Under the glow of the street lights the girl shone like an angel. In her high heeled shoes, and her knee length white skirt. Her top half included a white V-neck shirt with four buttons down the front, three of which were undone; over her shoulders Kira wore a soft white sweater that kept her warm from the chill of the cool April air. Kira continued to rush, her shoes clicking and clacking as she ran, echoing on the deserted street, twenty minutes late already and still four blocks from home. Like this, on any Saturday night, Kira had a very strict curfew which she had now broken for the third week in a row. Though, what more can be expected from an 18 year old. As she got closer and closer to her home she began to think up excuses that would justify her lateness again. She knew that the classic, "the movie ran late, and we lost track of time," wouldn't cut it. She also knew that she couldn't tell her over protective father the truth, that being that she had spent the night on the couch with Brad Stevens, in his empty house making out while some movie, she couldn't even remember the title, played in the background. She certainly couldn't tell her father of how the star forward on the basketball team's hand found its way up her shirt to fondle her tit through her silky white bra for over an hour. A chill ran through her, and Kira found herself chewing on her bottom lip as she remembered the soft feel of Brad's touch through the thin fabric of her bra. Kira felt her nipples tighten and poke through her bra, clearly becoming visible through the white shirt. Kira forced herself back into the present moment as she looked at her surroundings, and then at the silver watch wrapped around her left wrist, she really needed to hurry or she would be grounded next weekend and her date with Brad would be off. In a moment of what seemed like sheer genius, the young girl decided to take a short cut through the park that would lead her to a street less than one block from her home. She was certain it would save time and possibly even save her upcoming date with Brad. She quickly darted into the park, noting that her shoes no longer made a sound on the over grown grass. The young girl was also quick to note that what lighting did exist in the park was either inadequate or broken as she could barely see what dips and peaks were ahead in the landscape as she rushed towards home. Kira was so focused on getting home that she didn't take note of the sound of breaking twigs behind her, she didn't hear the heavy breathing as it got closer, and she didn't even feel the hot breathe on the back of her neck, that is, not until she felt the strong masculine arm wrapping around her waist and the second hand cupping her mouth, preventing her from making any sound louder than a muffled scream. The attacker, a man hidden in the shadows of the dark park, carried the young girl a few feet to her right into an area where they would be hidden even more so by a group of over grown shrubs. When he reached what he determined to be a perfect spot he threw her to the ground and listened as her light body hit the unforgiving grass with a thud. A small yelp escaped Kira's mouth as she traveled through the air. As soon as she hit the ground her eyes immediately closed, part in fear and part in pain due to the strike she suffered to the back of her head. Although she didn't see it, she felt the man get on top of her, quickly covering her mouth before she could call out for help. The man's hand dripped with sweat as he held down the young girl, finally speaking as she opened her blue eyes to find a pair of dark green eyes staring back at her, "This will all be over soon, stay quiet. Understand?" Kira couldn't move her head, the man was holding her too tight to allow that, but her eyes showed the man fear, enough fear that he knew she understood. Next, Kira heard the sound of duct tape being pulled from the roll, the sound echoed in the secluded park and Kira lay still under her attacker as he removed his hand from her mouth and replaced it with a large piece of duct tape. Next the man's sweaty hands found hers and raised them high above her head. He tightly grabbed her small wrists in one hand and using the duct tape, he began to tie her wrists together with the silvery adhesive. A small chuckle escaped the man's lips as he admired his handy work. In response Kira looked up at him, tears welling in her young eyes, begging for release. In the darkness of the park Kira could see very little of the man, it seemed as if he was a shadow, the only parts of him she could see clearly were his emerald green eyes and the short brownish hair atop his head. Kira kept her eyes closed the majority of the time, almost as if silently wishing she was some place else, anywhere else. It was because her eyes were closed that she didn't see the knife as the man pulled it from his pants, she didn't see the silver handle, or the shining steel blade as he opened it, and she only felt its cold unforgiving touch as he pressed it to her neck. "Stay still and you won't get hurt," he said simply, his voice calm and even. The young girl felt as though her body was on fire as she felt the knife against her neck, she couldn't explain why, but it was like a rush of adrenaline through her veins despite the fact that she had never been so scared in her life. The blade moved slowly across Kira's neck, not cutting, just playing and teasing the skin. The blade moved to her throat and slowly began to venture downward, towards her cleavage. Ignoring the sweater that hung over her shoulders the man cut a single, long thin line down the front of Kira's shirt, slicing it slowly into two pieces. The duct tape muffled Kira's screams as she felt the knife against her chest; it also restrained her arms, which the man still held above her head. As she struggled against him, he kissed her softly on the forehead and pulled the shirt off in pieces tossing them aside into the shrubs. Kira felt the cool night air against her stomach and chest, and began to panic some more, struggling unsuccessfully against the tape and the man, "Shhhh," he calmed her, "relax... shhh." Kira didn't know why but strangely, she felt calmed by the man's voice and she stopped struggling and remained frozen under him, her eyes closed. She could hear the man's heavy breathing as he sat over her, and then she felt the touch of the knife again, this time teasing her cleavage slowly, and nipples through the bra she wore. Kira was horrified when she felt her nipples harden, much like they did when Brad touched them. She lay silent, her face burning red in the darkness as she felt a hand teasing her sensitive tips. It wasn't long before the man put his whole hand on Kira's right breast and began to fondle it more lewdly. Slowly he squeezed and molded the creamy flesh with his fingers; this lasted several long minutes before the hand switched to the left breast and gave it the same treatment. It was only after all this that the man slide the sharp edge of the knife down the front of Kira's bra splitting it like a ripe piece of fruit into two pieces, exposing her hot young C-cups to the man. Still with her eyes closed, she heard the audible moan of the man as he exposed her breasts. By this time she had stopped struggling against him, letting him hold her wrists. She had resigned herself to the fact that she could not escape, because of this she lay frozen with her eyes closed, waiting for it to be over. With his free hand the man tweaked and pulled on Kira's nipples, each in turn, he teased them and rolled them against his callused fingers for long moments, which caused Kira to cry out against the tape. It embarrassed Kira that the touch actually felt good but she tried to ignore it as she lay motionless in the grass. Her mind was in another place, keeping her safe from what was happening to her, that is until she felt the man's warm mouth against her right breast kissing and sucking at her erect nipple. Kira had never before let a man suck her nipples and her face reddened as she realized this man, this stranger in the dark, would be her first. The man feasted on her breasts in a manner that seemed more tender than his previous contacts. His kisses were light and his mouth was hot as he used his tongue against her left nipple, feeling it throb as he surrounded it with his lips and saliva. The whole time the man kissed and mouthed her breasts Kira's eyes were wide, staring at the brown haired man as he worked, she even lifted her head off the grass to get a better view of him, but saw very little other than the top of his head. The man stopped his oral assault and looked at the girl, her face was flushed, the look in her eyes was mixed as she looked back at him, he leaned close to her right ear and whispered, "Lay back and enjoy..." Kira laid her head back against the grass but kept her eyes open now, looking up at the pitch black sky, she did not struggle against the man as she felt his free hand reach the hem of her skirt and hike it up. He pulled the white fabric up high to her waist and bunched it up there, showing off the barely-there white thong that Kira had chosen to wear for her date with Brad. The Victoria Secret creation hardly covered Kira's young hairless twat. Again, the man chuckled to himself and licked his lips as he held Kira's wrists in one hand and the knife in the other, he slowly slide the flat side of the knife against her pussy and watched the girl shiver in response. The thong was made of very little material so it only took a moment for him to cut the band holding it all together. He watched as they fell away from the girl's body putting her bald pussy on display. Kira's face burned fire engine red as she realized what had happened, no one outside her family and the girl's locker room had ever seen her naked and now this man had exposed her in public. She felt a surge in her body she couldn't explain, it ran from the tips of her fingers to the tips of her toes and back again, she wasn't sure what it was, but she was certain she had never felt it before. With her eyes closed again, Kira silently scolded herself as she felt her tight nipples and slightly leaking pussy. The man moved slowly, keeping his right hand on Kira's wrists to prevent her from trying to escape, with his free hand the man began to open his pants, in the silence of the night Kira clearly heard the popping of the button and the lowering of the zipper, in a strange way she had to admit, it aroused her. The man fidgeted slowly and lowered his pants, groaning as he took his cock in his free hand and stroked it twice, feeling it's hardness before pressing the throbbing purple head against the lips of Kira's young damp opening. The man laughed out loud more openly now as he felt the smoothness and wetness of the young girl, he spoke clearly and softly, kissing Kira's neck as he said, "You like this don't you baby doll." He laughed as she tried to answer, the tape muffling her reply. It was at this time that the man decided to take what he wanted; he pressed his cock against Kira's opening, and slipped it inside. It was the tightest he had ever felt. He felt her moist hole wrapping around his girth. He groaned lewdly and put his hands on Kira's tight ass as he held her off the grass slightly groping and scratching her ass as he inched himself in further. As the man buried each inch into Kira he rocked his hips slightly and savored the feeling before going deeper. As for Kira she was divided about how she felt, while on one hand she was disgusted by the man atop her, using her body for his own pleasure and stealing her innocence, on the other hand she felt pleasure from the way the man touched her, and used her. It was the first cock she had ever felt, and this man was the first to ever touch her pussy. She lifted her head to try and see what was happening but was only able to see the man between her legs his cock slowly sliding into her, his head thrown back in some sort of perverted ecstasy as he took her body. It was at this time that the man felt Kira's virginity pressing against the head of his cock, her cherry still intact. He looked down at the young girl, his green eyes sparkling with possibility, "Are you a virgin?" Kira nodded as best she could given her situation and looked up at the man, "Yes," she clearly mumbled against the tape. The man rocked his hips a few more times, lightly and gently before withdrawing his throbbing shaft completely. He looked down at Kira and spoke in a normal tone now, "The park is no place for a young girl to lose her virginity. Let's go home." Kira was stunned by the man's comments and watched as he kept his right hand on her wrists and then used his left to pull up his pants and fastened them. With his pants in place and a throbbing bulge clearly visible in his pants he released Kira's wrists for the first time since he taped them. Despite the freedom to move her arms, she lay still. The man pulled more duct tape from the roll and used it to fasten Kira's ankles together much the same way he had fastened her wrists. With her legs bound together, he took one last fleeting look at the young virgin cunt and pulled her skirt down, covering her once again. The man stood his legs on either side of his victim; he reached down and picked up his knife tucking it back into his pocket. Then he picked up young Kira, carrying her in his arms like a newly wed. Ignoring the scraps of clothes and the remainder of the tape he was leaving behind the man quickly walked with the half nude girl in his arms, through the park, away from her house and towards his waiting car. Kira still did not know what to think as the man took her away, he spoke to her calmly as they got closer to the road on the far side of the park, "It was going to be a one time thing baby girl, but you are too good for that. I'm going to take you home," there was a pause before he added, "and keep you." Captive Ch. 01 Captive is a story set in roughly 500 AD Great Brittan. The story itself is fiction and contains a made up race of furry people known as the Cat People. The story, also, weaves elements of BDSM, Gorean, and sex. * i awoke to the sound of a metal door closing. i was rather startled because it wasn't a sound that i was expecting. i stretched my hand and my arm hit a metal bar. i stretched my leg and it also hit a metal bar. i jumped quickly to my feet and soon realized that was a mistake to do. i sat myself back down on the ground and let my head rest upon my knee. i rubbed the back of my head and felt a small bump there. i looked around my surroundings and quickly found that i was in a cage no bigger than the root cellar. i cleared my throat and let out a meow. i could only think that perhaps i had done something to displease Master and his servants had gotten a tad rough in putting me in this cage. It wasn't the first time that Master had me caged upon a whim of His. my meow was soon answered by some scuffling feet behind the metal door. i turned toward the door way when it opened. A Man appeared that i was not familiar with. This did not bode well with me. Who was this Man and what was going on? i realized that if i was patient enough all of my questions would be answered. "Well now if it isn't the pretty kitty finally awake. I hope that My men didn't hurt you too badly in the scuffle. I do apologize for that bump on your head. It was not My intent for them to have knocked you unconscious. I couldn't have you tearing my men apart with those sharp nails of yours. I dare say one of the lads will be steering clear of you for a while. I have had those nails of yours trimmed. " The Man walked from the door way and stood by the cage door. He was tall with dark flaxen hair, a chiseled jaw, and his clothing was snug across his body's contours. i couldn't help but notice. The smell about this Man was one of power and of...well i couldn't quite place my finger on it yet. He reached inside the cage and tried to touch me. i scooted back to the corner of the cage not wanting Him to touch me. My tail twitched around me as i appraised the situation. i kept waiting for Him to speak and to let me know what was going on. As the moments passed, i was getting angrier. This Man was not one of my Master's men. What right did He have to hold me in this cage? "Don't go getting your tail in a bunch pretty kitty. I will hold you until I am paid what I am owed. I will treat you well and make sure you are well fed. If you can agree to be a good kitty I might even see fit to let you out of that cage. A good little kitty gets to wander around My home as a guest instead of a prisoner." i simply glared at Him. Who was i to be held for ransom? i was just a slave in my Master's home. i guessed the Man before me knew that but i was thinking that He would need a reminder of it. i lunged at the cage's bars and He took a few steps back wards. i guess He wasn't expecting me to rush at the bars. "Why do You hold me here? i am just a slave in my Master's home. i am not worth any ransom You might be seeking. i couldn't possibly have any true monetary value to You or my Master. Please, Sir, please let me go and show that me that You have a heart. i will not cause You any troubles. i will tell no one that You have done this dastardly deed." The Man chuckled at me. He stared as if He was accessing my worth. i wasn't always a good kitty. i could always simply say that i managed to escape my captures as they slept. i could deny seeing the faces of those who captured me. What i wanted most of all at that moment was to be safe at home once more. "Pretty kitty, I am amazed that you do not know who you are. Do you not know not know who you truly are?" i growled at the Man for thinking He could tell me who i was. i knew who i was. i was my Master's personal slave. i did everything for Him. Then i began to realize that being what i was to Master perhaps made me valuable to His enemies. i knew the dealings that Master was into and the secrets He kept from the rest of the world. i swallowed hard not wanting to truly admit my worth for there was danger in doing so. The Man stepped toward the cage's door and turned the key in the lock. i wanted to lunge for Him when He opened the cage up but a part of me sat there frozen. He finally spoke and i regained a bit of my senses. Just something about His proximity to me made a place inside want to be good and obey any thing He would ask of me. "It is okay kitty. I need to check that bump on your head. I am truly sorry that it came to that. Now come here pretty kitty so I may look at you. Stand still before Me so that i may inspect your head." i start to back even further against the back of the cage as He closed the door behind Him. A part of me doesn't want for Him to touch me. Afraid of what just His touch might do to me. He soothed me with a soft melodic hum as He approached me. The hum reminded me of a lullaby i had heard when i needed to be soothed. Before i know it He has his arms around me drawing me into His arms. He pulled me close to Him and tilted my head in His hands. i feel His hands inspecting the bump on my head and He asked me several questions. i wanted to be believe that He was just pretending to care for my well being since i was after all collateral of His ransom. Something about Him though said that He truly wanted to make sure that i was all right. He tugged me a bit closer to Him still. He ran His hands down my arms from the shoulder. i felt Him quickly bind my hands together with some silken rope. i was taken a bit off guard by this and tried to wiggle away from Him. He grinned at me softly before He began to speak to me once again. "you need not fear Me kitty. I simply wish to see what it is that your Master sees in you. Why you are prized above all of His other slaves? Do not fight Me on this for you will lose. Simply enjoy that which I will do. Remember what I have said about good behavior kitty." He leaned in and softly nipped at the nape of my neck. i bite my tongue to stifle any noise i might have otherwise utter. i didn't want to give this Man the satisfaction of my voice. With one hand, He pulled me against His chest and my hands become trapped between U/us. i am unable to grab a hold of any thing that might potentially hurt Him. He runs His hands over my fur. i feel His breath against my neck as His hand brushes lightly over my groin. i try really hard not to give Him any kind of reaction to His wandering hands. He takes it to mean that He can go farther in His exploration of my body. He pushes my bottoms to the side where it meets between my legs. He quickly slides His hand between my nether lips and flicks His fingers over my clit. He undoes the ties of my bottoms and lets it fall to the floor. He spreads my legs a bit and slides two fingers into my pussy. His thumb massages my clit. My body betrays me and i arch towards His touch. A soft moan escapes my lips as continues His touching. i wiggle my body against Him. He chuckles at me and tells me that in due time i will know more of Him. He whispers into my ear and tells me that this moment will only end when i cum on his fingers. It doesn't take much more urging from His fingers for me to cum for Him. i give myself over to the pleasure He is giving me. Before He releases me from the bindings and lets go of me, He undoes the ties of my top. He picks both items up from the ground and informs me that i will not be wearing them from now on. He tells me that they will be cleaned and possibly returned to me at some point. i hiss a bit at Him for taking my clothes from me, but realize that there really isn't anything that i can do about it. i am at the mercy of His whims. He smirks at me for hissing at Him. He slowly undoes my hands and back towards the cage door. He knew well enough not to turn His back on this kitty. He may have touched me but that is a long ways away from taming me. He opened the cage door quickly and stepped out of it. He closed the door tightly behind Him and look at me carefully once He is back on the other side of the bars. "Get used to these bars My pretty kitty. I have a feeling that it is going to be a while for you to accept that fact that you aren't going any where any time soon. you may as well get used to how I do things. None of my men will bother you. They don't want to feel your claws in their balls." i simply glared at Him for making such a statement to me. i did not want to stay in this place. i wanted to go home to my Master. i continued to glare at the Man until He was about to leave the room. He turned around for a moment and looked at me. He looked into my eyes deeply as if reading my very soul. "Please do not turn this into a battle of wills for you will not win. I know that you can not fathom why you are of importance to My plans but in good time it will be reviled to you. you are a well trained slave and do your Master honor in not disgracing yourself. At the moment, you are what one would call spoils of war...and Mine to use as I see fit. I will see about having food and a blanket brought to you. I am not a cruel man. If you wish a name in which to despise Me with...Lord Elrik will suffice for now." With those words spoken He left the room and the metal door closed behind Him. i sat down in a corner of the my cage and rested my head in my hands. my head was hurting a bit but i know that in time that shall pass. Upon hearing that name i knew that i was now the prisoner of my Master's enemy. i could not believe my ill luck. Some time passed and sure enough food and even a few blankets were brought to me. i made a make shift bed knowing that i wouldn't be leaving this cage any time soon. i even inquired about getting something for my headache and was told it would be asked about. The guard was polite enough even though he looked and carried himself around me that said he did not trust me. When the guard left, i sat down to feast upon the cheese and fruit. i sniffed at the drink that was also on the tray. It smelled of a sweet honey mead. i drank it down in a few gulps knowing that its alcohol content would help me to sleep. It would do nothing for my headache but at least while asleep i would not care if my head was pounding. Soon enough i grew sleepy and crawled beneath the covers of my bed. My thoughts drifted to what had taken place here in my cage earlier and it began to make me wet. Try as i might, i couldn't help but be upset over my body's betrayal. Until today my Master had been the only Man to have ever touched me in such a manner in a good many years. i was trying to be a good slave and not touch myself at the thoughts that i was having but i could not help myself. Just as i had begun to caress my clit with my fingers the door to the room swung open with a loud bang. In strode my captor and He made His way to me quite quickly. i pulled the covers tight to my body as i backed into the corner of my bed. The cage door was thrown open and quickly shut behind Him. His eyes soon found me in the corner that i was trying to hide in. The distance between U/us was quickly closed and soon i could feel Him pulling me into His strong arms. Once again He bound my hands. He crushed my lips with His as He sought to taste of my mouth. His tongue tasted of the same mead i had partaken of earlier myself. There was little doubt that the Lord was a wee bit randy from His drink. A small blush crossed my face as i felt His body rubbing against mine. His hands roamed freely over my body, and rested upon my breasts for a bit. He pulled and tugged upon my nipples. He seemed to be quite an expert at what He was doing to my body. i could feel Him undoing the laces of his pants since He had me pressed so close against Him. my head was swimming a bit in emotion and feeling. i heard his pants fall to the floor and felt myself being lifted and spun around. He placed my legs about His hips and my back softly against one of the solid walls of the cage. He wasted little time on preliminaries and i was soon impaled upon His hard cock. He kept bringing my lips to His and crushing me with the intensity of them. This was a Man intent on seeing that despite His need that pleasure was to be found in His actions. i would not have thought that the Lord would have been without company considering the servants i had seen earlier. my thoughts were quickly brought back to Lord's attentions upon me. He pounded His cock in and out of my pussy. i was thankful that i was all ready wet when His fun began or surely i would be a wee bit sore when O/our fun was over. Even in the power of His taking me there was a gentleness to it. i couldn't help but moan from His workings upon my body. i couldn't rake my claws down His back to show my appreciation towards His attentions so i gripped Him a bit more tightly about the hips. He reached to loosen my grip a bit and slipped a hand between U/us to softly rub my clit between His fingers. He whispered in my ear. "Oh yes, you are Mine now pretty kitty. Your Master has refused to pay the ransom. He says that He will not pay ransom for a mere slave. It is his loss...My gain. You will be My sinful creature....My slave. you are Mine kitty." At those words, i became angry at Him. i didn't want to believe that i was being cast away so easily. i was everything in my mind to my Master. Who was He going to get to rub His feet, to bathe Him, and to look over the various documents He received when His eyes began to blur? i tried to wrench myself away from the Lord but it was no use. He held me tight to Him. His fingers were still playing upon my clit and His cock was still moving inside of me. "Beast, please have a care for I do not wish to harm you. I know that such news is unsettling but its better to find out now rather than later. I will take care of you and make sure that you have your heart's desire. In the morning, I will have you moved to your new quarters. I will not have you stay in this cage like some animal. you will live with me and be My slave." i struggled against Him a bit upon hearing those words. i didn't want to be staying here. i wanted to return to the only home i had ever known.. i struggled against Him wanting to be set free. He tried to calm me in my struggle and soon found the one spot upon my neck that makes me go weak in need of something or someone. That one spot always calmed the beast in me. "I know that this news is distressing and not what you wanted to hear My sinful beast. Please let U/us make the best of this situation. Allow Me to calm you in my embrace so that I might bring you a bit of delight in you anguish. Allow Me be your Master. Let Me show you what a good Master really is. I know that you all ready feel a pull to me. Let your heart follow what your mind and body all ready knows. You are Mine kitty." i knew that i would be unable to change my circumstances that night or perhaps for several more to come. So i simply gave myself over to the moment. i settled against Him and let Him enjoy my body. i didn't want to let on that i was enjoying this, but i suspected He knew from how i was gripping His cock inside my pussy. my body was dripping its wetness upon His cock. He showered my lips once again with kisses. He thrust into my pussy again and again trying to draw a moan from my lips once again. It didn't take long for Him to get just that when His finger returned to flicking my clit. i become a shuddering heap in His embrace. i whimpered at Him a bit and moved my hips to indicate my need. He simply chuckled