With the guard`s dagger, it was quite easy for Vanessa to free her companions, including Hadine. The bounty huntress had fainted and they had to carry her inside one of the caves, but finally, they were all five freed from their ties and gags.
„Now, we should find some clothes and then, we should leave this friendly place forever!“
Tina nodded and Caris and Ella looked anxiously for the guard who still was lying on the ground. Sooner or later, his colleagues would find him and also see that the prisoners were free. Now, Hadine, who had regained consciousness, said:
„Perhaps, we should take a hostage with us!“
The others understood that she was talking about Lana who was somewhere inside this cave, too. It would be dangerous to search the rooms instead of looking for the exit as soon as possible, but they also wanted a little revenge and so, they sneaked through the corridors, looking for the treacherous maid.
„There!“
Vanessa, being the most experienced in searching houses, had found the entrance to a room hidden behind a curtain. It was dominated by a large divan and on it, the redhead was sleeping. They looked and listened if someone was around, then, they prepared their attack. The five women only had the ropes and cloths they had been tied up with, but that would be enough.
Without a sound, they encircled the bed. Lana was sleeping on her side. Both Caris and Ella placed themselves at the foot sides of the bed whilst Vanessa and Tina prepared to grab her arms. Hadine had balled up the still damp loincloth she had been gagged with, together with the iron gag Tina had worn.
They attacked at the same moment when Lana turned on her back and before the girl was fully awake, she had her mouth stuffed full with the soiled cloth and was firmly held by the four attackers. A minute later, she was tied at her wrists, elbows knees and ankles and had been put in a hogtie whilst Hadine had screwed the iron gag between her lips. Lana mewed helplessly, but Hadine just tied a rope to her scalp and connected it to her big toes, forcing Lana to lie in a hideous bow with her head forced back.
„Mmmhrrrmmm!“
„That`s what they all say!“
Hadine ripped the tunic from Lana, leaving her stark naked. Then, whilst her companions rummaged the room for clothing, she applied a crotch rope on Lana, so tight the girl mewed with pain and that the rope all but disappeardd between her labia and buttocks. Then, Hadine found herself some clothes, too.

Not that there was much to chose from. Since the Brotherhood`s men usually only wore loincloths and their trademark red bandanas, the five girls only found a few silk tunics that barely covered their nakedness. These would have to do, Tina decided, for Vanessa had discovered an advantage of this room: a hole in the wall acting as a window.
„It`s some 30 feet to the ground and I can see no guards here! If we tie the remaining ropes together, we might be able to do it!“
Quickly, they prepared a makeshift climbing rope and then, Hadine heaved the bound and gagged Lana to the window. The girl squirmed and mewed, but Hadine laughed:
„Don`t worry, I will take care that you won`t die – yet!“
She tied the rope to Lana`s crotch rope and then lowered her to the ground. Lana screamed when all her weight was carried by the rope between her legs, but finally, she was lying on the ground. Hadine tied the other end of the rope to the bed and then, they climbed down one by one.
„Now, all we have to do is to find the rebels who are somewhere around, some 100 miles away!“
However, staying here wasn`t an option either and so, they walked through the hills. They had freed Lana`s legs and tied a noose around her neck instead, using it like a leash to make their captive follow them.
However, barefoot, exhausted and with neither provision nor water, they had to pause after just one hour. Still, they had no idea where they were, except for the rather vague direction towards Ruan. Luckily, they found a little spring where they could quench their thirst, but now, they had to consider something better than just staggering around.
„Meanwhile, they must have discovered our disappearance and even with the magic powers of Tina, we are weaker than the whole bunch!“
Tina was not protesting against Vanessa`s words. She was busy washing her body that was still covered with a mixture of sand, sweat and other liquids. Her butt still was slightly burning, though only a little reddening still gave prove of her heavy spanking.
But Tina remembered what show she had given to her companions, writhing helplessly in the throes of passion – passion caused by the men beating her. What a start to impress her underlings!
Caris and Ella, however, behaved respectfully towards her, adressing her as „Your Highness“ when talking to her. Vanessa, who hadn`t witnessed Tina`s kinky side for the first time, hadn`t said anything. Then, there was Hadine.
Tina blushed from the terrible – and also terribly exiting – memory of their naked bodies rubbing over each other. She had seen that Hadine had oppressed her own orgasm with an almost inhuman strength and she had wondered what had enabled her to withstand. Perhaps, the ring she had tied around her neck had something to do with it.
