                                    ~~~                                    

   Debby fiddled with the stem of her wine glass as Pax smiled at her. They
sat on her beat-up couch, in her downtown apartment. The stubble on his 
chin caught the moon light as it filtered in through the window blinds. His
eyes were dark, like coals waiting for the fire.

   "I had a good time tonight," he said in his deep reverberant voice, like
stone against stone.

   "So," said Debby, mouth dry, "so did I."

   He set his empty wine glass on the coffee table with a ringing chime. 
Debby started, heart beating fast. Her eyes flicked about the room, as if 
searching for a way out. There was no way out.

   He leaned forward, the weight of his presence pressing against her. His 
breath was hot and spiced. His eyes caught and held her.

   The world froze. In that timeless moment, he reached forward and plucked
the glass from her trembling hand. The lingering remains of the fizzy white
swished and bubbled. Her fingers tingled where the stem no longer was.

   He kissed her, commanding lips pushing into hers. She yielded back, 
surrendering. The plundering kiss took all she could give and then took 
more. Sickly excitement boiled in her stomach. Her flesh burned. She wanted
his touch. She wanted to push him away.

   His hands found hers and their fingers laced. He bore down, the full 
weight of his powerful body against her. She felt the throbbing hardness of
his penis against her stomach. He wanted her. He needed her. He would take 
her.  He would-

   Red.

   She screamed and shoved him away but they were tangled tight. Together 
they crashed from the sofa and slammed against the ground. Debby hit the 
floor back first and cracked her head against the hardwood boards. Pax 
fared better, coming down on his side.

   For a long moment Debby lay paralyzed, emotional and physical pain 
somehow balancing out to leave her num. Then she caught Pax's eyes, so full
of concern, and the former swept to dominance. She started to cry, hard 
racking sobs which shook her body.

   Pax leapt to action. He untangled their bodies and guided Debby back to 
the sofa. There he held her tight, powerful arms trying to comfort her.

   "Shu," he said, "it's alright. Here, let me see. You're not hurt are 
you?"

   Debby shook her head, the motion rapid and violent as tears stung her 
eyes. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry," she said. "I just couldn't. Couldn't."

   Pax didn't miss a beat. "We don't have to do anything you don't want 
to," he said and placed his large hard hands over hers.

   "But I do want to!" said Debby and collapsed into a renewed weeping fit.
"I do. I do. The Goddess says we should relish the pleasure of our bodies 
and the bodies of others. I want to share. I want to be good. But I can't. 
I just panic!"

   Pax kept his firm grip on Debby's hands until her tears dried up. She 
sent him a smile and pulled her hands free.

   "You should go," she said.

   "I don't have too," he said. "I can stay. We can talk."

   Debby shook her head, eyes puffy and red. "No. Please. I can't face this
now."

   He smiled, patted the back of her hands and stood. Tall, dark and 
handsome, he towered high and Debby felt the same queasy mix of red panic 
and excitement stir within her. It made her want to cry all over again. He 
left through the door. It sounded like a closing portcullis as it shut 
behind him.

                                    ~~~                                    

   Debby spent the remainder of the evening huddled on her couch, guzzling 
ice-cream and watching a Best Of The Bachelor marathon. Currently on was 
episode 7 of season 4. The seven remaining contestants were dashing about a
muddy field, trying to throw silver bridles over a proud male unicorn.  The
winner would get a one-on-one carriage ride date with the devilishly hansom
Aaron Firestone, so they were trying hard. Unfortunately the unicorn was 
having none of it. Whenever a contestant came close, he would dash or 
prance away.

   As she watched, ex-model Bitterwind and girl-next-door Jessica joined 
forces to force the unicorn back into a corner of the corral. It lowered 
and flashed its long horn. At the last moment Bitterwind kicked the back of
Jessica's knee and sent her sprawling to the ground, where stirred up earth
ruined her cowgirl costume and covered her face with sticky mud. Bitterwind
then leapt forward, bridle ready to slip home.

   Debby missed the conclusion when the door of the apartment opened and 
her flatmate, Ryn, arrived home. She took one look at Debby and knew at 
once what had happened.

   "Oh Debby," she said. "Come here." She let go her Green Leaf original 
handbag, kicked off her black high heels and dropped onto the sofa next to 
her friend. She pulled Debby tight into her shoulder and Debby started 
sobbing anew.

   "I thought I could do it this time," she said.

   "I know, I know," said Ryn.

   "I thought if I really wanted it. I thought if it was him."

   "Shush," said Ryn. "You don’t need to do anything."

   There were those words again. Debby shook off her friend’s grip and 
pulled back, kindling anger burning away some of the sorrow. "That’s easy 
for you to say. You don’t have a problem accepting the Goddess’s gift." She
stabbed a finger at Ryn’s exposed wrist, where sat two knotted rings of 
achievement tattoos. Each link was unique and each represented a festival 
held in the Goddess's honour. Debby had tried to attend such events, of 
course she had, but the sex there was as impossible as sex anywhere else.

   "The Goddess calls us all in our own ways," said Ryn.

   "But I don’t want to be called in this way. I want to be called like 
everyone else!" She shouted the last word and it left her throat hollow.

   Ryn leaned forward and stroked a stray lock of hair out of Debby’s face.
It had fallen loose in her anger. Debby sniffed and flicked her button 
nose.

   "If you feel that strongly, there are ways," she Ryn. "You’ve heard of 
the Binding?"

