Out of the frying pan

Jana crawled towards the doorway, somehow the guard never noticed her disappear into it, the door closed behind her.The room was quite dark ,it took her eyes a couple of moments to adjust , a woman, the hand at the door, held out the same to her now, helping her back to her feet

"oh my poor child, what ever could you have done to have a guard chase you so" the words were honeyed and accompanied by her stroking Jana's hair.

The woman appeared to be in her mid thirties, quite attractive but used oils and dyes to improve her looks, a thin black dress clung to her every curve, she certainly kept in good shape.

"Come child, you are shaking like a leaf"

Jana was led into the next room , a mixture of spices and herbs filled her nose, not unpleasant but certainly pungent, she was sat in a huge armchair ,that she sank into deeply, her saviour walked to a cabinet, an almost hypnotic sway to her hips , lifting a metal carafe she poured into two goblets,picking both up she turned and smiled at Jana offering one to the young thief.

"Drink it will calm your nerves" she tipped her own goblet to her mouth, swallowing deeply

Looking at the goblet Jana then watched as the woman drank, she sniffed at the red liquid, it certainly smelt like wine, she took a sip ,tasting it , the liquid warmed her tongue and a vague spice aftertaste, it did indeed settle her nerves, she took a bigger sip savouring the taste.

It started with a tingle, then a warm glow followed by a wetness deep in her loins, she looked at the wine, the woman smiled as Jana also felt her nipples harden ,dropping the goblet she made to stand, instead falling forward at the feet of the woman.

" It wasn't the wine dear one" the woman crouched once again stroking Jana's hair " the fumes in this room have a very important task"

Jana could only sigh as her vision went black
