The Gift of a Collar - Ch. 35

"What?" Lyra asked surprised.

Kybalo was turning the collar over and around and was inspecting it. "Based on what you told me about your intentions that you finally achieved with your collar, it looks like you wanted to create an effect that would purge the mind of inhibition and modesty. Obviously you took that a bit further with yours, but if this was a prototype, you put in that effect but the runes were inscribed a bit stronger than that. So they purged all thought, not just suppressed inhibitions and embarrassment. But, this is enchanted into azoth. The metal is based off mercury and so is mercurial. That would mean that you could impress upon this a new set of thoughts to replace the one's that were wiped out."

"Huh?" Kaelen asked, seeing that Lyra was pondering what Kybalo was saying.

"I'm pretty sure that this collar could have a new personality queued up into it and the wearer would lose their current personality and gain the new one. The magic isn't strong enough to make the effect permanent, so once the collar came off, the person would be back to their old selves." Kybalo clarified.

Lyra, still not commenting due to her deep consideration, came over and took the collar from Kybalo and began turning it over in her hands and inspecting it in the same fashion he had.

"Will the wearer remember what they did while under the collar's influence?" Kaelen inquired.

"I think so," Kybalo said. "They might feel differently about what they did though."

"What do you mean," Wyxy asked.

"Well, let's say you had a really forceful, modest personality. Then, I put this on you and made you strut around naked..." Kybalo began.

"I already have to..." Wyxy interrupted, playfully.

"... okay fair, but let's assume you didn't and actually had qualms about being naked all the time. If you did all that under the collar's sway and then it came off, you would have been okay with the immodesty under the sway of the collar at the time but then you would feel the embarrassment after the fact once the collar came off."

"Sorta like waking up after a rough night of drinking and debauchery and being ashamed of your actions the night before?" Zara asked.

"Yeah, something like that."

"OH!" Lyra said, finally seeing what Kybalo was saying about her work. "I get it now... so that means the controller ring could be used to implant a whole personality. The magic would fill in any minor gaps, I think, and then when put on it activates, like all the others, and the personalities would swap. The current or main one would get suppressed and the new one would take over. Wow. That's... actually that has some interesting possibilities."

"Like what?" Zara asked.

"Well, it could turn a dominant into a slave. Or make a brat into a submissive that craves the praise and attention that being good earns them. Or whatever you want."

"Could it be used outside of sex games?" Saoni asked. "Like, could you make a normal person into a brutal murderer or a loyal guard into a spy?" Everyone turned and looked at her. Lyra had always known that her creations could be used for all manner of nefarious purposes. Wyxy's was actually the most harmless as all it did was restrict action but Zara's could be used to force someone to commit crimes. Lyra's could be used to turn someone into a willing slave even though they weren't actually willing. Everyone knew the risks of the collars, just no one ever gave those concerns voice. Until now.

"Any of these," Lyra began, "could be used for dark purposes. That's why I'll never mass produce them and I only would give them out to those people I trust. I don't know you well yet, Saoni, but I do know Kyb and I trust he won't abuse this collar. And if he does?" She looked at him pointedly. "There are failsafes that can be used. They are dramatic and drastic, but they are there."

Kybalo just nodded in understanding. Lyra was telling him not to abuse her creation or anyone wearing her creation or she'd deal with it. He had no doubt that she would and could, even if she was enslaved herself.

"Can we test it out?" Saoni asked after the explanation.

"It should be safe to test," Kybalo said.

"I triggered the magic once when I first built it without locking it on but I hadn't thought to code a personality into it so it just blanked out my mind."

"We could," Kaelen chimed in, "But on who? Saoni and Wyxy are pretty submissive already so I don't know that we'd see much change there. Lyra's collar can't come off and I'm not sure the magics should be mixed." As she looked at the two casters in the room, they both shook their heads. They agreed, don't mix the magic effects. "That leaves Zara and, frankly," she said tapping the kitten's crotch plate, "I feel kind of bad that she's been such a test subject so much already."

As Kaelen took in the room, all eyes were on her. As she met Zara's eyes, the kitten just cocked an eyebrow and got a wicked smile.

"Oh no! That's not happening. Not a chance in all the heavens and hells."