   Debby’s heart made a sudden panicked beat. Everyone had heard of the 
Binding, but it was the stuff of romantic TV and romance novels. The 
unenlightened virginal princess from the barbarian hinterlands who finds 
herself in the realm of civilisation and her dark, dangerous lover who 
breaks her false morality.

   She licked her lips, tasting salt. "That happens?" she said. "Really 
happens?"

   Ryn nodded. "Not often but, yes. I saw it once." She pulled her sleeve 
back from her wrist and pointed at a link – a complex knot reminiscent of 
braided plants. "This was the third commemorative garden festival, in New 
Tree. She was there with her bond holder, naked on her knees, sucking off 
anyone who approached her." Ryn smiled and rolled her hips. "The look on 
her face – the mix of lust and hopelessness. Man after man. Woman after 
woman. They came to her and she took each in turn."

   "I," said Debby but her voice failed her.

   "Is that what you want?" said Ryn and leaned forward, a raven glaring 
down at a strange fluffy creature.

   Debby couldn’t say a word. Ryn captured her chin with a manicured finger
and turned her face so their eyes met. "Do you want this. Really?"

   "Yes," Debby breathed.

   Ryn’s eyes blazed.

                                    ~~~                                    

   Debby slept fitfully that night – her mind full of red dreams. She saw 
the Binding and what it would mean.  Could she accept such a thing? Of 
course she couldn't. Of course she could.

   Morning light banished the fleeting erotic phantasms but not the result.
Her sex blazed with barely restrained need. She reached down, hands gliding
across her soft skin. Her fingers slipped under her panties and to her hot,
wet folds. It felt like touching a live wire.

   "Goddess," she whispered and bucked her hips. She toyed with her folds, 
fingers dancing in a pattern refined by years of practice. The 
ministrations created a buzzing pressure in her soul. With a slick thumb 
she brushed her clit. A bolt of frozen lightning shot through her, so 
intense it hurt. The pressure ruptured and maelstrom of sensation boiled 
through her.

   It was pain. It was pleasure. It was both together and neither apart. 
Tears stung her eyes even as she wanted to touched herself again, to 
prolong or renew what she had just felt. She didn't, though. She just rode 
the monsters, the frightful red beast.

   After long seconds she collapsed back onto her bed, boneless against the
matrass and soft pillows.

   She raised her hands. The morning light glittered golden off her womanly
juices. Heart racing with forbidden thrill, she sucked on her index finger.
It tasted tart and taboo.

                                    ~~~                                    

   They left the apartment and took the lift down to the ground floor. The 
metal box rumbled and Debby fidgeted next to Ryn. Ryn appeared completely 
unfazed, a raven queen surveying her kingdom.

   The doorman nodded to them as they walked out the apartment block’s main
doors.

   "Morning, Ladies," he said and tipped his tricorn cap.

   "Morning, Frank," said Ryn. Debby didn't reply, her mind too focused on 
other things.

   The street was busy with people – men in suits and women in dresses 
hurrying in all directions. Yellow taxi cabs filled the road, a constant 
stream of pickups, putdowns and travel.

   The Goddess’s temple was located in the old city heart, a few miles away
from the current city centre and Debby’s apartment. Debby and Ryn walked 
the short distance to the monorail station. Debby’s hands shook as she 
tried to find the coins but Ryn brushed her aside and paid.

   The sleek modern train whooshed as it ran between towering modern sky 
scrapers of glass and older wizard towers of stone. Both flashed passed the
window, gone as soon as they came.

   "Now approaching the Goddess’s Grove," said the artificial voice of the 
announcer. Debby’s heart started to race. The train slowed and came to a 
complete halt. She stumbled and half fell against the man in front of her. 
He sent her an annoyed look and she muttered an apology though even only a 
moment later she couldn't have said precisely what words she had used.

   The Goddess’s Grove held the Goddess’s temple. All cities had one, as 
did most towns. They were oases of green in the glass, steel and stone of a
modern city.

   Debby and Ryn exited the train and climbed down the carved stone station
steps to the grove proper. Both wore sensible flats but Debby took the 
steps slowly, as if walking on the highest of formal heels.

   Stone lions guarded the exit and Debby touched the nose of the one 
closeted to her. The stone was cold and warn smooth by thousands of 
commuters doing the exact same thing.

   The outskirts of the Grove were managed as a city park – landscaped 
green grass, sculpted trees, towering hyper-ferns, benches for picnics and 
the like. Two teenage girls played Frisbee in a large open space. An 
elderly couple walked their equally ancient emerald fire drake, the bright 
green of its scales now dull brown in places. Under the leafy bows of a 
tree, a university student bobbed up and down on her boyfriend’s cock, the 
stiff organ disappearing into her mouth ever few seconds.

   The core was different. The trees grew older, darker, denser and wilder.
A bird screamed from the forbidding depths.

   Ryn took Debby’s hand and squeezed. "Are you sure you want to do this?" 
she asked, Debby’s flatmate and friend through and though. "Really sure?"

   Did Debby? Of course she did. Of course she didn’t. She walked forward.

   The winding path led through the core. The trees cast long shadows and 
the thick canopy kept back even the bright light of midday.

   The temple stood at the heart of the wild green place. It was built into
an old earthy hill and the entrance way was made from great grey slaps of 
stone, propped so they leant against each other and created a rude but 
almost otherworldly passage. Moss clung to the slaps on the windward side 
and thorn covered creepers hugged to it all over.

