Golden Erotic Tales (volume one) (episodes 1, 2, 3, and 4) by M.A. Thomas Page A

In
order to break her curse I had to lie with a princess. I knew you
would agree to anything I asked for. You were at the bottom of a
well. I had to try.”
“You’re disgusting.”
    I wanted to protect you.
How could I defend you as a frog? I needed to redeem myself.”
“You and I are no more,” she said, hoping
the earth would open below her and swallow her.
“I can’t breathe without you,” he
said.
“Then you will die,” she said.
“Enough!” a woman’s voice said.

“You’re here to ask my forgiveness. I will
not stand here for a second more listening to a spoiled princess
and a pathetic, guilty vampire arguing about things I care not
about. Now, both of you kneel in front of me.”
“Are you Stiltz,” Lela asked.
“If you say my name again, you’ll never see
your father again!”
The witch was not at all how Lela imagined
her. She was beautiful with long black hair, soft facial features
and a curvy body.
“Forgive us, “Eldrich said, kneeling.
“Seeing you like this makes me wonder why I
ever wanted to lie with you. A vampire kneeling in front of a
witch. Sad, so very sad. Yet here you’re,” the witch said to
Eldrich.
“Forgive us, please forgive us for hurting
you,” Lela said.
“Do you have a problem following orders?
You’re not a princess here. The mountains belong to witches.”
“I’m sorry, it won’t happen again,” Lela
said, getting on her knees.
“That’s better. Now then, let’s get
started,” she said.
“You’re here to beg me to return your
father and the rest of your people. It’s all rather easy. I despise
you both. I used to think I hated Eldrich more for rejecting me.
But then, I decided that indeed, I hate you both equally. You see,
although witches are secretive creatures we cannot stand rejection.
It drives us mad. And when we don’t get what we want, well, someone
has to suffer for it.”
“Tell us what you want from us,” Lela said,
interlocking her fingers.
“Grovel. Plead with me,” she said.
“Will you then return my people?” Lela
asked.
    “Your people? Of whom do you speak?” she asked.
“My people...the people from the castle,”
Lela said.
“And also—”
“Quiet!” She interrupted Eldrich. “You have
my word,” she said to Lela.
“I beg you. Please forgive me for hurting
you. You’re a merciful and beautiful witch who deserves to be
treated with respect. You deserve love. Eldrich and I deserve
nothing. We were wrong to have fallen in love,” Lela said.
“It was wrong of me to reject you,” Eldrich
said. “Someone as beautiful as you should never have to know
rejection. I beg you. Forgive me. Forgive us.”
The witch twirled around and began to
dance. “Your words have made me happy. When I’m happy I
dance.”
“Seeing you happy is all that matters to
us,” Eldrich said.
“Dance, oh, beautiful witch,” Lela
said.
The witch twirled and twirled and then
bowed.
Lela and Eldrich clapped.
“Bravo,” Lela said.
“Well done,” Eldrich said.
“You may both stand,” she said.
“Are we forgiven?” Lela asked.
The witch put Lela’s hand in Eldrich’s. “I
forgive you. The spell is lifted.”
“Thank you,” Lela said, kissing the witch’s
hand.
“When you return to the castle, you will
find your people there. I promise you,” she said.
“With the greatest respect,” Eldrich said,
“may I ask you one question?”
“Yes, of course, Prince of the Barmoth
Vampires. Ask me anything and I will answer with the truth.”
“Will Lela also find her father at the
castle?” Eldrich asked.
The witch started to laugh. “Of course
not!”
“But you said we were forgiven. You gave me
your word!” Lela said.
    “You’re a stupid princess.
Has Eldrich taught you nothing about how things work? You
wanted your people
returned to the castle. Your father is the King. If you wanted the
King of Barmoth returned, you should have said so.”
“You ugly, wretched witch. You tricked
me.”
“I’m a witch. Did you expect
