LEARNING SEXUAL SERVITUDE

 

ALANDRIA -- ATHENA'S PLANET

The Visit

 

The planet was called Alandria and it was a beautiful place. They were to meet with the system lord Athena today. Daniel was curious about her. The Goa'uld lord in charge of this planet took on the persona of the Greek goddess Athena...the great huntress. He could see the planet from the main hold of the ship. It was colored similar to Earth but instead of seeing swirls of blue and white from this distance it was an interesting mix of purple and pink...very odd colors for the surface of a planet. He wondered what the surface looked like and what the inhabitants of the planet looked like.

 

He accompanied Osiris to the transport rings watching as they lowered around them to whisk them to the surface of Alandria. When the rings lifted up over them returning to the ceiling Daniel glanced around and found himself standing in a very lavish sitting area. This was probably the meeting room. Without thought and without asking for permission Daniel approached the windows that he knew overlooked the city below. He wasn't sure of what to expect. The appearance of the city below was definitely not what he had been visualizing.

 

Below them people walked the streets and tall, elegant buildings lined the streets. In several areas throughout the city stood huge, dramatic statues of hunters and animals. Statues of bears, wolves and birds...there were several statues of archers taking aim at their prey or preening their bows...the architecture was even extravagant. Obviously Athena loved elegance and beauty.

 

Osiris remained silent as his servant left his side without seeking permission first. He found himself watching the man again raking his eyes appreciatively over the young, firm body of his favored. He could feel the heat and desire stirring within and smirked as his nipples hardened beneath the fabric of the elegant gown he now wore. He would make that man his. He would soon demand he serve in the bedroom and if his servant denied his lord...

 

"Daniel?"

 

As the man turned to face him, Osiris swallowed hard feeling that desire and hunger within only surmounting. He had a sudden urge to grab his servant, throw him on the meeting table and make love to him. He so wanted to hear that man screaming and pleading for more. He so wanted to feel the man as he eagerly responded to his lord. To have that magnificent creature bucking and writhing beneath him as he staked his final claim on him and marked the man as truly his...oh how he wanted that so.

 

Osiris watched Daniel through hooded eyes not wanting to reveal his hunger to his favored just yet. Sarah said to go slowly and not to frighten the man so that's what he intended to do. He swallowed hard before softly prompting, "What have you failed to do properly?" watching the man as he seemed to contemplate that question. As the answer came to him he saw anger and stubbornness flare up in the man's eyes. He heard Sarah telling him to remain silent and wait. Daniel cast another quick glance out the window before slowly approaching him, lowering to his knees gracefully and softly requesting, "My Lord may your servant be granted permission to look upon the planet of Alandria?"

 

Osiris smiled. Ah yes, Daniel Jackson was learning his place. Though the learning was progressing much slower than he liked he allotted the man the extra time to learn how to carry himself and how to perform as his personal attendant. The trainings were taking much longer than he had foreseen and many issues had to be repetitively covered because the man was so stubborn, but he was learning and he was becoming more a proper attendant each and every day. He knew that Daniel was patiently awaiting his answer and that it angered the young man to have to ask for rights, but this he refused to be lax on for Daniel needed to learn his place and his status. He answered, "Yes you may, my precious one."

 

"Thank you, My Lord."

 

Osiris' smile broadened as Daniel remained on his knees still awaiting permission to rise and be excused. Yes his servant was learning his station very well. Osiris then added, "You may now rise."

 

"Thank you, My Lord."

 

He watched as Daniel rose and approached the window again staring out at the streets in curiosity. They waited only a few more moments before Athena entered and approached welcoming, "Ah, Lord Osiris, I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to Alandria. Please have a seat so that we may discuss our agreement."

 

"Thank you. Daniel, come attend to your lord."

 

Daniel turned from the window softly responding, "Yes My Lord."

 

He then approached Osiris keeping his head bowed in a proper show of submission to his master. Athena smiled as she raked her eyes appreciatively over Osiris' new favored. She said, "Ah, I see that you have acquired a favored one. He is most beautiful, Lord Osiris."

 

"Yes he is. Athena may I introduce you to my favored Daniel. Daniel this is the goddess Athena."

 

Daniel bowed gracefully before her keeping his eyes trained on the floor as he softly replied, "My Lady it is an honor to make your acquaintance."

 

"Do you treat your lord well?"

 

"Yes My Lady."

 

"That is good to hear. Lord Osiris has been most unhappy since the disappearance of his queen. He is in need of one who is able to make him smile again. Come sit beside your lord. Do not be shy for as his favored you have my respect so come sit..."

 

"My Lord?"

 

"Come Daniel, sit beside your lord."

 

"Thank you, My Lord."

 

Daniel sat down and Osiris leaned over softly whispering, "She has permitted you to cast your eyes above the floor my precious one. Remember you are to carry yourself as a god. Behave as you have been trained, my precious slave."

 

"Yes My Lord."

 

Athena smiled as she watched the young man cast his eyes upward nervously. She nodded as he made direct eye contact with her and found that he had beautiful eyes to match with a beautiful face. She could see why Osiris selected him for he was most striking. She turned from him to focus on Osiris questioning, "Now then what is the true reason for your visit to Alandria, Lord Osiris?"

 

Daniel found himself glancing nervously at Osiris hearing the tension in Athena's words. She had sounded pleasant but now as she focused her gaze on Osiris she seemed far from happy to have him here. Osiris merely smiled as he assessed her before answering, "Our purpose is to forge a treaty with you and your followers."

 

"Why would you want to forge an alliance with one who has been your enemy for far too long?"

 

Enemy? Daniel now wondered about the history between these two. He glanced from Osiris to Athena and back again aware that the air was now sparking with an underlying tension. Osiris had told him that he and Athena were on opposite spectrums when it came to certain issues but he had said nothing about past discord running amongst them. He could now see Osiris was growing angry and decided to interrupt, "My Lord Osiris wishes to forge a treaty of peace. He has traveled very far for this meeting and would like to offer an alliance..."

 

Athena glanced up at Daniel then at Osiris with a look of curiosity and question in her eyes. She liked this young man who had somehow won Osiris' favor. He was bold as well as stunning. She glanced at Osiris knowing that if it had been several years ago and his most favored had spoken without seeking his lord's permission first that Osiris would not have hesitated to punish him before her. Now as she watched him the only reaction he offered was to reach a hand over to his favored and touch his arm. She watched with growing interest as the young man jerked his gaze upright tensing as his lord touched him. When Osiris leaned over to whisper in his ear she noticed that he softly spoke. She caught snippets of his words. Enough to ascertain that he was explaining why he spoke without permission. She waited to see if Osiris would still punish his servant for showing disrespect before another system lord. When his words floated to her from across the table she could only stare in surprise. He was thanking his servant for speaking? What? As she continued to observe the two even closer she noticed something that shocked her even more: Osiris was doting on his favored. She could see an emotion she never expected to see in this particular enemy...love. He was in love with his favored. Without consideration she interrupted, "You love him."

 

They both jerked their heads up staring at her intently. She realized then that she should not have made her knowledge known for Osiris would now see her as a possible enemy who could control him for she had discovered what none have yet realized: Osiris loved his servant and therefore his servant could bring about Osiris' destruction for one had only to hurt the one he obviously loved to succeed. She had noticed before with Isis that she was a weakness as well. Osiris was not one to foolishly love another. When he fell in love it was forever and his love was true. His capacity to love another so greatly always impressed her for who would ever believe that the great god Osiris could even begin to understand just what love meant?

 

She silenced her thoughts before shaking her head and continuing, "Yes I will listen to your proposal. Please tell me of this alliance you wish to forge."

 

Daniel continued observing her feeling very confused and anxious due to her comment...love, she had said that Osiris loved him. He...why? How? He sensed before that Osiris wanted him, desired him but love was never in the picture. God he hoped she were very wrong because if Osiris...loved him he'd never be free of the Goa'uld lord. He tried to push those troubling thoughts to the back of his mind not wanting to even begin to consider just what those words would mean for him, especially if they were true. As Athena spoke he felt relieved because she succeeded in drawing his attention away from such considerations. He noticed that she seemed more willing to listen to Osiris now and as he focused on Osiris the Goa'uld lord nodded before turning to her and beginning to explain what he was proposing.

 

By the time Osiris was done with explaining things Athena was still undecided on her course of action. When she proposed a tour through her city Osiris accepted and together they left the palace. He dropped behind them and to Osiris' left following them as she began the tour. Before they even progressed very far Osiris was turning to gaze at him, holding his hand out and speaking his name. He knew what Osiris was ordering but was rather surprised. He softly questioned, "My Lord are you certain that...?"

 

"Yes Daniel. I have told you where I desire you to be, not behind me beside me. Now come attend your lord."

 

"Yes My Lord if that is what you wish."

 

"It is what I require, my precious Daniel."

 

Daniel bowed before softly replying, "Thank you, My Lord."

 

Osiris only smiled as Daniel moved to where Osiris required him to stand. He gently grasped Daniel's hand before leaning over and whispering, "Be alert for any dangers, my precious. Remember to always be alert whether we are on a friendly planet or a hostile planet."

 

"Yes My Lord."

 

Osiris' smile broadened further before he returned his focus to Athena who was still watching them and their interactions again seeing Osiris' love for his slave. Yes maybe she would agree to this alliance for if things started to go sour then all she would have to do in retaliation is to have his favored captured or destroyed. Osiris had let his guard down long enough for her to see his strongest weakness and if she had to she would cripple him by playing on that weakness.

 

As Osiris gazed at Athena he felt unease fill him. She was looking at Daniel again and this was not the first time. He felt suddenly certain that she could not be trusted at all. She was no doubt thinking of taking Daniel as her own or using him against him. He would not give her the chance to do either. He unconsciously tightened his hold on Daniel's hand drawing a soft prompt of ‘My Lord’ from him in response. When he looked at Daniel he could see the questions there and wondered if Daniel realized that Athena was probably plotting a future retaliation should things not work out even as they spoke. He knew that she could be a danger but when she had spoke her suspicions of his feelings for Daniel he knew then that she could prove a very dangerous enemy and a very risky ally. He silenced his worries as they began their tour. He made certain to hold Daniel's hand the entire time knowing that he didn't like to be led about but sensing that if he didn't maintain his hold on Daniel that Athena's guards just might attempt to snatch him away and he was not intending on losing Daniel ever.

 

As they continued to walk he noticed his servant casting his eyes about in awe as he looked at the elegant statues and the many people who inhabited Alandria. He tensed when Sarah spoke, 'My Lord look at him. See how he gazes about? This, this is what Daniel loves. To meet new cultures, to see how they live, how they interact... He could spend months just...watching them. This...this is what brings him to life for he has always had a deep love and appreciation for new cultures.'

 

He nodded becoming quickly involved in watching his servant finding that to see such fire, such excitement within him was a magnificent thing to behold indeed and as Daniel continued to stare at everything Osiris found that he wanted to make love to this man. He decided then and there that it would be tonight. Tonight he would make his offer. He was quite certain that Daniel would deny him but he knew just how to gain his servant's complete compliance and if he had to resort to such tactics to gain Daniel's compliance then he would be solving two problems at once. Tonight...it would be tonight.

 

After the tour was completed they returned to the palace to finish their meeting. Athena agreed to accept an alliance with them. He thanked her and told her that he would keep in touch. He quickly turned to Daniel urging him to come with him. He suddenly felt very nervous and anxious about what he planned to propose to Daniel tonight and wanted to get things progressing. Together they prepared to return to the ship. He led Daniel to the transport rings feeling his excitement continuing to build as he prepared to move their relationship onto yet another more intimate level.

ABOARD OSIRIS' SHIP

 

The Ultimatum

 

Osiris smiled as he focused on his faithful servant. Daniel Jackson served him well in all capacities except for one and tonight he planned to change that. As the rings descended around them and transported them to the ship Osiris went to the helm. He said, "Come my servant, I want you to see Alandria from above."

 

"Yes My Lord."

 

Daniel approached and looked out the main window seeing the planet of Alandria beneath them. Like before he noticed the stark beauty of the planet from space. Osiris watched him before saying, "My servant tonight I have a new request to make of you."

 

"Yes My Lord?"

 

He continued to watch Daniel as he gazed with great interest at Alandria before softly informing, "I want you to service me in all ways... You function very well as an eunuch yet you do not have a healthy avenue with which to release your sexual desires."

 

Daniel jerked his head up stuttering, "My...My Lord, I do not..."

 

"You will be granted such avenues beginning on this night. I require my eunuch to attend me in my bed. I require you to service me in every way, my precious eunuch."

 

"No...no..."

 

Oh God no. He couldn't do that! The Goa'uld lord was demanding he join him in their bed for more than just rest. He swallowed hard as dread filled his heart. He had known that Osiris desired him and wanted him since the beginning but the Goa'uld lord never did anything other than touch him and stroke him. Now he was demanding full service from his slave. Oh God, he couldn't...no... He started to shake his head in denial when the system lord quietly threatened, "If you refuse to comply than I fear a hefty consequence will result."

 

A hefty consequence? What would the snake do to him if he refused to come to his bed and service him in every way? There was no way he would willingly give his body to the snake. No way in hell! He watched Osiris intently hoping to see uncertainty in those eyes of Sarah's but all he saw was determination and pure lust. Oh God this was not good at all!