   Two monstrous statues guarded the temple – Gog and Magog, the husband-
sons of the Goddess. Curved oversized cocks erupted from their crotches, 
topped with bulbous stone heads. The members seemed too big for any woman 
but the Goddess’s priestesses were no ordinary women. Naked priestesses 
slowly lowered themselves down onto each cock, up and down, up and down, 
their cunts accepting the gifts even as their faces showed mixtures of 
pleasure and pain. Sweat glistened on their toned bodies and ran down large
perfectly formed breasts.

   "Oh Goddess!" cried Gog’s rider, her body shaking and twitching as an 
orgasm swept through her.

   "Think that will be you?" whispered Ryn into Debby’s ear and giggled. 
Debby shivered.

   The high priestess met them at the threshold of the temple. She was a 
regal woman of middle age but refined beauty. Hair the colour of beaten 
copper fell down her back in a wave and her skin was smooth like cream 
silk, save around her eyes. She wore a strange garment made from a single 
length of green cloth, wrapped around her body such that her nude sex and 
left breast were bare.

   "Greeting, Sisters," she said. "How can the Goddess help you?"

   "I," said Debby and stalled. The red dreams of the night welled up, as 
terrifying as sex ever had been. Her heart hammered. Pax stood over her 
like a giant of old, his penis out and so very, very hard. Thick veins 
lined its length. A drop of clear liquid hung from the tip. He-

   Rye stepped up behind Debby and placed her hands on her friend's 
shoulders. The touch sunk like anaesthetic into Debby's flesh and she took 
a gasping breath. "The Binding," she said, fast, before she could think 
better of it. "I want the Binding so I can better serve the Goddess."

   "It is a large thing to ask, Sister," said the high priestess in a low 
tranquil voice. "We must all serve the Goddess in our own ways."

   "But you can do it?" said Debby.

   "The Binding is performed." The high priestess nodded slowly. "But only 
if we truly believe it will help."

   "Please." The longing was clear in her voice. "I want this. I need this.
I just want to be like everyone else, to be happy and serve the Goddess."

   The high priestess stood still and silent for several long seconds. At 
last she nodded. "We will consider you for the Binding. Come into the 
temple. We will ensure you understand what you ask and the consequences to 
you. You must come alone."

   Debby followed the high priestess into the dark temple. At the last 
moment she looked over her shoulder a Ryn. Ryn smiled and motioned her 
forward. Debby went inside.

                                    ~~~                                    

   The temple was warm inside and smelt of thick oils, sweat and herds. 
Sexual moans and rhythmic beats echoed from deep corridors. Light came from
flickering braziers.

   "You will be tested in the inner sanctum," said the high priestess, 
"before the sight of the Goddess herself."

   "Test?" said Debby and bit her lip. She hadn't prepared or revised. She 
didn't even know what the test would cover.

   "Fear not," said the high priestess. "This is not a test of knowledge 
but of heart."

   They walked deeper into the temple, the walls dark and tight like a 
stone womb. Finally they came to a wide open place. A giant statue of the 
Goddess dominated, carved by skilled masons from white stone. She stood 
naked and regal, her great breasts bared, her pregnant stomach on display, 
the lips of her sex carved in perfect detail. Even in stone, her eyes 
showed the great compassion for which she was famed.

   Before the statue sat an altar and from above that descended a shaft of 
light. It caught every spinning dust mote, making the very air seem alive.

   "Stand before the Goddess, Sister," said the high priestess.

   Debby swallowed but walked forward, her knees unsteady and legs weak. 
This was a high holy site, a place where the Goddess's grace touched the 
world. She hadn't been somewhere as hallowed since her school days.

   She reached the altar, stood in the light and looked up at the Goddess’s
face. Despite the covering of stone, she knew the Goddess looked back at 
her.

   "What do you seek?" said the high priestess from behind Debby. Her bare 
feet padded against the earthy floor.

   "The Binding," said Debby. It was hard but she kept her attention on the
Goddess; She was the judge here, as in all things.

   "And you understand what you seek?"

   That question was worse. Far, far worse. Her mouth was dry but she 
forced herself to answer. "Yes," she said. The Goddess gazed down, face 
petrified in judgment.

   "What do you seek?" The words echoed around the room, no longer just 
from the high priestess but from everywhere.

   "You will take and own me," said Debby in a whisper. "You will command 
me until I learn to serve the Goddess better."

   "And do you surrender to this fate, fully, voluntarily and with 
knowledge of what your sacrifice will entail?" The words came from the 
Goddess. Her lips didn’t move, her stone skin didn’t fall away but she 
spoke all the same.

   Debby heard a second sentence too, one heard with her soul rather than 
her ears. 'Do you commit yourself to better serving Me?'

   "Yes," she said and the word left her lips like a falling red weight.

   'Then let it be so, Daughter.'

   The high priestess slipped a strange collar of braided leather thongs 
around Debby’s neck and clicked the lock shut. It felt tight, a constant 
reminder of terrifying things.

   "It is done, Sister. Turn and kneel."

   The collar chilled and Debby found herself turning. She hadn’t meant to.
The words hadn’t even fully registered. But she did so all the same. She 
completed her rotation and dropped to her knees, jeans tight against her 
legs. From the ground she looked up into the now stern face of the high 
priestess.

   "I am your Bond holder," she said. "While I hold your Bond, the Binding 
and your collar will force you to obey me. When I give it to others, you 
shall obey them too."

   Debby’s heart beat hard and her chest tightened. The high priestess 
could order her to do anything, even have sex right there on the temple 
floor and she’d have no choice. The red wouldn’t stop her. A cock could 
plunge straight into her cunt and she’d finally be free. Free or destroyed.

