Ruthven's smoky eyes looked hard into the girl's cherubic face. He was the Master here, and yet it was he who felt mesmerized at this moment. Slave Sophia looked up into his forbidden intensity, his angular face promising danger and something more.
"Master, it looks painful." She looked fearfully over at the Horse with its line of five vibrators, each longer than the last.
"You will have to learn to trust me, Sophia." Ruthven's stern tone seemed to close the discussion.
Lucia chose that exact moment to strut over, giving the startled young blonde a sloppy kiss as the vampire Mistress' fingers traced Sophia's tainted slit, drawing a cum-soaked finger to her lips.
"Mmm. Your mingled juices are quite the heady flavor," Lucia purred tauntingly. Ruthven glared at the gorgeous Latina even as she bared her fangs. He had also not failed to notice Sophia's flinch at his former lover's touch. Lucia hadn't changed a bit. She still enjoyed stirring the pot; doing whatever she could to get under his skin.
"Do that again, Lucia, and it will be the last thing you regret." The harshness of his words made even the vampire Mistress flinch, and they were fueled by more than just protectiveness for his new slave. He sensed in Sophia's reaction a definite reticence to being caressed by one of her own sex. Although many vampire masters and mistresses disregarded their slaves' sexual preferences, forcing them to do whatever demeaning thing might delight their own whims, Lord Ruthven held a different view.
'If the girl is repulsed by others of the same gender, I will not force her. Not ever,' Ruthven growled inwardly, much as the sight of these two beautiful women before him - a strange contrast of pale innocence beside dusky decadence - had the power to entice him.
He wanted to blot out the unbidden fantasy that erupted in his mind. Sophia on her back, arms chained behind her with creamy thighs spread and Lucia's exotic face nestled against her sex, lapping hungrily...
"No!" Before he realized he'd even said the word aloud, he saw both women stiffen beside him. Lucia took a large step back, and there was contempt in her voice.
"You're so hopelessly besotted you don't even see it." Lucia's body was as tense as a tigress about to leap onto prey, the better to rip its throat out.
"See what?" he spat back, his right arm cradling protectively around Sophia's naked torso. Sophia felt her insides coil with heat as his strong arm draped over her breasts.
"She reminds you of Claire, doesn't she? You look into her eyes and you see what you've mourned over, for what...more than ten centuries?" Lucia's words were mocking yet also bitter - as if she felt that Ruthven should feel the same pangs of loss for their own wrecked relationship.
He stared at Lucia coldly, but the words had already penetrated home. Part of him knew it was true, and he thought back. Back to that night, when he'd still been human and living in the savage forests of northern Germania. Claire had been a girl from a Franconian tribe - one promised to him as a marriage alliance connecting his people to a foreign king. His father had arranged it, a politically expedient union which had nothing to do with love.
But on the evening after their wedding he and Claire had explored each other, discovered each other, and he'd known the truth. He could have loved her for a lifetime, life's troubles and obstacles notwithstanding - come what may.
Except his 'happily ever after' had turned into a nightmare. An intruding band of Germanic raiders had attacked their camp, killing Claire after doing unspeakable things to her...and leaving him for dead. Only the bite of a rogue vampire had saved him...
He licked his lips and looked down at his trembling slave Sophia. The blood lust inside him surged as he thought of the painstakingly thorough vengeance he had taken on those Germanic raiders...when he had eventually tracked each one down, one by one - as methodical as a general planning a campaign of annihilation.
"This is why I left you, Lucia. You were always one to stab and rend with your tongue, ravaging old wounds. You never could leave well enough alone."
The perfectly curved vampire beauty turned her back to him, muttering his name interlaced with profanities, stalking back to the three male slaves she had tied to the portable platform against the dungeon chamber's far wall. As if to remove Ruthven completely from her thoughts, she approached her third slave, a man she ruthlessly referred to as 'Slave Three' since she did not believe in giving human pets the dignity of names.
She knelt between his legs, her mouth gorging on his cock, encasing and pumping in one fluid motion. The helpless slave moaned, a muffled and pitiful sound through the hood over his head and the gag in his mouth. Lucia's sexy buttocks wiggled as her head bobbed up and down, up and down to the rhythm of her efforts. The sound of suction echoed uncomfortably through the room. Ruthven cursed inwardly as his cock strained harder, watching his former flame suck the male captive's manhood.