 

Osiris touched the side of Daniel's face noticing that he instantly pulled away. He continued to pressure Daniel as he leaned in and staked his claim on his young servant's lips. Daniel reacted instantly by shoving him away and refusing to do as demanded. Osiris giggled at his sudden show of defiance before teasing, "After tonight you will no longer pull from me. You will no longer deny me my pleasure and you will do whatever I demand of you."

 

Daniel automatically jerked his head no before verbalizing his answer, "No. I'll never give myself to you."

 

"Oh you will, my precious eunuch. You will."

 

"Or what?"

 

Yes, there it was...defiance, anger, outrage, uncertainty...his slave's eyes were sparking blue fire as he held himself rigid sending off signals of his stubborn nature. Oh yes, Daniel Jackson was definitely disturbed by his lord's newest request, but regardless of his feelings he would do as his lord demanded of him or he would pay a very high price for his resistance.

 

Osiris tossed his head casually letting Sarah's long blond hair fly about him before it settled once again across his elegant shoulders. He then focused on Daniel, a taunting grin plastered across his face before sighing loudly and commenting, "What? Yes, what...hmm do you see this button?"

 

"Yes..."

 

"Do you know what it does?"

 

"No."

 

"Here let me show you."

 

Osiris then pressed the button feeling his smile broaden even further as fire suddenly erupted from his ship hurtling through space towards the planet of Alandria. He watched in amusement as the fire impacted with the planet triggering a brilliant explosion that sent debris and rock into space making Alandria a new asteroid belt. All that remained were thousands upon thousands of rocks floating through space dotting the entire view port before him. He became aware of the dead silence now in the main chamber and of the silent, horrified young man now standing beside him. He turned to watch his favored silently observing him as he approached the view port and pressed the palm of his right hand against the window. He could see that there was no color present in Daniel's face any longer. His eyes were now huge and rimmed with unshed tears as he stared agape at the thousands of rocks that now made up the small planet of Alandria. He shook his head and clucked his tongue at Daniel who remained still, as still as those statues that had littered the streets of the destroyed planet below.

 

Daniel could only stare frozen, horrified, as the beautiful planet of Alandria suddenly blew up before his eyes. As fire shot from Osiris' ship towards the planet he could feel his heart jumping to his throat and bile threatening to make an appearance as he realized just what Osiris was intending. As the planet blew up before his eyes all he could do was clench his eyes tightly shut and try vainly to block out the screams and wails of those innocent victims. They screamed so loud in his mind, so horribly loud...innocence destroyed by evil in one fell swoop. Osiris exterminated an entire world...and it was all his fault. Oh God no!

 

As he opened his eyes seeing only floating debris where Alandria once was he could feel the tears begin to fall unbidden down over his cheeks. He tried to stop their descent and silently approached the view port pressing his hand to it and staring through a fine sheen of fresh tears feeling the destruction of that planet and all that lived there consume him. Oh God, he hurt so badly inside for those who had just died senselessly. His heart hurt so damned badly that he was certain it was openly bleeding all over the floor. He wanted to curl up and die. He wanted to scream, to yell, to thrash and to kill...how could the system lord be so cold, so devious so damned uncaring? How?

 

He refused to look at Osiris choosing instead to continue to stare at what was left of Alandria wishing he could bring that planet back and all those people but it was impossible...totally impossible. Without looking up at Osiris he quietly asked, "Why? Why did you...?"

 

"Because you denied me, my precious eunuch."

 

"I..."

 

"Their destruction is all your fault. You denied me."

 

"But the alliance, I thought..."

 

"You thought wrong. From this day forward you will serve me in all capacities. You will also meet my sexual desires. If you refuse then I will find another more populated planet to destroy. Is that understood?"

 

Daniel hung his head in sadness and defeat. He knew that he was effectively trapped. He would have to make himself sexually available to Osiris or people would suffer and die for his defiance. He wanted to cry, to scream, to beg and to yell but all he did was simply nod his head yes feeling another part of himself dying as he did so.

 

Osiris grinned wickedly as he approached Daniel pressing his hand to Daniel's face. Daniel closed his eyes shut but didn't jerk away like earlier. Osiris chuckled huskily as he said, "You will do whatever I desire of you, my precious eunuch and you will enjoy every minute of your submission. If you refuse to give me your passion, your desire, your pleasure and your arousal then I will destroy a planet also. You must learn to respond automatically to my strokes and caresses. You must learn to feel heat and passion flooding you after only the lightest of touches that I apply to your body. You will be trained to respond instantaneously, to give me your body and to give me your desire. You will learn how to please me at a moment's notice. If I require you to pleasure me with your tongue you will be grateful for the request and will do your best to satisfy me while allowing yourself to get caught up in the storm. Is that understood my precious?"

 

He hung his head further as he quietly muttered, "Yes My Lord."

 

"If you cannot do as I ask then I will destroy more planets. I want a sexually desirable slave. I want a slave who becomes addicted to my touches and caresses to the point that you learn to seduce me as well. Your education shall start this evening. You will learn to be sensual and resonate sex in every move and gesture you make. I want you to be the most alluring, sexually desirable slave there is. I want you to carry yourself in such a way that people know you are alluring and passionate. People know you please your master very well. You will respond to me whenever I desire you to no matter where we are. You will learn to be able to pleasure yourself before me and you will learn to pleasure yourself and I even while locked up in chastity. Is that understood?"

 

He again spoke those simple words, "Yes My Lord," feeling as if he was pronouncing himself condemned.

 

"Very good... Your first lesson, my precious love is to learn to crawl for your master."

 

Daniel gasped when the lead was yanked and Osiris started to lead him to their chamber. He glanced back at Alandria shaking his head sadly as he quickly brushed his arms across his eyes trying to rid his face of the tears he knew now marred them. He swallowed hard as Osiris told Zeenan that they were not to be disturbed before once again resorting to dragging him to their bedroom by his leash. Why did he suddenly feel as if he were being dragged to his execution? He shivered as he thought of how his captivity would now change. He had no choice but to service the Goa'uld lord in whatever way he requested. He felt as if he were a damned pig being led to the slaughter. He felt as if he was now trapped and there would never be any chance at escape for him. He felt as if he were condemned to this hell for all eternity. Oh God Jack ...Jack, please help me! Please come for me, Jack! Oh God, please Jack! I need you now! Please help me! His silent screams and silent pleas fell on deaf ears for no one was listening to him. No one gave a damn about him. No one gave a damn about his feelings and his desires. He was a slave, plain and simple...Osiris' slave and now he would become Osiris' bitch...oh God Jack, please forgive me for what I'm about to do...for what I have to do.

 

 

THE SACRIFICE

Daniel's Sexual Training Begins

 

Once in their bedchamber Osiris ordered him to stand as he unlocked the chastity belt. He watched with growing interest as his slave's genitals were freed. Ah yes, Daniel Jackson was very well endowed. He could never emasculate such a beautiful man. He sat his slave's chastity belt on the bed then focused on him yet again speaking seductively, "Come, let me see you crawl."

 

Daniel felt a flush of heat travel up across him. Osiris had only seen him naked a few times and he didn't much care for being fully exposed to the snake, but he quickly pushed his embarrassment deep inside so that Osiris wouldn't be able to see his discomfort before replying, "Yes My Lord."

 

Daniel swallowed hard but lowered to his hands and knees knowing what would happen if he refused. Osiris said, "You must learn to crawl using languid movements. Your duty is to seduce me using your body... You will be taught many ways to please me and satisfy me. You will learn to use your body to seduce me and to arouse me. If I cannot get excited by watching you then I will enjoy choosing the next planet to destroy."

 

"Yes My Lord."

 

Daniel swallowed hard as he thought of Jack and how Jack could make him feel. He felt his body becoming excited as he imagined he was crawling for Jack, for the love of his life. He started to move slowly hearing his lead chain fall against the floor as he moved. He focused on slowly crawling towards Osiris making his moves slow and seductive. He moved like a panther gazing hungrily towards Sarah as if he were going to devour her at any moment. When he approached her he pressed a light kiss to her right ankle then trailed his tongue all the way up over the leg feeling humiliated and degraded as he focused on Osiris' face. The Goa'uld lord was obviously immensely pleased with his little show for his gaze didn't falter. The Goa'uld lord's gaze only grew darker and more brazen. He knew that he wouldn't be able to make it through this unless he separated from himself so he focused intently on locking up his heart and allowing only primal need and desire to come out. The more he drew on that primal desire the easier it became to separate him self from the actual act of seduction.

 

Osiris pressed his hand to Daniel's chin pushing it upwards saying, "I want to see your eyes. I want to see passion in those eyes. If you cannot give me all of your passion, all of your desire, all of your hunger, my precious servant then another planet will be lost."

 

"Yes My Lord."

 

Osiris then pressed a finger to Daniel's lips before continuing, "Your second lesson my precious is to learn to suckle, lick and kiss anything I place near or against your mouth. As soon as something is pressed to your lips or is near your lips you must tug it into that delectable mouth of yours and lavish it with your tongue."

 

"Yes My Lord."

 

Daniel hesitantly kissed Osiris' finger and the Goa'uld lord continued, "Now wrap your mouth around it and suckle it."

 

Daniel obeyed feeling ill as he complied with Osiris' orders. Oh God, he couldn't do this. He couldn't! He felt as if he were betraying Jack and flaunting himself before the snake. God this was so humiliating. He tried harder to separate his mind, his spirit, his soul, his heart and his love from the act he was conducting. He had to do something. He had to keep his heart safe and secure for Jack. He had to keep his love safe and pure for Jack. Osiris might have his body; his desire but he would never get his love...sex that's what this was. Pure, raw sex with no emotions only passion, only basic, primal instinct. He was merely reacting primitively. He could do this...after all this was simply sex, lust and passion there were no real or true emotions involved for he didn't love Osiris, he hated Osiris. He could do this. He just had to guard his heart. He would willingly give up his body to the snake to ensure that no other planet was destroyed like Alandria...oh God all those people now dead because of him. It was only this morning that they had met with the system lord on that planet. It was only this morning that he had looked out the windows of the main palace and watched the inhabitants of the planet chatting and living. They were gone now, destroyed in mere seconds, every last one of them gone and it was all his fault, for if he would have willingly given himself to Osiris then those people would have been spared. He yelped as he felt a brutal yank on his lead chain and found himself focusing on Osiris. He questioned, "My Lord, what is wrong...?"

 

"You must not become distracted while you are pleasing me, slave. Distractions will cost you as well. When you make love to me, when you seduce me, when you openly please me you will focus on me and only me. There will be nothing to focus on but us and what we do. You have much to learn. I shall have My'la educate you further on how to please me."

 

"I'm sorry, My Lord. It will not happen again. You will not need to bring My'la to me, My Lord. I shall learn from you."

 

"Yes, you shall my precious slave. You shall."

 

Feeling rage and humiliation burn within as he forced himself to willingly yield to the Goa'uld lord by bowing his head and down casting his eyes in a show of respect and surrender Daniel timidly inquired, "What does My Lord wish me to do? How may I please you, My Lord?"

 

"Hmm, that is much better. Yes you are a fast learner, my precious slave."

 

Osiris pressed his finger to Daniel's lips and smiled as Daniel immediately tugged the finger into that warm, moist, delectable mouth taunting and tormenting with that wonderful tongue of his. He moaned as Daniel proceeded to suck on the finger. Yes, his slave was a fast learner. He would be trained in no time.

 

Osiris grinned wickedly as he continued, "Very good...very, very good."

 

Daniel forced himself to continue submitting to the Goa'uld lord's orders and commands reminding himself that he had to do whatever it took to survive and to ensure that no other planet or person would be placed at Osiris' mercy due to his stubbornness and his spirit. It was taking all the self-control he had to keep from striking out at the snake and fighting him. He continually found himself fighting Osiris and killing him in his thoughts. He was definitely not cut out for being submissive. It went against his very nature to remain so complacent and so demure to anybody, but he would do whatever it took to ensure that everyone would stay safe. He had no other choice in the matter. Osiris spoke just then disrupting his straying thoughts as he continued, "Lesson three involves your basic position training. I will teach you to assume different positions on my command. As you obey my commands you will address me as master. Is that understood?"

 

"Yes My Lord."

 

"Your first position is the kneeling position. You already know what I expect when I make that command for you have knelt at my feet often enough."

 

"Yes My Lord."

 

"When I choose to extend certain punishments or desire your utmost respect you will perform the kneel forward position. When I demand an apology or you do something to anger me then you will assume this position to show that you are truly sorry for your crimes and to plead for the forgiveness and mercy of your god."

