My lair was dark, the way I liked it when I studied new opponents. My technological mastery had made me unstoppable by any foe I had faced to date. However, I had yet to encounter magic. That was why I had decided to capture and study VladisJ, the foremost mystical heroine in the world. That was why I was studying a tape of her rescuing some people from a burning building, using her powers to quench the fire, and then healing a seriously wounded fireman. As the tape ran on, I spoke into a recorder.

“Her powers are pretty much what I expected, shaping the forces of nature. Like many magic users, her spells seem to rely on hand gestures and spoken words, so she should be helpless if unable to move or speak. The sole exception to this is her healing ability, which seems innate, but would probably be of little practical use in a combat situation. While she seems humbler than most heroines, her big weakness seems to be her compassion. Perhaps this ties in with her being a healer, but she seems to place concern for others above everything. I can use this to my advantage.” I paused the tape and admired the shapely form in the skin-tight black dress before zooming in to her face. Blonde hair, blue eyes, high cheekbones, full lips, incredible beauty¼ “Note resemblance to The Temptress. There is rumored to be some connection or even relationship between them; this might bare investigating.”

My plans were laid, and the investigation phase was now complete. Facing an opponent with such a variable range of powers was risky, but I knew it had to be done if my plans for world domination would ever come to pass. I would rather have it happen on my terms. Tomorrow, VladisJ would meet the Doppelganger¼much to her dismay!

The news went out as well as I had hoped. The media was quick to jump all over the story of a missing school bus full of children and an ultimatum for VladisJ. She was to appear atop the city’s tallest building unless she wanted something terrible to happen to those kids. Of course, the reality was that nobody would ever see those kids; they didn’t really exist. But I counted on VladisJ not having time to investigate the reality of a story that every news service in the nation was convinced was real. I waited atop the building, wondering how she would appear.

My answer came in the form of a shimmering silver mist that appeared, grew dense, and began to glow from within. The mist dissolved, and VladisJ was standing there, her red cloak sweeping over her shoulders and outlining the soft black curves of her body. While I studied her, she studied me. She seemed not to know what to make of my power armor, which has been described as “high-tech Darth Vader without the helmet.” The weapons in the armor should allow me to hold my own against her, just as they had with many other heroines in the past. I activated my invisible force shield and started to record the encounter through the sensors hidden in my goggles. Later I could study her via x-ray, thermal scan, kirilian photography, and several other methods. By then, however, I planned to have her physical body to study¼and, I thought as I surveyed her luscious curves again, perhaps to enjoy, as well!

“Greetings, my dear,” I said with an evil grin. “I am The Doppelganger. Thank you for accepting my invitation!”

The wind whipped around me, as I stood on top of the city's tallest building, facing a new villain, for me, the Doppelganger. I felt inexperienced and unworthy to face this villain, having usually dealt with much smaller crimes and troublemakers. I felt my legs trembling underneath me and hoped I looked more in control than I actually was.
I reflected back on my limited education and the fact that my existence was new to me, due to an injury as a teen that left me practically without memory. That was the turning point of my life. The death of my parents, who I could no longer remember, and the spontaneous arrival of powers I could not control, resulted in the need to flee normal, contemporary society and seek more mystical resources to educate me. A sorcerer named Vladi Wizard had taken me under his wings and helped educate me in a number of mystical things. However, it became apparent to me that he was turning to the dark-side and once again I was on my own, to stumble through life learning things on my own.
Now, I found myself atop this building, compelled to do whatever was necessary to save the children on the missing school bus. I thought it odd that no one had confirmed this crime, that the names and photos of the missing children had not yet popped up on the news, but I also realized that until all relatives had been notified, this information could not be released. Since it was me that he had requested, I was here, desperately wishing he had asked for Supergirl or Wonder Women, heroines with super powers and a lot more experience than I had! Yet, I could not turn my back on those who were in need.
I looked at this man before me. He was formidable looking and very large, standing quite a bit taller than me. I thought I detected a force field around him and activated mine immediately. I wondered what type of power he had.. and if I would be quick enough to battle it!
His evil grin chilled me as his words drifted to my ears.
"Greetings, my dear," he said with an evil grin. "I am The Doppelganger. Thank you for accepting my invitation!"
I slowly began to walk to my right, my eyes never leaving him as I assessed him.
"Greetings. However, it was not an invitation, but more like a command, wasn't it?" I shivered as the wind blew around me, whipping my cloak about me.
"What is it you want of me? What is it that we must do to achieve the safe return of the missing children?"
I stopped at that point and turned to face him, my hands on my hips as my cloak whipped around me. I felt secure at this point, with my force field intact.

I studied her as she moved around me¼not that this was a difficult task. None of the pictures or videos I had seen had prepared me for her beauty in real life. Her face was lovely, and the silky black dress clung to her seductive curves like a second skin. As she moved, the light played wonderfully across the fabric.

While I was admiring this, she mumbled some mystical phrase and my monitors detected a force field spring to life around her. I smiled at how neatly she had achieved it; isn’t magic supposed to be 90% misdirection? No man could ignore that body, giving her time to act. One point to you, my dear, I thought. Despite the fact that she was somewhat inexperienced and seemed nervous, I knew she would be a worthy adversary. I also knew that my tactics would have to change, and become much subtler. But I had planned for any contingency, as always.

"What is it you want of me? What is it that we must do to achieve the safe return of the missing children?"

I grinned at her question. I never tell a lie when the truth will suffice, so I told the truth now. “I have no desire to harm children, my sweet. Nor do I wish to harm you. All I want is information. To begin with, why don’t you lower your force field and come with me?”

She looked suspicious, but the truth in my words would be obvious to someone with magical senses. She probably suspected that it wasn’t the WHOLE truth, but her suspicions wouldn’t be enough for her to risk the lives of a busload of children.

“Very well,” she finally responded. “I’ll lower mine if you lower yours.”

Once again, I was impressed. I touched the stud on my gauntlet, disabling the field. “Done,” I said. “And yours?”

VladisJ sighed. I think she was hoping I would refuse, so she could keep her force field up. However, she nodded and waved her hands; the field disappeared. “What now?” she asked.

I lead her into the building, to a supposedly empty office I had commandeered. The lights were dim, and scented candles lit the room. A table in the center had food and wine on it, with a chair on either side. I motioned for her to sit. “As I said, I just want information. Things will be so much easier if you just enjoy some food with me and tell me what I want to know.”

She sat opposite me, but looked at the food suspiciously. I sipped the wine and ate a few grapes and some cheese. “See?” I asked. “It’s NOT poisoned. Now, enjoy my hospitality while you tell me how your magic powers work, and what you know about a man who goes by the name ‘The Wizard.’”

She seemed surprised by the questions. I leaned forward to watch her eat and to better catch her answers.

I looked at him in utter disbelief, letting his words ring in my ears. He seemed so in control and not at all interested in negotiating a ransom for the children. I began to wonder if he really had the children at all, or if this was some ploy to trap me and learn whatever he could about the Wizard and/or me.

