Daniel grimaced at the creaking of the table as she angled it upward, but actually felt a bit better once it was done.  It was marginally better than lying down, even if he was still trapped.  His shaking subsided for the moment.<br/><br/>He was a bit stunned at how smoothly her servants operated, moving like clockwork to fulfill her every need and want.  His eyes darted curiously to the maidservants when they entered, until Viola issued her command to watch her.  He did as he was told, ever fearful of what might happen should he disobey.  He had seen her strike Christina, and surely she would do much worse to a man.<br/><br/>Daniel's mind emptied itself quickly once the Countess began to be undressed.  Such a stunning beauty, she was... Before he knew it he was anticipating every piece that came off, and when she stopped her maids from undressing her further he was a bit disappointed.  He certainly didn't look away, however.  She looked to have become a whole other person, such was the difference between her overclothes and the ones she now wore.  She looked unlike anything Daniel had ever seen; so unabashedly sexual, and he found himself responding to it both mentally and physically.<em>What on earth is wrong with me?</em>he thought.
