A Caged Bird!! A Royal Paw Fetish!?
Gina the griffon closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Standing in front of her was the royal manor of Trotsylvania. They had recently started searching for domestic workers after the previous one had resigned undisclosed reasons. Though working for nobles would certainly be challenging, it would also certainly pay quite well, if the advertisements were to be believed.
She had applied earlier in the month and was lucky enough to be accepted, all that was left was to do was meet the royalty in person. Though she was anxious about working for such a high status, she steeled her nerves and walked forward, knocking on the massive door.
After a minute or two of waiting, the door finally opened, and Gina was soon face to face with a unicorn. Her coat was a radiant blue, her long flowing mane a brilliant amber. “Yes? What business do you have here?”
“My name is Gina... I had recently done an-”
“Oh, you’re Gina? You’re the one who wanted to work here, right?” The mare asked, seemingly scanning her from head to toe.
“Yes, that’s right,” the griffon nodded. “You’re Duchess Sapphire Locket, correct?”
“The very same,” she said with a smile. “Come in, we have much to discuss.”
As Sapphire lead Gina through the foyer, she started looking around. She had seen pictures of the interior of the manor, but to actually be inside was breathtaking. The walls had family portraits with frames bigger than her, along with priceless family heirlooms that were centuries old. Hanging from the ceiling was a chandelier with what must have been a thousand tiny gems hanging down. It was daunting just to be near most of the expensive objects. One accidental trip or stumble and she may be in debt for three lifetimes.
Sapphire brought Gina into one of the meeting rooms, where they sat across from each other at a desk.
“Now, you are quite certain you want to be a domestic worker here, correct?” Sapphire asked. “This is not an easy job to take, and we do expect exceptional performances from our workers. If you choose to decline now, I hold no ill will against you.”
“I’m sure,” Gina said, determination in her eyes. “It would be an honor to serve this noble household, Your Grace!”
“Very well, I appreciate your enthusiasm,” Sapphire smiled, before pulling out a thick scroll and a pen from the desk. “Now, I need you to sign this contract, and we can get you started soon.”
Gina gives the contract a brief scan. All of it seemed like standard stuff as far as employment contracts went, she felt no need to investigate further. She signed her name at the bottom.
“Excellent.” Sapphire took the contract back, putting the scroll and pen back in the desk. “Now, as one of the servants, you will be living here for the foreseeable future. Your payment will be delivered to you biweekly, and you are free to do whatever you like on your days off. Is that understood?”
“Yes, Your Grace,” Gina nodded.
“Good,” she said, smiling brightly. “As long as you understand, we should have no problems. Now, upstairs and on the west wing, your room will be the fifth door on the left, wait there, and you will be fitted into your work outfit. We shall start your employment immediately.”
“Thank you, it’s an honor to work for you, Your Grace!” Gina said with a grin, before walking out of the door, trying to get to her room. The massive scale of the manor made it easy to get lost in. She hoped that she would be granted a little leeway for her first few days as she tried to find her way around the manor.
Luckily, she found her way to her room with relative ease. When she walked in, she was stunned with what she saw. With the queen-sized bed and leather furniture, it felt like a deluxe hotel room. Following orders, Gina sat down on her bed and waited for her outfit.
It was short wait, as two ponies entered her room. The two unicorns had black dresses with a white lace trim, the length of their skirt reaching just below their knees. They began to measure Gina’s body, not saying a word to her as they forced her body into poses and wrapped measuring tape around her limbs.
Gina allowed the unicorns to measure her body. Though she didn’t protest, she was curious about their methods. They spent a significant amount of time measuring her paws, more than the rest of her body. More than that, they poked and prodded her paw pads, making her giggle ticklishly. It was odd that they spent so much time measuring her paws. Perhaps it was because she was a griffon, and they needed to double check because of her different proportions. Once the unicorns were finished, they promptly left.
After ten more minutes of waiting, she was presented with her uniform, a dress similar to the ones the unicorns that measured her were wearing. She slowly put on the black stockings, making sure not to accidentally rip it with her claws or talons. She slipped into her dress, wiggling her body in it, trying to get comfortable wearing her new outfit. Walking in high heels wasn’t something she was used to, but it was something she had to learn quickly in order to work here.