I gently pushed the food away from me and stood up, walking a short distance away from him, ready to raise my force field in a second’s notice.

“I’m sorry, but I’m not here for a social engagement, although the atmosphere is quite pleasant, if not surreal in these surroundings. I also will not reveal anything about my powers or the Wizard’s powers. Although I knew the Wizard a number of years back, I have no idea what powers he truly possesses or what his abilities are.” I laughed softly. “I barely know my own powers or abilities.”

I turned to face him directly, unable to read his thoughts or his reaction to my words.

“I’m simply here at your demand and to rescue the children. Yet, I believe there is truly no crime committed here and no endangerment to any children. This was all a ruse, wasn’t it?”

I stood before him, calling his bluff, and wondering what he was truly up to and how he would react, fairly sure that this was an unexpected response from me.

"This was all a ruse, wasn't it?"

I was alternately saddened and intrigued by this statement. Intrigued because I had obviously underestimated this beauty; her relative inexperience didn’t make her quite as naive as I had hoped. Saddened because if she had eaten the food, which was treated with a drug to which I was immune, it would have been so much easier. Still, I did have one point in my favor. No matter what her abilities, and she had already admitted to me that she was unsure of them herself, I was much stronger than her physically. I decided that it was time to take advantage of this.

I got up slowly, letting my head hang in a defeated manner. I sighed deeply as I slowly walked towards her. "You’re right, VladisJ. This was a ruse. I’m sorry, but I had good reason for what I did. Would you like to see?"

She smiled smugly and nodded. I lead her to one of the walls and swept the curtain aside, revealing a door. "In here," I said, as I held the curtain back for her.

"No," she said. "After you. I insist." I walked through and waited for the superheroine to follow. VladisJ gathered her cloak around her dramatically as she stepped through the door. She obviously thought that she had won.

When she reached the other side, however, she stepped on the hidden plate. An electrical shock shot up her legs and into her body. It lasted only a moment, but that was all I needed. Like a taser gun, the electricity overrode the current of her nervous system, freezing up her muscles. Unable to move or speak, she was unable to call on her magic for those few seconds. That was when I pounced.

I spun quickly, grabbing VladisJ, covering her mouth with my hand as I forced her to the floor. My hand was quickly replaced by a large red ballgag, forced past her lips and teeth, buckled behind her head. Next I pulled her hands behind her back, tying them tightly. I was pleased with the way this forced her breasts up and out.

By now the shock had worn off, and I knew that I had to tie her MUCH tighter, but for now she was helpless. I stood over my captive and smiled at her beauty. This was my favorite part, the moment of capture, when the possibilities of what I could¼and would¼do to my lovely prisoner were endless. "You should have just answered my questions, my dear. I always get the information I want, one way or another. Since you wouldn’t give it to me the easy way, we’ll have to do it the HARD way!"

I looked down at her and watched for some reaction to my implied threat.

5

I lay there a bit groggy, still a little out of it from the electrical shock. My senses came back to me quickly though, and I looked up at him, standing above me, gloating. Obviously he felt that by tying and gagging me, that I was helpless to use my magic which, of course, was a false assumption on his part.

The ropes loosened around me and slipped away as I sat up, the ball gag disappearing from my mouth.

“I’m not that easily taken.” I said as I moved to stand up. My powers were more thought driven than anything, not requiring the movement of hands or voice commands to use my “magic”. “Why don’t you tell me what this is all about, or I shall take my leave of this place, and you.”

I softly brushed off my clothes, noticing that he was slightly dumbfounded at this unexpected turn of events. He had not learned of my weaknesses yet, and therefore I felt I was still safe. I felt the angry rumblings within me of my spirit life form. I knew that if any danger became apparent again, that the spirit would leap from me in my defense.

I turned my back to him, an act of confidence that I didn’t really feel, and began to investigate the room.

6


At first, I was taken aback by her escape. All the evidence indicated that she used voice and movement for her magic. Of course, I realized, just because she often CHOSE to, didn't mean that she NEEDED to. I laughed at her audacity. I had planned for this eventuality; I plan for EVERY eventuality.

As she turned her back to me, I laughed. As I did, I flipped a switch on my belt. The curtains on the wall concealed the vents that slowly allowed knock out gas to enter the room. I knew she was human, so this should take her out. It also pumped soft "white noise" into the room, which would subtly cloud her mind. The key to all magic, of course, was concentration. These two things together should take her out long enough for me to put her in a situation where her concentration would be SHOT! But I had one more trick up my sleeve.

"Listen carefully, my dear," I said. "I'm sure that your powers allow you to detect the truth in what I'm about to say. The school bus WAS a ruse. But this isn't. I have hidden several rather powerful bombs throughout the city. Now, either you tell me how I can take you captive, or I allow them to detonate. I promise that you will be unharmed. I hate to resort to this, but you've left me no choice..."

7

I gasped as the gas began to engulf me. I struggled to hold my breath, but I had already inhaled enough of the gas that I could not concentrate very well and the effects of the gas were already beginning to take a grasp upon me. I spun around to face him, finding that I could not focus on him very well. I staggered backwards until I felt a wall behind me, and I tried to use it to brace me up.

“Nooooo¼. This..is.. unfair!” I gasped out, trying to communicate to him without breathing any more gas into my lungs. I tried to make out his face, and it looked like he was laughing, but I could not hear him! What is going on! Yet, I COULD hear his words, or his thoughts! The school bus was a ruse, bombs planted throughout the city, they will detonate.. take me captive.. detonate¼ take me .. captive¼ detonate!

I turned towards where I perceived the door to be, but I couldn’t see it any more. A cloud of gas surrounded me and I felt myself gasping for air and inhaling more of the gas! This couldn’t be happening to me! My concentration lost, I could not transport myself out of there. Without concentration, my powers were useless to me, or at best, extremely dangerous to try to use. I felt my knees giving out and my hands were sliding down the wall as I crumpled to the floor.

“Nooooo¼. Can’t think! Ooooooohhhhhh..” I felt myself utter these words softly as my head was spinning and the room was twirling. Everything was going black! Nothing made sense to me. His words echoing in my thoughts, bouncing around. How I can take you captive? Captive. “Sugar¼ alcohol¼ nooo¼” I moaned softly as I felt my body slumping further over, the cold concrete floor meeting my face.

“Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm” I sighed softly, as I curled up on the cold floor, falling into a drugged sleep.

Once I was sure she was out, I walked around her, studying her carefully. I enjoyed the way her breasts rose and fell with each breath. She was beautiful as she slept, and I leaned down and brushed the hair away from her face. As I studied her, I considered her last words.

"Sugar? Alcohol? What could that mean?" I wondered if she could possibly have been answering my question about keeping her captive. I knew sugar and alcohol both affected the body and mind, but could it actually be that simple? Then I remembered her reaction to my offer of food. She was quick to turn down the wine and fruits. I grinned as I strode over to pick up the wine. I carried it back to where VladisJ lay on the floor, gripped the cork in my teeth, and opened the bottle.