"It shouldn't be Mistress," Lyra added. "She'd have to take off the master ring to test it and while I'm growing more okay with all of this, I'd die of embarrassment if I didn't have my collar's influence. I'm standing basically naked in front of an old friend that I knew carried an unreciprocated torch for me. I'm only not freaking out about all of that right now because of my collar."

Everyone nodded and eyes instead turned to Kybalo, the only candidate left.

He sighed. "Fine. I'll volunteer. I'm kind of curious to understand the collar's effect anyway but," he said pointing a finger around the room. "Nothing pushing it too far. I don't doubt you'll all have a bit of fun, but I'm going to remember all of this and I'm going to be pissed if you push the envelope too far."

"That's fair," Kaelen said. "Where's the control ring for it?"

Lyra handed it to Kaelen and Kybalo began loosening his shirt buttons at the top.  

"Saoni, do you want to collar your Master?"  

"Um... not really my thing..." Saoni commented.

"I'll do it!" Zara volunteered. Kaelen looked to Kybalo for his permission and he shrugged agreeably.

"Okay kitten but I'm going to be the one in control, not you."

Zara nodded and picked up the Identity collar and walked over Kybalo. He leaned forward so she could fit it around his neck. The thin collar slid into place easily and, as she pulled the clasp ends together, it resized to fit his neck snugly but not enough to cause any pain or discomfort. Right before she closed it, Kaelen touched the control ring to the collar and willed a submissive personality into the collar's matrix. She nodded toward Zara who smiled and closed the collar.

It glowed faintly white for a moment and his eyes took on a blank stare. Then he looked at Kaelen. "How may I serve you, M'Lady?"

"Take off your shirt and doublet. Then get on your knees." Kaelen ordered. She looked at the slaves around her and shrugged.

As instructed, Kybalo quickly took off his tops and draped them over the workbench. Then he got down on both knees in front of Kaelen and clasped his hands behind his back. Seeing this pose, Zara walked over to the bench and grabbed the azoth's matching wrist cuffs. They were open and ready to be applied. She looked questioningly at Kaelen who just nodded her permission. Zara quickly snapped the cuffs in place around Kybalo's wrists and brought them together. As she did, Kaelen willed them to attach to one another and they obeyed.

"One last bit of fun." Kaelen said. "Kitten, come stand next to me." Zara walked around Kybalo and stood beside her Goddess. Her eyes fluttered as her collar gave her a small reward for her obedience.

"Now, Kybalo, I want you to lower yourself so your backside is on your heels. Then I want you to lean forward and give each of my kitten's feet a kiss to thank her for the restraint.

Again, he obeyed instantly. As he began to settle back, he said "Yes, M'Lady." Then leaned forward slowly so as not to fall off balance with no hands free. Zara stuck out her left foot in front of him and he bent down and gently placed a kiss on the top of her toe knuckles. She swapped feet and he did the same to the right. Then he sat back up.

Kaelen released the bindings on his hands and told him to stand.

"Aw, can't we have more fun with him?" Zara asked.

"No, this was a test of the enchantments, not a play session with him."

Zara pouted but didn't verbally complain. Kaelen was right. This was all meant to be consensual to some degree and Kybalo had clearly drawn a line before agreeing to this.

Once standing, Kaelen walked over and released and removed each wrist cuff, setting it back on the table. Then she pressed the control ring against the collar and willed it too to release. It popped open without resistance and Kybalo blinked as he came back to himself. Kaelen removed the collar and handed it to Lyra who was reaching for it.

Kaelen stepped back and gave Kybalo his space as his mind readjusted. "That was bizarre. Every thought I had fled out of my head when the collar clicked on," he began as he reached for his tunic and began pulling it on. "Then, listening to Kaelen just seemed to make the most sense. I had the thought that obviously she knew what was best for me. I've heard of the submissive headspace that a slave can get into during a good session, but this was deeper than that it felt like."

"I'm just relieved it came off," Kaelen said. She saw Lyra shoot her a look and she put her hands up defensively. "I know you explained why yours doesn't, but I don't actually want to trap any of you permanently."

