Hello all, I'm back with number six! I will finish this someday, even if it kills me! Though I sincerely hope it won't come to that...
Once again, all feedback is much appreciated. Do tell me what you think of the story.
And as always, thanks to my wonderful editor moncriefelle.

Perthias shook his head, groggy with sleep. It felt like the insides of his head were filled with cotton wool. He was dazed, disoriented, confused, and...and he didn't even know where he was.
He looked around. This wasn't the castle dungeons. In fact, it wasn't even the castle. He was a completely unfamiliar room, with hanging tapestries and furniture he didn't recognize. Somehow, he had been spirited out of the castle. to someplace else.
"Good morning, Your Highness."
He sprang out of bed (there was a bed? more wonders) to confront the source of the voice, and wasn't entirely surprised to see the hooded figure before him. The same one that had asked for his assistance? It could be—there was no way to tell with them. Each of them (if there was even more than one) looked the same as the other.
"Where am I?" he said. A standard query, maybe, but one that had to be asked.
"The town of Asdale. More precisely, a room in a manor there," replied the figure.
Asdale...Asdale? Where was that? He searched through his memory and all of his vaguely remembered geography lessons. It was somewhere near the borders of Erecia, he was certain. A country town, nothing special about it. Which brought him to his next question, "Why have you brought me here?"
"To free you, of course. We of the resistance always honor our bargains. You are not the planner your sister is. Left to your own devices, you would have rotted in the castle dungeons before we could have included you in our efforts."
Perthias bristled at the comment even as he recognized its veracity. Yes, Daphnia had always been the more resourceful one. Lacking other means of escape, he would probably have languished in the castle dungeons overlong and then been of no use to either himself or his mysterious co-conspirators.
So, they had freed him...after a fashion. But he was still stuck in his sex slave body, and more to the point...
The figure cut in smoothly as if he had read his mind, which it most probably had. "Do not worry, Your Highness. We have located the girl, and she is waiting for you. As I said, we always honor our bargains."
She? She was here? Perthias fought to contain his anticipation (and, if he was being completely honest, his lust) The laughing elfslut who haunted his dreams and fantasies, memories of which even the lustiest of his lovers could do nothing to erase. If she was here, then he would find her, and push her down to the ground, and... wait. The figure had mentioned a bargain, and bargains always had two parts to them.
"What would you have me do?" There was a catch, he was sure. There was always a catch.
"Patience, Your Highness. We would like you to enjoy yourself first before we talk business." The figure gestured to a nearby door. Its intent was clear—the female he sought was beyond that portal, waiting for him.
Perthias nodded and made his way into the other room. Truth to be told, he was in no fit state to talk business in the first place. The mere thought of seeing his blue-skinned beauty again made his heart race and his breeches (if he wore any...) tighten. Any conversations would have to wait until after he had ravished her good and proper.
--
The resistance was as good as its word. There was little else in the other room except a large bed (whose purpose he could guess at quite easily) and her. She was just as he remembered her. The elfin lines of her face, her voluptuous body, her shining mane...everything was just the same.
Could it be? His blue-skinned lover? The elfslut who haunted his fevered dreams of lust? She giggled and walked towards him and he gulped in anticipation. It was. It was she. No other elfslut—nay, no other maiden he had ever laid eyes on—had such winsome eyes, such lustrous azure skin, to say nothing of her ponderous breasts or silver hair. It was her and no other.
He stood there stock-still, unable to move a muscle or utter a single word. But it turned out that he didn't need to—she strolled over as casually as could be and touched her soft palm to his rock-hard chest. He gasped at her touch, stiffening immediately. It had been so long, and he had missed her so much.
The figure had, thankfully, vanished—giving them a little privacy. But politics and bargains were the furthest thing from his mind now. She smiled a brilliant smile and twined herself around him, rubbing her lush curves against his muscled frame. His erection raged mightily now, but he was lost in her sweet caresses and allowed himself to be captured by one deep kiss after another. If he was hungry, then she was playful, darting her tongue in and out of his mouth and moving herself sinuously against him, allowing his hands to roam across the expanse of her body but not much else. He was the one with the physical strength to crush a man's skull with one hand easily, but in this arena, she held all the power.