"Drink deeply, my sweet!" I cradled her head on my lap and tipped the bottle into her mouth, tickling her throat to make her swallow. She coughed a few times, but the gas had her too far under to wake up just yet. After she had swallowed three or four mouthfuls of wine, I took a sip myself and kissed her full red lips. Then I lifted her, cradled her in my arms and carried her into the other room.

As I placed VladisJ on the large, padded examining table, my mind raced with the possibilities. Before I got too carried away, I made sure to activate the monitors around the room, so I could get the energy information I needed. Then I set about making sure that she would stay my prisoner.

I took out specially prepared "ropes." They were actually fine link steel chains, wrapped in a silk "rope" casing. I knew some magic was ineffective against steel, and wanted to stack the deck as much in my favor as I could. First I tied her hands tightly behind her back. Next, I wound rope around her torso, framing her magnificent black-clad breasts in white. While I had lots I planned to do, for now I needed her helpless. I continued by crossing and binding her ankles, and then tied ropes around her shapely thighs, just below the knees.

I planned to gag her, of course, but that would come later. For now, I just slipped a sugar wafer in her mouth, below her tongue, before I propped her up against the pillows on the table. Then I sat down in the chair and waited for her to revive. Not that I was in any hurry, however, because for now I was just enjoying the view of this bound beauty slumbering peacefully, unaware of the fate that awaited her...

After what seemed to be hours, Vladis J slowly began to struggle back to consciousness. The gas and the wine had kept her asleep longer than would have been normal for most humans. In actuality, it was only 90 minutes, but when you’re anxiously waiting for someone to awaken, it seemed much longer than that!

My head was throbbing and my mouth tasted strangely to me as I struggled to wake up. I was aware that I couldn’t move and began to fear that I was paralyzed. I tried in vain to open my eyes, but didn’t seem to have the strength to keep them open for only a second. Wherever I was, it seemed dark and chilly. I felt myself shiver and I wished I were home, safely snuggled under my covers in bed. Somehow, I felt I wasn’t at home. My thoughts were so confused. Where was I? What was going on? Something didn’t feel right!

I finally managed to clear my thoughts enough to open my eyes. Everything seemed a little out of focus. I turned my head to the side and gasped as the face of the Doppelganger came into view. I tried to sit up, then realized I was tied down.

“What is going on?” I demanded, hearing my speech slightly slurred. Something was wrong with me. I tried to free myself, but my concentration was still not focused enough to free me from my bondage. I felt the spirit stirring within me and knew that she would escape me soon. I realized that the gas must have affected her as well. It would only be a matter of moments before I knew she would leap from me and I wondered if the Doppelganger would be able to defeat her as well!

10


"What is going on?" she demanded, her speech slightly slurred. She struggled a moment in her bondage, which I found quite enjoyable to watch. I slowly stood up and walked over to the table.

When I reached her side, I twisted her face around to look into mine. “What’s going on, my dear VladisJ, is that I have taken you prisoner, and now I intend to get the information I wanted from you.”

“Told you,” she said defiantly, “I can’t explain. Don’t understand it myself.”

“Ah, but you don’t HAVE to explain,” I said. “Your magic is just a form of energy. All I have to do is cause you to expend energy and monitor the output. There are many ways I can have you expend energy, but I’ve settled on the one that I thought might be the most enjoyable.”

I could see the confusion in her eyes at this statement, so I let go of her chin and slowly began to trace my fingers lightly up and down the length of her helpless body. I would circle each of her magnificent breasts, in a figure-8, then slide down the center of her torso. Her dress was so thin and tight that I could actually feel her navel underneath it. When I reached her crotch, I would press down ever so slightly before I began to slide my fingers back up her body, repeating the procedure. “Come, now, VladisJ, you must realize that you are a very attractive woman. And, in addition to your physical beauty, there is the matter of your power and current helplessness: both things that I find to be phenomenal turn-ons!”

I laughed when I saw the dawning of understanding and fear in her beautiful, wide blue eyes. Then I leaned down and kissed her hard on the mouth, my tongue probing deeply, tasting the sweetness of the candy and sugar that I had forced her to ingest, and which had robbed her of her powers, reducing her to just another quivering captive of The Doppelganger!

My sensors indicated that her blood-sugar level and overall body chemistry was still out of the normal range, so there was little chance that she could summon her powers any time soon. On the other hand, her energy readings were strange, even stranger than normal, given her abilities. It almost seemed as if a second reading was forming within hers, and slowly growing, gathering strength. I figured it was best to be prepared.

After kissing her, I strolled casually to the other side of the room, and flicked my force field generator to the “ready” position; I could now activate it just by snapping my fingers. I opened the drawer in a table across from her and pulled out a large, red ball-gag. I held it up for her to see.

“Now, my sweet, shall we try this again?”

11

I had felt his hands on my body and it was all I could do to restrain myself to keep from screaming for him not to touch me. I could feel the energy force building within me, as I lay there weakly, confused from the gas or something. I had a bad taste in my mouth and it reminded me of sugar. It wouldn’t take long for my body to burn off the sugar and I would be able to think clearly again.

I watched him cross the room and retrieve something. He turned around to show me a red ball-gag.

“Now, my sweet, shall we try this again?”

“Nooooo!” I screamed. I struggled in vain against my bonds, feeling them tight against me and knowing that I was already bruising. The thought of having anything like that in my mouth almost gave me the dry heaves. As I lay there struggling, I could feel the energy growing within me and I relaxed as I felt it escape me.

A burst of light and a clap of lightening resounded in the room, as a dark form seemed to leap from Vladis J. The form materialized into a very large black panther. She leaped at the Doppelganger, her teeth bared, snarling angrily.

12

I’m tempted to say the panther came out of nowhere, but that’s not quite true. At the exact moment that the bizarre double energy signature spiked, a flash of dark energy burst from VladisJ’s rather impressive chest and streaked towards me. As it came, it shaped and coalesced into a large, jet-black panther. I assumed that this must have been some kind of spirit guide or power animal that my pretty prisoner had unleashed to protect or rescue her. It came so fast, I’m not even sure its feet touched the ground.

The damned cat was on me in an instant, it’s weight driving me to the ground. I was so surprised that I didn’t even have time to activate my force field. Not that I needed it. The force field is useful for repelling energy attacks, but the armor itself can stand up to just about any physical assault thrown at it. I felt the panther’s claws at my back, and knew that the cape would probably need to be replaced, but the rest of my uniform would be fine. I bemoaned the loss of the fiber optics woven into the cape’s material, but it was nothing I couldn’t recreate¼and probably improve.

