Rose shivered as the flow of water continued to stimulate her sensitive clit, the sensation almost unbearable so soon after climax. She pressed her legs together and twisted her body as much as her restraints would allow, trying to find some relief from the relentless teasing.<br/><br/>Still, with one orgasm behind her and the next one yet to come, she had a window of time in which she could think clearly, or at least more than before. Despite the scent of the candles clouding her ability to think clearly, as her captor tried to convince her into giving up her virtue, the lessons that the paladin had been forced to memorize until she could recite them by rote, now surfaced - and she now realized that this sort of situation was exactly what they had been meant to prepare her for.<br/><br/>"Spoken like a fool, a slave to her desires who knows not the true taste of freedom," Rose found refuge in her beliefs, not only her mind but also her body calming down as well. "The choice to live alone or with a partner is mine to make, up until the moment I make my decision and say my vows. If denial increases anticipation and pleasure, then I shall restrain myself until that day, content with this demonstration of the bliss to come that you have given me. By self-restraint I remain free to determine my own future. If I sacrifice my purity for a brief moment of pleasure, forever closing the door that leads to a future with my husband and giving in to my base desires, is<em>that</em>not the true form of slavery?"
