An unspecified fantasy setting somewhere in medieval Europe.
The Gray Duke is a ruthless and power-hungry conqueror, warrior and overlord with an army of equally tyrannical and merciless
soldiery helping him slowly to subdue the surrounding fiefdoms and unite them into one country. Two of his victims, poles
apart socially but bonded by their desire for revenge, end up in a partnership to plot against him.
This is a longer piece with considerably more character background than usual, working on the premise that the erotic
elements are more effective if you've had longer to associate and empathize with the figures involved. As always, I'm
interested to know whether this works for you or not...
The idea is that these scenes should normally be read in sequence (each one contains a link to the next). Several are marked as "no sex", but are still an integral part of the storyline, building up the tension and so forth. But if for example you don't like the rape scenes or the somewhat bloodier stuff (the violence is action-movie material, incidentally, not torture or snuff - not my thing), you can pick and choose from the list below.
