The dungeon was quiet for years, the quarter of an ancient city buried in the sands of time. The Master could plot in peace, and his minions lived with no fear other than his insane lusts. The magic of the sorcerer and the latent energy of the demon wastes were enough to keep them satisfied, even happy sometimes. Their overlord was an old schemer, older even than the incubi. He insisted that he served an even greater power that demanded certain loyalties, but this mysterious "Rajah" never called on the master, either to pass judgement or praise. The peace was only broken when a group of adventurers went on an ill-advised mission to find the ancient city.

The first sign was a pile of sand near the entrance, complete with footprints from at least three different intruders. The beast that guarded the first rooms for hundreds of years was found dead, his magical earring stolen from his corpse. The minions of the Master were nervous at first to tell him anything, and the bravest of them went off in secret to try to ambush the adventurers. The others waited for their return, huddled in the wide, marble common area that was once a temple above ground in the Age of Demons.

There were more than a dozen of them there, biting their claws in anticipation. The Master's taste in servants was erratic, and a rainbow of demons- from a huge sleek ebony panther to a small pink-furred badger-morph- were talking to each other in hushed tones and trying to comfort each other.

A chocolate-brown rabbit with wickedly long horns and a red splash of fur on his front was holding the pink badger while she sniffed back a tear. "I can't think straight when there's no way to know what's going on. We have to tell him. He could... look in a crystal ball or something."

The rabbit shrugged and nodded as he spoke in a smooth, effeminate tenor. "We will, as soon as they are dead. Maybe he can summon a new Beast, too," he said as he gave her a light pat on the head.

A dark, powerful voice echoed from the steps behind the altar. The soft click of magical boots was like the beating of a mortal heart as he slowly descended. "A new Beast? What happened to my Beast?" The Rakshasa was a bearded tiger, his eyes steel gray and his stripes mostly hidden beneath a regal cloak. As his gaze wandered from guilty face to guilty face, his rage seemed to grow to a head. "One of you will let me know what happened," he said in a voice barely above a whisper, stepping down and meeting them on the ground floor.

There was an audible gulp from a few of the demons, and the powerful-looking panther stepped forward and started to speak, "My Lord Rakshasa Akio, we found the Beast-"

The sorcerer's claws shot up to the panther's throat and dragged him down to meet the intense metallic stare. "I do not want your words. Let me into your mind," the tiger snarled at him as the larger servant tried to croak out an apology. After a few seconds of silent gazing, he tossed the panther down to his feet and roared a short curse followed by a laugh.

"Hell's teeth! Adventurers," he said and snapped his fingers over the altar, and the pool filled with water by magic. "They took the bait, so let's check in on them, shall we? I bet those 'brave' idiots that decided to fight them are having their corpses looted right now," he snorted dismissively as he waved a hand over the cistern and an image started to take shape.

Several other demons crowded around the scrying pool as the image sharpened. It was a ring... the magic ring that once adorned the Beast! It was being worn around the neck of a lithe wolf, and the pool showed more and more as time went on. The wolf was with three more adventurers- and they were fighting the last surviving demon from the loyal group of six that went to face them. The canine flung daggers with incredible speed, and the other warrior- a horse- seemed surrounded by a glow of psionic energy as he engaged the demon in claw-to-claw combat. The other two were huddled together, the beautiful white dog healing the robed, grizzled-looking bear.

"Standard kind of group, but the blessed warrior has some mental magic assisting his weapons," the overlord muttered as he watched his servant get slaughtered by a blast of fire magic. The other demons, looking at their ally perish, stared at each other and grimaced. "Looks like... yes, there's the mage. This is what we were all warned against. Dragon servants, here to see if they can claim another hoard for their masters no doubt."

The Rakshasa looked around at his servants and saw their fear. He shook his head as if he were saddened by the whole situation, but the demons braced themselves for an insane rant. "Well, you all did a wonderful job. You gathered up my most loyal servants and sent them to fight without telling me. You failed to close off the entrance so that the intruders could come and go as they please. But most of all, you acted against my wishes by not informing me of anything that happens first." The mad gaze of his eyes wandered over every guilty face. "You can still fix one of those mistakes. It isn't your job to make descicions and protect me. It's your job to do what I tell you and let me protect you. You obviously need reminding.

"I will be back for you," he finished simply without exploding in anger. He strode out of the temple and into the tunnels of his lair, alone.

The demons took a deep breath once he was gone, the panther picking himself up off the ground and trembling with repressed emotion after being mentally invaded by his master. "Everybody who isn't scrying, go guard the entrance," he ordered hollowly as he towered over the other servants, looking into the scrying pool to see what would happen next. The others, seeing the wisdom of his words, fled to obey him before they found themselves in the dungeon.

***

Akio carefully came up behind the group of 'god'-worshipers, using the home field advantage to take them while they were in an enclosed space. At the back was the beautiful spellcaster, a holy woman wearing shining armor. Beyond her was the grizzled bear that could fling fireballs. He grinned as he raised all of his magical defenses and then thrust forth a claw that crackled with lightning. The spell was simple, but effective- merely an electrical discharge that flowed in a straight line down the tunnel.

The wolf seemed to move beyond quick, dodging the spell entirely as it shot down the passage and hit his equine friend in the back. Every other beast was severely burned by the stroke of lightning, the grizzled bear convulsing on the ground before falling unconscious. The healer gasped and rushed over to help him recover again. The rakshasa grinned superiorly as he saw the horse sporting a wounded back and the spellcasters disabled before the fight even began- all with one powerful blast.

Akio roared out a laugh as the canine rogue dashed behind him with a graceful tumble, avoiding his claws. The warrior closed in so that they flanked with each other, and then horse and wolf both tried to slash at him. His magical defenses included an illusion that made him seem a few inches displaced, and that ruined the organ-seeking strike of the wolf. His demonic form resisted the psychically-enhanced greathammer that the horse swung, and he caught the blow easily on his forearm without much harm.

The shining spellcaster was back in the fray after stabilizing her comrade and sitting him up against the tunnel wall. She raised a paw that glowed with holy light and leveled her gaze at him triumphantly. "By the power of the Silver Flame! Die, monster!" A blast of destabilizing ascendant energy rained down on him, but he raised a paw above his head and shielded his form with an incredible spell resistance.

