Peel the chains from her limbs

You wonder if she meant 'anything' the way your sex obsessed mind interpreted it, shaking your head like a great dog coming in from the rain you focus instead on releasing your companion from the bonds that are holding her down. Before you try anything drastic you tentatively try to unwrap the coils from her closest leg.

Cassia's eyes widen in surprise when she feels you experimentally pull at the magical silver cord that is wrapped four times around her slender ankle. Perhaps she had meant 'anything' just like you had understood it after all. However, with the decision made it is not as hard as you thought it would be to push aside the dark desires you have been fighting. Knowing that you are capable of behaving honorably, even if it surprises Cassia pleases you more than it should. You too have a surprise; although the bindings look like they could hold a bull it is easier to pull loose the intricately braided silver chains than the buckles on your armor. Once free of her limb, the silver chain snakes back into the bed frame with only the slightest touch from your fingers.

The three other coils lose their hardness just as easily as the first one and they too withdraw into the bedframe leaving Cassia curled up in a ball on the circular bed, her slender frame shuddering as you lay your hand on her shoulder.

"I thought...I'm sorry Adonis I thought you were going to fuck me." Her eyes are half-closed as she remembers the recent events. "I thought you were going to ravage me like you were fucking those demons." She bursts into tears. Drawing her into your arms, you hold her tight afraid to say anything that might come out wrong. There is still a pulsing need that fills this strange room, but now that you are ready for it, you can fight the growing desire.

"I know Cassia, I know." You hold her gently in your arms. cradling her against your chest as she weeps. "You warned me about these catacombs, but I failed. I am no good to you, not anymore." Cassia shifts slightly, twisting in your arms until her teary eyes can look at you through her thick lashes.

"Adonis, I don't think I can fight this any longer." Desire surges through you and you feel your resolve weaken.

"You said our innocence would protect us ..." your voice trails off as you realize that your innocence is now gone. Cassia, it seems has reached the same conclusion.

"There's nothing we can do to change what has happened, Adonis." She bites her lip between her white teeth before meeting your eyes boldly.

"But that particular concern is now no longer an issue."

"I'd ruin you ... you could no longer serve in the temple of Apollo."

"I don't care." Your protests are getting weaker and weaker and this time when Cassia lifts her lips in invitation you take what is offered. When the kiss ends she stops you with a nervous question.

"You do care about me a least a little bit, right Adonis?" You guess that no virgin wants to give away her prize to a man who wants her just for sex, but luckily for you this is an easy question to answer.

"I love you more than anything, Cassia." You assure her, wishing for just a moment that you had to words of a poet to express the depth of your feelings. Your fervent answer however seems to be more than enough to convince the nervous young woman because with a soft moan of desire she lays back on the bed.
