Chapter 2: The Dining Chamber
"And now you will dine with the other whores," said Silerna, as they left the bathing room. The air in the corridor was warm and slightly breezy, making the large blue flowers that lined the wall sway on their dark vines. "By this time, all of you Captives can see properly, and all of you understand our language, and now you will learn about our ways." Silerna turned to face Mira and gently fastened a collar around her neck, attached to a black rope that felt cool when it brushed Mira's arm. Mira realized it was a thick vine, identical to the ones on the wall. Silerna held the vine-leash and led Mira back down the corridor, to where a tall Tiran man stood, staring ahead with an impassive expression. "Guard, here is our last Captive. You will bring her to the dining chamber. You will punish her if she misbehaves." She handed Mira's leash to the guard.
"Yes, madam." The guard spoke without changing expression.
"Little slut, you will speak respectfully to your guard and address him as 'Master,'" said Silerna, running a hand over Mira's head. "You will do as he commands."
Mira wanted to scream, 'Don't leave me!' But she held her tongue and said quietly, "Yes, Mistress."
The guard turned and led Mira down a long, spiral ramp. His brown-yellow body was painted with a smooth black fabric that clung to him so closely Mira could see the bulges of his back muscles shift as he walked. Like the two Tiran women, he stood a full foot taller than Mira. When Mira and the guard reached the bottom of the spiral, the ramp opened out into a large, round room, with a raised platform in the center, surrounded by small, plush red armchairs. In each armchair sat an Earth woman; there were about 75 of them. Their smooth nakedness, in all of the skin tones known on Mira's beloved planet, stood out against the dense, dark nap of the armchairs.
The guard led Mira to an empty chair near the heart of the circle. "You will sit," he told her, and she moved toward the seat, but felt a yanking at her neck as the guard pulled her back. "You will bend over the chair," he told her impassively. Mira bent over, holding onto the back of the chair, and felt the guard's huge hand sear her bottom with a painful slap. She gasped. "You will respond when I give you an order. You will say 'Yes, Master,'" he instructed, in his strange, low voice. He spanked her again, and again.
"Yes, Master," croaked Mira. He commanded her to rise, and to take her seat, and she responded correctly this time. The plush chair felt soothing against her sore buttocks. She settled in, and turned her body to watch as the guard wrapped the vine-leash around the back of the seat. She felt a tension in her collar as the leash pulled itself tight, tethering her to the chair, forcing her to face forward again. A moment later, the guard handed Mira a bowl of square-cut purple fruit simmering in a stew of a non-earthly color. "Eat your bandy fruit," he commanded, handing her the bowl.
"Yes, Master." As the pain settled into her skin, she felt the familiar heat sneak into her crotch. Maybe they would command her to open her pussy for this Tiran man. She snuck a quick glance at him, at the black bulge between his legs that appeared larger since he had punished her. When he turned his head toward her, Mira quickly bent over her bowl. She ate the fruit with her fingers, sucking the juice and letting it slip slowly down her throat, closing her eyes to savor the flavor. Too soon, the bowl was empty. The guard took the bowl and handed her a tall glass full of clear liquid, commanding her to drink. "Yes, Master," she said, eagerly reaching for the glass. She lifted the glass to her mouth and took a full gulp, and gagged, almost spitting it out. It was salty and desperately bitter, the bitterest liquid she had ever tasted. Quickly, she swallowed; she did not want to leave this flavor in her mouth any longer than necessary. She looked up at the guard to see if he had noticed her gagging. He was indeed watching her, a faint smile of amusement in his violet eyes.
"You will drink all of your bandy wine, little slut," the guard said. She took another sip, her eyes on his, and swallowed obediently. "Good girl," he said, and she felt a pang in her pussy. The guard looked even more amused, as he watched her squirm in her seat. He leaned close. "If you ask me to fuck you, I will be required to beat you again, so do not ask, little slut," he murmured. "Unless you enjoy being beaten."
Did she enjoy being beaten? As the wine travelled through to her belly and spread throughout her limbs, deep into her organs, Mira felt pleasure, pain and desire swirl together; she no longer knew where one stopped and the other started. She forced her eyes away from the guard and tried to focus on finishing her wine. She held her breath as she sipped, but the bitterness still came through. Forcing her throat to stay open, Mira tipped the glass and drank the rest of her wine in one long gulp. She instantly felt the full affects of the wine: she was high, strangely lazy, and acutely horny.