"Mortal spellcasting. It never gets old." He grunted as he lowered his gaze at the holy man in front of him rather than engaging the armored woman. His own magic surged into his stare and voice as he asked the well-muscled horse silkily, "Isn't it time you cleansed that witch, soldier? Destroy her."

"Cleanse... the witch..." the horse's eyes softened as he turned his burned back on the demon and raised his hammer against his comrade. "Destroy." Rather than stand and fight, the young woman slowly backed away, drawing the horse away from the range of the devil's touch and leaving him alone with the rogue.

Akio turned and faced the wolf as the agile warrior dashed all around him again, feinting his way into another failed organ strike. The rogue examined his bloodless dagger with a terrified look before a smashing metal sound signified the end of their healer, making him whip his head around. The tiger grabbed the wolf's face and left a blindness spell behind. Milky white eyes were revealed when he took his paws away- they blinked rapidly and dashed about, searching for a target to strike fruitlessly.

The lupine thief fell to his knees and started rummaging around in a magical bag while mumbling something about a healing kit. Akio shook his head and turned back to the holy warrior- the horse was approaching him slowly and heaving. The soldier was holding his bloodied hammer and seemed a little confused.

"I... I destroyed the witch, sir." Something stirred behind his eyes, but then they softened again. "Anything else, sir?"

"No, just one moment." Akio turned to the wolf and kicked his bag away roughly, and the wolf gasped as he found his paws suddenly empty. He grabbed the chain around the adventurer's neck that held the cursed ring and pulled him up roughly. An insane grin played on his face as he cooed out, "Do you ever want to see again, little mortal?"

The lithe warrior started to blubber in his face. Akio shook him and roared, "Well, do you? Are you going to cooperate? Do you want to see again?"

"Yes!" The wolf's useless eyes started to leak tears. "Fine, I get it! Yes, I want to see again! I don't worship the Flame like they do, please, I'll be reasonable!"

"I always knew. Heretic. Destroy," the horse started forward before Akio raised a paw to stop him.

"I'll take care of the 'heretic'," he chuckled as he emptied out a pocket of metal-and-leather instruments and put a pair of loosely connected shackles onto the agile warrior's wrists, handing more restraints to the mind-slave and commanding, "You bind the hands and mouths of the witches." The canine whimpered and turned his head all around, as if it would help him pick up light better somehow.

"Hey, I told you I would be reasonable," he whined pitifully, before Akio slapped him in the face. "What? I- What?" Another slap, and he finally hung his head in silence. Akio grinned and put a collar onto him tightly.

Demons started to enter the tunnel, lifting away the two unconscious captives and pulling the third by a lead. Akio dusted his hands off and turned to face the horse again. "Well, you'll be breaking free of that spell any minute. You have no fear if you're like the other servants of the gods i've faced. What should I do with you?" The tiger rubbed his beard with a paw and then shrugged. "Ah, well, I'll think of something in a few years. Until then." He tapped the paladin on the forehead with an arcane phrase of power, and the mighty equine warrior started to shrink and change form, not stopping until he was a tiny mottled gray pidgeon. Akio bound his wings to his body with a cruelly powerful anti-dragon spell and then tossed him to the large black panther demon that had come to help clean up after the battle. "Put this holy warrior into a cage until I figure out what to do with him. Then assemble the ranks so that I may punish you."

***

The lower dungeon had occupants for the first time in years. Akio's servants were usually careful not to raise his ire, but now there were immortal demons chained next to the mortal intruders- all of the ones that refused his invasive telepathic gaze were held in enchanted stocks, awaiting their worst fears. Even those who enjoyed lighter forms of discipline dreaded coming down to the 'red room,' the torture room where Akio played with mortals (and practiced on demons). The two spellcasters were still unconscious, chained to the wall and snoring heavily with gags stuffed into their mouths. The wolf whimpered every time one of the demons made a sound, feeling at the chain around his neck with his bound paws as if he could escape from it. But that struggle ended after twenty minutes worth of blindly and desperately improvising tools. The shackles were magical, somehow, not requiring keys.

Akio would sometimes take a demon out of the stocks they were bound in and lead them away up the stairs- usually while they broke down crying. When he came back the fourth or fifth time, the adventurer spoke up as the heavy door opened. "Heeey! Hey, Tiger-Man! That's you coming down here, right? Heeey Rakshasa! Big Bad Evil Guy! Hey!"

Akio walked over and calmly slapped him in the face. "You will call me Lord the next time you wish to address me. For interrupting-"

"Yeah, okay, Lord! I get it! Listen, Lord, I just wanted to-"

"Interrupting me again!" Instead of a slap in the face, the rakshasa gripped his ear with cruel claws, making him cringe and cry out. "Do you think you have nothing left to fear? Do you think I will kill you like the dragons would?" Akio snarled at the wolf in rage, making the demons around him tremble in their stocks. "You mortals are all the same! When I return, perhaps I shall put out your eyes permanently!"

"Lord, I told you I would be reasonable, right?" The adventurer pleaded as the Master of the buried city plodded away and decided on the huge panther for the punishment, removing the gag from their mouth as they started to wail softly and grab onto his robes. The wolf bullied on, babbling nervously as if he had rehearsed it. "I'm sure that we could be allies. I've assasinated two dragonmarked nobles. I could be your agent in the field, movin inna shabbowsh- whu- whuryudoon?" He tried to continue babbling as Akio shoved his fingers in the canine's cheeks and worked the dripping used gag from the demonic feline into his mouth, cutting off his monologue as it devolved into a sobbing scream. "Mrr! Kerrnnpphf rirrnk! Ish horrdg! Radshashaaaaaah!"

Akio shook his head and dragged off his sniveling servant, leaving the wolf alone for much longer than before. His calls for the master to return and hear him out eventually gave way to a pitiful sobbing, some of the chained demons cooing out their consolation through their own gags. This noise only made it worse, as he couldn't see the sorrowful expressions on their faces and only heard the sounds of a struggle.

The screams from the chamber above seemed harsher this time, as if the Master were taking out his anger on the panther. The wolf tried not to listen as one of the demons around him reacted to a long scream with a sympathetic sniff. When the devil returned, his first act was to remove the gag from the wolf and to demand, "Apologize."

