Caught Fire

Caught Fire

Part 3

By Dari

I hadn't gotten much sleep last night. At first I hadn't been able to find rest,

and then nightmares had plagued my dreams. In the wee hours of the morning the

rain got even worse, and my gratitude of being inside rose once more. He would

surely have left me outside if I hadn't succeeded in getting rid of the rope,

that I was sure of.

I couldn't measure the time with the sky all clouded over, but it must have been

late morning when Tane finally stirred beside me. I was lying on my side, with

my back turned to him, with half of the bed between us. In my fitful sleep I had

somehow escaped his grip around my waist, and from then on I had been inching

slowly towards the far end of the bed. It was kind of stupid, because after all

I was here on my own free will, and I still had no intention of leaving, and

still, it was a kind of triumph to get away from him. As he was now waking up my

solitude would soon enough end anyway.

I felt him shift and then get off the bed. That surprised me a bit, as I had

assumed that he was still half asleep, or would at least crawl over to me after

waking up. After he had closed the door behind him I rolled onto my back and

frowned at the ceiling above me. Two days were really too short a time to

predict anyone.

About ten minutes later Tane returned. Water was running down his muscular body,

indicating that he had been outside. I just stared at him, waiting for him to

say something, but he stayed at the door, leaning against the frame, and looked

down across the room at me, face devoid of any emotion. I resisted the urge to

shift around under my blanket and kept my staring up. I wouldn't back down this

time.

Evidently Tane didn't take up the challenge because he turned his head long

before he had made me look away, instead looking out of the window. Yet when his

gaze swivelled back to me he still kept his face even. I still made no move,

waiting for him to either go away or come over to me. Of course he did the

latter.

He stopped at the foot of the bed, idly running his fingers over the massive

wooden frame and the attached leather straps. I kept my gaze firmly fixed on his

face, not letting me get distracted. Tane then sighed wearily. "So you're angry

with me. After a night of brooding that hasn't changed a bit. Is there any

peaceful way I can lighten your mood, or am I standing on lost ground here?" He

didn't sound very interested, but it could be considered nice of him to ask. Yet

I knew that a lot of the things he had said or done had seemed perfectly

harmless and turned up to have a much deeper meaning, so I didn't let myself be

fooled now. "I don't know, but you wouldn't take it anyway. Why try to be nice

if you can always resort to violence? We both know that in every kind of fight

you'll come out as the winner, so why bother?" For once my voice sounded as

acidic as I had intended it to, yet it didn't have any particular effect on him.

For a moment longer Tane stayed where he was, then he climbed over the frame and

sat down there with his back resting against the wood. Now that he was closer to

me I could see that he was shivering slightly, with goose bumps running down his

arms and legs. So he wasn't as unaffected by the cold as his behaviour might

convey. As delighting as this might have been, it didn't change anything.

"Do you even know why you are mad at me?" I put a mocking frown on my face. "I

can choose from at least five reasons, want me to pick one or can I keep them

combined?" He didn't even blink, but just sat there and looked at me, giving me

the creeps all the while without doing anything. Somehow this situation got

ridiculous by the minute, but I couldn't back down out of it. I'd rather sit

here for the whole day and do nothing but stare at him than back down. As he

wasn't likely to back down either, we would be doing a lot of staring today if

this went on any longer.

Again it was him who broke the silence once more. "Would you be just as mad if I

had let you go to sleep once you've come inside?" I honestly didn't know. I had

to admit that I hadn't exactly thought about that at all, being grumpy was all I

wanted to be right now. In my eyes I had all the right to it there was in the

world. So I chose not to answer.

When he realized this he sighed and briefly rubbed his hands over his face, then

gazed outside again. "The weather's too bad to go outside, and it's to dangerous

to let you experiment with your abilities inside - searing through one rope is

one thing, but you are far from any signs of control. If you could already do

more I'd go out with you nevertheless, but the rain would extinguish the flames

most of the time, and you'd only get frustrated. You're stuck with me inside, so

either we keep on avoiding one another for the whole day, or we work this out

now."

I just narrowed my eyes. "I'd opt for the former, but I simply can't believe

that you would just let me lurk around until the weather gets better without

bothering me." Tane chuckled, but it was a dry sound. "I could just tie you down

here and go to the living room to stay there, this way I'd gladly leave you for

as long as you want." With a snarl I sat up, making the blanket slip down to

reveal my naked upper body, but right now I didn't care. "You are such a

bastard!" Now his laugh was nearer to the normal sound, but still held no

humour. "You don't have to complement me on my thoughtful nature, lovely." He

swallowed and visibly sobered. "But I didn't intend to solve it this way. I'd

rather talk about it and try to disarm this trap without my conventional means."

I stared at him for a moment, then wrenched the blanket up to my shoulders and

settled down against the headboard of the bed. "Then I'd advise you on beginning

with that monologue now, as I won't have much to say anyway, as I know you."

Still my anger was burning inside of me, only fuelled whenever I moved.

Yesterday getting up had been painful. Today moving on its own was hell.

Tane seemed to think about that for a moment, but shook his head. "No, I'll

really try to find a solution. I know that you realized yesterday that some of

the things I do are to force you to use your abilities, even if you hate it and

it makes you hurt all over. And I'm well aware of how your body must feel after

yesterday. But at least you haven't caught a cold." He waited for me to comment

on that, but I just pressed my lips together and stared at him. So he went on.

"If you want to I can explain it all to you in detail. Maybe you'll understand

me a bit better then." Before he could venture on, I broke my silence. "I don't

need your stupid explanations, even less if they come down to "I just did it to

help you.". If you go on like this, I won't stand the week, and won't live

through the month!" I bit down hard on my lips when not only the anger, but also

some of my fear came with the words. For a moment Tane kept his emotionless mask

up, but then his features softened. I wanted to look away from him, gather

myself again and lash out once more, but before I could do anything he got on

all fours and crawled over to me. I tried to scoot back, but as he was trapping

the blanket beneath him and I didn't let it go, I never came far before he knelt

down in front of me. When he extended a hand towards my face I shied away, and

he stopped, then let if rest on his thigh, but the look he directed at me was of

genuine sympathy.

"I know, I've overstepped your limits a bit, but believe me, I don't intend to

harm you seriously, and it won't get worse." A dry sound came out of my mouth,

more a stifled sniff than the grunt I had intended. "Now you are talking

sweetly, even trying to soothe me, but I don't believe you. You told me to

develop some backbone, but you're just doing a good job at breaking me!" The sob

that followed my outburst was not to be mistaken as anything else, yet I tried

to keep myself together, but somehow loosing it.

Before I knew what was happening Tane was holding me, gently rocking me and

cooing soothingly, with me clinging to him and crying like a baby. Even when I

realized what I was doing I couldn't make myself stop or try to get away from

him again. So I gave in and just let him comfort me, telling myself that I

should savour the times he was gentle to me, as it surely wouldn't last for

long.