 

Kneel forward? What the hell was that? Daniel didn't like the direction this conversation was going. He hated the trainings Osiris demanded he take for often he felt degraded and humiliated. The speech training was the hardest for him to grasp for he wasn't use to speaking in softer, meeker tones to anyone. My'la had taught him how to speak when addressing his lord and when addressing other system lords. The things she taught him weren't too hard to grasp in general but every time he was ordered to address her as he would his lord and he failed at the task his collar would zap him. He recalled those lessons even now. She had been in the room with him and one guard. He hadn't realized the significance of that guard until he failed to do as he was taught. The guard chose when to trigger the damned collar and when to leave him be. Each time he failed to use the submissive tones when addressing Osiris he was jolted and each time the jolt was more painful than the previous. Needless to say he learned how to appropriately address his lord in a very short time. He hated having to speak in such meek tones but knew the consequences if he failed to learn the appropriate tones to use. Luckily for him Osiris only required he use those softer tones when addressing him directly. All other times he was permitted to speak as he wanted and when he wanted.

 

He clenched his hands into fists feeling anger and frustration flow through him. Osiris said that he would be trained. He had called it position training. From the sounds of that he was certain he was about to learn other ways in which to properly carry himself as a damn slave while with his lord. He had to get away from Osiris. He had to wait for the best time to make such an escape. Along with his desperate need to flee he wanted to defy and enrage. He was tired of being commanded and treated like a goddamned slave! He hated it, hated being a prisoner, hated being Osiris' pet and hated being his slave. He knew he had no choice in the matter though for if he failed to obey every order or react to the snake as he wished then a planet would be destroyed. Along with that planet Osiris would make it his goal in life to find his friends and destroy them as well as Earth in order to keep him subservient and meek. The son of a bitch!

 

Osiris watched his servant intently before continuing, "The first position you must learn is the kneel forward position. You will assume every position I command you to get into and you will practice them for your lord until you are able to assume them without hesitation."

 

"Yes My Lord."

 

"You are already in the kneeling position. From this position, my precious slave, you must place both of your hands a foot in front of your knees, palms down. Do so now!"

 

"Yes My Lord."

 

Daniel felt anger and defiance again surge forth and wanted to defy the snake but didn't dare take such a chance at the moment. He pressed his hands to the floor, palms down and awaited his next instruction.

 

Osiris grinned wickedly as he continued, "Your thumbs should touch forming a sixty degree angle and your index fingers should also touch forming a triangle directly in front of your body."

 

Daniel complied waiting for his next direction and feeling his need to oppose the Goa'uld lord continue to grow within.

 

Osiris continued, "Your wrists remain straight...very good my dear slave. Now you are to bow to me pressing the top of your forehead directly in the triangle you formed with your hands."

 

He was to bow before Osiris...hell no! He refused to do as ordered hissing when Osiris depressed the button on the device connected to his collar. Instantly pain filled him and he screamed collapsing to the floor as his body began to convulse in response to the new pain. He immediately gripped his throat, clutching desperately at the collar wanting to tear it off but not having the ability to do so. He could feel heat and electric surging throughout his body. As quickly as the pain began it suddenly ceased and Daniel found himself curling up on the floor still clutching desperately at his throat and trying to fight back the tears of pain that wanted to come. Oh God, he hurt so badly now! He tried to catch his breath swallowing hard as Osiris spoke softly in his ear, "I have not had to punish you with this device in a very long time, my pet. I believe you forgot it even existed. I have the device set slightly above the medium setting. You shame me by forcing me to resort to inducing such pain on your beautiful body for your defiance and resistance. Now you will apologize to your lord or you will be dragged to the whipping post and lashed for opposition. Those are your choices, my dear slave. You must choose which you would prefer. Of course if neither of those choices are satisfactory then your third option is to witness the destruction of yet another planet and I will make certain the next planet I choose is much more populated than Alandria was. CHOOSE!"

 

Daniel cursed wanting to strike out at the snake. He had forgotten the pain the damned collar was capable of emitting to his body. Shit, how could he have forgotten that so quickly? Son of a bitch! He listened to the snake give him his choices and knew that he really didn't have much of a choice so pushing down his impulses to attack the evil lord Daniel focused on placing himself back into the humiliating role of the passive, subjugated servant who did as his master bid of him always. He rose shakily to his knees then again placed his hands a foot in front of his knees, palms pressed to the floor, fingers lightly touching to form the triangle before his body then swallowed back his disgust at himself as he obediently lowered placing the top of his forehead in the triangle effectively assuming the kneel forward position for his master.

 

Osiris grinned wickedly as Daniel willingly moved into his newest position. He walked around the man bowing pathetically at his feet admiring the position he held his body in. As he circled behind Daniel his smile only broadened further and he licked his lips as he admired the view the position afforded him of his servant's gorgeous assets. The position effectively exposed Daniel's buttocks, anus and genitals. The man's testicles were also very exposed for his viewing pleasure. Yes, he would definitely have to order his servant into this position often. He chuckled lightly as his host stirred stepping forward also admiring the position Daniel Jackson was now being forced to assume. He could feel her anger and sadness for his servant's obvious humiliation at having to assume the very submissive and demeaning position. His smile only broadened as along with sensing his host's anger and sadness he could sense her pleasure and excitement at seeing the man she desired remaining so humble at her feet. Oh yes, Sarah Gardner was becoming quite satisfied with the power and strength he afforded her with by taking her as a host. She was beginning to draw much pleasure from seeing many of his victims put in their proper places. She especially seemed to draw much enjoyment out of seeing the men under his legion and under his rule willingly suffering extreme humiliation to serve him. He was certain that he would have little difficulty with her when he informed his defiant slave of the punishment for his refusal to submit.

 

Daniel could feel a warm blush spreading up across his neck and face as he felt cool air rushing across his buttocks and anus indicating to him just how exposed he now was. He felt humiliated in this position. In fact, the position openly exposed him to the Goa'uld lord for examination. Osiris could easily gain access to his groin and anus if he so chose. He closed his eyes tightly as he heard the Goa'uld lord softly moaning behind him. He could just picture the lust and pleasure in the snake's eyes at seeing his slave being made to hold himself wide open for easy exploration. Oh God, how long would he have to remain like this? How long?

 

Osiris continued to smile very pleased with the position Daniel was now maintaining. He prepared to punish the man for his defiance and pulled out a little device to help his servant realize who controlled his body completely. He then lowered behind Daniel Jackson reaching around the man's waist and gripping the man's flaccid penis in his hands as he casually slid a metal cock ring on the man's beautiful assets. He carefully slipped first one testicle then the other through the ring before feeding the man's flaccid penis through it and sliding it to the base of the man's genitals. After making sure the device was pressed firmly against the man's body he released his hold. He then proceeded to reach between the man's legs to wrap his hand firmly around his servant's penis and began to pump his hand up and down over the man's glorious dick.

 

Daniel jumped forcing himself to still and allow the snake to openly fondle him reminding himself over and over that he had no choice. As Osiris took his time fitting another device on his body Daniel was a bit concerned. Just what the hell was the snake fitting on his body now? He felt the ring being slipped over his testes and penis and swallowed hard gasping as Osiris then proceeded to rub his penis. He cursed and clenched his eyes tightly shut as his body betrayed him by responding almost instantly to Osiris' touches. As his dick hardened he hissed feeling his erection hardening so much that the new device now fitted on his body tightened. A fuckin' cock ring! The son of a bitch! Obviously Osiris was determined to make him respond whether he wanted to or not.

 

Osiris grinned wickedly as Daniel hardened immediately under his careful caresses successfully sporting one hell of an erection due to his lord's careful ministrations. He stood before his still bowing servant then said, "My dear slave soon you will learn your proper place. I should not have to continue to remind you of what you now are. Since you defied me by refusing to yield to your master's command you will be punished. You will remain in your kneel forward position until I release you. Is that understood?"

 

"Yes My Master."

 

"Good. That means should I desire to keep you here all night bowing to me then you will remain and you will not move. Is that understood?"

 

"Yes My Master."

 

"Very good...since my slave has been having much difficulty in following my rules and orders I have added another rule to your training. I believe My'la may have already covered this but I will repeat it. As long as you are being trained you will cease using personal words to refer to yourself. You may no longer use my, I or me when referring to yourself. If you do so you will suffer greatly. You are now restricted from using personal pronouns to refer to yourself. When you need to ask me something or are speaking of yourself you must replace any references to yourself as an individual with 'your slave', 'this slave' and 'slave'. Is that understood?"

 

"Yes My...your slave understands, Master."

 

"Very good. The only time you may place I, my or me in your sentences is when you address me directly. When you use my before master this demonstrates that you see me as your master. Is that understood?"

 

"Yes My Master."

 

Daniel cursed as Osiris made the newest rule. The fuckin' snake was doing anything he could think of to gain complete control of him. The bastard!

 

Osiris continued, "You will remain in your kneel forward position. If you fail to maintain it you will be punished severely. You must beg my forgiveness and this is how you will begin to do so."

 

Osiris then left to command one of his guards to the room. Once the guard was there he said, "Your duty is to monitor my slave. He is being punished. He must remain in this position until I decide to set him free. Here is the device to trigger his collar if he fails to do as commanded. He may not move for any reason. I have some things that I must see to. I will return when they are complete."

 

"Yes My Lord."

 

"Let me remind you that if my slave reports to me that you have mistreated him by placing your hands on him or harming him then you will be sent to the dungeons after being flogged for disrespect. If you make any negative comments to him or try to harm him in any other way I will not be very forgiving. Is that understood?"

 

"Yes My Lord."

 

Osiris then bent down beside Daniel saying, "You are to remain in this position until I release you. If you move my guard will punish you. I do not care if your legs go numb or your arms start to cramp. You will learn to willingly endure for your lord and you will learn to always obey your master. You must remain in this position until I release you. Is that understood?"

 

"Yes My Master."

 

"I will be back later. Enjoy your punishment, slave."

 

Daniel swallowed hard hearing the movements of the guard behind him. He felt totally humiliated and disgraced knowing that not only has Osiris seen him in this degrading position but now so has his one guard. He closed his eyes as his head started to throb. How long would Osiris leave him in this room with the guard? How long would Osiris make this punishment last? He knew the results of remaining in one position for too long. It would be very painful and he really wasn't looking forward to it. He inhaled sharply as the guard spoke, "You really should not disappoint our lord, slave. You are his honored chosen yet you insist on throwing your high status and privilege in your lord's face. I do not understand why he chooses to deal with such a troublesome slave. You appeal to him though I do not understand why that may be. Perhaps he senses that you are one whose spirit will not be easily broken. You should be thankful that he allows you to keep those traits for many of his slaves were punished until they learned to be totally subservient to their lord. Why he allows his favored to remain spirited is just as confusing as why he should desire to keep you. In the short amount of time you have been here you have gained the respect of many. Many say that you are the perfect one to replace their beloved goddess Isis..."

 

Daniel remained silent wondering why the guard chose to speak with him so openly all of a sudden. What the hell was going on? Why was the guard even taking the time to suggest he obey his lord? He wanted the damned guard to leave him be but found that in focusing his attention on the Jaffa his discomfort wasn't as noticeable. He knew not to speak or he would probably be punished but he couldn't hold back as he questioned, "Why are you telling me this?"

 

"Hmm, a slave who speaks without permission. You are either incredibly brave or incredibly stupid..."

 

“I'd much rather be incredibly brave. Thank you very much."

 

He tensed in preparation for the button to his collar to be depressed surprised when the device was not triggered. The guard smiled as he continued, "Ah, I see you know of what is correct and incorrect. You know that by speaking without permission you are to be punished immediately. You even stiffen your body in preparation for the expected penalty of your crimes yet you still speak out of turn, you still challenge those who have authority over you and you still challenge your god. You Tau'ri are very foolish creatures indeed to so openly enrage your god knowing that you will suffer for such defiance. I will never understand your race..."

 

"Maybe you should try..."

 

"Spirit and fire... Yes, you are still a proud warrior, a proud individual even knowing that you are no longer free. You are still strong even knowing that you are now a slave with no rights except those your master decides to grant you. You are indeed a very interesting creature Daniel Jackson. I should like to know why you feel you must always resist, always fight instead of openly accept what your lord has so graciously granted you."

 

Instead of answering the question Daniel stated, "Osiris may own my body, he may own me but he does not own my spirit or my soul. He doesn't own my heart. He doesn't control me completely and he never will."

 

Daniel again tensed preparing for the punishment he was certain would soon be delivered as he continued to break the rules of his station and speak out against Osiris. He listened intently for any sound or indication that the guard was ready to delve out his deserving punishment. The seconds stretched into minutes and yet he heard nothing and felt no pain. When he was certain that the guard would remain silent the Jaffa suddenly spoke up again breaking the silence, "Perhaps you are the one who is destined to replace our beloved Isis. You have her spirit, her courage and her strength. You also have the respect and adoration of her many followers. Yes, perhaps you are truly meant to serve as Osiris' equal on his throne. A simple man, a simple Tau'ri, wearing the marks of a slave and a eunuch has the spirit of the gods themselves...a slave who carries himself as a god. You are a truly fascinating creature. I believe I am beginning to understand why our lord would desire to keep you at all costs. You are a rare creature, Daniel Jackson."

 

"Uh, thanks...I think..."

 

"With your status and your importance to our lord you have much power though you do not even realize that you do. You should be using your abilities to help our lord instead of fighting him."

 

The guard fell silent yet again and Daniel waited for him to speak more but he said nothing. Daniel's attention was drawn back to his present predicament as he felt a sharp pain travel up through his left leg. He winced wanting desperately to move that leg but knowing the penalty for such actions. He remained stubbornly still determined to prove to Osiris that he could handle this cruel punishment.