"I'm sorry, Lord," the rogue wasn't weeping, perhaps because all of his tears were already spilled to cover the ground around him. "Please forgive me for being so insulting, Lord." The child-like ring to his voice had been replaced by a hollow, choking stutter. He finished in a hoarse whisper, "I don't want to escape anymore. Please don't gag me like that again. I'm sorry."

Akio grinned and stayed silent as he led the adventurer up the stairs by his collar and lead carefully, making sure that his fragile mortal prisoner didn't trip and choke himself like some of the clumsier demons did. Not getting a response from his captor for apologizing, the wolf merely followed behind, dreading what was to come.

Akio stopped once they were on the smooth marble-and-grate floor of his torture sanctum. He closed the door, and the rogue's sharp hearing picked out several locks that were closed not with keys, but magic passwords too archaic to make out. The tiger removed the wolf's studded leather armor from his prisoner's midsection and shoulders carefully, noting that it held an expensive enchantment to help his acrobatics. The wolf stood stock still as he was stripped, first his upper body armor, then his greaves and leather pants. He had been punished before in a city jail, and knew what was coming when his undershirt was ripped harshly off by the tiger's claws. He braced himself, but still couldn't help but give a yelp of pain when the devil laid two harsh lashes of a whip across his back.

"Good, good." The rakshasa looked among his other odd instruments as he cracked the whip in the air. "Now that you know what will happen if you stay silent, would you rather talk- or be whipped?" He laid another blow on the wolf's back as he said the word whipped to give it extra emphasis, making the wolf cry out again.

"Talk! I'll talk! I'll tell you anything!" The blind wolf was now desperate as he heard the rakshasa put down the whip and pick up something new.

"What a little bitch," Akio shook his head and now started to act as if he were in a fine mood, but the rogue didn't count on it lasting long. Though he couldn't see the sarcastic smile, he could hear every revealed tooth and shook with fear. "You're such a good bitch that I think it's about time you were able to see again. You can earn your sight back, you know I told that."

The wolf's tail was tucked firmly between his legs, but Akio removed it before he removed his final undergarments as well, raising his fluffy tail up to see the wolf's rear as the canine bent over slightly from instinct. He was soon asking, "would you do anything?" and pressing something wet against his tailhole.

The wolf's useless eyes darted around and his jaw dropped. For some reason, the wet sensation was worse than the pain of the whipping. He couldn't form enough of a sentence in his mind to refuse or accept. His mouth went from hanging open in shock to twitching uncontrollably as new emotions started to fight each other in his mind.

Akio put the magic item down and grabbed the whip again. After a lash and a few loud cracks, the wolf seemed to break and screamed, "you can do what you want to me, okay? Please! Please do it to me already!" He bent over and raised his tail grudgingly, useless eyes screwed shut.

The wet item was up against his tailhole again almost before he could think. "You have to accept it. Take a deep breath and just accept whatever will happen," a sweet deep voice breathed into his ear. Akio didn't bother empowering the request with any magic. The cursed item might not have worked if he didn't accept it on his own. The wolf hung his head and whimpered, and his ass loosened significantly. The tiger-like spirit purred all the while, "Good, what a good little bitch you are. What an obedient thing. You're almost there. Take it all in and you'll feel better."

The item was like a small cone with the wide end capped by a rod and plate, all of it coated in some soft, rubbery material. The wolf gasped and gave a few whimpers as the plug entered his asshole, and then howled in pain as it slipped in all the way and popped his hole mostly closed again. Brilliant light shone around the wolf for a moment before his body was revealed to the rakshasa again. The demon took a sharp breath and then snapped his fingers.

"Marvelous. Take a look at yourself." He spun the wolf to face a polished mirror, and the canine fell to the ground in shock. Light flooded into the newly-repaired eyes as they surveyed the changes that the item he accepted bestowed.

His short-cropped hair was the same... his wolfish face was softer somehow... his muscles had faded a bit in his upper body, and his chest had expanded and now sported a pair of larger-than-average breasts. His male endowment didn't feel like it was gone- it didn't even feel smaller- but a quick feel with his manacled paw assured him that it had shrunk down to the size of a pea and was hiding on top of the folds of flesh between his legs. The wolf whimpered as the rakshasa lifted the lead gently.

"Now you're going to tell me that you'll keep being a good little bitch," Akio said softly as he fondled the handle of his whip. The wolf only stared in stunned silence at the reflection until another harsh welt was cracked into his back, a high-pitched scream ripping past the collar out of his lungs.

"I'll keep being a good bitch," a hoarse female voice gasped out past the collar. The wolf seemed taken aback by the tone. "It's not the mirror, Lord...? The plug is gone... so... I really... I'm-" the wolf tenderly rubbed a nipple with a bound paw and shuddered at the sensitivity. "I'll be good... Lord." The eyes of the 'girl' lingered on the mirror as 'she' started to accept what had happened.

"Yes, you will, I can tell. Good..." the rakshasa put his whip back, and took a long length of rope from the table instead. Akio's eyes were narrowed in concentration as he carefully knotted the rope around his captive's neck. The lupine form under him writhed as he brought the rope between her legs and bound her tail tight to her back, threading the rope in a web-like pattern past her sensitive breasts and pulling the entire arrangement tight.

Akio unshackled the wolf's paws and then bound her wrists tightly behind her back, her arms shaking the whole time out of terror. The leading end of the rope still had plenty of slack for him to hold onto, so he detached his prisoner's lead and collar and set it aside with the manacles. The wolf coughed cutely as the pressure on her throat was relieved, chest heaving both from the tight ropes and the newly added weight of the full breasts hanging down. The tiger grinned and pulled her a short ways by her lead, towards the middle of the room.

Before she knew what was happening, the rakshasa had thrown the rope over a metal wheel above her and then pulled down, lifting her off of the ground with all his strength. He tied the rope to a hook and then hooked it to the grate in the floor, suspending the wolf in mid-air. She gasped and cried out as she hung in the air, kicking her legs to try to find purchase and swinging helplessly. The tiger growled and gave a quick scratch to her thigh to encourage her to stop, and she settled down, gasping out short sobs and small moans of pain. She was completely helpless and alone.

"I could give you your old friend the whip again, or we could try something new. What do you say?" Akio smiled as he swatted at his dangling prisoner again.

"I'll be good, Lord. Whip me as you please, Lord," she seemed hypnotized by her own reflection, her eyes softening as she started to accept her fate. Akio seemed to recognize this- and it seemed to upset him. He stepped between the hanging captive and the mirror and examined her face.