In the meantime, however, I had other things to worry about¼like 700 pounds of angry black panther. I snapped my fingers, activating the force field; while the armor protected my body, I had no intention of letting this beast literally bite my head off. The gauntlet on my left arm, as always, held an air gun with several kinds of darts in it. While I struggled to concentrate while wrestling with my feline attacker, I touched the stud that shifted the tranquilizer darts into firing position. I fought my arm up under the creature and then fired four shots, directly into her belly.

The panther roared with pain and increased the savagery of its attack. My darts were for knocking out bothersome super-types; even four of them would take a few moments to affect something so large. My armor increased my strength slightly, so I was able to fend off the assault in the meantime. Just as I was considering electrifying my armor and frying the monster, I saw her eyes roll back in her head. Then she slumped to the ground, her tongue lolling and her breathing slow and heavy.

“PANTHERA!” VladisJ screamed as she struggled against her bonds.

I glared at her as I walked over to an equipment table and picked up a restraining collar, set it on high, and locked it around the panther’s neck. “You’re pet will be fine,” I said, “FOR NOW!” The collar would send out subtle electrical impulses into the panther’s neck, scrambling the impulses from the brain. This would keep it unconscious. Actually, I had never tried the collar on anything other than humans, and there was a slight chance that, on the high setting, it would actually kill the beast. I doubted it, but at the moment I didn’t particularly care for the creature’s future well being.

I turned my full attention back to VladisJ. Even with her powers scrambled, I’m sure that she could sense my fury as I advanced towards her. I raised my right arm and, from that gauntlet, pulled a thin, razor-sharp knife. “That’s it, my sweet,” I said. “No more tricks!”


13

I watched Panthera panting on the floor, unconscious, and felt myself getting dizzy. I realized I was breathing so hard that I was hyperventilating.

“She, can’t die! Oh my God! Oh my God!” I struggled weakly against the ropes, feeling my body being bruised by them with every movement. Then I realized he was approaching me. I watched as he raised his right arm and from his gauntlet, pulled a thin, razor-sharp knife.

“That’s it, my sweet,” he said. “No more tricks!”

“EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKK!” I screamed, realizing my death was at hand. I felt my heart pounding in my chest and could hear my own screams echoing in my ears as he stood there, knife in hand, arm raised, as if to stab me. I couldn’t think any more. Without Panthera’s strength within me, I was weaker than normal and the possibility of her death might also mean my death as well. I wasn’t sure on this bit of lore that was never completely revealed to me. I felt a wave of a nausea overcome me, felt myself become pale, heard some strange buzzing in my ears as I heard my own screams, my head spinning in confusion, fear for my life, fear for Panthera’s life, and a blackness overtaking me!

He stood there, watching her screaming and squirming, fighting the restraints, her eyes wide with fear. Then just as suddenly, the screams stopped as her skin paled. Her eyes rolled up into her head as her body went limp. The “superheroine” had fainted!

14

I paused for a moment, flabbergasted at this development. True, this was my first encounter with VladisJ, so I was unsure how the sugar and alcohol would affect her, but she seemed to have passed out more from fear than from any physical weakness! My first reaction was to suspect a trick or a trap, but the sensors all indicated that she actually was unconscious!

As I thought about it, however, I had to admit that while I had underestimated VladisJ’s powers, I might have overestimated her ability to use them. Her ignorance of how her abilities work, if at all true, indicated that she might not have completed her training in the mystic arts. On top of this, there was her age and inexperience. That was when it occurred to me that I could use these factors to my advantage. She was vulnerable, scared and confused. If I worked it right, there was a strong possibility that I could turn her to my side!

I had to act quickly. First, I freed VladisJ from her bonds long enough to strip her to the only underwear her skin-tight dress allowed: a lacy black g-string. Then I tied her hands together in the top of the table, above her head, and lashed each ankle to a different corner. Because of the shape of the body in this position, I’ve heard this called the “Eiffel Tower” tie. All I could say as I studied VladisJ was “Oui!”

Next, there was the setting. I turned on a hologram projector and changed the appearance of the room. Instead of being tied to a padded examining table in a makeshift laboratory, VladisJ now seemed to be tied to a large, four-poster bed in a secluded cabin, lit only by candles and a glowing fire in the hearth. Soft tapestries hung on the walls, and a heavy rug was on the floor, giving the place a safe, cozy feel. The panther was hidden within a virtual chest of drawers.

Now, to make sure VladisJ stayed powerless, I got the wine bottle from the other room, and squeezed some fruit juice into it. I soaked a small sponge in this mixture, and stuffed it into the heroine’s luscious mouth. I completed that gag with a silk scarf that was tied around her head twice, once between her teeth and once over her lips. She looked so beautiful that I couldn’t resist a quick kiss through the gag.

Now, all that waited was for her to awaken. I pulled off the bulky units of my armor, so that I was clad only in the black bodysuit, that served to emphasize each hard-chiseled muscle on my body. Then I sat on the edge of the bed and waited, my hand drawing lazy circles on VladisJ’s naked torso.

15

It seemed like a long time before Vladis J slowly began to arouse from her faint. Her body softly guarding, trembling, quivering as he traced lazy circles over her torso. Soft moans escaped her lips through the gag as she moved her head slightly from side to side, as if weakly shaking herself awake.

I wasn’t sure what was going on at this point in time. I felt something softly touching my skin and that sensation slowly brought me back to reality. I felt myself fighting to wake up, feeling oddly groggy and rather confused. My eyes finally opened and began to focus on the room. I had no idea where I was! Candles were glowing softly in the room, which appeared to be a cabin. There was a fire crackling in a hearth and I was tied down to a large, bed! I tried to sit up, but my bondage would not allow me to sit up. I then realized I was wearing only my thong and nothing else, and I was NOT alone!

He sat next to me, gently stroking my skin with his hand and fingers and I could not help but tremble and quiver. Why? Why did he bring me here? What was his purpose?

I could see the sly smile on his face and I was perplexed. What about the city? The bombs? I could tell that Panthera’s spirit no longer resided inside me and I wondered where she was and if she was still alive. I felt that she must still be alive, or I would be in much worse shape than I was. Still, without her strength within me, I was much weaker than normal and definitely at a disadvantage. The longer we were apart, the weaker I would become. I tried to speak and heard my muffled sounds. I was gagged! Well, that explained the odd taste in my mouth! I lay back and sighed into the rag. My mind was reeling with questions and seemed clouded. I still felt sleepy and groggy. I realized that I must be drugged or something, or maybe I had been forced to swallow something with a lot of sugar in it. In any case, I found it difficult to keep my thoughts from wandering and without the ability to concentrate, I was completely helpless to get myself out of this predicament.

I looked at him again, letting my eyes take him in. He was rather nice looking and had a very handsome physique. Under different circumstances, I’d be flattered to have the attentions of this man. But kidnapped, tied and gagged was not exactly favorable circumstances. I felt my face flush with emotions and the tears welled up in my eyes. I quickly closed my eyes to blink the tears back. How could I be SO STUPID?!! How could I let myself be trapped?!! And now, I display more weaknesses to HIM?!!

