Episode I The Corsair

 

Chapter 6  Training

 

Qwang Gui was gratified to hear a whimper escape the red-headed girl’s lips.  He had been raping her for over an hour now, and this was the first real indication of the pain he was causing her.  She was confined in a painful bondage position, her body forced back at a seventy degree angle to the floor by an iron collar he had placed about her throat.  Attached to the collar was an iron rod that slanted down from her neck at an angle equal to the incline of her body.  It was attached to the floor by an iron ring that allowed the rod to move back and forth.  Halfway between the floor and her neck a horizontal bar extended from the rod and locked onto her arms just above the elbows.  By pressing on the floor with her palms, she could help support her weight.  To add to her discomfort, her legs were folded beneath her in a kneeling position and held there by shackles that kept her ankles anchored to the floor.  Enough flexibility had been left in the shackles for Qwang Gui to spread her legs so that he could have his way with her.  Forced to support most of her weight on her hands, and unable to move her arms in front of her in any case, she was helpless to prevent him from doing whatever he wanted to her.  And Qwang Gui was quite inventive at ensuring that his sexual fantasies were as painful and humiliating for her as possible. 

 

He had started this particular rape session gently enough, if shackling her in her present painful condition could be considered gentle.  Even before he started by licking her breasts, Melissa was shaking with the strain of the unnatural position Qwang Gui had chained her in.  She had already been taught a violent lesson earlier in the week. 

 

The day after she had been captured Qwang Gui had decided that Melissa should learn some of the Shang language.  He had taught her twenty words.  Still weak from her ordeal of the previous day, she had not been able to concentrate properly and the Shang language was a difficult one for her to learn in any case.  He had gone over the words three times, having Melissa repeat each one.  And then he had tested her.  She had not been able to recall or pronounce six of the twenty words.  Six soldiers had been marched into the cabin and been allowed to enjoy her for two hours.  She got the message.  The next time he went over the vocabulary she had been much more attentive. 

 

After that she merely had to put up with Qwang Gui’s attention.  The Shang leader was not as well endowed as most men, but he more than made up for it by refusing to violate her without forcing her to undergo some sort of painful bondage.  He had started the night of her vocabulary lesson. 

 

She had been served the same sort of evening meal as the night before.  The food and drink was of good quality and she had eaten her fill.  She didn’t remember falling asleep, but realized that she must have when she awoke to find herself in a most perilous predicament.  She had been wearing a simple cotton dress when she had eaten, but when she woke she was naked.  While she slept someone (she suspected it was Qwang Gui since he was there to greet her) had secured her in some sort of harness. 

 

A heavy leather belt had been strapped about her waist.  On either side of the belt was a heavy metal ring.  A leather armband had been placed just above each of her elbows and attached to the rings on the belt around her waist.  It allowed her a fair bit of freedom of movement in her arms, but prevented her from offering any real opposition to anything that Qwang Gui might want to do to her.  Her legs had been spread wide and secured in that position by fastening chains to each of her ankles and attaching the chains to rings about ten feet apart in the ceiling beam of the cabin.  She was left with her arms pinned to her sides and her legs spread-eagled in a “V.”  It would have been impossible to offer a more inviting target to a rapist.  However, there was one more twist to her position.  She was lying face down on the bed; her sweet derriere presented to her attacker And Qwang Gui had taken full advantage of her vulnerable position.  He had started with a conventional rape, forcing his shaft into her quivering vulva.  Melissa had endured it with fortitude, gritting her teeth against the pain, and thankful of the fact that at least her humiliation was not taking place in front of hundreds of leering soldiers.  But it had taken a nasty twist, when Qwang Gui had pulled his dripping phallus from her vagina before ejaculating and then parted the cheeks of her bottom.  Realizing that she was to experience a new form of torment, she had clenched her buttocks, but Qwang Gui had been patient.  Slowly but surely he had forced his way into her tight anus.  She had screamed in anguish and tried to twist away from him, but he had been relentless.  He had buried himself to the hilt and then pounded her unremittingly, ignoring her pleas for mercy. 

