"It hurts, doesn't it Menardi?" Saturos breathed down my neck as he punched me again in the stomach. The pain came too quickly for my battered body to handle. He had been at this since the sun had set, and there were already stars in the sky. I tried again to break the bounds that hung my hands to the rafter, but it was useless. They were to tight slip out of and to strong to break…

"You really should let up on her." A voice I recognized as Alex, said from the door. "She'll need to be in one piece when we get back to Forlenet. And I don't think the council will look to kindly on us if you kill their prized member…" He trailed off as Saturos smacked me, bloodying my right cheek.

"Just one more for good luck," He chuckled to Alex as he slipped off his iron gauntlets. Letting out a tiny sigh, I felt the bounds around me turn to cinders as Saturos burned them away. Falling to the floor I could barely breath, let alone get up.

"Don't forget bitch, I'll be putting you to normal use later tonight. So be there or we can have another episode like this tomorrow. Saturos sneered, kicking me once more in the stomach. I hadn't been prepared for that, pain laced through me as I laid on the floor gasping for air. My vision wavered from what I had just gone through, every nerve in my body was screaming. The torture Saturos had been putting me through, all because I refused the pleasure he desired…

After a minute the searing pain began to calm and I realized that both of the men had already left, leaving me here in the wine cellar of the inn we currently occupied. Of course as usual Alex had put everyone under his control, so I had no hope of being saved by a passing servant… Struggling to my knees I felt the spasms from my lower belly as the pain gave way once again. Ignoring all of this I crawled to the door, if I made it out in time I might be able to take a quick bathe in the bath house I had spotted. Considering how long it had been since I last had a real bath and the experience I had just went through, it would be almost as good as being home again. Getting to my feet I was able to grit my teeth against the pain as I opened the door.

It took me forever to get out of the inn, to the path that let to the bath house. As I walked along the cobblestone path I was pleased to find that the pain was beginning to wear off. Letting a slight smile mask my face I led my way into the bath house, looking forward to the pleasure my pained skin would receive. Entering the small house I quickly striped and entered the heated water. Laying against the wall of the hut I knew that I only had about a candle life left till Saturos would want me again. In the mean time I could just lay here in the warmth…

I awoke with a start, the water I had been laying was cold and I could see the outline of a figure near the doorway.

"Saturos…I had didn't mean to fall asleep. It was an accident…" I trailed of meekly, I had stupidly fallen asleep and know I would pay the price.

"I warmed you Menardi, and now the pain that you are going to receive will be double," I heard him say, malice covering every word. Suddenly the cooling water became alive with heat. Saturos must have heated the water so that it was now boiling. I could feel my cuts opening up, and the heated water scalding my skin. Letting out a scream, I tried to get out, but Saturos was already in the bath with me. How he was in here with me without getting burned, I couldn't tell. He ducked my head under the water, making the pain that more intense. I could barley breath and the scalding water was burning through my skin.

"Menardi, try to keep still," Saturos said, pulling my head back to the surface and toning the water to a more reasonable level. "This is your punishment for not obeying me." I let out another scream, trying to push him back, but he was far stronger than me. Grabbing my hands, he used his fire talent to burn them. He than proceeded to make love to me. The way he always did, to him it was pleasurable, but to me it felt as though my whole body was exploding.

The pain he bestowed upon me was painful, so painful. Letting out one last scream I let him take me, there was nothing more I could do.

A/N: Where did this come from? Oh well, what's done is done. I have no intention of continuing this but if enough people review, with positive comments, I'll reconsider. If this isn't what you like to read and you didn't enjoy it, that just don't review.
