#3 of A Scaly Thief

The third in the series has Case finding a use for Sion's unusual attention towards him. Of course, it comes at its own price...but maybe it's not such a big price to pay?

It wasn't exactly the most enticing prospect in the entire world...but everyone had something for which they'd go to just about any length to make happen. That time was now for Case, and he knew what needed to be done.

He was situated well outside the seaside city, looking down at it from the vista above. From there, the object of his ire was scarcely a blip, yet it stuck out in his vision, taunting him with its presence, its impermeability to him. Had he the option, he would have acted alone, but some things were too big for him, and too risky to fail at. No, he needed something more, and he knew what that was...it was just a matter of getting it.

Which also turned out not to be particularly tricky. "Come out here, Sion, I know you're there already."

There was a moment's silence, before the green figure emerged from the bushes, looking slightly perplexed. "I must confess, Case, that I had no expectation of being discovered. How did you manage to determine my presence?"

"That's my secret." In truth, Case had no idea himself; all he knew was that he seemed preternaturally attuned to the presence of the reptile, able to discern when he was nearby even if he never saw Sion. He had no clue whether this had developed over time, or was there from the start - perhaps it was what had woken him up the first time Sion had graced his presence. "Besides, it's not like I haven't noticed you around on occasion. Just waiting for me to get into another scrape, I suppose?"

"Your presumptions wound me." Still, Case could see a tinge of color come to his face. Though he had no idea why or how, the Sceptile appeared to have a thing for him; ordinarily he would have preferred to leave it at that, but now circumstances had him hoping he could use that to his advantage. "It's simple curiosity, nothing more. Though I can see you're still rather unhappy about what happened last time."

"You try being happy after being gangbanged by EIGHT. GODDAMN. RHYDON."

"It's...not as if any harm came to you. Walking funny for a while, yes, but no damage." Despite his attempts to sound meek, Case could still see Sion was holding back laughter; he'd found the whole thing a lot more amusing than Case did. "Besides, I assure you I didn't intend for that to happen when I let that one...all jokes aside, that was a bit much."

"More than a bit..." Case took a deep breath, calming himself. "Anyway, I suppose that's all in the past, nothing can be done about it...what's important is now, and now, I have a job for you."

Sion cocked his head, one eyeridge raised. "Indeed? I would have thought you disapproving of what I do."

"Never said I wasn't. But I've got no other options. I've tried everything I could think of within the boundaries of the law, and I can't touch it. It's vital that this be set right, though, so I have to turn to someone who...considers himself an expert in the field."

"Well, as far as quality goes, you can hardly go much better. But pray, what do you have that is worth so much that you would go to such lengths? Apart from your Pokémon, and I clearly see all three at your belt."

"It's not mine."

This appeared to catch Sion off-guard. "Hm?"

"You're after a pendant. It's being held in a large house in the center of city, guarded by patrols of gang members. The scum behind it is Willard Fink, and the rightful owner of the pendant is Holly LeShoure, who's currently staying in the eastern sector. The pendant was her grandmother's, and the only heirloom she has. All I heard was that Fink ripped it off of her because according to him it's worth a quarter of a million dollars. To her the memories are worth much more than that. I ask for you to take it from Fink and get it to Holly, and then get her and her father onto the nearest mode of transportation out of the city, away from where Fink can get his hands on them."

"...How do you know this Holly person?"

Case shot Sion a glare. "I can't help someone just to help them out?"

"Sure you could, but your emotional investment in this matter suggests that there is a personal connection between the two of you which would inspire you to go to such lengths."

The lizard was too goddamned perceptive, in Case's opinion. "Holly is my sister...well, half-sister. Her father is my father, and her mother was a better person than mine ever was. Ever since her mother died, they've been struggling, while my mother sits on her fat ass shoving food into her mouth, refusing to even acknowledge that they exist. She even refused to give me any money when I first left because she wanted to make sure I didn't give it to them...just to spite my dead father, who was right to leave her in the first place."

"I see...a terrible state of affairs."

"That's a damned understatement. And I can never rest easy knowing that she or one of her goons might be coming up behind my back, trying to take me back there. She threatened it once, never knew if she was trying to do it or not but I don't put it past her. I'd much rather stay a wild human for good than ever set foot back in that damned house."

"I can see why. Very well, I have heard enough to know what to do, and of course I shall be able to do it. But before I do, we would have to settle the matter of payment."