When I was finally able to gather myself again I looked up at Tane. When he saw

me gazing at him, he briefly smiled, but it was a gentle smile, something I

didn't really know of him, and it went away nearly too fast to appreciate it

fully. A little bit embarrassed because of my crying I cleared my throat and

tried to wind myself out of his grip, but he only shifted his arms to keep me

pressed against him. One of his hands was already beneath the blanket, and when

he brushed my breast I tensed up visibly.

"Don't. You're just ruining every favour you just gained with me." I hadn't

spoken very loud, but he understood me without encountering any problems, and

moved his hand away again. "Is it so horrible if I touch you?" He sounded just a

little bit hurt, and that brought my anger back from glowing embers to burning

flames. With a rather vehement move I wrenched myself free of his embrace,

mostly succeeding because he hadn't seen it coming, edged back a bit and turned

on him.

"No, but it never stays with touching. It doesn't even stay with fucking!" My

voice was nearly drowned out by a hiccup, and I felt colour creeping over my

face. "See what you are doing to me, first off I'm having a crying fit when I

should be arguing with you, and now I'm getting hysterics!" Tane only pursed his

lips. "You're cute when you're throwing a tantrum." That somehow took the wind

out of my sails, and I got my temper back in check. So I just glowered at him,

meanwhile rearranging the blanket around my body. At least he was suave enough

to keep his eyes fixed on my face. When I was content with the seat of the

blanket I inhaled to continue talking, but Tane forestalled me with a raised

hand.

"Before you go on, let me add a few things. After hearing me out you can shout

as much as you want. Okay?" It was not okay, because I suspected that he had

some plan about getting me too confused to keep arguing, but nevertheless

nodded. He then went on. "I know that the last two days have been difficult for

you. I might even grant you that my methods are not only quite unusual but

sometimes a bit drastic. But I have reasons to do it this way, and not any

other." I snorted. "Yeah, of course, there's only one way to get a girl to

grovel at your feet."

Anger flashed in his eyes for a moment, but he suppressed it quickly and went on

with the same calm voice as before. "For you it might seem like I wanted to not

only hurt you, but to get you to follow my every word to the letter. You said so

yourself before, you think I want to break you - for what I don't really know,

but I guess you think me incapable of normal human interactions, and if I manage

to subdue you enough I will lead an easier life." Put this way it sounded a bit

more ridiculous as in my mind, but I just nodded as it was essentially what I

thought of him.

Tane snorted briefly before opening his mouth again. "I can't say anything that

will let you think any different, I know, mostly because some parts of that

contain little bits of truths, but ..." he raised his hands before I could even

utter the oath I had intended to throw at him, "... I have my reasons. If you've

changed your mind and intent to not study with me, please say it, because then I

would stop right now. But it's important to get you a sort of head start with

your abilities, and I didn't know any other way to get you to use your powers.

If I had told you what to look for it wouldn't have worked, believe me."

He then paused, mainly to draw breath, but also to let me speak. Yet I hesitated

a moment, and dropped the subject of cursing him once more, but instead

delved into the topic he had just nicked. "What do you mean by head start? If I

really stay with you it won't matter if I need a week or so longer, now will

it?" Tane just shrugged. "For me it doesn't make a difference. Of your own you

would soon enough have made that progress, maybe in two weeks, at longest a

month. But you don't have this time right now." Again he stopped, but resumed

before I could pester him with a question. "Haven't you wondered why they let

you go with me without any objections, now that you know how I am?"

This thought hadn't occurred to me until now, mainly because I had had more

important things to worry about. Yet as he said it, a mild frown crept on my

forehead. When he saw that, Tane went on. "They haven't of course. In about four

days from now some of them will drop by for a visit and see for themselves if

you've already made any progress. They don't recon that you've already begun to

control the fire, in fact I think they only let you go with me because they were

oh so sure that you wouldn't be able to do anything, maybe even not cope with

me. I've fallen from grace with the Academy over the time, and they only look

for an excuse to drive me off this land. I know, that doesn't bother you, but

when they approached me with the idea of teaching you, I knew it was a trap, yet

I was simply too intrigued by the idea, so I went to the Academy myself, instead

of letting them send you up here, so I could get a good look at you. I don't

mean your body by that, I mean your potential. I saw what they couldn't or

wouldn't see, that you are not very far from getting control on your own without

any help from the outside, so I decided to take my chances and take you with

me."

He let that stand in the room further uncommented, and for some moments I could

simply stare at him. "That's just ridiculous!" He only smiled at my disbelief.

"In four days they will be here, and you'll be able to check for yourself if you

don't believe me. But does it seem that strange that they want to have me off

their territory? The only thing I do is stir up some of their students and

sometimes molest their whores. I'm of no use but of certain danger. They wanted

to use you as a means of getting rid of me. Pardon me for using you as a

counter-device."

I still didn't really believe him, although it sounded at least a bit plausible.

But that still left some things to question. "Assuming I believe you, which I

don't, why do you tell me, and why do you keep ... " I faltered there, but Tane

continued for me. "Why I keep turning daily life into hell for you? I guess it's

just lack of character, there." He curtly grinned, but when he saw that I wasn't

in the mood for joking he sobered again. "I'm to be held accountable for

everything I did. I hurt you, I hurt you badly, and that more than once, not all

of that necessary to unveil your abilities. That's just me, I'm a bad guy,

yadda, yadda. If you can't cope with it, or are not willing to, then you're free

to go. But believe me when I tell you that now that I've accomplished that first

goal, now that you will be allowed to stay with me, I will change my tactics a

bit." He paused, and then added, "That keeping you from coming yesterday for

instance, I thought that with the frustration and longing you would finally give

in, and that might also add up to your succeeding to call forth the flames at

will." A slight smirk showed up on his face, with a lot of suggestion. "If you

want, I can make up for that right away, through the whole day if you insist."

Colour began to seep in my cheeks, and I instantly turned that embarrassment,

wherever it had come from, into anger. "Don't distract me now, this still

doesn't make all that much of a sense. Apart from that I'm sore enough to need

days to be feeling alright again, so that will have to wait anyway."

Tane blinked for a moment, then frowned. "You are just once more showing me that

I've been right in my esteem about why they picked you. You know next to nothing

about what I can accomplish, now do you?" For a moment I wanted to balk at that,

but then had to admit that he was right. His frown just turned into a smile.

"Well, then let me tell you one essential part of that. I'm a sorcerer who works

with fire. Fire burns and sears everything around itself, even the poor

sorcerer's fingers and if he doesn't pay any attention, easily his whole body,

too. So nature compensates for that in granting the sorcerer the ability to heal

eventual burns. I'm not all that good in it, and it costs me more to heal a nick

at a finger than to burn down a whole wood, but if you give me some time and let

me work, I'll be able to rid you of most of the pain I caused you in the last

two days."

