#1 of Thieves

This as the title suggests is a work-in-progress I have been writing off and on since around March of this year. I will post more later, but I am giving a sneak peek to my watchers here on Sofurry since it's been a good while since I posted anything here. Please enjoy and tell me what you think of it so far. Comments are always welcome be they praise or (Keep it constructive please) critisism.


All was quiet on the castle grounds. A large castle not too far from a large village set against a mountain and flanked on two sides by forest. A handful of night shift guards walked lazily this way and that, patrolling their routes. A pair of yellow eyes watched them all from a tree in the forest. "One...Two...Three..." a female voice counted softly, sizing them up. "Fifteen in all on the outside. Should be simple enough to get in." she thought. A thin feline figure moved silently up to the castle walls. She was dressed in very light skin tight clothes that accentuated her figure nicely. At her side were two pouches. She leaned against the wall and listened intently, she could faintly hear the footsteps of a guard passing by on the opposite side and she reached into a pouch to retrieve a small grappling hook. She climbed the wall and perched atop it, taking in the castle grounds from her closer position and deciding that the currently unguarded cellar would be the best entrance. Quickly she moved across the grounds, avoiding sight of the guards as she moved from shadow to shadow in the moonlight. When she reached the door, she pulled it open and slipped inside without a sound. Inside of the cellar her nose curled at the stench of mildew on the walls. Grabbing a torch from the wall, she moved down into the cellar. "Maneki... What happened to you?" she asked to herself, thinking back to two days ago.

"Hear ye! Hear ye! Sly aquires the largest diamond dug up in this area. Names it the Twilight Diamond!" shouted the newsboy waving a paper around in the village. "The female walked by and took a paper, tossing a coin to the kid. She was a cream colored cat, light brown on her feet, ears and tail tip. There was a splash of yellow fur on the tips of her ears and tail, and a ring of yellow above the brown fur on her feet. She read the newspaper as she moved into an alleyway. "Well well, look what we have here boys." came a voice in front of her. The female stopped but didn't stop reading her paper as she heard two pairs of footsteps moving around her. "This fine piece of tail thinks she can use our alley. Well what she doesn't know is that there's a price to pay for passing through this alley." he continued. "Is there now?" she asked absently. "Yes there is, and being a female with the looks you've got working for you...You can pay with your gold, or your body." he replied. The female just sighed as she closed her eyes and reached into her pouch. She stole a glance at the two walking around her, a dingo, and a fox. They each had their hands on their swords threateningly and were sneering at her. But that's not what she was looking for. "Okay then boys. How about I pay with this!?" she said as she pulled a small vial from her pouch filled with a black liquid and threw it to the ground quickly. Both males gasped as a thick black smoke surrounded her instantly. They both began coughing quickly, covering their mouths with their hands before falling over unconscious. When the smoke cleared, the female was still there, crouched low to the ground, the cloth of her shirt pulled over her nose and mouth. She waited till the smoke was gone and took a deep breath. "Brain-dead idiots." she said as she relieved them both of their coin pouches. "Never underestimate your opponent." she said as she smiled down at them. She gasped herself as she is grabbed from behind by another figure, arm across her neck, her right arm held behind her tightly. "The same could be said to you kitty cat." came the male voice behind her. The female sneered as she struggled against her assailant. "So sure of yourself, you didn't even notice me there." he said smugly. In her struggles the female looked down and noticed a shadow on the ground, one that didn't belong to either her or her attacker. "Taking my own advice of not underestimating my opponent also entails knowing my opponent is present." she said, hiding a smirk. "Doesn't matter. I caught you off guard and now you're mine. I know who you are. Luck, One of two feline thieves that's been plaguing this area. You'll fetch me a high price if I turn you in to the authorities for the bounty on your head. But why do that when