Cursed Ring Of The Sorceress Pt 03

Anna knelt in a stupor, head bowed, closed off to the world. All she felt was Boregut's firm grip on her shoulder and a solid finger pressed against her sensitive pussy.

Bit by bit, her senses return. First, she heard the gleeful grunting of the other two orcs. She saw the stone floor beneath her and Boregut's hand in her crotch. Then the scent of Boregut's erection snapped her out of her daze. She had to confront Boregut about this indiscretion, but his touch felt nice.

"Captain..." Her attempt to speak was cut off by increased pressure from Boregut's finger.

She lifted her head, and his erection came into view. Orange torchlight highlighted the veins. The aroma was stronger, now that it was mere inches from her nose.

Her eyes fearfully feasted on it--as if merely looking was enough to corrupt her--starting at the tip, then slowly drifting down the length of the shaft, until they settled on the tangled mess of hair surrounding his balls. She wanted to reach out and clear away the hair so she could see the entire thing; her academic curiosity mixed with her arousal.

She had a spell that could clear away that tangled mess instantly, but the ring wouldn't allow such a thing. The ring-- could it be affecting her in other ways?

A glistening drop formed on the end of Boregut's penis. It looked like a drop of fresh morning dew. Anna wanted it.

She leaned in and licked it up, savoring the saltiness. Boregut grunted in response; she circled her tongue around his tip. Boregut's fingering intensified, slipping past the moistened panties and into her vagina. With trepidation, she let out a whimper. It felt more solid than the tendrils.

She had spent much time in the company of orcs, but she always maintained they were disgusting creatures: useful for certain tasks and easily manipulated, but nothing more. They were certainly not a candidate for romance.

But here she was, wanting to explore more of Boregut.

Anna heard a flurry of boot steps. More orcs were entering the room. "What was all that noise?" One orc stepped forward, a silver nose ring glinting. It was Boregut's second-in-command, Kurg.

Boregut sighed and withdrew his finger. He stood turning towards the orcs, taking his cock out of Anna's reach. She crawled after it but lost her balance and had to grab onto his thigh. Looking at his crotch, she saw that he had put his cock away and was lacing up. She frowned.

"We might have trouble, Lady Anna," Boregut whispered. She felt foolish for letting her loins, not her head, command her.

"What's goin' on here?" Kurg looked at Boregut, then at the practically naked Anna.

"The Lady Anna needed my assistance," replied Boregut.

Another orc spoke up, "What was all the flashin' lights?" Others were grumbling about curses and hauntings.

"Err, nothing that the Lady Anna can't handle," Boregut looked down at Anna. She didn't look like she could handle anything.

"It's that ring." Another orc pointed at Anna's hand, hissing.

"Boregut was right! This place is cursed. No gold is worth this foulness."

The orcs were stirring themselves into a frenzy.

Anna stood, stepping in front of Boregut. "Silence!" She would've augmented her command with a spell if it weren't for the ring. "This place is perfectly safe, but yes, the ring has proven to be a troublesome little toy. It's suppressing my magical abilities, but I assure you it is only temporary."

Kurg approached Anna. "Suppressed ya magic? Then what do we need ya for?" Looking to Boregut, "We can just take her gold and leave, even take her as a pet."

Boregut grabbed Anna by the shoulder and pulled her back. "The Arcanists are not a group of humans you want to cross. We are much better off on their side."

A voice from the crowd, "Then let's just kill her and go! They would never know." Other orcs echoed the idea, expressing a desire to return to a life of raiding and banditry. "We just sit around all day and protect a human. We're no better than herdsmen at this point!"

Boregut drew a sword. "No one is killing the Lady Anna. Go if you must, but no coin goes with you."

"Aye, no one is killing the human," Kurg said, brandishing an axe. "She is much more valuable alive. Step aside."

"She is no value to you while I live, scum!"

"Then, Boregut, you die."

Before Anna realized it, Boregut and Kurg had come to blows. She knew Boregut occasionally had to dispatch quarrelsome orcs to maintain order, but she had never seen such work firsthand. She didn't think it necessary to see such crude behavior.

The two orcs circled, trading blows, evading and parrying. The crowd roared with excitement, caring only for the thrill of the fight--not who won or died.

Anna crouched down next to the stone casket, watching. Boregut moved with a grace she didn't think possible. He made a lunging thrust, a hint of his muscled thigh visible through his jerkin trousers. And then there was Kurg, lanky and vicious.

She shuddered to think what would happen if Kurg won. Her only hope was for Boregut to prevail.

Kurg slammed Boregut against the stone casket, pinning him in place. The force of the impact stunned Boregut, and he dropped his sword. Kurg brought his axe blade up to Boregut's throat, ready to finish it, but Boregut grabbed hold of the haft and pushed back. They were locked in a test of pure strength.

Anna looked on, wide-eyed, but above her fear, one realization stood clear--this was her moment. She had the tiniest bit of energy left within her, enough for the simplest of spells, more of a trick than anything else.

She focused.

Kurg was weaker, but was in the advantageous position, pushing down with all body weight. But then a wave of dizziness came over him, lasting only a moment. He readjusted his footing, giving Boregut the opportunity he needed.

Boregut pushed Kurg away and wrenched the axe from his hands. Kurg fell to the ground, and before he could scramble up the axe came down and impacted just below his neck, severing his spine.

Anna felt the familiar sensations of the ring. It had consumed most of the spell's energy; she didn't know if the spell even affected Kurg.

"I am your chief! Any other challenges?" Boregut brandished the axe at the crowd. Silence.

"The Lady Anna is under my protection, and I will claim her!"

Claim her! She knew what those words meant. She was ready.