   The high priestess didn’t give the command, however. Instead she 
continued speaking. "I shall undertake the spiritual aspects of your 
training, but I am not best set to teach the physical. To that I will give 
you to another. Bice, come meet your charge."

   A man stepped into Debby’s line of vision. He was tall and wide 
shouldered. His broad chest was bare and shaved, showing only powerful 
muscles, oiled bronze skin and twisting red tattoos, so dark they were 
almost black. His only clothes were leather trousers, which clung to his 
legs and hinted at his crotch. Would this be the man to finally take her?

   The high priestess touched Bice’s shoulder and Debby felt her collar 
stir.

   "I have given him your Bond," said the high priestess. "Tonight he will 
instruct you. Tomorrow we will speak again, after I have communed with the 
Goddess on your path."

   The high priestess retreated and Bice advanced. His looked down at her 
with dark amber eyes, somehow at once judging and indifferent. Debby 
shifted how she knelt, raising her chest and straightening her back. Blood 
pounded in her veins. Was this it?

   "Strip," said Brice, the word oddly high and melodious for such a large 
imposing man.

   The collar grew cold. Debby stripped. She didn’t even need to think.

   Off went the wool sweater and her pink t-shirt. She slipped off her 
flats, socks and then struggled out of her tight jeans. The clothes went in
an untidy pile beside her, for all that they represented a small fortune. 
That left her in her underwear, just bra and panties. Fingers buzzing as if
filled with static electricity, she reached back and unclipped her bra. The
cups fell away, revealing her breasts to the warm air.

   Bice barely glanced. He just met her eyes with his cold amber gaze and 
Debby blushed anew. She knew her breasts weren’t as shapely as a glamor 
models or TV-stars but they were large and firm. Men often seemed 
interested, even if she always spoiled everything before the main event.

   Feeling almost sick, she tucked her thumbs into the waistband of her 
panties and drew them down. The cotton swished as it moved down her thin, 
shaved legs and she set them aside. Completely naked, she looked to Bice 
for approval.

   "Present yourself," he said. "Kneel upright. Hands joined behind your 
head."

   Part of Debby wanted to object, but she had no choice. Her tongue froze 
in her mouth and she moved on her own.

   She knelt as Bice instructed, straight and formal, chest bared and 
vulnerable for all to see. Bice reached forward and ran the back of his 
hand across her left breast. The skin tingled and puckered, as if chilled 
by a sudden wind.

   "This is called attention position. Remember this."

   Debby nodded.

   "You will follow," he said and turned. "Crawl."

   Crawl? Like a dog? Debby blushed, blood rushing to her cheeks, ears and 
neck.

   Bice walked away, ass tight in his leather trousers, and Debby had no 
choice but to follow. Collar cold around her neck, she scampered after on 
knees and hands. The earthy floor was hard but not enough to graze her 
skin.

   Bice led her through the crude stone corridor of the temple. 
Occasionally she’d catch site of a priest or priestess and their eyes would
run along her naked body. Her nipples tightened each time and she shivered 
as a raven haired temptress stared at her like a hunting bird looking at a 
particularly small and fuzzy prey animal.

   Finally he walked into a small room. Debby followed. There was no door 
in the wall, just a frame made from three stones propped against each 
other. A fire burnt in a pit at the centre of the room, like the Winter 
Bonfires used to keep the Goddess warm during her annual slumber. Thick 
black smoke gathered at the ceiling, where it slowly exited through a small
hole. A small swatch of blue sky glimmered there.

   "We will practice positions," said Bice. "I will explain each, name it 
and you shall perform it when instructed."

   And practice they did. Bice instructed Debby in Bow, which left her 
chest pressed against the ground, her ass in the air; Spread, which had her
sit with her legs stretched wide, her sex pulled open so any invading eye 
could see her most intimate fold; Standing, which had her standing as tall 
and straight as she could; and many others. He made her practice each in 
turn, and then in combinations.

   As the light disappeared from the small smoke hole, he moved onto 
different pursuits. He produced a leash, like what one might use to lead a 
dog or a shadow cat, and clipped it to her collar. Her face burned anew at 
what it represented.

   "Follow," he said. "Crawl."

   Debby followed Bice on her lead around and around the bonfire in a tight
circle. The heat from the fire scolded the right-hand side of her body 
while the night cold of the walls chilled the left. The walls must have 
been near the edge of the mound for they had grown cold quickly as the sun 
vanished. She kept going, on and on, knee after knee, hand after hand. The 
ground tore at her knees and they were soon scuffed and red. Her hands, 
unused to much more than clerical work, grew sore and stiff. Grime gathered
on her normally clean and smooth skin – sweat, mud and smoke from the fire.

   Bice seemed immune to her ills. He walked forward, step after step, 
ignoring the fact that he led a naked woman by a leash. The smoke added the
to the oily bronze of his skin, but while it made her looked scraggy and 
ill-kempt, it made him look like a hero of old.

   Finally he stopped and turned. The light of the fire made his tattoos 
dance. "Attention position."

   Debby blanked for a moment but the collar chilled and her body knew what
to do even if her mind did not. She drew herself up on her knees, back 
straight, breasts out and hands behind her head. Exhausted, she swayed as 
she tried to hold the pose, and her grubby breasts wobbled.

   "You may rest here tonight," he said and pointed to the back of the 
room. "Someone will be with you in the morning."

   "Yes sir," said Debby, her throat hoarse.

   He unclipped the leash from her collar and turned to leave.

   "Sir?" said Debby, heart thumping.

   He paused but didn’t turn.

   "Sir," she said again. "When? I mean when will we, you know?"