that beautiful body of yours will fetch an even higher price on the slave market?" he asked with a smile. "So confident. If you know who I am, then you should know I rarely travel alone. Now 'Neki!" she shouted. "What?" asked the male looking around before feeling the weight of another figure drop on him from above, knocking him out with the impact. "That was a close one Lucky." came a female voice as the figure turned and pulled her hood back, revealing herself to be a calico furred feline, a light brown patch of fur over her left eye. "I knew you were there. I wasn't worried." replied Luck, taking the man's coin pouch next, as well as a few potions. "Well that's because I showed you my shadow. Maybe next time I'll leave it as a complete surprise and make you sweat for being late." said the calico as they turned to walk away. "I'm sorry I was running late Maneki, but I did find our next target." said Luck smiling. "What is it?" asked the calico curiously. "The Twilight Diamond." replied Luck picking up her newspaper and showing her friend the large gemstone. The picture of the gemstone sparkled in its reflection in the slightly shorter feline's eyes. "When do we go after it?" asked Maneki. "As soon as I do a little recon. Can't have any more mistakes like last time." replied Luck eyeing her friend questioningly. "Oh come on. The guy hired one more guard after I scouted the place. That's not my fault." said Maneki exasperated. "I wonder. You may be losing your touch 'Neki." said Luck seriously. "I am not! In fact I'll prove it to you. I'll steal this "Twilight Diamond" on my own. And I'll do it tonight." she said boldly. "Maneki, I didn't mean..." "No. I want to do this Lucky." said Maneki reassuring Luck that it was her decision. Luck sighed to herself before putting her hand on the calico's head. "Be careful 'Neki." she said softly before planting a kiss on her lips. "I always am. That's why I usually do the more delicate work." she smiled back.

Luck moved through the catacomb-like cellar, eyes roving this way and that, looking for anything out of the ordinary. She froze suddenly, the fur on her tail standing on end. Her eyes stopped on a small glowing green area on the floor in the doorway between two rooms. She slowly moved down and used her tail to brush air over the area. The dust she disturbed uncovered a small rune on the floor. "Trap runes." she thought as she reached into her pouch and took out a small book. Flipping through the pages she found the rune in question. "Paralysis rune? At least he's not trying to kill his intruders. Though that may not be much better." she said as she unsheathed a dagger from her side. The dagger had glowing runes on it as well. She bent down and very carefully touched the tip of the dagger to the glowing symbol on the floor. Taking another glance at her book, she cut a line across one of the symbols in the rune, the glow fading quickly after. She smiled as she kissed her dagger. "Rune disarming Dagger. I love you." she said as she resheathed the blade and stepped forward. A loud click sounded as the brick she stepped on depressed with her weight and iron bars descended from the ceiling on either side of her, trapping the feline in the doorway. "Pressure plate?" she asked panicked as she looked around for a way out. Holes in the walls she'd previously not seen began secreting a green gas into her new cell. "Gas." she said as she pulled the top of her shirt over her nose and mouth again. "This cloth magically holds thirty seconds of fresh air in it. I have that long to figure out how to open this trap." she thought as she looked around and found a metal covering in the floor beneath the loose stone. Pulling out her lockpicks, she set to work trying to disarm the trap. She coughed a minute later and rubbed her eyes. The art of disarming mechanical traps wasn't widely known anymore since most had switched to magical means for protection such as runes. Luck had dabbled a little in mechanical traps and had a basic knowledge of how they worked and how to shut them down. But the added pressure of the gas was getting to her. "I've got it. I just have to..." she thought before she dropped the pick, her arm too heavy to move anymore. The world around her began to spin as she looked around. She had been keeping track of the time, but too much time had passed, forty-five seconds had passed since her air supply had run out. She was losing consciousness. She felt her body go limp and wondered if this is what happened to Maneki. These thoughts were her last as she drifted into unconsciousness quickly after.

