Prologue
The Dungeon
The air in the dungeon was drafty and dank with a dusty, coppery smell like old
blood. Gisella shivered as it swirled around her bare ankles, seeking a way up under the
gauzy split skirt she was wearing. The skirt’s split came up well past her thighs and
showed the barely there wisp of silk that was supposed to serve her as panties. In
reality the tiny scrap of fabric barely covered the slit of her sex before it narrowed to a
slender string that disappeared between her freshly shaven pussy lips.
The top of her outfit was scarcely more decent. A see-through blouse woven of the
finest silk was pulled tight over her full breasts. The pink buds of her nipples, made into
hard little points by fear as much as the chilly dungeon air, were clearly visibly through
the thin fabric. Anyone seeing her would have assumed that she was dressed for a
seduction—but who or what was she supposed to seduce in the dark and sinister
dungeon Gisella wasn’t sure.
She took another step forward, her slippered feet grating against the dusty stones,
aware that the door behind her was locked and there was no going back. To one side
she saw a huge four-poster bed piled high with rich quilts and thick mattresses. The
sight surprised her—why should a prisoner have such rich sleeping arrangements? And
was this where the seduction was to take place?
Not daring to think about the answer, Gisella made her way deeper into the
labyrinth of darkness lit only by a few small torches that hung at intervals along the
walls. There was something else in the far corner, a pile of something ivory and white
that gleamed dully in the weak light and caught her attention. She walked cautiously
forward and stopped, one hand flying to her mouth.

Taming the Beast
Bones. The ivory and white pile was composed of well-cleaned bones. Human
bones.
The scream rising in her throat was cut off by a deep voice close by her left ear.
“So you’re the latest victim. Welcome to the lair of the beast, my lady.”