"Speaking of that, let's make sure..." Kybalo walked over to Saoni and pressed his ring to her collar. After a moment hers popped open. He opened it wide enough to fit around her neck, took it off and then satisfied, immediately put it back on and relocked it.

Lyra just rolled her eyes. "One little mistake..."

"Oh shut up," Kaelen said. She meant it teasingly but the magic interpreted it as a command and wound its way into her tongue barbell and she went silent.

"We're going to have to keep a safe eye on this one." Kaelen said holding the collar.

"Or we could get a new slave for the harem," Wyxy said with a smile.

"You have 3 playmates already. Isn't that enough?" Zara quipped. There was a tinge more vitriol than she expected in her words.

"Yeah, but it's all girls. I know these belts can make a fake cock, but sometimes, there's no replacing the real thing. We could find some handsome man to join us. Give us all a good fucking..."

"We'll talk about that later." Kaelen said, blushing a bit.

"All this talk of toys and submission has got be horny," Saoni blurted out. "Any chance of getting out of this belt and getting fucked?"

"No chance of you getting off, but that doesn't mean fun could not be had." Kybalo said. "Assuming Kaelen's okay with it, her house and all."

Lyra shot him a look as if to complain that it was her house too. He just shook his head and pointed to the collar.

"I don't know that everyone is into the idea of an orgy." Kaelen said, looking over at Lyra. She had repeatedly expressed her disinterest in being around Kybalo in that capacity. Even her current nude/slave state was pushing the boundaries of what she was okay with deep down around him.

"Fair," Kybalo said, not pushing the issue. "What about I take two and you take two. Let me borrow your dungeon and you can use the master bedroom?"

"So I have to give up my dungeon and one of my slaves? Not sure this is in my best interest here."

"Call it a consultation fee for figuring out how your fourth collar works." 

"Fine." She turned to Lyra. "Is there a way you could share control over the trammels between rings. The drawback of having one ring for three slaves is that I can't share you out." When Lyra didn't respond and just looked at her pointedly, Kaelen chuckled. "Oh right, you have permission to speak."

"Yes, Mistress. Kybalo's ring is set up more like an overall master ring, even though he only has one collar. Temporary control can be granted between master rings. Just press the rings together and you can share control. The original master ring still has greater authority though."

Kaelen nodded. "Alright, which do you want?"

He smiled. "Actually, I had an idea. I think my Saoni has a bit of a crush on your Lyra. So what if I took the tails and you took the elves?"

Saoni blushed in surprise. She hadn't realized that Kybalo had picked up on that and was mortified that Lyra knew now. Zara and Wyxy just bit their lips and their tails entwined a bit. Lyra smiled appreciatively at the arrangement.

Kybalo held his ringed fist up. "Deal?"

Kaelen pressed her fist against his, making sure the rings connected. "Deal." They both felt the temporary control shift. Kaelen took Saoni and Kybalo took Zara and Wyxy.

Then, Kaelen made a point of grabbing a pair of the newly fashioned hooks.

Nyntz sat at the table with the moutain-born, Gryb. He'd made sure to have a run in with the simple man in a casual setting after Rixu's skulking about had caught Lyra's cat-folk friend, Zara, coming out of the man's home earlier that morning. Now, as dinner time was concluding at the Dragon's Other Hoard, Nyntz planned to get what details he could out of Gryb. They had just wrapped a card game of Omen, and Nyntz had intentionally played poorly, ensuring a profitable few rounds for Gryb. Now that the game was over, Gryb was in a good mood with his winnings and Nyntz suspected that, plus the plethora of drinks the mountain-born had consumed, would loosen his tongue.

"So, I'm new to the town. And I'm always looking for companionship. What are the woman like around here?" the devious elf leaned in conspiratorially. "I'm sure you've had a conquest or two in the town. Haven't you? What are they like here?"

"Well," Gryb began, "Yeah, there is some cute one's here... there's one that is pretty free with her time, if you know what I mean," he said before pausing to sip his beer. "Her name's Zara... wild little cat-folk. Likes being tied up..."

"That sounds like quite the good time. I'd love for you to tell me *all* about her." He said and gestured to the waitress passing by for another round of drinks. On him.

