Author's Note:
A Drow's Dilemma began as a one-on-one roleplaying project and has been converted into a chapter-by-chapter format for weekly posting with the permission and assistance from my partner. It will contain a considerable amount of sexual themes such as femdom, lesbian, straight, 'reverse' rape, BDSM, group sex, romance, and other themes. This particular chapter contains femdom, non-consent, and bondage. The main goal of the story, however, is to tell an epic tale of adventures, gods and goddesses, fae, and nymphomaniacs. This episode and every episode to come will be available for free on Literotica for the foreseeable future.

Episode Nine: Family Reunion
The next morning was bright and sunny, which did not match Caleldir's mood very well at all. The normally cheerful elf who had not even let being tortured ruin his mood found himself rather more gloomy and thoughtful than he had been in a long time. All last night he had dreamed of Ashyr: what might have happened if he had not turned her down, if he had not run away, if he had not decided to cling like a dying man to the morality of a long-past era...
Nothing was seen of either drow or wolf in the morning. Artur didn't seem to find that fact a good enough excuse to stop the troop's rush toward safety. Ashyr when missing in action all the time. But she'd always wander on in during some part of the day. Of course, there was other speculation as to why Ashyr went missing. Most of it revolved around how the 'fight' of the previous evening had ended.
"You are trying not to think about her." Gurzan noted around midday after observing Caleldir's brooding.
"How can you tell?" Caleldir asked sullenly.
"Besides the obvious?" Gurzan clicked his tongue. "You have a tendency to stare ahead and periodically violently shake your head when you are trying to control your thoughts."
"You are right. I am wondering if I made a mistake in turning her down last night."
Gurzan sighed. "I do not like the Drow, but she likes you. Still, discipline counts for more than desire. If you listened to discipline over desire, how can you regret your actions?"
"I know you are right." Caleldir said bitterly. "But I still wish things were different."
"That feeling will pass with time." Gurzan said philosophically. "It always does."
"I know that..." Caleldir's eyes went wide when Bard came tearing through the people walking down a path the troop had picked up. The young wolf made a lot of noise, but it sounded more distressed than its usual happy noises. He yipped at the Caleldir, spun around in a circle, then tore off into the west too fast for anyone to catch up. A couple moments later, he bounded back toward Cal. It did not take the young wolf much prodding after that before the elf grabbed his spear and took off running after the wolf. "Hold that thought, I think something is wrong with Lady Duskhaven!" With that, he was gone.
Gurzan shook his head. "And there he goes, head first into trouble. Well, nothing to it but to let him solve it himself." The half-orc continued trudging down the road.
Following Bard as fast as he could run, which was not anywhere near as fast as he would have liked to be able to run, Caleldir tore through the forest dodging branches and trees. Most of the time. Once or twice he ran headlong into something that he wished he had not. Still, after a little over thirty minutes, he burst out into the clearing where Ashyr was. And promptly stopped, eyes goggling.
The ranger had found herself naked and tied to a tree with her hands above her head just high enough that if she wanted to stand, it would have to be on her tiptoes. There was another rope tied around the smallest point of her waist to prevent her from wiggling too much. She could sit after a fashion, but it the rough bark wasn't comfortable against her exposed, femininely muscled thighs and well-curved ass. Eventually, with perhaps days of constant effort, she could fray the rope the hands were tied to. Then, maybe, she would be able to escape. The stupid bitch didn't even have the decency to let her get off a couple times before leaving her at the mercy of whatever beast came along. A good orgasm would have taken away the sting a bit.
Caleldir drank in her lascivious form, moving down from her luscious, perky breasts to her stomach to... he forced himself to look back up at her face. Closing his eyes and calming his breath, he took half a step away from her. "Err... what happened to you?"
The woman's gaze shot toward Caleldir and Bard when she heard their running footsteps. She visibly relaxed when she saw who it was. "Cal, I am so glad to see you." She said with relief in her voice. There was no hint of the awkwardness of the night before. "Remember when I was talking about the good kind of torture? Well, sometimes that doesn't end favorably either." Ashyr said with no small amount of annoyance and frustration in her voice. "Please get me out of this tree... You can totally take advantage of me first, though."
Caleldir wondered who tied her there and why, but that was not as important as actually untying her. Calming himself, he approached her, keeping his attention focused on the knot, which he reached up to fiddle with. "Forgive me if I do not take advantage of this situation." He muttered. The temptation to run his hand along her exotically obsidian skin was practically more than he could bear. It reminded him of someone else, so long ago. He was so close to her... Unconsciously, he looked down at her nude form. His arousal was beginning to cloud his judgement. "Pity I did not bring a knife." He muttered. He kept tugging on the knot. Whoever tied this knew what they were doing: he was not sure if he could get it.
She stared at him with completely unconcealed lust as he was forced to stand incredibly close to her to try to get her untied. "Come on." She whispered in a tone husky with need. "You don't even have to take your clothes off."
Try as he might, the knot remained intractable. Perhaps it was because his hands were shaking too much to really pull it apart, or perhaps it was because he was too distracted trying not to be distracted to give the complex knot the brain power it clearly needed. The mixture of frustration and arousal in Ashyr's voice was not helping things either. He stopped. What had she just said? "Wait, who exactly was 'torturing' you?" If this was part of some bizarre drow eroticism, the other party could still be nearby.
--
Another female drow stalked forward toward the tree she'd tied her cousin to. She'd gotten the necessary supplies: more rope, a couple knives, her poisons in case things got out of hand. Ashyr would pay for her betrayal of their house, of all the females in the family. Then she would take her back to their new masters so that the ranger could get the same treatment as she had.
But she paused in surprise. There was another person there. An apparent friend of her cousin's that had come to rescue her. A filthy pale elf. Well, he had come just a little bit too late. A wicked smile that no one could see spread across Selene's face. With utmost silence she pulled out one of her knives and splattered some dark liquid across it. One prick of that dagger could then take a person down for at least ten minutes. They would still be able to see, feel, and breathe. But they would just be trapped immobile inside their own bodies. It was perfect for a drow such as herself who wanted to teach someone larger than herself a lesson.
She crept forward. Clearly, Ashyr was too distracted by the male to notice what was right in front of her. She could get up right behind him, and still her ranger cousin didn't see her. Then the unknown drow slashed out at a bit of exposed pale skin.
He heard a nearly imperceptible sound behind him, and whirled around in paranoia to see who it was just in time for a knife to leap out and slash across his skin. The cut immediately healed without leaving so much as a scratch, but it was not the dagger he had to be worried about. Caleldir's muscles decided to stop working, and he crumbled backwards onto Ashyr, getting an earful of her chest before falling down completely at her feet. He found himself with a very interesting view of the woman, looking up her smooth legs to her tantalizing grey-purple womanhood so perfectly shaped and swollen with arousal. Of course, he could not do anything but look now.
Caleldir almost immediately concluded that he had been poisoned. Drat. Enchantments he could shrug off, or even counterspell (although he usually preferred not to...), but poisons were the bane of his existence. Whatever this poison was, it prevented him from moving anything besides his breath and eyes. Looking around for whoever did this to him, he was not surprised to see another drow, a little bit taller than Ashyr and much more elegantly curved. With the very limited range of motion from his paralyzed mouth, he hissed out a sentence. "You two related?" was all he could manage without moving his jaw.
