A Wolf's Howl, A Fairy's Wing
Chapter 690 - 690 - Creating certainty*

Smiling, Erik stepped closer to the cute pair of servants he'd shackled against the wall. Bands of ice prevented them from seeing or moving, and a gag from speaking. Metallic objects similar to chastity belts were fastened around their waist, with dildos pushed into their front and back.

He pressed a hand on each of their stomachs, one lean, the other soft, and rubbed lightly. They trembled under his touch.

"Nora," he purred with a strange kind of stern playfulness, and looked the woman on his right. "When you entered me and my family's service, you were coerced to do so."

His hand moved up to knead and pinch her breasts. "You sneaked into my house thinking you could easily dominate me, like you'd done to plenty of others at the time, and instead got the situation reversed on you. Elora and I dominated you, and as punishment for your attempt, we enslaved you. We coerced an agreement out of you through edging."

He turned to Anne. "Anne… Our relationship had a rough start as well. You hated all humans and despised me for having them in my group. It wasn't until Emma helped you come to terms with what happened to your mother that your hate switched to hunters, specifically."

Sighing wistfully, he shrugged. "You still didn't like me much, though, which was kind of fair—I mean, feelings like that don't get solved so easily. But… you still burned with hatred for hunters. So, when I asked you to serve me and pursue hunters at the same time, you agreed… because I wouldn't let you come with me, otherwise."

He couldn't keep his hands still and absentmindedly played with their bodies as he talked. The girls trembled under his touch, but kept quiet. They could talk to him through their bond, but knew their master had more to say.

A small smile appeared on his lips again. "Now, I do believe you both have become content in your current roles, but… that's not good enough for me anymore. You are not my wives, after all. I love you two in a way, but not in the same way as them. I want my beloveds to have their own lives, desires, and goals."

Slowly, his voice took on a darker, more domineering tone. "But from you two… From you two, I need absolute devotion to me and my family as your first, and only, real priority."

Slowly, his hands reached up to gently clutch their throats. When he did so, a line of runes forming a collar appeared around both their necks. "But that's impossible while these Bonds of Service are in place. Not only were they coerced onto you, but they subtly steer your thoughts into more subservient behaviour towards your masters, and reward your obedience with a bit of pleasure."

Frowning, he cocked his head. "How can you truly devote yourself to me in such a situation? And, frankly, how can I trust you'll continue to serve me, even if these bonds are somehow removed?"

This was his main reason for doing this. Nora and Anne were becoming increasingly important in his and Elora's plans, but they were up against another fairy, who was intimately familiar with many of the techniques Elora used as well, like these Bonds of Service.

He doubted either of them would actually work with Imogene if the bonds were removed, but that wasn't good enough. He wanted them to continue working in his interest, even then.

"So, here's what I'll do," he smirked, his hands beginning to glow dark green as he connected to the bonds. "I'm going to suppress your bonds until they might as well not be there anymore."

"What?! Wai—!"

"M— Master! N—!"

Instantly, Nora and Anne finally engaged their bonds to frantically contact him, but they were cut-off mid sentence when the deed was already done.

The girls felt it—their bodies trembling and twitching harder as their breathing became anxious. They mumbled muffled words behind their gags as they tried to shake their heads, but couldn't.

Taking his hands of their throats, Erik smirked at their reactions. "I do love those reactions, but don't worry, you'll have a chance to get them back if you like. This way, I can't give you orders, and the bond won't influence your thoughts at all."

Stepping back, he clasped his large hands. "So! Here's how this is going to work."

He slapped the devices around their waists and grinned at their responsive moaning. "These two lovely devices are going to pleasure you for about an hour with vibrations and movements. You're free to enjoy and cum as much as you like during this."

Playfully, he poked the light bulge above their pelvis. "What part of my cum is still inside you will definitely make this feel even better."

A cruel smile then spread across his lips. "But of course, if you do that, the bond will be fully erased by the end of the hour. Any important information you might have learned during your time with me will be suppressed so you can't speak about it, and you'll be free women once again."

He waved at the door, despite knowing they couldn't see him. "You'll be free to go. Anne, you could go join the army and get your revenge on the hunters that way. Nora, you could go back to a life of personal freedom and playing around with weak men."

Surging forward, he grasped their throats again, a wicked grin gracing his expression. "Or, you could resist… If you go the entire hour without cumming and only do so when the restraints disappear, the bond will be restored in full."

"Understand this," he growled, squeezing his hands slightly. "The only certainty that awaits you on this path is my certainty. I am offering you two things: purpose and sexual gratification. These are your rewards if you make a conscious, uncoerced decision to serve me and suffer a little for the privilege."

Releasing them again, he stepped back and relaxed. With his gaze panning over their naked bodies, he chuckled. "Now, could I have simply suppressed the bond and then asked if you still wanted to serve me? Yeah, I could have, but I won't. Not only is this more fun, but it will also require an actual show of devotion, rather than simply answering a question."

Another reason he didn't want to remind them of right now was the fact they had probably developed a very minor addiction to the pleasure he gave them. By offering a path of pleasure on the freedom choice, he hoped to reduce the weight of that consideration.

Although he knew pleasure and sex would be a major part of their choice either way, he didn't want them to serve him only for that… Simply, because he wasn't technically the only person who could provide that.

Today, he wanted to eliminate any possibly remaining doubts in his mind, or theirs, about their devotion to him, personally… only then would they be allowed to continue leading this religion and take on increasingly important roles in their service to him.

"I hope everything is clear," he smiled, raising his hands. "I wish you two either the strength of will to make it through this hour, or… simply to have fun, if you so choose. I do care about you two, so I'll respect your decision, whatever it is, and wish you the best."

Snapping his fingers, he activated the dildos stuffing their holes. Instantly, a powerful buzzing filled the room and his two victims began to scream and moan behind their gags, their bodies tensing and twitching.

Then, he walked out the room.