I arched my back as I tested the bonds again, fighting back my emotions with great frustration. What was he going to do to me?!! How was I ever going to get free?!!

16

I carefully watched her as she woke. First gently shaking her head, then trying to sit up against her bonds. I particularly enjoyed the muffled noises as she tried to speak through her gag, before sighing in resignation and sinking back into the bed.

Then she seemed to take stock of her situation, as she looked around the room, and then at me. I was intrigued by how long she studied my face, my body. I saw her face flush slightly, then she shook her head and looked away before testing her bonds once more and blinking back tears. I found it all very amusing...and QUITE stimulating.

"Shhhhhh," I said gently as I wiped away one of her tears and brushed her hair back from her face. "It's okay, VladisJ. There's nothing to fear."

She looked at me, with a mixture of confusion and hope in her eyes. I knew what she was thinking. Why wasn't she dead? What new torment awaited her? I was sure that I didn't have to torment her. And this method was much more pleasurable. I slid onto the bed and lay at her side, my leg resting on top of hers, and my arm draped over her slender waist. I pressed my body gently but solidly against hers. My head rested next to hers, my mouth just centimeters away from her ear.

"I don't want to hurt you, Vladis J," I whispered. My fingers danced lightly up to the underside of her breasts, which I began to tickle slightly. "You're MUCH too beautiful. All I want from you is some information. The most important stuff, I will get without your help. But you can make this much easier on both of us. Just answer a few simple questions for me."

As I inhaled the scent of her, I was entranced. I snuggled a bit closer and said, "But there's more, my dear, sweet, Vladis J. I WILL rule the world one day. Give up this foolishness of opposing me, and you can rule by my side, as my Black Queen!"

I nibbled slightly on her ear lobe and kissed her cheek above the edge of the silken gag. "Join me! I can make it so much worth your while!" As I said this, my hand slid down her body, under the edge of the g-string, the tips of the fingers lightly stroking her bush. I watched her eyes, for some sign of acceptance and waited for her to answer my question...at least as well as she could through the cotton and silk barrier over her luscious mouth!

17

I felt his gentle touch to my face to wipe away my tears and wondered how someone could act so tender when he had just kidnapped me and had me tied to a bed. I listened to his words and felt them bouncing around in my head. What was I to do?!!

I felt him lay next to me, his leg gently over mine, and knew he wanted to possess me in many ways: mentally, spiritually, and physically. I felt myself tremble at the thought. Was I turned on? Blast my body for betraying me! Yet, how could I submit to this man, when all he stood for was against what I stood for?

He keeps mentioning information, and I suppose for now I will have to tell him what little bit I know. I sighed into the gag, feeling my emotions rushing over me in waves! I wanted to cry, I wanted to sleep, I wanted to be free, I wanted Panthera, and¼ forgive me.. I wanted him to touch me more! How could I feel this way? Yet he WAS exciting me and I knew I couldn’t hide it from him. His touches were sending little spasms of desire throughout my being. My body trembling at his touch, my loins aching and damp, my nipples hard, my skin screaming for more caresses!

My heart was pounding in my chest now as his hand slid down my body and reached under the g-string, touching me gently. My eyes were locked with his until he touched me, and then I spasmed deeply inside, my eyes closing, my body softly arching as my head and neck arched back. It lasted only a second, but from the sound of his breathing, it was enough to tell him of my passion. I relaxed on the bed, my eyes opening slowly, meeting his gaze with lust-filled eyes. This was so wrong! But I wanted him to do more!

I moaned softly into the gag, hoping he would remove it soon. Then I could try to answer his questions, and more! If only my head would clear a bit more!

18

She hadn't said yes, but she hadn't said no, either. That was actually more than I had hoped for. While I could see that she was fighting it, I could also see that she wanted me.

In many ways, I was as confused as she was. I was playing a dangerous game here, and I knew it. Her power, while currently contained, was enormous. There were so many unknown variables here, anything could happen. But that was part of the turn-on. The thrill of the hunt, the danger of the situation, the juxtaposition of this mind-numbingly powerful woman being totally helpless and at my mercy, the possibility of such great power being in my control. I felt myself becoming erect, but I fought to ignore it as I focused on the issue at hand.

I could tell that her blood sugar was still FAR too high, which was in my favor. She seemed almost ready to talk. I decided to take the chance.

I swung over her body, straddling her, my buttocks against her belly, my weight supported by my legs so that she just barely feels the pressure. I softly reached up and grasped the edge of the gag, pulling it from her mouth. Before she could speak, I leaned down to kiss her hard, my tongue probing deep in her mouth. Then I sat back again, and slid my hands up and down her sides, caressing the gentle curves of her body.

"VladisJ," I said, gently, "I could have gone after ANY mystic heroine: Night Raven, Mystic Maid, Merlina. I chose you because you are the most beautiful of them all. You are the one I want by my side. All I need is a show of good faith. Now, tell me, how do you tap into the magic forces? What role do spells and phrases have in your magic?"

I waited to see what, if anything, she had to tell me.

19

The gag was finally removed and his deep kiss had left me slightly breathless. I could feel him straddling me and I was squirming slightly under him. I swallowed hard and licked my dry lips, looking into his handsome face and meeting his penetrating gaze.

“I honestly don’t know how I tap into the magic forces. It’s ¼ it’s a fluke. I was not born with these powers. They came to me after a¼.a¼” my voice trailed off for a few seconds as I felt myself begin to choke up in remembering what little bit I could remember of my past. “They came to me after a .. very traumatic accident. I .. was in a coma for a week, with head injuries. My parents¼ my parents were.. killed¼ and ¼ I .. don’t remember much of anything prior to the accident. My past was wiped from me. I ¼ didn’t even get to go to their funeral because I was .. unconscious in the hospital.” My voice was trembling now as I let my gaze focus on a candle on the wall, avoiding his gaze. “I don’t remember them, not even what they looked like. But the powers were with me when I came out of the coma.”

He seemed content to sit on me and not say anything. I felt his gaze upon me and his hands caressing me as I talked. I sighed a little as he caressed me and let my eyes close as I continued to answer his questions.

“I know a few spells and some magical phrases. I sometimes use them. Vladi Wizard was training me for awhile, but I had to leave his tutorage. Most things I do through telekinesis or through pure mental thought.” I sighed again, feeling oddly relaxed. I realized my sugar must be a lot higher than I had thought for I was feeling very sleepy again.

“But¼ I don’t know why you want to know this¼ or why you want me. I am simply me. Physical beauty is no reason to want someone. Beauty is from within. Only from within¼..” my voice trailed off as I felt his gentle caresses and my breathing became long and deep. “Oooooohhhhhhhhhhhhh,” I moaned softly, on the verge of falling asleep.

I tried to open my eyes again. The room seemed to be a soft glowing orange from the candles and then I felt him lean over me and possess my lips again, kissing me deeply as his hands continued to caress me. I squirmed weakly under him, feeling my desire growing. How could I fight this when I was aching for it?

