Selene groaned, staring up through a circular hole in the ceiling at a starry sky. Cool air swirled throughout the chamber, giving her nude body the chills.
The candles flickering around her didn't provide much warmth, casting strange shadows on the stone dome far above her head. She had discovered to her detriment that they were hazards. If she tried to move around too much, the candle wax would spill, burning painfully on her skin.
Still, it made her itchy to do
nothing
. She was a superhero. Action was part of her nature. A calling.
She tugged at her wrists, attached chains clinking gently against the hardwood table. She was bound at her ankles, wrists, and neck, making it impossible for her to get up at all. These weren't rough restraints; the smoothness of the metal cuffs indicated that they had been machined. Whoever had captured her had been well prepared, and had probably been watching her for a long time.
Clenching her fingers into fists, she forced herself to relax and think logically. Why hadn't anyone noticed she had gone missing? The last day or so was hazy in her mind, and she didn't really know when she had been kidnapped, but surely her girlfriend would have noticed her missing at work.
Her lips twisted. She couldn't rely on the superhero guild. They didn't consider her a part of their group, even though she paid the dues. Some of that was likely because she wasn't on friendly terms with some of their members. The Rat Patroller would never forgive her for using some of his rats in her science experiments, but how was she to know that some of the rats in her traps were
his
?
How could they expect her to live up to her name of
Witchbreaker
if she couldn't experiment to figure out the most effective potions to block transference between different dimensions? It was so unfair.
Her calling was even more important given the recent paranormal activity. She could tell something strange was in the air, as she had been forced to banish at least two summoners to prevent them from bringing in demonic entities from a different plane within the last month. There was probably some sort of unique celestial confluence going on that she was unaware of. She hated those.
Breathing hard, she took in the smoky night air. The fear was beginning to dissipate, replaced with boredom. There was nothing to
do
, and she could only speculate so much. She wanted something to happen, damnit!
"Hello, Witchbreaker," said a sultry voice behind her bound head. "Or should I say,
Selene?
"
Crap. Her kidnapper knew her real name. How could that have possibly slipped out? None of the heroes at the guild knew it. Her captor must have supernatural research.
A stone settled in her stomach as two taloned hands wrapped a chain around her neck, a dark, heart shaped amulet settling between her large breasts. The smoky purple hands seized them, squeezing languorously.
Selene gulped, grimacing at the pleasurable sensations her body produced as the sharp talons tweaked her nipples. She was a real painslut, but her captor couldn't know that. She would have to be careful here - if her secret fetish was exposed, there was no telling
what
her captor would do to her to make her compliant.
"Mmmmm, no begging for mercy? I like that," said the woman as she ran a talon up Selene's neck line.
Selene bit her lip, doing everything she could to avoid reacting. She closed her eyes. She didn't like this. She didn't want to be tortured to the edge of her endurance, breaking only when her pussy gaped, waiting for more pleasurable abuse.
It was rather embarrassing, and none of the men she had dated in the past were willing to go that far. It tended to chase them away, leaving her unfulfilled. That was why she had gotten so serious with Aline lately. The woman had a hidden dark side that knew exactly how to treat her, to make her scream in pleasure, superhero or not.
Aline
. She needed to hold on for her, if nobody else. This was nothing. She could bear this pleasurable torture.
She opened her eyes, determined to face her captor and demand her freedom. Instead, she gasped at what she saw. Crap.
The woman was a creature straight out of some of her most torrid nightmares. A perfectly proportioned body, built for fucking, nude purple skin highlighted by flames flickering down her thighs with every step. Bony protuberances were attached to her shoulders like armor, covered with spikes.
Metallic studs twinkled at her nipples, chin, and triangular ears, which stuck out sideways under endless falls of hair, black as night. In the center of it all, two fiery red eyes, slitted like a cat. Filled with lust for
her
.
Double crap. This time, the summoner wasn't your run of the mill cultist. This was a true
demoness
, and there was no way of telling how powerful the outsider had become during her stay on this plane. She must have missed catching another summoner, but where, and when? Her detection spellwork was impeccable!
Her eyes shifted, trying to ignore the demoness' unnatural beauty. She did have the equipment necessary to banish a demon, but not here. Not with her. Not when she needed it.
She grimaced. She felt so damn aroused. Probably a side effect of being so close to the demoness. Her cuffs tinkled as she tried to move her hands towards her privates involuntarily. She was in real trouble.
The demoness tilted her head, fire dancing in her eyes. "You don't look like much now, but that's not a problem. I can fix that. Make you perfect for my needs." Her forked tongue flickered out, revealing multiple piercings on its split ends.
Selene struggled, her left foot knocking a candle off the table. She groaned, trying to banish the sultry image of the demoness from her mind.
"Careful now," said the creature, stretching over to reveal the full extent of her luscious breasts. "You wouldn't want to injure yourself."
She stroked the unlit candle with a talon, and it flickered back to life. "Putting out a few candles won't ruin my plans."
She turned and lifted her well sculpted arms, gesturing at the hole in the ceiling. Her slender tail whisked through the air, dancing in excited patterns. "The blood moon has almost arrived, and with it, the final piece necessary to raise my Master. And you're the one who's going to make it possible!"
Selene blinked. The moon certainly wasn't looking normal. Maybe the demoness wasn't completely insane. "What if I don't want to make it possible?" she replied, thinking slowly. "What if I resist, every step of the way?"
The demoness chuckled. "An inconvenience, nothing more - which is why I've prepared a contingency."
Turning swiftly, she seized a pot. Pulling out a paintbrush, she dipped it within. She hummed a dark tune as she worked the brush over Selene's breasts. The brush's tip swirled as it licked at her nipples.
Selene wanted to protest, but instead began to laugh in a strained fashion, the bristles tickling her horrendously as the paint blackened her flesh.
The demoness clucked her tongue. "If you stop wiggling, I'll be done sooner. I wouldn't have to do this at all if you had decided to be more cooperative."