Now I really stared at him, pressing my lips together while feeling my eyes

narrow. I had to cramp my fingers into the blanket not to fly at him instantly,

and waited for my mind to clear enough to talk again. "And why do you keep me

hurting all over for the whole time? Even if you now defend yourself with some

sappy excuse about not healing me before last night, before getting a grip on

everything, that doesn't explain why I had to suffer through the wee hours of

morning without getting any sleep at all!"

Tane only snickered then. "If you'd have let me fuck you, it would have gotten

better instantly. Healing works with touch, and as most of your pain was

inflicted by me roughing you up, I could have taken it from you the same way.

You were just not about to cooperate." Now I really got mad at him, and although

I should have leant from yesterday, I nevertheless let out a shout and then

jumped up and at him, punching him in the stomach and then simply hitting at

everything I could reach. Of course that wasn't very efficient, but I simply had

to spend that anger on something.

In no time he was perching atop me, pinning both of my hands to the ground above

my head with one of his, pinning my body mostly with his, even somehow keeping

my feet down, and still had one hand free to gently pat my cheek. I snarled at

him, but that only made him laugh. "You're such a wildcat; I'll be having a lot

of fun with you over the next months." Again I tried to wrench myself free, and

for a moment I thought I might make it, but Tane only shifted, and next I felt

his partly hard cock rub against my pussy lips.

Defiantly I put up my chin and glared at him. "Can't you even once refrain from

fucking me? Can't you just once not be such a bastard?" He only grinned down at

me. "No." Then he brought his face down to my torso and began to succinctly suck

at my right nipple. I let out a growl of frustration, once more trying to get

free, but it was to no avail. It didn't even hinder him in any way.

"Hey, come on, stop, I don't want to right now." Somehow I even managed to keep

my voice low and sound rather sensible, although I didn't really expect him to

follow my bid. It amazed me when he quit teasing my breast and looked at me

again, face blank, as if he wouldn't be keeping me pinned to the bed, being

about to fuck me. "Why?"

I briefly blinked, not quite catching up on that. "Why what? Why I want you to

stop?" He nodded. "I just told you that fucking would at least lessen your pain,

and I thought that was one of your problems right now." I furrowed my brow. "It

is, but I simply don't like the way you are going about this. We still have to

finish that talk, remember, I'm not quite convinced of your little story." Tane

rolled his eyes and then slid off me without further protest, which amazed me

even more. What was going on that suddenly my word counted for something?

He propped himself up on one elbow and then looked at me, seemingly waiting for

me to pose my questions. I stayed lying on my back, only turning my head to gaze

at him. It somehow irritated me that he even refrained from touching me at all.

Yet I didn't complain, this was what I wanted, now wasn't it?

"Okay, to sum it all up, you want to get back at them by showing them how good a

teacher you are, making even me able to work with my abilities in no time,

although they thought it impossible." He nodded. "Essentially yes." I frowned a

bit. "You told me that so I would understand, maybe even cooperate and help you.

Yet you downright torture me and try to get away with some lousy excuse about it

being the only way." He chose to ignore my acidic tone and instead smirked.

"Well, I'm not used to handling a slave for my every kinky pleasure; you have to

be patient with me."

I just wanted to hit him for that, hard, but he put a finger down over my lips

before I could begin with my tirade. "I was just joking." "Really? Sounds quite

the truth to me. Only your dumb saying about teaching me some backbone

contradicts with it." Tane paused for a moment, then flopped down on his back,

mimicking my posture. "I know, and I can't even say that I'm sorry because it

wouldn't be the whole truth and I don't lie if I can avoid it." He waited for a

moment, but when no reply came from my side, he blinked and turned his head to

look at me. "No complaints? Then I'll use that to explain it once again. It's

not just words; I really want to raise your confidence. And I know that until

now I have done nothing on that part, even working in the other direction.

That's something I'm sorry about, but I can promise you, we'll get to that

eventually."

Once more he haltered, and when I still didn't speak up he continued. "If you

have the feeling that I'm contradicting myself, you might be right. I haven't

thought much about the whole thing, more working on impulse than thought." He

briefly furrowed his brow, musing over something. "I know you will get mad at me

the moment I tell you this, but somehow the idea of dominating you in more than

just setting the pace when fucking you appeals to me. Got any problems with

that?" From the lilt in his voice I figured that he didn't mean that all too

serious. Maybe he really thought that, but asking me was for naught, he knew the

answer by now. Yet I dilated my eyes to better stare at him and answered

nevertheless. "Yes. Many." He smiled and turned his head to once more gaze out

the window.

"I know, and I guess that's the reason why I can't let it go. It's a challenge,

and I love challenges. I guess I wouldn't like you nearly as much as I do if you

would just submit to my ilk. And I like you a lot." For that he turned his head

to me again, looking me in the face. I just looked back, now keeping my face

blank. Tane smiled again, raising one hand to stroke a finger gently down my

cheek. "But as much as I'd like to make you back down, I won't attempt to break

you. Yesterday when I dragged you back to the hut and then left you outside, it

wasn't really fun for me. I was angry enough to not spare it a thought, but

somehow it vexed me to see how easy it was to make you huddle down if I really

force you. Knowing that I'm able to is enough by far. I won't do it again,

promise."

Now he really began to confuse me. Until now I had been thinking that he must

have had a hell of a good time back then, but he seemed honest now. "You really

mean that." He nodded. "Must sound stupid, but I never said I was easy to

understand." Tane laughed and went on. "Maybe we'll really find a way with which

we might both live and still get this working. Something like you letting me

have my way with you in the end, yet you are encouraged to struggle as much as

you like if you feel like it, with me not taking you too far. How does this

sound?"

Once more I frowned. "Sounds like what he have right now, only a bit more

diffuse." I was rewarded with a curt smile. "No, I meant you willingly

submitting to me, not letting me have my way because you fear that it would only

get worse if I got angry with you. It's kind of hard to explain." For a moment I

hesitated, then I turned on my side to get a better look at him. "You mean that

we sort of extend our, well I don't know how to call it, relationship or

something to a day and night spanning play? Not just getting in bed to fuck,

sometimes rough, sometimes gentle, but turn it into something fluent? Me

struggling yet really wanting you to fuck me, and you pretending to force me yet

knowing that I wouldn't want you to stop anyway?"