"You're too easy," he grimaced as he stalked back to his tools and passed his paw over the whip, reaching instead for a clay decanter that was sitting on a metal saucer. "You don't get to decide whether you get whipped or not, mortal. Now for something different."

He tipped the porcelain bottle over, and a small stream of hot oil dropped onto the abused back of the wolf. She gave a short yell of shock, then a long moan as the sticky substance ran down one of her ass cheeks and burned her leg. The tiger let up until it had all run off of her and down into the grate below, and then lowered the bottle to her neck carefully again. The thin rivulet splashed down her shoulders and clung to her as it dripped off of her neck and chest, making the scrapes from the collar and the welts from the whip light up with pain all over again. But most of all, the new sensation in her breasts made her kick her legs and scream out, "Lord, these things hurt! Please!" Her supporting rope creaked ominously, and she stopped the kicking again.

"'These things?' You mean your breasts? I knew you were being too easy," Akio raised an eyebrow and walked around the wolf to better access her front. "I want you to repeat after me. 'My breasts hurt.'" With that, he pinched both of the erect nipples and pulled on them hard.

"Ow! They- My- oh...!" The devil was now pulling on her nipples so hard that her breasts were stretched out, and she managed to scream out, "Gods! My breasts hurt! My breasts hurt!" After saying it once, she seemed more open to saying it again, repeating it until her tormentor released her. She swung backward and forward slightly from the sudden release, still sobbing out, "My breasts... my breasts...."

"That's right. Your breasts. This is who you are now," the tiger gestured to the mirror, and the wolf screwed her eyes shut and started to sob hard again. Akio smiled and nodded at the suitably emotional reaction, and carefully unhooked her rope. He was saying, "the grate's hard, you should try to stand," as he lowered her slowly. She still stumbled under the regained weight and fell onto her backside hard with a shout. The Master rolled his eyes and undid the rope from the hook and wheel. "I warned you, you clumsy whore," he snarled at her as he pulled on her rope again, lifting her back onto her feet.

"You're going to have to accept it that you're my woman now, understand?" Akio said smoothly as he caressed the wolf's chin and looked into her eyes. "You still have so much left to lose if you do not obey me." His claw drew a thin line of blood down her chest and between her thighs, threatening her most sensitive part. "This is no idle threat. You act like- like a boy again- and I will remind you that you are a woman by putting my fingers inside you. Do you understand me?"

The wolf nodded dumbly, but Akio removed his paw and slapped her in the face again. "Do you understand me, Juliette? What will happen, Juliette?" his gaze was intense as he pulled the rope taut again.

"Who's- who- oh- oh no. You'll finger me, Lord. I'll be- I'll be a good girl," she said, even as her head shook from side to side and her face contorted into a frown. Her eyes were swollen and red from the ordeal, and she felt like if she took any more damage she would collapse. Her voice broke into a screaming sob as the devil gestured the door open with a spell and pulled her along roughly. "I'll be good or you'll...! You...! No, no! No, i'll be goo-hood! I'll be a good girl!" Akio made sure that her screams reverberated down into the lower levels for the benefit of his servants as he dragged her to his next plan.

***

The tiger-like spirit led the quivering and bloodied wolf to a separate chamber a little further up the stairs, and pushed her roughly through the door. "I'm going to untie you now. You've been very good, Juliette. You deserve a break."

The wolf nodded submissively, and Akio untied the rope that bound her slowly. "You will thank me for letting you breathe freely again, little mortal," he breathed into her ear as he worked the knots open easily.

"Thank you, Lord. It's more than I deserve, Lord," she hung her head, and as soon as her paws were free she let them dangle loosely at her sides. As he released her tail and bound chest, she gasped out, "Oh, thank you, Lord! Thank you!" and started to sob again, looking around the room as if she just noticed it.

The walls were plated with some kind of bronze metal, giving the room an otherworldly feel to it. Akio led his prisoner over to a tub made of the same kind of metal and gestured down with a magic word, filling it with body-temperature water by magic. "Get in, you're covered in filth."

She looked up at him dumbly. "What?"

"You're covered in filth. Sand, blood, sweat, mortal-blood, and- your cunt hasn't stopped leaking since I first threatened to finger you," Akio gestured again to the steaming water, his gaze never leaving her. "I'm taking you somewhere that I want to keep clean. Don't you want a nice bath, Juliette?" He stroked his chin thoughtfully as he asked. "You'll clean that filthy bottom of yours off one way or another. I could always just get you using a rough washcloth. But this will feel better on your back," he placed a hand on her shoulder tenderly, and the wolf shook her head in disbelief.

"Thank you, Lord," she said to him, and, still unsure of herself, climbed into the bath and stooped to her knees. A sharp moan burst from her as she lowered herself further to wash off her sore bottom. A shudder and another moan marked her traumatized back slipping into the hot water. She gave a nervous laugh as her breasts floated in the water, rubbing the swollen nipples and oil-burned, sore flesh.

Akio watched the whole scene with some degree of interest, his eyes wandering over the wolf's nude body hungrily. He soon moved out of her range of sight for a moment, though, and the wolf took the opportunity to submerge her face below the water and wash her head off. He was gone for long enough for her to wash off well enough. She seemed quite relaxed until she felt the rakshasa approach from behind. A sigh of relief that was building up inside of her died in her throat and turned into a whimper as he gave her a small pat on the top of the head. He started to lift her nude form by her weak biceps.

"Don't be afraid. Just let it happen if it's painful," he said softly. She sobbed a single time, but then smiled and nodded, and lifted her tail while bending over. She sighed and then took a peek behind her- and saw him, not naked and ready for her as she imagined, but holding a soft cloth and another smooth clay bottle. The demon smiled and said simply, "I want that too, Juliette. You're a very good girl. But please, put your tail down for now and let me wash your back off the rest of the way."

Her face burning with shame, she stood back up and tried to stammer out an apology, but as soon as the soft cloth touched her back she broke down into a heavy sigh. Once he was satisfied, the tiger turned her around and made sure that the sores that were left from the ropes were clean, as well. He openly fondled her breasts while he cleaned her chest and belly, and she whined from unforeseen pleasure as he flicked her nipples gently with his thumb. This only made her blush harder. He smiled as he teased in between her legs, snickering as her breathing got heavier the closer he got to touching her meaty nether regions. This ended in a light slap on the backside that made her jump, and Akio snickered out loud before he took her paw to lead her out of the tub.