 

As time ticked by Daniel began to wonder just how long he’d been in this position. His body continued to complain by sending little shooting pains through his limbs reminding him again and again of how the position was making his body more rigid and more stiff the longer he stayed completely still. He clenched his eyes tightly shut as he felt his left foot growing ever number the longer he held it in position. God at this rate he would be permanently stuck in this torturous pose. It was taking nearly all of his self-control to keep his complaints quiet and to hold his body so rigid and so still. Shit, what had Osiris said? He would learn to willingly endure for his lord...well, now that seemed to be what the hell he was doing right now! Shit! How long had he been in this position already? What time was it? Had it been hours or merely minutes since Osiris pronounced this punishment for his defiance? How long did he have left and what the hell would happen if he failed to do as was ordered? Osiris could be kind when he chose to be but when he was angered he could be nasty and evil. He could be downright scary. The snake was very complex. At times it treated him as if it loved him while at other times he was treated as if he were the vilest thing on the Earth...or in space...or on the planet...ah hell, the vilest thing in the universe? Yeah, universe sounded much better...shit, what the hell was he doing now? Examining his goddamn metaphors for accuracy? Was he crazy? Hell, he was something for the pain in his body and the stiffness was driving him insane. If he wasn't soon granted permission to move he would damned well do so despite the consequences...but then again Osiris had told him...started to threaten him with the destruction of his friends as well as another planet...who's to say the snake wouldn't accept the destruction of another planet as just punishment for his slave's inability to endure such suffering? Damn he was trapped, he was fuckin' trapped here! He had to get away! He just had to!

 

He started to think about Sam, Teal'c and Jack...God, were they even still looking for him or had they given up the search? He was MIA...had been MIA for more than a month so who's to say that his friends would even still be searching for him? Maybe they gave up and decided to leave him to his fate...NO! He would not think like that! His friends would never abandon him! NEVER! God, he had to stop thinking that way. He knew that the SGC would keep searching as well. Hammond would go to the damned President if someone tried to put a lid on the search and if someone succeeded in shutting the search down then Hammond, Sam, Teal'c and Jack would find other means to do so. He wondered if they had managed to make it to Osiris' home world only to discover that he and Osiris were not there at the moment. They were on board Osiris' ship...had been now for the last few weeks... They would be returning to Bursiris shortly where they would remain for some time before once again returning to the ship and heading to Naveria. Their next meeting, according to Osiris was with Dionysus and knowing the mythology surrounding the Greek god of wine he wasn't so sure that he wanted to meet the Goa'uld lord.

 

He found himself wondering if he would ever grow used to space travel on board a ship. They spent half their time on the planet of Bursiris and half their time aboard his lord's vessel. The ship was very stable considering it was traveling very fast through space. Half the time he forgot they were even on a ship. He actually liked traveling through space occasionally but Osiris' patterns of flight were very sporadic. They would sometimes spend a week or several weeks aboard the ship, returning to Bursiris for a week or so then board again. It was rather odd. He sensed that Osiris wasn’t too crazy about being aboard his ship. He seemed to prefer stable ground...probably another influence from Sarah. Sarah hated to fly and had been scared to death of heights. She was better with them now but still didn't like them. Osiris probably avoided his ship as often as possible because he could feel Sarah's uneasiness. In fact, she was probably more influential at those times...she probably surfaced and dominated more often due to her huge fear of heights.

 

He winced as his right leg started to spasm gently. Shit did that ever hurt! Where the hell was Osiris and why the hell wasn't he back? Someone needed to inform the snake that the human body just was not built to take such stress on it. SHIT! God did this position ever hurt! Son of a bitch! How much longer was the snake going to torment him like this? How much longer? He was certain that he would not be able to rise to his feet after spending so much time in this position. He really didn't like the idea of relying on the snake for support but was certain that by the time Osiris decided to get his damned snaky ass in here he would have no other choice. Just where the fuck was he? Shit, did he actually desire the snake's presence? Well, now that was a first. Isn't it funny how being forced to remain so still in such an uncomfortable position for forever made one desire the presence of the bastard who ordered him to remain in the pose? God, how did Jack ever deal with this kind of torture? He was certain that while imprisoned in Iraq his lover was made to remain in painful positions for long periods of time. God, Jack must've been through sheer hell! He had only been in this position for a few hours just how many times and for how long was Jack forced to remain in certain positions? Ah, Jack the pain and suffering you must've gone through. God, I'm so sorry you had to go through all that and alone...so sorry. Now I understand you more than you'll ever know, Jack, more than you'll ever know. As he thought of Jack he realized just how much he missed the man. God, the hardest part of this entire abduction was not being able to be with his friends or his lover. He never stopped thinking of Jack but sometimes he would force himself to forget because the memories just made his present situation so much more grim and saddened him greatly...God, how he missed his friends and his lover. Would he ever return home to them? Would he ever see his friends again? He struggled to keep their images burned in his mind. He couldn't afford to lose his memories or himself here. He could so easily do so and knowing that just scared the hell out of him for if he lost himself here then what would be left, an empty shell? A robot only performing the actions of life? He shivered as he thought of what could happen to him if he lost himself here and vowed to do everything in his power to prevent that from occurring.

 

                                                                                                    * * * * * * * *

Jack O'Neill paced his bedroom. He couldn't sleep no matter how hard he tried. He couldn't focus or do much of anything since Daniel was taken. God. Daniel where the hell are you? He hated the not knowing. They were all certain that Daniel was still on that planet but with the planet's gate now inactive they had no way to get to him except a ship. There were no ships readily available for their use. Where was Daniel?

 

Jacob Carter had told them that the planet Daniel had been captured on came under the rule of a new system lord recently and though the Tok'ra tried to get a spy in the system lord's midst no one could get close to him. They still had no knowledge of just whom the Goa'uld was that held Daniel. All they knew was that whoever this unnamed enemy was he was gathering armies and followers by the dozens. The Tok'ra received word of his arrival then disappearance from planets but had yet to catch up to him.

 

The only information they received from the Tok'ra recently though was regarding some big secret meeting. Jacob had spoken to him earlier saying that there was a meeting being set up between two system lords. It was a hush-hush meeting and no one was certain of just who the lords were. The Tok'ra intercepted a message regarding the meeting. It was to take place on Naveria and it was supposed to be very important. Jack wondered just what the hell that message had to do with Daniel. Jacob's only response was that preparations were made for a human slave to accompany the visiting system lord and that slaves rarely accompanied their masters to such secret meetings. Wow, a human slave. What the hell did that have to do with Daniel? Jack was certain that Jacob was hoping the human slave was their missing friend. It was a slim chance and most likely that slave wasn't his friend but Jacob was becoming just as desperate as he was to find some indication that Daniel Jackson was still alive and still out there somewhere. A small hope, no matter how minute it was, is still better than no hope at all.

 

Jacob needed that slave to be Daniel just as he needed that slave to be Daniel. They both needed some sign, some indication that Daniel was still alive and still a prisoner. They both needed proof, substantial proof. Jack was certain Daniel lived for if he didn't his heart would probably be broken in two but there was still that possibility hovering nearby always that Daniel just might be...Jack shook his head refusing to accept that answer. Daniel was still alive! He knew that he was! They just had to find him.

 

They had been searching for Daniel now for what a month, two months? They still had yet to locate him or hear anything about him. They still dialed up the planet he had disappeared from but had little else to go on. It would be a miracle if Daniel were this human slave being taken to the meeting...a miracle that didn't have a chance in hell of occurring.

 

Jack sighed heavily as he glanced out of his window staring up at the night sky. He knew that Daniel was out there...somewhere. God he missed that man. He missed going to bed at night with Daniel curled up beside him. He missed watching the man drift asleep and listening to his soft whispers of love in the middle of the night. He missed how those beautiful eyes would focus on him filled with desire, passion and love. He missed his fiery mate. Daniel was his lifeline. He lived for Daniel. He lived to taste him, kiss him, touch him, comfort him, hold him, love him... God, he missed Daniel so badly that it hurt. He wanted to scream and cry out about how unfair it was that he was stolen away. Why him? Why the hell was Daniel always the one who ended up in danger or missing? Why?

 

He became so frustrated that he exited his house walking aimlessly in the night needing to find comfort and solace in the one man he could not find. Without realizing it he found himself at Daniel's home. He entered and headed directly for the man's bedroom laying down on the bed and inhaling the deep scent that was all Daniel. Daniel's scent still clung to the mattress, pillows and blankets even after being gone for several weeks. Jack didn't try to make sense of why he could still smell his lover's scent amongst covers that should no longer be holding onto it. He didn't care. He was just relieved that he could still enjoy Daniel's scent even in his absence. He curled up burrowing under Daniel's covers feeling fresh tears leak from his eyes as he recalled the man who once lived here. God he missed that man so badly that it hurt. It hurt to breathe; it hurt to work...it hurt to be alive when his lover was in great peril. God, Daniel...if only you were here. If only...

 

                                                                                                    * * * * * * * *

Several Hours Later...

 

Daniel was still being made to remain in the kneel forward position. His arms and legs were now far passed the numbing point. His body was extremely stiff and he wanted desperately to move but knew the consequences of such actions. He swallowed hard listening as someone entered the room feeling relieved when Osiris excused the guard then lowered beside him asking, "Is my servant still aching for his lord?"

 

Osiris then casually reached between his legs, gently wrapping his hand around his erection. He unconsciously moaned aloud as the simple touch ignited pleasure within. He heard Osiris chuckling and closed his eyes tightly shut. He shivered as Sarah's voice filled the room as she spoke in a husky voice, "Yes Daniel, that is how you must respond to your lord always. Every touch, every caress and every brush of my hand should inflame you, excite you and begin an insistent craving and yearning deep within you."

 

"Yes My Lord," came Daniel's whispered reply.

 

"Now my precious servant that is enough training for you tonight. You may arise so that we can go to bed. Come."

 

"Thank you, My Lord."

 

Daniel attempted to move hissing as pain answered his efforts. He gasped as strong arms suddenly braced him and physically pulled him to his feet. He was again reminded of just how physically strong a Goa’uld could make its host. When he was on his feet his body started to quiver and he began to softly moan in pain as feeling started to flow back into previously numb limbs. He gasped again finding himself wrapped snugly in Osiris' arms and hoisted off of his feet being cradled as if he were a mere child. He continued to groan and hiss as feeling continued to flood his body. Osiris carried him to their bed and laid him down gently urging him to lie on his stomach. Once he had Daniel settled in the bed he spoke, "Rest, my precious Daniel. Rest and relax. Allow me to help ease the discomfort you are now in. Shh, shh...relax and allow me to help ease the stiffness in your limbs and body... MY'LA!"

 

The woman entered the room immediately upon her lord's call and bowed to him noticing that his newest servant was now lying on his stomach wincing. She had heard that he was being punished by his lord but not of how he was suffering. She watched him assuring herself that he was not marked or bleeding. She then focused on Osiris replying, "Yes My Lord?"

 

"Ah My'la, please bring a bottle of my favorite massage oil."

 

"Yes My Lord."

 

She left the room returning with the oil he requested. Then she bowed before continuing, "Does My Lord have any other requests?"

 

"Yes, please dim the lights as you leave. Light some of those candles you are so fond of and leave us undisturbed. Return in a few hours to make certain that the candles are properly extinguished should we happen to drift off before your return."

 

"Yes My Lord."

 

She quickly did as bid leaving to retrieve some of the candles her lord requested. After she exited their bedchamber Osiris straddled Daniel gently hushing him as he spoke soothingly, "What I want my precious servant to do is relax and allow me to help ease the stiffness and pain from your body. Relax, my sweet Daniel, relax."

 

"Hmm, yes My Lord."

 

Daniel complied and shortly, thereafter, his hisses of pain turned into sighs of pleasure and relief as Osiris started a slow, sensual massage across his body starting with his neck and shoulder muscles. He inhaled deeply as heady scents filled the room. As Osiris started to work massage oil into his back he felt his body and mind begin to relax as the soothing smells of ylang-ylang, sandalwood and jasmine filled the bedchamber. He moaned softly as the small dainty fingers of Sarah's started to work magic into the stiff, painful muscles of his neck. As the fingers gently squeezed the tense muscles of his neck working up towards the base of his skull he could feel the tension slipping away. He groaned louder as those same hands moved to his shoulders. He relaxed further as those hands started to work the kinks out of his muscles. The first strokes started out as long, flowing and gliding strokes. He hissed several times as fingers bit and dug into sore muscles but it wasn't long before the pain subsided to be replaced by a warm, tingly feeling of absolute calm. He felt himself begin to relax as Osiris continued to massage him working well-practiced fingers into taut muscles making them soft and pliable in his hands. The stiffness and pain subsided quickly under the newest touch. He felt those hands working the muscles of his shoulders, neck, back and arms then trailing down to knead at his buttocks. He wanted to yank away and fight against the sudden intimate touch but was too relaxed.