I sounded a bit sceptical and incoherent, but he got it and then nodded. "More

or less, with exceptions of course. You don't have to act, if you just want me

to fuck you silly you can always help yourself by simply jumping on me." I

chuckled, but otherwise didn't interrupt him. Tane remained silent for another

minute, then mused on. "I hope I'm not terribly wrong, but from what I've until

now seen of you, you like it at least a bit rough, at least as long as you get

your fun." For a moment I felt myself get ashamed and red again, but suppressed

that notion. He was right, and with him it felt okay to admit it. So I nodded my

agreement, making him smile with that. "And I'd get my way most of the time. If

we really keep on fucking on a daily basis I can also step back a little, maybe

alternate between being rough and gentle, depending on our moods. I really don't

have to force myself on you all the time, even I appreciate a warm, willing body

next to mine, longing for tender caresses only to finish for the night." Instead

of speaking on he raised himself up to brush his lips gently over mine, making

the kiss nearly chaste. But only nearly, chastity is nothing I will ever be able

to associate with him. Yet before I could respond to that he sank down on the

bed again and went on.

"Maybe this is just stupid reverie, but it sounds reasonably performable. Wanna

give it a try?" I put a mock frown on my face. "I guess you mean right now with

that?" Tane just growled. "Well, yes, you're keeping me off you for the whole

morning already, that's far too long." But he didn't do more than taunt me, even

sobered after that again. "Of course you'll have the right to say no, but I

guess we should rather stick to some safe word for that. You're that kind of

woman that still protests when she is already humping down the cock of the poor

man who tries to persuade her." For that he got a light punch on the arm that

only made him grunt. "I know I'm right, you don't have to affirm me all the

more. How about "Academy", that normally does it's own to get me brooding

instead of wanting to fuck you."

I just laughed. "That's too ridiculous. Come up with something more sensible."

He nodded, yet smiled. "I'll think of it. Until then we'll have to manage

without one." I blinked briefly. "Well, we'll manage if you keep it low a bit

today, and really are able to heal me." I didn't know if he got the hint, so I

leant a bit more over him to look him in the eye while saying it, brushing with

the tips of my breasts against his arm that was resting on his chest. He didn't

look down, yet I knew he understood when he pushed said arm a bit up so that he

was pressing my nipples into the soft flesh of my breasts. "If you hadn't

insisted on keeping this stupid talking up you would already feel used yet

rather normal. I'll only be able to lessen the pain, not really make it all go

away, but the residue I'll turn into something you can relish." He paused once

more. "But talking wasn't all that bad either. Maybe I shouldn't remind you, but

I didn't say anything further to make you believe me, so why now the change of

mind?"

I paused a moment before answering. "I don't know, maybe I just wanted an

assurance that you wouldn't keep half-torturing me daily, or something. I guess

I just needed some lapse from your side, not some stupid proof you can't provide

until they show up on our doorstep. And maybe all that talking simply got me

horny." Now that made him smile as I had anticipated, and he withdrew his arms

to wrap them around my body, drawing me essentially atop of him.

"Horny, eh?" I just nodded. "Well, then how can I service you, madam? How do you

want it?" I smiled down at him with a slightly leering quality. "What do you

have to offer?" Tane laughed full heartedly. "Everything you want. Considering

your state a slow approach might be appreciated, maybe just pleasuring you with

my tongue and waiting to see what happens? Or I could for once set out to

explore all that yet not too familiar flesh with my mouth and hands, and find

all the erogenous and ticklish spots you have?" He took a short pause to kiss me

before going on. "Or we could speed up the process, so that I begin to fuck you

when you are wet enough so that I can relieve you of your pain and then get on

to more serious things, provided you long for a hard ride? I'd really like to

have you bounce on top of me, with your tits in full view and ready for my

hands? But it's yours to decide. Just tell me."

To be true, all of that aroused me. If he kept on talking like that some more he

wouldn't have to lick or caress me to get me wet. Yet I took my time, just

relishing the possibility of having a choice. And call me stupid, even when he

offered to play it gentle, omitting his likings for tying me down at all, I

somehow wanted to go for exactly that. If he really stuck to his word as far as

doing as I told him I wanted it, I could perhaps really love that.

"I'm not that experienced, you know, so bear with me. I'll let most of it to you,

but ..." I hesitated one more, fidgeting around a bit before looking into his

eyes again to go on. "I'd like you to explore my body, as you just offered, but

while tying me down." Only a slight widening of his eyes indicated that he was a

bit surprised. Maybe he still didn't know how close some of my desires came to

his idea of fun. Yet he didn't interrupt, so I hurried on. "Not to the extend

that I really hurt, but you can make me unable to move at all if you want, as

long as you keep playing with me. Keep it up as long as you want, but at least

for some time, but not too long. I'm sure you'll know when enough is enough. And

then fuck me. I don't know how well I'll be feeling like that, so I can't say

how fast to set your pace, but make a contrast to your caresses before." I had

to swallow hard to go on, but forced myself to do it. "You can also rough me up

a bit then, if you want, but let me set certain limits. No choking, no slapping

my pussy that you make me cry and unable to move for days. Generally nothing

that leaves lasting pain. It's okay if I'm tired and aching a bit afterwards,

but I want it to be a dull pain if it has to be that way, something that can be

ignored. Considering what we've already done together in my first night with

you, you can go farther than with the first part, but not as far as with the

second part. You don't have to make me cum if that means sticking to that.

Okay?"

I hated the way my voice sounded, a bit desperate and pleading, but at least I

had the courage to spell that out what kept lurking behind my eyes. Tane just

looked at me for another moment, an expression of mild bewilderment still on his

face, then nodded. "That shouldn't be too hard, but it will take time if I

really do it properly." Somehow that broke the tension that had been building up

inside of me, and let me exhale in relief. "You said we wouldn't have anything

else to do today apart from biding our time?" Tane nodded once more, but still

had that sincere look on his face, not smiling or something. Maybe he wanted to

convey the impression that he took my request seriously, making me a bit more

comfortable with it. It worked. "So when do you want to begin? Now? I'd advice

you on using the toilet beforehand, because it can get nasty if you have to

relieve your bladder in the middle of something. But we can always wait, or do

something else before, if you want more time to consider."

Now he was a bit too sensitive for my likings, sounding like a hesitant boy who

was alone with a girl for the first time. There were times when even I wanted to

be treated that way, but right now was not one of them, as most of the time. So

I just frowned down at him. "I'll go outside to pee and shit myself out so that

there won't be any disturbances from my side, and in certain conditions I might

even find your hesitant attitude charming, but right now I want to be fucked, I

want to be used, now that I brought up the courage to admit that I want exactly

what I balked about the day before you just have to reward me with it."

Finally that smirk returned that I had been waiting for, and his hands found

their way to squeeze my buttocks before I could slap them down. "Just wanted to

hear it out of your own mouth. It's just so much more fun when you get agitated,

same as when you beg me to fuck you when I just stay to teasing. And I will be

teasing you a lot today, be assured of that." I rewarded him with a long kiss,

then slid off him and out of his grasp and went out in the rain to get myself

ready. I took my time even when the rain kept slashing down at my bare skin, but

I wanted to make sure that I didn't need another break too soon.