Candlelight flickered off of the walls, a wet slurping noise echoed off of the walls of the semi dark room. The feline began to stir slowly as the world began to spin again in her vision. She groaned lightly as she came around. She shook her head to try to clear the fogginess away. When that didn't work she tried to rub her temples, only to find that she couldn't move her right wrist. Her eyes shot open as she looked to the right, to see that her wrist had been secured by a shackle to the board behind her. She looked at her left wrist to find that it too had been secured, she tied to a St. Andrew's Cross. Her ears twitched as the wet sound from before came to her attention. She looked forward to see a sight that angered her to no end. Maneki stood nude on her knees, arms tied behind her in an armbinder, a blindfold over her eyes, sucking the cock of a canine male standing before her. Luck's eyes narrowed as she noted the red collar around her friend's neck and the matching cuff on her tail. "You're doing an excellent job Kitty." said the male snapping Luck's attention to him now. "What the hell is this?" she asked angrily at the scene before her. Maneki's ear twitched as she quickly stopped what she was doing, a bright blush on her face at what she could have sworn was her friend's voice. "Ah I see our newest guest is finally awake. Enjoy your time in my cellar?" asked the male, his arms crossed. "L-Lucky?" asked the calico female confused. "That's right Kitty. Your partner has finally graced us with her presence." said the male taking the blindfold from her eyes. Maneki turned to the right and her face almost turned beet red at the situation. "B-But we had a deal. You swore to me that you..." "...Wouldn't go after your partner if you were an obedient little pet? Don't get the wrong idea here. She came here all on her own, just as you did my dear." he finished for her, before running his hand over her right cheek. "You...You planned it like this. You knew she'd come after me. This was all a trap." she realized, looking up at him in horror. "Yes it was. And you were both caught in it just as I predicted you would be. Now as for you being an obedient little pet. I believe that last order I gave you was to suck my dick. And I don't remember telling you to stop." he said sternly. Maneki's eyes shrank a little as she realized this. "Yes Master..." she said before going back to work, licking his shaft before taking it into her mouth again. "Master?" asked Luck angrily. "Yes. As you can see Maneki has already accepted me as her Master, partially as you heard to keep me from tracking you down and dragging you in here by force. And now that you're here, you share her position." he smirked at her next. "Don't make me laugh. We're part of the thieves' guild. We've got friends. They'll come looking for us." replied Luck. "Bluffing will do you no good. My employer gave me all the details on you two. Kicked from the local thieves' guild for only looking out for yourselves. You've pillaged the nearby town on your own, watching each other's backs. And you did a damn fine job of it too. No one will miss a couple of troublesome thieves. No one will care that you're gone." he replied, placing a hand on Maneki's head and guiding her rhythm. "Employer?" asked Luck confused. "Surprised? Yes I was paid to capture you two." he said. "By who? Who hired you?" asked the feline quickly. "Isn't it obvious? The town you plundered. The mayor himself came to me and asked if I could take care of you both for him. He didn't care what I did with you." he explained. "So the story of the Twilight Diamond was..." "...Bait to lure you both out. Of course I find that people are a lot more useful alive than dead, hence why you'll both be living as my servants...Pets if you will. I can't call you slaves because you're going to accept your submissive position willingly, right?" he asked. "Like Hell. I'd rather die that be your slave." replied Luck spitefully. "Truthfully part of me is glad to hear you say that. It means that you don't fold easily, a fine quality in a servant. However you're overlooking two important details. One was that I was specifically chosen to take care of you both. Obviously I was thought able to handle you both. The second is that I've already done my job. You are a captive in my castle, and you will remain a captive until you realize that your best option is to do as I say without question." he explained. "Fuck you!" she replied. "Your feisty attitude is amusing...but at the same time has gotten