at me and tells me that i am to beg if i want to cum. And so ends Chapter One... Captive Ch. 02 Thank you so much for all your feedback from Chapter 1, I hope you enjoy Chapter 2. Feedback is always welcome, and as always, all characters are over 18. ~K * The air was cool against Kira's breasts as the man carried her away, both her wrists and her ankles burned from the friction of the tape against her creamy, silky skin. The man didn't speak as he carried her with ease away from her home, away from the life she knew, and towards the street on the far side of the park. Kira saw a metallic blue SUV in the distance, getting closer and closer as he carried her from the park; she quickly realized it was their destination. When they finally reached the truck Kira's nipples were like diamonds, she tried to convince herself that it was due to the cold April wind, but even she didn't believe that to be true. Kira took note that the man had parked under a broken street light, further shielding himself from onlookers. The man looked up and down the street, making sure it was clear before stepping off the grass, down the curb and beside the truck. The truck's back was unlocked which meant that the man did not need his keys. In one motion, he threw her over his right shoulder, as if he was carrying a sack of potatoes. Kira couldn't help but yelp against the tape as he flung her like a rag doll. With his left hand now free, he opened the hatch and threw the young girl into the back of the truck. He said nothing to her as he slammed the back of the truck shut and quickly moved along the driver's side. Once the man was in the truck he was quick to start it, turning on the heat to warm himself from the April breeze outside. The radio wasn't on and the internal lights were too dim for Kira to see anything of use, instead she just lay in the back of the truck, waiting. When the truck started to move Kira began to make noise, struggling against the tape that bound her so well, she failed to make progress in weakening the tape and gave up trying less than three blocks from the park. Despite the noise she made in the back, the man did not in any way acknowledge her presence. With tears rolling down her cheeks the scared girl decided to stop struggling, she cried softly in the back of the truck, her mind racing with the horrible thoughts of the things this man might do to her. She whimpered against the tape as she considered the possibility the man would kill her, ending her life. At this time the man finally began to speak, as always he was confident and calm, as if he was doing nothing out of the ordinary, "Don't cry baby, it will be okay. I am going to take you home and take care of you properly. You just lay back and be quiet, I will take care of everything." As the man reassured her with his words, Kira couldn't help but listen, his voice somehow soothed her. When the man noticed that Kira had seemed to stop crying he spoke again, "You be a good girl and I will take care of you the way I know you want and need." The tears rolled down to the tape covering her mouth, and to her chin. When the vehicle finally came to a stop Kira blinked back the tears and vowed to be strong, a silent promise she made to herself. As for the man, he reached above his head and pressed a small red button which opened the garage door before him. He slowly drove the SUV into the large garage and Kira listened to the sound of the door closing behind her, locking her in. Once they were in the garage, the man quickly exited the vehicle and moved around to the back. He opened the hatch and with a smile on his face, looked down at the young girl. Kira looked up at him, her tears having stopped now and dried on her cheeks. She lay there bound by duct tape and gagged and although she couldn't explain why, she felt a strange calm come over her. The man grabbed her again and threw her over his right shoulder, carrying her more like a gym bag than a human girl. He slammed the hatch down with his free hand and headed towards the house. The man spoke slowly, each word separated by a step, getting them closer to the door, "Be a good girl and this will be very easy on both of us." The man reached the door and used a key from deep in his pocket to open it. He kicked the door open with his foot and entered, carrying Kira with him. Once inside the man dropped Kira as easily as he picked her up, her young body bouncing slightly against the hard wood floor of the entry way. Kira yelled out against the tape in pain, her right side instantly beginning to bruise from the force of the drop. With Kira bound helpless on the floor the man stood over her, a sinister look on his face. Kira looked up at him and for the first time got a view of her attacker, it was not what she expected. Standing before her was a young man in his mid twenties; he had dark brown hair with dark green eyes and a cute face. He was wearing a pair of jeans and a plain grey t-shirt, along with a pair of Nike sneakers. As Kira looked at him she couldn't help but notice his muscular body, which helped explain to the girl how he had man-handled her so easily. The man knelt down and stroked Kira's hair, combing the golden locks with his fingers, "Why don't we go upstairs and get comfortable baby. I think we can have some fun." The man licked his lips and shifted slightly as he spoke, his mind clearly racing with possibilities, a bulge still ever present in the front of his pants. The man leaned close enough to Kira's ear to whisper, his hot breathe and the tip of his tongue often making contact with her ear as he spoke, "These walls are sound proof, no-one will hear you scream. You will never be able to run away either, but if you try I will have to hurt you. I don't want to, but I will." As the man spoke Kira listened intently, for some reason compelled to believe everything he was saying without a single doubt. "If I take the tape off, will you be a good girl?" Kira nodded quickly, enthusiastically, her way of begging for the ability to speak again, she looked up at the man, her ocean blue eyes blinking back tears. The man reached into his pocket and pulled out the knife he had hidden there. Kira's eyes focused on the weapon and she was unable to look away, fascinated by the way it glowed in the dim light. With a few well placed flicks of his wrist the man made short work of the ties that bound Kira, slicing them and freeing the young girl. Despite being free, Kira did not move, she laid frozen in the same position as the man pulled the tape from her mouth. He kissed her forehead after he did so and spoke, "Does that feel better baby girl?" Kira smiled at her captor slightly as he spoke, she decided politeness was the best approach and spoke softly, almost in a nearly inaudible whisper, "Y..yes.... tha...thank you." The man reached held the knife in his right hand and reached down with his left, grabbing a handful of Kira's hair and pulling the young girl to her feet. As she stood on the hardwood floor, it was the first time Kira realized she had lost her left shoe sometime during the ordeal with the man. She wasn't sure exactly when but as she stood, she was lop-sided, a few inches higher on the right. The man looked his victim up and down, he took a few long moments to admire her perfectly shaped C-cup tits and licked his lips as he saw her erect nipples, he kept his hand in her hair as he spoke, "Take off your shoe, and when you address me, you will call me Sir. Do you understand?" "Yes" whispered Kira, wincing in the slight pain of having her hair pulled, "...Sir," she added. The young girl stepped out of her heeled shoe and stood barefoot on the hardwood floor. The man took position behind Kira and she felt the now familiar feeling of the cold steel of the knife against her skin, "Walk up the stairs, go slow, don't get too far ahead of me." Kira nodded almost without realizing she was doing it and swallowed hard before slowly beginning to walk ahead of the man and his knife. She slowly walked down the hall and quickly found a staircase leading up. She felt a gentle nudge from the man behind her and took that as a sign, so she began to climb the stairs. Kira felt a surge of energy rush through her body as she climbed the stairs, there was something about following this man's orders that made her feel funny, her stomach turned and her knees felt weak, her eyes glassed over and her skin flushed, it was as if she wasn't herself. As Kira reached the top of the steps she could feel the man's eyes on her skirt covered ass, in a move that she couldn't justify or even understand herself, she slowly began to rock her hips, putting an extra little wiggle in her ass for the watching man. She scolded herself for doing so and wondered why she felt the way she did, "I should hate him, I should hate this..." she kept telling herself. The knife slowly slid up Kira's neck until it was behind her left ear, his mouth was close too, "First door on your right." Again, Kira felt compelled to follow the command without a doubt or question. She entered the room and looked around: the room was quite a sight, it contained brown oak furniture that all appeared to be from a matching set. Along the right wall sat a bureau with a long mirror as well as a cabinet with three drawers. Kira noted that each drawer had a key hole and was closed. Along the left wall there was a pair of doors, each was closed. Kira wondered what was behind them, but at this point she dare not ask. The most eye drawing piece in the room was definitely the bed; it occupied the middle of the room and instantly demanded the attention of anyone who entered. It was a large four post bed, with a thick King sized mattress as well as comfortable looking pillows and blankets. To the right of the bed there was a small night stand with a drawer and space for storage below. Kira stood frozen in the doorway drinking in the room before her, but slight movement of the knife against her neck brought her back to reality, "Go sit on the bed," the man commanded. For the first time the man stayed a few steps behind Kira, letting her complete the task demanded of her without the knife against her skin. Once she was sitting the man waited for their eyes to meet and then spoke, "As you can see, there are no windows, there is no escape from this room, so it would be useless to try, likewise it is sound proof so anything you say in here will never be heard by anyone except you and me. Let's not make this harder than it has to be bitch." That being said the man stepped into the room and closed the door behind him. He turned his back to Kira briefly and punched a few digits on a small keypad next to the door, an automated voice spoke to the occupants of the room, "Locked" it said. At that moment Kira realized that she was trapped with this man, she watched as he turned back to her and smiled. He walked to her and licked his lips as he got closer, stopping only when he was inches from her on the bed. He leaned down and kissed her on the mouth for the first time, a soft passionate kiss, in which he used his tongue to pry open her lips. He slid his tongue into her mouth and dueled with hers playfully. The young girl stayed still as her older attacker kissed her, she briefly considered the option of biting his tongue as it entered her mouth but decided against it as she remembered how she was locked with him in such a small space. In a few moments, the kiss was over. The man stepped back slightly and put away the knife. He looked at the beautiful girl before him, she truly was a sexy young woman and he knew it, he took every chance he could to just stare at her, taking mental pictures of her body so he could recall them later. Suddenly the man got tired of waiting, deciding that now was the right time; he took Kira by the hair and pulled backwards, forcing her to lie back on the bed. The man moved around the bed slightly and took hold of Kira's wrists in his right hand, much like had earlier that night in the park. With his free hand he pulled open the nightstand and removed a length of rope, it was coarse and thick, definitely strong enough to restrain the small girl. The man released her wrists and ran the rope playfully through his fingers as he spoke, "Get up on your hands and knees, and face the head board." Kira blushed red as she followed the command, she could feel herself getting aroused by this man and didn't know why, there was just something about him. She rolled herself over and without any delay pulled herself up onto her hands and knees as she was told. She stared at the white painted wall in front of her and dared not to move. She felt the mattress shift under her as the man leaned on it, she maintained the same position. She felt the rough rope wrap around her mid section, just below her belly button, the man wrapped it tight and gave a tug for good measure which solicited a small yelp from Kira. Next the man wound one end of the rope towards the headboard and wrapped it around Kira's right wrist before securing it to the post of the head board. The second end of the rope was then used in a similar fashion to secure Kira's left wrist. Once this was completed the kidnapper pulled on each of Kira's arms, testing the binds, and finding them to be strong and secure. Next, the man reached across the bed and grabbed a large fluffy pillow, and quickly removed it from the case and tossed it onto the floor. Holding the silk pillow case in his hand the man placed it over Kira's head and blinded her, forcing her into a world of darkness. Once he pulled the pillow case down over her face he whispered to her, "We are going to enjoy this." The man stood next to the bed and removed his shirt, tossing it aside as he had done the pillow. His shoes were quick to follow as he kicked them off towards the corner of the room. As he unbuttoned and unzipped his pants the man made certain Kira heard and he slowly slid them down and kicking them off. He was now nude. As Kira heard the zipper lower she felt her nipples tighten even more, they now ached as she kneeled there, posed on the bed. Her pussy leaked lightly as she remembered the feel of this man's cock touching her earlier in the park. At that moment she was glad the pillow case was over her face, as she was blushing crimson. The man climbed up on the bed and Kira felt the mattress shifting below her, she remained still none the less and soon felt the man's large masculine hands on her round ass cheeks. The man made short work of Kira's white skirt, pulling it off her body in a single motion, actually tearing the fabric. Now with both Kira and the man naked, the man continued to slowly massage Kira's round ass, using his hands and nails to play against the white skin. The massage then began to rise, up Kira's back and then down her sides, brushing against the sides of her breasts slightly and causing a slight shift in her position on the bed. The man reached under the young girl before him and fully grasped a tit in each hand. He squeezed them hard and listened in delight as Kira moaned out into the pillow case covering her face. He felt her nipples tighten by the touch of his fingers and he laughed, "You like that don't you baby doll?" When he didn't get an answer, he didn't push the question further. He continued to lewdly grope and fondle Kira's young dangling tits, pulling her nipples until the bases turned white with strain. Each time the man was able to earn a grunt, a groan, or even a moan from Kira's covered face he considered it a victory and his cock twitched between his legs as a result. He reluctantly left her tits and returned his touch to her sexy ass, grabbing and pulling the cheeks apart to admire the sweet asshole hidden there, he didn't touch it, it wasn't the time for that, what it was time for, he decided, was to make this girl a woman. Kira didn't know what the man behind her was thinking, she couldn't see anything, couldn't prepare herself. Unbeknownst to her, the man held his throbbing, leaking cock and pointed it in the direction of her sopping cunt. The man used his right hand to pump his prick, the pre-cum seeping from the tip providing lubricant. He groaned under his breath at the pleasure three simple strokes provided and then he ran the tip of his cock along Kira's bald little twat lips. It had been well over a minute since Kira had felt any contact from the man and was shocked when what she did feel was the tip of his cock so close to her aching opening. She couldn't deny it, although she tried, she was horny. She didn't want to be, she wanted to be repulsed and angry but her body betrayed her, and wordlessly she felt herself getting more and more aroused as he touched her. She tried to rationalize her hard nipples, her aching body, and her oozing cunt, telling herself that her hormones were running wild and that she was too young to control her reactions to sexual contact, but those excuses were for the benefit of her brain, her body knew better. Whether she was ready to admit it or not, she wanted it. The man slowly traced the length of Kira's lips with his cock and he smiled at the feeling of her wetness against his tip. He slowly entered her from behind, his right hand on the small of her back, his left playing in her golden mane of hair, his hand up inside the pillow case. As he pushed the second inch into her tight virgin opening he gave her hair a pull, the result was a yelp from the girl during which she pushed back with her bound body as best she could, trying to feel the man's cock deeper in her moist pussy hole. The man felt the proof Kira's virginity and rocked his hips gently against it, nearly exploding as his mind reeled with the fact that he was about to take her, and by knowing that she will always remember him, as her first. "Ready baby doll" he said, giving her hair another tug. The man didn't wait for an answer, because truly, he did not care what she said, instead he lowered his hands to her hips, and he waited for a long moment before proceeding. In one fluid movement he pulled back on her hips hard, causing rope burn on the girl's wrists and stomach. At the same time that he pulled her back (as far as the ropes would allow) he thrust his hips forward. The combination of these movements tore through Kira's cherry easily, and she screamed out in pain as he took her. The man thought her pussy was tight before, but deep inside, past her cherry, in the warm depths of her body, Kira was tighter than he ever could have imagined. He stayed still for a few seconds and let her body adjust to the feeling of his cock impaling her. As he stayed inside her he heard the soft moans of a girl in pain and he gently stroked her bare back, rubbing it gently, "Shhhhh... It's ok... the worst is over now" he assured her, "It's going to feel so much better now." Kira's eyes burned from the tears and she blinked hard to try and force them back. Slowly the pain began to fade and Kira started to feel, as the man promised, the pleasure of having a cock buried deep inside her. Her body betrayed her further as she got wetter and wetter, her cunt squeezing the cock and soaking it. When the first moan escaped her lips the man couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Good girl," he said as he began to rock his hips, getting a little deeper each time. Kira began to chew on the pillow case covering her face, using it as she tried to force herself not to like what was happening to her. By this time, the man was again moving at full force, pounding his cock in and out of her with intensity. He pumped away at her, listening to the sounds of their sweaty bodies smacking together in the room. His left hand returned to her hair, up under the pillow case and he pulled hard, forcing her to open her mouth and spit out the pillow case she had been holding. At the same time he reached under and pulled hard on her right nipple, while of course keeping up with wild pace with which his cock was fucking her. This caused Kira to scream out louder than ever before, "Oh God!" she cried. Captive Ch. 02 i glare at Him a bit because the only man i have ever begged for anything from was my Master. Now this Lord who i didn't know expected to simply take over being my Master. Worse yet He was making me beg. i growled at the thoughts in my head, but what i really wanted and needed right now was release. His cock in me had me on set my body on fire. i knew that it was consuming me and i desired end result. i wet my lips and tried to find my voice. i was not sure of what i would say but i was going to go with the respect and decorum i have been trained to give. A part of me was curious about this Lord, but if i was to make it back to my Master i was going to have to play along for now. "Please M'Lord let me cum for You. Allow this humble beast to show You what You have done to her body." i was hoping that those words of flattery would get me what i so desired. my body was poised on the verge of release and it was not easy to hold back. i tried to move my body to get what i so wanted without His permission. He sensed what i was trying to do and He stilled my body over His cock. He looked at me as if pondering of my words. In reality, He was gauging just how much more teasing i could take before there was a point of no return. His eyes looked into mine and saw the desire He had created within me. He chuckled softly at me and said this to me. "Come on you sinful beast...you can do far better than that. Surely you have begged before. I do not think your Master would have allowed you release for such a pittance of words. Do not flatter Me with pretty words. Tell Me why I should let you cum." i bit back the anger that i felt at how He dared to speak to me. i was not his servant to order about. A part of me was thinking how dare He order me to beg like this. I grumbled aloud some more as i pondered what it was i was going to do. my body was on fire with need. i knew i was at the point where it would ache for me not to have release. i had all ready suffered enough and didn't want to suffer any more this day. i fought a bit within myself and regained my trained composure. i think i knew deep down that He was treating me like He would any other submissive. i knew that within me was the desire to serve. i took a deep breathe and spoke to Him again. "M'Lord, please i beg of You. Please allow this sinful creature to cum for You. You have awakened my passion so deeply that if i am not allowed to have this release i am sure that i will ache from Your attentions. Please M'Lord, let me cum." "That is better but still...not good enough." He chortled at me upon hearing my latest words. i know you can do even better that that, and it was very obvious that He knew it as well. He reached down and pinched me on my clit bringing a moan from my lips as He did. This was sweet torment to me and i knew this was a man determined to find all of the spots that would push me even closer to the edge before permission was granted. "I could torment you like this all night My dear and not feel poorly about it. I do love to tease and torment such lovely creatures such as your self. Say the phrase that I know you want to say to Me. Say it out loud and pleasure will be yours to have" i strained to escape His fingers pinching at my clit. Now this was torture of another kind. He was quite skilled in this art. i didn't have to ask what phrase He wished to hear uttered from my lips. i, also, knew that in saying what He wished to hear would mean never returning home again. i knew deep down that it would be so regardless of the words i was to speak. Would it really be so bad to be Someone else's pleasure slave? my body knew the answer more than my brain at that moment. i would forever crave this Man's touch. There was something about this Lord that called out to the very core of my being. i knew that what i was about to speak would not be a lie. "Please M'Lord...please let this sinful creature come for You. This beast acknowledges Your claim upon me and accepts You as her Master. In these moments, You claim me heart, body and soul. Please i beg of You, let me cum for You and seal this pact of O/ours." i could feel His body shift a bit and His lips once again captured mine. He drowned me in kisses as His fingers rubbed along my clit. His cock once again continues to move and thrust inside me. i could feel Him his heart beating a bit faster against me. He groaned against me my neck and whispered softly in my ear. "Sinful beast of Mine, you are to cum now. As you so eloquently have said let U/us seal this pact. you are Mine now and forever. I will never let you go and I will care for you well. You will sleep in My bed each night and tend to me as you have been so well trained to do." He crushed me again with His kisses. With one last stroke of His cock, i moan my surrender to pleasure and cum hard over His cock. i pulse and hold Him tight within. i am left wanting for Him to spill His seed. i am not kept long in that wanting for Him. He cried out as He cums inside me. Spent W/we both breathe hard and gradually begin to calm. He lies down and pulls me down beside Him. On my make shift bed, He smiles and curls me to Him. i quickly settled into His arms and prepare to drift off to sleep. W/we quickly fell asleep curled in each O/other's arms. For the first time since my capture i felt that things were going to be all right. i slept knowing a certainty that i was safe and that nothing bad was going to befall me. i was with my Master and that was all that mattered. In the morning, i was surprised to find Him still curled up beside me. i nuzzled against Him for a brief moment and felt Him stir a bit. He pulled me tighter to Him and placed a tender kiss and a soft nip at that nape of my neck. It sent a chill of passion through my body. It was the one place on me that always got that reaction. "I do believe that a certain kitten enjoys her Master's touch all ready. See to your morning business. I require you for something." With those words said, He slipped my paw down to His cock to find that He was hard. He wrapped my paw around Him and helped me to stroke Him. i could feel Him grow a bit harder beneath my touch. Then almost as quickly as that began, He was gently pushing me away with a pat on my rump to hop to it. i quickly scampered over to the corner where the privy bucket was. i tended to my morning business trying not to feel any embarrassment for there was no privacy for such things in this cage. He averted His eyes to give me a bit of that. i scampered back to O/our make shift bed and looked at Him wide eyed. "My Master would it please You to have this kitten pleasure You this morning?" He chuckled at my words and pulled me into His arms. He showered my lips with kisses and softly stroked my fur. He curled me around Him so that most of O/our bodies was touching. His hands explored every inch of my body. i couldn't help but purr at Him. "I want more than just you pleasuring Me this morning my kitten. I want your pleasure as well. All that W/we do in such sport come down to this...I want for you to get as much out of it as I put into it and vice versa. I don't want your submission blindly or by force. I know that I made you beg as I did last night. If you wish to take back the words that you said then I will accept it. If you repeat those words now, I will take it as your final answer." i blinked at Him as He spoke those words to me. i could take back the words that i said last night while begging for my release. i had never heard of such a thing. Why would i want to? He had spoken to a part of me that yearned for such a passionate Master. It was not just his passions that were quenched last night but my own as well. i knew i had a rare Man within my reach and i wanted to give Him my submission. i knew within every core of my being that this was the man that i had been yearning for. my former Master had planted the seed within me to serve but He had never made me yearn to do just that. my service no longer was forced. "No, my Master, i do not wish to take back the words that i have spoken to You. You have spoken to my heart, to my mind, and to my soul on a level that i can not ever hope to return to life as it once was. i do not wish to be released from what i have said. Please Master, i am Yours now and forever." He pulled me closer to Him and drowned me with His kisses. i could feel His need and His wanting in each one. It made me wonder with all those in His home why his hunger was so acute or was this normal for my new Master? i suppose in time i would find out which it was. i responded to Him as if He was playing my body like a fine instrument. In those next moments, however, O/our time was interrupted by one of His men. my new Master showed no distress in being found in the cage with me. The man who found U/us was a little embarrassed to see such an open act i guess. i tired not to laugh when the guy finally was able to get his words out of his mouth. "M'Lord there is *clears his throat* business that I am afraid can not wait. I have been searching for you for some time now. I didn't think to look here for you." my Master moved to gather his garments from the floor and dragged me up beside Him. He paused just a moment to throw his breeches on. He pulled me along with Him down several corridors and a hall. my Master told a servant who was passing by U/us in the hall to bring a tub and hot water to His chambers for He wished to bathe. my Master's man seemed a bit