Chapter
32: Tiram’s Trick
Alyssa stepped into the guildhall
at Vivec. She was confused and hoping for some advice. Stepping down the
stairs, she found herself face to face with Archmage Trebonius and… Erranil?
Alyssa stood quietly, her heart pounding in her chest.
“Hmm, these are some serious
accusations…” Trebonius said, glancing through the report in front of him.
“Yes, well, it’s a serious
situation,” replied Erranil, “Somebody has to save the Guild before Edwinna
Elbert destroys it. Her conduct is out of control. And now she’s betraying us
to the Telvanni.”
“I’m beginning to wonder if the
Vvardenfell Mages Guild isn’t infiltrated completely by the Telvanni spies,”
mused Trebonius, “First Ranis Athrys… now Edwinna Elbert? I would never have
suspected her. But then, I didn’t expect Ranis either. Let’s see now… I’ll
have to sit down for a while and look this over carefully with my advisor
before deciding on a course of action.”
“Oh thank you!” gushed Erranil,
reaching down to hug him. Trebonius looked surprised.
“Yes, yes, well… Just doing my
job!” he replied happily, pocketing the scroll and walking off to the nearby
kitchen whistling an upbeat tune. Alyssa froze. This couldn’t be happening.
If Edwinna lost her position… She had to find Tiram. Maybe there was
something he could do. Surely he knew that Edwinna wasn’t a Telvanni spy. She
was simply sympathetic to the House, same as him! She turned, catching her
breath quickly to stifle a gasp. Tiram was standing behind her. She wondered
how long he had been there.
“Tiram!” she gasped, “I need your
help!” He smiled coolly.
“Yes, my dear, and what can I do
for you today?” he asked. Alyssa’s eyes burst with tears. Tiram chuckled
softly.
“Tiram!” came a voice from
downstairs, “There you are! I was looking all over for you!” In a moment
Archmage Trebonius brushed past her, handing a scroll to Tiram. He glanced at
Alyssa in surprise.
“Ah yes, um… hello there,” he said
to her, awkwardly turning his attention to Tiram. Tiram smiled, crossing his
arms in amusement.
“Yes well, um… read this,” he
finally said, scratching his head at the sobbing young mage in front of him,
“We can, um… discuss it later I guess.” Trebonius walked off, leaving Alyssa
alone with Tiram. The scroll was now in his hands. He opened it, an amused
look crossing his face. He glanced down at Alyssa, who was still crying.
“I take it that this little
document is the source of your tears?” he inquired. Alyssa bit her lips, still
crying. Tiram chuckled softly.
“Very well. I can discuss it with
you tonight, if you would like. The usual room – I’ll book it ahead of time,”
he said. Alyssa shook her head.
“Please… I don’t want anything to
happen. Could we go now?” she asked.
“Ah, so you’re quite eager now, are
you?” he replied, running his eyes slowly over her body. Her slender deep
crimson dress was held up by two small straps, one of which fell at her
shoulder. He smiled.
“Very well, my dear. Run along
downstairs and I’ll meet you in just a few moments,” he replied, sauntering
casually towards his quarters. Alyssa watched him go, her head swimming with
emotion. How did everything get so out of control? She turned, ignoring the
other guildmemebers as she ran for the door.
~*~
“I see your sister appears to have
gotten herself into a bit of trouble. Tsk tsk,” said Tiram, leaning back
against his chair to read over the scroll. They were back in the rented room
under the Black Shalk Cornerclub. Alyssa held her breath as a second Dunmer
entered the room, handing Tiram two goblets and several jugs of sujamma. He
glanced back at Alyssa, his eyes running down her body lustfully. He shot
Tiram a knowing smirk, then left the room, closing the door behind him. Tiram
stood, still reading the scroll, and took a key from his pockets. Quickly, he
locked the door, then returned to his seat. Alyssa looked back at the door,
her heart racing.
“In matters like these, it is best
that we remain undisturbed,” Tiram replied, setting down the scroll and pouring
two glasses of sujamma.
“I’m… I’m not really thirsty, thank
you,” she said, feeling suddenly nervous.
“Nonsense. Of course you are,” he
smiled. He pushed the goblet in front of her. She only stared at it, still
fighting back tears.
“Let’s see now… there are some
interesting accusations here…” Tiram replied, leaning back and looking over the
scroll as he took a sip of sujamma. Alyssa gulped.
“They’re not true,” she replied.
“Ah, so your sister was not bedding
her alchemist then? How disappointing,” replied Tiram, “Have a little sujamma,
it will help calm your nerves.” Alyssa obeyed, picking up the glass and taking
a drink. The initial bite always shocked her, and she cringed. But soon
enough it melted into a more pleasing flavor. She took another sip.
