Gortelesque saw that the woman was waking. He smiled, his fangs bared as the woman began blinking away the unconsciousness that had plagued her for the last few days.
Jolie, the Arch-Fury of metal took stock of her situations while Gorrtelesque sat grinning in the shadows. The woman warrior was tied to a polished wooden table set at a 60 degree angle to the floor, with each arm and leg stretched out to each corner and tied securely with a padded leather thong.
Her eyes squinted, trying to peer through the darkness around her. A small glowstone illuminated the the area immediately around the table, but it also ruined her night vision, making it impossible for her to see outside of it's circle.
Gortelesque licked his lips in anticipation. He took in the naked form of the woman before him. Her wide hips and toned legs drew his attention first. His eyes slid upwards to her stomach, deceptively muscled through a thick layer of fat. Her breasts were mounds that his hands almost could not restrain themselves from touching, the nipples perky in the cold room. Her eyes were flashing, angry and narrowed in suspicion. Her teeth were gritted in effort as she attempted to strain against her bonds.
"I may as well tell you now there is no escape my dear." Hissed Gortelesque from the shadows.
Jolie whipped her head toward the source of his voice and glared. There was a soft rustling from her left and she turned just in time for the sneaky demon to clock her with his fist before disappearing back into the darkness.
"Just like a demon, all tricks without substance." She spat on the ground. "You can beat me all you want but I will never tell you anything about the Citadel."
Silence answered her.
"You may even break my spirit, but I could never betray my sisters. You have lost before anything has begun you sneaky bastard." After she said this, Jolie raged against her ties again, screaming incoherently as she spent all of her energy thrashing.
Her head ached and her muscles cramped in protest when she had finished screaming, her throat hoarse and dry. It was then that Gortelesque stepped into the circle of light, the shadows melting from his handsome features and accentuating the curves of his abdominal and arm muscles.
Jolie, panted, getting ready for another tirade. The demon reached out with one clawed hand and stroked her chin. The woman snapped at the hand, attempting to take a few fingers from it. Gortelesque was too fast however, and he gracefully pulled his hand back so that the Fury's teeth only clacked together.
"I see you remember me." Gorteelsque said pleasantly.
"You are the one who took my wings." Croaked Jolie. "And you can be sure that by the time this is all over, I will kill you for what you have done to me."
Gortelesque grinned.
"I do not think you are in a position for you to be making death threats on me my dear." said the demon,
"You would be surprised what I can do to a demon with just my teeth and fingernails." Jolie grinned maliciously. "I would gladly take any punishment you can give to have the chance to rip your throat out."
The demon just grinned and melted back into the shadows.
"You come back out here and face me you coward!" The fury croaked as loud as she could.
The demon reappeared with a long, blunt knife in his hand, his face passive and unyielding at the same time.
"This is what we call the doorman. It was so named because it is the introduction to pain for our new initiates." He came close to her and placed his hand on her belly, his eyes staring straight into her defiant brown ones. "We call it that because it is relatively dull and not able to cause much damage should the initiate fail to control his subject."
"Is a dull knife supposed to scare me." said Jolie sarcastically. "I got stabbed with a sword and had my wings ripped off, I think I can take your little seal breaker."
"Of course you can, that is the whole point." Whispered Gortelesque.
He placed the tip of the knife against the place where her right leg joined her body. The cold metal drew an involuntary intake of breath as it scraped upon her skin, sending shudders of physical pleasure through her body and causing her breathtaking breasts to bounce.
Jolie closed her eyes, seeming to want to will the physical sensations away. Gortelesque grinned slightly and narrowed his eyes in concentration as he moved the knife all around Jolie's sensitive areas, causing the waves of pleasure rippling through her body to become more focused and intense. With horror, the Fury realized that she was on the verge of an orgasm when she moaned in pleasure.
Just as one more inch of knife play would cause her to erupt in the most savage orgasm of her life, Gortelesque pulled the knife away, sweat beading on his brow from the intensity of his work.
"You call that knife play?" Said Jolie as shudders of pleasure still ripped through her. "I have met at least a dozen women better than you."
Gortelesque smiled again as he walked off into the shadows with the knife.
I always scoffed at the women who fell and were tried at court.
Thought Jolie.