"I love these piercings," Saoni said as one of Lyra's nipple rings finally popped out of her mouth as she pulled away. Lyra was strapped to the bed, spread eagle. Her tongue barbell silenced her again and her clit piercing has causing increased sensation in all the right places. Saoni was kneeling over her, beside her, with her arms in Kaelen's favorite box bind position. The flame elf flicked her tongue at Lyra's nipple and the sorceress slave just sucked in a gasp of air.

Kaelen was straddling her lover and was gently rocking back and forth. Lyra had a xzonium phallus jutting out from her belt's crotch plate and Kaelen was enjoying the sensation of it filling her. "Mmm," she whispered. "We should get you a set of your own then..."

"If that is my Master's wish..." Saoni said. She was still learning what look was Kybalo's thing. She appreciated the way he'd treated her so far and wanted to reward him by giving all that she could. If there was an aesthetic she could adopt, she'd happily do it. Anything not to have to be with some crueler master.

Kaelen reached down and hooked her finger in Saoni's collar and pulled her up. The new slave scooted closer to her current Mistress. "How can I please you, Mistress?" She said demurely and perfectly submissively.

She didn't audibly answer. Instead, she guided Saoni so she was also straddling Lyra, but with her back pressed up against Kaelen's chest. Kaelen began posting on Lyra's fake cock with more vigor and wrapped her arms around the helpless Saoni and cupped her breasts. She began kneading the slave's nipples between her fingers, which drew out a moan of pleasure. Kaelen pulled Saoni close against her and began biting into her neck below the collar and her shoulder. This triggered more delightful noises from the helpless elf and the bound one underneath both of them began to squirm.

Lyra saw her lover and the new elf rocking on top of her and she was going crazy. This damned belt was made too well and she couldn't feel a thing from it other than the occasional pull against her clit barbell. The belt had latched onto it when applied and it was now gently tugging it as the two rocked back and forth above her.

Lyra drank in the radiant flame elf. Her skin was perfect and unmarred. She was moving in beat with Kaelen now even though it did nothing for her. As Kaelen's hands wandered across the newcomer's body, Lyra was enjoying the view of her breasts bouncing around as she gyrated her pelvis. Kaelen's hand made it down to Saoni's crotch plate and it pulled away slowly. As she did, the xzonium under her hand grew into a phallus. Lyra bit her lip knowing where that was going. There was a plug buried in the ass of both elven slaves and Kaelen had connected them to the xzonium of the other. All the friction Kaelen was feeling and generating on Lyra's false cock was being echoed in the other slave's ass. It explained why Saoni was going so wild. But with this phallus now in Kaelen's hand, Lyra was about to join the pleasure.

Deeper in the manor, the other slaves were having a very different experience. Kybalo had delighted in the layout and toys of the dungeon. He wanted to try everything but first, he said he'd needed to impress upon the slaves that he was in charge. So, he'd thrown them face down on the bed and shoved their heads and hands in the pillories at the foot of the bed. Then, a tight gag had been pulled into each of their mouths. He spread their legs and used the magic of the cuffs to connect them to chains running from the headboard. The end result was that they were also spread eagle, on their stomachs, with their head and hands trapped in pillories dangling over the edge. In this helpless position, they were completely vulnerable. Kybalo acquired the azoth paddle and the flogger that were hung on the basement dungeon's toy rack. He took his time, dragging the flogger across each of their asses and pressing against their belts' front plates. He'd inverted the Xzonium so that both women were full and as horny as could be. He touched and caressed them until they both were curious if the threat of the whip was a hollow one and them the flogger came down. Hard. He'd angled it so it would hit both of them at the same time; the right cheek of one and the left of the other.

Zara jumped and screamed into her gag and Wyxy raised her hips and her ass in the air and cooed. From there, Kybalo began delivering one blow after the other from the flog. He alternated between victims and was focusing attacks completely on their backsides. Kaelen would change it up and strike their shoulders or their thighs as well but Kybalo was singularly focused.

He altered the speed and target so that neither of them could figure out how to predict when the next blow would land. It made it worse. They couldn't prepare and they were bucking and jumping and moaning and screaming as blow after blow landed upon them. It felt like they'd been tortured by that flogger for hours but it had only been a few minutes before the blows finally ended. They lay there wondering and fearing what was next when they were blindfolded with scarves quickly tied over their eyes.

