I woke up to a shiver in my bones and silky sheets beneath me. Above me was a stern-faced woman with a sharp glare. Some few seconds passed as I blinked up at her, wondering who and where I was. The cold froze my brain and I did not wake fully till she started to speak.
“Up, you vile thing!” I dodged the smack of her broom as it came down upon me, a sneer gracing her face as I sprung into action.
“Who the deuce are you, lady!” I spluttered. On instinct, I reached for my bow. Glancing around, I realised I was not in a familiar place. Her broom smacked me in the face while I was distracted. I hissed, grabbing the broom from her.
She halted when I disarmed her. It was her turn to hiss when I smacked her with the broom.
“Who am I? I am the King’s Head Maid! I clean this place. It is not for whores,” She said. “This is the King’s private chambers! You are far away from the harem!” She breathed. She was not a dragon. She could not breathe smoke but she tried. “How dare you dirty w***e crawl into his bed! Get out!”
I saw red. Me, a w***e? And a w***e for none other than a dragon!
I smacked her out of the room. She yelled and screamed and tried to get back her broom but I beat her until she ran out. She slammed the door in my face before I could follow after her.
I sank back into the bed, rubbing goose bumps off my arm. My dress had ridden up to expose my thighs. I cast my mind back to the previous night. I had been so warm. I looked around for the fur coat the beast had given me and I found it discarded on the floor close to the bath. So how had I been so warm?
The door to the chambers pushed open and I readied my broom as my only weapon.
Two men walked in with the woman trailing behind them. She clutched her cheeks with watery eyes and sniffed. Her eyes were hard as she led in the King’s men.
“That’s the w***e that does not know her place!” She pointed at me. The two broad-shouldered men moved towards me. I gripped the broom tighter. The first one to get to me got a hard smack. I dodged the second one as he blundered towards me. The lady watched in anger as I literally fought off two dragon warriors with a broom.
Then the broom broke in half.
They both gripped me from my underarm and hauled me out of the room.
“Stupid slut. You think you can crawl into the king’s chambers and seduce him? You don’t have the magic to seduce a full-grown black dragon!” One of the men sneered at me. They dragged me as I fought them.
“What is this?” A chilly voice startled the men to a halt. I looked up from trying to stump the feet of my captors to see yet another broad-shouldered man.
He too was shirtless and if it wasn’t for the colour of the ink on his skin, I would have mistaken him for the king. His mass filled a doorway. His hair was a brilliant black and his lips were upturned in a demeaning sneer.
“My lord!” The beasts and woman straightened immediately.
“What a pleasant surprise!” The stern-faced woman lost her sneer as she exclaimed.
The man ignored his admirers to look upon me. When his gaze swept over me, I knew he felt for me what I felt for him. And perhaps even worse.
“My brother still goes about with human women?” He turned his cold eyes back to his subordinates.
The men nodded mutely to answer his question. His gaze returned to me, assessing me again. “What has this one done?”
“She escaped from His Lordship’s w***e house. We suspect a plan of seduction, My Lord.” The woman was so excited to be his informant, she quivered from it.
“Humans. Vile things,” He tutted.
“You are the vile ones! You abominable creatures of the dark!” I growled. I broke free of one of the guards but the other held on more firmly, preventing me from smacking some sense into their arrogant prince.
He jerked, taken aback by my outburst before one bushy brow rose in challenge. The men holding me glanced at each other in fright.
“Since you’re my beloved brother’s w***e, I shall let him deal with you,” He said in the same aloof manner as the king. “He will enjoy breaking your spirit much more than I would enjoy cutting out your tongue.” He pushed off from the wall he had been leaning on. “Where is he?” He addressed his fellow beasts.
“We don’t know, my Lord. We are taking her back to the w***e house.”
“Very well. Have fun with her.” Then he strode off, leaving the path clear for us.
After a few corridors and more stairs, the men pushed open a door. The heavy door creaked open and loud moans rose up in the air to greet us. They were all high pitched and female, long and drawn out like a rehearsal.
The men pushed me into the room and I came face to face with a live intercourse show. It was the lewdest thing I ever witnessed in my life. Girls were spread out everywhere in the large room. Most were sleeping through the ruckus of the other four. Their bodies were bare without shame, breasts open as they suckled each other.
They moaned loudly, two of them inviting the men forward with their heated gaze, throwing their head back and pushing their chest forward.
“Come join us, we can make you feel good,” One of the ladies moaned, reaching a hand out to the newcomers. She cried out sharply as the girl suckling her from beneath did something.
“Shut up, wench! You’re the king’s property. Do not embarrass him by being so cheap!” One of the men gripping me sneered. His voice was not so hard as he had used on me.