 

He faintly heard someone enter the bedchamber and wondered who was there. He listened to the soft swooshing of feet against plush carpet and determined that the visitor was now beside their bed. As Osiris softly spoke he heard the Goa'uld lord saying thank you to one of his servants and telling them that they could now leave them for the evening. As he heard a woman's soft voice reply with a ‘yes My Lord’ he realized their visitor was My'la. He listened to her exit, groaning again as Osiris continued to knead and pinch his buttocks lightly. He suddenly became aware that his penis was openly responding to the sudden touch on his backside, throbbing and aching intensely as it remained very hard beneath him. The cock ring was obviously functioning well if he was still so very hard after so many hours. He felt as if he had a damned permanent hard on that just didn't want to soften.

 

After kneading his buttocks so tenderly Osiris worked on soothing the muscles of his legs and massaging his feet. Daniel felt much more relaxed than he had previously. He became aware that Osiris was gently urging him to roll over onto his back and without thought he readily complied with the order. He was completely caught off guard when Osiris suddenly bent down, planted a kiss on the tip of his very hard cock then laved his tongue back and forth across head of his penis several times.

 

Daniel groaned feeling his breath hitch in his throat as the simple gestures sent new heat traveling and surging throughout his body. As that warm, moist tongue flicked across the head of his penis several more times he became aware that he was very turned on and aching to reach climax. He desperately grasped the sheet beneath him bunching it up in both of his hands as he moaned loudly in pleasure and his body arched up to offer more to that tantalizing mouth now pleasuring him. He gasped this time hissing as, in the next moment, his entire dick became engulfed in Sarah's mouth. As he became aware that she had managed to take him completely into her moist mouth all he could utter was, "Oh God!"

 

He tried to remember that Osiris was the one who was orally pleasuring him and not Sarah. He desperately wanted to deny the Goa'uld lord but that mouth wrapped around him just felt so damned good. He instantly trapped his heart away so that his love for Jack wouldn't be tainted by the amazing pleasure and desire Osiris was now evoking within him. He allowed primal instinct to take over and allowed the intense pleasure and euphoria to take hold of him.

 

As Osiris started to gently suck him and those soft hands, Sarah's hands, started to roam Daniel was certain that he'd become lost in passion. He felt explosive desire and heat flooding him and became enveloped in the raw desire and pleasure such an act was inciting within him.

 

Osiris pulled back to the head of Daniel's penis and started to run his tongue in circles around the swollen, pulsing head teasing and taunting him. Daniel forced himself to watch as pleasure continued to consume him. He stared intently at the one now servicing him so thoroughly. He felt his mouth begin to dry as watching Osiris pay such careful close attention to him effectively heated him up further. He hissed as Osiris raised his head focusing Sarah's eyes on his face watching him with just as much interest as he was. As those eyes flared bright white with a hot intensity Daniel felt his desire grow to overwhelming proportions.

 

Osiris continued to watch his slave's face as he flicked his tongue rapidly back and forth across the tip of the man's very erect penis. Oh yes, his slave was very passionate indeed. The fire and passion that the man kept locked away was extremely intense. He could tell that Daniel was enjoying being pleased immensely. Oh, yes, his little slave was quite a passionate, desirable creature. He was very pleased with his slave, very pleased. He chuckled huskily around the man's penis as Daniel broke eye contact only to moan loudly and toss his head back in immense euphoria. Yes, this is the side of Daniel Jackson he had craved to see for so long. This side of the man was beautiful to behold, indeed. The man was obviously passionate though he locked that passion away so few ever saw this side of him. He could feel his host's body continuing to respond to the man groaning and moaning beneath them. The heat and moisture at his middle was very noticeable as Sarah's body yielded her fresh juices in response to being intensely turned on. Feeling that damp, warm, moisture between his legs drove Osiris to distraction. Oh, yes this was one of the reasons he chose to remain in a female body instead of finding a new male host. With a female he could experience new pleasures and new feelings. The feel of Sarah's heat between his legs fired him up and made him even more excited and aroused. Osiris was certain he was going to explode as his servant spoke again, "Please, oh God please..."

 

Osiris continued to taunt and torment still watching Daniel's face as he responded so openly and so willingly to his touches and intimate samplings. As his servant spoke in a voice full of need and overwhelming desire Osiris could feel the heat between his legs only increase as Sarah's juices continued to soak into the thin panties she so loved to wear. He was certain they would need a thorough cleaning after tonight. He smiled broadly as Daniel's next words came out pleadingly, "Please...oh God...please My Lord...please... Please, I beg of you, My Lord...please..."

 

"Please what my precious? What does my precious servant require of his lord?"

 

Daniel could no longer hold back his pleas of desire. He wanted to climax, hell he ached and burned to climax. He felt as if he would explode if he soon didn't reach his apex. As Osiris stopped his tongue action Daniel thought he would lose it and instantly begged for release. As his lord asked him what he required he willing answered, "My Lord, please, please..."

 

"Tell me what you desire my precious. Tell me and I will grant you your desire."

 

"Please...oh God...My Lord, please allow me to climax for you. Please, My Lord. I beg of you please allow me to come for you. PLEASE!"

 

Osiris returned to licking Daniel then again engulfed him sucking him harder and harder urging the man to climax. He wanted desperately to taste his servant's sweet nectar and set to work determined to draw the prize from him. He grinned as Daniel suddenly cried out as he finally hit orgasm. Osiris watched him intently wanting to see the man's face as he erupted for him. When Daniel's body finally yielded the much sought after prize Osiris gladly drank of his offering then focused on licking the man clean before quickly shedding his royal robes until he was as naked as his precious slave. He smiled as Daniel continued to breathe heavily as his fulfillment was reached. He watched the man then pressed his hot body against Daniel hearing the man groan in pleasure the instant the skin on skin contact was made. He then slowly slid his host's body up across that of his slave's and gently pressed a kiss to Daniel's lips. He moaned in satisfaction and pleasure as Daniel's arms wrapped around him to hold him closely. He snuggled in the hold before kissing Daniel again then speaking softly, "That is how I wish my slave to respond to me always."

 

Daniel swallowed hard still trying to regain a normal semblance of breathing before replying, "Yes My Lord."

 

Osiris smiled cupping Daniel's face between his hands as he continued in the soft tone, "You just rest, my precious servant. You must be very tired. Rest and relax."

 

"Hmm...yes My Lord."

 

As sleep started to flow over him and passion started to dissipate Daniel realized what he had just done. He had openly responded to his captor and betrayed Jack. Oh God! He felt tears piercing his eye lids and quietly whispered, "Oh God Jack please forgive me."

 

He could feel the beginnings of shame fill him as the realization that he so willingly flaunted himself and responded to the snake entered him. What had he done? What could he do? He had no choice but to respond to the snake but he still felt dirty and used. This was only the first time...he was certain with the amount of lust and yearning he has seen in Osiris' eyes that this would not be the last time he would have to give the system lord sexual favors to keep him appeased and keep him from destroying others to maintain his absolute obedience and submission. He had little time to focus on that guilt though for sleep quickly claimed him.

 

Early the next morning he awoke finding himself still very naked and wrapped in the silky arms of Sarah. As he opened his eyes to look at her face he recalled a time long ago when they had been lovers. They were no longer for Sarah was now a Goa'uld. Sarah was no more. She was a host to a parasite being controlled by it and repressed by it. He tried to remember what had happened the previous night and as he became aware of his very naked state the memories of last night plagued him. Oh God he had responded to the snake. He had willingly climaxed for the creature holding him prisoner. He had begged to be granted release. God, Jack...Jack would probably hate him now for he betrayed their love. He betrayed Jack. God, how could he have so openly responded to the snake? Sure Osiris threatened to destroy another world but could he prevent that fate from happening? Of course not who was he trying to fool? He couldn't even save those people on Alandria. He could feel his guilt and shame collapsing inward on himself. He wanted to cry, to scream, to yell. He had to escape this horrible prison. He had to escape and get free of the system lord who was determined to own him body and soul. If he didn't get away he might very well lose himself here.

 

As the woman beside him moaned he clenched his eyes shut recalling how beautiful and kind Sarah was before Osiris took hold of her. She was so innocent and now she was trapped. He watched her as she slept. Her face was as beautiful now as it had been the day Osiris took control. She was a vision of beauty and innocence now marred by the evil parasite within her. As he lay there watching her sleeping he could feel his heart stirring for her. He had loved her at one time. Had loved her and had planned to marry her...then he disappeared from her life. He never told her he wanted to marry her even though the thought had crossed his mind on several occasions, but their relationship just wasn't meant to be.

 

He continued watching her noticing the light complexion of her face, and the smooth contours that attained to her youthfulness. Sarah was young...too young to have her life stolen from her by such an evil creature. Her hair was a bit longer than it had been before, kind of like his...though his seemed to grow at a much faster rate then hers. His hair was almost as long as it had been the day he had first met Jack O'Neill. Boy if Jack could see him now what would he say? He'd probably be surprised to see that the unruly mop of hair was back hanging in his eyes and lying across his forehead...well that's what Jack had called it before...an unruly mop...Daniel, of course, liked the longer hair but now he wasn't so fond of it. In fact, he preferred the shorter haircut because it made him look older, more mature and Osiris insisted that short hair was not for him...so of course he wanted that short hair back...maybe if his hair was shorter again he would be less appealing to the system lord and the damned snake would be able to keep his hands to himself. He had noticed that ever since his capture Osiris had to touch him, stroke his hair, trace his face, rub his arm...little gestures that spoke volumes of how much Osiris desired to make him more than just a mere servant. The snake had been attracted to him since the beginning. Sarah probably helped heat up the snake's desire for him...he hated to think of all the nice little memories Osiris probably received of his time with Sarah...they had a rather intense sex life...to say the least. They also had an experimental sex life...when he was with her that was the first time he ever slept with another man...Sarah had suggested trying a threesome and invited one of her college buddies over. Needless to say the evening was quite...stimulating. He shivered as he thought of the other things they had experimented with in their sex life. God, please let Osiris not have a yearning to try some of those things.

 

As she moaned again he immediately cast his eyes away. The last thing he needed was for Osiris to realize he had been staring. He inhaled sharply trying not to jerk away when Sarah's hand suddenly caressed the left side of his face. It was difficult sometimes to remember that this thing beside him wasn't Sarah. He so wanted to jerk away but the threat Osiris had made the previous night kept him immobile. He shuddered inside as Osiris spoke, "My precious Daniel come it is time we rise again. You must be refitted with your chastity belt though I would much prefer you as you are..."

 

He jumped as the other hand suddenly wrapped around his genitals. He wanted to jerk away but made himself remain still. He closed his eyes as he felt that hand caress him and gently manipulate the cock ring sliding it off his genitals. Osiris continued, "Unfortunately you must remain flaccid so that your beautiful penis will fit back into it's tight metal tube...poor man having to remain flaccid, unable to touch yourself and unable to climax while locked in chastity...but it is all for your own good, love. All for your own good for if others were to see what an amazing piece you have nestled between your thighs I am sure that they would desire to own you. We must lock you back up nice and tight to keep you safe from others and safe from yourself. After all you are a slave, my slave, and as a slave you are forbidden to satisfy yourself. You may only satisfy yourself for your god and no other so up...rise up and submit to My'la's care. You may go bathe first if you would like then you must return to receive your chastity belt. Is that understood?"

 

"Yes My Lord."

 

"Then go...you have no need of robes you may enter the bath house wearing nothing but your collar and leash. I rather enjoy watching you parade about in nothing but that sexy body of yours. You must keep it hidden so often...you will also report to the priest for your daily shave. Is that understood?"

 

"Yes My Lord."

 

"Actually I shall send him to you."

 

“No, please My Lord..."

 

"All right then you will go see him. You will dress in your robe to report to him. I do not wish for others to see you fully exposed to their eyes. It is a privilege and an honor to be able to look upon my favored's genitals."

 

Daniel swallowed hard in response to that comment then rose out of the bed and entered the bathhouse. He wasted little time bathing fearing that Osiris might just find an excuse to join him and not wanting to have to offer his body up for the system lord again so soon.

 

After finishing he hesitantly re-entered their bedchamber and grabbed his robe, hating the fact that he had to report to the priest daily to have his pubic hair shaved off. Osiris didn't want him to have any hair on or near his genitals. He requested that Daniel report to the priest once a week to be shaved. He wrapped the robe around him and reported to the priest feeling the humiliation that always trailed him when he was made to lay upon the altar and spread his legs open wide for the priest to perform his daily cleansing.

 

He entered the priest's chambers feeling every nerve stand on end as the priest approached saying, "Ah Master Daniel, you have come for your daily cleansing."

 

"Yes."

 

"Very good. Please disrobe before me."

 

He hesitantly complied with the priest's demands swallowing hard as his next order was softly spoken, "Very good...now lay upon the altar and open yourself for my ministrations."

 

God how he hated this! Why the hell did he have to be shaved weekly and why the hell couldn't Osiris allow him to do it himself...or if the fuckin' snake insisted why not allow My'la or Zeenan to do it. He felt so much more comfortable in their presence. While with the priest he felt uneasy. He was certain that the man drew some sick, twisted pleasure from shaving him. God this was so damned humiliating!