distressed that my Master was putting business off for a little while longer. The man seemed a bit unnerved that i was taken from my cage without so much as a word of instruction to any of the staff. i was quiet and still as i watched the man who had come looking for my Master. Finally Master broke the silence and looked the man in the eye and began to speak. "Would you have your Lord tend business smelling of pussy? I think not. I do not mind the smell of her on me. I do know that the bishop would not like to know what it is I was doing last night. Serve the bishop some breakfast in the dining hall." The man moved to carry out his Lord's request leaving U/us alone once again. Master stopped just outside the door to his chambers. He paused for a few moments and pushed me through the door he opened. A rush of servants followed U/us inside a few moments later. The tub was brought in and filled with water. i was lifted into the tub and Master soon followed me. It felt nice to feel the hot water meet my skin. It was not often that i got to have a hot bath. Normally i had to settle for tepid water left over from my previous Master's bath. i had never been allowed to join my former Master in the tub to bathe so this was something new to me. "My precious kitty, I need you to bathe me. I am sorry but W/we do not have time to be leisurely about it. I will make it up to you later this day." i quickly found the soap and lathered Master's body up and took care that every part was washed and well rinsed. With a tap He took the soap from me and lathered and rinsed me rather quickly. He dragged me from the tub and set me upon the floor motioning to the awaiting towels to dry Him off with. I was prompt in my actions as i knew He didn't have a lot of time. He left me with a kiss and a pat on my rump. He instructed me to curl upon the bed and rest for it might be a good while before He returned. i was told not to leave the confines of this room and use the time to rest. He was a gentle but firm Master and i gave Him a tender kiss to send Him on His way. i was not accustomed to curling up on a bed when ever Master was not around. For me it was a foreign concept. i made sure that my body was good and dry before stretching out upon the coverlet of the bed. i let my head rest against one of the fluffy pillows and settled down to take a nap. i didn't think to cover my body as i was often used to being naked for my Master. i was rarely allowed to dress and saw no point in trying to find something to wear. i do not know how long i slept there like i did. It was dark out though when i awoke. i stretched all graceful like a cat and went to look outside one of the windows of the room. The moon and stars were shining brightly through the window. i wondered when my new Master would return to the room. i looked a bit around the room to get my bearings of my new surroundings. i did not have long to ponder that question when He strode through the door looking rather tense. i jumped down from the bed and went over to Him kneeling down before Him. i looked up at Him and let out a soft purring noise that only one of my people make when they are content. He smiled down at me and softly petted my head. "Master, You look as though You have had a long day. Let this humble slave take Your worries away from You." i reached my hand up over His leg to let Him know that i was there for Him. Slowly He reached down and took my hand in His. He pulled me to my feet and led me over by the bed. He pulled a series of silken ropes down from inside the canopy. He looped the silken ropes about my wrists and bound them above my head. He kicked my legs apart and tied them in place. i was facing the bed with my back was on display to Him. i could feel that Master was a bit tense about something. i, also, knew that i trusted Him and would do what ever He asked of me. i was His and that was all that mattered to me in that moment. Slowly Master began to speak to me. "My precious kitten, I have had a very bad day today. So that W/we start off on a continued good foot I must instill a bit of discipline within you. I am generally a kind and loving Master but should you incur my anger know that I will punish you quite swiftly. I never strike when I am in anger. Now what I wish to do know is a test of what you know pain and pleasure to be now that you are Mine." He softly caressed my body with His bare hand. I could not help but respond to His touch. He slide his nails down my back causing me to arch towards Him. i don't know whether to purr or to groan. It just simply felt good to me but to S/someone else it would not be such a delight for His touch is not light. i am hoping that before He is done i would have soft lines on my back from where He runs His nails. i heard Him move from behind me. The next sound i heard was Him testing the leather flogger in His hand. i purred and wiggled my bottom in response to the sound. i could hear Him chuckle at me when He saw me do that. i enjoyed the feel of leather against my flesh. "I see that My precious kitty likes that sound. Do you enjoy the kiss of it against your flesh as well? you may answer Me on this." "Yes, my Master, i do enjoy the kiss of it against my flesh. It awakens my dark desires and longings. My body is Yours to kiss in such a manner. i know that You will be kind in its application and not strike me in a manner that would harm me." He brought the flogger to my lips and i kissed it. He seems little surprised that i knew to do such a thing. i could feel the soft caress of the leather trailing down my body as He teased me with it. He slides it down over my breasts, down my stomach, over my mound, down my legs, and then went up my body. He was teasing me so that i could not anticipate the first kiss of it against me. "I will continue this exercise until you tell Me to stop. I wish to see how much my kitten can take. Are you ready to begin? you may answer Me on this." "Yes, Master, i am ready to feel the kiss of Your flogger against me. i will tell You when i can take no more. i will simply speak aloud the word – Stop." "Very well My kitten. Let U/us begin." He did not keep me waiting long to feel the kiss of the flogger upon my bottom. The first stroke made me sway a bit in my bonds. i waited patiently for more and knew that there will be a short pause between to allow me time to respond to each of them. i gasped when the second kiss hit me. This was absolute bliss for me. "Don't forget to breathe My precious. I do not wish for you to pass out from lack of oxygen. you may use your voice to tell Me what it is you are experiencing, but no more than that. Follow My instructions and I will reward you for this act." my only response was to purr and wiggly my bottom at Him. He chuckles at me once and another kiss lands upon my left cheek. He reaches around then and pinches a nipple between His fingers which brings a cry to my lips. i can feel Him smile at my response and soon He does the same to the other nipple. i hear Him cross to a drawer and open it and take something from it. He does not keep me waiting long and attaches a clamp to each nipple connects it to a chain that can pull them both. i smile at Him for this is something i have enjoyed in the past. He seems to know just what i like and i am thankful for it. Soon enough He brings His attention back to the flogger after having some more fun tugging at the chain. The next kiss of the flogger makes me sway once again in my restraints for it caught my off guard. i softly cry out in a gasp and steady myself once again. Soon there becomes a pattern of Him pulling upon the chain followed by the kiss of the flogger. i am not sure how long this goes on for before i find my voice to speak. "Please Master may i speak?" "What does Mine wish to say? you may speak/" "Please Master do not tease me much more. i do not know how much more of Your teasing i can with stand." "Awww...is that so My kitten?" "Yes, Master, for You have made me so hot and the fire burning with me must be quenched before it consumes me and causes me to displease You." You chuckle at me a bit at the thought. Your reply is to kiss me with the flogger once again. i cry out and whimper a bit in my longing for more than this teasing. i then feel Your breathe upon my neck as You lean against me and slowly nip at my flesh there. i arch back against You and try to rub my bottom back against You. "So you think that I am teasing you? I have not even begun to do just that. When I am done with your sweet body you will be begging me to take you, and take you I will but not before you truly beg for it." i nod my head in understanding unable at the moment to find my voice. You reach around and run Your nails down my stomach and stop and rest it just on top of my mound. Your lips take my ear lobe between Your teeth and gently pull upon it. In that next moment, Your nail scratches at my clit. i cry out and welcome the feel of Your touch. Sadly though Your hand does not remain there and i feel You move back away from me. Soon i can hear the flogger once again kiss my flesh. i whimper a bit in my need. my hips rotate a bit away from the kiss of the flogger causing my need to become even more inflamed. And so ends Chapter Two.... Captive Ch. 02 The moans of the girl bound and blind folded on his bed spurred on the man and he continued to fuck her wildly, he pulled her nipples and rolled them between his fingers, he slapped her ass and pulled her hair. With each thrust the sex was getting more intense, more animalistic, and more primal. As the fucking continued Kira began to feel her toes curl, again, she tried to fight the feeling but failed, the feeling rushed up her legs and directly into her pussy, making it squeeze as tight as a vice grip around the intruding cock. At the same time a similar feeling rushed down from the tips of her golden hairs, the feeling flushed her skin and made her eyes close in pleasure, her nipples became even more sensitive to the man's touch and her stomach began doing back flips. Her orgasm was only moments away. The man sensed from Kira's heavy breathing and pulsing pussy that she was close to her orgasm and he reached under her, while he teased her nipples with his right, his left hand found its way to Kira's clit and played it perfectly against his fingers, he rolled it and rubbed it and pulled it just right to drive the girl crazy. By this time she was pulling hard against the binds and was fighting to try and stay still, her soft white skin now marked with deep dark red rope burns in some places. Her body was on fire and the massaging of her clit threw her over the edge. It only took one final thrust of the man's hard cock into her cunt to make her pussy erupt. Kira screamed out loud enough to echo in the room, "Oh Godddddd..." she cried as her body exploded, her cunt took hold of the man's cock and held it tight, spasming around it and coating it in her hot girl cum. The man grunted and rocked his hips hard as he felt her orgasm. He continued to tease both her nipples and her clit to extend her pleasure as long as possible. Never once since breaking her cherry did the man stop moving his hips. When Kira finally returned from cloud nine she felt dirty, like a whore or a hooker, she felt betrayed by her body. This man had attacked her in the park and nearly taken her virginity then, and now he had kidnapped her and brought her to his home only to use her like a slut. Despite the fact that she knew she should hate it, that she should hate all of it, she didn't. She didn't know what she felt, but she was certain it was an indescribable feeling very far from hatred. With Kira beginning to calm down, the man returned to his primary task and he continued to fuck her hard, "My turn," he muttered under his breathe, more to himself than to her as he fucked her roughly, their sweaty bodies smacking together each time he lunged forward or pulled her back. The binds around her wrists and waist were the only thing holding Kira in the position she was in. If it wasn't for the strong rope the poor girl would be too exhausted to hold herself up. Despite all that, the hard fucking continued and it wasn't long before the man felt his cum rushing from his balls towards the shaft of his twitching cock. He slowly withdrew his cock as he felt it getting closer, and waited, holding only the tip of his pulsing prick inside her. Then, in one grunted explosion of lust the man lunged forward with all his might, his hands on Kira's shoulders, leaning over her back and pulling her tight to him, he slammed his rupturing cock into her twat and began pumping cum into her as he got deeper and deeper inside. By the time he reached the depths of Kira's pussy he was pumping long thick ropes of his sperm towards her unprotected womb, he flooded her pussy from front to back with every drop he had. As the man was cumming inside her, Kira felt her body light on fire with a desire she never dreamt existed, as her pussy was coated in the hot thick creamy spurts of the strangers cum she felt her body continue to give in and suddenly her second orgasm began. Kira thought that multiple orgasms were a myth women only dreamt about, but as her cunt squeezed hungrily at the man's cock she knew it was for real. What surprised her most as she pulled against the ropes and threw her head back in ecstasy, was that this orgasm was stronger than the last. As her body spasmed on the bed, Kira lost all pretenses of not liking what was happening, she began to cry out, "Yes... yes... yes! Harder!" and found herself pulling her ass back as far as the restraints would allow, getting the hard thick cock just a little bit deeper in her tight hole. By the time the man's cock began to deflate, and he withdrew it reluctantly from her hole, Kira had her second orgasm and could barely hold a thought in her head. She simply waited, waiting to either regain her composure, or for the man with control over her to say or do something. Her body felt as if it was floating on a cloud, slowly that cloud began to lower. As it did, the man behind her spoke to her, his fingers lazily dancing around her back, "You did a very good job baby doll, I am very proud of you." The man leaned forward and removed the pillow case from Kira's head, allowing her to see the room again. He looked at her, his emerald eyes forcing her to stay focused on him and only him, he asked, "Would you like to stay tonight?" Kira's lips pursed into a wicked grin and her words left her mouth before her brain even processed the question, "Yes sir..." she said in a whisper. Captive Ch. 03 The man smiled back at young Kira as she agreed to stay with him. He leaned close to her bound body and ran his fingers through her hair stroking her, petting her, in a calming way, "Good girl," he said. As Kira sat motionless on the bed the man slowly began to loosen the rope binding her, it only took a few moments and she was free from the coarse rope that has previously held her in place. Red marks dotted her in places where the rope had burned her creamy white skin. When all the ropes had been removed Kira still stayed in the same position, up on her hands and knees on the bed. She refused to move, something inside her demanding permission before she would do so. The man tucked the rope away, back into the bedside drawer and again ran his fingers through Kira's hair, he was pleased she chose to stay in the position he put her in. She was already learning quickly. The man spoke gently, his hand on the small of Kira's back, "Lay down, baby doll." Instantly Kira followed direction, laying down on the bed for the man. She rolled so she could lie on her back, looking up at him, her nude body exposed to him. He knelt on the bed next to her. The man looked down at her, his smile matching hers, "It is late, you need to sleep." Kira looked up at the man, her body still on fire from the orgasms he had given her. She constantly relived the feeling of his cum spraying into her like a fire hose and she reluctantly closed her eyes. The man took one last look at his captive and then leaned down to kiss her forehead, before climbing off the bed and slowly walking to the door. Kira's eyes were closed the entire time, but as he reached the door she spoke softly, barely loud enough for the man to hear, "Sleep with me?" she asked, almost begging. The man couldn't help but smile, she truly was a pet worth keeping, he turned back to her and answered, "Not tonight baby doll, that is something you will need to earn." The man did not go into further details, instead he unlocked the door with the keypad, exited, and locked it again from the outside. Without the man in the room Kira suddenly felt more alone than she ever had in her life. She felt a closeness to him that she couldn't explain, she just knew it was there. She knew by now her parents would be worried sick about her. She knew that her father had probably called the police to look for her, she knew they were probably looking for her this very moment. Despite all that, she laid there peacefully and contently in this stranger's bed. A stranger who had grabbed her in the park and had nearly stabbed her with a knife, a stranger who had nearly raped her right there in the bushes and shrubs but decided not to. This was a stranger who took her home and tied her to his bed and fucked her hard until he had given her the two strongest orgasms of her young life. Not to mention the fact that he had cum inside her, flooding her unprotected cunt with his sperm. Kira knew it was kidnapping, and even rape, but she still felt a connection to the man. She felt safe there, safer than she had ever felt before. With that safety, and only that safety on her mind, she drifted to a calm sleep. Kira slept soundly, not stirring nor waking until around ten o'clock on Sunday morning when she felt the touch of the man's hand against her face, "Wake up baby doll." Kira, like any young girl, didn't want to wake too early on a Sunday morning, especially after such a busy night, but she slowly opened her eyes to see the man before her. He was dressed in only a blue bathrobe, hanging long, nearly to his knees, it was open in the front and she could see that he was nude. She caught herself admiring his body for a moment before she whispered, "Good morning Sir." The man smiled and leaned down kissing Kira gently on the lips, but pulling away before she could kiss back, "Good morning sweetheart," he said calmly, still gently stroking her cheek, "did you sleep well?" Kira leaned into his touch subconsciously and felt her stomach flutter, "Mmmmmhmmm" she purred, liking the feeling of the soft blankets under her. The man sat down on the bed next to her, and Kira smiled, propping herself up on one elbow so she would be closer to his eye level, he spoke calmly and firmly, his voice even, for this was the moment of truth. His future, her future, depended on this moment, "Baby, people are looking for you, they think something bad happened to you. Do you want me to take you home baby doll?" he asked his eyes staring into hers. Kira's eyes widened at the question, she didn't know what she expected, but it wasn't that. There was a moment where it was as if time froze for the young girl, but her mind continued to race a mile a minute. Her common sense said to go home, to run home, to tell the police about the man who kidnapped her, raped her, and used her body so roughly, but then, there was another part of her, a part deep down, so deep that up until last night she didn't even know it existed. That part wanted to stay, wanted to see what happens next, wanted to feel the pleasure she felt last night and wanted to please the man with her. The two parts of Kira battled in her mind, trying to reach a decision, finally she did, "I want to stay with you Sir." The man smiled wide and kissed Kira on the lips tenderly, a soft kiss, a gentle kiss, the way two lovers would kiss. "I was hoping you would say that baby," the man said, his fingers running through Kira's hair. He stood up and looked at her, "Get up and come downstairs, I have something for you." With that being said, the man exited the room and left Kira alone, going downstairs to wait for her. Kira was quick to react, she bounced up off the bed and felt a small chill as her feet touched the cool hardwood floor. Nude she rushed out the door, not concerned about her nakedness, feeling completely comfortable. By the time the man was half way down the stairs, he heard the young girl behind him, almost running to catch up with him. Once they had both reached the bottom the man turned to the young girl and commanded, "Get on your knees." Kira could not explain the rush that came over her, but she felt the desire, the want, the need to do as she was told. She fell to her knees and ignored the small amount of pain as she banged her knees against the floor. She looked up at the man, silently waiting to hear what she should do next. The man whispered, "Good girl," as he saw the results and the quick progress the girl was making. As for Kira she flushed a deep red at his praise and felt herself smiling so wide her cheeks hurt. The man stood over her, looking down at the young nude girl before him, the girl who decided to stay. He spoke to her and she stayed focused on him the entire time, barely blinking he said, "From now on, I will be your Master, and you will be my pet. You will do as you are told at all times, and I will take care of you in return. You will need no other, because I will be everything to you. From now on, I am your whole world. Do you understand this baby?" Kira's skin burned deep red as she heard his words, down on her knees before him she could barely stay still. It was as if she felt they were the only two people on the earth at that moment. Her pussy moistened heavily as he spoke, her nipples hard and erect. She wanted to please him, she would do anything for him, she was proud to be his pet. "Yes Sir," she whispered, "I understand." The man reached into the deep pocket on the side of his robe, he pulled out a silver collar with a name tag and held it in front of Kira. "You will always wear this, because you are my pet." Kira nodded in acceptance and reached back lifting her hair out of the way so the man could wrap the cold, silver collar around her neck. He clipped the collar in place and Kira let her hair fall down around it. On the front side of the collar hung a small diamond shaped name tag which had the word "Pet" engraved. Kira felt a rush of happiness as she felt the collar around her neck, to her it felt as if she was worthy of something, and finally where she belonged. As the man attached a small silver padlock to the collar, to prevent it from being removed she looked up at him and whispered, "Thank you Sir." Once that was done the man smiled at Kira, he truly was happy with the progress she was making, such a good submissive. He stood over her in a dominating position and said, "Go into the living room and kneel next to the couch." The man stayed to watch, but Kira moved quickly, crawling fast across the hardwood floor, her ass high in the air and wiggling with each movement. The man felt a stirring in his cock as he followed a few steps behind her, occasionally catching a glimpse of the glistening lips poking out from between her legs. In the living room, Kira quickly knelt next to the couch just as she was told, her desire to please this man was burning strong, even if she didn't understand it. She reached up and ran a finger across the collar and shivered in delight, she really was his, completely. When the man came into the living room he sat on the couch next to where Kira was kneeling. He took hold of her by the hair and pulled her lightly until she was kneeling in front of him, between his spread legs. "Have you ever touched a cock pet?" Kira blushed at the question, suddenly feeling like an innocent little school girl on the playground with her crush and not like the pet, or the sex slave she really was. She looked down at the floor, "Yours Sir," she muttered, "is the only cock I've ever seen or touched." The man smiled and reached down, taking his cock in his hand, it was already hard and small droplets of pre-cum were leaking out of the twitching tip. He gave it a few hard strokes, expertly manipulating his erect prick while Kira watched intently She could not pull her eyes away from the large purple veins poking out of the skin or the way the foreskin make the thick tip of the cock disappear each time he pulled up on his dick. The sound of the skin smacking as man jacked his cock for her was enough to light Kira's body on fire. Her pussy flooded uncontrollably, leaking cum and letting it trickle down her thighs, her nipples were so hard they ached and she wished he would touch her soon. After several minutes of pumping his cock in front of her the man asked, "Would you like to help baby? Would you like to help your Master jack off his hard prick?" Kira smiled innocently, lightly chewing on her bottom lip, she wanted it, she wanted it more than anything, she nodded her head slowly and the man winked at her. He took her right hand and guided it to his cock and placed it on top of his hand and continued to slowly pump his cock, letting her feel it. Kira loved the touch, her eyes locked on the piece of meat before her, and she savored every stroke of his cock. Her pussy was practically pouring out now, her cunt leaking sweet juices all over the hard wood floor beneath her. Even though the man kept his hand between hers and the cock Kira could still feel the heat of the cock, as if it was burning a hole into her hand. She wanted it. The more the man jerked off, the more he began to grunt and groan in response, he often times threw his head back against the couch and closed his eyes, savoring the touch of not only his hand, but his pet's hand as well. In time he decided it was time to go one step further, he lifted both Kira's hand and his own from his hard shaft and looked at her. As their eyes met the man lowered Kira's hand to his cock and guided her fingers until she had a firm hold of it. "Stroke it gently now baby," he said, licking his lips as he watched her work, he also noticed the puddle of pussy cream beneath her. Kira was delighted to feel the man's cock in her hand, she loved the way it pulsed and throbbed with each beat of his heart. As per his request she slowly began to stroke his tool, getting more and more turned on each time she saw the tip of his cock disappear into her fist, and likewise each time she got to see the thick veins hiding under the foreskin when she pulled it back. Kira decided as she stroked him that this was much better than making out with Brad Stevens on his couch, even if he was a basketball star. Kira continued to stroke the man and as far as she could tell he seemed to enjoy it. He often encouraged her with comments, like "Oh yeah baby, do it like that" or "Ohhh fuck baby jerk Master's cock." At one point during the jerking session the man took Kira's free hand and guided it to his balls, he placed his hand over hers and began to show her how to caress them, gently, feeling them fill with cum. Once she got the hang of that, the man removed his hand and let her continue on her own, she really was a quick learner. The more Kira learned, the more she liked what was happening, she liked the feel of his cock, the feel of his balls, the sounds of slapping skin as she sped up her strokes, she loved the feel of his filling balls, knowing that it was her that was arousing him so much. Each time he threw his head back into the couch she got more and more eager, stroking both faster and harder. The man was quick to find out that although Kira had never seen a cock before last night, she truly was a natural, he felt his lust boiling over and soon he knew he was moments away from blowing his load. He didn't give Kira this information, instead he just continued to grunt and groan, moaning advice to her as she expertly worked his cock and balls. His hips lifted off the couch and stayed frozen in the air as a loud "Ohhhh yesssss..."filled the room. Kira had never heard a sexier sound in her young life and doubled her efforts, leaning closer to the man to get a better grip pumping hard and fast on his twitching shaft. This was more than enough to cause an eruption. It only took a moment, but for Kira it was slow motion; she felt a tightness in his balls as she fondled them and then an extreme pulsing within the shaft as she stroked it. The pulsing was the man's cum working its way closer and closer to exit. The cum flew out of the man's cock and caught Kira by surprise, the first stream hitting her right in the cheek. She suddenly froze, one hand wrapped around the man's pulsing, cumming cock, the other teasing his emptying balls. As he came the man took hold of his cock at its base, aiming it. As the ropes of cum fired from his cock he guided them to hit Kira in the face and hair as well as the tits. Spurt after spurt came from the cock, accompanied by lewd grunts. When he was empty one droplet of cum rested against the tip of his cock. "Good pet," the man said as he basked in the after glow of his orgasm. He released his cock as it began to go deflate between his legs. Once his eyes were able to focus again he took a look at the woman before him, there she was, his cum covered pet. Kira knelt there naked, still holding his limp cock and empty balls, her hair and face coated in thick creamy sperm, several