 

After that, Melissa had been subjected to one bondage position after the other.  Qwang Gui seemed incapable of having normal sex.  And he seemed to have an inexhaustible supply of ropes, shackles, and mechanical contraptions to confine and torture his victim.  Her current situation was typical of a night of “entertainment” at his hands.  It had begun with him securing her in the various rods and shackles that now prevented her from escaping his attentions.  He had started gently, licking and caressing her breasts and foundling every part of her body.  He seemed especially fascinated by her large breasts, probably due to the fact that Shang women were much less well endowed, and had spent a good deal of time sucking and biting her nipples.  Melissa had endured it all without protest, but then he had entered her defenseless vagina and as she sweated through the ordeal of yet another rape he had intensified his assault by forcing an ivory dildo into her anus.  It was this that had caused her to whimper.  It seemed that inflicting pain was also part of sex for Qwang Gui.  He never failed to make her cry out.  If she attempted to deny him this pleasure he just kept on hurting her until she gave in.  Sometimes she wondered why she did not just give him what he wanted as soon as he started on her, but some sort of stubborn pride made her fight him as best she could.  And so each night, she and the Shang lord played their little game.  And each night he won, reducing her to tears.  Only then was he satisfied. 

 

By the third week of her captivity Melissa had settled into a routine.  The black ship had been sailing steadily eastward for the entire time, pushed by a steady east wind.  Melissa began to wonder just how wide the ocean was.  The Shang Empire seemed to be incredibly far away.  Her sessions with Qwang Gui continued as before.  She now accepted the nightly rounds pain and humiliation as part of her life.  She was learning to be obedient; learning to please her master.  Her vocabulary was also expanding.  By now she had mastered over six hundred Shang words.  It was a large enough vocabulary that she could now engage in limited conversation with her Shang conqueror.  She also began to learn a bit more about the structures of the Shang language.

 

One of the first words she had been required to learn was the Shang term for master, sheu dai.  She learned that the term really did not mean master; but rather translated as “I am your slave.”  At least that is what she thought at first.  Upon further investigation she discovered that it more properly meant “I am your dog.”  It was a revelation.  She now understood that in the eyes of the Shang there was no one who ranked lower than she did.  She was even less than a mistress or concubine.  Each time she bowed before Qwang Gui she was affirming her lack of worth.  But prostrating herself before her master was something that had become automatic.  Qwang Gui insisted upon the most abject demonstration of her servitude.  She was forced to prostrate herself before him, going to her knees and then bowing her head until it touched the floor and touching her palms to the floor over her head.  It was a position the Shang called duja and it signified complete subjugation. 

 

After being taken prisoner she had been confined to Qwang Gui’s cabin.  Except for the time she had been given a lesson by being gang raped, she had seen no one else.  It was her job when she was not “entertaining” the Shang lord to keep the cabin clean and serve as his servant.  Qwang Gui expected abject servitude.  It was as if he could not humiliate her enough.  She was forced to perform the most demeaning of tasks in the most meticulous manner.   And that included the nightly sex sessions.  Qwang Gui always insisted that she use her mouth to stimulate him to readiness before he had his fun with her.  He was most particular about how she did it and she had received a slap more than once for being too rough or not enthusiastic enough.  She had learned that absolute obedience was her only choice. 

 

On this particular day she was going about her chores as expected when something different happened.  Qwang Gui returned to the cabin early.  Melissa performed the duja as expected.  Her eyes on the floor, she did not see the figure who came into the cabin behind the Shang lord.  Only when he ordered her to rise did she see that he was not alone.  It took a supreme act of will not to show her fear.  Standing beside the Shang lord was the dark clad figure who had so easily defeated her and Vandar.  Not knowing how to respond, Melissa kowtowed as she would have done for her master. 

 

Qwang Gui nodded his approval.  “You see, Chang Jao,” he said to the dark-clad figure, “she has learned to show the proper respect.”

 

Chang Jao did not reply and Qwang Gui’s next remark was addressed to Melissa.  “From now on dai lu,” he said, using the Shang term for ‘white dog,’ you will respond to Chang Jao as you do to me.  You are as much his slave as you are mine and may not refuse him anything.”