 

He slowly sat down on the altar before lying back like he was told. He immediately turned his head to the left closing his eyes not wanting to see the priest preparing the razor for his cleansing. He wanted to fight and resist. He wanted to tell the priest he would not submit to this degradation but he had no choice. The priest had resorted to using shackles to restrain him in place when he fought previously. He still could remember how much more humiliating that had been. The priest had grown tired of his resistance and called in several guards who so kindly pinned him to the altar, locked his wrists into shackles that were imbedded into either side of the altar and grabbed his leash yanking on it painfully while his legs were forced into stirrups that spread him painfully open and made him shamelessly exposed for all to see. His legs had been locked in place at the ankles, the knees and the upper thighs to insure that he couldn't move them. Another strap had been pulled securely across his hips and waist to secure him to the altar so that he would be unable to move while being shaved. Along with taking his damn good old time to shave him the priest allowed the guards to hold him immobile and to maintain the vicious hold they had on his lead chain. The priest also took the razor across his middle not once or twice but four times telling him he had to make certain that no hair remained. Daniel did not care to have a repeat performance of those times. He had been willing to cooperate with the priest the week after that but instead of allowing him the opportunity to willingly cooperate he was again locked into the horrible restraints and held by guards. He was made to suffer that method of being shaved for a month. He learned to willingly cooperate with the priest after that.

 

He felt his body automatically tense as he heard the priest laying out his materials. He then heard the next command, "Open up for me, Master Daniel. You must widen your legs a bit more."

 

Daniel obeyed still refusing to look at the priest or even watch what he was doing. He felt the cream being applied to his groin and then the razor and forced himself to remain still while the priest carefully shaved him. Once done the priest cleaned him then applied soothing lotion to the area just shaved. He then said, "Very good...one more area to shave."

 

God, he hated this even more. He lifted to allow the priest to place several pillows underneath his hips, which successfully arched his middle upwards allowing for easy access to his anal area. He gripped the edges of the altar beneath his fingers feeling the ancient stone dig into his palms and using that sensation to keep his mind preoccupied while the priest shaved the hair off from around his anus. God, why did he have to be shaved there as well? Osiris wasn't just satisfied with his groin being shaved he wanted the hair that naturally grew around a person's anus to be shaved as well. A gentle tap to his right hip indicated that he could lift up again and the pillows were removed. He sat up and accepted his robe from the priest's hand. He quickly put it back on then forced himself to bow to the priest in a show of respect and gratitude as he said, "Thank you for my daily cleansing, my priest."

 

"You are quite welcome. I shall see you again next week, Master Daniel."

 

He quickly exited the priest's chamber feeling ash in his mouth. He hated having to thank the damned priest for his shaving as well. This was another demand the priest insisted upon. If he refused to thank him then the following week he would be treated to the stirrups. How he hated having to be subservient to so many people in Osiris' legion. It grated on his damned nerves having to remain meek and submissive to those more powerful than he. He had to get away from this ship, away from Osiris and away from the place that was now his prison and his hell.

 

He quickly returned to the bedchamber seeing My'la already there awaiting his return. She said, "Are you ready to be fitted?"

 

"Uh...yes..."

 

My'la lowered her voice to a soothing pitch as she addressed him, "First you must relax yourself. You always become so upset when we must do this."

 

Daniel cast a shy glance at the servant before breaking the gaze and focusing on the floor beneath his feet. My'la simply shook her head wondering if Daniel would ever grow comfortable and relaxed with this. He was very shy when it came to issues relating to his sexuality or to sex in general. She had noticed early on that he needed privacy to do many things. It was because of that need that she allowed him to bathe alone and that she didn't walk right in when he was in their lord's chamber alone. Even her lord must have realized that side of Daniel Jackson, for he had been slow and patient with the man the previous night. She had watched from the doorway as Osiris massaged Daniel before setting to work pleasing him. She had been surprised that instead of demanding Daniel satisfy him first Osiris chose to service his servant. She wondered if it was because he did not want to frighten the man.

 

She worked on securing the belt around his waist then carefully fitting the front shield in place. She noticed that he was a bit jittery, which was unusual...except she knew that Daniel had just returned from the priest's chambers. He was also more nervous and anxious after visiting the priest...another thing that confused her. She knew that the priest would never harm Osiris' favored or dare to touch him in any inappropriate way yet each and every time Daniel returned from there he was more anxious. The only thing she could figure is that the priest made him feel uneasy for some reason or another. As she noticed the sudden increase in Daniel's breathing she spoke soothingly again, "We are almost done, Master Daniel. You must stay calm."

 

"My'la, I told you to call me Daniel, not master..."

 

"Master is your proper title for you serve Osiris and you are his favored...to us you are our master..."

 

"No...please, just call me Daniel. I master no one."

 

"Daniel, why do you find it so difficult to accept the honored title of master?"

 

"Because I'm not a master...to anyone...I am a slave just like you. I am no master."

 

"But you are. You may wear the marks of a servant but all know that you are equal to our lord. You are equal to the great goddess Isis..."

 

"No! Why does everyone insist on comparing me to her...no...My'la, I'm a simple human being...a Tau'ri...an enemy not an equal to Osiris."

 

"Master Daniel, you are a very intriguing individual..."

 

Daniel sighed heavily then simply replied, "Yes, so I've been told."

 

My'la smiled at that response then worked on finishing locking him back into chastity. She noticed that he seemed a bit more relaxed and was relieved when she finished securing the belt to his physique. He seemed to know the instant she was done for he relaxed a bit then moved to the bed without her having to tell him to. She then performed her next duty gently massaging the oil into Daniel's flesh to make his body shine and shimmer in the light. Once she was finished with that task she leaned down beside his right ear and whispered, "Daniel, it is time for you to awake and rise."

 

Daniel's quiet sleepy voice echoed throughout the bed chamber, "Wha...what? What is it My'la?"

 

She giggled before answering, "You fell asleep during your preparations. It is time for you to join our lord in his throne room."

 

"Yeah...a moment please..."

 

"Daniel, you are a strange..."

 

"Don't say it...I already know."

 

She giggled again watching as he arose to his feet and headed to the lord's throne room.

 

Zeenan smiled warmly as he saw Daniel enter, approach Osiris, elegantly bow then apologize in docile yet appealing tones to his lord for being late. Osiris merely smiled at him, nodded his head then spoke softly, "Come Daniel. Come sit with me."

 

"Yes My Lord."

 

Zeenan only shook his head in awe and surprise. Daniel's speech lessons were now deeply engrained in him. He was graceful and sensual in every move, gesture and comment he made. He had the attention of all who were present in the main room as soon as he entered and Osiris seemed extremely happy. In fact, Osiris has been in a much better mood since Daniel Jackson became his prisoner and his servant. He smiled warmly towards Daniel when he cast a glance his way and nodded his head in a show of respect and greeting. Daniel never failed to greet all those in the room. He never neglected to at least acknowledge one's presence. In fact, he seemed to try his hardest to treat everyone as equals and to greet everyone in turn. He watched the man who in such a short time earned his respect and his allegiance. Daniel was almost like a brother to him. He viewed the man as such and was pleased when Daniel reciprocated. He knew that Daniel was not happy here. He desperately missed his friends, his world, and his other life yet he tried to make the best of things. Occasionally he would find Daniel sitting by an open view port just gazing up into the night sky. He had questioned Daniel on several occasions about why he seemed so enamored with the stars and space. Daniel would often simply smile and say that they made him feel calm and relaxed. One night he had admitted that the sky made him think of places he had visited, world's he had been to and people he had met.

 

                                                                                                              * * * *

As evening fell Daniel made his way quickly to the bathhouse wanting desperately to sink into the water and wash away the feelings of disgust, of outrage and of humiliation he felt upon submitting to his captor so openly and so willingly the previous evening. He quickly undressed and rushed to the bath slowly easing into the warm water and moaning as he slipped his body down beneath the surface. This is what he had been waiting for all day and all evening. His body felt so dirty and so soiled that he was desperate to clean it and scrub it.

 

Daniel wasted little time seizing a washcloth and soap. He quickly applied a rich lather to his skin then began to scrub vigorously until his skin burned and tingled under the pressure and under the unprovoked assault. He felt so dirty and so cheap. He needed to rinse himself off, to rinse off that touch and rid himself of the feelings of betrayal that continued to boil within him. He lowered into the water rinsing his body of all the soap but still felt so very dirty so without further thought he again focused on vigorously applying a rich lather of soap across his now burning flesh followed by forceful scrubbing that only gave his tanned flesh a red cast and made his body hurt all the more. He had to get rid of that scent, of that touch, of all trace of the one who had violated him last evening. He hadn't been raped...no, he had however allowed the Goa'uld lord to use him. He had responded to the snake and had allowed it to draw a response from his unyielding body but he wasn't raped. NO...men didn't get raped...it was sex, just sex...not even sex...oral sex...that's all no rape and no assault had occurred. Osiris had been very gentle and slow. He wasn't raped. A rape required violence...a rape required one being beaten...he had not been beaten. He had simply been used. Osiris had been gentle and there was no force. He hadn't been raped. HE HADN'T!

 

Daniel cursed as he continued to scrub his body a third time still feeling so ashamed and so cheap. He shook his head as he started mumbling, "No, not raped, wasn't raped...no...just sex, sex...he gave me pleasure and I responded that's all. THAT'S ALL!"

 

So why did he feel as if he had been sexually assaulted by the Goa'uld lord? Why did he feel as if he had been violated? Why did he feel as if he had been ambushed and attacked? Why did he feel like he had been raped after all? Because you were...NO! He wasn't! NO! How could it be rape? How? There was no violence, none! Daniel unconsciously wrapped his arms around his body protectively and started to rock slowly back and forth staring at the water still bubbling around him. He squeezed his eyes shut as he heard a voice so faint, a voice that sounded so much like Jack O'Neill's responding to his last thought, 'He destroyed a planet, Daniel. He destroyed an entire race of beings to get your cooperation. You were raped Daniel, raped. You did nothing wrong. You were assaulted...'

 

NO! No, no, NO! He silently screamed for the voice of reason, the voice that sounded exactly like his love, to cease...of course like Jack the voice was persistent. He whispered, "Stubborn bastard!"

 

Oh God, was he losing it now? He was having a damned conversation with a voice that sounded like Jack's. He was talking to Jack when the man wasn't even here. He was nowhere near here. Why was he speaking with Jack as if he were in the room? Why did the voice in his head sound exactly like his lover? Why?

 

He felt shivers travel the length of his spine as that icy cold word screamed in his head: RAPE...he had been raped... NO! No! I was not raped! It was sex, pleasure...not, not...NO! Again that voice whispered in his mind making him feel even more anxious and upset, 'Yes you were, Daniel. You haven't betrayed anyone. You were betrayed...you were attacked and used. He destroyed a planet Daniel...you didn't want sex, even said no but he still found a means to force your hand. In my book that's rape...that's rape Daniel.'

 

"Shut up Jack! Shut up! I can't handle this! I can't! Didn't happen! It never happened!"

 

'It did and the sooner you realize it the sooner you will be able to begin to heal.'

 

"NO! NO!"

 

He curled inward on himself, folding like a chair making him self into a small ball feeling water running down over his exposed skin and feeling fear, pain, anger, rage and shame flood him. Oh God, oh God he had been...he had been...and it would happen again...it would. Osiris wouldn't be satisfied with just one night. The Goa'uld lord seemed extremely pleased with how well his servant functioned in the bedroom. Yeah, I'm his perfect little fuck toy now. He won't get rid of me. He'll never let me go. Never.

 

Trapped, he was trapped. He wanted to cry but all he felt was this intense rage and anger and it was all directed at one individual, at one vindictive creature. He wanted to hurt that snake, to hurt him and make him pay for what he had done. He wanted to hurt...he so wanted to make that serpent suffer as he was now suffering. God he was becoming something he hated and despised. He was becoming a creature without a heart, one that would kill to escape and not care of what the consequences of such an action would reap on him. What was happening to him? He was starting to disappear, to be swallowed up in this never-ending hell that was now his life. Oh God, did he ever need someone's help to pull him back from the path he was now headed in. He needed someone to catch him when he fell into the abyss...hell he needed Jack for without Jack O'Neill with him he was losing himself and becoming more and more of what Osiris wanted. He was forgetting who he truly was and transforming into something too hideous to even consider. Jack was his salvation but Jack was gone. He might never see Jack again and without Jack, without the man's strong steadfast support and comfort he was doomed.

 

Daniel finished his bath hesitantly rising out of the water to grab up the towel lying off to the side. His mind wouldn't allow him to forget the events of the previous evening. He had allowed the Goa'uld lord, his captor, to use him. He had allowed it and he had responded. He willingly betrayed his lover to satisfy a serpent. Oh God, he could never go back now. Never. How could he ever face Jack again knowing that he...that he...knowing what he had done? But he had no choice! NO CHOICE! If he would've refused, God if he would've refused...all those people were dead now, a planet was no more...destroyed because...because Osiris wanted more from him than just his company. He wanted so much more and he had no choice but to sacrifice him self, sacrifice his body to appease the system lord and to keep him from doing it again. Osiris would never quit. He would always hold that threat and the threats on Earth, on Jack over him for the rest of his life. Those threats would hold him here and make him more a prisoner of Osiris then the collar, leash and chastity belt ever could...

