sarissandra

	Sarissa thudded off of the backboard of the bed, a ragdoll pushed about by her superior, none other than Kassandra Leyveiltail. In her left hand was a small staff decorated with a dull sapphire at the tip, and in her right was a wineglass, with not even a drop of its deep, red contents spilled. Lady Leyvelitail was a truly well-composed woman, something Sarissa could not help but admire, as she approached Sarissa.
	"Did you enjoy the drink, Sarissa?" Kassandra's feelings were frankly unreadable- Was she angry at Sarissa? Disappointed in her? Amused at her boldness? "You did serve it, after all."
	"I- Er, well, that is," Meanwhile, Sarissa stumbled over her own words, attempting to reach a response that would best satisfy Lady Leyvelitail. "Y-yes...?"
    "Ah, that is good," Kassandra smiled, raising the wineglass close to Sarissa's face. "You see, I'm not quite thirsty right now, and I would loathe wasting such good drink. Perhaps you might be interested in having some more...?"
	"Oh, well, um, ah, no, it's quite-"
	"I insist." Sarissa's attempt at damage control was marred by a rude jab to her stomach with the staff, and she found herself unable to protest, as the drink was forced down her mouth, a few drops dribbling down along her chin. A violent throbbing now knocked on her skull, and Sarissa's hand clutched her head, keeping her from falling onto Kassandra.

	"Sloppy as always, Sarissa. Must I clean up after you?" The wineglass set aside on a small table nearby, Kassandra made her next assault on Sarissa's neck, with well-placed and well-spaced pecks cleaning her of what remained of the drink. Wherever Kassandra's lips touched her, she felt an intense burning sensation that felt oddly pleasurable, yet no sound was born of her gasps at this foreign invasion of her body. "What's the matter? Did you know not what you poured out?"
	A rhetoric pause lingered, and already Sarissa longed for more of Kassandra's touch, to consume her whole body in that fire.
	"Allow me to explain," Sarissa's chin was lifted up, and the two now faced each other. Try as she might, Sarissa's eyes could not stop gazing into the dark abyss that simply smiled back at her. "I am unsure as to how you had come upon this, but it is an easily-identifiable aphrodisiac that increases the body's sensitivity. How clever of you, to try disguising it with the wine, but your motions were too obvious."
	It was at this moment that Sarissa opened her mouth, the silencing enchantment from that staff wearing off, and Kassandra silenced Sarissa with a kiss on the lips. However transient, the two were together in that moment. The fire spread from her head, down to the rest of her body, subjecting it to a pleasure that only mounted higher and higher.
	Then Kassandra pulled away, breaking the kiss and Sarissa, the fire frozen into ashes that stabbed at her from the inside out, devoid of that feeling once more.
	"Please, Kass, more..." Her hand reached out for Kassandra, looking to her for guidance, for help in these times, as Sarissa always did.
	"And indulge your folly?" Kassandra's expression turned to a glare, seething with disappointment. "No. I will leave you here, without me to help. For your misconduct, punishment is all that you deserve. Remain here, alone."
	With that, she turned away and left, locking the door behind her as she left.
	Alone...
	Alone, and without Kassandra.
	Alone, and without Lady Leyvelitail.
	Alone, and without the one who had given her life meaning.

	How foolish of her. Why did she think that something as impermanent as that would work with Kass? No, what Sarissa was after was something else. But what? What did she desire from Kassandra, aside from her gentle, yet firm, hand? It did not do her well to think of such matters. Night had long since fallen, covering all in darkness. For now, she would sleep.

	"What are you doing, Sarissa?" Kassandra's hand clapped onto her shoulder, a leaden weight that denied escape.
	"...Huh?" Her response came dumbfounded, as if unsure as to whether or not someone was truly speaking to her. "Oh, I'm uh, looking for Kass."
	"Don't give me that answer," Kassandra sighed, turning Sarissa around and pinning her against a wall, such that she faced her. "I came back here, because I heard that for the last few days, you've been doing NOTHING but wandering around aimlessly, giving that answer to anyone who asked you that question. It seems I'll need to teach you a lesson."
	Her hand slipped between Sarissa's thighs, intruding upon laced undergarments. She let this pass, even guiding Kassandra's hand to its destination.
	"Please, do it," Sarissa whispered, now pulling her close, the disparity of their assets showing as their chests clashed. "I want it to be you to bring me there."
	Kassandra made quick work of such a simple task, her fingers sliding in and out of Sarissa's precious little flower, already wet from Sarissa's attempts earlier that day, it seemed. Her moans came loudly, so full of joy that Kassandra would indulge in the girl's desires.
	"How inelegant of you, Saris. You pretend to be full of grace, but you wanted to be reduced to this, didn't you?" Kassandra leaned in, muffling her declarations of bliss with a kiss. She truly had Sarissa around her two fingers, which made her shock from pulling out of her flower all the more delightful, just when it gripped around her the tightest.
	"K-Kass, please, bring me there," Sarissa broke the kiss, pleading a hopeless case. "I can't do it, without you. I've tried, and I can't get you out of my mind. Please! Please, let me this one-"
	"That you say this," Kassandra frowned, her other hand darting to within her robes. "That is the reason why I stop here. You know such a thing to be forbidden. If you can endure this much, then you will surely be able to stand by my side."
	She felt the end of a staff striking her in the stomach, and at once she felt a sudden weight upon her shoulders beckoning her to sleep. As she crumpled to the ground, she grasped at Kassandra's last words, before she left.
	"You deserve something better."