When I came back in Tane was unwinding several coils of rope. A whole heap of

leather straps already lay on the bed, and I was beginning to wonder where he

stored all that stuff. At least one of the chests that stood in the room must be

full of his paraphernalia. And who knew what else he might keep there?

He motioned me over to the bed. "I'm ready in a minute, make yourself

comfortable, might be for the last time in hours." His grin was full of dark

anticipation, which only added up to the fluttering in my stomach. Yeah, I was

nervous, only getting more so when I lay down on the bed and watched him work

around with the rope. When he caught my gaze Tane laughed. "Already getting

squeamish?" I shook my head, but from his broad grin it was evident what he

thought about my denial. Then he finished, and let the ropes slide on the bed.

"Let's begin before you change your mind. Get up on the middle of the bed on

your knees, back straight, sit down on your heels and open your thighs. Hands

folded behind your back." I did as he told me, taking my time to arrange myself

that way on the bed. Tane got up behind me with a leather strap in his hands. "I'll

start with your hands, tying your arms together. You should already be familiar

with that."

He began to draw my hands to the opposite elbows until I could nearly grasp the

opposite upper arm and wound the strap from wrist to wrist, encasing my lower

arms in leather. He had already done that on our first evening, but today it

felt different, the binding being not so tight as in cutting into my flesh, but

when I tried I couldn't even begin to bring my arms more to one side or the

other. "Hold still, fidgeting will only prolong the whole thing and bring me to

unpleasant ideas. Or does it hurt in any way?" I shook my head. This way my

shoulders were not really strained so they didn't hurt. Still I had to try.

"By the way, do you want me to tell you what I am about to do, or do you prefer

to be left in oblivion as long as possible?" I thought about that for a moment,

and as I was no longer able to shrug I had to give him a verbal answer. "I don't

know, do as you like." A grunt came from behind me, then he briefly tested the

strap, yanking a bit. "I simply love this way of securing your arms, it forces

your tits out just nicely." With a chuckle he hopped off the bed and returned

with a handful of ropes and more straps, again getting behind me.

"I'll have to retie you several times, beginning with you just sitting here

being bound, and if I see that it works and you like it, I might get far enough

to really suspend you in the air. The wooden beams should support your weight

with no problems." He got to stand behind me and flung two of the ropes over the

rafters so that they were hanging down, and began to somehow knot them together.

I couldn't see much from this angle, but I guess that was exactly why he had

tied my arms already, so that I wouldn't be able to always see everything he was

preparing.

When he finished he knelt down again and fastened the two loose ends of rope

around my elbows and bound arms. I was about to wonder what he was doing this

for when he finished and once jerked on the knotted ropes. My arms were slowly

drawn up so that I had to raise from my seat at my heels so that my body

wouldn't be drawn up by my arms alone. Just when my arms were about to begin to

protest he stopped and somewhere fastened the ropes so that I was secured that

way. As long as I didn't move I didn't really feel any strain, but that surely

had some possibilities.

Next he fastened broad leather straps around my thighs near to my hips, with the

straps running about two fingers away from the top of my tights. The other ends

of the corresponding straps were wound around my ankles and drawn tight, forcing

me to bend my knees a bit and lower my bottom - which I couldn't do of course as

my position had to stay unchanged for my shoulders not to hurt. Tane took his

time to rearrange both the ankle straps and the ropes that help my arms until he

had found the point where I was no longer really comfortable, but nothing hurt.

After finishing he crawled around me and for some moments just stared at my

body, at first checking for me to sit up straight and so on, then simply

admiring his work and the object he was to show his skills on. I tried to lock

gazes with him, but he always looked away, not really avoiding my gaze but not

looking me in the eye either.

When he moved again it was to scoot in front of me so that he was inching my

knees still further apart with his hands. He allowed a curt smile to cross his

features and bent towards me, kissing me gently and passionately, while

beginning to let his hands wander over my body, starting at my shoulders,

moving down to my legs, and up again, all the time lightly dancing over my skin.

Soon he stopped kissing my lips but moved on to my neck and lower, sometimes

only lightly touching my skin, sometimes sucking it up into his mouth.

Over the next minutes he touched nearly every spot on my front, only leaving my

breasts untreated. I just closed my eyes and let him caress my skin, while I

felt that on the one hand I was getting mildly aroused, and on the other hand

relaxing more. He then moved on to my back, treating the skin there in the same

way as my front, but paying special attention to the taut muscles in my

shoulders. Light shivers ran through my body from time to time. It somehow began

to vex me that he had tied me up to prevent me from moving, but I guess that was

the sense behind all that.

After finishing with my back Tane stopped, and began to untie the leather strap

that fastened my arms together, yet leaving the ropes over my elbows in place.

Even when my arms were free I did nothing but flex my fingers briefly. He

fidgeted around with some ropes, beginning to tie them somehow together. "If

your shoulders still hurt too much, tell me." He then undid the leather around my

arms, and the ropes over my elbows but on the same time tied others around my

upper arms, with one rope running over my torso all the way around. After tying

some more be told me to align my arms at my sides and draw them back, with my hands

clasping one another. I did as he told me, and be wound a lot of rope around my

arms at the upper arms, elbows and above my wrists, tying my hands together,

forcing me to draw my shoulder blades closer together.

When he had my arms secured again he hooked the ropes that had formerly been at

my elbows through some of the loops he had created and heaved my arms up a bit.

It did hurt in my shoulders, but after securing my arms once more it was a

tolerable ache. When he was finished there he began to wind more rope around my

torso, some at the top of my breasts, some beneath, directly over my ribs. Once

more he took his time knotting everything in the back while making sure that no

rope cut into my skin. It felt like all the ropes would come together at one

point somewhere in the middle of my back, making him curse once in a while

because his tying my arms this way made it harder for him to get everything

right, but as I was in no position to help him, I just waited.

With a last yank on the ropes Tane let go of me again and hopped off the bed

once more to look at me. He curtly nodded, then got in front of me again and

rightened the ropes to his liking. Another moment he hesitated, before he looked

up at my face again. "Everything okay until now?" I just nodded, keeping it

simple. After a last check Tane got off the bed once more to return with several

more ropes and began winding about half of them around my breasts and back for

securing, and the rest around my waist, with two tight strings running over my

pussy and asshole.

If he had asked if everything still was okay I would have complained, but until

now nothing really hurt, so I kept as silent as possible. With my tits now

tightly bound they kind of jutted out, and Tane took his time to explore them

with his mouth, being very gentle doing it, making my arousal rise once more.

When he felt my nipples stiffen he reached down to the ropes that ran over my

pussy and began to gently tuck on them. I inhaled loudly when he made them chafe

over my clit, yet that didn't slow him down in any way. And although that hurt a

bit it also made me long for more.