“Well, she was with Anarenen,”
replied Alyssa, her face flushing with embarrassment, “But they both claim that
he’s the one who started it. And they aren’t together anymore. He still has
his job.”
“Mmm. I see… such things are
forbidden in the Imperial Mages Guild, for frivolous reasons like job security
and comfort level and such. I don’t see any harm in it though. Sounds like
they both had a good time and this Erranil woman is jealous,” he said
knowingly. Alyssa nodded, feeling somewhat relieved.
“And you have already told me that
Edwinna is carnally involved with Baladas Demnevanni. My my. It seems your
sister does get around,” said Tiram with a smirk, “I approve wholeheartedly of
course.” Alyssa felt suddenly too warm. She took another swig of sujamma
quickly. Tiram looked up, raising an eyebrow as he watched her drink, her
breathing becoming quicker.
“Very well then. I think I
understand the situation. What, precisely, would you like me to do about it?”
he asked. Alyssa stared at him in confusion.
“Convince Trebonius that Edwinna is
not a Telvanni spy, of course!” she said. Tiram chuckled.
“Well, Edwinna is certainly not a
Telvanni spy – you and I both know that,” he replied. Alyssa nodded.
“However, the situation doesn’t
look good for her. Trebonius is most… easily upset… when it comes to the
matter of security in his Guild. And the accusations in the letter appear to
be based on fact. I doubt Trebonius will be as lenient and understanding as I
am when it comes to matters of the flesh. Foolish outlanders. Unfortunately,
Trebonius is likely to take your sister’s little trysts – innocent as they were
– as evidence of collaborating with the enemy,” Tiram replied.
“But Baladas isn’t even on the
council!” said Alyssa. Tiram chuckled.
“That doesn’t matter. He’s still Telvanni,
through and through,” he replied, “Furthermore… so are you. Regrettably, I
doubt that little piece of evidence will be lost on Trebonius.” Alyssa’s eyes
widened. She leaned forward, looking up at him pleadingly.
“Please! You have to do something!
Trebonius listens to you!” she insisted. Tiram smiled, leaning back leisurely.
“And what’s in it for me, my dear?”
he asked. Alyssa stared at him, clearly perplexed. She sat back, taking
another sip of sujamma and contemplating his words. It was starting to feel
very hot in the room once more. She blinked, bringing her hand to her head.
She felt very dizzy.
“I’m not… powerful or anything… I
don’t have any rank… I’m not wealthy… I could afford to buy you some sujamma
perhaps?” she offered. Tiram laughed.
“I can afford sujamma myself. No,
my dear, stop thinking of the cards you don’t possess and look at the ones in
your hand. You’re not much of a gambler are you?” he asked. She shook her
head.
“A pity,” he replied, “You can
learn much about life from playing cards.” Alyssa only stared at him in
confusion.
“Please,” she begged, “If Edwinna
is expelled from the Guild then we’ll both lose everything. I’ve already lost
my parents… and… and I’ve had nothing but terrible luck ever since I arrived on
this dreadful island.” She burst into tears. Tiram sighed.
“That’s because you don’t know how
to get ahead around here. Always look out for yourself. Don’t rely on anyone
else to do it for you. And when you want something, remember that you have
plenty to barter with. You are young, beautiful, and exotic… with those cards
in your hand you can get most anywhere you want in life,” he replied. Alyssa
looked up at him in confusion.
“Come now. I don’t believe that
you’re that naïve. It’s an act you put on to protect yourself, isn’t it?
You’re used to getting things for free. It doesn’t work like that around
here. The sooner you recognize that, the better. Come now, you know I’m
telling you the truth,” Tiram replied coolly. He leaned in closer, taking a
lock of her hair and running it through his fingers.
“I’m too old for these games, my
dear Alyssa. I see how you dress. I see how you react to the men around you.
You don’t think they’ll notice, but they do. You know perfectly well what you
are doing. You’re not so innocent, now are you?” he told her. Her eyes
widened and she pulled away.
“You can’t be serious,” she
whispered. Tiram smiled, leaning in closer.
“Can’t I? You want something from
me, now don’t you? I could get into a lot of trouble by downplaying the facts
– after all, you’ve admitted to me that everything in this document is true,”
he said coldly, “So… you want my help, but what are you willing to do for me,
my dear Alyssa?” She stood, backing away. He merely smiled at her, his red
eyes fixed on her delicate form. She turned, grabbing the door handle. But it
was locked. She looked back at Tiram in horror.