Soon, Gina was sent to work. Her tasks were usually small things, like dusting the bookshelves in the study, wiping down the tabletops, or folding the laundry. Sapphire Locket was usually nearby, monitoring her work, telling her what to do next and guiding her to the next room.
Sapphire was firm in her commands, but she was nice and friendly. Though her jobs were physically exhausting, Gina felt like she could at least enjoy her time working for the Duchess.
Near the end of the day, Gina was at the end of her work hours. She was about to make her way back to her room to rest, but Sapphire’s voice had stopped her.
“Oh, Gina, do you mind if we talk for a bit?”
“Yes, Your Grace?” Gina replied, turning around and bowing.
“I want to reward you for a successful first day. Here, I’ll get drinks for us, you sit down at the table and rest your aching paws, alright? I’ll get some wine.” Sapphire said with a friendly tone.
“T-Thank you, Your Grace.” Gina went to the dining room, sitting down at the table she had just cleaned a few hours ago. She was surprised that the Duchess herself had decided to reward her.
Sapphire soon returned with two wine glasses filled with red wine. “Consider it a treat from me,” she said, placing one in front of Gina.
“Thank you, Your Grace,” Gina smiled, taking a sip from the glass.
“Please, just Sapphire is fine when you’re not working,” Sapphire said. ”So? Are you learning your way around the manor?”
“It’s pretty big, but I’ll memorize where everything is soon enough.”
“That’s good, you’re doing a wonderful job for your first day, I hope to see quality work like that in the future, you know.”
Sapphire and Gina continued to converse into the evening. Though as time went on, Gina started to feel more and more fatigued. Earlier, she was full of energy, but now she felt sluggish and exhausted.
“What’s the matter, Gina? Are you feeling tired?” Sapphire asked, tilting her head to the side.
“Y-Yes… I’m sorry Your Grace, b-but I think I should g-get to bed…right...now...”
Gina stood up, trying to walk back to her room. She only made it a few steps before she collapsed onto the floor. Rolling over, she tried to sit up, but found the strength sapped out of her. Her eyelids felt heavy, she saw Sapphire stand over her as she fought to stay awake. She tried to reach out to have Sapphire pull her up, but couldn’t find the strength to lift up a claw. Before her vision went dark, Gina swore she saw a grin on Sapphire’s face.
When Gina opened her eyes again, she didn’t know where she was. Wherever she was kept was dimly lit, the only light coming from a few torches on the walls.
Upon realizing the predicament she was in, she tried to scream. Unfortunately, the ball gag shoved into her beak kept her from calling for help properly.
Gina’s tried to struggle, but she was wrapped tightly in place. Several leather straps were wrapped tightly around her body. Four of them kept her legs and ankles bound tight together, two kept her arms close to her sides, five kept her wings closed. One looped between her cleavage, down to her crotch, and back up, connected to the one underneath her armpits and across her chest. Two straps connected to the one across her chest were tied to cables, suspending her from the ceiling. The more she struggled, the more the strap at her crotch rubbed against her nethers. Her hands were covered in thick rubber mitts, so that her sharp claws had no chance of helping her break free.
The straps were wrapped uncomfortably tight around her body, squeezing her body even when she tried to be as still as possible. Struggling didn’t help, as any rapid movement turned that discomfort into pain. Tight enough to hurt, but not enough to cut off circulation. Though it hurt to struggle, staying still wasn’t an option for her at the moment.
Gina started to panic, her heart-rate starting to accelerate. Dozens of questions ran in her mind. Who could’ve done this to her? Where was she? Why did she get so tired? Did someone drug her? Why would anyone do this to her?
In the middle of her panic, Gina heard something other than the crackle of the torches’ flames. The sound of approaching footsteps the stone floor. She turned her head as much as she could, trying to see who was coming.
“Ah, you’re awake now. I was hoping that the tranquilizer also worked on griffons.”
Gina let out a muffled gasp. She recognized that voice. It was unmistakably Sapphire Locket’s.
“Yes, this must come as a bit of a shock to you, but I can’t quite reveal where this dungeon is, and taking you here while you slept naturally would’ve been too risky,” Sapphire casually explained, standing in front of Gina, wearing a more casual lounge outfit.