annoying. I think you need a little persuasion to see the truth." he said pushing Maneki's head backwards so that his cock came free of her mouth. "What truth?" asked Luck. "The simple truth that I now own and control both you and Maneki. She's already witnessed what can happen if she disobeys, or otherwise displeases me. It's your turn to find out now." he said. Maneki's gasped at his words, she turning in fear to see the male heading for a nearby closet. "No! Please don't do it Master! She didn't mean it!" said the calico quickly, desperately. "Oh she meant it alright Kitty, and one more word from you will have you joining her." he warned in reply. The calico shut her mouth quickly, looking at Luck sadly. Luck returned a shocked look. She had been traveling with Maneki, surviving together with her for most of her life. They had seen many things together good and bad, beautiful, and horrible. What had she seen that had her so afraid? Her thoughts were derailed when a new smell drifted into her nose. She coughed as the smell filled her nose and turned to see the male standing next to her, an uncorked bottle in his hand next to her face. He smiled as he corked the bottle and moved to a nearby table. "What was that?" asked the feline. "Oh the effects should begin to show themselves very shortly he replied. Luck's gaze returned to her friend. The look in her eyes hadn't changed, as if she pitied her. The prospect was making Luck a little nervous now. "And the final preparation." he said taking a small notebook from a nearby table and jotting in it with a quill pen. As he made the final pen stroke a symbol appeared on Luck's stomach, one she had never seen before. It was only now that she noticed that she was nude just like Maneki. Anger seethed in her again as she struggled against her bonds to free herself, to get herself and Maneki out of this place. A pulse shot through her body suddenly, she freezing at the feeling. "Wh-What was...Ah!" she thought as another pulse raced through her body. This pulse was quickly followed by another, and another. The beat was steady, but speeding up slowly. "Feel that? It's your heartbeat." said the male standing next to Maneki now, holding a scroll in his hand. Luck closed her eyes, feeling as each pulse sent a rush through her body, and left a tingling sensation on her crotch and breasts. The feline jerked in her bonds as her heart rate sped up and the time between pulses shortened. She was becoming extremely horny all of a sudden. "The pollen I let you smell has the effect of a very powerful aphrodisiac when in powder form. That is step one of the demonstration." he said as he stepped closer to her.

Luck panted as waves of desire shook her body, her arousal and her lust only rising higher and higher. "Enjoying the ride?" he asked. Luck opened her eyes slowly to see his face. She whimpered softly at the sensations. "Poor little kitten. You only brought this on yourself." he said pinching her right nipple. Luck jerked at the sensation, gritting her teeth in pleasure. She jerked again as he did the same to her left nipple next. He smirked at her as she hung her head, panting softly. "When refined the pollen also can heighten the amount of pleasure felt in erogenous zones such as the nipples...and slit." he said, pressing two fingers against her snatch, she gasping suddenly as a pleasure spike shot through her body straight to her brain. "Already wet I see. The pollen is doing its job then." he said, rubbing her softly. A stray moan left the feline's lips between pants as he continued his ministrations. Luck's mind was swimming. She didn't want this, but it felt really good. If he kept this up, she'd be at the edge of climax in no time. Her eyes opened wide, a loud moan leaving her mouth as he dug those two fingers into her pussy next. "Looks to me like she's really enjoying herself Kitty." he said turning to see Maneki still on her knees behind him. She looked at him sadly. She knew where this was all going. Luck's tongue hung from her mouth, she losing herself in the pleasure. "You ready to feel something a bit more thick?" he asked, holding the covered scroll before her. She looked at him, the look in her eyes wasn't one of anger anymore. She stared at the scroll and knew instantly what he planned to do with it. She knew it didn't matter what she answered, lying to him would serve no purpose. She nodded her head softly in reply. "Good Kitten." he said as he moved it down to her snatch now. Luck's head snapped back as she felt him press the