*Eye on You (sequel to Sneaky)*

After suckling on her neck for a few minutes, Pythor removed his mouth from Pam's neck and lied down next to her. He then smiled at her softly as she then cuddled into his side with a whimper.

"How are we feeling now?" he purred into her ear.

"Free of stress," she answered. "You really know how to help a girl relax…even though you gave me a hickey…again." She then placed her hand on the reddened side of her neck to emphasize her point.

"Well, I'm afraid you'll have to cut your relaxation short," Pythor said, nuzzling her cheek with his nose while untying her ankle with his tail. "You still have a wedding to set up. And just to make sure you don't try to escape again, I'll have Acidicus and Skalidor keep an eye on you during the preparations." Pam sighed as she then got up from the bed with him.

"I wouldn't be surprised," she sighed. "After I pulled of that stunt and failed, I know you're not taking any chances." She then thought of something as they headed for the door. "Just so you know, Julien's able to escape and hitch a ride on Zane's falcon Guidance. If I know my ninja brothers, they'll be here to save me soon." Pythor just turned to her with a smile.

"Well, then I better kick the security up a notch, shouldn't I?" Pam just laughed as the two of them left the room.

*Fighting the Torture (sequel to Another Kidnapping Attempt)*

Tears flowed down Pythor's face as the machine tickled his bare stomach. He hates being tickled; it's torture to him. But he has to fight it somehow; Lloyd's been taken by Acidicus and Skalidor. Plus it's getting harder for him to breathe.

Just then, through his mind fogged up by the feathers moving about on his stomach, he noticed that his tail has gotten loose from all that thrashing. Now's his chance! Grabbing the machine with his tail, the Anacondrai moved the wretched machine away from him. He then took a minute to catch his breath before removing the ropes and duct tape holding him down, the tickled feeling leaving his tortured midsection. Finally, he was free of his bondage.

Good, he thought to himself as he got up from the floor. Now to save Lloyd. Good thing I know my way around this place; I'll need that sort of knowledge to find him. He then slithered out of the room and down the hall as quickly as he could go to catch up with the two Serpentine that has kidnapped his little brother.

*Pam's Revenge*

Pam walked up to Pythor, who was sunning himself in his folding chair on the deck of the Bounty. Behind her back, she held two pair of cuffs. Pythor is really in for it now…

The Anacondrai meanwhile was too busy enjoying himself to notice anything up. The sun just feels so good on his chest…

Click. Click. He suddenly opened his eyes with surprise at the sound of clicking. He reached for his sunglasses to push them up and find out what's going on, but he couldn't. He looked at his wrists…and saw that they're cuffed to the arms of the chair!

"What the—"

"Gotcha right where I want ya…" Pythor looked up to see the object of his affections at his side, wearing her lavender bathing suit with the diamond-shaped hole in the stomach for her belly button and giving him a sly smirk.

"Pamela…what are you doing?" he asked as she lied down next to him on the chair seductively.

"Making sure that you don't try to escape me," she answered before kissing her way up his to make him purr with a deep blush. He has to admit that this sort of "bondage" is not such a bad thing after all…until she whispered into his ear.

"This is payback for all those tickle attacks you made on me." Then she started to tickle his stomach.

"GAH! NOHAHAHAHAHA! STOHAHAHAHAP!" She only responded by blowing a raspberry into the side of his neck. Now he's REALLY regretting the whole "bondage" thing.