„A ring of strength“, she thought by herself, „maybe, I should ask her to give it to me!“
But now, escape was on the agenda. And her underlings expected her to take the lead. So, Tina rose from the ground and said:
„My powers are still weakened, but I feel more confident and strong by the minute. Soon, I will be able to cast a spell that will get us out of here!“
„Mitahu Pakah!“, Caris whispered.
It had been what Tina had hoped: that one of her companions knew the right words that could turn into a spell once she was using them. Of course, it could also be a simple phrase. But there was only one way to find out and when she repeated the words in her mind, she could feel that they had some meaning.
„Mitahu Pakah!“, Tina said in a low voice.
She wasn`t sure what exactly she had expected. There was no food raining from the clouds or a way glooming in front of them. But there was a little blue light between two hills and when Tina walked towards it, it seemed to be waiting for her.
„Are you sure what you are doing?“, Vanessa asked. Tina, who now realized that only she could see the light, answered with a smile:
„A Queen always knows what she is doing!“
Vanessa gave her a friendly slap on her butt, but followed her as Tina went after the blue light that was leading her through the hills. A part of Tina was afraid she was following a Will-o`-the wisp, but then, she saw the house. It was made of wood, but it was more than a simple hut and though it was abandoned, it still looked as if it would offer some shelter.
„Not bad!“, was Vanessa`s comment as they had examined the place. It only consisted of two rooms plus a little stable, but they found some fruits and vegetables, together with an amphora of wine. The former owner must have left the house quite overhasty.
After they had had supper, leaving Lana watch them, tied to a post and still gagged, Hadine, who had found some herbs, had prepared some tea for them all.
„I will take the first watch“, she offered, taking the sword they had taken from the guard that was their only weapon. The others took some straw and burlap sacks as beds and soon, everyone but Lana and Hadine were sleeping.
The bounty huntress smiled. The tea leaves she had found had been okay, but she had also found a special plant growing near the house. A plant that would send even an elephant to sleep. Hadine had only faked drinking from the tea and now, she let her fingers run over her neck ring.
„Sorry, Queen of Light, but my life is worse more to me than your claim to the Throne!“
Quickly, she began to prepare some ropes for her sleeping companions.
***
Vanessa was weaking up slowly, wondering why she could see nothing when she was blinking her eyes. She tried to rub them with her hands, but could not get them close to her face.
„Mhhmm?“
„Oh no, not again!“, she thought when she realized that she had been bound and gagged once more. Her hands were tied in front of her. Normally, it would have been more than easy to remove such a tie, but she found that her arms were hooked under those of two women sitting to her right and to her left. Besides, her bound wrists were tied to a rope that ran through her crotch – her naked crotch, as she felt when she once again pulled on her bonds.
„Mmhhmmph!“
Something was shoved into Vanessa`s mouth and tied there with some rope or thong that bit into the corners of her mouth. Another cloth had been tied over her head, effectively blindfolding her. Somme mmphing from her sides told her that the women she was sitting shoulder to shoulder to were in the same predicament. And then, she fully understood how they had been tied up.
She was sitting on the top of a wooden block and her knees were tied to that of her companions. The fact that they were sitting with their backs forming a triangle, it meant that each of them had to keep her legs open in a 120-degree angle, presenting their naked pubic mounds to whoever had left them like this. Besides, Vanessa now could feel a pressure on her neck when a rope was rubbing over her throat. The same time, her crotch rope tightened and she understood the perfidy of the arrangement: the rope that ran from her bound wrists through her crotch was somehow connected to one of her companion`s neck and so was her neck connected to one of the other women`s crotch rope. So, whenever one of them tried to free themselves, this would have consequences on both their necks and their loins.
„Who left us like this? Was it Hadine? Or did the Brotherhood get us? But why did we not get up on time?“
She shifted her position, causing her companions to mew and to rub their bodies against hers. The block was moving, obviously, it was far from being stable.
„Well, what keeps us from trying to stand up?“, Vanessa thought.
It was, as the three captives very soon had to find out, the way they had been tied with splayed legs. Her attempt to raise resulted into them all landing on the ground on their butts. It did not hurt, but they hadn`t improved either. Still, they were forced to sit shoulder on shoulder and hip on hip, tied together and unable to reach the knots of their ties or to undo their gags and blindfolds. Each shifting of their inconvenient position, each lowering of their upper bodies, each attempt to fight their bonds – it all resulted in more rubbing of the rough hemp between their legs. Vanessa now could feel that her crotch rope even had some knots tied into it. Whoever had tied them, had made sure that sooner or later their arousal would join in the game.
***
The same time, when the sun had just sunk, Hadine had reached the top of a hill from which she could see the lights of a city at the horizon. Ruan. Now, the city was only away some five or six miles. Hadine looked at the moon that now was short from being full and almost felt the neck ring tighten around her throat. Then, she turned over to the two women kneeling next to her.