"Now that you know how serious I am, let me explain what's next. One of you is going to take me in your mouth and give the best damn blow job you've ever given. The other is going to get more blows to the ass but this time with this wonderful shocking paddle Lyra created. Now which is going to do which? I'm going to let you decide. You will have two minutes. No talking and no looking at each other." He tugged on their gags and blindfolds to reassert that point.

"So how will you decide? That's up to you. You'll have to see how well you know each other. In two minutes, I'll ask you to point at who's getting punished. If you both point at the same person, then only that person gets punished and the other gets to give me head. As a reward for the both of you after that, I will let you out of those belts for a moment so you can each play with each other. Your Mistress Kaelen told me you aren't allowed to cum, but who knows, that detail may slip my mind in the heat of passion. However, if you are not both pointing at the same person, I'll still get head and you'll both get punished. Good luck."

###

Kaelen was grinding and gyrating with abandon. Her hand wasn't so much as stroking the shaft coming out of Saoni was it was using it to hold on to. But even the squeezing pressure she was applying was somehow translating into a similar sensation in Lyra's backside. She lay there, helpless and unable to move. The chains holding her down were pulled so taut that she barely had any room to adjust. She just had to lay there and take it. Meanwhile, Saoni was feeling the same pounding in her ass that Kaelen was giving herself on Lyra's belt. Plus, Kaelen's other hand had found itself buried in the fire red hair of her new slave and was pulling it hard as she neared her own climax. Saoni seemed to enjoy it more with the restriction and force. Lyra doubted that she was as close as Lyra was, considering nothing was pleasuring her vagina but she seemed to be enjoying herself nonetheless.

"Throat... Mistress..." she croaked out... "Please... grab... my... throat..." Saoni gasped out between thrusts. Kaelen didn't need to be asked again and though she didn't verbally respond, her hand left the shaft protruding from Saoni and came up to her throat. As it did, Kaelen pulled her hair harder and her back more; exposing more of her throat. Saoni gasped and was cut off mid-breath with a choking gurgle. From inside her, a deep moan begged to be released.

Holy shit, Lyra thought to herself.

As Saoni's eyelids began to flutter and she began to sputter, trying and failing to form words, Kaelen bore down as hard as she could and screamed in ecstasy. A powerful orgasm took her and she screamed and clutched Saoni tighter both by the hair and throat. The flame elf arched her back as her Mistress did the same and just gasped. She did not receive an orgasm but through the collar, could feel Kaelen's desires met and was feeling a shadow of that pleasure. Coupled with the physical stimulation she was receiving, her brain lost all ability to string thoughts together.

Kaelen's orgasm lasted longer than usual and when she finally came down, she let go of Saoni and fell to the side of the two. Saoni was left gasping, still straddling Lyra. She looked up and their eyes met. Lyra just smiled and Saoni leaned in and began kissing her. There was a fire there, a warmth, that was different. Saoni's skin was a bit warmer to the touch given her birthright and it made her kiss more sensual. She pulled and teased Lyra's tongue into her own mouth and then pulled back, sucking on it the whole way. Eventually she slid off of it and it fled back into Lyra's mouth. Saoni then reached up and took Lyra's bottom lip in her own and bit down a bit and pulled it away.

"Gods, I want you to just FUCK me," Saoni whispered to the helpless Lyra. The sorceress profoundly agreed with that desire.

###

Zara tried to think as quick as she could. The first instinct was to point to herself to be paddled, that was the selfless act. But wouldn't Wyxy do the same? Neither wanted to see the other hurt. But what if Wyxy was thinking the same thing and then they both pointed at the other. She was torn on what to do but then had the thought that Wyxy was something of a pain slut. She liked the abuse. When Kybalo had hit her she'd made quite pleasurable noises, not screams. Banking on that, she decided to point at Wyxy.

Wyxy did indeed wish to be selfless and didn't consider the point nearly as much as Zara had. She liked the pain and could take it and that would mean Zara wouldn't have to. Plus, she knew Zara liked Kybalo. They'd spoken before of the night he'd tied and fucked Zara and she got a pleased look in her eyes when she recanted the tale. So, Wyxy wanted to give her another chance to be with Kybalo. So, she pointed to herself.