gobs running down her cheeks to her chin. As for her breasts they looked as though they were each bathed in cum, each having several ropes on the cleavage dripping down to her nipples. As the man looked at her, he thought she never looked more beautiful. As Kira heard his praise she couldn't help but feel good, not only was she was able to make her Master cum so strongly which was a compliment in itself, but then to have him praise her verbally was too much to handle, she felt her pussy getting even wetter. The man told her she could release his cock and Kira reluctantly did so. Still kneeling before him she awaited his next order. The man ran a single finger up Kira's cum covered cheek and collected a small amount of his cum on his fingertip. Once he did that he placed his finger against Kira's lip and she opened them. Instinctively she began to hungrily suck on his finger tip, sucking down his cum and savoring the hot musky flavor of her Master, she continued sucking long after it was gone. The man pulled his finger from Kira's mouth and looked down at the beautiful girl before him, "Are you hungry?" he asked. Kira nodded enthusiastically at her Master, her stomach having had rumbled and growled at her all morning, "Oh yes sir, very hungry." The man smiled and ran his hands through Kira's hair. As he spoke his cock was already beginning to harden between his legs, "Then I guess it's time to see what that pretty mouth of yours can do." Captive Ch. 03 You smile at me and let the flogger kiss my flesh several more times. There is no set rhyme and reason to how the flogger hits my ass. You are careful about where it does hit my body which leads me to think that You are quite experienced with using a flogger. i cry out softly with each kiss. It feels so good but my body beginning to cry out with another need. It wants to know the feel of Your hands on my body. The soft feel of Your fingers rubbing along my slit and teasing my clit. It wants to feel Your cock buried deep within my pussy once more. i am on fire with my need. Slowly, i find my voice to speak. "Please Master let the whip no longer kiss my flesh. Your kitty needs to know the feel of Your cock inside me. Please Master use Your kitty." i can hear Him chuckle at me for a moment or so. The kiss of the whip does stop, but it is not for the reasons that i was longing for. i could feel His hands brush over my mound but and then rubbed along the heat of my ass. You pinched my ass where the whip had kissed it sending chills of delight along my spine. Then You reached around and spanked me on my slit. Your slap was not light but it was not the same sting that a whip's kiss would have been. i squirmed more in the restraints and tugged at them. This was a truly decadent feeling and i didn't want You to stop. "Kitten, I fully intend upon using you. Be patient My little one and you will be rewarded well for your obedience to Me." He continued to spank my slit a few more times and soon parted my lips so that my clit was now fully exposed. You pinched it between Your finger tips and rolled it before spanking it as well. my body was crying out for more and waited to see what You were yet to put me through. i knew that You were not done with the teasing of my body. You reached down between my legs and slid Your fingers along my slit and teased along my opening. You found that i was very well soaked with my juices and could easily take Your cock within me. You softly growl in my ear as You slide two fingers inside of me. i roll my hips back against You and wiggle against the restraints. With one hand, You undo the ties of Your pants. You walk around and stand in front of me. You tell me to look at You as You slide Your hand over Your cock. i couldn't help but lick my lips at the sight of You. i know that in many ways this is just another way of teasing me. You move to stand before me and quickly rub Your cock along my slit collecting my juices. You lean in and nip along my shoulder which makes my body shudder. You grab my hips to steady me before shoving Your cock up into my drenched pussy. You wrap my legs around You and fuck me hard and fast. All i can do is grip You with my legs. i am feeling my need for release growing but not quite ready to start begging for it. i am relishing this feeling as it was not often i was allowed to feel pleasure in this act. You reach down between U/us and pinch my clit between Your fingers. i cry out in pleasure and my body begs for You silently not to stop. You sense that i am enjoying this and continue to take me harder and faster then You had before. Your one hand reaches around and spanks my ass hard. It makes me cry out and whimper with my need for release. You seem to sense this and softly speak leaning in to whisper it into my ear. "If My kitten needs release she had better beg for it." You said this to me with a grin about Your eyes. You know how on the verge of release but You simply let me have it. You are going to establish early on that You control my release. You want my submission to be complete to You. You nip at my shoulder and drove Your hard cock deep inside me as You wait for me to speak. "Please Master let Your kitten cum for You. Please let me show You how You have affect my body. Please Master let me cum." You turn my head towards Your mouth as Your lip crush mine. You kiss me deeply and make continue to let the fire build a bit longer. You can feel by my movements against You that i am so very close. You pull Your lips from mine and finally whisper in my Your consent for me to cum. "Yes, cum for Me, my kitten. Show Your Master how well I have teased your body. Do not be silent as I wish to hear you cum for Me." I whimper my understanding of Your instructions and let my body respond to Yours. My pussy and my body shudder and pulsed around Your cock as i cum hard for You. i scream out my pleasure as my body shakes and pulls at the restraints. my ecstasy is seen in my eyes as i throw back my head to let my voice be heard. You groan as my pussy grips tightly at Your cock. Just when i think my orgasm has begun to subside You pinched my clit and i scream out as another wave hits me. my body milks at Your cock wanting You to cum with me. i know that You won't be able to hold out with how my pussy is gripping at You. You scream out in Your own orgasm and hold me close to You. You rest a bit with Your head resting upon my shoulder as Your spent cock slowly slides from my pussy. my juices flowing from my body and dripping down my legs. You reach up to undo the restraints and drag me onto the bed to cuddle me in Your arms. Slowly my body calms from such an intense orgasm. i thank You for allowing me to cum and rested my head upon Your shoulder. You rest Your one hand upon my mound and lightly squeeze it now and then. Slowly i find myself beginning to doze off and You keep me in Your arms to rest. i find myself still in Your arms when i awake some hours later. i look at You and find You dozing beside me. i can't help but smile as i find myself feeling so content and safe with You. i lay my head back down and drift back off to sleep. Much later that evening, You stir next to me finally and shake my until i awaken. You instruct me to kneel up beside the bed. i quickly do as i am told and await further instruction from You. Previous lessons have taught me not to question my Master on why to do something. i can't contain a smile and steal a look over at You to see if You have one upon Your face as well. You swing Your legs over the side of the bed and rest right on the edge of the bed. You grab a hold of my hair and pull me towards You. Your pull is not to hurt me but to instruct me without words and a further showing of Your Dominance over me. i know that You are setting the tone of O/our relationship in small steps. "Kitten, you will please Your Master with that sweet mouth of yours. Your Master is restless and wants to relax some more. I want you to be the sexy little kitten that You are for me. You will please me in doing this. Master knows that you want to please Him." i smile sweetly at Him and understand what He was wanting. i move so that i am now kneeling between Your legs. i softly rub my fur against You as i move to run my tongue along the length of Your cock. You are not yet hard and i know this is a task to see how well trained i am with my mouth. i know what is expected of me and don't need to be told more than once what it is that i am to do. i look at You for a moment for a sign that i have the go ahead to proceed. i know enough that even though i have been told to do something that i still need permission. You respond gripping my hair in Your hand and pulling my face closer to Your cock i run my tongue along the length of Your cock. i slowly set about pleasuring Master with my mouth. i teased Your cock with just my tongue. my voice was only a soft purring that would soon be vibrating along Your length. i was letting You see that i wanted to show You pleasure in this simple act. i could feel You grasp my hair a bit tighter as You pulled me even closer against You. You softly tell me to open my mouth and You slide Your cock into it. i open a bit wider to adjust to Your size. i can hear Your sweet moan as my tongue runs along the underside of You. i slide my mouth back and forth along You. You softly pull at my hair and guide me as i suck upon Your cock. my soft purring of happiness vibrates against Your cock. i can hear Your heat beating quicker and it makes me smile to know that i am having this affect upon You. Right now the only thing that truly matters is the pleasure that i can give to You. You abruptly pull me to my feet by my hair, and tell me to get onto the bed on all fours. You waste no time in mounting me, and drive Your cock inside my sweet pussy. i thought that You wouldn't last long after the attention i have been giving Your cock. You soon proved wrong that i was wrong in that thinking. You bit at the nape of my neck and reached around me to pinch my clit. You knew that both things would make me want release and soon. You were driving me closer to that edge and You were playing my clit with a definite purpose. i was hoping that You would want me to have my release soon as that would feel so good. "Sweet kitten, your pussy is so tight around My cock. Master wants for you to cum with Him. Do not dawdle and cum with Me now!" my pussy gripped tighter at Your cock as You spoke those words. my body shuddered as You bit hard along my neck and i swiftly obeyed Your direction. O/our orgasms crashed over U/us and W/we cried out in intense pleasure. i was sure that any person passing by the area would hear U/us but i did not care. i was too far gone in this pleasure and nothing else mattered at that moment. You relaxed against my back as Your body began to calm. My pussy continued to milk at Your cock as my body slowly calmed as well. i could feel Your breathe against my neck as You slowly pulled out. You laid a soft kiss in the middle of my spine. After a few moments, You laid down upon Your back and pulled me with You. i rested my head upon Your chest and listened to Your heart beating. You rested Your arm along my hip and held me close against You. Your hand lightly brushed along my fur as W/we calmed and kissed my forehead before softly speaking. "Well done My precious kitten. Let U/us sleep for now. Tomorrow you will have your reward." i smiled at You feeling safe in Your embrace. my mind did not think of my previous Master in those sweet moments. i hoped that the new day would bring new answers and further direction. i knew that sleep was needed as well. i purred softly at my Master. "Thank You Master for the pleasure and permissions You have given to me during this time. Your kitten is happy and content." i could see a smile even in Your eyes as i spoke those words. i truly was thankful and was happy. Perhaps truly happy for the first time since i was a child. This Master was not like my previous in so many ways. There truly wasn't a comparison and that opened my heart to something new. i woke that next morning to find that my Master was sitting by the fire. His eyes were staring into the flames and He looked lost in thought. Not wanting to disturb Him with questions, i tended to my morning business and quietly kneeled up beside Him. i softly rested my head upon His leg and quietly purred as to tell Him that i was there. Without saying any thing He began lightly running His fingers along the fur on my neck. i was content to simply sit there by His side. i knew that if any thing was required of me that He would tell me. After as short while, He reached down and patted my tush and indicated for me to climb up into His lap. He lightly wrapped His arms around my waist and held me close to Him. His hands softly brushed along the fur on my stomach and had no rhyme or reason to the pattern. It was soothing to me and i was sure that it must have been soothing to Him as well. i nuzzled softly against Him and purred so that He would know that i was content and happy with this. This was truly a tender moment that before i could have only longed for. i was not accustomed to simply sitting in the lap of my Master without some sort of task to do. For the first time in my life as a slave, i didn't feel taken for granted. It was often said among other slaves that a busy Masters did not take time to simply be with Their slave like this. i knew that Lord Elrik was not a Man who had a surplus of time on His hands but this meant much more than to me than a precious gem. A knock on the door interrupted the quiet time that we were sharing. Master made no move to get up and held me a bit more firmly against Him. He answered the knock by yelling for the person to come in. It was His man at arms and the very man who had found U/us the other morning in my cage. A small blush crept over my face at seeing him again. A part of me wanted to grumble at the man for disturbing this peaceful moment. i held my tongue for i knew it would displease my Master to speak. i turned my gaze to look down at Master's lap and to concentrate on being a comfort to Him. i purred softly and ran my tail along His legs as if to provide some comfort to Him. "M'Lord, You are needed downstairs. I apologize for having to interrupt Your morning yet again. The staff is a up in arms this morning. They have heard about the cat woman is no longer confined to the cage below. They are fearful of her M'Lord. Some are even talking of leaving." i heard a small grumble pour forth from Master's lips upon hearing this. i did not wish to be trouble for Him and yet it appeared that in a way i was. That is what i was seeing in my mind. i started to squirm a bit in His lap wanting to be allowed to get down. "I will be down in a moment with My slave in tow. I will not have My people afraid of her as she will be staying with here with U/us. she is not something that is to fear but rather just an exotic creature who feels just like You and I do." Master softly tapped me on my bottom and indicated for me to slide off His lap. He crossed the room and i followed Him at His heels. From the armoire, He took out one of His silk surcoats with His family crest upon it. He placed the garment over my head and fastened a belt around it. He stood back and seemed pleased with how it looked on me. He placed a sweet kiss upon my lips much to the dismay of the man at arms that seemed uncomfortable with the entire scene before him. Master led me out the door and down to where much of His staff had assembled idly chatting. The room came to a dead silence quickly upon seeing me. There was some small chatter when they realized what i was dressed in. i was certain that many of the people assembled here in this room had never seen one such as i up close. Without being instructed to do so, i slipped to my knees and kneeled as a good slave should before their Master. i felt His hand softly caress my neck and with a look tell me that i had done a good job. He waited to see His people completely stop at their tasks before beginning to speak to them. And so ends Chapter Three... Captive Ch. 04 "I just want to say thank you to everyone who has given me feedback, I will try not to stay away for so long. Please, I do enjoy feedback and hearing from my readers. Thank you!" * Kira forgot her hunger momentarily and blushed at the words of the man beside her. "Does he really think I'm pretty?" she wondered as she felt the cum on her skin beginning to dry. The man took a moment to look over his young pet, she was really coming along nicely. He reached out and ran his fingers across her cheek, feeling his dried sperm against her silky skin. "Do you like pleasing me pet?" he asked as she leaned into his touch. "Oh yes Sir," she replied eagerly, "I would do anything to please you Sir." As the man looked in her eyes there was no doubt to him that she was serious, he could feel it. He leaned back into the couch and reached out to touch her, his fingers lightly tracing invisible pictures on her cheek, her lips, and her neck. "You know baby doll, sometimes when pets want to please their Masters they use their mouths to do it," he looked in her eyes for a moment before asking, "Would you like to please me that way pet?' Kira wasn't sure, she looked down at the floor and her mind raced. In less than twenty-four hours so much had happened, she had been kidnapped, violated in the park, and she had been taken home by her kidnapper only to realize that she wanted him. This man had taken her virginity and convinced her to stay with him, he also taught her how to give a hand job, but now... now he wanted her to suck his cock. She wasn't sure she could do it, she didn't even know how to, she began to stir and worry. The man, the kidnapper, the attacker, the rapist, he sensed her uneasiness and did what he could to help, he kissed her forehead and whispered in a reassuring tone, "Don't worry baby doll," he said, his lips close to her ear, his breathe hot on her skin, "I will teach you, I know you can do it, I won't let anything bad happen to you, my pet." Kira stopped stirring as soon as she felt his tender lips, he calmed her like no one else could. She listened to his words carefully, she believed him. She looked up at him, her ocean blue eyes on his emerald green eyes, she nodded. With her kneeling before him on the floor she was already in the perfect position to learn how to use her mouth on her Master's cock. He was already semi-hard despite his recent orgasm and he was anxious to see what her mouth could do. Kira looked at his cock, which was fairly close to eye level and she subconsciously licked her lips, she wanted it, again. The man began giving basic instructions. He told Kira to lean forward and begin licking the length of his cock slowly. She did as he commanded. It didn't take long for the man's cock to reach throbbing proportions with her touch. Kira noted that when she licked the underside of his cock, the man seemed to really find it hard to sit still. When his cock was standing hard and begging for her hot mouth the man began to expand on his teachings. The man petted her golden hair with his fingers as he continued, "Now lick around the head like you would lick an ice cream cone." Kira began to instantly follow orders, she traced her wet tongue slowly around the crown of the older man's cock head, loving the feeling and the taste. It didn't take long for the man to begin speaking his praise for her efforts, "Oh yeah baby... that's it, lick me good with your hot little tongue," he moaned out, "Oh yeah, lick it like that. Good girl!" There was something about those words, something about being called a "good girl" by this man, something about his praise that made Kira light up like a Christmas tree, her eyes shone brighter, her smile got wider (even pressed against his cock), her nipples hardened and her twat drooled. She was his. The man tried hard not to thrust his hips up into the young girls face just yet, he wanted to wait, he wanted this to last, he restrained himself. When he couldn't take it another moment he told Kira, "Okay baby doll, now put the tip in your mouth and lick it a little." The heat of Kira's mouth resulted in a strong groan from the man who was enveloped by the heat of her young mouth and aroused by the knowledge that not only was he the first man to ever use her pussy but he was also the first man to use her mouth. No matter what happened, she would never be able to forget him. Kira followed her Master's demands and held the tip of his twitching cock in her lips, she couldn't deny the wetness she felt in her cunt each time his cock twitched and pressed against the roof of her mouth slightly. She ran her tongue around the cock head, liking the salty taste and the way the silky tip felt against her busy tongue. She worried that she may not be doing it right, after all this was the first cock she had ever sucked, but each time she began to wonder, the man on the couch would grunt lewdly or moan his encouragement at her as he squirmed on the leather cushions. "Oh yeah baby," he would moan through gritted teeth, "That's it, lick me good." Next, the man put his hands in Kira's hair and began to slowly pull up and push down, forcing her to begin bobbing on his cock. For a first timer she truly was a quick learner. Each time the man pulled up on her hair she sucked his prick head like a vacuum and solicited a moan, each moan louder than before. Each time the man pushed down on Kira's head she took more of his thick shaft in her mouth and never once did she even gag. As for the man, as he watched Kira get lower and lower down his shaft, and he couldn't help but get closer and closer to blowing his load into her mouth and down her throat. He fought back the urge to cum and kept up his lesson with the young girl, guiding her hand to his balls to fondle them while her mouth kept working. The hard wood floor between Kira's knees was accumulating a puddle of juices from her cunt. Soon, she was finally able to take all of his cock into her mouth. Even as it began to work its way in her throat she still did not gag. She was an instant professional cock sucker. With her lips pressed up against the man's belly he stroked her hair and rocked his hips a little, speaking slowly, "Oh baby that's it, take it all. Show me what a good little cock sucking cunt you are." The man watched with a grin as Kira's face blushed deep red, she was enjoying this and it was written all over her face. The man coiled his fist with locks of her hair and slowly began to pull the young girl's mouth off of his pulsing dick. When it was all freed from her mouth Kira was breathing heavy, her lungs trying desperately to fill with, but yet she still leaned forward trying to get her lips around it again, the sooner the better. The man couldn't help but laugh a little, she was an eager little submissive that's for sure. He didn't make her wait long either, he kissed the top of her head and then let go of her hair, allowing her to take him in her mouth again. She did, and Kira went to work like a starving animal, feasting. She licked and sucked at the tip of the man's cock before slowly pulling it into the back of her mouth and opening her throat to take it down. As if she had been doing it for years, Kira deep throated the thick cock, loving the way the big purple vein down the center throbbed in the heat of her mouth. For his part, the man began to thrust his hips up, fucking young Kira's face. At first she was taken aback by this, spitting out saliva as she gagged, but it only took her a moment to regroup and she began to find her rhythm, sucking hard and milking the man's prick eagerly. The man held the back of her head and moaned loudly as she drove him closer and closer to his explosion. In a move that shocked Kira, the man reached down and plugged her nose as she devoured his cock, he also held her head to him hard, preventing her from retracting any. Quickly Kira began to run out of air, but she stayed calm, she trusted him. The lack of oxygen resulted in Kira's mouth becoming an even stronger suction that literally pulled the ropes of cum from his balls as Kira massaged them. At the exact moment that Kira ran out of air the man began to pump his cum into the young girl's throat. He grunted loudly and called out, "Yes baby, take it all." Kira's face burned red and her eyes bulged out slightly as she choked on cock and cum. She needed air, but it was being denied to her, she stayed still trusting him with her life. Kira's mind raced as she ran out of oxygen, in part she knew this was crazy, she should be struggling and fighting against this man who was choking her but yet she couldn't do it. She didn't want to disappoint him, he and his orgasm were the only things that mattered to her, the reasons why she felt this way are still unknown to her, but deep down inside she believes he will teach her about them. She was willing and eager to please, whatever the cost, even if that meant that she choked and passed out, or worse. She was his to use, and if he chose to use her like this, she accepted that without protest. She felt her eyes getting heavy as she began to lose focus, her body shutting down. As the man's orgasm began to slow and he had only a single spurt of cum left to share with his slave, he pulled his cock from her throat completely and allowed her to breathe. Kira instantly began to cough and breathe heavy as she refilled her young lungs. As she did so the man emptied the last of his cum into her wide open mouth. Despite being slightly disoriented due to the lack of oxygen Kira knew she loved the taste of his sperm and drank it down. The man leaned back, completely satisfied. He had really found himself quite a slave, despite being a virgin she was an incredible fuck, she gave expert hand jobs and now as he just found out, she had the mouth of a whore. He smiled a contently and said to himself, "Things just keep getting better." Captive Ch. 04 "My servants, it has come to Your Lord's attention that some of you are displeased with there being a cat woman here with in Our Household. I have not hidden the fact that I have kidnapped with the aid of My men the slave of Lord Ulrich. Lord Ulrich has refused to pay the ransom for her which would have cleared His debt to Us. I will be keeping her. she will not harm any of you and you are to treat her as if she was Me. Do not think to harm or taunt her for I assure you she can defend herself if need be. The claws upon her paws will be kept short for the protection of all and will only be able to aid her in the event of true harm towards her. she is a rare creature and one that I treasure for as long as she is Mine. From this day forth those in this House will call her zara." Master's speech brought a flash back upon me that took me back to when i was 15. i had been caught hunting deer in Lord Ulrich's personal reserve and was brought before Him for punishment. i had reached puberty two years prior to my offence and for a Cat Person that meant a demand for more protein during certain times of the year. i was not yet used to those demands and was having troubles curbing some natural instincts. Twice a year in a Cat Person's life after hitting puberty, we revert to an almost animalistic state for a few days. We hunt and seek a mate much like in the manner of our wild cat ancestry. The first two years, my adoptive parents had seen the signs of it coming on me and had locked me inside our home until it passed. That year however, they had not seen the signs and were unable to stop the events that transpired. There wasn't another of my kind among Lord Ulrich's people that i could have asked questions of or turned to during that time. i was pretty much alone with humans and was coping as best i could given the circumstances. Thus far there had been on return messages from my people and messengers continued to travel there only to return empty handed or refused audience. Lord Ulrich's own people still feared my kind know as the Cat People with our coats of silky fur, pointed lynx like ears, razor like retractable claws, and long fluffy tails. i had been a gift of truce when i was a baby to build goodwill between the two cultures. Unfortunately there was too much distrust so peace talks stalled and eventually fell apart all together. Instead of being returned to my people when those talks fell apart, i was given to a lesser noble family to be cared for. They were to keep me out of sight of Lord Ulrich and make sure that i behaved as any other child might. Lord Ulrich didn't want me under foot with His own children. i don't think He believed that my people were as "tame" as He was lead to believe. i was taught many things about my adopted people as i grew up. i was cut off from my own people and knew nothing about my own kind except for the snip its of things said when people thought i was out of ear shot. i knew the town's people were uneasy about me but they also grew to love me. i was a well behaved child and i worked hard and helped out where ever help was needed. It was early summer when what i would later call my days of misery began. Nothing in my upbringing prepared me for the feelings that soon over took me. i had gone out in the early part of the day and was just returning to the stables with the horse i had taken out. i felt a sudden and persistent urge that at the time i didn't understand. It had never hit me quite like it did that day. One of the stable boys who was