   He still didn’t turn but he did speak. "When I think you are ready." 
With those words he left the small, doorless room. Debby huddled next to 
the fire and got what sleep she could.

                                    ~~~                                    

   "Wake up, Sister."

   Debby started awake and looked up into the regal face of the high 
priestess. She sat frozen and dumb for several long seconds before her 
situation came crashing back. The Binding, the collar, the Bond, her own 
promises and Bice’s training. Oh, Goddess, had this really been a good 
idea? The future seemed terrifying and red.

   "I have communed with the Goddess," said the high priestess, her eyes 
almost otherworldly as she stood above Debby. "She has revealed much of 
what drove you to us. Are you enjoying your stay with us?"

   "No, high priestess," said Debby’s fickle, traitorous tongue as her 
collar grew cold. "The walls are cold and the fire is hot. And there is no 
blanket." She drew herself up into a respectful kneeling position, breasts 
bared to the beautiful redhead and hands folded in her lap. As she did, she
glanced at the smoke hole. What time was it? Only dark night sky showed.

   The high priestess nodded. "That is true but you are here to better 
serve the Goddess. This will help you learn. Masturbate for me."

   The command came almost from nowhere, so shocking that Debby didn’t move
even as her collar grew freezing cold. Masturbation was private; it was 
personal; it was the very opposite of what she’d accepted the Binding to 
achieve. She’d come here to learn to share her body with others and take 
pleasure in theirs in turn. This was nothing like that. Even such surprise 
couldn’t stall the Binding forever, however.

   She shook as her body started to move. Her fingers reached her sex and 
found it warm and wet. The dry heat of the fire warred with the wet pulsing
heat of her blood. She ran her fingers along her lips and around her clit 
hood. Her clit buzzed, almost electric, and far too sensitive to touch. She
squeezed her eyes shut and just concentrated on her self-pleasure.

   She called up images of Pax into her mind’s eye, so tall, dark and 
masculine. He towered over her, ready to take her in his strong but careful
hands and claim everything she so desperately wanted to offer. The red of 
panic flickered around the edges of the vision but she kept it at bay.

   Pax withdrew his cock from his tailored suit trousers. It was long and 
thick and perfectly formed. Its head glimmered, already wet and so dark it 
looked purple. She looked back up at Pax’s face but he wasn’t Pax anymore. 
It was Bice, rougher of feature as it chipped from stone. He looked down 
impassively at her, judging her in his silent way.

   "Look at me."

   The command cut through Debby’s fantasy and her eyes shot open. She 
locked gazes with the high priestess, the other woman’s powerful green eyes
terribly invasive. In that moment she came.

   The orgasm rolled through her like a wave. It swept away her dikes of 
self-control and her dams of self-restraint. The priestess’s eyes raped her
very being with a terrible red intimacy. Debby screamed out her pleasure 
until there was nothing left, leaving her drained and hollow. She fell to 
the ground, sobbing and twitching.

   The high priestess stood silent and watchful for long moments before 
leaving her alone.

                                    ~~~                                    

   Bice came the next morning, as suddenly as the high priestess had during
the night.

   "You may wear these," he said and threw down two items of clothing: a 
short shirt made from leather slats and a tube-top, little more than a band
of cloth to go around her breasts.

   Debby picked up the top and weighed the flimsy fabric. Then she noticed 
her collar wasn't growing cold. This wasn’t a command. If she put the 
clothes on it would be of her own will.

   She looked up at the cold face of Bice, back down at the clothes and 
pulled them on. Once she was dressed, if indeed you could call her current 
state such, Bice reached forward and clipped her leash to her collar. The 
weight tugged at her neck, not a lot but enough that she would never forget
it was there.

   "You will follow two paces behind," said Bice. "Walk, do not crawl."

   The command made her collar chill, but that was nothing to the blood 
which flushed to her face. She remembered the night before and the long 
subhuman crawl to which she'd been set. Her clit buzzed and she blushed all
the harder. To think her life was such that to walk not crawl needed to be 
specified.

   The temple was quiet as Bice led her from her small room. The only 
sounds were the crackle of burning braziers, Bice's confident footfalls and
the pitter-patter of her own feet as she struggled to keep up.

   They reached the entrance where the propped stone slabs created the 
eerie gateway. Morning light shone from outside and Debby blinked, 
scrunched her eyes and shaded her face. Bice didn't let her stop. He tugged
her leash in wordless command and led her out.

   The dark wild woods sprawled in all directions, full of old gnarled 
trees and tangled plants. Birds cried out from the depths, loud and shrill,
and small animals scurried. The monstrous statues of Mog and Magog stood 
alone and unattended. Their cocks curved up from their crotches, powerful 
and terrifying even in stone. Debby felt something lodge in her throat as 
she stared at the head of Magog's penis. It seemed so big but the 
priestesses had somehow managed to service it the day before.

   Bice tugged on the leash again and led her along the winding path to the
more managed parts of the Goddess's Grove.

   It was very early and few people were about. A pair of joggers ran past 
on a paved path. They wore sweat pants, sports bras and headbands to keep 
their hair out of their eyes. They glanced at Debby and whispered to each 
other. One giggled, high and conspiratorial.

   In that moment Debby felt very naked. Her pitiful clothes clung to her 
dirty, sweat stained body like they were only half there. The cool morning 
air swirled around her legs and touched her hot sex, unprotected as it was 
by any underwear. Her normally blonde hair must be in a pitiful state. Her 
entire chest was bare, save for the thin tube-top which ran in a narrow 
band around her tits, squeezing and mauling her breasts. She was utterly 
unfit to be out in public. In fact, naked would surely have been better, 
for some always chose to honour the Goddess that way. None of that 
mattered; she had no choice.