"Not much to settle, is there?" Case huffed. "You already told me once I had nothing to offer you except myself. Well, that doesn't leave a lot of options, does it?"

"You're willing to accept that method of payment despite how the previous event went? You really must want this done. And exactly how long do you intend to offer yourself to me?"

"Hell if I know. This isn't exactly common for me, I don't know what's appropriate. But you're only getting anything if Holly gets her pendant back and gets out of town safely."

Sion nodded contemplatively. "I see...well, I'd normally be wary of such a stipulation, but considering the past, it's only fair to provide a bit of leeway to you. Very well, I will accept those terms, and have the job completed before the sun breaks three days from now. We'll discuss length after the job."

Case nodded. It was risky, giving Sion that much room to 'negotiate,' but he didn't want to get bogged down in details until they mattered. If Sion failed, after all... "I'll be staying here. I don't want to show myself down there again, in case I tip them off. It sounds like they're really serious about the whole business...I don't know what to tell you to expect, but I doubt they're just gonna go without some kind of fight."

"Very well, I shall take that into consideration. Until I return." Sion bowed and then darted off, leaving Case all on his own. He sighed and set up his small camp, knowing he would be getting little sleep until the reptile returned...provided he did.


The sun was descending over the horizon the second day after his deal when he had that sense of Sion's presence nearby again. He was watching the sunset over the water as the reptile came to him, sitting down beside him, a couple of items in his hands. His expression was odd; Case had expected the familiar cocky smirk, or at least something indicative of pride, but Sion seemed oddly subdued, and that had his concerns about the outcome bubbling to the surface.

But those were soon offered relief, and Sion finally spoke up. "It's done, and with success." He handed Case the contents of his hands, consisting of a few items folded in a piece of paper. "Obviously, I don't state this without proof."

Case looked them over. There were several pictures of Holly and her father, both in complete joy with the pendant safely with them. There was also one of them on a boat out of the city, going somewhere away from the creep that had taken the pendant in the first place. The paper was a letter from Holly, thanking him so profusely for helping them and wishing to see him again soon. He got a little choked up reading it, but fought it down, not wanting to show it to Sion. "Looks legit...all transactions aside, I...really do thank you, Sion. But I owe you what I promised...how did it go?"

Sion was silent for a moment. "I have been doing this for a long time...I have seen quite a variety of security for different objects. Sometimes the security seems inversely proportional to value...museums, for example, are ridiculously easy to pilfer. I don't do so, but I know the trade. And never, in my entire life, have I personally encountered such an insane level of security as around that little pendant!"

"Wh...seriously?" Case had known it was tough to get to the pendant - considering he'd made some efforts himself - but it hadn't seemed that ridiculous to him, not on the outside. Yet, given Sion's outburst, so uncharacteristic for the reptile, he couldn't imagine this was an exaggeration.

"Sensors of every kind, motion, heat, sound, pressure! Guards posted everywhere, human and Pokémon, equipped with gear designed to suss out even the most concealed individual! Traps within the building that are almost too ridiculous to be real! The man you spoke of has money to spare, whatever his intention with the pendant it wasn't for profit! No amount of stealth was sufficient to succeed, I had every ounce of skill and strength in my body tested to get through that gauntlet! It was without question the most harrowing experience of my entire life!"

Case winced. "That bad, huh?"

"Are you kidding? It was fantastic! You have no idea how many times I've had a job built up as a grand caper, only to find it has some depressingly mundane workaround or is simply the impression of an incompetent thief who doesn't know what he's doing! I've told you that I steal for the thrill, and rarely is there thrill without effort! I don't think I've felt so alive in all the years I've been on this land!"

It must have been that way, since Case had never seen the lizard so electrified before. Once again, he was reassured that Sion was completely crazy, but he wasn't about to complain now. "Glad you enjoyed it...but is someone gonna be coming after you now?"

"I would certainly hope not, but even if they decide to...well, I have no shortage of tricks ready for them! But I rather hope to have to face them down again in some fashion, if they're going to be this entertaining!"

"Riiiiiight...well, don't expect it to be at my behest, I'd rather have as little to do with them as possible from here on."

Sion chuckled at that, seeming to come down a bit from his high. "Oh, I daresay you would enjoy it yourself...but nevertheless, that's a matter for another time. As for now, I do believe I have a reward coming to me, and we need to settle on what exactly that is. Thanks to this rather incredible experience, it certainly won't require any sort of extreme compensation."