always teasing me and trying to get a peek under my clothes followed me into the tack room. He closed the door behind him and blocked my path out of the room. The stable boy reached out and grabbed my tail and pulled me tight against him. i am quite sure that the boy didn't know that the way he was touching my tail was much like running one's fingers over a human's clit. The stable boy quickly relieved me of my garments and was amazed at how human like a Cat Person appeared naked. He admired my fur as he quickly set about touching what ever part of me could grab. The mind should have realized that this was not right but the hormones of a Cat Person in puberty were far worse than that of a human. It didn't help that the lad kept tugging at my tail. Before too long, i had the lad out of his clothes as well and was soon rolling around the ground in heated lust. It wasn't until i felt the pain of my maiden head being breached that i started to come some what back to my senses. If he had not had my mouth covered all ready to silence my meows of pleasure someone may have come to stop what was happening. Being a relatively inexperience lad with sex he didn't realize a good many things. The most important one would have been avoiding my claws. They went into his back when he had brought me to orgasm. It was then that my adopted Father discovered us in the tack room. i was cowering in a corner with blood on my claws and between my legs. The stable boy was looking at me with fear and rocking back and forth upon the ground. i had bolted into the forest in search of food when my Father tried to touch me. i was terrified and confused about what had just happened. i was found later that night in Lord Ulrich's personal reserve. A few bones were all that remained of a deer that i had killed. My fur was covered in blood from the kill and the events of earlier that day. i was thrown into a cage upon my capture and was made to wait until the next morning to be brought before Lord Ulrich. i over heard one of the guards saying that the stable boy was claiming that i had attacked him in the tack room. This did not bode well for me and i was scared and really unsure of what all had transpired that day. What i really wanted more than any thing else right then was my Mother. i wouldn't let any of my jailors touch me as i cowered in the farthest corner of the cell. i was so afraid of what they might do to me if i had allowed them. In the morning, my Mother was allowed to come and bathe me so that i would not be brought before Lord Ulrich still covered in dried blood. She tried to soothe me with words and told me that what i had done was not my fault. She tried to explain to me what had occurred in the tack room was a normal course of being a woman. She didn't want me to think that all men would respond as the stable boy to my claws in his skin. All i really knew at that moment was that i had shamed my family by my actions. i was no longer pure, had harmed someone, and hunted where i knew it was forbidden to do so. Lord Ulrich was a generally fair Lord and He listened to what the stable boy had to say first. The boy's friends, however, tattled on him and told the truth. They revealed that the boy had bet his friends that he could get into my skirt. The stable boy was turned a bit crimson with anger at his friends and became embarrassed by what was revealed. When asked if this was the truth the boy refused to go through with his charge of being attacked by me. The boy knew that the punishment for lying before Lord Ulrich was more severe than the charges against me. The older men laughed and joked amongst themselves and said that the boy should have left the cat to a real man. i did not take pleasure in being referred to as a cat. i was still going to be charged for hunting in the Lord's personal reserve. i cringed in horror when i heard what my sentence was to be. i was to be stripped naked before the town's people, claws trimmed very short, bound to a post, and whipped for 30 lashes. i had never heard of a woman being punished so before but i would accept my punishment none the less. my Mother could not remain in the hall upon hearing that sentence. She could not bear to witness that happen to her child. She raced home, however, to begin gathering things to tend to me once my punishment was completed. She knew that i would need taken care of and didn't trust it in the hands of those who had not raised me. i was taken back to my jail until my punishment could be carried out. i had three days to think about what my punishment would be like. i hardly ate or drank during that time even though it was provided to me. i was still so scared about what had happened and still very unsure of why. i but on a very brave face the morning i was lead from my cell and out into the town's square for my whipping. i was stripped of the garments that i had been wearing in my cell. i trembled from head to toe as i was tied to the whipping post. The claws on all four paws were trimmed very short so that i could not think to use them to cut the ropes that bound me to the post. A man in a hood stepped up and whispered in my ear to be brave. The punishment was pronounced for all that had gathered and the hooded man took his place a bit back from me. i had seen the whip in his hand that was intended to be used on my back. i fought not to cry out in pain when the lashes of the whip began to strike against my back. i was just ten lashes into my punishment when there was a loud commotion in the crowd. It was just at that point that a representative from my people had arrived with a courier. Lord Ulrich called for a stop to the punishment until the representative could be spoken with. i was promptly untied from the whipping post and ordered returned to my cell. i couldn't believe my eyes as i looked upon the first person who was just like me...a Cat Person. The representative went into a private council with Lord Ulrich without as much as a word to me. i was taken down from the whipping post and without much care tossed back into my cell. i was told that my lashes would not be tended to until Lord Ulrich decreed that the punishment would be finished. i sobbed and huddled in a darkened corner at those words. It seemed like hours passed before the Lord Ulrich sent word to the guards. i was to be released with no further punishment for my crime. my Mother was admitted to my cell to bath and tend to my wounds. Lord Ulrich wished to see me within the hour so time was of the essence. i was helped into a light shift after making sure the lashes were just superficial wounds. Just as i was preparing to be led from my cell, i was met by the representative from my people. In a hushed tone i said my thanks to him for arriving and speaking with Lord Ulrich. The man told in a manner of fact fashion what was happening to me and why i had reacted as i had the other day. i blushed deeply as the man talked to me as this was not a subject i thought was discussed so openly. i was told what to expect from such an occurrence in the future and how i may be able to avoid causing harm to partner not like myself. A book was left with me that explained all this so that i would not have to try and remember it all. i begged the man to take me home with him as i was now afraid to be here. The man said that he could not take me with him as i was the property of Lord Ulrich. It was later that very night that i understood exactly what that was to mean. i was brought before Lord Ulrich in the great hall. There was a feast in honor of the representative who had come from my people. i was tied to a post in the center of the room and my shift was taken from me. Lord Ulrich declared that the remaining 20 lashes of my whipping would be carried out then. The great hall became silent as the man in the hood once again prepared to whip me. The kiss of the whip was not something that hurt me overly much. Rather it was pleasurable but i was trying very hard not to let anyone see that. Lord Ulrich saw the wanton look in my eyes and knew what i was feeling inside. He grinned at me in such a way that disturbed me to my very core. i sagged a bit against the post i was bound to when all 20 lashes were done. Lord Ulrich rose from his seat and motioned for a squire to bring him the tufted pillow. Upon the pillow was circular band that resembled the collars worn by His prized dogs. Lord Ulrich fashioned it about my neck and declared to all present that i was now His slave. i would be permitted time to heal in the care of my family but was to return to Him promptly. All of my hopes of having a normal life just went out the window in that moment. i had gone from being a free person on His lands to a slave. i was not given a choice in the matter and some how i felt it was because of the representative from the Cat People. Why else would Lord Ulrich change His mind about wanting me around His family? The squire was instructed to take me to my Mother to heal and to hand my Father the slip of parchment. i cried as i was taken from the whipping post and lead home. Once there the look on my Mother's face was enough to instill more anguish inside of me. i knew deep down that my punishment would never truly be over and that i was now the property of Lord Ulrich. i entrusted the book i had been given to her care knowing that the Lord would probably take everything away from me. After my punishment was done i was taken to back to Lord Ulrich. When i was healed i was brought to the Lord's house by my Father. He was not happy to be bringing me here but also knew that he had no choice in the matter. i was presented to the Lord in the great hall and a collar was fitted about my neck and i was chained to the Lord's chair. There i was to sit by His side that day. i was embarrassed to treated so but i knew better than to complain. Later that day i was brought before Him in his personal chambers. i knew the look He had given me that night. i knew now what such looks meant. my Mother sat with me and talked to me about things that my mind was not yet really ready to handle but knew it would soon become a life saver for me. i was explained a good many things that a woman must know even if she was a cat. i was jarred back to the present moment by Lord Elrik. "zara my pet, please pay attention when I am introducing you to members of My staff." "Sorry my Master, i will strive to be more attentive in the future." And so ends Chapter Four... Captive Ch. 05 i couldn't believe how strong those memories were but i knew that it was something that i needed to pay attention to. Lord Ulrich was just a man and certainly not one i should put up on the pedestal of being a Master. He was the one that turned me into a slave but He didn't have a clue as to how to treat one. i had not been born a slave but for the last five long years i was molded into what i had become. Lord Ulrich had changed my world with little thought or care to the long term effects it might have on me. The only thing i truly longed for now was service. Somehow thought my body knew that Lord Elrik was a true Master. Lord Elrik introduced me one by one to every member of His staff. i knew i would never remember all of their names but there were a few that all ready stuck out in my mind. There was the man at arms, Sir Kern, who twice now had found me in Master's arms, the Falcon keeper, George, because he smelled of leather, and one of the kitchen lass's, Tara, because she actually looked me in the eye when introduced to me. i shook hands with those who would accept my extended hand. The introductions took the better part of that morning. i understood why this was so important to Lord Elrik. i tried not to show that i was uncomfortable and was actually terrified being around this many people at once. i had been kept in my former Master's quarters for a reason – too many people drove my sense of smell into over load. That evening while alone in Lord Elrik's chambers, i shared the memories that had distracted me earlier in the day. His response was to pull me tight against Him and hold me tight. He sought to soothe me in that moment and i let Him pull me close to Him. While i was in His arms He spoke to me in hushed tones. "My precious kitty please do not let memories of things in the past worry you. I will not allow anyone to harm you here provided that you follow the rules of My Household. My people are really loyal and nice once you get to know them. I will see about having a representative from your people come here to speak with U/us. I do not want you to be alarmed again by things you do not understand." i felt comforted by His words and was soon nuzzling up against Him. He felt warm and safe to me. i enjoyed being pressed up against Him. His lips soon traced a line of kisses down my jaw and then down onto my neck. His hand reached between my nether lips to coax me into a wanting state. "My kitty, I need you. I know that you are troubled yet by your thoughts. Please push them aside though so that we can simply enjoy this time T/together. I want for you to enjoy that which I do to your body." i often wondered why He spoke to me with such caring. It was a foreign concept to me but one i none the less enjoyed. i, also, enjoyed the fact that He treated me well. i did not question that this man was quite frankly the Master of not only my body but also my mind and soul. i slowly gave myself over to feeling what He was doing to my body. He played with my clit in such a way that i was squirming beneath His touch. He seemed to love playing with it and knew exactly how to get me riled up. i was more than happy to let Him. It felt so very good to me. Soon enough i was wiggling against Him getting lost in the sensations He was brought to my body. i wasn't used to getting so much attention to my body. i was soaking it up and letting it take me to new heights of pleasure. If this was what pleasure was truly like then i wouldn't be going any where any time soon. i realized that in a way i was becoming a slave to these new sensations because it was so foreign to me. In rare moments i could remember a flick or two from Lord Ulrich's fingers over my clit to stimulate my wetness. Lord Ulrich soon realized that it didn't take much to get that result He needed. Lord Ulrich was not a man to spend a lot of time on what he considered pampering a slave. Master smiled when i started to beg Him to use me. He chuckled a little bit at me and told me that He was far from done with His fun yet. With that said He tied my wrists together and attached them the bed post. He ran His hands along my body and admired the presentation of me bound like that. The kitchen lass, Tara, who i thought was nice brought in a tray of food for Master. she seemed more than a little embarrassed to see me bound so upon His bed. Master told her that she could pet my fur is she wanted to. my body was so pulsing with need that i moaned when she reached out and touched my fur. At first she drew her hand back but then reached out again to touch my fur and stroked it. Master came up behind the kitchen lass and moved her hand to my pussy and helped her to rub along my clit a bit. The lass got the idea of what He was intending and soon was flicking her fingers over my clit and nether lips. Master whispered in the lass's ear to undress and sit upon my face. Tara did as she was asked without much prompting from my Master. "What does M'Lord wish me to do?" Those were the first words i can recall Tara ever really speaking beyond her brief hello. i can still hear Master chuckling at her words as He guided her body over mine so that i could lick her pussy. i knew what Master intended for me to do and as soon as her pussy was within reach i started to lick at her clit. i took delight in giving Tara some pleasure. "Tara you are to let My precious kitty here lick you to orgasm while you finger only her clit. Then and only then will I allow you more." Tara nodded at Master to indicate that she understood His directions and went proceeded to finger my clit. Her finger moved in circles around my clit and it was driving me quite mad with need. i moaned into her pussy and licked a bit faster at it to indicate that i was enjoying what she was doing. She moaned at me as i licked her clit. i felt my legs being spread apart a bit further apart and soon felt Master's cock rubbing along my wet slit. Without much preparation, Master slides His cock into my pussy. It was good and wet from Tara's teasing of me so His movements were smooth. i moaned as His cock moved its way around up inside my pussy. i quickly returned my attentions back to Tara. i was then driving my tongue up into her pussy fucking with my tongue like it was a cock. Tara writhed above me and moaned quite loudly urging me on. Tara kept rubbing my clit and that was pure heaven to me. Master was pumping away at my pussy and was about to make me cum when He pulled out and pulled Tara to Him. He moved her body to position her on her hands and knees facing me and slide His cock inside her. i started to move out of the way and He snapped at me to stay where i was. i was only trying to move so that T/they would have more space on the bed. Tara wasn't far from cumming from the tongue job i had given her and was soon cumming on His cock. That just seemed to urge Him on and He continued to pound away at her pussy from behind while i looked on. He reached under and played with her clit urging her to cum again and she was not one to disappoint Him as she was cumming again from His fingering. He groaned as her pussy milked at His cock and soon spent His seed into her. He spanked her ass then and told her to lie down on the other side of Him in the bed. He pulled U/us both into His arms and He began to doze off. i was feeling a little hurt by being denied orgasm. i was sure that He has some reason why i was not to cum. i was a bit restless beside Him and i didn't want to wake Him with my restlessness. i crawled from the bed and sat before the fire and stared in to the flames for a long while. i must have fallen asleep sitting there because i was awakened by His hand smacking my ass sounding. Master drug me to my feet and drug me over to the foot of His bed. He was not gentle in His handling of me and bound my hand above my head at the foot of His bed. i wasn't even sure what i had done wrong but quickly knew that i was in trouble. "Why must you show such defiance to Me? Did you have My permission to sleep by the fire and not at My side? No, you did not. Do I really need to tell you that you will sleep where I tell you?" His angry words startled Tara quickly awake. She had heard her Lord angry before but had never seen it up close and personal. Her eyes looked at me and quickly lowered to the covers on the bed. She knew that i was in trouble with Him. She was a bit afraid to move from where she was now sitting up. He barked at her to dress and leave U/us. He didn't want her to witness His anger and my punishment. He didn't want anyone to see how He was going to punish me. i could feel the heat of His anger upon my skin. i waited to see what to expect next. i was expecting Him to strike me. i was expecting Him to make the staff come running at the sound of my screams. Instead i was met with the stinging of His words. "zara, you have seriously disappointed Me. I do not know why you have chosen to disobey Me in such a manner. I expect you to be better behaved than this. I woke up and you did not answer me when I called out for you. I found you curled up here by the fire this morning and your spot beside Me quite cold. you are not permitted to roam this castle freely. I will now have to include this room as well since you have disobeyed Me." i trembled at His words. It was worse than any corporal punishment. i could feel His anger with as He spoke to me. i didn't quite understand what the big deal was but knew He had His reasons for reacting so. Just then the man at arms, Sir Kern, knocked on Master's door. Master barked for him to enter. He left me bound to the bed and strode back over to me. He spanked my breasts with His hand to get my attention back. "M'Lord, I am sorry to bother You but I thought You would like an update on the *grows silent for a moment* matter We spoke of last night. This message was delivered to the gate just moments ago. I have brought it straight here to You." Sir Kern handed Master the note. Master read it with bitter silence loaming in the air. He paced a bit before me. He seemed lost in thought for a while before speaking. "Double the guards at the gates until I tell you further. I want a guard posted at my door here as well. This is a very bold and stupid move on Lord Ulrich's part. I will not give him back zara. He has refused to pay her ransom." "Yes, M'Lord, I will see to Your orders. *shifts from foot to foot nervously looking in my direction* I know this is none of my business M'Lord but the kitchen wench, Tara, thought that well. I see now that she was exaggerating the situation. *sighs* The poor girl thought You were going to beat zara for not being in bed this morning. *chuckles a bit*" "I am not amused. *grumbles a bit in anger at the man's words* Sir Kern, you go too far this morning. You will not tell me what to do with Mine. she disobeyed Me and will be punished. I have not struck her beyond her breasts as you joined us. I have tied her up as you can see and did drag her butt over here. *plops down in a chair by the fire* I am stressed and full of worry over recent events." "I understand M'Lord. I did not mean to question You on this." "You questioned Me none the less Sir Kern. I'm going to let you in on a secret that I have uncovered about zara. There is a reason Lord Ulrich did want to pay the ransom and a reason why I had you and the men take her from him. zara is his niece's child there for making her his cousin." i blinked in disbelief at the words Master had just spoken. It made me sick to my stomach to hear it really. How could Lord Ulrich touch me knowing I was a blood relation? How could any one do that to someone related to them? Master looked right at me after He revealed that to Sir Kern. He had not told me that in private but in front of trusted man. This news was not sitting well with me. i was looking a little green. "Sir Kern, release the kitty from the restraints and carry her over here." Sir Kern did as he was told and i tried to hide my head against his chest. Right now all i felt was shame. How could Master touch me knowing what He did? Sir Kern set me in Master's lap and sat down in the chair across from Master. "I'm sorry my sweet zara for not having told you this in private. I have no secrets from Sir Kern and I trust him not to spread this information. *softly rubs my back to comfort me* My sweet kitty, you are innocent of so many things My sweet girl. you do not disgust Me for you were unaware of this blood relationship. Lord Ulrich knew and I can not allow you to return to such a situation. My sweet kitty no man will ever harm you like that again so long as I am alive." "M'Lord if she is his from Lord Ulrich's bloodline how is she one of the Cat People?" "Lord Ulrich's niece was in love with of the Cat Men who had come to visit when negotiations for the peace talks were under way. She ran off with the guy and never returned. It was a surprise to everyone that zara was very much like her father upon her birth. Her mother died in childbirth and was cared for by her father's people for a while. Lord Ulrich demanded to know what had happened to his niece. I suspect Lord Ulrich knew she was dead but wanted confirmation of it." "M'Lord, I don't profess to tell You how to run Your lands...but how can You keep her as a slave knowing what You do about her? I mean no disrespect in saying this but only speak up out of concern." Master's hands were idly roaming over my body. i was trying to not let it affect me as i sat there in His lap. Sir Kern was trying to ignore where Master's hands were but it was a bit hard not to notice. Master's finger pinched at the hood of my clit. "I will eventually set her free. For now, however, I wish to keep her as My slave to do with as I see fit. Is she not a beauty?" "Yes, M'Lord, zara is a beauty." "You act as though you disprove now that you know. I have her well being close at heart and will do everything within my power to keep her safe. *turns me in His lap so that my pussy is well on display to Sir Kern* Just look at her...such a lovely beast. Who wouldn't want to keep her? When I know that she will be safe here I will release her from the bonds of slavery." And so ends Chapter Five.... Captive Ch. 06 i blinked at my Master as soon as He spoke those words. i was more than a bit perplexed over what He had just said.. i thought that i was going to be His forever. Now i was confused and a bit unsettled by the thought of more changes being made. i squirmed a bit in His lap and He softly stroked my fur in a calming manner. i couldn't help myself and i started purring. i don't think Sir Kern had ever heard of one my kind purr before and shifted a bit in his seat. Master looked over at Sir Kern as He looked uncomfortable. "Is there a problem with her purring Sir Kern?" "No, M'Lord, I just have never heard one of them purr before. I didn't know that they had some similar reactions to that of a cat. I thought they were more human than beast." i softly giggled at Sir Kern and Master shot me a look that said to be silent. i shifted a bit in Master's lap to be able to see Sir Kern a bit better. i then turned and looked directly at Master before softly speaking to Him. "Master, may this one speak and explain a bit about my people to Sir Kern." He softly stroked my fur a bit more and smiled at me. He realized that this shy thing in His lap did want to be heard. He wasn't treating her like an object but rather like one would a prized pet. He knew the secrets of her people. "Please do My kitty. I would like to hear this as well. I know some about you but I would like to know more as well. I do have a small confession My beauty and I'm not sure Sir Kern remembers this or not. As a small child, my Mother had a handmaiden who took care of Me. Her name was Tiffa and like you as she was a Cat Person. She was with U/us until I was about seven." "M'Lord, I do remember Tiffa vaguely. She was a gentle and caring lady. I think all of us were sad when she decided to return to her people." "Now please my kitty will you tell U/us more about your people." i took a deep breathe and gathered my thoughts before speaking to T/them B/both. "my people are capable of the same speech as humans and also some of the vocalizations of cats. W/we can purr, hiss, and make a growl like noise. i do believe it is the growl like noise that makes most people afraid of U/us. It comes off sounding quite menacing. i could demonstrate the noises that are cat like if You wish my Master." "I don't see why not but only if Sir Kern's nerves are up to hearing the growl." "I think my nerves can handle it, M'Lord if zara would be so kind as to demonstrate them." "Very well then, i will make the noises for Y/you then." i made the purring noise first. It was met with a smile from B/both of T/them. The next noise i made was the hiss seemed to be met with amusement. Since i was not truly angry or afraid i could not make it menacing. The growl noise was met with commotion in the hallway. Master and Sir Kern chuckled at the sound of feet shuffling outside the Master's door way. Sir Kern went to the door and opened it. i could make out people scurrying and going back to what they had been doing. "Sir Kern, I take from the shuffles outside My door that the some have taken to spying upon the goings on near My chamber. Is this from any one's orders or from their own inquisitive minds concerning zara and Myself?" "M'Lord it may be a little of both. I think that some are still a bit concerned as was I about her presence in regular living quarters. I'm sorry but I was not very trusting of zara because I did not know her. I still had my reservations for Your safety M'Lord. That is my first priority is it not? My apologies to you, zara, but you are a stranger to this Household." "Yes, it is and I am not mad. I expect you to be on top of things. I think the only thing I am in danger with zara is some restless nights." Master spoke those words and B/both He and Sir Kern broke into laughter. Sir Kern did turn a bit red probably from thinking about what the words implied. i just simply purred as i knew it to be the truth. Of all the people, i had encountered in my life -- Master was one man that i had no desire to harm. "Master speaks the truth Sir Kern and i will make this solemn oath before you. i will not raise a hand to Master even if it means that i forfeit my own life in doing so. He is an honorable Man and has not harmed me in the time i have been in His charge. i may grumble from time to time at how others might seek to treat me, but i will not harm them except if they raise an arm to harm Him. i will protect Him with my life. This is not a vow made lightly by my people, and i do not make it lightly either." Master looked me square in the eye and shook His head. He was not accustomed to such words coming from a Lady or one in a status such as mine. Many a slave simply did that without ever making such a public vow. He held me a bit tighter to Him. i felt comfort at His touch and settled next to Him and purred once more. "Sir Kern, I need to ask one thing of you. I don't ask this