knobby end the scroll tube into her dripping pussy. Loud moans filled the room as he moved the scroll in and out of her cunt. All the while the rune symbol on her stomach began to glow brighter and brighter. Before long the female found herself on the edge of climax. "Please..." she begged softly. "What was that?" he asked. "Please...Just a little more...I'm almost there..." she said. Just as she felt what should have been the first waves of orgasmic bliss, a new pulse shot through her body as she felt her arousal fall a bit, putting her almost to the edge again. She shuddered as she felt this, but the pleasure continued, pushing her back toward climax again. A minute later and she was ready to blow. But as before, just before she was pushed far enough to climax, a pulse shot through her body, her arousal falling just short of orgasm. "Wh-What? What happened?" she asked confused as she felt him begin to slow his movements now. "Do you like the effect of my rune? It's the second part of the demonstration. You will not cum as long as it's there." he said smirking up at the confused look on her face. "B-But..." she said, unbelieving what she'd just heard. "And here's the third part." he said unrolling the scroll. She squinted as she saw the spell on the scroll. It was a summoning of some kind. The juices soaked into the scroll began to move, converging on the circle drawn in the center of the paper. The circle began to glow as the male placed the scroll on the ground before her. The text in the circle disappeared as the circle rose from the paper. Light shined below it as it began to descend back onto the paper, leaving behind a glowing mass of liquid above it. "This is a summoning spell used to summon a gel creature called a Bomke. Bomke's are very interesting creatures." said Sly as the blob formed a small anthropomorphic figure. It seemed to be sniffing the air as it turned its attention to Maneki. Maneki shivered in fear and fought with herself against the urge to run from it. "Master..." she said frightened, looking at him pleadingly. "Ah ah, this one isn't for you." said the male softly, correcting it. Luck's stared in horror as the little creature came to focus on her now, its body almost vibrating a soft trilling sound. "Have at it." said the male. The Bomke moved toward Luck, the feline struggling in her bonds again as it reached her. She felt the creature liquefy and ooze its way up her body slowly. "This is the third part of your demonstration." said the male standing and staring her in the eyes. The gel form of the creature began to thin, spreading over her body quickly. "No! Maneki! Help!" Luck shouted as she struggled, she genuinely frightened now. Maneki only closed her eyes as she tried not to watch what was happening before her. "That'll do you no good. She will not help you. You saw how afraid she was. You have no one to blame for this but yourself." he said sternly as the gel continued to spread over the cat's torso. Luck shivered as the gel spread over her crotch and moved around and up her ass cheeks. "Please...Stop this. I'm sorry." she said truthfully. "Oh I'm sure you are. But lessons need to be taught, and in this case, punishment needs to be given to show you who is in charge in this castle." he said as the gel moved up her neck. "Please...I surrender...I'll be good...I'll be..." she started as the substance overtook and stopped just over her mouth, cutting off her pleas. She could feel the gel as a kind of skin tight suit over her fur. She closed her eyes as she struggled against the gel, her words hampered by the creature itself. She stopped suddenly as she felt the gel move over her crotch. She squirmed and moaned as she felt the gel sliding into her crotch now, forming a semi hardened phallic object there. Just as she felt almost completely full, it stopped. She breathed heavily through her nose at the feeling before another movement caught her attention, and she whimpered at what she knew would follow.

Sly stood back next to Maneki and crossed his arms, he using his tail to turn her head to face her friend again. "Pay attention Kitty. This is just one of the things I can do to punish you. The creature doesn't eat solid food. Instead it absorbs liquid through its body. And although it survives on water, the juices of females are a rare treat where it lives. So it'll stimulate her relentlessly to get those juices. As you can see it's already entered her pussy. I'll bet from her increased squirming it's begun entering her tail hole as well." he explained.