 

Osiris smiled as he watched his servant enter their bedchamber. He could smell the soft aroma of soap and shampoo clinging to Daniel's smooth, supple skin. He watched his servant as the man approached his desk. He was rather certain that Daniel didn't yet realize he was in the room. Osiris smiled as he continued to silently observe the man. He remembered just how enjoyable the previous evening was and wanted to take things even further. He continued to watch Daniel feeling his need and his desire for the man increase.

 

Daniel sat down at his desk feeling his rage continue to build. Why did he feel so angry at the moment? Why? It was unlike him to feel such intense rage and anger. As he glanced up at himself in the mirror his rage only increased. He noticed the tight clenching of his jaw, the stony look that even now was spreading across his face and the fury making his eyes spark like blue fire. Rage and anger were emotions he rarely allowed himself to experience for when he did he was uncertain as to just what all he might be capable of. As he continued to gaze at the bitter, outraged man in that mirror he became aware that his palms ached. He focused on his hands realizing why...he was actually clenching his hands so tightly together that he was ramming his fingernails into his palms. The pain was a small irritant but instead of easing the tension there he only tightened his fists more feeling the need to lash out at something, at anything.

 

Why the hell did Osiris have to use him, have to force him to respond so willingly to him? Why had he allowed himself to get caught up in that onslaught of arousal and desire? Why had he dared to allow himself to need fulfillment from his captor? Why had he so willingly betrayed the one he claimed to love with all his heart...Jack. Oh God, he’d betrayed Jack...

 

He jumped as hands suddenly gripped him about his upper shoulders. Without looking he knew who was now touching him and he hated that being, that creature with every fiber of his being. Without hesitating he snapped, "DON'T FUCKIN' TOUCH ME! DON'T FUCKIN' TOUCH ME, DAMN IT!"

 

He jerked so violently from that hold that he struck the desk causing it to shake enough to set several things to overturn in response. He directed his attention back to the serpent as those hands found him again. He jerked out of his seat upturning his chair with the abruptness of the action turning to glare sinisterly at the one who refused to back off and leave him alone. He continued still in an outraged voice, "Keep your damned hands off of me! I don't want to be touched! Leave me the hell alone!"

 

"Daniel..."

 

"NO! LEAVE ME ALONE!"

 

Osiris had been startled upon hearing Daniel's angry words and as the man jumped to his feet his concern only increased. Daniel was so angry right now. As he took the time to study his servant he could see that deep down inside the man was seething with anger. He was a bit confused as to where the sudden rage originated. Osiris refused to back off as he suggested, "Daniel come. Let us sit. We must discuss some things."

 

"NO!"

 

Osiris reached out to place his hands on Daniel's shoulders prepared to make the suggestion again but when Daniel responded by violently shoving his arms away Osiris could feel his own anger increase. He spoke with barely controlled civility, "Daniel, if you will not do as I tell you willingly then I will be forced to move you to where I desire you to sit."

 

"Keep your damned hands off of me!"

 

"Daniel, this is foolishness. You have no reason to be angry..."

 

"No reason? NO REASON! Why you son of a bitch!"

 

"DANIEL! You are testing my patience. This course of action is unwise. You will sit where I tell you and we will speak of what is bothering you."

 

"What's bothering me? What's bothering me? Oh you actually give a shit about how I feel? That's a damned joke, that's a laugh...don't patronize me!"

 

"I do not patronize, my precious one..."

 

Daniel lashed out at the serpent grabbing Osiris about the upper arms prepared to shake him. Osiris focused cold eyes on him as he spoke in an even menacing tone, "Tell me what you intend to do, my precious one. Do not start a battle that you cannot win. I am much stronger than you. I can easily take control of you. You do not want to anger me for you will not like the result."

 

"Leave me alone!"

 

Daniel refused to yield his hold so without hesitation Osiris countered by jerking free of Daniel's grasp, gripping him about the shoulders and directing him to the bed forcing him to sit down on the mattress. Daniel's anger only increased as the Goa'uld lord took control of him so swiftly. He refused to accept defeat as he lashed out clawing Osiris across the face and grabbing for the serpent's neck with the intent to kill.

 

Osiris growled and hissed as Daniel's nails raked across his cheek drawing blood to the surface. When the man's fingers found and encircled his throat Osiris shoved him down on the bed intending to pin the man in place. In one fell swoop he had Daniel's body pinned back first on the bed his arms now above his head secured on either side of his body within the painful hold. Daniel growled as he resorted to bucking and struggling against his captor.

 

Osiris sighed heavily as he spoke evenly, "You should accept defeat my dear Daniel, for the longer you struggle the more you will tire. I am much stronger than you. To fight me is senseless."

 

"Get off! GET OFF!"

 

"I will not. You are in need of restraining for your anger is great..."

 

"FUCK YOU!"

 

"Daniel, it is very unwise for you to continue to anger your god. You will only bring about more pain. Now cease your ridiculous attempts at evading me."

 

Daniel was so outraged that he was now effectively pinned to the bed and Osiris had gained control so quickly. The damned son of a bitch! All he wanted was for the snake to get off of him and leave him alone. He lashed out again feeling a small victory as his foot impacted flesh and the snake hissed as pain flared in his shin.

 

Osiris' response to that kick was to lie on top of him and force his wrists firmly against the mattress. The Goa'uld's physical strength effectively pinned him in place and as that lithe body pressed so intimately against his own Daniel felt his anger dissipate to be replaced by fear and panic. The Goa'uld lord was now pinning him to the bed and was nearly naked. NO! As the realization that all the Goa'uld lord had to do was remove a thin barrier of cloth in order to rape him filled his mind he renewed his struggles fighting desperately to escape the creatures restrictive hold.

 

Osiris noticed the instant that Daniel's anger dissipated and as he focused on his servant's handsome face he saw that strong emotion being replaced by another more powerful emotion...fear, not just fear but also panic. Daniel was panicking. Osiris became puzzled when he noticed the newest emotion that triggered Daniel to resist yet again. Why was his servant afraid? Why was he panicking? Sarah's voice came back to him as she answered, 'Because you have gained control over him...he is no longer thinking of harming us now he only wants desperately to regain the control he knows he has lost.'

 

"I do not understand, Sarah."

 

'He fears that you will now take advantage of him. You have gained control and now he fears that you will push him to service us again.'

 

"It is his duty, Sarah..."

 

'He is not yet ready to embark on such a journey again...it is too soon. You must let him go.'

 

"What? No."

 

Osiris again focused on Daniel noticing that the man was still struggling against him. He soothed and quieted his voice as he softly crooned, "Daniel, you must cease these attempts to resist your lord. You will grow tired and exhaust yourself. I will not leave you go until you can properly calm yourself. This behavior is unacceptable. You must relax and you must yield. I will not release you until you yield to me."

 

"NEVER! I'D RATHER DIE!"

 

"Daniel, I know that is not true. Please cease your struggles. I do not desire to harm you. I do not like keeping you pinned beneath me, for I know that I am hurting you. Please Daniel, you must stop. I do not wish to hurt you any longer."

 

"NO!"

 

He fought harder feeling his panic continue to build within the longer Osiris remained on top of him. All he wanted was for the system lord to get off of him. If Osiris would move then he could calm but as long as the serpent maintained such a painful hold and refused to get off of him he wouldn't be able to calm until his energy dissipated.

 

Osiris was certain that Daniel wouldn't relax so he continued to keep a firm hold on the man only becoming fearful when Daniel's breathing became shaky and he started having difficulty drawing oxygen into his lungs. Osiris spoke in a calm tone as he tried to calm Daniel before breathing became an impossible task for the man. He said, "Daniel, Daniel you must listen to me. You must calm yourself or you will not be able to breathe. You must relax. Daniel, I will not harm you and I will not attack you. I know that you fear I will assault you but I will not. You must calm down. Please Daniel, please calm down."

 

Daniel could feel his panic pushing him closer and closer to exhaustion. As his panic held him completely within its grasp he suddenly became aware of another problem. He couldn't breathe. Oh shit! He couldn't breathe! It hurt too much to breathe. He struggled to desperately pull air into his lungs but no matter how hard he tried he could feel himself gasping and gulping for air. Panic easily stole one's breath and showed no mercy when it did so. He clenched his eyes tightly shut immediately stilling against Osiris' painful hold struggling to regain control of his erratic breathing but his throat burned and throbbed making the effort so much harder than necessary. His fear of being raped became an all out fear of dying. He needed to breathe, oh God he needed to breathe! As he heard himself wheezing his fear only increased. What if he couldn't regain control of his breathing? God, he would soon pass out from oxygen deprivation. He needed to breathe. He could hear Osiris' voice drifting to him from so far away but no matter how he tried to focus on those words, focus on the command in those words he couldn't do it. He couldn't regain control and his mind flashed briefly to his lover. He was certain that he was about to die as his oxygen-starved lungs began to burn in response to the strain his panic had placed on his circulatory system.

 

Daniel started to feel light headed. His ears began their incessant ringing as his head felt as if it were stuffed with cotton. He tried to think but that seemed almost as impossible as breathing did at the moment. His throat ached fiercely and his lungs burned as if they were on fire. His chest felt as if it were gripped in a vice that was slowly squeezing the air out of him. God, he felt like he was having a damned allergy attack, a major allergy attack but there were no flowers to set his sinuses off. He cried out not certain if he spoke aloud or in his mind for help. He couldn't regain control, oh God, oh shit he couldn't breathe and he could feel the darkness starting to close in around him. He had to breathe; he had to! Again he cried out for help. He felt his grasp on the conscious world slipping before hearing a faint voice telling him to fight, telling him he was having a panic attack and not to give in to the panic that now gripped him so effectively in its clutches. The voice was calm warm, familiar...the voice belonged to Jack and as Jack's voice echoed to him as if in a dream telling him ordering him to survive to fight Daniel suddenly felt that vice release and inhaled deeply of the oxygenized air that he had been deprived of for so long. As he inhaled he started to cough violently as his lungs protested the sudden opening of his airways. He could feel dampness on his cheeks and was certain that tears of pain had leaked out of his eyes while he fought to breathe freely again.

 

Daniel could hear Jack's voice again speaking to him telling him to calm down and not inhale so rapidly and so deeply. He listened to that voice feeling his breathing beginning to ease and return to normal. As he succeeded in regaining a normal breathing pattern he could feel a pounding headache but pushed passed that headache long enough to whisper a quiet, "Thanks Jack," before exhaustion made him still.

 

Osiris swallowed hard as his fear started to slowly disappear as Daniel succeeded in regaining his breathing. He carefully released his hold on the man's wrists frowning when his eyes scanned across the deep red marks now marring Daniel's perfect, flawless skin...he would have nasty bruises there for certain. Osiris was not proud of those marks he had to inflict on his servant to gain control over him. Yes Daniel had clawed his face and kicked him, but he would never deliberately inflict such harm on his servant. He would never willingly strike Daniel for any reason. He was ashamed to see those marks that told of what he had to do to gain control over Daniel when his anger took hold. He shook his head sadly before pressing a hand to Daniel's face and quietly hushing him.

 

Daniel could feel the soft touch against his cheek and allowed him self to draw comfort from it. He kept his eyes closed as he continued to focus on breathing normally. He had come so close, so close. He hoped that he never became that panicked ever again. Jack had labeled the reaction a panic attack. What a proper name for an extremely scary response. He hoped never to have the privilege of experiencing that again. As he began to relax he listened to the voice of the one still atop him, "Daniel, are you all right? Please speak to me, my precious one. Please tell me if you are all right."

 

Daniel only nodded hearing a sigh of relief escape from between Osiris' lips. He still kept his eyes closed feeling the pounding headache starting to abate some. Thank God for small favors! He heard Osiris again speaking to him and listened finding that speaking at the moment just was not going to happen, "Daniel I am sorry that I am partially responsible for creating your panic. I did not mean to harm you or upset you. I was merely attempting to restrain you until you regained your control. I do not draw any great pleasure from having to harm you so. If I had known that you would panic I would have never attempted such a restraint."

 

Daniel merely nodded as he heard only about half of the words Osiris was speaking. He hurt everywhere. He felt as if he fought with a steer...and lost. He was certain part of the reason his body ached so much was due to having been deprived of oxygen and fighting so hard to regain his ability to breathe once again. All he wanted to do was curl up and sleep for about fifteen hours. He jumped as Osiris pressed a light kiss to his lips then to his cheek feeling his panic threatening to surface again.

 

Sarah noticed the sudden tenseness in Daniel's body upon the soft kiss and felt it necessary to warn Osiris to be careful. She interrupted, 'My Lord, please be careful with how you proceed. He is still recovering from his panic you do not want to be responsible for triggering another such attack within him.'

 

"What harm is there in a simple kiss, Sarah?"

 

'There is no harm unless you cannot stop there. He is not ready to make love with us again, My Lord. He needs some time...you must go slowly with Daniel, for he is a very sensitive person. If you push him too much you will risk losing him. These things cannot be rushed. You must proceed with caution. In time Daniel will respond to us willingly and instantly but for now you must slow down for him. This is all new to him and in sleeping with us he probably feels as if he is betraying Jack. Betrayal is a very painful thing for Daniel to deal with so please be careful, My Lord, please.'

