The faint jingle of her black links echoed about the room as Aknyl sauntered over to the kneeling spellcaster, her movements fluid and sensual, while maintaining her domineering mystique. Bending at her waist, a fingernail tilted the man's head back, so that she was looking upon the veil of chains that obscured her face. Her eyes were clearly visible, however, and as their gazes met, the room about them began to darken, fading from view until there was naught but himself, and the kyton who had once been his slave.
"You have much to answer for, mortal," she whispered, her voice faint and seductive. The chains seemed to writhe against her face, before slithering away, revealing the bruised and battered visage of a succubus the wizard had summoned for purposes of practicing his 'craft' in the past. His wards had kept the demon completely cowed, to the point where he was able to beat her at will, for the slightest mistake. He'd gotten carried away one night, however, and had taken a cold-iron fireplace poker to her face, thrashing her so savagely that her material vessel failed her, releasing her back to the Abyss. Though he'd never admitted it to himself, he'd developed feelings for the fiend, misguided as they were. The guilt welled in his belly, but he could not avert his eyes. "Please...please, not that..." he whimpered, shame tinging his words.
Even as the words escaped him, he felt a tightness in his throat...and then about his throat, as barbed chain dug into his flesh, and other chains wrapped about his elbows and knees, drawing him into the air in an almost draw-and-quartering pose, holding him aloft and with his head back. "Did you think you would earn your forgiveness so easily?" the succubus' voice queried, smoky, erotic, forcing him into a state of intense erection as it caressed his ear.