lightly and will understand if you wish to have some time to think upon this matter. If something should happen to Me, I would like for you to see to it that zara is taken care of. I do not know what the out come of this with Lord Ulrich will be. I won't have her fall back into His hands. Would you take care of her should I fall to some treachery of His?" "M'Lord, I do not need time to think upon this. I may have only begun to understand zara and her people but can see into her and know that she is a good person. I promise to care for her should something ever happen to You. I pray that day never comes though M'Lord." "I pray that it doesn't as well. Thank you for your word on this Sir Kern." "Sir Kern, i hope to never make you regret the promise you have made this day. my people, i am sure would thank you as well should i ever get to embrace them again. my home is no longer amongst them for what ever reason. i live my life now amongst this Household. i do not know why i wasn't returned home when i reached puberty. *sighs a moment* my people are peaceful for the most part. we have tried to live in peace with humans, but so many do not understand what we are. i don't think that we fully understand how we came to be. we simply are this -- a cat that can walk and talk as any human can. we are a bit stronger than a human and our loyalty is unwavering i assure you." Master smiled at me as i spoke to Sir Kern about my people. i could see Sir Kern loosen up a bit in my presence. i think he just needed to better understand what i was and that i didn't mean harm to anyone. "zara, My dear sweet pet. Now that I know that you will be safe here in my House I release you from the bonds of slavery. You are no longer a slave but a member of this Household." i struggled then in His arms at those words. These were not words that i wished to hear. i had come to think of Lord Elrik as someone very special to me. i certainly did not wish to be released from service to Him. "No, Master, please don't release me. What have i done to make You do this? i promise that i will try harder in my service to You. i don't wish to released." my eyes were pleading with Him not to do this. i could feel my tears welling up in my eyes. Sir Kern shifted in his seat again as tears flowed down my face. He looked rather uncomfortable witnessing this. "zara, My mind is made on this issue. I can not keep you as a slave. I know your people would not be very happy with Me for keeping you as one. I will not keep you as a slave. The only thing that I can allow is for you to serve some function in this Household until the danger with Lord Ulrich has passed." "Master, please i wish to remain as Your slave. i do not wish to be anything else in Your Household. i don't know how to be anything else. Please don't release me" "zara, please this matter is not up for discussion. I can not allow you to be a slave any longer. I was wrong to even begin to keep you as one. I am sorry for creating this confusion within you. you deserve so much more than being a slave. you should be demanding to be restored to your rightful place in society. Not sitting in my lap begging me to be a mere slave." Tears welled up more in my eyes as He continued speaking His words. It was clear to me that Master simply didn't understand that it wasn't slavery that i had grown to love but rather submission itself. i had to find a way to make Him see that was what i wanted more than any thing else. i would have to think upon how to go about making Him see that. In that next moment, Master picked me up form His lap and set me upon my feet before Sir Kern. He stood up and didn't look me in the eye but instead spoke directly to Sir Kern. "Take zara to the tailor and have some clothes given to her to wear. See to it that she is assigned living quarters. I, also, want her to shadow Tara for a few days. I want her to learn how to work in the kitchens. Perhaps there the My people won't bother her." "Yes, M'Lord, I will see to Your orders. *looks in my direction* Come with me zara and I'll see that His orders are carried out." "zara, there is one other thing. you may no longer call me Master. You are to call me Lord Elrik like everyone else in my Household. I know you don't understand this right now why I am doing this but I assure you that this is for the best." i didn't understand but also knew that i was in no position to argue my point for the time being. Sir Kern led me out of Lord Elrik's quarters and was taken to the people i was to see. Some of the staff still looked at me with fear in their eyes as i walked past them. When i was shown to my quarters, i collapsed to the floor in a fit of tears. Once again life was changing on me and i didn't understand why. Sir Kern offered me his shoulder to cry on and i accepted it because in that moment that is what i needed. "It will be okay zara. Lord Elrik only wishes what is best for you. I am sure His intent is not to inflict upon you this pain. I know you are hurt right now and don't understand. Hell I don't understand it. It is not for us to question Him though. You may come to me at any time if someone starts to hassle you. I take my oaths seriously. I do realize He meant if Lord Ulrich causes problems but you need someone right now." Those words just made me cry more. He held me tight in his arms and tried to soothe me. There really wasn't any soothing me right then. This was just one more thing in my life that i had no control over. When was i going to be able to control my life? "Please let me thank you Sir Kern for your comforting words. i am sorry for having dampened your shoulder. i am very confused and upset right now. i feel like everything i have ever known or thought i knew has been pulled out from under me. i don't expect you to understand why not being a slave is upsetting to me. i enjoy being a slave. It makes sense to me. It completes me and i don't need the approval or disproval of my people to know what it is that i want." "I know zara but right now there is no changing His mind. Give me some time to think of something and I will help you. I don't know why I feel so compelled to do this but I know that your heart wants to not be separated from Him. We didn't travel all that way in the dead of night to give you something that you truly don't want. I do understand it isn't being a slave you miss but the service that a slave does for their Master. I don't know what is going on in Lord Elrik's mind right now but I assure you. I will find a way for you to return to things as they were." i hugged Sir Kern a bit harder upon hearing those words. That was what i needed to hear. Finally someone understood me and what it was i wanted. This day was going to change my life forever. Sir Kern gave me a few moments to compose myself and took me to the tailor to be fitted for some clothing. i was given some hand me down for moment but even those had to be altered a bit on account of my tail. i didn't want it trapped under the cloth. i wasn't accustomed to wearing much so this in itself was a change. i over heard one of the sewing ladies complaining about having to make the special opening for my tail to fit through. i calmly walked up to the lady who made the comment and took up one of the bolt of lace and took some chord and tied it around her waist. i then asked her to sit down on that and see how she felt. "Now tell me how comfortable it would if you had to sit on that unable to move it because your garments were in the way. i doubt you would find it comfortable. my tail is similar. It is not something i really want to sit on." Sir Kern and the other ladies tried not to laugh but it was funny. Even the lady i had done that to was laughing. Sir Kern then gave me a stern look. "i'm sorry i know i was just trying to make a point but i shouldn't have done in this manner." "It's okay zara. I think all of us needed to be reminded a bit that *giggles* all of us have some place in the garments that we need a little extra room." The tailor pointed at Sir Kern and made a gesture that indicated he needed a bit more room in the groin area. i noticed him turn bright red while the rest of us just giggled. Sir Kern took me to the kitchens after the tailors were done with me to meet up with Tara. "Tara, Lord Elrik, wishes zara to shadow you for the next couple of days to learn to work in the kitchens like the other girls. I trust that you will show her the proper way to serve in the dining hall as well." "I will do as Lord Elrik asks Sir Kern. I will show zara around and make sure that she makes the adjustment to this smoothly. Come, zara, let me show you around. I am sure the others will want to get to know you too." i followed Tara and Sir Kern left to return to his normal duties. He promised to check back later that day on me. i was nervous but knew that Tara wouldn't steer me wrong. She was a likeable girl and was sweet. She introduced me one by one to each of the other girls who after the initial shock wore off they began to warm up to me. This was a beginning of a whole new life and i was scared as hell. i had been a slave for so long that i wasn't sure i could be any thing else. This was undiscovered country for me but i was willing to give it a shot. If i was to get back to where i truly wanted to be this was merely a stepping stone. It was a really long day for me and i was disappointed that Lord Elrik was not among the dinners that evening. Tara kept me busy running back and forth between tables replenishing the bread loaves. It was a simple enough tasks to do and one that gave the Lord's people a chance to get to know me. Sir Kern came and escorted me back to my quarters when my day was through. i was rather surprised to find that no one else was going to be sharing my room with me. i had thought not seeing anyone earlier was just a fluke. i started the fire in my fireplace as there was a chill in the air and asked him to sit with me for a while. i wasn't quite ready to be alone just yet with my thoughts. i asked Sir Kern many questions about life here and he answered them all for me. He didn't seem in a rush to get any where. i must have dozed off during one of his more lengthy explanations and found a blanket wrapped about me when i awoke that next morning. i thought that was very sweet of him to do. A part of me was really missing Lord Elrik but knew deep down that some how there was a lesson to be learned in this. i was going to hold my head up high and not let it show that i missed Him. In my heart, i knew that He had to be hurting on some level as well or He would not have avoided the dinning hall last night. i knew that i could get through this a day at a time. i made my way to the kitchen and was soon met by Tara and others as the morning meal was taken into the hall and served. Lord Elrik was not among the dinners again. It was no big surprise to me as i knew He often took His breakfast in His chambers. i saw Tara slip away with a tray for a few moments. i knew where she was headed with it. my eyes followed her until she disappeared around the corner. And so ends Chapter 6. Captive Ch. 07 Tara turned around and came back stopping right in front of me. She told me to sit the pitcher in my hand down on the table and take the tray to Lord Elrik promptly. i didn't hesitate to comply with Tara's instructions. i had been looking for a reason to go Him, and she had just given me a reason that He could not see as a ruse just to see Him. Sir Kern was just leaving His chambers when i approached with the tray. He knocked on the door and announced that food was here for Him and departed quickly. Lord Elrik was surprised to see me holding His tray of food. He sternly instructed me to just set the tray on the table and leave. "Lord Elrik, may i please be permitted to serve You this meal properly?" "No, zara, I know that you are probably needed back at the dinning hall. I would prefer that you not be sent with My tray again. It's nothing you have done. I just don't think it's a good idea. Please go now." my body was trembling both with rage and sadness as He said those words to me. i tried not to let Him see that and left as He instructed me to do. i managed to hold it together until i was safely out of ear range before sinking down to the floor to cry. i didn't understand what i had done to make Him reject me like this. Was i not obedient enough? Was i too willful? Was i not pleasing enough to suit His needs? Was i not human enough for Him? i was just brushing my tears aside when Sir Kern found me slumped in the floor. i suspect the way that my cat person cries had unnerved one of the other staff members. i didn't want this getting back to Lord Elrik. i did not want a reason to be told that i couldn't even be a part of His Household. Sir Kern kneeled down next to me and as soon as he touched my shoulder i began to cry once more. i couldn't help myself. i was simply that upset and torn up inside. i felt myself being pulled into Sir Kern's arms to cry. He stroked my back and told me to let it all out. i am sure that time anyone could hear my crying, but i was beyond caring at that point. i felt so rejected by the Man who once professed to want me as His slave. This was a man who had spoken words of love to me when held in His embrace. How does one go from that one moment to feeling nothing the next? Lord Elrik poked His head around the corner and saw me in Sir Kern's arms crying. Sir Kern waved Him to come over to us but He just turned on His heels and walked the other way. i could hear a sigh from Sir Kern but didn't see what had caused it. When my tears had subsided again, Sir Kern helped me to my feet and sent me to my room to make myself presentable again for work. After i made myself presentable, i went back to work in the dinning hall serving as i had been shown how. Tara looked at me a bit with concern and pulled me aside in the kitchen. She told me that i couldn't let anyone here know that i was upset. She told me that i needed to act indifferent to Lord Elrik for now. i told Tara that i understood and assured her that i would focus on my new duties here. Tara gave me a huge hug and told me that i wasn't alone as i had her friendship. That meant quite a bit to me as it had been a long time since i had a friend. Most people at Lord Ulrich's Household had been too afraid of me to ever offer friendship to me. i resigned myself to the fact that Lord Elrik no longer wanted me as His slave. i would probably never know His reasons for releasing me like He did. i couldn't spend my days asking all the if questions that floated around inside my head. Sure it was revelations that my heart wasn't agreeing to yet, but my brain knew that it was pretty clear. Sir Kern looked for a chance to get Lord Elrik alone all day to talk to Him about what had happened earlier in the day. Finally right before dinner, he got his chance to corner Him. He wanted to speak his mind where zara was concerned because he knew the girl was truly hurting and was confused. There had to be a logical reason or explanation. "M'Lord, I do not presume to understand things right now. I do not know what You hope to gain from setting zara free. I'm not questioning You out right but rather Your judgment in this instance. I do know that there is a young woman who is hurting right now. I do know that she is very confused by this." "Sir Kern if that is the case then it would be best that you not even bring this topic up again with Me. I have my reasons and I'm not going to share them with you or anyone else right now and that includes zara. I'm not in the habit of explaining Myself and I'm not going to start now. You will see to it that zara is not assigned to bring Me My tray or serve Me in the hall. I think that would be for the best. I don't wish to complicate matters further or give the girl false hopes of returning to what she once was. zara is not my slave and I will not keep her as one." "M'Lord, please at least explain to her why You don't with to keep her as a slave. Can't You see that not knowing is hurting her? Do You not even care what this is doing to her? Men risked their lives to abduct her from Lord Ulrich and she went from being Your prisoner, to Your slave, and now You have just up and set her free without so much as reason. she is so very confused and quite frankly so am I." "Sir Kern, if you honor your position in My house you will never again question Me on this matter. This matter is not open for discussion. As I had explained before, zara was taken as payment for a debt. What I choose to do with the spoils is My business. This conversation is over and perhaps you should make yourself scarce for a few days from My sight. I don't wish to have this talk again. Do not press Me on this matter again." "Very well M'Lord. As You wish. Your orders will be relayed to the kitchens." With that said Sir Kerns turned to leave without asking for permission to do so. He was angry that his long time friend and Lord was being like this. He didn't like what had transpired the last few days. What he saw was pain and misunderstanding that wasn't just on zara's part either. His Lord was being so stubborn right now. Lord Elrik sunk down into His chair as soon as Sir Kern was gone. He let out a huge sigh and held His head in His hands. He wanted to be angry at Sir Kern but knew deep down knew that His long time friend was right. zara did deserve an explanation as to why He had released her, but He wasn't prepared to give her one just yet. He knew that He was hurting her and quite possibly breaking her kitty heart. Lord Elrik had his reply from His messenger and knew that He couldn't allow things to go on as they were. Lord Elrik wasn't about to tell His people that He was negotiating the return of zara to her people just yet. zara's Father wasn't just an ambassador but was one of the Cat People's Princes. He was the youngest son but still of the royal bloodline. That was something He had not told any one including Sir Kern. He was being very careful with His negotiations with the Cat People as He did not want them to think that He was treating her as Lord Ulrich had done. He wanted zara to be happy and well adjusted to living a normal life in a Household. He was not sure that she would be happy living with her own people, but He owed it to her to make contact with them. He wanted to give her some life skills that she would not learn if she was bound to Him as a slave like Lord Ulrich had done to her. He held His head in His hands for a while trying to clear His thoughts of zara. He was finding that quite difficult to do. He had to try and forget that He did care for her and was falling in love with her. A part of Him knew that He had truly had begun to love her. Lord Elrik was a nobleman and doubted that zara's people would approve of Him for a potential mate for her. He had to forget the moments that T/they had shared T/together. What other choice did He have presently? There was not a choice as far as He could tell. To keep her as His slave would have only bonded her to Him more, and that would have made what ever future impossible between them if her people demanded her return home. In another part of the Lord Elrik's Household, Sir Kern was talking with Tara and some of the other kitchen staff well out of reach of zara's hearing. He didn't want zara to know about Lord Elrik's orders from any one but him. It pained him to be carrying out these orders but he also valued his position. Tara said that she would find a way to see that zara would not be put in a position where she might have to go against those orders. Sir Kern was thankful that Tara was so understanding and thoughtful. Sir Kern told Tara to have zara serve him that evening in his chambers as he was not going to be dining in the hall with everyone else that night. He told Tara that he wished to discuss some things with zara since he was going away for a few days. He didn't need another run with Lord Elrik. He wanted that to come from him and not some member of the staff. "Sir Kern, I am glad that zara has someone looking out for her besides me. It pains me to see her so sad. she really tries to hide it up it shows at unexpected moments. Others notice but will not comment on it as not to make her feel any worse. Please if you can bring some joy back to her life do so." "I promise you, Tara, that I will do what I can. That is all I can promise anyone. I honestly think that there really is only one thing that will make her happy and He is being stubborn." "I think that is all that anyone can do. I'll have her bring your tray after the first group is served here in the hall. That is always the largest bunch we get and when we need the most hands available. Lord Elrik usually joins the hall with the second wave when He does not ask for a tray brought to His chambers." "That sounds good to me Tara. Thank you for helping me with this." Things got back to normal in the kitchen shortly after Sir Kern left. Tara informed zara discretely that i was going to be serving Sir Kern later in his chambers and that he wished to talk to me. i had a clue as to what it was about. i did notice that i was starting to count down the minutes until that conversation. i noticed that Lord Elrik decided to join everyone in the dinning hall for dinner that night shortly before the second waves of diners. There were plenty of other tables in need of being taken care of so i could realistically avoid looking in His direction as much as possible. Tara tapped me on the shoulder when it was time to Sir Kern his tray. i had to admit to myself that i was a bit nervous about what this conversation might be about. i made my way to Sir Kern's room without running into many of the Household staff. i was sure that those that i did pass by wondered who the tray was for. Most of the staff knew that Lord Elrik had taken dinner with in the hall and not His room that night. They had noticed the absence of Sir Kern but that was not uncommon if he was on a mission. i soon found myself outside of Sir Kern's room and was knocking on his door. Sir Kern ushered me into the room and bid me sit with him and eat with him. i noticed then that the tray was prepared for two people. Tara seemed to think of everything. Sir Kern made idle chit chat for a while as we sat before the fire and ate. i was tense and nervous and i was sure that Sir Kern was picking up on that. "zara, I asked you to have this conversation in private because I have a feeling that this is going to hurt you tremendously. I, myself, am rather upset with Lord Elrik and his recent behavior. I do not know why He released you and He refuses to even talk to me about it. I suspect it has a good deal to do with what He revealed to us the other day. Is there any reason you can think of that He would believe that it could not continue?" "i have thought of little else to be honest Sir Kern. i do not know who my Father was but i suspect that he must have been of some importance to have been among the group of ambassadors. Perhaps it is that. i personally could care less about who my parents were or weren't. They were not the people that raised me. i am a slave...was a slave. i don't know how to be anything else Sir Kern. i am thankful for my position in this Household as it is giving me a chance to get to know the wonderful people of this House. Deep inside it does not feel right though." "zara, I suspect that your Father may be the reason Lord Elrik has done such a turn about on you. I don't currently have proof of it but I don't know what else could be the reason. He seemed so happy with you. We didn't travel in the dead of night to capture you without there being some strong reason why. I promise you that I intend to find out. I hate seeing you hurting like this if there really isn't a need for it." "Thank you for your kindness Sir Kern. i don't know how i could ever repay you. i do know that i am most great full for your honesty. i know there is more that you need to tell me. I'm not blind or without some understanding. i know that Lord Elrik doesn't wish me to serve Him besides in the capacity i find myself in now. The look upon your face tells me that this is true." "zara, Lord Elrik has requested, no demanded, that you not bring Him his tray in the morning and that you do not serve Him in the hall." "i suspected so much Sir Kern. Thank you for telling me." i stared into the fire then. i was feeling a bit lost and now had confirmation that my former Master no longer wished for me to serve Him in any capacity. Sure i worked in His Household, but i was just like any of the others at this point in His mind. i was certain that i would cry and sure enough i did as soon as Sir Kern touched my shoulder. He pulled me into his arms and let me cry. This was becoming a habit...me crying in his arms. i don't know how long i cried in his arms. i let everything that was bothering me come out in those tears until i became exhausted. i allowed myself to start to drift off to sleep in His arm. i did not intend though to fall asleep in his chambers for the entire night. i awoke that next morning with my head upon his chest and a blanket tucked around me. i was a little startled to be the there as i could tell that i was on his bed as i opened my eyes and stretched. Sir Kern was all ready awake when i stirred and placed a hand on my shoulder to calm me. "zara, it is all right. Neither of us have done any wrong this past night. I covered you with a blanket when you began to shiver. you fell asleep in my arms and i picked you up and set you on the bed beside me. I have taken no advantage of you as you and I both still wear our clothing. I didn't think that you needed to be alone last night." "Thank you Sir Kern. i do not know how to repay your kindness towards me." "It is what friends do for one another zara." "i am happy to call you friend then if this is the kind of thing that friends do for one another. i have never really had a friend before. i had a few playmates when i was young child but after that fateful day they all turned their backs upon me. Living in Lord Ulrich's Household had been very lonely. i rarely saw anyone but Lord Ulrich and even He was a cold man." "I can only imagine and I am sorry you have had to experience that loneliness. I have never had to go through that." "Can i ask a favor of you, Sir Kern?" "Yes, but on one condition." "What would that be?" "Drop the Sir when we are speaking. No need for formalities between friends. When not around staff and others why not speak as friends do?" "Very well then Kern. Would you be able to send a message to my mother...the one who raised me without anyone finding out? i would like to have the book that i was given a few years ago. If she is still there she would have it in safe keeping for me." "I will see what I can do to make that happen. I know that I would have to be careful in doing so. I wouldn't want it getting back to the Lord Elrik or to Lord Ulrich. I think I know a way though. I will let you know if I am able to get that book for you. I do know that I need to make myself scarce around the Household for a few days until things calm down." "Thank you, Kern, for considering this. It would mean a lot to me." i stretched a bit and slid off the bed to look outside the window. i checked to see where the sun was in the sky and soon realized that i needed to get cracking if i was to be at work during the morning meal at all. i saw that the tray had all ready been picked up and was sitting upon the table near the door. i collected the tray to take with me to the kitchens. "i need to be going Kern so that i will not be missed at the morning meal." "Let me check in the hallway. I would hate for you to run into someone and they not understand you being here this early in the morning. I had sent no word for a tray this morning." Sir Kern ducked out into the hall and walked the hall for just a bit to check for any passer bys. He didn't see anyone in that hall and soon i was on my way to my chambers to freshen up a bit. i didn't see Lord Elrik arrive at Sir Kern's chambers shortly after i left but He had seen me leave. i was saved from the scowl on His face and the anger that would soon rain down upon Sir Kern. And so ends Chapter Seven.... Captive Ch. 08 Lord Elrik didn't even knock on Sir Kern's door. He simply walked right into his chambers that morning. His actions fueled by being upset about seeing zara walking out of his chambers. Sir Kern was startled a bit by his door opening like as it did. "Did you forget something zara?" Sir Kern didn't look up at first and simply assumed that it was zara returning quickly for something. He was further startled to see anger on Lord Elrik's face as he burst through the unlocked door. Lord Elrik looked like a man on a mission and Sir Kern quickly realized that Lord Elrik must have seen zara in the hall leaving his room. He quickly composed himself for the conversation that was sure to come. "I hardly think that Your Lord has forgotten something, but I think you have forgotten your place in My House." "It's not what You think, M'Lord. she was picking up my dinner tray from last night M'Lord." "Do you take Me for a fool? she was dressed in the same clothes as yesterday and looked as if she needed to still comb her hair. What have you done to her?" "I haven't done any thing M'Lord." "Don't lie to me. I'm not stupid" "If You want to know the truth M'Lord. I talked to zara about her life before coming here. I am only trying to help her M'Lord." "You