Beneath the ruins of Adiranthe - Part 6a

Eleria sat in her bed in the otherwise bare little room in the slave quarters.
She had slept long - she had no idea what time it was in the world above, but maybe late morning or early afternoon - and while it had probably helped, she was stiff and sore. She rubbed her thighs ruefully, there was even a little graze on one. Great. Kardan had even more to answer for... if only she could find a way of turning the tables.

This focused her and she was up and moving around straight away, ignoring the soreness in her muscles. She knew that there wasn't really going to be a way out, through the door or otherwise, but trying at least gave her something to do.

For a while, anyway. As she methodically checked the door (locked) and probed the walls and floor, her mind woke up more, and she remembered all that had happened, every detail and sensation coming flooding back into her mind.
She shook her head as if fighting the memory. She had been entirely too submissive. There were feelings amongst all of it that she would rather not think about too much, and not just the little stinging sensations and the heavy press and crush of his weight and hands in her hair that had somehow controlled her. Her face flushed warm with embarrassment.
Neither was Eleria used to being defeated. She was the lone operator, the cat burglar who hadn't been caught or defeated since she left the guildmasters. Her face flushed bright red. She longed for the power to throw him down and defeat him instead!

To her amazement, her searching fingers found something at that moment. A small piece of stone gave way as her fingertips pressed.

Then footsteps sounded outside the door to her little room. She shoved the stone back into the wall and whirled to face the door.

A Goblin marched in. It (he, she??) seemed unfazed and unconcerned by her defensive posture and flashing eyes. That in itself was somewhat demoralizing, as if she really did have no power here.
She kept her pose haughty and icy as the awful-looking creature put food in front of her. She managed, with difficulty, to resist the urge to throw the plate in the goblin's face, she would need the energy...

It left her alone with her meal. UGH... what was this, goblin food? A pallid coloured slop laced through with wet slippery green stuff, and a handful of what looked to be bugs.
After staring at the stuff for long moments, Eleria steeled her will and began to shovel it down. She was tired and very, very hungry, and who knew what the day would bring? She doubted the food was harmful, anyway -  what use was a servant who was ill from the food?

After finishing the food - the slop had at least not tasted vile, just had a sort of slippery texture ugh and the bugs had at least not been alive! - Eleria sat staring at the loose stone in the wall. What lay behind it? Anything?? She wanted to examine it further, but dare not, the Goblin or even its human boss might come to her door any moment. No, she would bide her time, perhaps tonight. And she would also need to try to get a feeling of the layout of this place, no matter what else was going on. She WOULD escape!

The determination and focus made her feel a lot better. She would use it as psychological armour, and behave coolly towards Kardan. He would not get through to her.
Should she be obedient?? she wondered. She didn't want to, but if she began to act obedient, he might let his guard down just a little, and there might even be less trouble for her in the meantime...
No, she had spat at him even after all the events of yesterday. Sudden docile behaviour would definitely arouse suspicion.

Just then the door burst open and she whirled round again to face it instead of that spot on the wall, then realised just how suspicious and guilty that might look.
Thankfully it was just Goblins again.
"Master wants ya," rasped the biggest one.
"Master can go shove it," Eleria grumbled. But when the group of four creatures bristled and looked like they might charge her en masse, the thief girl sighed. "All right, I'm coming already, you'd think I meant to pound the lot of you into dust..."

Chance Meeting - Epilogue (by Paladin)

Chance Meeting Epilogue

A small crowd waited across the lobby for the next elevator to arrive. I walked out of the breakfast lounge and paused at the fringe. A few of the business men glanced my way but without my suit I doubted many placed me as the one who’d left with the blond they’d all been salivating over. 

Now thoughts of my blond pony girl were far more interesting than contemplating the opinions of overweight middle management types. My blond had fought then submitted to me on the mats. Even now I could hardly believe the ease with which she’d slipped into the role I’d offered her. If the wrestling had been the opening of her mind, then riding her back to my room had been a revelation. 

I had physically exhausted my blond pony and then forced her on with the deliberate intent to break her will. As I’d repeatedly dropped my weight onto her oil slicked back and slipped up her spine she’d gone beyond play, beyond fantasy and had finally given me her power and control. In that moment I had felt the intoxicating power of knowing she’d surrendered completely and would obey any direction, any whim I cared to indulge.

I’d held that power in my hand as firmly as I’d held her hair and then I’d released her. That strange mix of submission and freedom had flooded her senses. 

It was really too soon to be thinking back on last night, my body was responding far too quickly.

A hand touched my arm, startling me out of my memories. A girl around nineteen or twenty stood next to me. It took me a moment to recognise the red hair of the girl who had encountered me mounted on my blond. Without the cocktail dress and make-up she looked younger than she had. She was wearing a hooded sweatshirt zipped down to show a hint of a blue sports top and her hair fell down her back in a long, single braid.

“Did you do it?” she asked.

“Do what?” I offered her nothing.

She looked around but no-one was paying us any attention. “I know it was you in the elevator.”

“Do you?”

“Well you were wearing a suit and sitting on top of a blond’s back at the time but yeah I’m pretty sure.”

I smiled as the doors opened and moved forward. The redhead caught my arm again. “This one’s full, you should wait for the next one.”

“It’s not that full.”

She shrugged, “okay I don’t mind carrying this on in a small room full of other people.”

I frowned but let the doors close. “So what is it you want to know?”

She moved a little closer, “did you ride her all night?”