I was just stifling a moan when he stopped and reached behind me once again to

show me a dark folded cloth. I was just about to ask him what that was for when

he reached up to my head and wound the cloth twice around my face over my eyes,

tying it in the back. The blindfold didn't let any light in as it was wrapped

nearly from my forehead to the tip of my nose, and that somehow made me nervous.

Just when I was about to really complain, a finger appeared above my lips.

"Hush, it will only heighten your sensitivity to my touch." Once again he bent

down to lap at my nipples, this time not only sucking on them, but biting down

gently and drawing the flesh away from my breast a bit. Then his attention to my

body suddenly ceased, and after feeling the bed shift under his weight I was

unable to tell what he was up to. I couldn't even hear him walking around the

room.

Wood creaked, and the bonds around my shoulders, arms and at my back suddenly

were drawn tight, also tightening the bonds around my breasts. Pain began to

find its way through my body, and I felt myself being lifted in the air a bit,

instantly began to swing around slowly. From time to time I could feel my knees

touching the bed, so I was not far from it, but my whole weight lay in the ropes

which cut into my flesh just nicely. I whimpered a bit, and felt the first signs

of fright knotting my stomach. What had I gotten myself into?

I nearly yelped when Tane gently touched my middle, steadying me in the air. The

bed creaked a bit, and he let go of me again, only to let his hands appear on my

thighs seconds after that. His caress somehow felt strange, until I realized

that he had somehow turned his hands upside down, stroking me with his hands

coming up between my legs. More creaking followed, with his hands leaving my

body once more. Yet I could hear him breathing close to me, so he must have

stayed on the bed.

Gentle fingers began to stroke over my pussy lips, drawing the flesh underneath

the ropes to the side, leaving me open and vulnerable. The coarse fabric of the

ropes downright bit into the soft inner folds of my labia. I tried to wriggle

around a bit to get my nether lips to slide back together so that the rope would

again sit firmly at the less sensitive outer parts, but I was only rewarded with

a gentle, yet firm, slap over my pussy. "You won't succeed anyway, so stop

struggling. Or do I have to tighten your restraints?" I shook my head, not

knowing if he could even see it, and hoped that that was enough.

Tane's breath blew over my exposed pussy, and I nearly cringed with sudden

arousal. Once more he tucked at my pussy, drawing my outer pussy lips still

farther apart, just to the point when I began to tense up because it hurt. He

kept his fingers over my labia, making sure that the flesh wouldn't get back,

and briefly chuckling, making things lower in my body tighten up even more.

The next thing I felt was his tongue sliding from my hole up to my clit,

greedily sucking the small bud into his mouth. I yelped when he sucked so hard

that it nearly hurt, but he just kept on for some moments, before running his

tongue back down my slit until he stopped at my hole, sliding his tongue inside

of me. He couldn't reach any really sensitive points this way, yet it aroused me

nevertheless. After that he kept on licking the flesh around my hole, then went

up again to lick at the flesh around my clit, to begin once more to suck on it.

This went on for quite some time, me getting really wet not just from his

saliva. Yet when I began to moan he got slower in his wanderings, finally

staying at my clit, now no longer sucking hard on it but keeping it in his mouth

while swivelling his tongue over it. From that point on it was only a matter of

minutes until he had me on the brink of orgasm. Tane haltered for a moment, and

I got really scared that he would just leave me there about to come but never

being allowed to, but it had only been to bring his mouth even closer to my

pussy, because the next moment he resumed his licking. He kept it up until the

first contractions ran through my body, accompanied by my loud panting, and then

once more changed to sucking hard while I came all over his face. He made me

last for longer than a minute, and only stopped when I sagged in my bonds, all

my energy spent in the release.

Sweat had broken out all over my body, and while I calmed down he ran his hands

all over me, making me moan regardless of my spent state. Once more my nipples

got some extra treating, although this time he only pinched them softly between

his fingers.

When I was again able to I tried to straighten up a bit in my bonds, at least

regaining my straight back, and Tane didn't scold me for that. On the contrary,

it seemed as if he had been waiting for that, because he ceased his working on

my nipples and let go of me completely. For a moment I thought he was abandoning

me now, getting a bit grumpy about that. It was really nice of him to make me

cum, yet after gathering my strength I was just about ready for the next round,

whatever he had in mind. My breasts were already beginning to tingle from being

bound, making my nipples ache from that alone, so he should at least take

advantage of this.

Once again the creaking bed indicated that he was repositioning himself, and

when I felt his hands on my thighs once more I knew that I had been right as he

was touching me form the other side once more. I was just about beginning to

wonder what he was doing now, when I felt the tip of his cock at my vagina. He

only left me enough time to exhale once, getting a good grip on my hips, and

then pushed himself up into me.

I was wet enough not to complicate everything, yet the angle was somehow askew,

and it hurt when he was fully inside of me. I whimpered a bit, trying to tell

him that I didn't feel all that comfortable, but Tane ignored it, only drawing

out about halfway to burry himself completely once more. Now I couldn't keep

from panting, making a little noise of pain, but he still went on, gaining some

speed with his balls slapping against my pussy and ass. I realized that the

position must be a bit awkward for him as he was thrusting his hips upwards to

even get his cock to my opening, but judging from his pace he managed just

fine.

His hands disappeared from my hips and instead took hold of my breasts. He

squeezed really tight, making me gasp even more, and just kept on pounding my

pussy. My sounds of pain got a bit louder, but it was not pain alone that

resonated through my body. I was just about to get aroused once more when he let

go of my breasts and stopped with his whole cock inside of me.

I had only one moment to wonder, then one of his hands landed in a forceful slap

on my right breast. I cried out in pain, only shouting again with the second

and third slap. He stopped at five, only to administer five more slaps to my

other breast. Tears sprang to my eyes and were soaked up by the blindfold. After

the slaps he resumed his humping of my vagina, yet stopped after just about one

minute to slap my tits once more.

This went on for quite some time. My breasts soon hurt a lot, and after the

sixth time of slapping I couldn't keep on whimpering and crying alone. "Please

stop, it hurts too much!" I only got a grunt for an answer, and when he slapped

me again it was harder still. Once more I begged him to stop between wails and

sobs, but Tane just kept on. The only difference was that his slaps got harder,

same as his fucking me got faster, but both could have also been coming from my

imagination. And the way his cock felt inside of me he wasn't even about to cum.

When I begged for him to stop for the third time I got ten additional slaps, but

when my wailing wouldn't cease Tane stopped and waited until I calmed down again

a bit. He shifted, getting his hands back to my hips and let them rest there. "I

give you a choice. Either get on with this until I cum, but that could take some

time as you are all wet and not really clamping down on me. Or I get the best

friend of your toy from yesterday. It's just a little shorter and lacks the

spikes. I would push it inside your wet, wet hole, secure it with some straps so

that it won't fall out, kneel down at your back and fuck your ass. That would

relieve you of the slaps, although I might pinch your nipples some more to get a

better grip on you." He chuckled briefly. "So what would you rather have, being

slapped or fucked in both holes at the same time?"