can help her by staying out of this. This matter doesn't concern you. When are you going to get that through your head?" "You made it my concern when you asked me to look after her M'Lord. You can just toss a human aside like they are nothing. zara is a human being beneath the fur. You of all people should realize that." Lord Elrik moved quickly and shoved Sir Kern up against a wall and held him there. He was greatly angered by the words Sir Kern has just said because He knew it was the truth. He has shoved zara aside but there were reasons that He wasn't quite ready to share even with Sir Kern. "Don't you ever tell Me again what I should and should not realize. Stay out of My business. I don't want to see you in My presence for a long time. You will remove yourself from this House. I don't care where you go but you are to stay the hell away from zara from now on. I'll have someone else look after her. I thought I could trust you but obviously you have your nose where it doesn't belong." "So You are going to take away one more person that zara has come to trust? You are not thinking straight M'Lord. What ever it is that You are trying to hide its is going to come out. Can't You see that You are hurting her. Who cares who her father is. If that is why You have rejected her then You are not better than Lord Ulrich." "Get the hell out of My House! Don't ever come back here again. Don't ever compare Me to that man." "I'll go M'Lord. I can't stomach seeing You destroy her further. You are so blind M'Lord. she don't care who she is. she only knows that she loves You." "Love means nothing when it comes to station Sir Kern. If I am right about who her father is. zara will not be allowed to remain here with Me. I am trying to save her that heart break now." "Considering that she was left in Lord Ulrich's household as a child I doubt that her family cares that much about station. I'm sorry M'Lord for everything You perceive I have done wrong. I am just looking out for the people I care about the most. I care about You M'Lord and about zara. I can't help but care for her." Lord Elrik loosened his grip upon Sir Kern with a growl on his face. Just then there was a knock on Sir Kern's door. Lord Elrik sat down in a chair before the fire. He was tired of fighting about this matter with Sir Kern. "I am looking for M'Lord. Is M'Lord with you Sir Kern?" "M'Lord is here and you may enter." The messenger walked in and presented the message to Him. He read is quietly and shifted in His seat. He did not have a happy look upon His face. "Is there a messenger waiting for a reply?" "M'Lord an emissary came with this message. He is dinning in the hall with his men. I thought that it would be prudent to see that they were fed first." "I want you to go down to the hall and make sure that zara is not seen serving. Tell Tara that I want zara in the kitchen until I come down." "Yes, M'Lord, I will see to it that Your instructions are carried out." The messenger left the room then to carry out the orders. Sir Kern waited to hear who the visitors were. He didn't have to wait long. "Well all of the speculation as to whether or not zara is who I think she is will come to an end when I go downstairs and meet with her Father." "He's here M'Lord" "Yes, he is. Instead of sending a messenger back he came himself to attend to the matter. I know I told you to get out of my House moments ago but right now I need you. I need the Captain of the Guard to bring zara into the hall dressed in something nice. I know that her clothes should be ready by now. I had a set of clothing made for just this day. The tailors should have it. Please stop by there and take them to zara in the kitchens. Take the back kitchen exit and around to the dinning hall and present her to Me." "Yes, M'Lord and thank You for charging me with this task for You. I know we have had our differences lately but I truly only what is best for her. You are good for her M'Lord." "I can't think about what is good and what isn't at the moment for zara. I have her Father sitting in My dinning hall. I don't want to keep him waiting too much longer. Can the angry words we have shared be water under the bridge until after this pressing matter is settled?" "Consider it forgotten all together M'Lord." Lord Elrik composed himself before entering the dinning hall. He wasn't sure what to expect upon meeting zara's Father. This could be good or it could be bad. He took a deep breathe and strolled to the table where several Cat Person's were seated. "Greetings gentleman and welcome to My home. I hope that My staff has been treating you well and that your food needs are being met. I am Lord Elrik, Lord of these lands." The one not dressed in leather and chain maille spoke first. He was dressed in leather that was a contrast to his fur. "I am Zarn, official Emissary of the Cat People. I am here on official business. My men and I have been given a nice hot meal which is most welcome after our long journey. Please join us and we can begin to discuss why I have come." "I would be honored to join you and your men, Emissary Zarn." Lord Elrik motioned for food and drink to be brought to Him at the table. Tara brought the items over to the table and discretely passed Him a note concerning zara. It indicated that zara had been successfully removed from the dinning hall without discovery. They had been making idle chit chat when Sir Kern entered the dinning hall with zara on his arm. Zarn stopped speaking as soon as he saw her. There were a few tense moments until they were at the table. Lord Elrik couldn't believe what a beauty zara was in the velvet gown He had made for this very day. "Emissary Zarn, may I offer you greetings and welcome. I am Sir Kern, Captain of M'Lord's guard. The lovely lady on my arm is zara. she recently came to this House as a guest of M'Lord's." zara looked across over those seated at the table and was a bit uneasy. These were her people but she knew so little about them. The last time she had seen one of her own people was right after the stable incident. Zarn was the first to stand. He threw his napkin upon the table in what appeared to be a fit of disgust. "Lord Elrik, You have a world of explaining to do. This woman has no business being in Your House. This is not where she is supposed to be. I demand that You explain Yourself!" "Emissary Zarn, I mean no disrespect to you or your people. As my man has explained zara is here as a guest. If you wish we may retire to my study to discuss this matter at length." "No, Lord Elrik, we will have this conversation here. You seem to have interfered in a matter that does not concern You. This woman is not supposed to be here. She belongs in Lord Ulrich's Household. I do not remember receiving word that Lord Ulrich wished to change our agreement. You have brought dishonor to Your House." It was zara who went over to Zarn and placed her hand upon his arm. "Please there are things that you do not understand. Things better explained not in front of all of these people whom this does not concern. There are many things that you need to know about me. Things that perhaps you were not told about." "Unhand me you filthy urchin. A guest would not smell of the kitchens. I am not easily made to believe lies. If you have something to say then say it here before all these people." "Very well then since you insist this be a public i will tell you how i came to live here in Lord Elrik's House. Five years ago, the man you seem to have such high regard for made me his personal slave. i was made to bend to his sadistic hunger in his chambers. My own people doomed me to that existence the day they did not return me to my people when they had the chance to. Lord Ulrich is a vile man and i am glad to be rid of him. Lord Elrik's men rescued me from that existence. i am thankful to be here and insisted upon earning my keep here." "You tell me lies woman! Lord Ulrich would not touch you in such a manner." "Emissary Zarn, zara is not telling a lie. Several of my men can confirm what she is saying. Lord Ulrich was under observation for several months before her rescue was attempted. Several of us were witness to how zara was treated. We have secreted within these walls one of the women who tended to zara after one of Lord Ulrich's nights of indulging his sadistic nature." It was Lord Elrik that spoke up on my behalf. i was a bit surprised that He had but was relieved as well. This man needed to understand the truth of my life in Lord Ulrich's House. "Bring forth your proof for I do not believe you. I demand a full inquiry into this matter. I will have Lord Ulrich brought before me as well." "Very well Emissary Zarn a full inquiry will take place. Sir Kern, see that messengers with full guard are sent to Lord Ulrich and bring him here. I will see that a messenger is sent to the King concerning these proceedings." A rush of activity began and quarters were assigned to Emissary Zarn and his men. It was going to be tense time until the inquiry could begin. Lord Elrik placed guards outside my quarters, and i was instructed to not roam the halls without an escort. i wasn't going to complain. i certainly didn't want to end up back in Lord Ulrich's House. That was the one place i never wished to see again. Sir Kern was sent on the journey with the messenger and a representative from Emissary Zarn's men to personally ensure that Lord Ulrich would be attending the proceedings into the matter. Lord Ulrich was none too happy about having to leave his House all over a chit who was once his slave. The man with Zarn was none to happy upon hearing the word slave out of Lord Ulrich's mouth. Sir Kern and the man chatted at length while Lord Ulrich went into furry of activity to prepare for the journey to Lord Elrik's lands. The King was going to be coming himself to meet with Emissary Zarn. He didn't like hearing that there was dispute of this nature. The King could be at Lord Elrik's in two weeks time. Lord Elrik set His House into full scale preparations for the King's arrival. This was no small matter to have the King involved in it. zara was forbidden from duties n the kitchen. Instead she was required to sit with the sewing ladies and learn to embroider and sew handkerchiefs and pillow cases. Truly woman's work but it would keep her mind occupied and she would be contributing to the House. she insisted that she earn her keep somehow since she was unable to serve as she truly wanted to. Emissary Zarn did not speak to zara any after the day in the dinning hall. The first time that zara tried to speak to him after the talk that lead to the inquiry doors were closed in her face and people scurried her back the way she came. she did not understand why she was being treated so. she hoped that the inquiry would prove that what she said was so and that she could return to what she had been doing prior to his arrival. Lord Elrik was arrested by Emissary Zarn and was being held captive in His own dungeon. He found some irony in it but none the less did not struggle overly much. He only wanted a better life for zara and wanted her Father to know what had become of his child. It was now apparent to Him that perhaps sending for her Father had been a mistake. Perhaps Sir Kern was right....maybe He should have allowed zara to continue as she was with Him but of her choice. He spent His days receiving messages and conducting His daily regimen from his cell. zara had attempted to visit Him once but she was barred from the dungeon by Emissary Zarn. Sir Kern acted as a messenger between them upon his return to the House. zara sent Him a rather lengthy note. Lord Elrik, i do thank You for what You have tried to do. It is, however, apparent to me that my Father for what ever reason wishes to have nothing to do with me. Yes, i am aware that Emissary Zarn is my Father. It is hard not to be aware of such when the staffs whisper about it in a manner in which i can still hear them speak. Do not fault them M'Lord for they do not realize just how sharp my hearing can be at times. i have made myself scare since the arrival of Lord Ulrich in this House. He has sent for me several times now and each time i have refused to go. This is to the dismay of Emissary Zarn as well. With the help of Sir Kern, i have made it known that i will not return to Lord Ulrich until the King stands in judgment of this matter and finds that i must be returned to my former Master. i do pray that i do not live to see such a day M'Lord for my heart, body, and soul still yearns for You. They will not let me below to see You and have asked Sir Kern to deliver this message to You. Tara has told me that You are being fed well at least. That is a relief to me. i will worry for You and for myself until this inquiry is finished. It is my hope that the King will see that i have a mind of my own and that i do not wish to be kept in incestuous enslavement with my Cousin. Sir Kern while he was at Lord Ulrich's House was able to retrieve the book that was given to me after the incident with the lad in the stable. It was not until i sat down to read it that i discovered a letter that has explained a good many things about myself to me. Far more than the book could ever reveal. i am not sure that even my Father knows of the letters existence but i will ask the King to submit it as evidence in my case. Sir Kern has had the scribes make a replica to give to the King. i pray for a just hearing and that the King is a just and honorable man. It has been told to me that He is. The tailors are making me several outfits. In exchange for them i am showing them how to craft a few things that my Mother in Lord Ulrich's House taught to me. It will help them make better use of the bolts of fabric and scraps that are laying about the House M'Lord. i know the value of a barter in times such as this. Be at peace M'Lord and know that my love is still here for You. Forever Yours, zara and so end chapter eight... Captive Ch. 09 Time passed in a flurry of activity at the House in preparation for the arrival of the King. Emissary Zarn and Lord Ulrich were both losing patience with me over my refusal to return to the service of Lord Ulrich immediately. my reply was always that i would await the out come of the King's official inquiry into the matter. There was no way that i was willingly going to return to Lord Ulrich's service. i had much dislike for that man. Sir Kern kept me company as much as he could and gave me news of Lord Elrik. The dungeon thankfully was not making Him ill and His spirits were still up despite having been imprisoned as He was. A bed at least was made and put into His cell so that He would not have to sleep upon the floor. That brought a blush to my face at the thought. i had a few wonderful memories of that very cell. Each night, Sir Kern and i talked about the things i was learning about my people in the book that he had returned to me. i was amazed at how much information was contained in the book and paid particular attention to the laws that were contained inside. We planned a bit of strategy from its information as well. Sir Kern was quickly becoming one of my best friends and the powers that be knew i needed someone looking after me. The most distressing part that i found was that the laws of my people did not allow me the status of an adult until two things occurred for women. i would either have to be married or be with child but preference was given to both since marriage among my people was not declared official until a child was conceived. The laws did state that a woman could be forced to marry the Father of her child if the woman's guardian demanded it. The laws had many loopholes though and Sir Kern was helping me to see through them. i could not marry as i was not in a position in which Lord Ulrich would give his blessing and permission for it. Lord Ulrich was my appointed guardian according to the laws of my people. Emissary Zarn kept pressing that detail upon me and that i should obey the laws regarding that. my position was that Lord Ulrich wasn't acting like a guardian but rather a slaver. There was nothing in the book that addressed the issue of being a slave but there was some for being held captive. Sir Kern helped me work an angle on that might prove helpful in my case. It was dependant on whether or not the King had knowledge of who my parents were. Royal captives were in a different light than non royals. Whether or not my parents had ever married or if my Father had claimed me as his had no bearing upon my birth rights according to my people's laws. i had a place in my chambers that i hid the book and the letter that no one knew about. i didn't want to trust that knowledge to anyone. Sir Kern did not even know where i kept them. He did know that i did not keep there where any one could stumble upon them. It had been his idea to hide them in the first place. Tara became a frequent visitor to my chambers. She told me about the latest gossip. All things over heard in the dinning hall. She did tell me that meals were tense between the three groups. None of them wanted to trust the other. It saddened me that things had come to this but there was no way that i was willingly going back to being Lord Ulrich's slave knowing what i knew now. i would sooner die. Sir Kern came up with an interesting way that i might be able to appeal to the King and have Lord Ulrich removed as my appointed guardian. It would mean appealing to the King's sense of honor when it came to protecting family bloodlines. First cousin's was too close as far as this King thought according to information Lord Elrik supplied to Sir Kern. Since Lord Ulrich wasn't acting as my Guardian which many of the household staff could attest to then the King might see fit to remove the Guardianship. Sir Kern helped me write a letter in appeal to the King. i would have the note delivered by Tara shortly after his arrival at the House. i hoped that the King would listen to me about the truth of who i was and what my true status was in Lord Ulrich's House. It wasn't a station by choice and it was one that insulted my family actually according to my people's laws. The laws didn't allow for royal blood to be treated in such a manner if they didn't choose that path. Sir Kern tutored me a bit on how to act and speak around the King and it was much like speaking to one's Master. i was even shown how to dance. i felt a little silly being shown these things simply for this but i was assured by many that Lord Elrik would hold for the King would hold at least one formal dinner with dancing. If i was to pull the station card then i would need to know how to properly act. i only knew the things that Lord Ulrich had taught me and that wasn't exactly meant for public. The night before the King's arrival Lord Elrik was returned to His chambers but under heavy guard. Sir Kern showed up at my door with a cloak and bid me to put it on, and carefully tuck my tail up into the cloak and to cover my head fully. He was taking me to see Lord Elrik and that was my disguise. Lord Elrik was being permitted a luxury – a woman. "Please don't ask questions at the moment zara. Simply do as I instruct and follow my lead. They are allowing Lord Elrik a woman, and she is to arrive hidden by this cloak. I was charged with her delivery. I am taking you to Him now. Please use what ever charms you have to make Him forget these last two weeks." "There is no need to even ask that of me Sir Kern. i would gladly go to Him. i hope that He will not be angry to see me and will embrace the moment." "In a code W/we devised years ago between us He indicated to me that He wished to see you. This is the only way. The guards other wise will not allow you to pass." i carefully bound my tail to my body so that it would not slip out of the cloak and betray us. i did not speak or show my face to the guards. It was luck that His guards at that time were human and not like me. Sir Kern quickly shoved me inside the chamber door with little announcement brought me before Lord Elrik. i was still bound in the cloak when Lord Elrik began to speak. "Thank you Sir Kern. You have done well in your task. Please if you would wait with the other guards so that I might have some time alone with the wench you have brought to Me." "Very well M'Lord, I hope that she will be to Your liking. Knock on the door three times when I am to collect her back." With that said Sir Kern turned and left U/us. Lord Elrik waited for the door to be locked once more before lowering the cloak's hood from my face. He cupped my face in His hands and kissed my lips. i could feel that His ability to not devour me where i stood was weak. i eagerly returned His kiss and wanted Him just as much as He wanted me. i softly pushed Him back from me to undo the cloak and let it fall to the floor. i eased out of my clothing without so much as a word or direction from Him. His eyes watched my every movement. i think He was a bit afraid that if He said anything i would disappear like some sort of mirage. It wasn't until i started to undo the ties on His pants that He spoke. "No, zara, I didn't have you brought to me for that. I had to see you in case this inquiry goes bad for either of U/us. I had to hold you in My arms once again if even for a few brief moments." "M'Lord, You may hold me in Your arms when i am done with You. i want to be with You. As You have said this may be O/our last time to be able to be together. Do not waste what has been given to U/us." With that said i undressed Him with a bit of urgency. i had no idea of how long W/we would have and i didn't want to waste a moment of it arguing with Him. i licked and kissed upon His lips. i nibbled and softly pulled at His earlobes. i licked and nibbled upon His neck and down His chest stopping to tease His nipples a bit. i heard Him emit a soft moan as i continued to lick and nibble down His body. It never ceased to amaze me how His body reacted to ever kiss and touch of mine. It gave me joy to see Him respond to me. my tongue rolled over His cock and slowly sucked Him into my mouth. He moaned a bit more as i continued to give His body the attention i knew He wanted from me and needed. It didn't take too long before He could no longer remain still beneath my attentions. He softly pulled me with Him upon the bed and put me upon my back. He began to kiss and caress my skin as i had done to His. He left a trail of kisses from my neck down to my stomach stopping only a moment to get me to move my legs apart and continued to kiss His way down to my clit. The whole time i was biting on my lip trying not to purr. i didn't want to give U/us away to the men outside that door. He noticed that i was struggling not to purr. He brought His lips up to mine and kissed me deeply letting His tongue roll over mine. His cock teased at my opening and i squirmed against Him wanting to impale myself on Him. He noticed my impatience and for once didn't keep me waiting. With a single motion He was inside me and i gripped Him with my pussy. Once again W/we were one and it felt very good. Soon W/we found a rhythm that suited O/our pleasure. i put my arms around Him and held Him to me as i neared my orgasm. i whispered in His ear that i was close and He told me to cum for Him. i didn't need any urging to do so. He captured my lips as soon as He felt the pulsing against His cock and kept kissing me until He felt me relax against Him. Soon after mine, He filled me with His seed. W/we wanted to lay there in our post coital bliss but the door to His chambers opened just then. W/we were both startled by it but didn't move from where W/we were. Firm arms drug Him off of me and i scrambled back from another set of arms that were trying to grab at me. i tried in vein to stop from being held by the intruders upon O/our time but was helpless to stop them. "Lord Elrik how dare you treat this girl as a whore. I allowed a whore to be sent to You....not her. I will not stand for this disregard of my orders. You were not to see zara again. And now I find her in Your bed." "Emissary Zarn, It is not I that treat zara poorly. I have given her a better life her in My House. I only wrote to you because I wanted to make her a permanent part of My Household. I want her for My bride." "she is not permitted to marry least of all You. She is still a child in the eyes of my people. Lord Ulrich is her guardian and You did not have His permission to have her here. You stole her like a common criminal. You have defiled her for the last time. Guards lock Him in the dungeon." i climbed up off the bed and away from my captors not caring that i was still naked and made no effort to cover myself. i calmly walked over to the Emissary and began speaking with him. i wanted to get him to see that he was hurting many by his actions. i could only hope that he would listen to me. i knew deep down that my words would probably fall upon deaf ears though. "Emissary Zarn, you know not what you do. Why must you continue to think of Lord Ulrich as some sort of Saint? He is a vile man with sadistic hungers. If i am still a child in the eyes of my people how can you wish to send me back to him? His attentions towards me is any thing but what one would have for a child unless they are sick." "I will not stand here and continue to listen to your lies. You bring shame to me as you always have. Perhaps you are nothing but a common whore who will spread her legs for any human who asks." "i am not a whore. i can not help some of the things that i have been made to do. You have no idea the life i have been forced to live. My own people have made me live among those not of my kind. Why are you ashamed of me?" "Guards lock this whore up too while you are at it. I will not have someone such as she talk to me like this. zara, you are a disgrace to your people." i soon found hands on my wrists and they were holding me firmly. i tried not to struggle as i knew it would be pointless to do so. i wasn't finished speaking though. i had to let my Father know that i knew who my Mother was. i knew deep down that my Father was blind to what he was doing. "i am not a disgrace Emissary Zarn. i do not know why you continue to shun your own daughter. Is it because my mother was not a Cat Person? Does my very existence disgust you? Is that why you force me to live where you have to realize i am being harmed?" With that said Emissary Zarn struck me about the face with his closed fist. i fell back against the bed. The guards who held me were a bit shocked as they lost their grip on my wrists. The next thing i was aware of was waking up in a cell in the dungeon and darkness was all around me. Once again my head was hurting and i didn't quite know where i was. .....and so ends Chapter Nine. Captive Ch. 10 A hand closed around my wrist and i was very startled by it. i tried to move away from the hand and another encircled my waist pulling me roughly against him. i blinked a few times and adjusted to the darkness of the room. i was back in the dungeon. i tried to move away from the hands on my body but His grip was firm. "zara, please stop squirming." "Why am i here in the cell with You? i thought my father didn't want U/us to have any thing to do with each O/other? i am confused." "I am just as confused as you are zara. His men tossed you in here with me. I think he was afraid to let you be alone since you hit your head pretty hard up stairs. you have been out cold for quite a while now." "What is with people knocking me out?" "I don't know. I am thankful to have you here with Me." i snuggled a bit closer and felt that He hadn't been given clothes. i smiled a bit and wiggled against Him. "zara, dear please stop wiggling." "Why? It is only You and i here in this cell. Why not make the most of what time W/we are given." "You really are a sin full creature." With that said He showered me with kisses and began to lick and nibble down my neck. i smiled as i reached my hand between U/us to caress Him in my hand. i loved the feel of Him in my hand. i could hear His soft moans of pleasure as i touched Him. i enjoyed hearing Him as much as touching Him. His hand was caressing my body and soon found its way to my clit. Teasing and pinching it between His fingers until i was squirming beneath His touch. i soon found myself on my back beneath Him. His cock was teasing at my opening for a few brief moments before He plunged deep inside me. i wrapped my legs around Him as to encourage Him to stay within. He didn't really need any urging as He wanted this as much as i did. All i felt at that moment was the pleasure W/we were sharing. He showered me with more kisses as He felt me moving more against Him. He must have sensed that i was going to cum and He was right. He was holding me in His arms following O/our tempest of pleasure when the door to the dungeon opened. W/we were still entwined around one another. Thankfully this time it was Sir Kern who found U/us entwined together. "M'Lord, I hate to disturb You but I needed to let You know that that the King has arrived. Clothing is brought down from Y/your rooms and will B/both be brought before him within the hour. Emissary Zarn is all ready being an ass." "Thank you for informing U/us Sir Kern. Did the King get the letter zara prepared for him?" "Yes, he did M'Lord. That is why Y/you are being seen tonight." With a rush of movement Lord Elrik and i were pulled in opposite directions to bath and dress to be brought before the King. Sir Kern had Tara come and attend me so that