“But we are so needy,” Another girl purred, panting slightly. She turned herself on the bed on which they conducted their – activities. She turned herself and I turned my head quickly as she gave the men a full view of her v****a right before she thrust her fingers into herself.
“And so wet.” Another moaned, mirroring the position of the first. “The king is busy. Would you not like to fill us up? We would like that very much” Their cries grew louder as they worked.
“Disgusting,” The woman who brought all this upon me crowed, thumping out.
“We have returned one of you.” A dragon rasped. “Where is the king?”
“Oh, a new girl.” Two of the girls squealed, jumping out of the bed. Their breasts bounced as they raced towards me.
Without warning, one of them pushed her hands into my inner thigh. I slapped her hand away and it reddened.
“Oh, this one is feisty! “ She cried out in glee. “His Lordship is going to treasure her. He’s in there with Zora, “ She nodded at a curtain that we had all missed. “She’s a fighter,” She whispered conspiratorially.
“And pretty too,” The other girl gazed at me in glee. “Look at that hair! Zora’s has never been this red and bright no matter the products she applies.”
“And those lovely eyes, So green and wide. The king is going to be so busy with you, I’m almost jealous! But I’ll have time to heal up and get nice and tight for him again!” She fanned herself with her hands. “Goodness, he’s a beast. The way he tears me up.” She started to moan again.
I could not remember a time in my life when I had been so embarrassed. The girl right in front of me had gone back to pleasuring herself right where she stood. One hand pushing into her opening while the other plucked at her n*****s. I turned away in time to see one of the dragons lick his lips.
“Do you not know this girl?” One of the men demanded with a husky voice.
“No,” The other girl cried while still pleasuring herself. “But I must admit I will like to know her!”
“Don’t we all? That mouth was specially carved to suck cock.” The other girl said, turning to help her friend with her arousal.
The dragon looked at me. I served him a blow when his hazy eyes dropped to my lips.
“What the – you wench!” He roared. I jumped out of the way when he came at me. I evaded him twice until the other dragon crowded into me from behind and blocked me off.
I ducked his first blow, jabbing quickly at his lower stomach as he tried to strangle me. The other dragon yanked my hands back, twisting them painfully. I bit back a cry of pain, raising my right leg in a kick as high as I could go. It caught him in the knee. He grabbed my leg and twisted till I cried out in pain.
The back curtains wrenched open. The sudden presence startled everyone except the girls moaning louder now.
The king came out with a nude, small-statured girl with dyed red hair and small pouty lips that were swollen.
“Silence!” He barked at the moaning ladies and they seized their noise at once. He turned to us with a ferocious glare. Even the dragons fighting me cowered back. His gaze slid over me without thought and focused on the beast that had just tried to render me lame.
“What are you doing here?” His voice was cold and dangerous. I took a step back along with the others.
“We – we found one of your whores in your – your chambers and we – we decided to bring her back to the w***e house, my – my Lord. “ The beast physically trembled beside me, quelling under the king’s stare. I glared at him, celebrating in his distress.
“I see,” The king muttered. He did not see. He did not see anything at all. He turned to the other man with the same cold and calculated expression. The beast’s gaze dropped to the ground. “And what were you searching for in my chambers?”
“We were called, my lord. She beat the cleaner and would not leave when she was asked to.”
“Did you put her in there?” He asked.
“My – my lord?” They both looked taken aback by the question.
“Did you put her in there?” He directed his gaze to the first man.
“N – no my lord.”
“Zephyr?”
“I did not, my lord.” The second dragon cowered.
“Then I take it you have conspired to steal from me.” He shook his head.
“M – my lord!?”
“Remind me, what is the consequence of theft in this kingdom?”
“When a dragon imagines taking from another’s hoard, the consequence of such an abominable act is death at the hands of the wronged.” The dragon named recited.
“Let me see your hands.” He took a step towards the beast that had tried to yank out my leg.
“M – my lord?” His step faltered as he moved backwards.
“Your thieving hands, Zephyr. Or have you turned thief and deaf in such a short time?”
Zephyr held out quivering hands while we watched with hitched breaths. Even the king’s whores abandoned their ministration to stare at them.
He placed both of his hands in Zephyr's, gripping firmly. He held on while the other man gnashed his teeth to hold his cries at bay. The crushing of bones sounded in the still air. Finally, he could not hold back his cries anymore. He howled out as his bones were crushed to powder.
“Take that as a fair warning.” He turned to leave. “Let it be known in and outside this castle that no one touches this one but me.” Then he drew the red-haired girl into his arms and they disappeared back into where they had emerged.