20

I kissed her again to buy some time while I considered her answers. I was disappointed that she didn't know more. Still, there were some other things that she might be able to tell me. And I was beginning to get a germ of an idea...a wonderfully evil idea. I just had to get a bit more information.

I slid my hands up her torso and lightly tickled the undersides of her breasts, lifting them slightly and rubbing the nipples with my thumbs. "You're right, VladisJ, physical beauty is a minor thing. But you have so much more. You're also intelligent, and compassionate and powerful, all making you so much more than just what I see before me!"

I leaned down slowly and kissed her right breast dead center, slightly sucking and tweaking the nipple between my lips. "Answer two more questions for me. What does it feel like when you focus your powers and do magic?" I repeated the procedure on her left breast before asking the next question. "And, just to be sure I understand, are you telling me that ALL you have to do to alter reality is to create that in your mind, and it happens?"

I listened carefully as I sat up again and rolled her nipples lightly between my thumbs & forefingers. The answer to the first question would help me get the information I wanted. But the answer to the second... Oh, the possibilities if I got the answer I wanted to that question! It should enable me to turn VladisJ's powers against her, and make her my own!

21

His kiss left me gasping for air once again. His voice was sensually seductive to me. I must be drunk! I sighed deeply as his lips found and sucked each one of my nipples while I softly wriggled under him. His words, his compliments, were seducing me as well. I knew I was far too inexperienced with men and I was being seduced by his compliments, his caresses, his kisses! This wasn’t fair! I couldn’t concentrate hard enough to break free of him! I pulled on the ropes at my wrists, but there was no breaking them. I sighed again and relaxed, letting his lips and fingers on my breasts further seduce me.

"Answer two more questions for me. What does it feel like when you focus your powers and do magic? And, just to be sure I understand, are you telling me that ALL you have to do to alter reality is to create that in your mind, and it happens?"

I forced myself to look at him and talk to his eyes. I hoped my lust was not betrayed in my own eyes, but I feared that it was.

“It’s not easy to explain. When I focus my powers and do magic, or telekinesis, I feel surrounded by forces stronger than me. They seem to channel through me and exit me in whatever form I choose. It takes a great deal of concentration, especially if it’s something new I’m trying to do. The more I do a specific thing, the easier it becomes. It becomes natural to me. For instance, my cloak appears with a simple thought.” Without warning, my cloak appears to the side of the bed, hovering in mid air. It’s crimson color appearing deeper in the candlelight. Then it suddenly drops to the floor.

“I ¼ I don’t understand why I can’t concentrate!” I shake my head softly and sigh deeply, looking at you again.

“You are correct in your assumption that I can alter reality with a thought. It does take concentration, though. If I am too tired, I am unable to do it.”

I sighed again and continued to look at him. “If I have answered your questions, I would hope you would answer some for me. I am not sure about the spirit I call Panthera. I don’t know how she came to reside within me. I feel she is not within me at this moment, but I can’t tell if she lives or if she is dead. I don’t know what will happen to me if she dies. Without her, I don’t know if my powers will continue. I don’t know if my strength will remain. I only know that the longer we are separated, the weaker I become. I know that she must feed separate from me. Where is Panthera? Have you killed her?” I sigh softly at this point, realizing how thirsty I am. I lick my lips again and watch your expression, wondering if my responses satisfied you or not.

22


“¼Where is Panthera? Have you killed her?"

I smiled, my mind spinning with possibilities as I leaned down to taste her breasts again, this time licking slowly around the aureole with the very tip of my tongue. “No,” I say as I slipped off her body, swinging my leg over her hips but kneeling close enough on the bed that I can still kiss her lightly at the beginning of her magnificent cleavage. As I continue to speak, I punctuate every few words with a kiss further down her body: deeper between her breasts, down her torso, licking slightly in her navel, pausing just above the edge of the g-string, and enjoying the heat I feel radiating from there. “You’re feline friend” kiss “is still alive.” Kiss “At least, I think so.” Kiss “She’s nearby,” kiss “wearing a neutralizer collar” kiss “designed to keep people unconscious.” Kiss “I’m honestly not sure” kiss “how it will affect a magical panther.” Lick kiss “But she should be fine.”

As I did this, I considered what she had told me. If the energy seems to surround her and then channel through her, I might be able to cut off her (and any other magic-users) from this force once I understood it better. The energy readings I was getting would help me there. The one problem with this “Panthera” being out of her body was that it may have weakened her too much. My plan had been to use VladisJ’s powers against her, to convince her that she wanted me, and would do anything for me, and have her own powers make that a reality. Still, it might take less energy for her to affect herself than the rest of the world. And, it was possible that I could set it up like a “post-hypnotic suggestion.” If I got her to believe this notion deep enough, when her power returned to her - because I knew I couldn’t keep her in this dream-like state forever - she might subconsciously channel that power into creating my reality! It was certainly worth a try¼and it would be QUITE enjoyable!

I reached down to grab a knife from my uniform on the bed. VladisJ cringed and whimpered when she saw it, but I placed my fingers over her lips and “shushed” her comfortingly. Then I used the blade to snip the sides of her g-string and pull the tiny, lacy thong from her body. I spoke softly as I did.

“Don’t worry, VladisJ. Hurting you is the LAST thing I want to do. Actually, what I want is to have you by my side, helping me, loving me, ruling with me.” As she opened her mouth to protest, I placed my hand gently but firmly over her lips again, silencing her. As the resistance ended, I removed my palm and then started to strip off my clothes.

“I know you may not like the idea right now, but I hope to change your mind.” I slid between her legs, allowing my erection to rest lightly on her vagina. I slowly began to rock my hips back and forth, feeling the length of my shaft rub against the lips of her vulva. I also felt the moisture building between her legs, lubricating the area and making the strokes smoother.

VladisJ arched her hips towards mine while gasping. “Oh, God!” she moaned. I smiled. This was an excellent reaction, considering that I hadn’t even ENTERED her yet!

I reached down and firmly grasped her buttocks, fondling them as I lifted and pulled her closer. “This is just the beginning, my dear, sweet VladisJ. You can have this all the time, if you’ll just be mine!” I continued to tease her as I let the words sink in.

23

I heard his voice and his words, punctuated with kisses and licks, my body aching and squirming to be possessed. Panthera was alive, for now. That was one less worry to concentrate on.

Then he reached for something and there was the knife again. I gasped and winced, thinking maybe he was going to kill me or maim me, but I was wrong. With a few quick cuts, my thong was cut in two and slipped off of me. I now knew he intended to rape me, but¼ was this rape? I was not screaming and kicking and trying to escape. I was trussed up a bit, but laying there and ¼ oh God! I was enjoying it a bit and anxious for him¼ to take me! Was I crazy??!!

“Don’t worry, VladisJ. Hurting you is the LAST thing I want to do. Actually, what I want is to have you by my side, helping me, loving me, ruling with me.”

