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.”
