Chapter 73: Bonded to Tayn

By the time the party ends I’m feeling ready to collapse into bed. While Tayn has imbibed in several potent drinks, he barred me from doing likewise. In other circumstances I might feel offended at the prohibition, but my own desire to remain sober, and remember all of the events of today, means that I obey without protest. At least, that’s how I justify my complete submission to Tayn’s command. In reality I suspect the presence of the collar and leash are subconsciously suppressing my free will. Should I be alarmed at the thought? Perhaps ... but I’m feeling strangely euphoric.

I’m not due in heat for another two days, so the opportunity for sex with my new bondmate is confined to flirting and sensual games. In any event, Tayn is showing the effects of too much strong ale. Even if I was in heat, I suspect that his cock would struggle to stay erect for long. Fortunately, Tomyris custom doesn’t expect sex as part of a postceremony consummation. Once the collar and ring are exchanged, then we are a bonded pair in the eyes of the Tomyris, regardless of what follows.

“Now that we are alone, shouldn’t you release me from the leash?” I ask the inebriated Tayn.

“All in good time, my love,” smiles Tayn. “We have all night to explore our desires.”

“And what is your desire, Tayn? ... Or would you prefer me to call you ‘my lord and master’?”

“Hmmm ... that title does have a pleasant ring to it,” smirks Tayn. “But what should I call you in return? Wench? Filly? ... Or do you prefer something more romantic?”

“In the privacy of the bedroom you may call me whatever your male ego desires,” I reply. “However, if you forget that we are equals in the presence of others, then I’ll serve you your balls for breakfast.”

“Do you realise how incredibly sexy you sound when you assert your authority like that, Wench,” purrs Tayn. “No wonder the Tomyris respect your every thought.”

I’m not sure how much the strong drink is affecting what Tayn says. While Jaro, Hinano and the others politely listen to my ideas, I don’t consider myself to be a leader of the Tomyris community in any sense of the word. Following my recent conversation with Jaro, and our renegotiation of the use of the Esmeralda, I’ve relinquished any hold my expedition had over the ship’s activities.

While I’m struggling for a rejoinder to Tayn’s comment, he pulls on my leash and I’m drawn close to his naked chest. I forget any witty reply and opt for pushing him backwards onto the bed. I unfasten my blouse, exposing my tits. Despite my not being in heat, there’s enough chemistry working between us to enable some sexual play.

Tayn needs no further prompting to cup my tits in his hands. Meanwhile I work on the buttons of his breeches. His cock is flaccid, which is only to be expected without my sexual pheromones to trigger an erection. Normally an Elf Maiden can only emit the powerful pheromones when she’s in heat. However, I’ve previously discovered that I can emit a weak scent at other times when I’m suitably aroused. I kneel down and take Tayn’s cock into my mouth. Despite its lack of rigidity, we both gain some pleasure from the act. My nipples go hard in response to Tayn’s work on my tits. I start feeling aroused, but I need to push my body further if I’m going to achieve an orgasm, and emit the weak scent that will hopefully trigger Tayn’s cock into an erection.

Tayn moans in delight as his hands leave my tits in order to start undressing me. I don’t resist, although it foils my attempt to push myself deeper towards and orgasm. He reaches for my collar as though he’s about to unfasten my leash. I know it’s what I asked him to do earlier, but I sense the emotional impact the leash is having on my arousal.