"I hope all of that luxury didn't make you forget what I told you," he said as he wrapped a cruel paw around her neck and brought his face close. "You are my woman now. Now tell me what you name is."

"Ju- Julie- Juliette-" she gasped out with some difficulty, her vision starting to darken at the edges. As he released her, she took a few deep breaths and said in a whine, "I'm Juliette. I'm a good girl. I just want to be good for you, Lord."

"That's very good. Now your Master is going to take care of your wounds, but I'm no expert on this spell, so it might hurt." With a flash of light, all of the wolf's sores and scrapes vanished, and the spell was even powerful enough to heal the damage from the rest of her adventure. She didn't even flinch as the spell took effect, just swallowing hard. "Good girl," Akio nodded. He handed her a bundle of silks, and then took a few steps back and folded his arms.

'Juliette' unfolded the bundle and found a sheer silk dress, the belt adorned with hundreds of golden beads. The top looked as if it would barely keep her nipples concealed, and was also decorated with dainty beads and metallic scales. She looked up at her master imploringly, but he didn't move a muscle from where he stood. She gulped hard again, putting the top on snugly over her breasts and trying her best to make them fit it in the right place, much to her Master's amusement. She bit her lip and concentrated on putting on the dress, smiling slightly at the feel of the smooth fabric and the sound that the waistband made.

"Good girl. Now come with me and remember you manners," Akio offered her one final lingering look of lust and led her back out into the stairwell. Her knees trembled as she remembered what happened in the lower levels, and she had to concentrate on climbing the stairs with all her strength after the hot tub and the hard day.

***

Akio took his new prize by the arm and led her to another room with a magically locked door- this one decorated with a grand table, many candles lighting the plates and goblets there. A small garden with a pool of bubbling water was at waist level in one corner, and in the other corner was a hanging iron cage with a gray bird resting inside. The rakshasa rolled his eyes as he saw the bird and sighed, saying bitterly, "right, I forgot about him. Ugh...! Food first, though."

The Master sat down at the royally crafted chair at the head of the table and motioned for the woman accompanying him to do the same. She sat on a backless stool, struggling to keep her posture erect with the unsupportive top. The bird looked on interested as the rakshasa folded his claws and said a prayer.

"I pledge my soul to the immortal power of my Master," Akio grimaced as he said this, and then waved his hands over his plate and goblet. A meal of fine roasted fowl with a broiled grain and nut dressing materialized in front of him, with some steaming-hot bark tea. He delicately started to cut the bird into bite-sized portions, and there was a smell of tart berries from the steaming sauce that he poured over the soft white meat. He seemed to remember something, then grabbed a pinch of the grains and sprinkled them in front of the bird with a wink and a grin.

The wolf's stomach growled loudly as the myriad scents drifted over to her. Akio looked over at her after feeding the bird and tilted his head as he ate another bite, as if he were daring her to say something. She gulped her building spittle and latched her gaze onto the empty plate in front of her, determined not to anger him. The tiger sipped his tea calmly, and continued to eat the bites that he cut out while talking in a level voice to his captive.

"You belong to me, so I get to decide when you eat and when you are hungry. Do you understand?" After the wolf nodded violently, Akio nodded and rose from the table, carrying the fragrant plate of meat with him to stand in front of her. "I haven't made up my mind about how long to keep you away from food. You might be able to convince me to feed you tonight."

Tears started to well up in the wolf's eyes as she licked her dry lips hungrily. Akio smiled at this and skewered a peice of meat on a claw, bringing it closer to her face. "You know, I love a girl who isn't afraid to explore her own body," Akio hinted as he looked her up and down. She was unresponsive, hypnotized by the smell, until Akio brought it up to his own mouth and ate it in front of her, eliciting a whimper from his captive as he licked his own lips. "I don't think you were listening. I desire to see you to touch yourself, Juliette. I am merciful to my servants, so you should consider my request carefully."

He took the food away from her, walking back to sit down at his grand chair across from her. She started to reach down, and lifted her dress so that she had better access to her nether regions, biting her lip and moving her paws slowly. The bird in the cage started to flap its wings and coo out loudly, kicking at the grain and rocking its cage. Akio expertly tossed a spell towards the tiny animal with the phrase, "shut up and watch," and the bird calmed down, pecking sedately at the crumbs left in the cage. He shook his head and narrowed his eyebrows at the wolf again. "Sorry for my pet's behavior. You were about to masturbate for my pleasure."

She nodded, and then laughed a little nervously before reaching down again. She lifted one of her lips with a finger and used the other paw to rub herself inexpertly. She reached straight for her clit out of instinct and then withdrew her paw, as if she burned herself. The wolf panted for air and whined- then returned her fingers and began rubbing much softer. She shook in her seat as she felt new sensations build up inside of her, clearly ashamed at the situation- but also clearly curious as to how far the feelings would go. Her fingers played over her lips and her clit until she had her eyes closed and her mouth hanging open obscenely. A damp spot started to form under her, as the blood rushed down to her tight hole, and her legs blushed with heat, and her lungs started to choke out a high-pitched whimper.

"Stop. Paws on the table, you horny bitch."

The command was pure and simple. Juliette rested both her wrists on the table, gasping for air and trembling as the warmth that started to flow through her turned ice cold in disappointment. Akio put one small morsel onto her plate, and she carefully stabbed it onto the end of a fork and swallowed it daintily, looking at her Master imploringly for more. He added one more small peice of meat, and then stood and wiped his lips as if he were done, grabbing his goblet for one more sip. She gulped nervously and ate the other morsel as politely as she could manage, before Akio motioned for her to stand. She whined and did so, taking the offered goblet and greedily drinking the remainder of his tea as he watched.

"You can have the rest when we return. I think you've earned it."

Her mouth dropped open again. It was salivating hard, from the small amount of food and drink. Akio dashed his hand out and put his finger onto her tongue, thrusting it in and out crudely and smiling wolfishly. She bit down out of instinct, causing him to pull it out and fold his arms as he took as step forward and towered over her. She reviewed the scene in her head before gasping and crying out, "I'm sorry, Lord! I'm sorry!"

