Westrons Pt. 26

I may have gargled something unintelligible. As much as I wanted to strangle her, to choke the life out of her, I knew very well that if she released me, my first act would be to fuck her. Her hemmer was that powerful.

- "I made a mistake, that night." said Iloni. She gently raked my naked thigh with her fingernails.

"I should have stuck to my original plan. Instead, I allowed myself to be convinced by General Vis. The whole affair with Krayt was foolish."

"Though, I must admit that the outcome - your duel with Berandot - was very stimulating. That was one of the best parties, ever."

"I was very disappointed, though, when you wouldn't accept my invitations."

"I was in hemmer, you know. Oh, Cook, if only we'd come together then. We could have ruled the whole Kingdom, between us."

She gently caressed my balls.

"Just imagine it: you and I. Of course, there's so much that I would have to teach you. Berandot may be more naive than you are, but you still have a great deal to learn."

That was equivalent to throwing a bucketful of ice water over my naked body. Berandot - more naive than I was? That was exactly what I'd said to her, earlier today.

My mind suddenly cleared. For a brief moment, I was able to think.

- "You ... you heard?" I got out.

Iloni stopped stroking my balls.

- "Oh, Cook. You really do need my help. Did you not know that Aneli had her dining room equipped with listening tubes? The chandelier directly above your head was hollow. We sat in the room upstairs, and listened to every word."

My testicles might have shrunk a bit, at that point.

"We were sadly disappointed in Berandot. Her 'killer instinct' seems to have completely vanished. On the positive side, that may mean that we can keep you - once you've realized where your true instincts lie."

Her fingers curled around my erection. She softly stroked me, up and down.

- "Oh, what partners we'll make." said Iloni. "Just imagine what a child of ours could do."

My mind recoiled at that thought. A child? How could I kill Iloni, if she was pregnant with my child?

Iloni turned her head, to smile at me.

"Would you like it, if I used my mouth ...?" She dipped her head, and I felt her hot breath on the very tip of erection.

Then she pulled back.

Very slowly, very deliberately, Iloni stood up. She picked up the knife she'd left on the night table.

Then she sat back down on the edge of the bed.

- "I was very hurt, you know, when you declined my invitations." she said. "At first, I thought that your hybrid lovers had intercepted my messages to you. I was afraid that you didn't really understand how interested I was in you."

"But then I realized that you were avoiding me. Were you afraid of me, Cook? Of the power of my hemmer?"

"Or did Kanitz warn you to stay away from me?"

She licked her lips.

But she held a knife.