"Unanimous decision it seems, though it would've been more fun if you both picked someone different. So, Wyxy will get the paddle and Zara will get my cock."

He leaned down and undid both blindfolds and then only pulled the gag out of Zara. "I need your mouth for other reasons and Wyxy, I think we'll keep you gagged so you don't make too much noise. Zara, my kitten, you've already had this cock in your mouth and you didn't want to share it with Wyxy. Tsk tsk. Very selfish of you."

He stepped forward and Zara opened her mouth and positioned her tongue to course against the whole shaft as it was buried in her mouth. She was releaved that Wyxy and her had agreed but she had not considered having Kybalo's hard cock in her mouth again when she'd made her choice. Added bonus. He pushed into her throat until he felt the slightest hint of her gag reflex and then started thrusting.

He was just in reach of Wyxy's ass with the paddle and brought it down hard, aimed to hit both cheeks. The paddle discharged a shock into her sensitive skin which added to the impact pain of the paddle and she screamed into her gag and pulled against her restraints to no avail. He brought a second blow down immediately as he thrusted into Zara. The kitten choked and gurgled, the paddle came down on the demon-born ass and again she yelped and jumped. Kybalo kept that pacing going. He would thrust a few times into Zara's mouth and then push in deeper. She would gag or choke and he'd smack Wyxy's ass. He alternated between different areas of her ass but kept the tempo of the strikes fairly consistent.

As he shoved himself into Zara's mouth, he was building towards his climax. He wanted to hold out longer, but she was an expert at what she was doing and knew how to use the rougher texture of her tongue to make the experience all the more pleasurable.

Zara mused that this was the second man in one day that had buried his cock in her mouth and the second bedding that promised no release for her (well, maybe. Kybalo had suggested possibly otherwise but she suspected that was performative. He wouldn't go against their Goddesses wishes). She was locked in this infernal belt and she knew there was no convincing either Master or Goddess to let her out of it for a full release. So why was she so fervent in pleasing them? It was a bit delusional to think she could convince them to let her out. Thinking it through, she realized that there was a different kind of excitement that came from being used and controlled. Being forced to serve others. It was sexual, sure, and if she was given the opportunity to orgasm, it would add to it. But also the forced servitude and denial added together and built and it would make her next release, whenever it did happen, all that much more meaningful and potent.

Her thoughts were interrupted as her Master gave a deeper thrust. He seemed to recognize her mind was wandering and wanted to bring her back to the here and now. She gurgled and refocused her attention on her tongue and the cock laying atop it. She wished she could touch him but she was bound tight. So she tried to bring her tongue up to the sides of his shaft as it pushed in and out of her slobbering mouth.

She looked up at her Master, at least her Master of the moment, and his sight was focusing on Wyxy. All the while she was pleasing him, he was doing his best to destroy Wyxy's ass. The paddle was coming down repeatedly and the demon-born was screaming in a mix of pleasure and pain. Zara realized the quicker she finished Kybalo, the quicker Wyxy's torture would end. Even though she was enjoying it on some level, it was still painful and Zara didn't want to see her lover suffer. So she put everything she had into pushing Kybalo to the end.

She sealed her lips tight as she could to create as much pressure as she could as he thrust. She put every bit of energy she could into having her tongue caress him from inside. She tried to apply more sensation by doing her best to suck on him. The efforts were rewarded as his thrusting pace increased. Knowing what was about to happen, she closed her eyes and tried to open her throat.

He erupted with a scream.

The paddle came down one last time on Wyxy's ass, hard. She too, screamed. Zara tasted and swallowed burst after burst of his salty seed. She tried to ingest it all but there was so much and she couldn't take all of it that fast. A bit found its way to her lips and broke past the seal and dribbled out. He held himself deep in her mouth as the orgasm faded, being sure to dump all of his cum into her before finally pulling back and stumbling into a nearby chair.

"Holy... shit..." was all he said as he looked at Zara salaciously licking her lips and making sure nothing spilled on the floor. He looked then at Wyxy, there was tears streaming down her face and he was worried for a moment that he took it too far, but then she opened her eyes and looked at him and he saw unbridled passion burning in her eyes.