Lucia came off of the slave's now-slimy cock with a shiver of delight, licking her chops before the stray bits of pre-cum could ooze free, and then she deep-throated the dark-skinned male's shaft for round two.
Soon the man's bound form, with arms and legs spread-eagled, was trembling in the throes of his barely contained orgasm. Then, just when it seemed the slurping crescendo had reached unbearable heights, the devilish woman abruptly removed her oral pleasures again, and this time slowly straddled him, mounting his mushroom-shaped tip as her fingernails raked down his chest like claws.
"Would you like me to fuck you, Number Three? Does your cock deserve a wet, warm pussy hugging its length?" She teased him by letting just the tip of his cock push past her delicate labia. Her hips moved in quick, subtle plunges, tormenting him at the entrance to her pussy. When the slave strained to nod and plead a muffled affirmative through his gag, Lucia scooted forward, tore off his hood and ripped the gag from his mouth.
"Be quiet and still! Worthless male! You think just because I ask your wishes that they are the only things that matter? That your Mistress' pleasure is so unimportant? Typical male - thinking only with your manhood. Caring little for anything but your own lust." She straddled his jaw now, her pussy lips grinding into his face. "Worship your Mistress' cunt like a good slave and I might let you come."
Ruthven tried to ignore Lucia's cruel antics, returning his focus to Sophia. Yet the young blonde girl could not seem to tear her gaze away from Lucia's lithe and naked form now humping the head of her man-slave. Lucia crooned as the man began to lick, reaching her fingers back to pinch the helpless man's nipples. She sat back, her own nipples hardened like tiny pink jewels as her hips bucked forward, thrusting her clit harder and harder into the man's tongue.
"Suck me, lick me. Ooohhh FUCK. Yes, my little man-slave. Feast on your Mistress' cream...Aahhhh!" Soon the stricken male slave was slurping wildly, desperately, as Lucia's back arched with amazing flexibility, her arousing scent flooding the slave's face, leaving him sticky with her nectar as her thighs pressed against the sides of his skull in a mind-numbing release.
Sophia watched all of this, thoughts wheeling through her head like flocks of birds too numerous to count. 'I remind Master of someone he once loved?' Could something so simple explain why he treated her more humanely compared to all the other slaves she'd witnessed suffering under other vampires' torments? If so, did it mean that she should play along? Pleasing him seemed her surest route to...what, safety? What was her goal here and now? She thought of her sister and two brothers of her parents - all probably worried and fretful with grief by now. Could she ever get back to them?
'If I can, it will be through this man' she thought, looking up into Ruthven's stormy but not unkind eyes.
Her hands were free, although a rope collar had been tightened around her neck with a leash dangling down her side. She now used those hands to expert effect, grasping the base of Ruthven's cock with one hand and caressing the testicles underneath with her other. Ruthven's eyes widened in lust-tinged shock.
"What are you doing girl?" He gripped her shoulders, pushing her gently away. There was a vulnerability in his eyes, as if Lucia's words still stung and he needed to dominate Sophia in order to drown his sorrows.
"Hands above your head!" he barked. Sophia obeyed, watching as he ensnared both wrists in a pair of leather cuffs which dangled from a horizontal chain which ran above the Horse. He proceeded to turn the first vibrator on and then glided behind her, his hands gently stroking her sides.
"I want you to straddle the first cock for me. Ride it hard and fast. Ride it until I tell you to stop." Sophia bit her lip, wishing she could say something to distract him, but the steel in his eyes told him that there would be no dissuading. With a gulp the young woman awkwardly walked toward the Horse and then had to use her arm strength to pull herself up. Then, shifting her body weight, she was able to slide her dangling wrists forward along the chain until she was poised just above the 7.5 inch blood-red vibrator.
Lord Ruthven's mouth went dry as he watched the naked beauty dangling, her pale body looking like a virgin about to be sacrificed onto the phallus of a minor god. He came over to her unexpectedly, his right hand gently palming her right breast as his whisper caressed her ears.