Having tied up Vanessa, Caris and Ella, she had tied Tina at wrists and elbows, stuffed her mouth with her entire silk tunic, forcing all of the flimsy material in, and secured the gag with a leather strap. Then, she had untied Lana from her post and told her the deal:
„We will go for the Countess now. Try anything and you will laugh in hell about it!“
She had put the unconscious Tina over her shoulders and carried her whilst Lana had to walk behind, the rope still around her neck. Once Tina had regained consciousness, she had tied another noose around her neck, too, and forced both women to follow her on her way. When the bounty huntress finally had stopped, both had obeyed her order to kneel from sheer exhaustion.
Hadine was sure that she would be able to reach the city in two hours. Getting inside would be no match for her, but there still were her captives. She was sure that she would somehow get them inside Ruan, too, but she would not get them inside the palace unseen.
„All right, Ladies, time to separate for a little while!“
Tina and Lana answered with a muffled protest, but Hadine just made Tina sit in a lotus position and tied her crossed ankles, connecting her bound wrists to them so the blonde could not change her position. Then, she pushed her under a tree. Tina could see a branch directly over her head and given the fact that Hadine still had some of the rope they had found in the house, she had an idea what was coming.
However, Hadine was imaginative. She made Lana stand in front of Tina and tied the redhead`s ankles to Tina`s knees, forcing her to stand with her legs spread. Lana`s upper body was shaking from her trying to keep balance, her naked boobs bouncing in the progress.
Tina felt relief when Hadine then took the noose from her neck. The rope was tied to Tina`s wrists and then pulled upwards. Tina had to bend forward and stretch her bound arms into the air, her shoulders aching from the uncomfortable position. Her forehead now was between Lana`s open knees and she let out a groan of pain.
„Oh, do you want me to change your positions?“
Tina arched her head back to see what Hadine was talking about. She could see that the rope that forced her arms upwards was now running over the branch. The dangling end had been tied to Lana`s tight crotch rope.
„At least, you may stay sitting, Tina. But once this little bitch tries to do so...“
She left the sentence unfinished but both women understood that this would cause Lana to dangle from her own crotch rope. Hadine disappeared from Tina`s view and little later, she could feel the hands of the bounty huntress under her buttocks.
„Oh, I haven`t forgot about your little – preference!“
„Mmhhmmph!“
Tina moaned when she felt something painful under her butt.
„Just a few thistles, since you seem to like a little pain there!“
Hadine laughed and a few seconds later, she had disappeared in the dark.
***
„Mmhrrrmmmm!“
Vanessa was a strong woman, but now, she felt nothing but frustration. She had not been able to loosen a knot since their awakening and only the occasional tugs on her crotch rope or her neck had kept her from dozing off, since she still felt the sleeping drug inside her. Her desperate urge to pee, also caused by the drink, didn`t help the matter either.
Then, she suddenly heard a sound. The sound of a step on the sand. Vanessa fell silent and listened carefully. There was someone around. Angrily, she pulled on her bonds, since one of her companions was still moaning, distracting her.
There was no doubt, someone was standing close to her. So close she could smell him, even through the silk covering her head. Then, she could feel the breath of air as the stranger sat down between her open legs.
„Mmmhmmmph!“
Vanessa was sure that the Brotherhood had discovered them in their helpless predicament. The next moment, they would take advantage of their situation! However, nothing happened. There was no howling and shouting. Perhaps, it was just one scout that had discovered them.
However, this scout seemed to have chosen her. Vanessa moaned, half from surprise, half from embarrassment, when she felt a pair of rough hands on her breasts. She tried to arch back and shook her head no, but the stranger kept on fondling her. He seemed to have all time in the world, and after some struggling and mewing, Vanessa relaxed. She had known that this could have happened and the less she fought it, the less painful it would be.
He continued to massage and knead her boobs, not too soft, but also not brutal. When she gasped, she could feel that he even tried to adjust to her breath.
„Oh wow, I`ve got a real gentleman here!“, she thought, but at the same time, she felt that what this man was doing wasn`t feeling that bad. Then, she felt a pair of lips on her neck, then, a tongue.
„No, please, not that!“
„Mmhhrrrmmm! Uuhhhmmm! Nnnngggg!“
Being a thief, Vanessa had been in prison a few times and there, some of the guards had shown some interest in the pretty brunette. Sometimes, this had helped her to escape, but never had she thought that she would like to be touched against her will. However, if Vanessa had one weak spot in her defense shield, it was her neck. She was extremely sensitive and getting caressed at the point directly under her ear – the point where the man was just kissing her whilst still fondling her breasts and playing with her nipples – was the door to her feelings.