Luck could feel stimulation from both of her lower holes at once, they both filled with phallic objects now. There was a soft suckling on her nipples as well, sending pleasure throughout her body, the rune symbol on her stomach glowing again. Suddenly she felt a pressing at her lips and knew what was happening. She shook her head and fought to keep her teeth clenched shut, but that proved useless as she could feel her jaws being pried apart, the third cock-like mass pressing into her mouth now. Luck hung her head. She was beaten, completely helpless. The cocks in her pussy and ass began to retract and thrust into her repeatedly, bringing more pleasure to her now. She looked at Sly and Maneki with a mixture of anger, sadness, and regret in her eyes. This is your punishment Luck. You will remain here, tied down and stimulated, unable to cum for the next twenty-four hours." he said, he walking to the side of the room and blowing out a candle. Luck's eyes widened at the prospect of being here like this for twenty-four hours and she tried to plead him to reconsider, it only coming out as soft moans and whimpers. The male continued to move around the room, blowing out candles as he went. "Come Kitty." he said as he picked up a leash from the table and attached it to her collar. "Yes Master." said the calico turning to follow the male. Sly turned and shot one last look in Luck's pleading eyes as he blew out the last candle next to the door before leaving. Luck looked at her friend as she turned to close the door behind them, the look on Maneki's face showed her that she was sorry. Luck knew she couldn't help her. And she didn't hold it against her. Her mind snapped back to her predicament as the cocks in her pussy and ass sped up their thrusting motions. The rune on her belly glowed faintly under the layer of gel, and Luck groaned as she felt herself pulled back away from another climax. This was going to be a long twenty-four hours.

Maneki walked briskly behind the male, following the leash attached to her collar. "I wonder...Do you hate me for what I just did Kitty?" he mused aloud more to himself than anything as they continued their walk. Maneki looked around as they went, and a stray thought crossed her mind that caused her to get a lump in her throat. She didn't recognize this area of the castle. He wasn't leading her to the room he'd let her sleep in before. "Wh-Where are we going Master?" she asked a little hesitantly. We are going to my chambers." he replied. "B-But what about me?" she asked, fearing the answer. "You will warm my bed tonight." he said simply as they turned to a room flanked by two guards. Maneki blushed as she realized that she was still naked in an armbinder, being led by a leash like a common pet. Sly said nothing more as the two guards opened the doors for them and allowed them entry to the large chamber. As the doors closed behind them, the implications of his words sank in. She was bound and, trapped in his room. There was nothing to stop him from taking advantage of her. She inched slowly as far back as the leash would allow before he stepped forward, toward the large bed. She could feel her heartbeat speeding up as she was tugged along. "Calm down. I'm not going to fuck you tonight." he said. The sheer bluntness of his words caught her off guard as he stopped, turning to look at her confused face. "Don't get me wrong. You belong to me now, and I WILL claim you as my property, but right now I want to savor the feeling of a plan coming together perfectly." he said with an almost smug smile. Maneki almost sneered at him as he sat down at the edge of the bed, but her expression turned to one of surprise as he gave her leash a firm pull, forcing her down to her knees before him. "That said... my obedient pet, I would like you to finish what you started earlier." he said, pointing down at his semi aroused cock. Maneki started to look up at him in protest, but she stopped herself when she remembered she really didn't have much of a choice in the matter. She sighed to herself as she felt him tug on her leash again, pulling her head a bit impatiently towards his dick. Her nimble feline tongue protruded from her small mouth and gave a few quick licks to his shaft. "There's a good girl." he said a minute later as she took the head of his member into her warm maw.