Now that he had voiced my options I really didn't know what to do. One sounded

more awful than the other. When I hadn't answered after ten seconds, Tane began

to pinch the skin of my belly. "Choose one, or I'll make the choice for you and

just keep on. You wanted the change, so what keeps you from taking the second

option?" I had to swallow hard to get my voice to work. "You're just big on your

own, I don't know if I could stand it with a wooden cock of equal calibre in my

pussy." Once more I got a chuckle from him. "It isn't that different from being

fucked by two real men. And as your ass is tighter than your pussy, even tighter

with your other hole stuffed, I will likely cum faster." Still I hesitated, and

then voiced the reason of my hesitation when he pinched me some more. "I've

never been fucked by two men at the same time, I can't say how hard that is."

Tane made a sound that closely resembled a howl. "Never?" I shook my head, and

wished for the blindfold to go away so that I could look him in the face, or at

least let him see my fear. He would have surely ignored it had he seen it, yet I

wanted him to know that I was just uncomfortable about that. "Well, then it's

about time for you to experience this. Change of plan, you don't have a choice,

I'll just do it."

Without waiting for objections from my side he slid out of me and jumped off the

bed. For a moment I thought about protesting, but kept my mouth shut. I could

always start when it really got worse.

It took Tane quite a while to find his not so little second toy, making me even

more uncomfortable. The longer he was away from me, the softer his penis would

get, and if the end of this would be him coming, I wanted it to happen fast.

With a shout of triumph Tane came back to me, making the bed rock when he jumped

on it. Without further hesitation he got behind me and then slipped his hands

around my waist, leaning with his head on my shoulder. "Just don't tighten up,

you should be wet enough for it to go in without problems." That was all the

warning I got, the next moment he began sliding the wooden prick up my vagina.

Of course I tightened my muscles, making him grunt a bit, but after some to and

fro he finally succeeded in getting that damned thing fully inside of me. It

didn't really hurt, only my fright kept me gasping.

Next came some construction of leather straps, but there must have been more

than just straps because when he had finished applying it to my body my whole

crotch was covered, yet leaving my ass bare. Once again I wished to be able to

see down my body, yet discarded that idea the moment Tane began to direct his

cock up my anus. I had been wrong, he was still rock hard, but needed to be so

to make it up inside of me.

After much grunting and panting he had finally succeeded and stopped for a

moment, I guess to catch some breath. I really felt stuffed, full to the brim,

but as long as he didn't move it was just a strange feeling, nothing really

hurt. Then he began to fuck me, at first gripping my waist, then letting his

hands roam up to cup my breasts once more, and it began to hurt once more. This

time the pain just didn't keep the pleasure down, but somehow fuelled my arousal

once more. Soon I was gasping from pain and pleasure both, matching the amount

of sound that came from the bastard that was fucking my ass.

Tane slowed down for a moment and moved his hands away from my burning breasts

to drag my blindfold down from my eyes to my neck. My eyes needed a lot of time

to adjust to the light, even if it was dim, because I had to shut them once more

when he resumed fondling my nipples. When I finally managed to see something I

looked down on my breasts, watching him knead the swollen, red flesh. It somehow

hurt even more when I saw how my tits looked, but didn't pay all that much

attention to that when Tane sped up fucking my ass even more.

With a roar he finally came. I could feel him convulse at my back, making me

scream when he squeezed my nipples harder still. Then he went still, yet kept

his tight grip on my nipples while softly kissing my neck. My screaming quieted

down to whimpers while tears began to run down my cheeks. When he finally let go

of me completely I whimpered some more, unable to stop just because the pain

didn't increase any more.

I kept whimpering while he slowly let my down on the bed again and undid the

bonds of my arms and the ones that kept me to the ropes for adjusting height,

yet left the bonds around my breasts, waist and pussy, same as the leather

straps that bound my legs and kept the wooden cock inside of me. After that he

gently pressed me down to lay at my back, with my legs now tied in an awkward

way, but as I was able to draw my knees closer to my chest it was bearable. My

tits, pussy and ass seemed to be on fire, the worst being my inner pussy lips as

the ropes had chaffed my labia all the while he had been fucking me, both him

alone and with the additional cock. Although my hands were free once again I

didn't do more then align them at my sides, waiting for him to undo the rest.

After discarding all the now unnecessary ropes on the floor Tane got up on the

bed again and crawled over to me. His cheeks were flushed and he looked a bit

drained but also satisfied. When he caught my gaze he didn't smile but kept an

earnest impression on his face, same as before all this had started. He extended

one hand and lightly ran it over the flesh of my breast, making me noisily draw

in some air between my teeth.

"Oh so tender is that flesh now, I wonder what you would do would I start biting

down on it." I grunted for a reply. "Haven't you pinched me enough?" He chuckled

briefly, then leaned over and softly blew some air over my nipples. My

traitorous nipples had nothing better to do than stand up erect, getting hard

instantly and hurting even a tad bit more. "See, even if you don't want to go

on, your body is not finished yet." Once again he didn't wait for me to answer

but instead leaned over me and encompassed most of one breast within his mouth,

sucking it up inside while lightly scraping the flesh with his teeth. For a

while he kept sucking and rolling his tongue around my nipple, then drew back a

bit with only my nipple staying in his mouth - and began to lightly gnaw on it.

At first I whimpered, then frowned, until I had to chuckle a bit. It didn't hurt

because he didn't really bite down on my nipple, but tickled it with his teeth.

By the time he was working on my other nipple he had to hold me down with both

hands to keep me from either evading him or drawing my feet up enough to keep

him from my breasts.

When he was satisfied with the result he stopped and looked up at me again. It

was a strange look, one that somehow chased away the smile on my face but let me

get serious once more. It wasn't threatening, on the contrary, but was so full

of hunger and lust that it made my throat tighten. The next moment he was all

over me, bringing his lips down on my mouth, nearly crushing my lips with his,

his tongue slipping greedily inside my mouth. All the while his hands undid

first the straps that kept my thighs and ankles together, then removed the

leather that held the wooded cock inside me.

I waited for him to remove the cock and instead fill me with his own, but he let

it inside and pushed his once more stiff prick next to my already stuffed hole.

When he began to push his member inside of me alongside the wooden substitute I

instantly bucked, but Tane had my hands trapped in only seconds, stopping my

jerking efficiently and stared down at me. He kept pushing, and it hurt, making

me try to buck once more. "Stop it, you are aroused enough, wet as water, so

don't cramp now and it won't hurt." I could just stare up at him. "You are mad!