 

Melissa remained with her forehead pressed to the floor, in total submission.  She was now conditioned to obey Qwang Gui’s orders without thought, but the fear of what the mysterious Chang Jao might do to her filled her with apprehension.  She tried to control her trembling as she awaited further instruction.  But none were forthcoming from the Shang lord.  Instead, bowing to Chang Jao he left the cabin, leaving Melissa alone with her new master.

 

“Up,” ordered Chang Jao.  Melissa was soon to learn that he was a man of few words, but one who, like Qwang Gui, expected to be obeyed without hesitation. 

 

She rose as ordered.  She was dressed in what Melissa had come to think of her slave costume; a loose fitting silk vest and pantaloons of the same material.  Cotton slippers covered her feet.  Both the vest and pantaloons were so sheer as to show every curve of her graceful body.  Dark eyes scrutinized her intently.  Strangely, she found herself blushing as Chang Jao’s dark eyes peered at her from between the folds of the scarf that hid his features.  For a full minute he did not speak and then he uttered just one word.  “Come.”  He turned and left the cabin.  Without a word Melissa trotted behind him like a faithful dog. 

 

For the first time since she had been captured she was allowed on deck and she tried to look about her while following dutifully behind her master.  She hoped that she would not be punished for her curiosity.  The ship was as she remembered it, except that the deck was no longer covered with blood.  Sailors went about their duty and here and there soldiers stood on guard.  She wondered where Vandar had been imprisoned and what was being done to him.  Had he been forced to undergo an ordeal similar to hers? 

 

They walked right across the deck, from the stern castle where Qwang Gui had his cabin to the forecastle where the crew bunked.  Chang Jao entered the forecastle through a small door and went down a companionway.  Melissa found herself in a small dark room.  The strange Shang warrior went to a small chest and took out a white coloured garment.  He tossed it to her.  “Dress,” he ordered.

 

Melissa stripped off her clothing.  It was an action that she had performed dozens of times in front of Qwang Gui and she no longer felt any shame.  Then she put on the much heavier garments that Chang Jao had given her.  They were made of thick cotton and consisted of a long-sleeved open shirt that closed in front with a set of ties, and a pair of pants.  When she had dressed to her surprise Change Jao approached her carrying a white belt.  He wrapped it about her waist and tied it for her.  Melissa noticed that a similar belt, but one the same colour as his black costume was wrapped about his middle.  He had tied hers in the same way as his, and she supposed that there was something significant about the way it was tied.  Chang Jao stepped back and gave her a quick look and a nod of approval.  Then he turned on his heel and went back the way he had come.  Melissa trotted along behind as before.  This time, however, she was barefoot.  Her cotton slippers had been left behind.

 

They returned to Qwang Gui’s cabin.  There, to her surprise, Chang Jao bowed to her.  It was only a little bow, but it was a bow nevertheless.  Melissa fell to her knees as she had been shown.  Chang Jao then motioned for her to sit up and began to perform a series of strange exercises in front of her.  As Melissa watched mystified, he spoke.  “Do as I do.”  He did not elaborate, but continued the exercises as if she was not even there. 

 

Awkwardly, she tried to copy his actions.  Chang Jao moved so gracefully, that the movements seemed quite simple, but Melissa found to her surprise, that copying even the simplest of exercises was amazingly difficult.  Chang Jao did not seem to notice her awkwardness, but continued to move gracefully about the cabin.  Melissa noticed that he actually covered very little distance, returning again and again to the place from which he had started.  Melissa tried to follow him and after a few minutes, Chang Jao stopped his own exercises and approached her.  She felt a thrill of fear as the strange man touched her arm, fearing that she was going to be punished for not doing as she had been instructed, but to her relief he did not hurt her, but instead moved her arm and then her legs so that she followed his movements more accurately.  Then he stepped back to watch how she did.  This time, Melissa copied him a little more exactly.  He did not comment, but simply watched her as she continued.