I opened my mouth to protest, but he placed his hand gently but firmly over my lips again, silencing me. He obviously didn’t want an answer right now. He had other things on his mind. I stopped my protest and watched as he removed his hand and then started to strip off his clothes. I admired his physique and felt myself become more damp with desire. I should be ashamed of myself, but right now all I could think of was uniting with his body. I wanted to feel him next to me, inside me¼ oh ¼ what terrible thoughts to have!

I was so hot and ready! All his talk and teasing had built me to quite a state of arousal! He climbed back up on the bed and slid between my legs with his hard manhood pointing towards me. I felt myself breathing harder, getting more excited!

I felt him begin to rub himself against my moistness, stroking himself with my body and stroking my dampness with his rigid manhood. His stroking stimulated my clitoris and sent my body arching with spasms of passion.

“Ooooooohhhhhhhhh God!” I moaned softly as I felt my body screaming to cum.

He reached down and firmly grasped my buttocks, fondling them as he lifted me and pulled me closer. “This is just the beginning, my dear, sweet VladisJ. You can have this all the time, if you’ll just be mine!” He continued to tease me as his words sank in. What was I to do? My heart was pounding in my chest, my body was yearning to be taken! I pulled on the ropes that bound my hands together. Did I want to be by his side to rule with him? Did I want to help him with his evil plans? Did I want to love him? Was my lust driving me to say, “Yes”? What was I thinking?! How could I do this? How?!!!!

I felt my body trembling, my loins aching, the wetness slowly seeping from me! I wanted this right now, like nothing I’d ever wanted before!

“Yesssssssssssssss!” I moaned softly as I arched again with sensual delight!

24

I couldn’t believe my ears as she softly moaned, "Yesssssssssssssss!" and arched her back, forcing her crotch against mine. I had honestly expected a bit more resistance. However, I had no misconceptions that this one word of lust-filled desire was proof that I had dominated her will. But it was a start. Now I just needed to finish the job.

I lightly inserted just the head of my penis into her, causing her to spasm slightly. With just those first few centimeters inside VladisJ, I began to slowly rotate my hips, causing my shaft to grind around like a pestle in a mortar. First I went clockwise, slowly at first, then speeding up ever so slightly, until she grew accustomed to the feel and the rhythm. Then, I shifted to a counter-clockwise movement. And, the whole time, I was talking to her, keeping up a hypnotic monologue to drive my point home.

“Imagine it, VladisJ. You and me, together forever. We can destroy anyone who has ever harmed you or wronged you. Spending the nights making love. You’ll be my queen, subject only to my whim. In fact, more than a queen, with your power, and beauty, you’ll be a virtual goddess to the rest of the world. They will obey me, but they will worship you!”

By this point, she had grown used to the counter-clockwise turning, so, without warning, I switched to a figure 8 that caused her to inhale sharply and sent a shudder through her. This time I didn’t even let her grow accustomed to the sensation. After three or four complete circuits, I stopped and then, as slowly as possible, slid all the way into her. Then, just as slowly, I withdrew until only the tip remained inside her. Then I repeated the achingly slow pumping, each full stroke taking a minute or so. As I did, I continued my verbal assault.

“All I ask is your love, your power, your help, your obedience,” I said, struggling to keep my voice calm and soothing, despite the passion I felt burning through my body. “In exchange, I will lavish upon you all you could ever want. The finest silks for your clothes and your bedding. The best food and drink ever created. The most beautiful flowers in your room. Servants and handmaidens to cater to your every whim. And this kind of treatment when the mood strikes. Think of it. Can you see it, can you imagine it, can you FEEL it with every fiber of your being?

After a dozen or so of these slow motion stokes, I paused to catch my breath and to lean over and kiss her breasts again. This time, I nipped lightly at her nipples and then flicked them with my tongue. I was almost ready for the “final assault,” and I needed to be ready. From this point, there would be no turning back. Once I had a bit of my strength back, I shifted my weight back to where I could control it better. As I did, I glanced at my beautiful captive’s face, curious if the combination of sex, bondage, flattery and alcohol was having the effect I wanted.

25

I felt him slowly enter me, moving one way and then the other, making me wild with passion! Teasing, stroking, ooohhh so deeply into me! I had a minimal amount of sexual encounters and this was by far the most erotic thing that had ever happened to me!

I listened to his words: goddess, making love, worshipping you! Is that what I wanted? Is that what I really wanted?!!

I felt my body flushing, my head clearing a bit as I burned the reserve of calories up, but still confused and feeling almost like I was going into a trance or something.

“All I ask is your love, your power, your help, your obedience. In exchange, I will lavish upon you all you could ever want. The finest silks for your clothes and your bedding. The best food and drink ever created. The most beautiful flowers in your room. Servants and handmaidens to cater to your every whim. And this kind of treatment when the mood strikes. Think of it. Can you see it, can you imagine it, can you FEEL it with every fiber of your being?”

His words were trying to seduce me. I could see it, but did I want it? I sighed and gasped and felt my mind going blank. Why couldn’t I think straight? What was wrong with me?

I felt him lean over and kiss my breasts, causing me to spasm tightly around his rigid manhood and making me ache even more!

I could no longer hear his words, I could only feel his hands on me, his lips on me, his deep thrusts into me. My body was in control now, squirming this way and that way! I tried to undo my bondage with my thoughts, but the ropes only loosened a little. I could not touch him, I could not kiss him, I could only lay there and struggle slightly as he continued to pump into my body. I could feel my body trying to tense up and come. I knew at this rate that he would come and I would not be fulfilled. I wanted to stroke my own clitoris so that I could come with him, but my hands were tied. I struggled again, squirming and arching under him. Ooooooohhhhhhhh! It felt so good! It wasn’t fair!

26

VladisJ probably thought, like most people, that my visor was just a fancy kind of mask. It actually tied in to many of my sensors, and I had kept it on not only to protect my identity, but also to monitor her blood sugar level. That’s why I could see that she was rapidly approaching normal again. On the other hand, she had told me that she needed to concentrate in order to use her magic. I planned to make concentrating a bit difficult for her.

I had learned a nifty little trick from a practitioner of Tantric sex magic several years ago. I slid my left hand between us, and wrapped two of the fingers around my penis. I adjusted the angles slightly, until the knuckles of these fingers lightly touched VladisJ’s clitoris. She spasmed slightly at the touch. I grinned to myself; she hadn’t seen anything yet!

I began to pump into and out of her once again, very slowly. There were two differences between this pumping and our last session. First of all, this time each stroke caused my fingers to glide, gently but firmly, across her clit, stimulating it. Secondly, instead of a slow steady pumping, this time each stroke became just a bit faster, a bit deeper and a bit more forceful than the last. And, of course, as my pumping sped up, so did the stroking along her clitoris.