Considering that he was letting Sion screw him for an as-yet-undetermined length of time, Case wasn't sure what constituted extreme in the reptile's eyes. Nor did he know if he really wanted to. "Well, I'm glad to hear that...so what is it you want?"

"As to that...well, I have a...proposal." Sion rubbed under his chin, looking down rather scrutinizingly at Case. "My initial inclination, I should say, was three days in my service...or, I should rather say, 72 hours."

Case couldn't hold back a grin, partly in relief at the extent - it wasn't that much different from the last him he'd had a run-in with Sion - and at the clarification. "Awfully specific, don't you think?"

"When one deals mainly with con men, one learns to be quite specific about terms rather quickly," Sion replied with a sly smirk. "Not that I would think you would con me, but I like to maintain the habit. But on the other hand, I have a certain...desire I'd like to indulge. I've rather wanted to experience tying a partner down while working them over. Nothing complex or involved, just the use of vines and the world around us...that's the best way to enjoy things anyway, just the natural way. If you were to agree to that, I'd be more than willing to shorten the time requirement by a third. Thus I ask, what would you prefer?"

The proposition threw Case, and he needed a moment to even process it. He'd given the reptile the freedom to choose his own terms, and it would have been easy enough for him to just decide on a length of time and tie Case down as he wished. His willingness to provide Case with a choice seemed an odd way of using that power...though, without question, it also had the effect of making Case feel better about essentially having sold himself for the reptile's services. Like he still had some say in the whole thing...that was a lot less daunting than having none.

Still, this was Sion's reward, and he felt honor-bound to not force him into a compromise. It was clear he was more interested in the act than the length, and despite the fact that it would be him getting the full effect of that, it felt wrong to him to take advantage of that. "I appreciate the offer, Sion, but it's fine. You can have your 72 hours, bondage included."

For once he seemed to have Sion at a loss. "Are...you certain of this? I did offer the choice to you..."

"Yes, and I made my choice, even if it's a bit different from your offer. Don't worry, I wouldn't have made it if I didn't feel fine with it...you did something hugely important to me, and you were more than fair in your offer for compensation, so I'm perfectly happy to give a little extra for that."

Though Sion retained his composure, he could tell from the shine in his eyes that he'd really made the lizard's day.


It wasn't long before Case found himself naked on the grass in the middle of the woods, on his knees in front of Sion, the Sceptile sitting on a log in front of him. His hands were bound behind his back, tightly tied together with vines that he wasn't getting free from any time soon. Sion hadn't restricted anything else yet, but there were vines aplenty sitting to the side, indicating something else would be coming.

"I think I'd like to start with something that got interrupted last time we were in the same space," Sion said with a cheeky grin, leering down a bit at Case. He was really getting into this, especially with Case agreeing to it voluntarily - no concern about his willingness here. "This needs some particular attention, I think," he continued, pointing down to his erect staff, already dripping with anticipation.

Case was pretty sure he knew what was coming, and he was actually not that opposed to the idea. Without the added distraction of a horny Rhydon, he'd probably manage the act a lot easier. "What, I don't get to use my hands?" he asked, a bit teasingly.

"I should say not. This whole thing wants to be in your mouth, I think you owe it that much." Still cheeky as ever, but Case was finding himself minding less.

He shifted forward, getting himself properly close to Sion, his head nearly level with his target. There wasn't much in the way of prelude, he simply started in on the main event, taking the tip of the lizard cock into his mouth. The sweetness graced his tongue immediately, bolstering his motivation, and he steadily descended upon it, more of the shaft being enveloped by his mouth every second.

Still, by the time he got to the gag point, there was still plenty left. It would have been a lie to say he wasn't a bit daunted, remembering the trouble he had with it last time...but at least he could focus on overcoming that now. He took a deep breath and pushed down, fighting his natural urge as best he could, pulling back up when it threatened to overpower him. Just before he made his second go, he felt Sion's hand on his shoulder.

"Easy...take it slower, find the angle rather than trying to brute-force it."

Case couldn't really nod in his position, the only way he could show he heard was to act. He did just that, going in gradually the second time, adjusting himself whenever he felt that sensation in his throat, carefully working his way down. It came a bit, but with far less intensity, eased each time he shifted, and soon he found himself going more quickly as Sion's shaft slid down his throat without further resistance, head meeting the reptile's slit. There was an odd scent at that point, a mixture of the sweetness from before with a faint muskiness...still rather pleasant.