 

The exercises went on for over four hours.  Melissa was amazed at how much sweat poured from her body as she attempted to copy the seemingly simple moves Chang Jao was trying to show her.  They broke for the midday meal.  By now Melissa was becoming used to the Shang diet.  She had no choice since nothing else was offered.  It was wholesome fare, even if it was a little heavy on fish and rice.  The Shang seems to have what she regarded as a strange affinity for raw seafood.  It had bothered her at first, but she had since learned to tolerate it, if not enjoy it. 

 

Lunch was followed by another four hours of strenuous stretching and exercising.  Then with a slight bow Chang Jao left her.  Melissa as was proper prostrated herself until the strange Shang warrior had left the cabin.  For a few minutes she was alone and then Qwang Gui entered.  Melissa immediately performed the duja, and pressed her face to the deck.

 

“Stand,” he ordered, and then stood, eying her sweating body with obvious interest.  “Disrobe,” he continued. 

 

He spoke in Shang, but Melissa’s vocabulary had progress enough that she understood.  Sheu dai,” she replied bowing almost to the floor.  With tired fingers she stripped off the sweat soaked garments, hanging them carefully by the hammock she slept in when she was not serving Qwang Gui.  She stood naked as the Shang lord scrutinized her.  By now she was used to this inspection and it did not bother her as he walked around her in a complete circle admiring the supple curves of her body.  He nodded in approval, and began to remove his robe.  He motioned to the bed as he finished and Melissa obediently trotted over and lay down, her legs slightly spread as she had been taught.  Without further ado, Qwang Gui mounted her. 

 

It was not a pleasant experience, but Melissa had learned to pretend that she enjoyed it.  Soon she was gasping in simulated passion.  She also cried out on cue when he bit down hard on her nipples.  That was much less difficult to fake, as it really did hurt.   For some reason on this night that was as far as he went; forgoing his usual experiments in bondage.  Melissa wondered at this, but did not question her good fortune.  After only a half hour it was over.  Qwang Gui seemed to have been excited by the sight of her sweat-soaked body and gave vent to his lust much earlier than usual. 

 

When he was finished he ordered her to dress in her usual diaphanous garments and serve him supper.  Then, after they both had eaten her gave her another lesson in Shang.  But this time he went one step further.  In addition to adding to her vocabulary and explaining a bit more of the structure of the Shang language, he took out a quill and showed her the Shang alphabet.  Tired as she was, Melissa was raptly attentive.  Not to learn everything taught would bring her humiliating punishment.  At the end of the session, she had learned another twenty Shang words, and had mastered twenty letters of the fifty-one letter Shang alphabet.  Qwang Gui nodded his approval.  He seemed more than pleased. 

 

“Tonight,” he said, “you have earned the honour of sharing my bed until morning.  And then you will continue your lessons with Chang Jao.  It seems to agree with you.”

 

Melissa bowed low.  Sheu dai, I am honoured,” she said, but as she hid her emerald eyes from him, she was thinking not of what lay ahead, but of her lost love.  She knew nothing of what had happened to Vandar.  She could only hope that the Shang had not treated him too badly.  She did not dare ask, fearing to bring punishment upon herself and her lover.  But even as Qwang Gui took her to bed once more, and she responded to his ardor with pretended pleasure, he mind was on the corsair captain.  It was his memory that kept her going.  One day, she hoped, they would be reunited.  It was unthinkable to believe otherwise. 

 

 

Melissa’s scream echoed throughout the dark hall.  Qwang Gui had outdone himself this time.  The bondage machine she was strapped into was truly painful.  More painful than anything she had yet encountered.  The machine was simple enough, consisting of nothing more than a table high platform with a padded wooden beam across the middle and two metal stanchions about two feet in height bolted to one end of it.  it was the application of this simple apparatus that was so painful. 

 

Qwang Gui had ordered her to strip, and she had dutifully obeyed.  Then he had instructed her to climb onto the platform and lie across the padded beam.  She had done so without hesitation, just as she had done many times since meeting the Shang lord.  As her back arched across the padded beam she experienced the usual feeling of helplessness and resignation.  To disobey Qwang Gui was unthinkable.  All thoughts of resistance had long since been driven out of her.  She simply did as she was told and hoped that the experience would not be too painful or drawn out.  But she had made a mistake the previous day.  She had returned from her daily workout with Chang Jao somewhat elated.  That day she had completed all of her exercises and routines without the usual sense of awkwardness she usually felt.  Instead everything she had been learning seemed to flow together.  It was the third month of her training and finally things seemed to click into place. 

