Author's note:
Hey again, thanks for the positive reception on my last work. I was really surprised at how much people liked it. That being said, I'm trying something a little different. This story contains among other things: kidnapping/noncon, forced chastity, objectification, humiliation, and very vague transphobia. Look elsewhere if that's not your thing. Otherwise, hope it's hot!
This has a little more build up before it gets to the action cause i wanted to set up a quck premise for future stuff. Hope you don't mind.

There's a part of Andrew that's aware, even while unconscious, that something is wrong. But it doesn't become apparent what that
something
is until he wakes up. Head aching, throat dry, and muscles stiff. Reality fills his lungs like a breath of cold air.
The first thing he understands is that he doesn't recognize the ceiling above him. For a moment Andrew stares, absently admiring the dark wood until he tries to sit up. Then a layer of panic sets in because he can barely move.
Alarm flares in his chest. He looks left and right, trying to get his bearings. He's in a small and modest house. Sprigs of wild herbs dangle next to shelves stacked with clay jars and an open window lets in warm spring wind. Perhaps on another day it'd be serene. Except Andrew is bound, hands and feet tied with thick rope to the wooden table he's laying on.
What was I doing?
Andrew racks his brain, desperately trying to think of how he could have ended up here. It starts out blurry but the longer he thinks about it, the clearer it becomes. He'd been on his way home to the village and evidently had never made it.
A shortcut,
his mind supplies grimly.
I'd taken the shortcut through the Oldwoods.
And then what? His head hurts. That's when—
"So what's your name?" The voice is even and just a little raspy at the end and it startles Andrew badly because it comes from behind his head where he can't see. He pulls at his hands but the knots tying him down are unforgiving.
"Let me go," he snaps, trying to sound intimidating and more or less failing. It's hard to sound powerful when restrained and helpless. Where's his sword?
"That's an ugly name," the voice remarks dryly. "Doesn't suit you."
A figure circles around the table and by the late afternoon light seeping in through the window Andrew sees a man. He's pale-skinned and young, perhaps around the same age as Andrew himself, and the wide brimmed hat he's wearing immediately steals his attention. He's heard plenty of stories about the evils that live in the Oldwoods. Hags and witches that cast spells, concoct poisons, and curse innocent strangers.
"Are you a witch?" He asks quickly, dread worsening as he realizes that the stranger has his own sword raised idly in his right hand. His
weapon.
He wrestles with his bonds again, to no avail.
The man tilts his head and his nearly black hair falls in front of his eyes. "What's your name?" There's a layer of—something—in his voice now. Something slightly colder than before. It's not a question he'll ask again.
He tries to puff out his chest a little, which has limited effect when laid out. "Sir Andrew. Of Yorston."
"Sir Andrew." His captor sidles closer and his thin fingers wander to touch Andrew's left bicep, still covered by his tunic. "You look too young to be a knight."
That ticks Andrew off. "I'm of age!" The man raises his blade and Andrew stills. "I'll be knighted next week," he admits. "On my twenty first."
Fear causes him to freeze as the tip of his short-sword (his father's short-sword, should anything happen to it Andrew will surely be thrown out) swings above his chest.
"So not a knight. Not yet," the man says. With surprising delicacy the edge of the blade cuts through the front of his tunic, all the way down the middle till his chest is exposed.
"Let me go," Andrew tries again, even less commanding because the stranger's warm hands touch his pecs and trail over his bare stomach. It's as if he's being appraised like a midsummer hog. "Don't touch me.
Witch."
For he
must
be a witch, despite him looking nothing like the stories. He is not some ugly, green skinned old woman, hunched over her cauldron, cackling to no end. This man is willowy and fair faced.
The witch's amber gaze is piercing. He looks down at Andrew and it feels as if he's seeing straight through him. "How could you stop me?" He circles around the table to Andrew's feet and the sword bites into the fabric of his pants.
"You're not even a knight," he continues. "And I'm not a witch."
The air is cold on Andrew's now bare legs and it causes goosebumps, or maybe that's the fear. He thrashes against his ropes, this time for a good long minute.
"It's pointless."