He raised his chin and purred out, "Tell me that I can do whatever I like with you."

"Please do whatever you want with me, Lord! I belong to you, Lord!" She started to sob a bit as she reached out and grabbed his paw, bringing it up to her muzzle and sucking his finger off noisily. He withdrew it with a look of disgust.

"I will do what I want with you. You are becoming a very loyal servant. We will continue this upstairs."

The wolf's knees threatened to give out under her as they walked together. She tramped up the stairs in silence, gulping hard whenever she snuck a look up at the rakshasa.

***

Up the stairs was yet another dungeon, but this chamber was a more relaxed, more sexual arena. The blindfolds and gags had no hint of cold iron, and no torture devices lurked behind hidden panels. The discipline that Akio practiced in the upper levels was focused on using his own strength, and he knew that some of his servants actually were petulant with him on purpose with the aim of spending time alone with him there. As for now... the room was full of complacent creatures. Some, like the pink badger-morph, were awaiting their first punishment after letting their master mentally check them for disloyalty, and were kneeling calmly. Some, like the brown and red rabbit, were 'cooling off' after being beaten in the red room, still writhing pitifully from the wounds that their master left. Some of the worse-off demons- like the big panther- were still whimpering from a plug left inside them that discouraged squirming. As the pair walked in, the demons made sure to stay as quiet as possible, trying to blend into the walls and not spark any attention from their Master.

As the door clicked magically closed, Akio started to remove his clothes piece by piece. A royal cloak, over-jacket, and blouse were hung from hooks shaped like claws. His new slave stared as his tigrish form was revealed to her- a broad chest with a splash of white fur and jet-black, clearly-defined stripes reaching from his back down to his arms. He stopped undressing once his top half was bare, keeping a short pair of leather pants on. It was still clear that he was sporting a large erection. Akio smiled and removed the jangling skirt from her with a quick thrust downwards that made her gasp, moving the sheer garment to its own hanging spot.

He took his captive by the hand and led her to a squat wooden bench. After laying her down on her knees, he grabbed onto her hair and positioned her face-down on the surface, her breasts crushed under the weight of her body. Before she could even think to struggle, he had her tied up in ropes again, this time her arms tied down to the legs of the solid bench. As she stayed as still as she could and tried not to cry, he further wound the ropes around the back of the bench and her legs, forcing her open with a cushioned metal bar that pressed into her thighs. The spreader was more than enough to make her wet, and even after, the wolf caught sight of Akio's erection leaking fluid right through his pants before he disappeared behind her again.

She started to mumble, "please tell me what I can do to please you, Lord. I'll do anything you ask, Lord. Please don't just- oh...." She felt his tongue start to lick up and down her hindquarters, and groaned as he teased all around her dripping hole with little bites. He gave small sounds of approval as he pulled on her tail and licked all around her most sensitive area, then stood and straddled her back.

She trembled at the feeling of his huge, strong paws wrapping themselves around her neck, and squeezing on her shoulders tenderly. He massaged her gently as his hidden erection prodded at her tailhole, making her squirm in her bindings and whimper, clenching her teeth. After a few minutes, Akio reached around to slip a finger in her mouth and seemed disappointed to find her jaw screwed shut.

"Oh, you can't relax? Fine then. I still get to have my way with you." He stood up suddenly and reached out for his jacket, grabbing a leather strap with a strange metal ring in the middle. He walked back tortuously slowly, and held the device up to her face, all at the level of his crotch. She could barely strain her neck up to see his face. "Open your mouth. Open it." He didn't seem interested in slapping her now, much to her apparent relief as she obeyed his wishes.

She opened her mouth and stuck out her tongue cutely, and Akio pressed the metal ring between her teeth, forcing her mouth open. She gave out a short wail, but her Master merely patted her on the head and said, "hush, now, be a good girl," before tying the ring gag tight onto the back of her head. She continued to moan in a low howl as his mouth worked its way back to her tail and gave her asshole a rough lick.

Her eyes were locked open as wide as her mouth as she felt his tongue dig into her pussy with a passion. She struggled for a few seconds as he licked her dripping tunnel with his strangely-textured tongue, her legs blushing again as her pussy started to leak even more than before. He greedily lapped up all of her juices, and her struggle against the metal ring eventually turned to a fit of drooling gurgles. He smacked her ass as he called up to her, "what, you don't like the idea of my cock in your mouth? Get over it. You're mine, and I get to decide whether you have to wear a gag or not."

She sniffled and nodded, and seemed to calm down as he licked her again. He gave her tender licks all around her clit, and then lightly brushed his tongue up against it as he pulled the hood up. She gasped and choked as he bathed her most feminine part with little licks and started to rub at the entrance to her tunnel with a finger. She let loose a dribbling spurt of girlcum onto his beard as he sucked her tiny clit and grabbed onto her ass cheek. She writhed in her bindings and shook violently at the force of her orgasm, making the bench creak and the metal joints of her spreader bar rattle.

Akio snickered at the slave as she started to moan something unintelligible through her gag. He then turned deadly serious as she continued to moan out loud. "What? Are you really struggling? Do you remember what I told you?" He stood up and walked back around to face her, and when she brought her eyes up to meet his, he grabbed her hair and forced her muzzle into his crotch. "I'm going to give you the punishment for acting against my wishes now, Juliette."

Her eyes softened and her head dropped down to look at the floor as he slipped a finger inside of her and started pumping it in and out obscenely. He roared with laughter as another orgasm shook her body after only a few seconds of stimulation. His finger dove into her even harder as she drooled and moaned into the floor, another wave of bliss coming over her as he sunk his finger all the way inside of her. She howled in pleasure as she was violated for the first time, all of her pent-up feelings draining away as she was rocked by by one more fit of orgasm and Akio removed the strap from her head. She coughed, and the ring clanged onto the ground. Some of the demons jumped from the unfamiliar sound of cold iron in the chamber.

"Thank you, Lord...." she mumbled as her jaw snapped and cracked from strain.

"'Thank you' for what?" He removed his finger and walked out of her sight again as she talked. The wolf drooped her head again.

"Thank you... thank you for taking the gag out.... Thank you for making me feel so good, and... and for not hurting me anymore...." she seemed to be having trouble forming words.

Akio's voice came from behind her with a simple, "go on." His finger was back inside of her, driving in and out slowly. "Tell me more. Tell me how you're thankful to be a concubine that has someone to protect you."