 

The long ocean voyage had finally ended and the ship had reached the Shang Empire.  The black ship had sailed into a harbour magnificent beyond anything she could have imagined.  It was the Shang port of Chinwa and it had taken her breath away.  A giant city spread beyond the waterfront, greater than any city of her world.  It made Slandor look like a hamlet, and the crowed harbour with its thousands of ships of all sizes simply dazzled her.

 

She had been taken to Qwang Gui’s palace.  It turned out that the Shang lord was much more important than she had realized.  As the ship was offloaded, she had looked for some sight of Vandar, but was unable to spot him anywhere.  Then Qwang Gui climbed aboard a litter carried by a dozen slaves.  Melissa had been forced to jog alongside, a metal collar about her neck and a chain connecting her to the litter.  She had been ordered to remove her clothing so that as she passed through the crowded streets of the Shang city hundreds of heads turned to see the incredible spectacle of a naked red-headed woman being paraded before them. 

 

Upon reaching the palace, she had been assigned a room close to Qwang Gui’s where he could have easy access to her and she could continue to serve him.  However, for most of her time in the palace, she never saw the Shang lord, at least not during the day.  Instead she spent up to twelve hours a day with Chang Jao, training constantly.  The remainder of her time was spent perfecting her knowledge of the Shang language and writing.  It was a full, exhausting day and she often fell asleep during her sessions with Qwang Gui.  But this session was not one of them. 

 

Yesterday, she had returned from her training excited about her newfound proficiency in the exercises he gave her.  That had been the mistake.  Qwang Gui had noticed her buoyant mood and decided to do something about it.  He wanted her obedient and subservient, not confident and independent, and this was his way of reinforcing that.  There had been no training session the next day.  Instead, she had spent the entire day strapped to the machine. 

 

Once she had arched herself across the padded beam, Qwang Gui had fastened a leather restraint across her pelvis, pressing her bottom onto the platform.  Then he had pulled her arms to her sides, and fastened them to the platform with leather straps.  Next, he had taken each of her legs and forced them back over her head, securing each of her ankles to the stanchions at the top of the platform.  Melissa caught her breath as her body was forced into the unnatural position.  If it had not been for the exercise regime
Chang Jao had put her through in the last few months, she would have experienced severe pain.  As it was, she was distinctly uncomfortable, and terribly exposed.  She was arched across the rounded beam, her shoulders pressed into the platform and her legs spread in a Y-shape.  Each of her ankles was almost as far pack as her head and anchored to the top of each stanchion.  As usual, her sex organs and anus were wide open to invasion by her torturer.  She suddenly began to have a glimmer that this would be no ordinary session.  This time Qwang Gui was prepared to inflict real pain.

 

He began by simply leaving her in the position he had bound her for several hours.  After awhile Melissa began to cramp up and she tried to shift her body to ease the growing pain in her hip joints.  But nothing she did could stop the slow agonizing increase in pain.  She began to breath more and more heavily, as she fought to relax her overextended muscles.  But nothing she tried had any lasting effect.  Slowly but surely, like water rising in a cistern, the pain increased, until she had to exert all of her willpower to keep from screaming.  And then Qwang Gui had returned. 

 

He studied her for a full minute enjoying her discomfort.  She was covered with a fine sheen of sweat, a condition that always excited him.  He smiled to himself, she would be drenched in sweat before he was through with her.  He moved beside her and ran his fingers over the smooth muscular contours of her exquisite body.  As much as he touched her, he never tired of the experience.  He watched her emerald eyes as hands touched her most intimate places.  The device he had placed her in had drawn her body as tight as a drum.  Every muscle of her body was taut and trembling with the strain.  He licked his lips.  This session was going to be particularly delicious. 