Minutes passed as Maneki moved to sucking off the male, her new master. She still couldn't believe what had happened in the course of a couple of days. Sly smiled down at her, and relished the look of bewildered defeat in her eyes. Maneki was his whether she knew it herself or not, and soon Luck would be too. He grasped the sides of her head and guided her rhythm to his liking again, pushing himself nearer to climax. "You've done well in pleasuring your Master Kitty. Your next task is to take care of my load and clean me off." he said as he stopped moving her head suddenly, holding her mouth fully hilted at his crotch. Maneki's eyes grew wide when she felt his cock begin to pulsate in her mouth, his cum coming out in spurts and filling the orifice quickly. She looked up at him and pleaded with her eyes, but his return sneer told her he was not going to show any mercy. "Swallow it all Kitty. I'm not letting go until you do." he said sternly. Maneki choked back a couple of tears, she had never had to do such an act before. She closed her eyes, tears sitting in the corners of her eyes as she took a big gulp of his cum. She sputtered and coughed as he slid his length out of her mouth after the second mouthful of his seed. She looked up at him in anger for a second before realizing that he was now pointing at his cum covered shaft. "Now be a good pet and clean it off." he said seriously. Luck's situation flashed through her mind as she remembered what he could do to her on a whim. She whimpered lightly as her expression changed instantly. "Y-Yes Master." she said as she leaned forward. She extended her tongue and took a lick of his black shaft, the semen sticking to her tongue as she dragged it across the length. "Good girl. You seem to have accepted your place even though you tend to forget sometimes." he said, patting her head softly and playing with her hair as she worked. "I understand you are angry that you were tricked, but what has happened has happened. Be thankful I did not kill you and that I am letting you live. Accept that you were outsmarted and take your new position in life with grace. There are far worse positions to be in." he said idly. Maneki couldn't think of a worse place or position to be in than she and Luck's current one, but she held her words and leaned back when she had cleaned his cock completely. "Good girl." he said, lifting under her chin and looking into her eyes. "You're very beautiful." he said softly. Maneki moved back a little from the look in his eyes. There was a hint of lust there that she didn't like. "Don't be afraid. I mean neither you nor Luck any harm. And hopefully sooner than later you will see that and accept the places I have offered to you. However if you continue to look at the glass as half empty for too long, my patience will run out and I'll have to show you just how empty the glass can get." he said seriously. Maneki swallowed audibly as the lustful look in his eyes changed to one of anger. He held all the cards in this scenario whether she liked it or not. "Do you understand Kitty?" he asked, closing his eyes and smiling at her suddenly. "Y...Yes Master..." she replied softly. "Good girl. Now I'm bushed. Time for bed." he said. Maneki was surprised when he moved the straps to the armbinder off of her shoulders, freeing her from the bondage device. She looked at him confused as he did so. "What? Did you think I was going to make you sleep in that thing? Do you have any idea how sore your arms would be after sleeping in an arm binder?" he asked as he unclipped the leash from her collar next. He was suddenly taken aback by the look in her eyes. There was relief of course, but mixed in with it was a look of longing, of disappointment, the flash of emotion was gone as she blinked a quick second later. "What was that? She's disappointed? Could it be that she liked being in bondage? Something she herself may not be aware of yet. If so I may have stumbled on a whole new way to control her." the male thought to himself as he coiled the leash and set it on the table next to the bed. "You may as well get some sleep. Tomorrow you will accompany me to an old collegue's castle." he said as he walked to the large window, opening it and letting the moonlight into the room before going and blowing out the candles around the room. Maneki watched him walk around and sat on the bed cautiously. He had said that he wouldn't fuck her, and aside from forcing her to suck him off it seemed he was going to stick to his word. A sort of calm washed over her as she realized how soft the sheets on his bed were. They were made of the silkiest cloth and as far as she knew, might have been enchanted to be even softer. She had never felt sheets so soft and inviting. "Is the softness of my bed surprising to you? Go on and lie down. Get some rest. You deserve it after tonight." said the male comfortingly. Maneki suddenly realized how exhausted she was both physically and mentally. Her head hit the pillow and instantly she felt a relaxing calm flow through her body. It was like lying on the fluffiest cloud ever. She had never lay in a bed so comfortable before in her life. She felt Sly slide into bed on the other side and rolled to face the opposite direction from him. She gasped as she felt him cuddle up behind her, holding her softly. Her breath quickened suddenly as she felt his breath play over her neck through her hair. "You don't need to be so tense. I told you that you'd be warming my bed tonight didn't I? Nothing else will happen to you in this bed tonight." he whispered assuringly to her. Maneki sighed as her fatigue began to pull her into unconsciousness, sleep taking over now. How had things taken this drastic of a turn? A few seconds could make or break a heist, a few days could change the course of a life. And hers and Luck's had certainly taken an unexpected turn. Her thoughts drifted here and there as she quickly fell into slumber.