   Bice led her across the park but not to the monorail station. Instead 
they went to the road. An off-orange gelatinous cube slowly made its way 
along the pavement, dissolving the trash of the night before. Bice paused 
to let it ooze passed, then walked over the now sparkling sidewalk to the 
curb where a yellow taxicab waited, its engine spluttering as it turned 
over.

   He opened the door and wordlessly looked at her. She climbed in, her 
short skirt flaring up to show her ass and cunt. He followed a moment later
and pulled the door shut. In the tight confines of the cab, his presence 
almost crushed her. She fidgeted with her hands, the future a hidden, 
frightful thing.

   "Where too?" asked the cabbie. He was an older man, with a thick 
moustache and a battered flat cap. A dog-eared cigarette hung from his 
mouth, which shot silver sparks along with the more mundane smoke.

   "Icecleaver stadium," Bice said.

   "Going to see the big fight?" said the cabbie as he cast a glance out 
his rear-view mirror and pulled off from the curb. "Will be listening to it
on my radio myself. Have to work see. Children to feed."

   "My purposes are many," murmured Bice. He gazed out the window, once 
more impassive to all around him.

   Debby froze in her seat. Icecleaver stadium? That was beyond public. 
Fifty thousand people might see her and millions more if a TV camera caught
her image. Worse, most would be men, men of a distinctively rowdy sort. 
Dragon fights were incredibly popular.

   Her gaze flicked to Bice, her heart racing. What was he planning? He 
couldn’t be planning to throw her to the crowd. That was impossible, beyond
even her worst nightmares. Somehow the red nightmare hardened her nipples 
and set her clit buzzing.

   The stadium was on the other side of the city and the journey took 
almost an hour. The closer they got to the stadium, the thicker the traffic
grew.  Home and away fans packed the streets, some in cars, others in 
busses and still more in singing, chanting packs. Half wore the blue-and-
white tabards of the Icecleavers. The remainder wore the red and gold of 
the visiting Warlights.

   The cabbie pulled up at the side of the road and Debby climbed out, more
careful this time so she didn’t flash any of the onlookers. Not that such a
little modesty made much difference. Some stopped and stared at the dirty 
whore in her flimsy clothes. One twenty something with gelled up hair stuck
two fingers in his mouth and let loose an ear splitting whistle.

   Bice followed her out the cab and loomed behind her, leash in hand. That
stopped many of the onlookers. He towered over Debby and while that wasn’t 
hard, he towered over most of the fans too. Combined with his shirtless 
state that showed every sculpted muscle and few were fool enough to 
challenge him.

   "Follow," he said and led her into the stadium.

   Even as intimidating as Bice was, he didn’t get to skip the cue. Slowly 
they moved towards the turnstiles and the uniformed officials taking 
tickets. Bice produced two as they reached the front and handed them to the
young woman in the close cut steward’s smock and tricorne hat. She look at 
them, glancing from Bice to Debby with wide eyes.

   "Um," she said and bit her lip. "Seats 45 and 46 Z, Area 4." She waved 
them through.

   Bice led her by leash through the tunnel and up the correct set of 
stairs to their seats. They were good seats, at least as far as Debby could
judge such things, but she knew she wasn’t here for the fight. Thousands of
people filled the banked stadium seats, countless cheering, arguing, 
singing and fighting voices.

   On the grounds proper, the two teams readied themselves. Vets and 
handlers checked over Winter, the Icecleavers’ Arctic Cold Snapper. She was
a magnificent beast, fully forty feet of ice-blue scales and opalescent 
wings. Arctic Cold Snappers were known for their beauty among dragons and 
Winter stood apart, even with the scars and minor wounds she’d picked up in
past fights.

   Fang, the Warlights’ slate grey Iron Growler bull, underwent a similar 
set of checks by his team. The endorsement agents scurried over the great 
beast’s flanks with stencils and spray paint, putting the final corporate 
logos in place. Fang’s rider, Gaudwyn Wrath, stood by the dragon’s nose in 
silent communion with his mount.

   "Bice," said Debby in a low whisper. "Why are we here?" Already she was 
gathering leering looks and appreciative glances. She felt utterly 
vulnerable, the tiny skirt and thin top almost no protection at all.

   "Wait," he said and for a few long moments Debby worried that was all he
would say. "You will see when the match begins."

   It was almost half an hour before the match started. Debby spent the 
time fidgeting in her seat, the plastic cool against her exposed ass. The 
attention around her grew in that time too. Whispers swum and bred in the 
people-sea, fingers pointed and men craned their necks to get a better 
look. Naked people on leashes were an uncommon site at sporting events.

   Final it was time. The two teams left the main ground, leaving only the 
two dragons and their riders. The riders sat on special saddles, affixed 
where long draconic necks met torsos. The two dragons eyed each other. 
Somewhere in their animal minds, they knew what was about to happen.

   The referee fired his starting gun, and the two great beasts leapt at 
each other, claws ready, wings spread and mouths wide. Excitement rushed 
through Debby’s veins and she leaned forward, edge of her seat. She wasn’t 
normally a fan of dragon fights but the energy of the stadium was electric.

   "You will suck my cock while I watch the match," said Bice.

   Goddess, no.