 

Melissa’s eyes widened as his fingers parted the lips of her vulva.  She could tell from Qwang Gui’s demeanor that this session was going to be special, and that meant painful.  She watched him intently as he proceeded with his examination of her body.  She hated the way he touched her, but there was nothing she could do about it.  In her mind it was still part of her agreement with him.  She had promised that she would do anything to save Vandar and her subjugation was part of that promise. 

 

“You are getting stronger dai zhu,” he said, in a variant of the name he called her.  This term meant “red dog,” a reference to her brilliant red hair. 

 

“You are more confident.  More dangerous.  You need discipline.  I intend to supply that discipline.”  As he spoke, he picked up an item from a small table a few feet from the platform.  Melissa followed his every move, wondering what was in store for her.  At first it looked innocent enough, but then she blanched.  In all the time Qwang Gui had “played” with her, he had never done anything to mutilate her body.  But what he had in his hands was intended to do just that.

 

She thought of protesting, but realized that was exactly what would give Qwang Gui the greatest enjoyment.  Nevertheless, she whimpered in fear as the Shang lord pulled the folds of her vulva together.  Involuntarily, she wriggled her backside, as he moved his free hand toward her. Uggnnh!” her grunt of pain was forced out of her as a gold ring was clamped through her labia majora, just below her tiny clitoris.

 

The pain was not great, at least not compared to what Qwang Gui had done to her on previous occasions, but it was something she had never imagined being done to her.  The one inch ring symbolized her subjugation, a humiliating reminder of what she had become.  But Qwang Gui was just getting started.  He returned to the table, and came back with two shiny bits of metal.  Her eyes rolled back in her head as she tried to follow him as he moved behind her.  “Please no,” she thought.  What he held in his hand promised considerable pain.

 

Qwang Gui was enjoying himself.  He loved watching the face of his victim as he deliberately telegraphed his intentions.  It built up fear and tension in his victim.  The redheaded beauty’s eyes were wide with fright, as he pinched her right nipple.  Then they went even wider, becoming deep emerald pools of fright as he touched the razor edge of the metal hook to her trembling flesh.  He watched as she tightened her jaw, preparing herself to fight the pain.  He shook his head.  He had subjected this beautiful woman to more than three months of degrading treatment, as she still had some vestige of pride.  But soon, he would break her.  Then he could mold her as he saw fit and make her into one of his own.  In the meantime, he was enjoying the process of breaking her.  He was in no hurry.  Sooner or later she would crack under the repeated sexual degradation and outright torture.  He turned the hook, twisting it into her soft flesh.

 

Melissa writhed in pain as her nipple was pierced and then let out a squeal as Qwang Gui hooked a small chain onto the end of the hook.  The mere act of tugging on the hook was painful in the extreme.  He looped the chain over a light crossbar connecting the two stanchions and attached a small weight to it.  A sob escaped her lips as he let the weight drop, pointing the tip of her breast upward.  Then he produced a second hook and impaled her left nipple, repeating the process of attaching the chain and the weight. 

 

Melissa’s mouth opened in a silent scream.  Beads of sweat stood out all over her body as she fought for control.  Qwang Gui had forbidden her to protest when he tortured her, and she had learned that to disobey was to invite much worse punishment.    But the awkward position he had forced her into, and the multiple piercings left her in terrible torment.  It took all of her resolve not to scream in agony.  Panting like a dog, she waited to see what the Shang lord would do next. 

 

But it was not Qwang Gui who was to cause her further pain but a man she remembered well.  Into the room came the huge form of the executioner who had dispatched the pirate crew when Melissa had been captured and the man she had been forced to have sex with in order to save Vandar’s life.  He was naked to the waist and carried a whip composed of strands of horsehair.

 

Melissa tried to hold herself still, but she was filled with fear at the sight of the huge Shang warrior.  Her first encounter with him had been most painful.  It had been the beginning of her shameful degradation at the hands of the Shang, a degradation that was not yet over. 

 

Qwang Gui, bent his head close to hers.  “Do you remember Zin Chai, dai zhu?  I’m sure you do.  You gave yourself to him to save your lover.  Too bad it was a wasted gesture.”