With a flattering sound, she breathed through her gag and when she now moved her upper body, she tried to present her neck to him and she arched her body forward to feel his hands even more. The voice of modesty was still protesting, assisted by the voice of her rational brain, but whilst her growing arousal was fighting her modesty, she could almost hear another, also terribly rational, voice inside her head:
„If you can`t fight it anyway, why not enjoying it?“
Vanessa moaned. She did not want to give in to her captors, but at the same time, she felt that tingling and warmth in her womb and she almost involuntarily moved her hips, so her crotch rope could tease her even more.
Without taking his mouth from her neck, he let one hand wander down her belly and pushed it between her pubic mound and the rope. Vanessa reared up and let out a deep sigh that left nothing to imagination when his fingers slid inside her.
„Uuuuhhmmm! Mmmmhhmmm!“
If this was captivity, then to hell with freedom! This man had magic hands! Not only was he gentle, but strong, his fingers also seemed to be able to move individually, each trying to bring as much pleasure as possible. His thumb was massaging her clit, whilst his index finger had found a small spot that only Vanessa had known about so far. And even she hadn`t discovered it`s full potential.
When he encircled this spot, it felt wonderful and exiting and she moved faster and faster, now riding on his hand. Then, he touched the spot for the first time. Vanessa cringed as this felt painful. For about two seconds. Then, she almost exploded, screaming into her gag, thrusting her body against him and rubbing her slippery hot flesh over his hand. The lack of oxygen almost made her faint and it took her a while before she noticed that her hands had been untied.
„Uuhhmmmm! Mmhhmmm!“
She weakly reached for the man, but he was busy untying the sweaty cloth from her face. When he pulled the remnants of the tunic from her head, Vanessa blinked at her captor.
„Mmhhmmm?!“
„Sorry, but after last summer, I wanted to show you what you have missed!“
It was Malik! Malik, who had expected Tina and her when they had passed the portal and who had been shot by the attackers little later. Obviously, his wounds had not been lethal.
Vanessa blushed and lowered her eyes when he loosened the knot of the rope that was tied between her jaws. Last summer, she had chosen Sarn instead of Malik. Sarn, the more handsome of the two. Sarn, who had turned out to be a traitor and who had sold her and Tina into slavery.
„A kiss for your saviour?“, Malik asked when he had pulled the cloth from her mouth. Vanessa glanced at him.
„You bastard!“
„Oh Vanni, you look so sweet if you pretend to be angry!“, he replied with a smile.
„I am not pretending!“, she was about to shout, but then, she looked down on herself. She still was stark naked, her body covered with sweat and her legs still splayed, tied to her fellow captives`s – Caris and Ella, s she now could see – knees. Her nipples were still erect and when she looked further down, she could see and smell that there had been something else she didn`t had to pretend.
„You bastard!“, she repeated, but when he kissed her, she kissed him back.
Little later, he had freed them all. Caris and Ella were blushing all over and trying to cover themselves with their arms. Vanessa could notice that they were avoiding to look at her and she felt her cheeks redden, too. These two girls had been close witnesses to how she had reacted to Malik`s caresses – and since they had been tied to her, they had more or less participated in the act. Vanessa could see that both were in a state of slight arousal and, maybe, a little envy, too.
Malik now seemed to be intersted in other things, however.
„The good thing is that now, you are free and that we can search for the Queen of Light. The bad thing, however, is that there aren`t many of us left. Precisely, I am the only one of the old gang of which I know where he currently is!“
Though this wasn`t encouraging, at least, Malik handn`t come with empty hands. He could offer some clothes to the three girls and he also had two horses with him. Whilst Caris and Ella were sharing the second, Vanessa sat behind Malik on his horse.
„So, it seems that this bounty huntress has got the Queen and according to what we know, she is now trying to get her to Ruan. Well, I have recovered from my wounds and I am ready for another suicide mission!“
***
Though she had been a businesswoman, Tina had had an interest for magic all her life, perhaps due to her ancestors from this world. It had started as a girl with tales about fairies and witches, but when she had grown up, she had also read some non-fiction books about the sujet. However, the rules for magic on this world seemed both fascinating and frustrating to her.
Fascinating, because she really had supernatural powers within her and she more and more learned how to use them efficiently.
Frustrating, because for using her magic, she needed to use a spell. And being bound and gagged, she was just as helpless as her companion.