   Diamond hard permafrost filled Debby’s chest, a perfect mirror to the 
ice which ran through her collar. Unable to pause, unable to demure, she 
rose from her seat and fell to her knees in front of Bice. His tight 
leather pants clung to her legs and framed the terrifying bulge of his 
crotch. He undid a number of small metallic buttons and pulled his cock 
free. It hung in his hands, a long length of blood-filled flesh.

   The collar pulled Debby forward. Her lips touched the bulbous crown. The
flesh was warm like baking clay. She wanted to scream and run. She wanted 
to fight. Red filled her vision. Panic ran discordant riot through her 
body. None of that mattered.

   Her lips opened all on their own, and she took the cock into her mouth. 
Her first cock. Her only cock. It tasted clean and filled her utterly, even
though she only had the smallest amount inside her. Dragon screams and the 
roars of the crowd sounded behind her but she had her own world.

   For a while, she just suckled on the head, milking it with pressure and 
the slightest of up and down motions. The collar seemed okay with this, 
only feeling slightly cold. Bice wanted more, however.

   He laid his hands on her head and drew her down. She swallowed more of 
the cock, taking it deeper and deeper until it filled her mouth. It seemed 
impossible. Tears stung the corners of her eyes and she wanted to tear 
herself free, to run away and never again experience the Binding.

   That wasn’t a choice.

   Bice guided her back up, then down again. She got the message and took 
up the motion on her own, though she avoided going quite as deep as Bice 
seemed to wish.

   That simple, repetitive motioned seemed to go on forever, but finally 
she felt Bice’s body start to tense under her. It was a subtle thing, a 
tightening of muscles and a shifting of blood. She could guess very well 
what it meant.

   Bice placed his hands on her head again as he erupted. Salty sperm 
filled Debby’s mouth – more than filled it. In that red filled moment, she 
thought she would drown. She tried to pull back, to escape and break free, 
but the collar held her frozen. A sickly mix of shame and forbidden lust 
ran through her as the cum filled her up. A small amount escaped her lips 
and dribbled down her chin.

   Finally Bice stopped and guided her back off his cock. He met her angry,
terrified eyes and smiled, the first real emotion she’d seem on his 
normally impassive face.

   "Swallow," he said.

   Ice cracked and broke in her chest, as if before a steam powered ice 
breaker. The collar broke any resistance she might offer and she did as 
bid. The sperm sunk down her gullet and into her stomach, were it boiled 
with queasy unease.

   Around her, the crowd erupted into whooping claps. They weren’t 
celebrating the match. A small circle of onlookers was completely focused 
on her. Debby wanted to die even as her sopping cunt boiled under the tiny 
skirt.

   "You have fans, Debby," said Bice as he unclipped the leash form her 
collar. He then said the terrifying, the impossible and the unforgivable. 
"Why don’t you pleasure them as you did me?"

                                    ~~~                                    

   It was a long three hours and by the end Debby’s jaw was aching and 
drying cum smeared her face and hair. Her tube-top was ripped from one too 
many groping hands and one of her meaty breasts hung loose. Her skirt road 
up, showing her needy red cunt to anyone who looked.

   She’d sucked off eight different men. She’d taken each cock deep in her 
mouth, tasted them, pleasured them and let them spend themselves in or on 
her. It was disgusting. It was terrifying. Part of her was secretly 
thrilled at her whorish acts.

   The dragon fight ended in a home team victory. Fang, the Warlights’ Iron
Growler, lay on his back in surrender, soft underbelly on display. Winter 
stood preening over her defeated opponent and her rider stood on her back 
and waved.

   While the crowd was still celebrating, Bice led Debby out of the stadium
and down to the street. He called down a taxi and said, "Goddess’s Grove," 
in his oddly soft voice.

   This taxi driver was less talkative. He just grunted, slotted his cab 
into gear and took off.

   Back at the temple, Bice stripped Debby of her meagre and now quite 
soiled clothes. She stood naked and shivering in the temple entrance way – 
breast and cunt bare, arousal on display. Priestesses and priests gave her 
strange, knowing looks. Every one of them knew what the triple braided 
collar meant and that she’d agreed to every cruel fate which befell her.

   For the remainder of the day, Bice continued Debby’s obedience training.
They practiced the positons she’d learned the day before: Bow, Tower, 
Spread, Attention and more.

   Come the end of training and for what Bice named, "An acceptable day’s 
achievements," he let her bathe. The temple had a small heated rock pool 
and the warm water soothed away all the grime from her body and made her 
feel more human than she had since she’d arrived.

   After that treat, Bice returned Debby to the small chamber she’s come to
think of as her room. The bonfire burned in the centre and a number of 
burning braises stood in the corners. It wasn’t time for her to sleep, 
however, for only a few minutes later, the high priestess arrived.

   Debby pulled herself into attention position and looked up at her 
visitor. The high priestess appeared as refined and regal as always, her 
beaten copper hair and bright green eyes vibrant.

   "You were right to come to us, Sister," she said.

   Debby felt conflicted at the statement. At once it was reassuring to 
have her course of action affirmed but her own doubts had been growing.

   "I have learned the Goddess has not set another path for you. The path 
she set for you is the one you now seek to walk. Only one thing stops you: 
fear. You fear the fire within you and others. You fear to be burned. You 
fear what the sharing of pleasures with mean and change."

   Her eyes flashed and she strode to a brazier next to the wall. Debby 
turned to follow.

   "Do not move or speak again until I give you an order," said the high 
priestess and Debby’s body froze as the collar chilled.

   "You fear the fire because it is dangerous, Sister, but it is only as 
dangerous as we let it be." She waved her hand over the crackling flames 
before her. "Fire helps us. It cooks our food, heats our homes, powers our 
cities. And yes it is dangerous too. It burns us. It scars us. But we must 
not fear it."