“Whht? Whht dhngmhn?” Gina asked, her concerns muffled by the gag.
“I must admit, I’ve never played with a griffon before, I’ve only toyed with pony maids, so this will be a fun experience for the both of us.” Sapphire said, in the same friendly tone she used before.
“Plhh? Whht hrrm nnhh ghnnh dh?”
“Just because I’m royalty doesn’t mean I don’t have needs,” Sapphire scoffed, starting to remove Gina’s high heels, casually tossing them aside. “Unfortunately, going out in public might raise some sort of scandal, so my maids will have to make do.”
“Whnt, whht?!”
“I put it in the contract that I can just take my maids to the dungeon as personal playtoys whenever I want, maybe you should be a little more careful with what you read,” Sapphire smirked, her fingers underneath Gina’s paws. “Or perhaps you did see it, and signed up anyway. I don’t mind either way.”
“Whnt! Nnnhhr Grhhgm, plmmhfm!” Gina begged, trying to look down to see what Sapphire doing. Though with her position, all she could see was the top of Sapphire’s head.
“I have to be honest, these paws have been teasing me ever since I saw them! I just can’t resist anymore!” Sapphire squealed, poking and prodding at Gina’s still-stockinged paws.
Gina’s toes curled up. Seeing Sapphire only raised more questions in her mind. Was this really what Sapphire was like? Was she only hired because she was enamored by her paws?
“Now, I wonder how sensitive griffon paws are compared to pony feet…” Sapphire giggled, slowly dragging her fingers up her feet, looking up at Gina to see her squirm.
Gina flinched, starting to giggle through the gag. Her toes started to wiggle as Sapphire’s fingers moved against her stockinged paws.
“Ooh, that’s a good start…” Sapphire said to herself, her fingers starting to pick up speed, skittering over the bottom half of her paws.
Gina’s giggles quickly became muffled laughter, her body started to jump in the straps, only causing more uncomfortable rubbing against her crotch. Her paws were the one thing that could effectively move freely, and they thrashed about as much as they could, trying to slap Sapphire’s teasing hands away, if only for a moment.
Sapphire continued to tickle Gina’s dangling paws, no matter how much they squirmed, Sapphire’s fingers kept following, rarely breaking contact if ever. It would have been easy to just tie her feet together to prevent flailing, but it was more fun to see Gina’s feet try to get away. “My, Gina, you’ve got quite the ticklish pair of paws! But I wonder...” she cooed, her fingers inching closer to her paw pads.
Though Gina couldn’t see Sapphire’s hands at her paws, she could feel where they were headed. She shook her head rapidly, her muffled laughter getting more panicked in response.
Sapphire’s wiggling fingers made their way to Gina’s paw pads, one hand wiggled against the pads, the other poked and prodded.
Gina let out a squeal behind the gag, her pupils shrunk when she felt her sensitive pads touched. Her toes curled up in response, trying to get away from Sapphire’s fingers while moving as little as possible.
“Ooh, Gina’s got some ticklish paw pads, huh? A-tickle tickle tickle...You’re such a ticklish birdy...” Sapphire teased, grabbing hold of the toes on one paw, holding them back so her foot couldn’t squirm, and started attacking Gina’s exposed paw pads.
Tears started streaming down Tina’s cheeks. While tickling wasn’t the worst possible torture she could’ve been put through, it didn’t help the fact that she was still ticklish and that her paws were quite sensitive. The more Sapphire tickled her paws, the more Gina squirmed, causing the tight straps to squeeze tighter. Her body was unsure whether to laugh in hysterics, or cry out in pain.
Much to Gina’s relief, Sapphire stopped tickling eventually. Unfortunately, that didn’t mean that Sapphire was done playing with her. “Well, my servants were right. You’ve got quite the sensitive pair of paws. That’ll just make playing with you even more fun!” she said cheerfully.
“Plmhfm...nh mhrm…”
Sapphire’s horn started to glow, a small riding crop appearing in mid-air. She twirled the shaft between her fingers. “Careful, honey. This might sting a bit,” she said, spanking Gina’s paws with a flick of her wrist.
Gina winced once the first strike hit her paws. The second one against her paw pads made her jolt in pain. Three strikes in, and she already missed the tickling.