„Mmhrrmmmm!“
„Uuhhmmm!“, Lana answered. Tina could feel her squirm and whenever she rose her head, her eyes were only inches away from the redhead`s strip of pubic hair. Obviously, the women on this world trimmed or shaved there, as she had seen on both Vanessa and Hadine. Only the two peasant girls had looked natural.
Tina would have felt glee when she saw how tight Lana`s crotch rope had been applied, but the damn thing made the treacherous maid squirm and move. And whenever she did so, it pulled on Tina`s stretched arms, adding to her discomfort. However, when she tried to lower her arms, it pulled Lana`s lap even closer into her face.
Tina had tried to pick on her ties, but to no avail, for Hadine had known how to tie all knots out of reach. The only improvement had been that the thistles had now been pressed flat under her butt and weren`t hurting her any more.
„If only I could get rid of my gag, then, I could set us free!“
She had tried to push the giant wad out of her mouth, but it pressed down her tongue and was too large to be removed without help, even if there had been no tight strap tied between her jaws. In a desperate attempt, she had even tried to rub the gag against the lap of the horrified Lana, just to get the strap undone, but this had only caused her to sneeze when the redhead`s pubic hair had tickled her nose.
„Uuhhmmmmph!“
Once more, Lana, increasingly tired from having to stand for hours, staggered and shaked. Angrily, Tina pulled down her bound arms, causing Lana to shriek into her gag as her crotch rope tightened. Tina glanced at her. At least, she could make this little bitch suffer, too!
Then, they heard the sound of approaching horses and little later, Tina could see several men in uniforms get close to them. Her short hope of being rescued vanished as one of them said:
„Well, at least, this bounty huntress hasn`t told us lies!“
Quite unceremoneously, they cut Lana from her, but left her arms tied. She was quickly hogtied and then, the same was done to Tina. Then, a large blanket was draped over the ground.
„Let`s wrap the gift for our beloved Countess!“
Both Tina and Lana mewed with protest as they were put on the blanket, front to front. However, they had not placed them face to face, but face to crotch. At least, this was so in Tina`s case, whilst the smaller Lana`s face was pushing against her lower abdomen. They pushed them close together, then, they wrapped the blanket around their bodies and secured it with several rounds of tight ropes before they were loaded on what seemed to be a camel.
In her warm cocoon, pressed against Lana`s nude body and forced to breathe in the scent of her womanhood, Tina felt as if she would suffocate and she had almost fainted when the blanket was finally unloaded and unwrapped.
Lying on her belly, Tina blinked and could see she was inside a large hall made of marble with pillars encircling the central floor. In front of her was a podium with the statue of a naked woman on it. Beside that, another naked woman was leaning. These two marble sculptures however didn`t look like lovers, more like a young pretty mother and her barely adult daughter. Obviously, these statues showed Kurali, Goddess of Love, and her daughter Luana.
„Welcome to the temple of the two goddesses!“
Tina turned her head and could see a tallish blonde woman wearing a purple dress and a black robe. Even without her tiara, Tina would have recognized her as Countess Sarina, Lana`s mistress and right hand of the Queen.
„I must apologize for not welcoming you with an official dinner, Rebel Queen! On the other hand, you will better get acquainted to your future, naked, bound and gagged like you are now!“
Tina saw no point in showing her any reaction. Beside her, Lana was moaning, but the Countess had given no order to set her free yet. Instead, she now pointed to the altar that was in front of the statues. It was covered with a pink silk cloth, but underneath, something was squirming slightly. The Countess waved her hand and two of her guards removed the cloth.
„You might be glad that the woman that caught you isn`t having much fun either, Rebel Queen!“
Tina looked at Hadine and she gasped. She too was hogtied, but her current predicament was gold compared to Hadine`s. The bounty huntress had her arms forced into a leather sheath laced so tight her arms were crushed together, forcing her to thrust out her big boobs. She too was hogtied, but her legs had been folded in a way her feet literally touched the back of her neck. There, her big toes were shackled to the leather mask that covered the lower half of her face, forcing her to keep her head back and her whole body was forced into a terrible bow. Hadine was slightly rocking back and forth on her belly, a wild expression in her blue eyes.
„Don`t feel too sad for her, Rebel Queen! I have granted her a joyride strap. A strap with big pearls on it, tied between her legs. It`s usually worn by some women when they ride men`s style, that`s why we call it a joyride strap. And, kind as I am, I even lubed it with a special potion Hadine knows only too well. She will soon please the goddesses with an earth-shaking orgasm.“
She giggled and went close to Hadine, letting her index finger run over the neck ring the bounty huntress still was wearing.
„Or should I say: an orgasm that will blow off her head?“