“For a fair portion of it, yes.”

“Did she end up being your pony thing?”

“My ponygirl slave, yes she did.”

“She was weak anyway.”

“Really?” I looked her slowly over, noting the tone and shape of her body.

“Yeah, I’ll bet I could have kicked her ass and made her my slave easily enough.”

I smiled but said nothing. Although the thought of the two of them fighting it out for dominance was a pleasant tingling thought.

“What did you make her do?”

“Apart from wrestling her and riding her?”

“Yeah did she have to, you know” she glanced around.

“No she didn’t have to but when she submitted to me it was a natural way of showing she accepted my dominance.”

“You couldn’t dominate me,” she challenged. Slowly she unzipped her sweatshirt. The blue sports top ended just below the curve of her breasts, revealing a toned stomach and tiny lycra gym shorts. “I’m supposed to be going to the gym but,” she left the sentence unfinished.

I decided in an instant to see just how far this girl’s bravado would take her. 

“Take off your sweatshirt.”

She hesitated for a moment then pushed it back off her shoulders and let it fall to the floor. She placed her hands on her hips and stared defiantly at me. She was a little shorter than my blond and more obviously muscled, plus she has the absolute certainty and confidence in herself that only comes with youth.

Riding her would be so challenging but that would make victory even more exciting.

“Get down on all fours.”

“Here? But we’ll be seen.”

I shrugged, “the blond was brave enough to risk being seen.”

It was amusing watching the conflict cross her face. She didn’t want to be embarrassed but overriding that she didn’t want to think that my blond ponygirl was stronger or braver than she was.

Slowly she crouched down, almost as if she was reaching to get her sweatshirt. Then her knees touched the polished marble floor. Without realising it I was holding my breath, watching her intensely. She lowered herself until she was fully kneeling, then with an exhaled breath she rocked forward. The sound of her hands landing seemed overly loud but there she was on all fours in front of me.

Her back looked strong and the natural curve of her spine promised a yielding but powerful seat. The soft curve of her breast contrasted with the firmness of her stomach and the muscles in her shoulders and arms. She was built to be ridden!

The elevator doors slid open.

Before I could hesitate or change my mind I stepped over her and dropped my weight heavily onto her back. She gasped but recovered so quickly, her back literally rushing back up under me. 

I caught up the long braid and drummed my heels against her thighs. She sprang forward and I clamped my thighs along her sides to steady my balance. We hit the entrance to the elevator in such a rush that I had to lean back and check her forward motion with her long braid. 

As the doors closed she spun without warning. I wrapped my legs around her waist and squeezed. She reacted by spinning the other way, then bouncing her back up and down.

Power. She was all power and attitude. She stopped facing the doors. The reflection showed her chest heaving with the exertion but the look on her face was undaunted. 

I could feel the muscles tensing under me. I pulled her head back, “save your energy pony, you’re going to need it.”

She resisted, moving restlessly under me despite the tight grip I maintained on her head. “I’m not your pony yet,” she growled.

I laughed. This girl would fight to the end. She wouldn’t submit just because she was tired or unable to throw me. I would have to impose my will on her at all times, any let up and she would take her chance. Adrenaline pumped as I looked to the battle ahead.

“Oh you’ll get your chance to prove that.” Keeping a tight grip on her hair I reached out and pushed a button. She quickly tried to move out from under me but I’d expected that and just as quickly had my weight centred on her back again.

“Where are we going?” She demanded. Then she paused, “did that blond slave put up as much of a fight?”

“Up to the roof. Why so determined to better her?” I asked genuinely interested.

Some of the tension went out of her and I let a length of braid slide between my fingers. “When I first saw you siting on her back I didn’t know if I should be amazed, shocked or if I should call the police. I mean you don’t usually see a girl in her underwear being ridden in an elevator. Then you made her talk and you seemed so powerful. I wandered what would make her want to be under you like that. Then she gave me a look and I knew she was telling me to back off cause you were hers.”

“I’m surprised you even cared,” I interrupted.

She nodded, “I’ve always been too competitive but right then I just wanted to give that blond slave the beating of her life. I wanted you to watch while I beat her down and made her cry and admit that I was the better, stronger girl and that you should be trying to ride me.”

I drew in a deep breath, I really didn’t know what to say and at that moment my heart was pounding.

“Why are we going to the roof?”

“Lots of space and pads and the first classes don’t start until midday today.”

She moved and my legs tightened instinctively, “just seeing if you were awake,” she laughed. “I’m not going to let you win,” she added.

“I’d be very disappointed if you did,” I replied.

“We’re nearly there. I want you to tell me something like you told that blond.”

I understood what she meant. I reached forward and ran my hand up her neck and lifted her chin. “I’m going to ride you pony. I’m going to dominate and control you and when you’re begging me to stop and let you rest I’m going to keep riding you until your muscles are quivering and shaking.” 

She was trembling under me and I could tell from the look in her eyes it was with excitement not fear. I whispered into her ear, “I will ride you until you collapse under me and then I will put you on your back and sit on your chest. That way I will be able to look into your eyes while you’re submitting to me. Once you have admitted that you’re beaten and that you’re my obedient ponygirl slave I’ll let you up and then I’ll ride you and you’ll obey my every command.”

The elevator stopped and the doors slid open. I grabbed at her braid and tightened my legs as she exploded out into the sunlight. I whooped and brought my hand down firmly on her backside. the battle was on!