He pulled away a bit, before bobbing back down, getting a nice thrill from Sion. Slowly he worked that dick, giving him a slow but steady blowjob, a nice easy pace that he had no trouble with. He got his tongue into the act as well, rubbing around the underside of the cock as best as it could, providing some added sensation and a more robust taste.

He kept this up for a little bit, before he felt Sion's hands on the side of his head, suddenly interrupting him. The clawed hands gripped him tight, and before he knew it, Sion was thrusting, the cock sliding in and out without his volition, much more intense than his own pace. He wasn't totally ready for it, but without his hands he had no leverage, and was helpless to the whims of the Sceptile above him. However, he was no longer gagging, and the act soon proved to not be as daunting as he had expected. He simply continued to sweep his tongue around and tighten his throat, giving Sion all the pleasure he could in this fashion.

It didn't take too long for the Sceptile to reach his limit, his pants clearly showing his eagerness and closeness. He continued to thrust, harder and harder, until Case felt the cock pulse in his mouth, and felt a warmth trickle down deep into him. Barely a second later, Sion pulled back, and Case felt the fluid higher up until it was flooding his mouth, suffusing it with a salty sweetness as he scrambled to prepare for it, swallowing rapidly as it came through to him. The proliferation proved just short of too much, replacing what he took in but not adding to it, until he felt the shots taper off and relief inside his maw as he was able to empty it once again.

Sion sighed contently as he pulled out of Case's mouth, grinning down at his toy. "You seemed to rather enjoy that."

Case couldn't help but nod. "It's easier when you've got a pleasant taste," he replied, a bit hoarsely.

"Ah, that's the gift of being one of the Grass. I imagine it makes the going a lot smoother than with many others. Certainly, I wouldn't relish such things with a Poison-bearer...although they have ways of making you want it anyway."

"I'll take your word for it...do you always have that much in you, though? Felt like it wouldn't end for a bit there..."

A bit of a chuckle from the Sceptile. "I've been rather saving up, I suppose. Not intentionally, I would say, it's simply been a while. Since the caves, in fact."

"Since...wait, you haven't..."

"It wouldn't be the first dry spell I've had. Besides, look who's talking."

"I think I had my fill back then. More than."

"Perhaps so." Sion reached down and undid the vines around Case's wrists, freeing them up. Something Case was glad for, as his arms were getting a bit cramped.

"You're not gonna tell me we're done already?" he joked. "Letting me go this early, someone's not taking advantage."

"Oh, trust me, that was only step one. I'm more than ready to have my way with you, but in a different format."

"So I'll be tied down a different way, huh?"

"We'll be exploring several ways of immobilizing you before my time is up, I'm sure," Sion replied. "This...well, it's something I've wanted to try for a while now."

He brought Case over to a nearby tree, turning him so that he was resting his back against it. "Now, arms out behind you, against the tree, as straight as you can without making it uncomfortable."

"That'll be a trick." He complied anyway, holding his arms out dutifully, pretty sure he knew what was coming. Sure enough, he felt the presence of vine around his wrist again, soon followed by the other, tightly holding them in position so that he couldn't really shift them up or down, and certainly not away...they were almost but not quite held directly to the tree, and what little movement he had couldn't pull his arms away. Thankfully, the tree was fairly smooth, so the rubbing wasn't painful. But he knew that his arms were going nowhere.

Neither were his legs, as he soon discovered; his ankle was grabbed, and a vine looped around it before it was tied to the tree, keeping his leg splayed out, though still on the ground supporting his weight. The other one followed quickly, forcing him to be wide open. Sion would have free access to him...as would anyone else who came along. That thought sent a shiver through him, he wasn't sure if it was excitement or fear.

Before Sion was done, he used one last vine to bind his chest to the tree, not enough to limit his breathing but enough to keep him from sliding down due to the awkward position of his legs. As he stepped back to admire his handiwork, Case could see his cock returning to full firmness...and realized his own was doing the same, jutting out in front of himself lewdly. "Ah, nice...this is as appealing as I envisioned. I hope you're comfortable, because you're staying there for a bit."

"Comfortable as I'll get, anyway."

