Investigate the night-stand.

There it is. The black jewel. Object of tonight's adventure. I creep towards it, silent as a mouse, intending to filch it and be away before anyone finds out I was there. All I need is for Lady Rinelda to stay asleep just a little bit longer.

I reach out my hand, and someone grabs my wrist. Lady Rinelda opens her dark eyes and looks at me.

"Ah," she says. "A little sneak-thief."

I think fast. "Sorry to disturb you, milady. Just getting you a new glass of water."

"Nonsense. You're not dressed like a maid. You're a little thief."

I try to pull away, but her grip is supernaturally strong. She smiles at me. "Yes, a thief. And little thieves need to be punished, don't they? Take off your clothes."

"What?"

"I'd like you nude, girl. Get on with it."

She lets go of my arm so my hands can begin fiddling with the hem of my shirt. I try to resist but there's a look in her eyes, dark and compelling. I can't stop myself from obeying her will, no matter how much it might humiliate me. I pull off my shirt, unclasp my bra, unlace my boots, strip off my breeches and slip out of my panties. I stand before her, shivering in the cool breeze from the window, extremely conscious that I've just undressed for the pleasure of a total stranger. My strawberry nipples, my pert bottom, the ginger curls between my legs are all on display for her amusement.

She grins as she eyes me up and down, delighting in my discomfort. "Oh, no, does that embarrass you? Don't you like being my little toy? Too bad." She lifts her sheets, inviting me to crawl under the covers with her. I can't stop myself from slipping into her bed. Her hands go to my breasts and she plants feathery kisses across my face and neck while she plays with my nipples, expertly tweaking and toying with me. I hate to admit it, but it feels divine. Still humiliating, though.

She parts her legs and raises her night-gown. "Get down there and lick my pussy, my naked little toy. Do it well or I'll have you spanked. You're going to spend the rest of the night entertaining me."