“You wouldn’t!” she gasped. He
laughed.
“I won’t force you, my dear. It
isn’t my style. Sit down. Have a few more drinks and think about it. It’s
about time a pretty little thing like you learned where your advantages lie.
I’m doing you a favor, really,” he said with a smirk. Alyssa blinked, her
head spinning. She tried to take a step back, nearly falling onto the chair in
front of her. Tiram stood, taking her by the arm and helping her to her seat.
She looked down, her face flushed with embarrassment.
“I… I can’t,” she whispered
finally.
“Can’t you? You’re halfway out of
your gown already,” he replied.
“I’m seeing someone,” she finally
said.
“I’m only borrowing you for a short
while,” he told her, “You may even learn a thing or two.”
“He’s… he’s the only person I’ve
ever been with,” she confessed. Tiram smiled.
“Well then. You are missing out on
what this island has to offer,” he said.
“But what about… aren’t there Guild
rules against this sort of thing?” she asked.
“Not against you and I. I am not
directly responsible for you,” he said, “We’re just… how should I say... close
friends? And we’re about to become… even closer.” Suddenly Alyssa burst into
tears.
“I don’t have any choice, do I?”
she asked. Tiram smiled.
“Of course you do. I’m not holding
a knife to your throat. You always have a choice in such matters. But if you
want me to intervene on your sister’s behalf… well… you should be willing to
make it worth my while,” he replied, “And in your case, sex is clearly your
biggest bargaining chip.” Alyssa only stared.
“I can’t do this,” she whispered.
“Who are you trying to convince, me
or you?” he asked. She glared, picking up her glass of sujamma defiantly. In
an instant, she tipped back her head and downed the rest of the glass. Tiram
laughed softly, reaching down to pour her another. She cringed, picking up the
second glass and taking a big gulp.
“There you go. See? It isn’t
nearly as hard as you think. Now, my dear… let’s see what you have to offer,”
he told her, leaning back leisurely in his chair. Alyssa stared at him. Her
vision was playing tricks on her. What color was his robe? Burgundy? Green?
Both? She blinked. He was still watching her intently. She reached behind
her dress, loosening the ties. She let her gown drop to her waist, feeling her
face flush crimson. She looked away, closing her eyes to keep from crying.
“Ah! Lovely. Simply lovely, my
dear. Now take off the rest of your clothes, stand up, and turn around slowly
so I can get a good look at you. You can leave the jewelry – I rather like
it,” he told her. She glared, taking another swig of sujamma. She stood
quickly, catching the table to balance herself as her dress fell from her
waist. She slipped off her shoes. Tiram appeared pleased, reaching down to
pick up his sujamma and sipping it slowly.
“Your form is delicious, my
darling. I could gaze upon you forever. Now turn around slowly. Careful!
Try not to injure yourself in the process,” he said. Alyssa obeyed silently,
her body trembling uncontrollably. She nearly fell, but kept hold of the table
for support. She felt exposed, humiliated. Her body was burning with shame.
“Mmm, you are truly beautiful, my
dear. Now come here and sit on my lap,” he told her. She stared at him,
gripping the table silently as tears filled her eyes.
“Please don’t make me,” she finally
whispered.
“Nonsense. No one is making you do
anything. You’ve done splendidly so far. Now come over here, my dear. Since
it’s your first time doing this, I promise I’ll be gentle,” he said, reaching
up to run his hand through his long black hair as he leaned against the side of
the chair. She cried, looking away. Finally she took a few steps forward,
nearly collapsing when she reached Tiram’s chair. He caught her waist and
pulled her up. She fell against him and he pulled her into his arms.
“There now. Mmm, you’re as soft
and supple as you are beautiful. A rare find, indeed. I only wish I had the
opportunity to enjoy you more often,” he said with a smile, running his hands
over her body slowly and tenderly. The hard rings he wore were cold against
her skin and she shivered.
She caught the faint scent of
something familiar. Suddenly she felt her body relax as she dropped her
resistance. It made her think of the twin moons over the ashlands at dusk… and
of… Baladas’ Velothi tower? It was the same scent as the blanket he had given
her when she stayed over. What was it? It was so familiar, so… primal. She
gasped, falling back into Tiram’s arms as he gently caressed her breasts and
thighs. She must have had too much to drink. Her body felt as though it were
on fire. She closed her eyes, finding her mind drifting off to far off lands.