Sapphire continued to smack Gina’s paws, whipping a spot repeatedly until it turned aching red from the pain. Then she would change where she would strike and begin anew.
Gina tried not to move around too much, but when Sapphire started whipping her paw pads, she started jolting, her body trying to fight the squeezing straps with painful results.
Sapphire gave one more smack to Gina’s toes, before crouching down to admire all the marks her whipping left.
“Now, hopefully by now the next toy has warmed up. Do be a good girl and stay there while I get it, would you?” Sapphire said before walking behind Gina, leaving her alone once more.
Gina remained still, dangling from the straps, feeling her aching paws throb in pain as she had no choice but to wait for Sapphire to come back to her. She tried her best not to think of what was in store for her
Sapphire returned with a miniature charcoal grill, the fire grate removed. Gina looked down as the grill was being rolled underneath her. She could see the orange fire sneaking out past the cracks of the whitening coals. She let out a little muffled whimper.
“Now, let’s see if I can make a slow-roasted bird…” Sapphire said with a dark chuckle, standing back and letting the hot coals do the work this time.
Gina started to panic, shaking despite the pain it caused. Was this really the end for her?
“Oh, it’s just a little joke, dear,” Sapphire chuckled. “Don’t worry, you aren’t in any real danger. I still have more ways to play with you, after all.”
Sapphire’s reassurance didn’t exactly make Gina feel better. The heat from the coals started to rise, hitting her paws and ankles.
Sapphire began pacing around Gina, watching her paws react to the heat, occasionally poking the coal with a fire iron to keep the flame going.
Gina’s toes curled up, trying not to dangle her feet any closer to the fire than they had to be.
Sapphire watched the fire slowly warm up Gina’s paws, admiring how they squirmed and curled against the heat. “Now, you be a good girl and stay there while I get the next toy,” she said, before walking behind Gina, leaving her alone again.
Though the heat from the coals certainly got Gina squirming, what really set her off was the fear that a lone ember would leap out and set her stockings on fire, and by extension, her. As unlikely an event it may have been, she had no idea how long it would take for Sapphire to return, so the heat from the burning coals weren’t the only thing making her sweat.
Sapphire returned once more, this time dragging along a cooler. She pushed the grill out of the way, relieving Gina of its heat.
Gina’s paws dangled one more when she didn’t feel the heat of the fire roasting her anymore. Her body started to relax in relief. Though they quickly tensed up again when Sapphire revealed that the cooler was filled with ice cubes.
Sapphire walked towards a hand crank at one of the dungeon walls. She began turning the crank, and the rope suspending Gina started to lower her into the cooler until she was ankle deep in the ice.
Sapphire crossed her arms, watching with a smirk on her face. Though she couldn’t see Gina’s paws under the ice, she could at least amuse herself with her reactions and muffled screams.
Gina began to hyperventilate under the intense temperature shift. Unlike the fiery coals, the ice made her shiver and shudder, causing more pain as the tight leather straps squeezed her body all over. If she didn’t move, she risked hypothermia, if she did, the straps might squeeze the circulation out of her. It was an unwinnable scenario for Gina, so she kept on kicking, the straps constricting her with every thrash.
After a few minutes, Sapphire raised Gina back up, pushing the cooler towards the grill. “You’re doing well so far. There’s just one more toy that I want to use to play with you…” she said, her horn glowing. This time, a miniature prod appeared in her hand. She pulled the trigger for demonstration, an electrical current ran between the two electrodes at the end.
Gina barely had time to react to the prod before Sapphire started zapping her with it. Her paws were still wet from the ice cooler, so it was much easier for the electricity to go through her wet stockings and paws and to her body.
Sapphire continued to electrocute Gina’s paws with the prod. It didn’t matter what part of her paw she poked, she just wanted to see them twitch and squirm.
Each time the cattle prod’s electrical current got close enough to her paws, she began thrashing. The electricity took control of her body in the brief moments the current passed through. Her muscles contracted, making her body jerk and squirm. The pain of the electricity combined with the squeezing of the straps against her body was too much for her to handle. No matter how much she cried, the cattle prod kept zapping her paws, the electrical current making her body dance.