   She steeled herself and thrust both hands deep into the flames. Fire 
licked her skin, which turned red, then black. The high priestess shook, 
arms twitching as she overrode her bodies innate desire to escape from 
pain.

   Debby sat frozen and terrified. She wanted to scream for help. She 
wanted to leap to her feet and save the high priestess from her pain. None 
of those options were open to her. All she could do was sit still and 
silent and the priestess burnt herself alive.

   "The Goddess protects, Sister," said the high priestess through gritted 
teeth. "Never forget." She withdrew her left hand from the flames. The skin
was pristine and undamaged. "And what she does not protect, she heals." She
withdrew and held up her right hand. Black scars and weeping red burns 
covered the skin. She closed her eyes, let out a breath and diffuse white 
light danced over her injuries. They healed before Debby’s started eyes.

   The high priestess stepped back from the brazier and walked to the door.
At the last moment she stopped and turned to Debby. "Your fire is the 
Goddess’s gift, Sister. Give it freely and trust in Her and you shall not 
be burnt. You may move and speak now." With those words she swept away.

   She left Debby with much to think about.

                                    ~~~                                    

   Ryn had begun to worry for her flatmate as soon as she’d left Debby at 
the temple. It wasn’t that she thought Debby was making a mistake or that 
she looked on her friends coming trails with any particular ill feeling. 
Indeed, thoughts of Debby’s erotic torments were something of a not so 
secret thrill to her. But she did care for her friend and worried for the 
pain she might experience before the inevitable acceptance.

   It was with some relief, there for, that she received a call from the 
Goddess’s Office, four days after Debby’s departure.

   "Of course I’ll come!" she said into the receiver. "Tonight at the 
temple? I’ll be there."

   The event was still some hours off but Ryn set to getting ready. She 
showered, washed and dried her long black hair. She applied makeup, perfume
and dressed in a stylish cocktail dress.

   Come the appointed hour, she left the apartment and took the monorail to
the Goddess’s Grove. It was dark by the time she arrived and the bright 
white glow of street lamps lit the park like strung fairy lights.

   She made her way to the temple in the centre of the Grove. Even with the
late hours, the place bustled. Priests and priestesses moved about and the 
beat of loud music echoed.

   The high priestess met her when she arrived. "Sister," she said and 
leaned forward, kissing Ryn’s cheek. Ryn returned the gesture. "I’m glad 
you have come. Debby has requested your presence. She has elected to gift 
away her virginity to Priest Bice tonight. Please follow me."

   The high priestess led Ryn into the temple. Debby met them in a small 
chamber off a large hall. She wore a simple white dress and a triple 
braided black collar.

   "Ryn!" she cried and threw her arms around her friend. "I’m glad you 
came. Did you hear? I’m going to do it. The fire, I’m not scared. I will 
face it. The Goddess will protect."

   "I’m so happy for you," said Ryn and hugged her friend back.

   "They’re ready for you," said a mousy priestess from inside the chamber.

   "Wish me luck," said Debby and gave Ryn one last hug.

   "I will," said Ryn and Debby disappeared into the chamber.

   "Let us take our places," said the high priestess. Ryn nodded.

   They arranged themselves with a crowd of onlookers before an altar. 
Behind that stood an immense statue of the Goddess in all her glory.

   Debby stood bent over the altar, her white dress just covering her ass. 
From deep in the room, a drumbeat struck up. A priest approached her. He 
was tall and thick chested, with wild black-red tattoos across his chest. A
very respectable cock bobbed before him and heavy balls hung below that. 
This would be Priest Bice, Ryn realised.

   He approached Debby from behind and ran his hands across her cloth 
covered ass. She writhed under his touch, like a purring cat. He flipped 
the dress up and Ryn saw her friend’s cunt. It was fat and red and clearly 
in great need.

   "Please," said Debby in a voice infused with impossible longing. "Do 
it."

   Bice struck home. His cock speared into her pussy, balls deep, and Debby
let out a cry of pure pleasure. She rolled her hips, seeking for even more 
contact.  Bice for his part grunted and started hammering away – a hard 
pounded stroke that made Ryn’s knees weak just watching it. She wished her 
first time had been so skilful and filled with energy, not the quick 
unsatisfying affair it had been.

   In and out, he went, and for such a long time and Ryn had to wonder at 
his stamina. Debby orgasmed again and again under his pounding, her body a 
puddle of exploding nerves and female pleasure. Finally Bice gave one final
thunderous thrust and erupted into Debby’s cunt. His ass muscles twitched 
five times and he pulled back. His cock glittered in the burning lights of 
the temple.

   The opening act of the ceremony might have been over but there was much 
more to come. Debby changed position and more participants joined her on 
stage. The high priestess sucked Bice’s cock back to like and he took his 
place on the altar. Debby slowly lowered herself down onto his thrusting 
cock and groaned as she did. Other men approached her and she took them in 
her hands and mouth. It was an orgy of sexual pleasure and excitement.

   "Am I beautiful?" gasped Debby as she bounced up and down on Bice’s 
cock, two others in her hands. Cum stained her hair and glistened on her 
body.

   Ryn reached down a flicked a loose strand of blonde hair from her 
friends face. She smiled. "Yes, Debby. You are as beautiful as I’ve ever 
seen you." She slipped off her black cocktail dress and joined in the fun. 
For long into the night they relished the pleasure of their bodies and the 
bodies of others. The terror of red bothered none of them at all.