Something about that fragrance made her think of mushroom towers. Aryon’s
tower… did it have this scent too? No, it had that musky aroma that all fungal
towers seemed to share. Ah, no, it wasn’t the towers… it was the people. She
sighed. It was divine, whatever it was. She wondered if the Telvanni masters
ever brought women up to their towers. Well, not Neloth and Gothren – she
didn’t want to think about them. But Aryon… well…
“You are delicious, my dear,” Tiram
whispered, dipping his fingers between her thighs. She startled, suddenly
gasping. Her gasp became a moan as he moved his fingers inside of her. What
was happening? Her mind was spinning. She realized that she was already wet.
How could her body respond like this? Suddenly she was deeply embarrassed.
Tiram was right. It was much easier than she thought it would be. But she
didn’t want it to be. She turned her head, her breathing becoming heavier as
he continued to stimulate her. Her breath became soft moans and she squirmed
in his arms. She could feel his arousal under his robes. Why her? Why this?
“After all that fuss, you’re even
easier to stimulate than most of the Dunmer girls I’ve known,” he remarked,
“It’s wonderfully invigorating. With just a little practice you’ll have the
entire island fawning over you.” Alyssa gasped.
“I don’t… Mmm… I don’t want that…”
she sighed. Tiram laughed.
“Of course you do. You’re a young
woman who wants to get ahead in life. Now that you’ve gotten me all hot and
bothered, what do you plan to do about it?” he asked. Alyssa blinked. She
assumed he would take control. He picked her up, turning her to face him and
signaling that she should drop to her knees at his feet. He loosened the ties
of his robe, letting it fall open before her. For some reason, Alyssa was
mildly surprised that his organs were the same dark color as the rest of his
flesh. She shook her head. It was a foolish thought. Of course they would be
the dark like the rest of his skin. She glanced up at him, clearly puzzled.
He sighed, bringing his hand to his forehead.
“Don’t tell me you expect to
advance to the rank of Mouth in Great House Telvanni without knowing how to use
your own,” he said with a hint of sarcasm in his voice. She looked back at his
exposed body, still confused.
“I… I don’t know how,” she finally
confessed. Tiram laughed.
“Something else I’ll have to teach
you then,” he replied. Alyssa glared at him.
“Have you ever sucked on a stalk of
marshmerrow? It’s the same principle. Enthusiasm is more important than
technique. I’ll give you more instruction once you’ve gotten the general feel
for it,” he explained. Alyssa cringed. Malcus had never asked her to do such
a thing. Her face flushed with embarrassment. He was going to be furious with
her when he found out. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She had
already come this far.
She took him in her hand, bringing
her lips over the tip. Slowly she brought her mouth over him, sucking gently.
She looked up questioningly. She had no idea if she was doing this right.
“Use your hands as an extension of
your mouth,” he advised. She brought up her hands, bringing them up and down
along the shaft cautiously as she sucked and licked. Her heart was pounding in
her chest. She felt her actions had never been so vulgar. She was completely
humiliated.
“Ah, you’re doing fine,” Tiram told
her reassuringly, “You’ve nearly gotten it down already. Just take it up a
notch and use your free hand to stimulate other areas.” Alyssa obeyed, still
feeling slightly foolish and confused. How long was he going to make her do
this? She sped up, finding a natural rhythm as her hands and mouth adjusted to
their various tasks. Once again it was easier than she imagined, but she hated
it nonetheless.
“Perfect,” he breathed, gripping
onto the sides of his chair as a soft moan escaped Alyssa’s lips and vibrated
against his body, “I would hardly believe you if you told me this was your
first time with such matters. Mmm, you’ll have to come up now or I won’t be
able to enjoy your charms much longer.” Alyssa stopped and he pulled her to
her feet, standing up before her.
“Do you have a preference?” he
asked her. She stared, wide-eyed.
“I… don’t know what you mean…” she
gasped, feeling her fear return.
“For positions, my dear. I tend to
enjoy them all,” he replied. Alyssa only stared.
“You’re wet and pliant already. I
shan’t hurt you. Unless you are into that sort of thing?” he asked. Alyssa
gasped, turning her head as she fought back tears. He caught her by the arms,
bringing her in close to his chest. She caught the scent of that strange aroma
again. It soothed her, bringing her back… somewhere… She sighed.
“There now. It isn’t so bad, is
it? You’re doing remarkably well. With just a few less tears, and a few more
alluring glances, you could probably convince me to overthrow Trebonius and put
you in charge of the entire Guild,” he said with a grin, “One of the tricks to
seduction is to convince the person you are with that you only have eyes for
them, even if it isn’t true. But I am too old for that sort of foolishness,
and I already know you don’t feel that way, so I am content without the
illusion. But it’s a little trick you should probably learn someday.” Alyssa
nodded, trying to swallow her tears.