I had someone that i knew with me. i was allowed to stop for a moment at my chambers and enter alone so that i could collect the book and the copy of the document that i had found contained inside. i gathered my thoughts as we walked to the Lord's study. i was told that the King would receive U/us there. Lord Ulrich was deep in conversation with Emissary Zarn when i was brought right up to the doors to be announced. Lord Ulrich noticed me first and moved to be by my side i hissed quite loudly and it startled him. Emissary Zarn gave me a look that said behave. i was behaving as i didn't out right deck either one of them. Sir Kern announced me to the King. Lord Elrik was all ready inside the study speaking in hushed whispers. The door was promptly closed on Lord Ulrich and Emissary Zarn before they could walk into the room behind me. i was thankful for this some what private audience with the King. i quickly got to the point and brought forth what evidence i had concerning who my parents were and talked about my life in Lord Ulrich's House. i held nothing back despite my embarrassment at times. i answered all of the questions of the King. Lord Ulrich and Emissary Zarn were admitted to the room together. They could not help but notice that the King had just asked me to sit on the seat to his left. To be seated in the King's presence signified a protected status when at an inquiry such as this. They both shifted a bit nervously on their feet. They knew that this did not bode well for either of them. "Emissary Zarn, Lord Ulrich, gentlemen, We bid you welcome to this inquiry. We trust that you will not be wasting Our time trying do deny a few things that We all know to be fact. We have had a document come into Our hands that explains a good many things to Us. Emissary Zarn, We are surprised that you would allow your daughter to live under such conditions. Before you utter a single word We have spoken with several people from Lord Ulrich's household. All confirm that zara was not treated in a manner befitting her station as your daughter. We have an official document confirming that you, Emissary Zarn, were married to zara's Mother. Thus making her exempt from any such stations as the one you placed her in according to the peace accord signed by Us and your Father, Emissary Zarn." "I assure you King Edward that my Father did not know of my marriage to zara's Mother. It was in secret and I believed all proof of said marriage to not exist." "So you do not deny to Us that zara is indeed your daughter by your legal wife and her mother then?" "No, I do not deny it. I was lead to believe by Lord Ulrich that since I did not have permission from you to marry his niece that the marriage was null and void." "Lord Ulrich's niece was an adult at the time of the marriage. Thus did not have to have permission except if she wished to maintain a certain social status in Our court. The marriage is recognized by Us as legal and there by nullifying any custodial agreement made with out Our permission. Lord Ulrich will have to find some other amusements. zara will not be returning to his House now or ever." "You can't do this My King. zara was promised to me." "Guards seize Lord Ulrich and take him to the dungeon. We will be trying him for the acts done to Our zara. Emissary Zarn this is the last time you will be seeing your daughter. We believe you to be a treat to your daughter. A messenger has all ready been sent to your Father concerning this matter and We are sure that there will be hell to pay upon your return home. To treat ones child like this is horrendous." With that said, Lord Ulrich was escorted to the dungeon. One could hear him yelling down the halls and carrying on about how he had been lied to. i was sure that he was lied to. i think all of U/us were. i was wondering if the King knew exactly who my Father truly was. "Emissary Zarn, one more thing that We do not understand is why you never bothered to notify Us of your status within your Kingdom. Surely a Prince would have gotten a quicker inquiry than a Emissary. We guess that you wished to deceive everyone including zara's Mother. You should have told her that you were the first son not the last son. We guess your deceit is in on account of the fact that you were embarrassed to have fallen for one of Our subjects. You will be lucky if your Father allowed you to travel within Our Kingdom again without a better escort. Our ladies are forbidden to you from this day forward and that includes Our wenches. Guards, if you will please see to it that Prince Zarn is escorted to his chamber and that his men prepare to leave. We wish them gone by the next night." Prince Zarn protested at being treated like a commoner by the King but soon realized that he was in a lot of trouble. To be asked to leave a Court was a bad thing. To be told to leave and held under guard until leaving was even worse. He knew he was in for it when he returned home. His Father was not going to be happy about this at all. "Lord Elrik, Your petition before this court to become the legal guardian of Princess zara is denied. We wish to explain why We are denying Your petition before You speak to object. We are denying it because We are granting a petition seeking permission to marry. We received a petition on Your behalf that asked for her permission to marry You, Lord Elrik. This petition was given to Us by Sir Kern, whom is the Captain of Your Guard. Do not be angry with the man as he was only seeking what was in the best interest of Y/you B/both. We agree that a union between Y/you will be a good thing." i could see Sir Kern nervously shifting from foot to foot. i wasn't surprised that he had petitioned the Court. i had been tempted to do the very same thing but thought i shouldn't push my luck. i could see that Lord Elrik was a bit in shock from news that i was a Princess. To be honest, i was a bit in shock about it too. Lord Ulrich had a lot of explaining to do now to the Courts for his treatment of me. "Lord Elrik, We do hope that You will not take to rescuing others by kidnapping them from their place of guardianship. Next time, should there ever be a next time, petition Our Court for an audience and We will hear the matter promptly. With Lord Ulrich being unable to give his blessing upon this union, We will be taking temporary guardianship of Princess zara. The Princess will, however, remain in residence here and will be married within a season. You will send word to her Grandfather and invite him to attend the ceremony. We, of course, will be moving the Court here for a time and will see that accommodations are prepared for Our continued stay." "Yes, my King, I will do as You have asked of Me. I must say that it is a shock to find out that zara is a Princess but I assure that I will take good care of her. I do hope that her Grandfather, the King, will not think this a poor match since I am not of high nobility but I will assure him that I love his daughter and only want what is best for her." i could feel the happiness coming from Lord Elrik and the King. This was a winning situation all around. Both of Them were getting something They were wishing for. i wasn't quite sure what a season at Court entailed but was sure that E/everyone would show me along the way. "We have all ready begun negotiations for the union. You as the suitor need only continue them with Our continued involvement. Do not fret about Your station within Our Kingdom for I assure You that I wish to keep an alliance with her Grandfather, and who better than the man who rescued her from a cruel existence. That fact alone does a world of good to Your standing. Depending on how Lord Ulrich's trail goes, You may be finding Yourself with more land and a better title. We will not make any promises just yet concerning that though." i was really excited about how my life was turning out. i was really thankful to King Edward to listening to the things that i had to say in my letter to him. i could see that Lord Elrik was pleased as well by these turn of events. Sir Kern couldn't help but smile as Lord Ulrich and Prince Zarn were getting just what they deserved. There was still Lord Ulrich's trail to get through but i knew that despite its unpleasantness that i would be safe and comforted. The King sat and talked with me alone for a while. i was surprised at how at ease i felt in his presence. Some folks told me that being around a King could really make one nervous. i, however, just saw a man not a King. i still spoke to him with respect but i treated him like a person. i think he found that rather refreshing. Tara was going to be assigned to me until a lady in waiting could be chosen properly. The King talked to me about what the upcoming season would be like and what to expect from Court life once the Queen had arrived. He didn't want there to be too many surprises. He, also, prepared me for the fact that some of the Queen's ladies had never been around a Cat Person before other than from a distance at Court. This would be a new experience for them as well and to have some patience. The Queen would have a private audience with her when she had arrived and was settled. i half expected the hallway to be empty except for the guards when the King finally dismissed me. i was happy to see Lord Elrik standing there talking with Sir Kern. It was like He was waiting for me. Without a word, He scooped me up in His arms and carried me off to His chambers. i tried to contain a smile but i couldn't. The guards pretended not to see U/us go off T/together. Once the door to His chambers was closed He set me back down on my feet. The first thing i did was kneel up beside Him. i don't think He expected me to do that but He smiled down at me and caressed my face in His hand. "you are such a treasure Princess zara. Never did I suspect that I had given My heart to one so noble. I do hope that you can love this lowly Lord." "M'Lord, You will never be lowly to me. A title in all honestly means nothing to me for i was not raised to be a Princess. It is foreign to me. i do know one thing that i do want with all of my heart. i wish to serve You. i don't care if it has to be a special secret that the servants whisper about. i simply wish to be Yours." "you are Mine zara. you always have been Mine and soon I will not have to hide what it is that I feel for you. I do hope that your Grandfather will give U/us his blessing but even if he does not you will be Mine." "W/we don't need the permission of some man that neither of U/us has ever met. i know that the King wishes for U/us to seek permission and W/we can do so simply to make the Court happy, but as You have said no matter what i will be Yours." He leaned over and kissed me firmly on the lips. He went and sat down beside the fire and patted His lap for me to sit upon it. i smiled at Him and nuzzled against Him while listening to the beat of His heart. "Master, how may Your slave serve You tonight?" "Well for starters zara...you are over dressed to be sitting in My lap." .....and so ends Chapter Ten. Captive Ch. 11 Lord Elrik ushered her off His lap with those words and zara quickly undressed and crawled back up into His lap. He smiled at her as she did because there was no fear now of being interrupted because Sir Kern posted a guard. zara wiggled upon His lap and grinned as she kissed Him over and over again. she was a very happy Cat Person because she was with the man she loved. Lord Elrik embraced zara and kissed all along her body. He picked her up and brought her over to the bed and teased her flesh with His touch and kisses. she was squirming by the time He was half way done teasing her. she was begging Him not to stop and He had no intention of stopping either. He waited until her meows become loud enough to be heard in the hall to finally claim her once again as His. He didn't care who heard them that night. His cock moved in and out of her like a piston. she wrapped her legs around Him and clung to Him with her arms about His back. she didn't want this moment to end. she was flying with happiness and joy. They both shed a few tears when they climaxed together. It was a magical moment and was over much too soon. Lord Elrik fell asleep still inside His zara. Mean while else where in the Lord's home, King Edward was settling into His new quarters near the dungeon's stair case. He wanted His person men watching over Lord Ulrich as well as Himself without stretching them too thin. He didn't trust the Lord Ulrich not to try and bribe someone to set him free. A trial was set to begin late that next week. zara was asked to testify publicly about what had gone on in Lord Ulrich's household. she didn't hesitate to agree to do so as she had nothing to be ashamed of. The next morning, Prince Zarn was escorted from the King's Court and began his journey back to the Cat People. Sir Kern was charged with going as a part of the King's escort. Partially because Sir Kern was responsible for making sure things came to light, and because the King trusted the man not to be swayed by the Prince. Prince Zarn begrudgingly went back home to face his Father about what He had done. He knew he was going to have to answer for a lot of things. Prince Zarn was not permitted too far out of sight of the escort. King Edward charged Sir Kern with making sure the Prince didn't escape from his date with his Father. Prince Zarn spoke briefly with Sir Kern about how zara would be treated in Lord Elrik's household. It was like the man some what cared all of the sudden for her well being. Sir Kern saw it as a ploy but assured the man that zara was very happy with Lord Elrik. Prince Zarn didn't have to wait too long to face his father, King Zack, who all ready on his way to meet with King Edward. The two parties meet at the border of the two lands. Sir Kern greeted and presented King Zack with the note from King Edward that explained everything. The look on King Zack's face was not one of happiness, and his son was quickly sent home under guard. King Zack told Sir Kern that the other family matter would be dealt with at a later time as he had a granddaughter to meet. King Zack asked Sir Kern to accompany him on his journey to see King Edward. Sir Kern knew that he could use this time to help Princess zara get her heart's desire. Sir Kern filled King Zack in on the details of Princess zara's rescue and new life with Lord Elrik. He spoke of Lord Elrik and his lands and the people there to give him an idea of what to expect upon his arrival. King Zack listened intently and wanted only the best for his Granddaughter whom he didn't know existed until now. Custom dictated that she marries within her station but the circumstances of her life would make finding a King or a Prince difficult. Most importantly, King Zack wanted her to be happy and see for His own eyes that she was happy where she now was. Sir Kern answered the questions King Zack had about Lord Ulrich and what had gone on. King Zack was distressed to hear what had happened to his Granddaughter and the lie Prince Zarn had led while away from home. He inquired about zara's Mother and was saddened to hear that she had passed away when zara was a baby. King Edward's wife, Catherine, soon joined the Court and were there just mere days before the arrival of King Zack. She met privately with zara and they quickly became friends. Queen Catherine showed zara how to be a proper Lady at Court. zara was shown a good many things and made many friends in the time waiting for King Zarn to arrive. Her quarters were moved next to Lord Elrik's and they connected through a secret passage. The staff knew zara did not sleep alone but all turned a blind eye because they could see the happiness there. Queen Catherine made arrangements for a ball to be held for Princess zara towards the middle of the season. There was much to be planned and zara was still learning to dance and greet those in Court. Gowns were made and fitted and zara lent a hand in the sewing room with the other Ladies. Things were sent for and were quickly arriving at the Lord's home. King Edward talked daily with zara as the trail preparations were under going as well. zara was happy when she heard that Sir Kern was back and that her Grandfather, King Zack, wanted to meet her promptly. Lord Elrik escorted her to the King's chambers and waited outside so that they could speak in private. King Zack greeted His Granddaughter with a hug and an apology for His son's behavior and treatment towards her. He promised to send a tutor to her here if she desired to learn more about her homeland. They talked the better part of a day and took only breaks for refreshment. Lord Elrik was antsy about what was taking place but knew it was best to let the two Cat People talk alone. Sir Kern filled in many details for Lord Elrik about Prince Zarn and that seemed to answer a good many internal questions. It would seem that Prince Zarn was in the habit of being a naughty Prince and covering his trail but this time got caught. Lord Elrik agreed to keep that information close to his heart because it may hurt zara to know this. King Edward met with King Zack later that night after the evening meal was served. Both men got along well and there was no tension in the air. Lord Ulrich was not a happy camper down in the dungeon and was quite unhappy to hear that King Zack was here. It was rare that the King himself traveled outside of his lands but this matter was important enough that He didn't trust an emissary to do the job. The following day, the trail began in the dinning hall. It was the only place large enough for all to attend the proceedings as this was a public trail. The trail took place over the course of two weeks. Lord Ulrich was found guilty of all charges brought against him by both Kings. He should not have held Princess zara like a captive slave and treated below what her station dictated. What made matters worse was that Lord Ulrich was fully aware of whom her Mother was and still allowed things to occur that should not have. Both Kings agreed that the marriage was legally binding and that Princess zara would be a ward of the Court until she married. As punishment, Lord Ulrich was to be stripped of his title and lands and banished from the Kingdom. The lands would be given to Princess zara as her dowry. Lord Elrik was given the new title of Duke for his rescue and continued well treatment of Princess zara. King Edward declared that a new dwelling was to be built half way between the two lands so that the people could be well cared for. Sir Kern was elevated to Lord Kern and given a parcel of land not given to Princess zara but bordered it. Princess zara was given permission by the Court to marry within the season to a man of her choosing so long as the Court agreed it was a good match. King Zack gave His blessing if she wished that man to be Duke Elrik. King Edward gave His blessing as well. This was indeed a happy day for zara. her heart's desire was coming true. she being allowed to marry the man of her dreams and could remain here where she truly belonged. ......and so ends Chapter Eleven. Captive Ch. 12 That night Princess zara snuck into Duke Elrik's chambers after the guard had been posted outside T/their rooms. Even with the ruling against the now deposed Lord Ulrich, neither of them felt that safe and a guard was still posted to protect them. King Edward had insisted upon it even. zara thought that it was a wise measure considering how angry Lord Ulrich had looked when the verdict was passed down. Duke Elrik cradled zara in His lap as they talked about the upcoming events that would be taking place. Without much thought, zara wiggled upon His lap and rubbed her hand up and down His chest soothing Him as He spoke. she kisses along His neck softly and nibbled on His earlobe – a zone that was sure to get His attention in a good way. He ran His hands across her fur and stroked it similar to one would a cat knowing this was something zara enjoyed. zara wiggled in His lap as He touched her. she truly loved this man whom in her heart she would always call Master before husband. she knew that she still had much to learn to properly serve Him as she had never been a slave to someone she truly cared for but knew that it would all come into place over time. Duke Elrik had slaves before but none like Princess zara. Duke Elrik began to be more teasing in His touching of zara. He ran his finger tips back and forth over her pussy lips. He wanted to her to start wiggling in His lap and beg Him to take her. He loved tormenting her like this and knew that she enjoyed it when He did this. He held her firmly against Him as he continued to tease her pussy lips with His finger tips. she began to squirm quite nicely for Him upon His lap. He knew that soon she would begin to beg for something more than a tease. All she had to do was beg for it. "Please Master no more teasing." "But I thought you enjoyed my teasing My precious?" "i do Master but i need something more." "What is it that you need?" "Master, please will You take Your slave." "you can do better than that zara. I know you can." "Master, will You please take Your precious slave and make her cum all over Your cock." "I quite like the sound of that." That night wasn't about begging further but rather about the T/two of T/them growing to know O/one A/another. Duke Elrik claimed Princess zara and kept her there by His side the whole night through. The next day began with preparations for the coming ball season to be held at the Duke's home. There was much to be done in little time really. King Zack spent some time with his granddaughter and learned more about the life she had led and was leading now. He knew from reports and talking to Duke Elrik's men that He was a good man. He came to love zara from their talks and knew His son had a lot of explaining to do. Prince Zarn wasn't going to have an easy punishment for what he had done to not only his own child but to the emissary talks between the two people. King Edward and Queen Catherine were happy and proud as any parent might be to see the love bloom and blossom between Duke Elrik and Princess zara. King Zack welcomed the former Lord Ulrich to be banished on his lands where he could properly learn how to treat others under supervision of course. King Zack departed with Ulrich before the great ball. Sir Kern saw them to the land borders and would be back in time for the first dances. Queen Catherine saw to it that Princess zara continued to learn womanly things like how to sew, dance, and behave like a proper lady while at Court. Princess zara blossomed in those skills as well and helped the ladies make her wedding gown which was to be a complete surprise for Duke Elrik. It was going to be a one of a kind creation. The ball gown was a pale blue off the shoulder creation. The night of the ball quickly came to the Court. People from many miles away came to the ball. The house was full to capacity and some of the men were taking quarters above the stables in order to accommodate all the visiting Lords and Ladies of the Realm. There were grand introductions of everyone who came down the stair cases to the ball room. Soon it was Princess zara's turn to make her grand entrance and all eyes were on her. "Lord and Ladies it is with great honor that I present to all of you the visiting Princess zara" she slowly descended the staircase and made her way over to Duke Elrik's arm. He stood there a moment amazed at her beauty and soon enough escorted her on to the ball room dance floor to dance. They twirled around on the dance floor and danced to many songs before sitting down with the King and Queen to partake of the feast. It was certainly a night of jubilant celebration. It wasn't until later that night that the King found out about Lord Ulrich's escape from King Zarn's men. He choose not to worry the happy couple with such news that night, but had the guards made aware and to keep a stern eye out. The King knew that Ulrich wasn't about to just let zara go without a fight. He was crazed by lust for the lovely cat lady. Duke Elrik was mad in the morning when King Edward gave him the news. He called to have the guard doubled and found that it all ready was. He grumbled a bit more but said nothing. King Edward assured the Duke that everything was well in hand. Princess zara was scared but tried to not let on to anyone including the King. she knew that Lord Ulrich was probably going to make a play for her and didn't want blood shed because of her. she began thinking of ways to leave the estate unnoticed until it was too late to stop her. Lord Kern kept a stern eye on her when Duke Elrik wasn't with her so she soon began to see that as fruitless. King Edward messaged King Zack about the escape and plans to push the wedding date ahead. King Zack responded back post haste and agreed that in light of things there was no reason to make the two of them keep waiting any longer than plans could be made for the event to take place. A priest was easy enough to obtain the services of because one came once every two weeks to the Duke's household. They had to wait but a week. King Edward passed along the happy news to the couple after making sure the priest would be coming. Lord Kern had a guard assigned to the priest so that no harm would come to him. The happy couple was ecstatic at being able to push up the wedding date. King Edward and Queen Catherine saw to it that that happy couple wasn't able to spend much time alone. Trying to make the wedding night as special as it could be was going to be hard on both of them. Funny how it took the intervention of the royal couple to get the two of them to listen to some reason when it came to such a matter was amazing. King Edward and Duke Elrik hunted for the prize deer meat for the feast the day before the wedding. It was a good hunt and they found a large eight point buck that would be good eating. The two men had become close in the time since the trail. Despite the strain on the stores of the estate it was worth having the court there right now. Queen Catherine did keep Princess zara busy perfecting her embroidery on some new handkerchiefs for Duke Elrik's wedding present. They had his symbol – the raven – on one corner and his initials on another corner. They looked very nice when done. Queen Catherine, also, helped zara to come to terms with not running from the present situation. The Queen knew as most women would because of intuition. She knew that zara wasn't running from Duke Elrik but rather wanted the madness to end. That was the biggest obstacle before them – Lord Ulrich's obsession. It was something that zara soon realized that she had no control over. Besides she loved the Duke too much to truly leave Him now. Lord Kern arrived with the priest the night before. King Edward had the priest under heavy guard upon his arrival. There was no going to stop this wedding. The King's men were under strict orders not to let Lord Ulrich any where near the estate. The men were not about to fail their King on this task. The day of the wedding, Queen Catherine lent Princess zara one of her hand maidens to help her dress in the flowing gown. It had a long train and what seemed like a hundred buttons along the back of it. King Zack was unable to be there on such short notice but sent an emissary in his stead with a special present. It was a garland grown of blue and white flowers that had been carefully dried for the occasion. Duke Elrik dressed in his best outfit and kept pacing back and forth in his room until Lord Kern said it was time to go to the chapel. He made his way to the chapel with Lord Kern and wondered what the priest was going to think of this union. Lord Kern assured Duke Elrik that the priest had all ready been made aware of the fact that Princess zara was a Cat Person, and had no conflict of feelings against going forth with the ceremony. That put Him at ease. Queen Catherine was all ready seated in the chapel and the priest was waiting when Duke Elrik arrived with Lord Kern. They quickly took their place beside the priest at the front of the chapel. Tara, from the kitchens, motioned to the priest that the bride was ready to make her grand entrance. Princess zara walked down the aisle of the church on the arm of King Edward. Duke Elrik's people and staff were all happy and proud to see the bride walk down the aisle that day. They had grown accustomed to her and loved her like they loved the Duke. Flower petals were dropped in front of her as she strode to the altar. The King once at the altar transferred her arm to the Duke's when the Priest asked who gives the bride away. The ceremony went smoothly without a hitch. Duke Elrik gave Princess zara a ring that Queen Catherine had helped him choose for his bride. Princess zara present Duke Elrik with a ring with his crest on it. King Edward had it commissioned the day it was decided they could wed. The huge feast following the ceremony went off without a hitch as well. They merry couple partied with their people well into the wee hours of the night. They were both tired when escorted to their chamber. The ladies had prepared the room and turned down the bed as was customary. The couple was a bit exhausted and soon fell asleep curled in one another's arms. This was a day of merriment and joy. A Master and slave were joined together forever by bonds that even the King could not dissolve. Lord Ulrich would not be able to harm the fair Princess again. Thus ends the story......