Your cock alone is big enough to cause some women problems; I simply can't take

two in one hole!" He only smiled, although sweat began to break out on his

forehead. "But you are not some women, I have fucked you properly enough to have

loosened up any remains from former muscle pains, and I know that you can

stretch enough to get me in, too. It's just your mind that keeps me out."

He pushed in again, and I screamed at him that it was my body, not my mind, that

didn't let that work. Tane chose to ignore me once again and instead resumed

kissing me, nearly suffocating me for a moment when he stifled my cry with his

lips. He kept working on although I didn't relax until the head of his cock was

inside me. My pussy felt as if he was splitting me in two, which he probably

was.

Tane let go of my hands and instead weaved his fingers into my hair. I started

to cry while futilely trying to push his body off mine with my arms, but when he

didn't move I went slack, resigning myself to just cry nearly soundlessly. He

let me for a while, and then started kissing me once more. I resisted for a

moment but was even too tired to keep his tongue out of my mouth, so I let him,

yet with a minimum of movement from my side.

His kisses got a tad more persistent until I finally joined in, wrapping my arms

around his shoulders. The pain in my pussy was still hot and pulsing, but if he

kept still this way, just stretching me open, I would be able to live with it.

Of course he didn't

I only tightened my arms around his neck when he moved his hands down my body

for support, and began to push further into me. He kept his motions small, while

kneading the flesh of my pussy lips with his hands, and soon succeeded in

slipping in further. I moaned against his lips, still more tears streaming down

my face, but let him get on as I couldn't stop him. In the end it was me being

slack and nearly lifeless that got him deep inside of me. When he found it deep

enough he began to make small movements with his hips, resulting in sliding both

his cock and the wooden prick just about an inch in and out of me, making me

pant all the louder. With his hips and legs over my body he made the ropes chafe

once more, torturing my pussy lips and clit.

Tane's hands wandered to my legs and he brought them up to show me to wrap them

around his body. I simply submitted and did it, holding on to him as much as

possible, trying to relieve some of the pain to him. He kept this on for about

five minutes, all the while kissing me passionately as if to keep me from

screaming. Just when I thought I simply couldn't take it anymore he reached down

once more to unwrap my left leg from his body so that he could slide his hand to

my pussy and with his next thrust into me took hold of the wooden penis to

wretch it out of my pussy.

I bucked against him and let out another whimpering moan while pressing myself

even more against the bed. For some seconds it simply hurt, while I could feel

the walls of my pussy contracting to once more settle around his cock. When he

showed me the wooded prick I could see that it was covered in a grimy sheen

consisting of my and his juices and just a little blood. The way it felt it

should have been deep red, but apparently he hadn't damaged me all that much.

Tane threw the wood from the bed to embrace me once more, guiding his lips back

to mine. When he resumed fucking me it was still a bit painful, but was kind of

a relief to how it had felt before. With that obstacle out of the way my body

soon responded to his, and before long I was panting solely out of arousal.

When he finally came again he stopped moving after sliding his cock out of me, but

kept on kissing me still. My lips already felt kind of bruised but I didn't

complain, just wriggled in his arms to keep my body pressed to his. By the time

he stopped kissing me to draw his head back a little to just gaze at my face he

was slack again, and my hopes for coming a second time dwindled.

Outside the rain was still pouring on, but it had to be mid-afternoon by now. My

stomach began to complain already as I had not eaten since yesterday evening,

but Tane didn't seem to mind just laying around here with me in his arms. Still

he seemed to wait for me to complain, if not about the lack of food then about

this way of handling me, but I took my time.

He was just stroking my cheeks when I couldn't hold my tongue any longer and

caught his gaze with mine. "I won't ask for your deeper motivations for doing

that, just tell me why." Laughter sparkled in his eyes while he kept on stroking

my face. "Tell you why what?" I growled deep in my throat and thought about

hitting him somewhere, but discarded that idea. Right now I was feeling rather

okay, if a little bruised again, and I didn't want to change that for the worse.

"You know exactly what I mean. Don't keep avoiding me."

He chuckled and hugged me, not really paying attention to my silent resistance.

"The answer should be obvious." That just made me frown. "To hurt me?" He shook

his head. "To stretch you open a bit." Which didn't do a thing to lighten my

frown. "What for? Until now I didn't have the impression that my pussy needed

any kind of stretching exercise." Once more I got a laugh for an answer. "You

will be thanking me in the future for that, so quit fuming over it. I can tell

that it at least partly aroused you so quit bitching. If we keep this on for a

few days you won't feel much pain any longer when I'll begin working on you with

my hands."

Now that only let my suspicion rise. "Quit talking like that, simply tell me

what you intend to do to me. I don't like your shady hints." He just smiled

while he leaned towards me. "I'm going to do exactly what it sounds like. I'm

going to slide one of my hands inside your pussy up to at least above my wrist;

and you will love it. Don't stare at me this way, we might even get to two hands

if you relax enough."

I didn't quit staring at him, but instead turned around in his arms to show him

the proverbial cold shoulder. Tane just tightened his hand around my waist and

drew me to him until my back touched his chest and he softly kissed my neck.

"Don't get mad at me, just believe me. Have I not been right with most of my

predictions until now? I know how I can drive you insane from pleasure, why not

trust me now?" I blinked but stayed at my side, not looking at him. "Because it

hurts. And that's just perverted." He stopped kissing my skin to chuckle. "As if

that wouldn't apply to most what we are doing. Believe me, you'll love it."

He kept on kissing me for a while longer, but I still wouldn't turn around. I

wasn't really mad at him, but tried to keep my mind from thinking about his

words, and just staring at the wall was a good way to accomplish that. When he

realized that nothing would be coming from me he let go of me and got up,

murmuring something about cooking us something to eat. For a moment I thought

about getting up to help him, but decided to just stay here until he had finished

and came to fetch me.

After half an hour I couldn't stand it any longer and got up to meet Tane in the

kitchen. As I lacked once more a change of fresh clothes I just slipped a

blanket over my nude body - not that my modesty bade it from me, it was simply

too cold to go without clothes. Tane just briefly looked at me and kept on

stirring something in a pot while I flopped down in one of the leather chairs in

front of the well-lit fireplace. While he cooked I just stared into the flames,

letting their light and warmth slide over me.

When the stew was done we ate it, while Tane began to talk about some very

casual things. After dinner he even tried to teach me some more, but we both

knew that I was due for some practical lessons, and as the rain hadn't lessened

over the day he soon stopped and we went back to bed. It was still too early to

go to sleep, and I was grumpy enough for him to be content with hugging me and

reading a book. With my head resting on his shoulder I could have tried to

pursue the same task, but the text didn't interest me, and soon I fell into a

light kind of slumber. Another day passed, and I still didn't know if my life

had changed for the better.