"Excellent. Don't worry, I'll make sure you have other things on your mind besides the awkward position." The Sceptile stepped forward, getting right up against Case's body, his breath warm on the bound human's neck as he lined himself up. "And the perfect height, too...that'll make things as fun as they can get."

The only warning he had was the feeling of that cocktip prodding at his hole, slick from his pre and from Case's mouth just before. It felt eerily reminiscent of their first encounter, and suddenly a part of him wanted Sion to replicate the intensity and force of that time, make him feel it all over again. As if reading his mind, that was exactly was Sion did, swiftly burying his whole length into Case, getting a cry from him but not one of pain or discomfort. The Sceptile gripped the tree tight as he bucked in, pulled out, displaying the speed and strength of a wild Pokémon to the finest degree. He was rough, fast, claiming Case without any preparation or adjustment, and both of them were loving it. The lack of action since the caves had ensured Case's tightness but hadn't affected his ability to handle it at all.

He felt himself straining against his bonds a bit, unable to keep himself from squirming as he felt that thick cock piston in and out of him. Sion seemed to be enjoying that, feeling his movements through the contact of their bodies, not trying to stop it in the slightest. It was incredible, the force every bit the same as the first time but something about it was different, somehow better than ever. Maybe it was that they were upright and Sion was slamming in in a way he'd never anticipated, touching every hot spot his body had...or maybe it was because he'd gone into this knowing and expecting it, and his body was simply primed for the action.

Whatever the case, it led him to shoot off rapidly, his body tightening as he emptied himself mostly onto Sion, his white fluid making a mess against the Sceptile's stomach. Still Sion kept going, powering through the renewed tightening, his cock forcefully spreading that hole like it was made for that purpose alone. It made sure to keep Case hot, not letting his orgasm take him out of the game.

The second bout was lasting considerably longer than the first, and Sion had no qualms about mixing it up with his immobile partner. One hand went from gripping the tree to toying with Case's nipples, getting moans out of the human as his claw stroked around those nubs, getting them as nice and stiff as the rest of him. Then he applied little nips and licks to Case's neck and collarbone, sending shivers through him and making him tighten again around his ravaging cock. All these little points of pleasure and enjoyment were immediately tucked into his mind, every one he found being a new target for him for the next round...he would make sure, in no uncertain terms, that Case enjoyed as much of his agreed-upon subjugation as Sion could make possible.

Finally he felt his body tensing up again, ready for release once more. He went back to his original position and put as much energy as he could into it, getting louder cries out of case as he was ruthlessly hammered, his worn-out cock forced back close to its breaking point. Sion didn't wait for him, he felt himself go over the edge and drove it, scattering his seed deep into the human as he now gripped him tight, claws digging in a bit to Case's arm. As his climax washed over him, he grabbed Case's dick and jerked it roughly, not letting him go unrewarded due to his own limitations. Just a few extra seconds of that treatment did the trick as Case lost it again, shooting his weaker second load into Sion's stomach and hand, body once again tightening around him and making the most of Sion's orgasm, draining him of everything he had.

Both were panting hard as they stayed there, worn out but so delightfully satisfied, needing some time in the afterglow before anything else could happen. After a couple minutes, Sion fond the energy to pull himself out, holding himself up with an arm on the tree. "Goodness...that was the best I've had in memory..."

Case couldn't really respond, too out of breath, but he gave a slight nod of agreement. He watched as Sion licked his offering off of his fingers, grinning as his tongue drew it into his mouth. "I should say, you don't taste bad yourself...quite worth another taste, without question."

"Glad...you think so..." Case squirmed a bit, the exhaustion from their sex was starting to amplify the fatigue in his muscles from his position. "Can you...get me down, now?"

"Ah, yes, of course." Sion wasn't quite as swift about it as Case would've hoped, but he eventually cut the vines holding him to the tree, freeing his legs first and then his arms from the lengths of the bonds, allowing him to lay down on the ground and rest himself. Though, Case noticed as he was rubbing his sore body, he left the parts wrapped around his wrists and ankles intact.

"Am I getting these off any time soon?"

Sion chuckled as he joined Case, laying next to him with his arm wrapped around him. "I think they'll make convenient accessories while you're serving me these next few days. All the easier to tie you in new and exciting positions."

"Mm...can't wait." Tired as he was, he wasn't quite in position to be overly enthusiastic about the idea...when he woke up, maybe it would be better.