She gasped, but a look down at the gag was enough to make her comply. "I'm so happy, Lord." He encouraged her with quickened thrusts into her slick, tight pussy as she went on. She broke down as she tried to keep her words together and satisfy her new master. "Oh! I'm happy- ee! I- I'm so- I- I love it- thank you for- for protecting me!"

Akio whispered, "I'll always be watching over you," into her ear, and she cried out as her body writhed in yet another wave of squirting pleasure. He withdrew his paw and looked at it, a shocked expression on his face. "Wait, you were actually coming? Who told you that you deserved to cum, you little bitch?" He smacked her ass gently with his paw, and she yiped cutely at the slap. He seemed to get an idea, and then purred out with excitement, "yes! I will spank you. Little girls deserve spanks." He laughed quietly as he said, "I think that fifteen should get someone your age in line."

"No! I'll be a good girl! I'm a very good girl!" She protested as he started to massage her buttocks gently. The tiger alternated between hard squeezes and soft rubbing until her buttocks were at maximum sensitivity. She moaned out, "Oh, please, Lord. Please don't hurt me again. I'm your wo- OH!" she cried out as the first smack landed on her bare buttocks. She sniffled as the sensation tingled away, and then another smack landed, causing her to cry out again. "EE! I'm sorry Lord. I would love to- OO! I would love to suck you off! Mmmmmm-MM! I'm a good girl!" Again and again, the rakshasa spanked her, waited a few seconds, and then spanked her again. She writhed and tried not to plead too much.

Far after she had lost count, the devil stood up and rubbed her backside gently for a moment. "We'll let it rest for a few minutes. Now, I don't want you coming again until I give you permission. Do you understand me? Tell me back what I said to you, little Julie."

"I... I'm not allowed to cum again until you tell me it's okay," she gasped out, her ass a burning red. "I won't cum again until you tell me to. I- I promise."

He blew a condescending puff of air past his lips at the last line, repeating back in a mocking voice, "I promise. I'll believe it when I see it. If you do, you get spanked again. Unless you want us to go back downstairs and-"

"No!" she gasped in a small, high-pitched shriek.

"-Well, that was quite a reaction. You're very glad that I decided to switch to spanking, aren't you? Aren't you glad that I favor you for your plump ass? It's saved you some hard whipping time."

"I... yes, Lord... thank you so much, Lord... I'm so lucky that you want to spank my ass, Lord...." she couldn't help but croak this last line out in a pitiful whisper. "I'm your woman, Lord."

"Yes, you are. Not just my woman. You're my mortal servant. My slave." He slipped two fingers inside of her, making her gasp out in pain and pleasure. He shivered at the sounds that she made. "That's wonderful. You're an open book, my little toy."

His fingers pushed against her insides until she was gasping out, "I want to cum, Lord! Please let me cum, Lord!" Akio only smiled and withdrew his fingers again.

"That wasn't very convincing. We both know what I want you to say, I think." His smile only got wider as he returned to his clothes and retrieved a metal rod. "You're going to beg me for it."

"What? Lord? What are you- ohh...." The metal rod tingled with latent magical energy, buzzing in the sorcerer's furred hands with a low hum like a plucked bowstring. "Ohh- that's- oh, my Lord...." Her voice reached a squeal as the vibrating length of the rod plunged into her, causing her entire torso to light up with sensation.

He left the rod inside of her for a moment and walked back around to face her, lifting her head and thrusting it into the crotch of his pants again. She submissively started to lick at his length through his pants, and Akio threw his head up and roared a short moan into the ceiling as she bit lightly. "Oh, my Lord... I'll make you cum, Lord... please let me cum... I'm so cloooose! NO! No-ho-hooo!" She sobbed as Akio removed the rod again. He shook his head as if he were disappointed with her when he stepped back, throwing the toy to the side.

"That was very good, little Julie. Do you really want to make me cum?"

"Oh, yes, Lord! You made me cum twice- I mean, at least twice, I don't really remember..." she trailed off as she was distracted by Akio unhooking her wrists from the front of the bench. She flexed her paws and smiled as she continued, "I was so close to coming... my Lord... you made me feel so good." Her muscles trembled from having to carry their own weight again.

She moved on to flexing her elbows and shoulders, but Akio grabbed her right paw and placed it onto his belt with a whisper of, "stop flailing." She squeaked in surprise, but then reached out with her other paw and pulled down until his pants were around his ankles, revealing his impressive prick to her. She started to breathe heavily and drool as she touched it tenderly with her fingers, then gasped as a bead of precum dripped down onto her palm. She looked up at her Master's face and he caressed her cheek gently while smirking. He purred as his paw brushed her chin. "You can't tell what I want? What kind of courtesan are you?"

She set her jaw at this as if it offended her. "I'm gonna fucking do it," she said quietly, as if to convince herself, and then whimpered a bit as she opened her mouth wide. Akio didn't wait for her to change her mind, thrusting his head in and out of her while growling his approval. Her paws reached out and started to jerk him off with vigor. She moaned as she began to taste more and more of his fluids leaking out onto her tongue. He gave her head a consoling pat as he took it away again and she whimpered.

"That feels so good. I'm sure you've always been wonderful at that at just never knew. But... that's not what I was asking you for. That would be rather selfish of me, wouldn't it? You were so close to losing yourself to bliss, before." He walked behind her and unstrapped her from the bench all of the way, even going so far as to remove the spreader. His finger dug into her again, and she moaned and wriggled, her muscles sore from the ropes.

He didn't let up fingering her until she was almost at orgasm again. She lost control this time, completely letting herself be overtaken by her Master's sick desire. The light seemed to leave her eyes as she flipped herself over on the bench and used her paws to spread out her abused cheeks. "PLEASE, Lord. PLEASE FUCK ME. I want your cock. I NEED YOUR COCK!" She was alternating between hoarse screams and timid whimpers, her head rocking from side to side as nothing but the cold air met with her wet genitals.

Akio was suddenly on top of her, his weight pressing her down onto the hard wood as his slick cock pressed against her slim form, thrusting slightly against his will as it sought its prize. Juliette bit onto her master's neck and screamed as he slipped the head of his cock inside of her. Her eyes went wide as he started to ravish her in earnest, his breath coming in ragged, uncontrolled gasps. She rolled her eyes back and fell heavily back onto the bench, her body twitching as the sensation of his cock made her lose control of her mind.