As a finale, Sapphire held the electrical prod up to Gina’s paws for a solid five seconds, watching as her toes curled and her body jerked.
Gina tried to stop herself from crying, screaming, or thrashing, but as soon as that electrical current was near her, she was no longer in control.
“There, all done,” Sapphire said, casually teleporting the prod elsewhere.
Once she was doing being electrocuted, Gina hung her head low, unable to muster up the energy to keep it up anymore. She let out a weak cry for mercy, though she knew fully well Sapphire wasn’t listening.
“One more thing, as a reward for being such a good toy for your first time…” Sapphire cooed, grabbing the top of Gina’s stockings. With one swift motion, she tore the stockings off, leaving Gina’s paws bare from the ankles down.
Gina blinked in surprise. What torture did Sapphire have in mind that she wanted her paws naked?
Sapphire grabbed onto Gina’s ankles, and started dragging her tongue up her paws, all the way to the toes.
Gina initially flinched, but slowly started to enjoy the reward she’d been given. Gina let out a muted sigh of relief. Her body started to relax as Sapphire’s tongue rolled across her arches.
Sapphire let out a little moan of delight as she continued to worship Gina’s paws, her tongue slipping in between her toes.
Gina felt her tension ease when she fully realized that Sapphire was doing. It didn’t make up for all the hell her paws had been through, but it was a start.
Sapphire started kissing Gina’s paw pads, her thumbs rolling little circles against her arches as she felt Gina’s toes tap against her muzzle.
Gina started to shudder, her body tingled, but in a good way. She tried her best to stay still, not about to let the painful straps interrupt her pleasure.
Sapphire continued to massage Gina’s paws, gently pressing into the tender flesh. Her tongue began circling around each of Gina’s toes, before eventually sticking them in her mouth.
If Gina could smile behind the gag, she could. Sapphire’s thumbs were hitting all the right pressure points. The fact that her paws had been whipped, roasted, frozen, and zapped didn’t matter to her anymore.
Sapphire’s thumbs pressed into her paw pads, gently squeezing them as she sucked on Gina’s toes, her tongue flicking against her toe pads.
Despite the tight wrappings around her body, Sapphire worshipping her paws made her feel relaxed. After all the abuse that had been put on her paws, the little rubs and kisses felt heavenly. Gina’s body started to relax, and before she even realized it, she fell asleep.
When Gina woke up again, she was back in her bed. As much as she hoped what happened to her was a dream, the torn stockings and aching paws proved that last night was a cruel reality.
Without knocking, Sapphire Locket entered her room. “Good morning, Gina!” she sang out, leaning against the door frame. “Sleep well?”
Gina nervously nodded. “Yes, Your Grace…” she said, shrinking away from the Duchess.
“That’s good!” she said, as cheerful as ever. “You better get ready, you’ve still got a busy day of work ahead of you!” She moved over to the foot of Gina’s bed, squeezing her paws under the blanket.
Gina let out a little yelp, pulling her throbbing paws towards her body, practically curling up.
“Ooh, I may be playing with you again quicker if you keep teasing me like that,” Sapphire giggled. “But in all seriousness, you’ll be needed for help soon, I’ll get you a new pair of stockings before tomorrow, so don’t worry.”
Gina gulped. Knowing that Sapphire lusted over her paws made her friendly demeanor terrifying.
“Now, just as a reminder, your contract states that you’re not allowed to disclose anything about your work to anyone, or there will be severe consequences, understood?” Sapphire said, leaning closer towards the griffon, her calm voice hiding the obvious threat.
“Y-yes, Your Grace…” Gina nodded, pulling the covers up higher.
Sapphire instantly perked up again. “Excellent! I’ll be seeing you shortly,” She said, starting to walk out of her room. “Oh, and next time,” Sapphire ”I may not go easy on those cute paws of yours…” she chuckled, before finally leaving Gina alone.
A chill went down Gina’s spine. If that was her version of going easy, she didn’t want to think of what else she’d do.
Gina let out a heavy sigh, throwing the covers off her body. She couldn’t exactly skip work. Though it stung to walk, especially in the high heels, she had to make do.
Though she couldn’t stop Sapphire from taking her to the dungeon to torment her paws, she did hope that next time Sapphire decided to play with her, she’d be a little more gentle.
