Chapter Two: House Baranth
The dark streets of Pallantirith wound through caverns larger than most cities above ground. For the uninitiated, the city was a maze of dead ends and deep pits. Beneth walked smoothly through the winding alleys with the confidence of a life-long resident.
House Baranth was near the edge of the city limits. They were known for their farming skills and they had miles of ledges of fungi and light-sensitive plants growing around their house. They were one of the minor houses in terms of wealth and influence, but they served a critical need for the self-dependent city.
Beneth quickly checked the notes his father had given him, the favor that would be asked of House Baranth. He knocked confidently on the door and a young, beautiful man answered. The servant led Beneth down a long hallway, on each side were expertly painted murals of explicit sexual scenes. The dark elves had left human morals and modesty on the surface. As they neared the end of the hall, he saw that there was work in progress and many lengths of wall left to complete.
The servant led him into a large open room, lit dimly by glowing lamps. Seated in a simple stone chair was the head of the house, Xeide Baranth. Beneth had met her a few times at various social and business functions. She was a small woman, ageless as all dark elves, and wore her hair in a ponytail.
"What pleasure do I have for this visit?" She asked. Of course, Beneth suspected that she knew very well why he was there. There were very few secrets kept in the dark city.
"My lady, I have a favor to ask on behalf of House D'Ysdelith," he spoke with his deep voice. "We have run into financial difficulties in our latest mining venture. We humbly ask House Baranth to extend our credit for supplies an additional six months with modest interest."
He bowed his head humbly and waited for her response. There was never any guarantee that the other houses would help - having very handsome sons and daughters helped.
Xeide stood up and gracefully walked around him like a dancer. Though she was nearly twice his age and half his height, she had a commanding presence. "Our families have been allies for many years. It wasn't so many decades ago that I sent my own daughter to your father. Yes, I think that we can make an arrangement."
She motioned to the servant, "Please join me this afternoon in my workshop and we can discuss the details. In the meantime, Thanis will show you to your room."

After a light meal and a warm bath, Beneth arrived in Xeide's workshop in the early afternoon. A naked woman, very slight of build and with small breasts, was lounging on a sofa. Xeide came over and took Beneth's hand. "So here is my proposal. You will stay with me for a few days as a model for the mural I am painting in the entry hall. Once I finish the panel, you will have completed your service to me and I shall reward your favor. Do you agree?"
The arrangement of favors was a long history in the underdark, sometimes they were manual labor but mostly they were sexual. The only rule was that you could not cause any permanent harm to the young man or woman, and you could not keep them for more than one month. The lesser houses would do favors for the greater houses with much less demand. A few days was a very equitable arrangement.
"My lady Xeide, I thank you for your generosity and accept your terms."
"Excellent!" She exclaimed. "Let's get started at once. Please remove your clothing."
Beneth quickly stripped down without any shame. Xeide looked admiringly at his soft cock, "My, my... you are special. I will enjoy painting you."
She took a long silver wire from a velvet lined box on her work table. "Beneth, I will need you to be erect for many hours while I paint you and my dear model, Paline. We couldn't have any accidents, so this little device will keep you in the moment."
Xeide's small hands reached down and started wrapping the thin wire around the base of his balls, pushed back his foreskin and wrapped the head and then wrapped the base of his hairless dick too. Within seconds, he felt a warm tightening embrace by the wire and he was fully hard. The wire slid through the slit of his dick and he could feel it tickling all the way down his shaft. It was perfectly comfortable but he could tell that it had completely blocked his ability to cum.
Beneth let out a sigh and she motioned him over to Paline. "So this panel will have three scenes, first you will take Paline from her hands and knees. If you would please take your places on the blanket."
Paline looked Beneth with clear longing and quickly got to her hands and knees. She looked more than ready as her velvety dark purple pussy was already wet. He wasted no time, placing his cock head against her small slit. He slid in smoothly, though she let out a long moan as he filled her. "Oh my, you are so big. That is wonderful"
"Very good," Xeide called out from behind her panel. "Now, please keep a good pace. I want to see her shake."
Beneth did as commanded and began to pound in and out of Paline's pussy with long, strong strokes. Paline was clearly enjoying it, and she pushed her ass back to feel his dick's full size. After a few minutes, she let out a long and happy cry as she came hard on his dick. Beneth felt a strange and uncomfortable straining in his balls as his own orgasm was held back.
He was now sweating freely down his muscular torso as he continued to fuck her hard. Paline was in complete heat and now just braced herself to take his athletic thrusts. "Oh yes, so big," she moaned. He began to fuck her harder in a futile effort to cum - the sensation in his balls and cock growing hotter and more urgent every minute.