He took his thick member out of her before the woman could reach her climax. She quickly started to gasp out, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Her eyes filled with tears as the cold air started to blow past her lonely cunt. "I didn't cum, I promise! Please fuck me! Please let me cum! You're my master, I'm your slave! Please, you're my..." she rocked back and forth in frustration as he watched her and laughed silently at her desperation. "You're my king! My god! Please Lord! Please let me cum! Please fuck me! I want it more than anything!"

"More than that meal that's waiting for you? Maybe your punishment is over now." Akio scratched his nose and started to wipe himself off mockingly, but the wolf believed it and started to wail out her displeasure.

"No! Punish meeee! Fuck me, Lord! I told you!"

"If I could do anything for you. Anything. I could even let you free." He approached her clothes and looked back at her seriously. "Or wouldn't you-"

She didn't even think to let him finish. Him picking up her skirt and shaking it out was the last straw. She pulled her top down, exposing her nipples as he threw the skirt over his shoulder and walked slowly back to her.

"YES! More than anything! I told you! I want to be a good girl! FUCK ME!" Juliette writhed and then sat up, her face burning with embarrassment as she desperately reached out and grabbed his member in both hands. "I need it inside me again. It felt so good. Please, Lord."

"You will be my concubine forever." He raised his eyebrows, and the girl nodded her head violently again.

Akio nodded back thoughtfully as he towered over her and held her around the shoulders- laying her down as if she were going to be ravished on the bench again- but then he grabbed the back of her legs and lifted her to carry her easily. He motioned the door open with a quick jerk of his head, and then practically bounded up the stairs to a final chamber.

***

Juliette found herself on a soft bed of fine sheets, her top removed as Akio laid her down. He smiled softly as he groped her large breasts, mashing them together and gently squeezing them in turns. His face descended towards hers, and she kissed him deeply, whimpering as the devil softly probed her mouth with his lips. Before she knew what was happening, her mouth was open and his tongue was playing on hers, invading her and making her moan.

Akio moved further down, licking her nipples softly and squeezing the sensitive tissue around them until she trembled and started to whisper, "please let... please, uhm, please let me c, c, cuhhh..." until Akio pressed a finger up to her muzzle.

"You don't need to ask while we're here, Juliette. My beautiful servants like you- you were created for pleasure. Just keep being my good girl." He went back to nibbling on her breasts, and she was soon blushing all over her body and moaning to the ceiling. "That's a good girl. You cum for me," he whispered up to her in between taking soft bites on her nipples. She obeyed him happily as he sucked on one of them softly and tweaked the other hard.

Akio moved back up to kissing her deeply and rubbing himself on her. She started jerking him off again, reaching down with a paw even as she concentrated on the wet sensation in her mouth. His member began to thrust into her hand, and she giggled a hum while his tongue was still in her. He felt her slick pussy with his paw as she jerked him off, fingering her and feeling how loose she was from his previous attention. As their mouths separated, Akio gave another low growl of pleasure and wrenched his cock out of her paw by lifting himself off of the bed.

He turned in a circle, his tail waving over her face as he positioned his balls near her forehead and started to lick her clit from a whole new angle. She gasped and reached up to pull her master's cock down so he could thrust it in between her lips. They spent a few minutes locked together in a sixty-nine, both hungrily trying to lube up the other for sex without really trying to make the other cum.

Akio finally turned back around and pushed himself up against the wolf. Although he had been on top of her before, he seemed different this time. "I'm going to do it, alright? Are you ready?" His cock was gently pushing up against her hole, just enough to cause pressure without breaking through into the tight passage with his sizable girth. She adjusted her hips slowly, taking in the first couple of inches of his cock by wriggling herself towards him. Akio gasped in surprise and pleasure as she accepted him without his input, but then quickly recovered and started to pop the head in and out of her.

"Deeper, Lord..." she blushed even harder as she said it, but her pussy remembered how big he was from being ravished on the hard wooden bench, and it was waiting to feel his full thickness before it squirted again. "Please use me for your pleasure. Don't hold back, my Lord."

He roared at this, his cock bulging and burying itself deeper inside of her. As he thrust into her all of the way, Juliette threw her head back and screamed in pain one more time before her pussy stretched out to fit, begging for him to drive into her as deep as he could with its wetness. Akio obliged her body's instinct, sinking into her over and over again as she cried out and stared into his mad eyes.

As the volume and intensity of her screams came to a head, Akio held her throat gently and said, "You want me to cum inside you, don't you? You want to feel how much your Lord loves you?" Juliette blushed deeply and her head rocked violently from side to side as she shook all over. Her pussy dribbled a huge load of girlcum as his thrusting and his words drove her over the edge.

Akio grinned and grabbed onto her punished ass with both hands as his cock thrust itself deep into her a few more times- then he roared passionately and screwed his eyes shut as his orgasm took control of his body. The wolf kept staring up into his grimacing face as he pumped a huge volume of foul-smelling white seed into her insides, erupting out onto his sheets as he growled and continued thrusting, lost to the sensation.

Juliette was shaking from emotion as she felt him withdraw. The tiger demon's seed felt like it was churning inside of her, alive. "You came inside me... you came inside of me, Lord. That means... that means you love me?" The light of her eyes was gone as she turned over and tried to crawl forward onto the bed. "You said that you would protect me... you'll take care of me, Lord?" She curled up into a ball, her entire body quaking as her pussy leaked out more cum.

Akio smiled and attached a fine golden collar to her neck, putting her silky dress next to her as he hooked the fine chain onto the bedpost with a simple spell. "I take care of my servants, don't you worry. Let me go bring you that food." He gave her a pat on the posterior and a kiss on the forehead before he left to retrieve the plate of food that he left behind in his dining area. He pointed out his large, dripping erection to the caged bird on his way out, out of spite.

When he returned, the wolf was happily asleep, curled up in his bed and leaking his cum. She seemed to be holding onto the golden chain with one paw for security as she slept. He left the plate of food on the bed next to her with a whispered excuse to himself that he would have to do serious cleaning after that domination anyways, spilled food or no. After examining her sleeping form with a smile for a few lingering minutes, Akio stalked off to gather up his clothes and wash himself off- before he tried to break another one of the adventurers.