VladisJ’s breath quickened, and she moaned in spite of herself. I doubt she had ever felt anything quite like this before; it is a secret well guarded among Tantric magicians. In fact, I had been forced to kill the person who showed it to me, but that’s another story. The best part about this technique was that, while it increased the woman’s stimulation, the fingers pinched certain nerves in such a way that sensations in the penis were dulled. This was good, if I wanted to drive her all the way to climax. The thrill of this little game and the sights and sounds of this exquisite creature who lay helpless beneath me, moaning and writhing in ecstasy, were hard enough to ignore as it was, without the tactile distractions of our sex.

As I continued to pump and stroke, my mind raced. I knew she couldn’t hold out much longer¼ but neither could I. I just hoped that when she finally gave in, I would have the energy to complete my plan.

27

I felt him move his left hand down and between us and now there was a new sensation added to his thrusting pleasure inside of me. Somehow, I could feel clitoral stimulation combined with being entered and stroked by his manhood. Each stroke became just a bit faster, a bit deeper and a bit more forceful than the last. As his pumping sped up, so did the stroking along my clitoris. I felt myself squirming and writhing as he took me. Arching my body up against him, rocking my hips with his, tensing my muscles inside me as he stroked my clit and continued to thrust into me. I felt my head swimming with the sensation, my body enjoying it so much, my nipples taut, my breasts firm with desire. Then I felt it begin! My orgasm began to rise, causing me to gasp for air as it washed over my body, convulsing so hard as my body shuddered and quaked under him. My body arched and convulsed over and over as I felt myself spasming tightly around his thrusting manhood. He began to thrust faster and harder, continuing to stroke against my clit, which only continued to send me into even more convulsions! I felt a strange buzzing in my ears and felt my head go black, with small fireworks bursting inside! I couldn’t hear or see anything anymore. All I could feel was the orgasm washing over me and my mind going blank as I fainted under him, still convulsing and spasming. For only a few seconds, I totally lost consciousness. Then I began to come out of it, realizing how weak I was and how my body was still softly convulsing and spasming. I sighed, feeling completely exhausted and blissfully content as he continued to thrust into me.

28

As VladisJ spasmed into her orgasm, I felt the walls of her vagina tighten around my penis. Even with the nerves dulled as they were, it was impossible for me to hold out any more; luckily, I didn’t have to. I removed my fingers, feeling the sensation return and overwhelm me as I practically exploded inside her. The ejaculation was so long and hard that, for a moment, it almost felt as if it wasn’t going to end. When it finally did, I collapsed forward across my beautiful blonde captive’s body, my head resting on her magnificent breasts.

In all honesty, I just wanted to stay there and enjoy the sensations while I rested. However, I knew that this was not an option. This was the most dangerous point of our little game. VladisJ’s blood chemistry was almost normal; probably close enough to normal for her to work her magic. All she needed was to be able to concentrate, and I didn’t think it would take her long to clear her head of the fog of ecstasy in which she currently swam. With muscles that still felt like Jell-O, I forced myself up to my knees, withdrew from VladisJ, and rolled from the bed to the floor.

My legs were wobbly as I walked up towards her head, stroking her soft, sweaty body as I went. I looked into her eyes and smiled disarmingly. “That was VERY nice, VladisJ. Now, I want you to do just one more thing for me.”

“What?”

“Sleep!” I replied as I reached down and pulled a chloroform-soaked cloth from the belt that lay on the floor. I clamped the cloth over her mouth and nose, and watched her beautiful blue eyes go wide with shock. She tried to struggle, but she was still bound, exhausted and dazed, so it wasn’t long before I saw the drug take effect. First her eyelids began to flutter, then her eyes rolled up in her head and closed. I waited a second or two to make sure she was really out before I removed the cloth.

I spoke directly to her subconscious as I got dressed. “I’m sure you enjoyed that, VladisJ. Remember what I said, that this can happen MUCH more often. All you have to do is join me. And you want to, don’t you? You want to be with me, to serve me, to make love to me. And all you have to do for that to happen is to want it enough that you say ‘yes’.”

Once clad in my armor, I shut down the hologram projector, and VladisJ was once again tied to a padded table in an empty office space. I pulled another ball-gag from my belt and popped it into the unconscious heroine’s mouth after I kissed her again. I paused long enough to taste her breasts one last time before I packed up my equipment and then removed the collar from her panther. The thing was still breathing, so I assumed it would be all right.

I paused long enough to study the scene one last time before I took my leave. I couldn’t wait to get back to my lair and study the readouts and the videotapes of this encounter. I hoped that I wouldn’t actually need the information they contained about VladisJ; I hoped that my subtle brainwashing would be enough that when she regained consciousness, she would be mine. But, if not, I wasn’t worried. I had defeated her once, and now I had more information. I was sure I could do it again. Either way, I looked forward to our next encounter!

29

My body still softly spasming around him, I felt him thrust a few more times and then felt him explode his hot, sticky, wetness inside me! I gasped and convulsed a few more times as he continued to shoot his seed within me. I lay there, trying to catch my breath as he collapsed upon me, catching his own breath. I could feel his hot breath against my breasts and trembled a bit under him. After only a minute, I felt him move away and withdraw from me, then he rolled from the bed to the floor.

I watched him walk up towards my head, stroking my sweaty body softly. He looked into my eyes and smiled disarmingly. “That was VERY nice, VladisJ. Now, I want you to do just one more thing for me.”

“What’s that?” I queried.

“Sleep!” I felt a soft cloth clamped over my mouth and nose, and gasped with surprise, inhaling deeply and feeling the effects of the chemicals on the cloth begin to overpower me. Everything went dark!

I awoke to the gentle lapping of Panthera’s tongue against my hands as I lay, still bound to a table. As my head cleared, I focused on my bound hands and, slowly, I was able to free myself. I sat up, feeling a bit dizzy, and weakly unbound my ankles. I smiled at Panthera, who was purring loudly and seemed genuinely happy that I was well. Panthera moved back a few paces and then leapt towards me, and in a thunderous flash of lightning, we were one again. I immediately felt her strength and conjured myself a new outfit.

I looked about the office now, wondering if I had been dreaming. As I stood there, I felt something warm begin to slowly trickle down my inner thighs. It had NOT been a dream after all. I hugged myself, remembering my lustful encounter with the Doppelganger and could hear his words in my mind.

“I’m sure you enjoyed that, VladisJ,” his voice echoed in my mind. “Remember what I said, that this can happen MUCH more often. All you have to do is join me. And you want to, don’t you? You want to be with me, to serve me, to make love to me. And all you have to do for that to happen is to want it enough that you say ‘yes’.”

I smiled softly as I heard the words again and again in my mind. “Join you? Be with you? Make love to you? Mmmmmmmmmm¼ Of course the answer is, yesssssssss¼. But, I will never serve you! Until we meet again, my dear Doppelganger!” I cried the last sentence out into the empty room, and it echoed back softly. I laughed and conjured my cloak about me, letting it transport me back to my home, safe and warm, where I could contemplate my next¼.move!

THE END?