Andrew stares up at the ceiling. He should have never taken that shortcut. He'd been warned about it time and time again. The Oldwoods are dangerous. Everyone knows that and still plenty of people risk the journey in order to shave off a few extra minutes.
Never again,
Andrew thinks.
If I somehow come out of this alive.
"What are you going to do with me?" He asks, a little more subdued now that he's practically naked. Andrew could meet a thousand different ends laying on this table, subjected to whatever is planned for him.
When his captor doesn't respond he cranes his neck to look down towards the end of the table. The man's gaze is bottomless.
"It's been too long since I've seen someone from outside the woods," the witch explains, almost to himself. He sets Andrew's sword out of sight. "If you wish to go home you must beg."
He scoffs. Even laid out and bare that's a ridiculous request. "I will
not.
I have honor."
At that, a sharp smile graces the man's pink lips. "We'll see about that." He hooks his fingers over the front of Andrew's underwear and pulls it down his legs as far as it will go, exposing him completely.
Embarrassment causes his face to heat up as the man examines him. A warm hand palms over his limp cock, just once.
"Well endowed," the man tips the brim of his hat up and his pale eyes gleam. "How blessed."
"No touching—" Andrew croaks and the stranger tips his head back to laugh. He sounds
soft
somehow, even when he does so.
"No touching? I quite agree." He moves out of sight and Andrew measures his breathing. This could be way worse than he thought.
"I'm Ezra, by the way." The man says behind him. "A warlock, not a witch. Though I'm sure no one from
Yorston
would know the difference."
A warlock.
Andrew frantically tries to recall the fables. Is he weak to sunlight? No, moonlight? Running water perhaps? There's a difference, and it's more than just appearances. He can't remember by the time Ezra returns to view. His evil hat is gone and his messy dark bangs frame his face. He doesn't look anything like Andrew imagines when he thinks of a warlock. In all honesty his face reminds Andrew of those pictures woven into the grand tapestries at the keep.
"Allow me to present to you your first set of armor, oh noble Sir," Ezra says, unmistakably mocking.
Andrew watches in horror as the warlock circles to the end of the table again and nears his precious cock. There's something metal in his hand and Andrew can't figure out what it's supposed to be.
"Stop,"
he gasps. "What's that—" Ezra's violating touch promises nothing good. He stares down between his legs, helpless to resist as the cold contraption pinches around his cock and balls and fits over him like a cage. "What is that?" He repeats, louder and more panicked this time. It feels
strange.
It feels weird. There's a pressure—he bucks his hips. Trying anything to make it stop.
When Ezra steps back to admire his work, Andrew sees exactly how his cock is locked up. There is no better term for it, even a tiny golden lock dangles off the front of it. His dick is forcibly limp against him, helplessly cradled in its own armor.
"I want you to pledge yourself to me," Ezra says, tying a small golden key around his own neck and tucking it under his shirt. "Then I'll think about freeing you."
"What?"
Andrew is in shock. "N-Never!" However, internally he is not as confident. It's a wildly different experience when an enemy has your entire livelihood in their hands.
But I'll be a knight soon,
he reminds himself. Or he will be if he manages to get out of this. Honor is paramount so he has to remain strong, like in the old tales. Perhaps people will come looking for him.
Ezra's smile is sly. "I like you," he decides. "You're a stubborn idiot." His hands drift to his belt and at first Andrew thinks he might be reaching for a flask. Perhaps a potion, a charm? Instead the man undoes his belt and Andrew catches one glimpse of pale thighs before he directs his focus to the ceiling again. His heartbeat is loud between his lungs and his face feels on fire. What an
awful
situation. He tugs at his bindings again. The rope is too rough and the table below him is too hard and his cock has been locked up like a common prisoner.
Something soft slips under his head, the first show of mercy, maybe pity. Andrew realizes it's Ezra's bundled up cloak as he carefully climbs on top of the wide table. Though he's not wearing pants, the end of his shirt covers up his cock as he gracefully shuffles up the length of the sturdy table, straddling Andrew. Revulsion starts to boil in his stomach.
"I won't do it. I only like women."
