Nicole's Note: In the real world, playing with fantasies of hypnotic nonconsent requires a foundation of deep trust, as well as things like safewords and aftercare. This is a fantasy, as I hope the goblins and cowgirls make clear. ;)
Also, if you're reading this in August, please keep wearing masks and social distancing. We don't get to act like the pandemic's over just because we "got bored of it".

"Well, well,
well
." The buxom, leather-clad goblin maid smirked up at him, pacing a wide, careful arc around his chair—no doubt aware of what had happened to the last goblin maid who'd come too close to their captive, even tied up as he was. "What a stitchuation you've found yourself in, Sir Oriole." She brushed a lock of dark scarlet hair from her bright crimson eyes and regarded him with smoldering contempt. "Quite the, uh, what's-the-word, periling place for a mere man to find himself in."
The Vagrant Knight Sir Oriole smiled grimly, squirming only slightly in the tight silks they'd bound him in. The single lantern suspended above the two of them glinted faintly and sparked, evidence of its fading magics. "I hope you don't expect me to tell you anything, Jallzi."
The criminal made a show of innocence, putting a hand to her plump, beestung dark forest green lips, "Why, Sir Oriole! What a presumptin' thing to say!" She leaned in slightly, hands clasped behind her back "We would
never
expect a
boy
to have anything to say to
us
."
"Your operations are finished. People know where I am." Sir Oriole projected a casual triumph he didn't quite feel. The goblin girl gang was infamously vicious when it came to spies, and it was the honey shoes for him at
best
. "And besides, they'll contact the guards soon, no matter
what
happens to me."
"The Cherry Street Dancers can handle a few guards." She smirked. A knife seemed to materialize in her hand, and she twirled it as she continued to circle him. Her wide, lovely hips swayed from side to side with every step, the swell of her ass complemented by her shapely legs and long, pointed stilettos that
clicked
and
clacked
in an easy rhythm. "And even if not... well, all we've gotta do, see, is work out who
you
told, don't we? Whoever that woman is's the only
real
threat."
"You won't get anything out of me." He glared, not biting the hook. Though yes, he
had
told a woman—his old partner, Lehalia—but not because women always knew best or whatever sexist drivel this goblin minx believed. "And my contact is very well-hidden."
She shot him a sly glance. "Only as well-hidden as the willpower of one
boy
."
Sir Oriole smiled, in spite of his situation. He wasn't worried about that part. The torture, the brutality—the Cherry Street Dancers were infamous for it. Though he'd never seen their particular methods, he'd seen just about every method under the sun. He knew how to cope with interrogation. "Feel free to try. I look forward to disappointing you."
His confidence now was genuine, and he could tell by that hardening glint in her eyes that she knew it.
The goblin maid pouted. "I don't suppose I can get you to choose the
easy
way?" She batted her eyelashes. "C'mon, Ori, you
know
you want to. We can make it
worthwhile
-like, hm?"
He snorted. Goblin maids always fell back on this. The sweetness. As if a seasoned investigator like him would fall for that. Tied to a chair in a dimly-lit cell at the bottom of the base of the Cherry Street Dancers' criminal syndicate, surely she didn't expect him to just fall for the first pretty girl he saw. What a pathetic way to go. Did it
ever
work? "You think just because I'm a man, I'll fall to your wiles that easily?"
She smirked. "Well, you
are
just a man," she purred. "I bet a
man
, a
boy
, would give up
anythin'
with the, uh,
suitin' motivations
, Oriole."
He sighed. "Just stop wasting my time. I won't talk."
Her smile only widened. Jallzi raised her hand and snapped her fingers. "C'mon in!" she called.
There was a knock at the door. A surprisingly timid, soft knock, one that didn't exactly sound like it was coming from goblin maid knocking-level. Sir Oriole, despite himself, blinked, wondering what that meant.
Of course, it wouldn't matter. Sir Oriole didn't exactly meet Jallzi's stereotypes for a 'boy', with his years of training, and he smirked inwardly, looking forward to the attempt. Or, well... maybe not looking
forward
to the attempt, because it would no doubt be excruciating torture, but he planned to take what little satisfaction he could from the look on her face when she realized he wasn't going to crack as easily as her husband must every night.
"Yeah, yeah," Jallzi said impatiently. "C'mon in! The boy's all ready for you."
The metal door squeaked open, and a woman strode inside.
Sir Oriole stared, briefly caught completely and utterly off-guard.
She wasn't a goblin maid. She was...
very
much not a goblin maid.
She was almost as tall as a human woman, albeit a little on the short side, with milky-white skin and eyes as deep hazel as a forest after sunset. Her slightly flushed, freckled cheeks were plump and dimpled, complementing a pleasantly heart-shaped face. Her lips were a pale violet, and her pouty lower lip quivered a little as she regarded him. Was that sympathy in her pretty brown eyes?
For a moment, Sir Oriole just stared at her, transfixed by those friendly, open eyes.
But he couldn't ignore gravity forever. Eventually, unwillingly, his eyes couldn't help but drift... down to her...
"
Thought
so," murmured Jallzi slyly to his left, as his eyes settled briefly on the woman's massive, heaving, jiggling tits, barely contained in her tight black corset. He flushed and forced his gaze back up.
The woman walked into the room, hips swaying with every step. Her hair was a brilliant, beautiful shade of auburn, and a pair of distinct bullhorns rose and curved slightly up from the top of her head. She wasn't human, either. A holstaur. A cowgirl.
She blinked down at him, and again, Sir Oriole thought he saw sympathy in her gaze.
"Oh, hi," she said softly, almost sounding surprised. Her voice was like misting rain. "Hi, sweetie. What's your name?"
Sir Oriole blinked once, twice.
This was... not the vicious supervillain he had been expecting. He almost looked askance at Jallzi, but out of the corner of his eyes he could see that the goblin maid criminal was smirking, and he didn't want to give her the satisfaction of conveying his confusion to her.
"Um... Sir Oriole," he said haltingly. "And you are?"
The holstaur took a step closer. Her eyes were wide and innocent, almost... friendly. Almost adoring, actually, as she looked him over, her gaze welling with what might have been
pity
at his state. "My name is Heather," she said softly, coming to stand right in front of him. Closer, he noted, than Jallzi had dared come. They hadn't tied his legs. "It's
so
nice to meet you, Oriole."
Oriole swallowed. He had no idea what was going on, and it felt inappropriate now to make the cruel quips he had been planning. He didn't want to seem soft in front of Jallzi, though.
Actually, he thought with a pang, if only Jallzi weren't here, perhaps he could persuade this creature to his side. He'd always heard that holstaurs were as sweet as cotton candy and as harmless as falling snow. Surely this one wouldn't willingly stand by and let him be harmed.
"It's nice to meet you, too," he said uncertainly. "I, um... well, to be honest, you weren't what I was expecting, Heather."
She giggled. "Aw, what were you expecting?"
He met her eyes, trying to ignore how her breasts jiggled with her laughter. She was so close, it wasn't easy. "Well, um... someone smaller, for one."
Heather laughed, beaming down at him. "Aw, I'm sorry! Am I... overwhelming to you?" She leaned down, slightly, and
gods
, Oriole's heart positively pounded with need as those tits hung down, so full. She smelled... sweet. Milky. Oh, was she... oh. "Want me to come down to your level a little bit, Oriole?"
Oriole stared helplessly, briefly unsure what to even say.
"Of course he does," Jallzi purred, right in his ear. "Poor Oriole can't
help
