ike punishment, but much of what is considered barbed and torturous is, to me, as fine a heaven as lying on a bed of rose petals. When your body is as alive as it is now, all manner of stimulation only makes it aspire to more. Your pleasure rides such beautiful waves of intensity. Don’t think of your fears or worry of pain—just follow the thread of your physical need to its end and you’ll enjoy such satisfaction that you’ll wonder why you gave yourself so fully to your virginity.” Charlotte pressed her palm to Rosaura’s vulva again, feeling another wave of physical sensation building there.
“This is true?” The girl still seemed skeptical
“It is. I swear. I came to Ilusia against my will and yet, I found this the one truth that has not failed me since I became part of this world. I still relish my surrender. And you, who have been part of this place all your life, cannot possibly escape its joys. You wouldn’t want to deny yourself.”
“No. I want to deny nothing.”
Charlotte could only smile hearing these thoughts pour from the gentle virgin. It seemed that her own freedom was within her grasp. Keep on, she told herself. Keep on.
The two lay languishing in their silence for sometime until Charlotte finally rose from the bed. She would have liked to spend her afternoon making love to this innocent temptress, but this was not her duty. She needed to remain fixed on the outcome she desired and not become too taken by other appetites.
“My lady Charlotte, you have turned my mind so wholly. My entire being has been so opened to my need… but where do I take it now? How do I learn the requirements for loving a man like Mountbane?” She was rising to her feet, still self-conscious of her nakedness, and now groping the floor to retrieve her clothes.
“The prescription is very simple. You will have to face the trials in an Ilusian dungeon—better sooner than later. You’ll want Caius in the castle dungeon. I assure you he is the best of training masters. He and his slave, Loria, trained me.”
“I simply offer myself to him?”
“Oh, heavens no!” Charlotte exclaimed. “You go to Mountbane and ask his permission. Since you have no husband, master or fiancé now—and your father would certainly not approve—Mountbane would have to sponsor your indoctrination and the exercises. This could be very good—especially if you set your heart on him.”
“But then he’d know my own heart?”
“And why shouldn’t he?”
“I fear giving too much away,” she offered with a coquettish smirk.
“Give nothing away, dear, but your body. Oh, your mind, your heart and feelings will soon follow your flesh and bones into the dungeon rites, but you can guard against revealing all of your cravings. And I assure you, if Mountbane truly desires you, there is no better place for you to seduce him. He relishes highborn women on their knees, and then in the poses you will learn. Give him half as much in desire as you exposed today, you’re bound to have the results you wish.”
“I’m not sure what I wish for my future,” Rosaura sighed as though this was much too complicated.
“You desire love, my dear, and the surrender of your body to its passions.”
Rosaura smiled.
What a fine prize she would be in Mountbane’s treasure chest, Charlotte mused to herself. Certainly, the girl would be a more compliant slave than she ever was. The Lord had once said that he wanted Charlotte’s fiery spirit; but he lied. He wanted a doting princess like this virgin would become. He required that Ilusian attribute of women that made them accept their fate with grace and not a rancorous spirit.

“She will come to you, milord, and ask permission to be trained in Caius’ dungeon,” Charlotte spoke to her husband candidly as they strolled the west portico that evening.
The man smiled. “You’ve done well.”
“And I am not finished,” she said.
“You like this task, I see?”
“I’ll do it well because I want my release. But, yes, I do find myself enthralled by the prospect of training this virgin for your service. It inspires me.”
“You’re inspired? How fine for you. But not until I’m poised with the prize ready to be initiated into my world as my new wife will you be freed.”
“Are you sure you want another wife?”
“It gives me greater reign.”
“No one has greater reign than you.”
“I like the title husband, then. It doesn’t matter to you. It’s what I want.”
“Then, of course, proceed.”