“Now, my suggestion is that you go
over to the bed, get on your hands and knees, and offer yourself to me that
way. It will spare you from looking at me during the process, so you are free
to let your mind wander wherever it may take you. But few will ever resist the
position, because it affords a delicious view of all of your charms. Face to
face positions always seem more… intimate. Would that work for you?” Alyssa
swallowed hard. She had wanted to be faithful to Malcus, but now… She didn’t
see how it would matter. He would likely be furious with her regardless of
what she did.
Alyssa fell against the bed,
climbing on top of it as Tiram suggested. She arched her back and held her
breath as she felt his hands along her hips, the cold rings moving against her
thighs, spreading her. She began to tremble. Why was she still here? Why was
she doing this? She could feel his tip against her opening and she cried out
when she felt him slide into her body. Tears filled her eyes and she began to
weep silently, her breathing becoming more rapid as a moan escaped her lips
against her will.
“Ah… you are every bit as delicious
as I imagined you would be, my dear Alyssa,” Tiram whispered. Alyssa was
unable to stop her body from shaking, vibrating against him as her moans became
louder.
What was she going to tell Malcus?
What was she going to tell anyone? Why did Edwinna have to get herself into
this mess? What would happen if she didn’t help her and Edwinna lost her job?
Why Tiram? She had thought she liked him well enough, but never in that
manner… and now… she was going to have a terrible time looking him in the eye
again. Who was going to give her advice on Great House Telvanni now?
Baladas? She wouldn’t be in this mess if Edwinna hadn’t been so enamored of
him. Not that he was bad looking. He had sort of a dark angelic look about
him, really… almost otherworldly in a way. She wondered how he was in bed. I
mean, if he was good enough to make Edwinna forget her own Guild… and she
already had Anarenen waiting for her besides. Anarenen wasn’t bad looking
either. She wondered what it was that Baladas had that Anarenen didn’t. Was
it just the Dwemer research? Anarenen was much taller, and he was a lot nicer too.
Baladas just didn’t make any sense most of the time. She supposed he had been
living alone too long. He must have forgotten how to interact with people.
But still, she knew he meant well. He was interesting. She could see why
Edwinna liked him. There was something about him… And he kept that huge bed
up in his chambers too. She wondered if Edwinna had been his first female
guest. She hadn’t seen a bed in Aryon’s chambers. Perhaps he slept
elsewhere. She wondered where. What did his bedroom look like? Hmm… What
was it about the Telvanni that made her heart race? She moaned, throwing her
head back as pleasure washed over her body. It wasn’t so bad, really. At
least Tiram seemed to know what he was doing. She caught her breath. Why was she
thinking such things? She didn’t choose to be here, after all. But yet… she
could have left… She moaned again, her mind awash with conflicting thoughts
and emotions.
Finally he gripped harder and held
her tight, releasing into her yielding body. He withdrew, taking her in his
arms and laying her out on the bed.
“There now, see? It wasn’t nearly
as hard as you thought it was going to be, now was it?” he asked. Alyssa
turned her head, not wanting to look at him. She didn’t want to admit that he
was right. Tiram laughed.
“And now, you can rest well assured
that your sister’s reputation and job position are quite safe. You’ve
convinced me quite thoroughly, my dear,” he said knowingly, picking up his
robes and slipping them on over his head.
“Would you like me to walk you out,
or would you prefer to rest here for a while? I’ve purchased the room for the
night, so you are free to use it as you see fit,” he said. Alyssa was unable
to stop herself from crying. Her sobs were audible now. Tiram ran his fingers
softly along her body, tossing her gown on the bed next to her. She felt…
well… she felt like a common whore. She half expected Tiram to throw some
coins at her feet. Instead he reached down and kissed her forehead.
“You’ll be alright, my dear,” he
assured her. She turned away from him. He laughed, shaking his head in
amusement as he unlocked the door to the room and slipped outside quietly. Now
Alyssa was alone. She sat, trying to catch her breath. She grabbed a corner
of the bedspread, trying to wipe the fluid from between her legs. Sill crying
silently, she slipped the gown over her head. She tried to calm herself and
create an aura of indifference. She still had some dignity left, after all.
She glanced in a mirror, trying to sooth her hair. It was a mess, but she did
the best she could.
Alyssa crept towards the door,
peering out the door of the room. She closed it quickly when she spied a young
Dunmer walking the hallways. She couldn’t leave now. They would see her.
They would know why she was there and what she had done. She closed her eyes.
Perhaps she should return to Ald’ruhn. Taking a deep breath, she cast the
spell that would bring her back to the ashlands. She had a few choice words to
share with Edwinna.