 

A thrill of horror ran through Melissa’s belly.  Wide eyed, she turned her face to Qwang Gui’s.  He smiled cruelly.  “Oh, I did not break my word.  I did not order him executed.”

 

Melissa almost sighed in relief, but there was something about the gloating tone of Qwang Gui’s voice that told her there was something he had not told her.   “You want to know where he is don’t you dai zhu?  I will tell you, but first you must entertain Zin Chai.”

 

Melissa knew then, that something horrible had happened to Vandar.  That Qwang Gui had broken his word.  A terrible feeling of absolute despair descended upon her, and then Zin Chai, went to work on her. 

 

The horsehair whip swished through the air.  It was really nothing more than hundreds of strands of horsehair bound to a wooden handle.  It was too light to break the skin, but swung with all the strength Zin Chai could muster, it delivered a stinging blow to Melissa’s tight backside.  It hurt her, but was not debilitating.  However, coupled with the agonizing stretching of her body, it was painful in the extreme, and Melissa gasped as the strands flailed against her derriere. 

 

Zin Chai swung the whip again.  And then again.  He kept up a steady tempo, raining blow after blow upon her quivering flesh.  At first the lash only stung.  But as the punishment wore on, it began to hurt as her tortured flesh reddened under the continued abuse.  Melissa began to flinch even before the whip landed, and then began to twist her body in a futile attempt to escape the punishment.  But any movement, however slight, only served to aggravate the torturous agony in her pieced nipples.  Each time she flinched, her breasts bounced, and the razor edges of the hooks cut into the quivering flesh.  She began to whimper.

 

 

Melissa lay exhausted, too weak to protest as Zin Chai raped her, receiving his reward for the several hours her had devoted to her torture.  Blood dripped from her ravaged nipples.  She had almost torn the hooks loose in her desperate struggles.  Her beautifully rounded bottom was a mass of welts from the repeated blows of the horsehair whip.  The pain of the lash had eventually become so incredibly excruciating that she had screamed herself hoarse, but nothing she did helped to lessen the pain in any way.  Instead, it increased it, sending waves of unbelievable pain through her hip joints.  Her bondage was so brutal as to be almost crippling, but nothing she did reduced her agony in any way.  Eventually, she was too debilitated to do anything more than lie on the platform, and let Qwang Gui and Zin Chai do what they wanted with her.  The rape was the final humiliation.  This too seemed interminable.  Zin Chai took his time in satisfying his lust, and eventually Melissa lost track of what was happening to her.  She lay in a trance, barely conscious, while the Shang executioner pounded her mercilessly, until finally, with a groan of immense pleasure he climaxed and withdrew his dripping member from her ravaged vagina.

 

Qwang Gui, who had watched her torment the entire time, bent over her.  Except for the heaving of her tortured breasts, Melissa might have been dead.  Blood from her bleeding nipples coated her torso, and dribbled from her violated vagina.  But as he leaned close to her, her eyelids flickered, revealing a glimpse of her enchanting green eyes.  He knew then that she was still conscious. 

 

Melissa was aware of the presence of the brutal Shang lord, but was too weak to respond to him.  Slowly, she opened her eyes.  She recalled that he had promised her something, although she was having difficulty remembering exactly what it was.  Then it crept back into her mind.  Vandar,” she croaked.

 

“I see you still want to know what became of your lover,” Qwang Gui said.  “I am surprised a woman of your spirit had not asked sooner.  You should know that I kept my word.  I spared his life.  He was not executed.  He did, however, have quite a long swim when I had him thrown overboard.”  He sneered, twisting his mouth in a cruel smile as he saw the look of abject despair sweep across Melissa’s face.  “Do not worry dai zhu; I doubt that he had to swim far.  You see, the bodies of the pirate scum that we executed attracted a great many sharks.  I am sure they had no objection into taking their food while it was still alive.”  He laughed, a cruel harsh chuckle as tears filled Melissa’s eyes and she wept as her heart broke.  Turning away, he hummed a little tune.  He had finally broken the redheaded bitch.  Now he would rebuild her in the image he desired.