 

Osiris nodded then proceeded to slowly trace Daniel's face with his finger hushing the man and telling him not to be afraid that all he wanted to do was touch him. Daniel was tense beneath him. Osiris could feel the straining in the young man's muscles and could see the stubborn set of his jaw. Daniel was fighting his panic. Osiris listened closely to the man's breathing for any indications that his servant was losing his control again. As he slowly traced the fine lines of Daniel's jaw and cheeks he noticed that the man remained still. His breathing didn't grow more haggard and his body didn't relax under him but he wasn't panicking. Osiris spoke softly, "In time you will allow me to make love to you whenever I desire it, my precious one. You will learn to trust my hands upon your body and my guidance in our lovemaking.  I do not wish your sexual trainings to place you in a mindset where you feel that you are just doing a duty. I want you to draw and derive as much pleasure from our mating as I. This will take practice on both our parts for I must learn your body as intimately as you will be required to learn mine. I want you to learn what can turn me on and arouse me. You will be educated in our bedchamber on just where to touch me and how to handle me so that you please me. I will study you to determine what it is that turns you on my precious. Sarah has given me some ideas of just where to stimulate you to excite you, my precious slave."

 

Osiris then proceeded to lean down by Daniel's left ear, slip his tongue out from between his lips and draw it slowly across the man's ear lobe. Despite his efforts not to respond to the stimulation Daniel found himself hissing and moaning in pleasure. As Osiris drew his earlobe into Sarah's warm, moist mouth Daniel found his body betraying him by thrusting against the one now stimulating him. He clenched his eyes shut as another moan of pleasure slipped from between his slightly parted lips as Osiris proceeded to nibble on the earlobe. Daniel could feel the chills of desire slithering up through his body urging his manhood to harden instantly. As a hand slid down to cup his groin intimately Daniel cried out thrusting his hips upwards and offering the Goa'uld lord more of his groin for stimulation.

 

Osiris smiled as he released the grip he held on Daniel's earlobe and whispered softly, "Hmm, that is it my precious one just let your self go. Give your self to me. Surrender to me. Draw your pleasure from your master, slave."

 

Daniel whimpered as the hand on his groin started to rub him. He could feel the hand moving back and forth across his exposed genitals creating friction and building heat in his sex organs that he couldn't ignore. Daniel thought of Jack and instantly stilled realizing what he was doing. He choked out, "No...no, please...no..."

 

Osiris didn't hear him he instead leaned down and dragged that delectable earlobe into his mouth where he began to nibble once more. Daniel shakily moaned as the heat in his groin only increased and pure pleasure started to pound through out his body as nerves were sensitized. He pushed passed the haze of pleasure that threatened to toss all good intentions out of the window, especially when the hand on his groin wrapped around his erection and started to slowly pump him. He groaned as he writhed and bucked beneath the onslaught but somehow managed to slip the word passed his lips again as his arousal continued to grow, "NO..."

 

Osiris still didn't hear his servant's spoken words and Daniel became desperate to be heard. He tried to suppress his moans of pleasure, desire and need as he struggled to make his refusal heard. Again he tried harder, "No...no please...please don't do this to me again...no please...please My Lord. It's too soon I...I can't...can't do this...no...please..."

 

Sarah heard his pleas and knew that she had to stop Osiris before he caused more damage within his servant. Daniel would respond willingly to them in time but now...now it was too soon. His betrayal of his lover was too new in his mind and all he would feel if this progressed to intercourse was that betrayal consuming him and killing him. She spoke loudly, 'My Lord, you must stop. You must not continue with the actions you are taking.'

 

"He is so strong and virile...see how he responds to us, Sarah..."

 

'My Lord are you listening to me? Are you listening to him? He can't do this. It's too soon. My Lord we have time but you must not push him, for if you do you risk losing him and his soul. You must move slowly. Please listen to his words. He is not ready.'

 

"Sarah you worry too much..."

 

'NO My Lord...are you listening to him? You can't do this or you will destroy him. It's too soon...the betrayal he feels towards his lover is too fresh in his mind. If you make love to him this evening you may risk damning his very soul. My Lord you must listen to your servant as well. It is his duty to listen to you, to do as you command of him but it is also your duty to listen to him and to make certain that you are not placing him in danger of any sort...'

 

"Sarah..."

 

'PLEASE LISTEN TO HIM!'

 

Osiris released his hold on Daniel's earlobe and listened to Daniel hearing the man's moans of pleasure and feeling him thrust upwards as his body begged to be satisfied but moans weren't the only thing to escape the man's luscious lips for there were words. Words he had to listen to or he would risk his servant's ultimate destruction. He swallowed hard as his servant continued to speak in a husky voice, "No...please...no My Lord. Don't do this to me...no...I can't...can't... I'll betray Jack...no...don't make me do this...no...please, not...too soon...please..."

 

As Osiris focused on Daniel's handsome face he was certain that Daniel Jackson wasn't even aware that he was voicing his pleas aloud. He decided it would be best not to draw attention to that fact and allow Daniel to feel that he wasn't outwardly begging and pleading for his master to stop pleasing him. Daniel would feel great shame in knowing that he had verbalized his pleas. He didn't like to show weaknesses of any kind as Sarah helped him to learn.

 

Osiris watched the man as he gently eased his hand off of Daniel's genitals and raised it to Daniel's face. He gently cupped Daniel's face between his hands softly crooning, "Daniel, sleep...go to sleep, my precious one. You must be tired. Sleep for me, sleep for your lord, Daniel."

 

Daniel opened his eyes looking at the Goa'uld lord in confusion. He was thoroughly aroused and knew deep down in his heart that he didn't want to give himself to Osiris again. He knew that he would have no choice in the matter for the serpent lord would destroy another planet upon his refusal but he also knew that he couldn't do this. Not now...feelings of his betrayal of his lover were too fresh in his mind and he just couldn't handle betraying the man again so soon. He was confused as to why Osiris was now urging him to sleep. His brow creased in confusion as he tried to concentrate on Osiris and the words the Goa'uld lord was speaking to him. He watched as Osiris leaned forward to press the lightest of kisses to his forehead before lowering to his left side and tugging him against his own body. Daniel continued to focus on Osiris not sure of what he was doing and too confused to realize that Osiris had ceased pleasuring him. He managed a whispered, "My Lord..."

 

Before Osiris was hushing him and urging him to sleep once more. Daniel watched Osiris realizing that he had ceased to touch him other than to hold him closely. He couldn't comprehend why Osiris would stop instead of demanding his services again. He stared at Osiris for the longest time wanting to speak with him but uncertain as to what to say. It wasn't long before his eyelids grew heavy and sleep draped over him like a silky veil cocooning him in its warm, comforting embrace.

 

Osiris smiled as he watched Daniel attempting to resist his body's need for rest. He noticed the instant that Daniel's eyelids began to droop and tried to hold still so as not to disturb his servant's journey into rest. As Daniel's soft dainty eyelashes settled to caress his upper cheeks Osiris' smile broadened further for shortly after those beautiful eyes closed Daniel's breathing smoothed out and sleep gripped him in its tender hold. He lay there for several long minutes admiring the man as he slept so peacefully beside him. Daniel was beautiful in rest as well as when awake. His features were smooth and he was calmer now, more relaxed. In sleep Daniel was always more relaxed than when awake. He reached out to gently brush several wayward stands of golden hair off of Daniel's brow smiling as the man quietly moaned, shifted slightly then settled on the mattress yet again. Osiris spoke much softer than previously, "Sleep, my precious Daniel. Tomorrow we shall talk but tonight, tonight you shall dream, dream for me, my love...dream."

 

Osiris soon found that he could no longer resist his need for rest either and as he drifted asleep he heard Sarah's voice thanking him then telling him goodnight. He smiled as he drifted away to join his servant in the land of dreams.

 

Sarah remained awake several more minutes gently running a hand back through Daniel's soft lengthy hair as she whispered, "I won't allow him to destroy you, Daniel. You must surrender yourself to our lord but I will make certain that he does not push you beyond your limits by making love to you too soon. I will make sure that he knows when he must give you time and when he must take his time with you. I won't let his intense desire for you make him push you further than he intends. I promise you, love. I promise." She then pressed a tender kiss to Daniel's temple and curled up beside him before sleep also laid claim to her.

 

                                                                                                    * * * * * * * *

Two Nights Later...

 

Daniel prepared to enter the bedchamber feeling nervous and anxious knowing that Osiris would soon demand he perform for him again. He prayed that Osiris would be tired of him but knew otherwise. Osiris hadn't touched him in two days other than to run his fingers through his hair, cup his face in his hands or brush his lips lightly across his own. He knew, he could see, that Osiris wanted him and knew that it wouldn't be long before he would again demand his servant pleasure him in the bedroom.

 

He closed his eyes trying to calm himself before slipping quietly into the room. For the past two nights he has been bathing later and entering the room long after his lord should be asleep. He was lucky so far and hopefully tonight that luck would continue to hold out, but as he entered their bedchamber he felt his hope plummeting and his fear and dread build because there standing before him was Osiris and his lord's desire for him was very obvious. Oh God no. He stopped prepared to flee the room when Osiris' gravely voice called to him softly commanding, "Come Daniel."

 

He knew he had no choice but to do as commanded so he slowly approached Osiris feeling every nerve rise on end and his heart begin its desperate slamming in his chest as his uneasiness only increased. He paused before Osiris bowing and down casting his eyes in a proper show of respect before softly inquiring, "Yes My Lord?"

 

"I wish for you to serve me this night, my precious one."

 

Daniel swallowed hard as he felt apprehension seize him. He glanced nervously up at the Goa'uld lord quickly down casting his eyes when Osiris made direct eye contact. He knew that the request would soon be made and he knew that he had no other choice but to serve so he forced the words passed his lips wrapping his arms around his chest in a self-protective gesture as he inquired, "How may I serve you, My Lord?"

 

Osiris smiled as he gently cupped Daniel's face between his hands answering, "Ah yes, that is what I wish to hear you say to me without hesitation, without shame and without reserve. You are my personal attendant, Daniel. You are my favored, therefore, you should not feel shame or guilt when doing as your lord requests or asking how you may best serve me."

 

Daniel refused to lift his gaze above the floor gripping his arms tighter around himself as he tried valiantly to shove his extreme fear and overpowering anxiety deep down inside. He prepared to speak choosing instead to nervously suck in his bottom lip and nod his head slightly to show he understood.

 

Osiris shook his head noticing that his servant was extremely anxious and shy. He would have to move slowly with this one for if he moved too quickly there was no telling how his favored would react. He reached up wrapping his hand firmly around Daniel's upper right arm and gently tugged him saying, "Come let us sit on the bed and relax. Come. Sit beside me, my precious Daniel."

 

Daniel forced himself to comply feeling as if he were sealing his fate as he placed one foot in front of the other heading in the direction of the bed. He still couldn't bring himself to look at his lord or at the bed he was being led to. He knew what Osiris expected from him but wasn't sure if he'd even be able to do as expected. As Osiris urged him to sit on the bed he closed his eyes tightly shut and drew in a shaky breath working on calming his nerves and forcing his limbs to comply with Osiris' demands. As he slowly sunk onto the mattress he remembered about Alandria being destroyed before him only a few short days ago and knew that despite how he truly felt about this whole sexual submission he would have to try to perform adequately for the phoenix lord.

 

Osiris watched his servant as the man sat down beside him. He smiled warmly as he softly urged, "Now I wish for you to lie on your back. Come do as you have been commanded. Lie down on your back and stretch yourself out across the mattress."

 

He wanted to say no. He wanted to outright refuse to comply with that demand but knew that the risks were just too high. He had to do as he was being ordered or he would have to watch another world...God no. He couldn't handle that again. Offering his body to the Goa'uld lord for his pleasure was a very small sacrifice to make if it meant saving the lives of thousands of others who were like those innocent inhabitants of Alandria. He could do this. He would do this. He had to do this. He nodded his head slightly before shifting to the center of the bed. He slowly lay down closing his eyes as his head pressed into the soft mound of pillows at the top end of the bed. Presently he was still wearing his robe but he knew that Osiris would make short work of relieving him of the only garment that blocked his nakedness from his lord.

 

Osiris continued to watch Daniel as he slowly complied with his demands. He waited until Daniel was reclined on the bed in a comfortable position before shifting onto the bed. He slowly straddled Daniel's body positioning himself on his knees above the man. After he settled himself where he desired he focused on Daniel once again. He leaned forward placing his right hand against Daniel's left cheek as he softly spoke, "Relax, my precious one. I would like you to draw as much pleasure from our coupling as I will. You must calm yourself and relax. You will service me this night. I will not accept no for an answer. I have waited much too long to have you in my bed as more than just a companion. I wish to join with you, Daniel Jackson. I wish to know you as intimately as Sarah does. I want to feel our joining and become lost in the union. I want to draw great pleasure from you and to offer you pleasure in return. I want to learn all of your secrets, Daniel. I want to know everything about you."

 

Daniel swallowed hard feeling his panic and anxiousness start anew. He knew what was expected of him yet he still hesitated. He quickly realized that if he didn't somehow separate himself from this situation that he just might scream and panic. He drew in a deep calming breath as he forced himself to focus his attention elsewhere. He opened his mind to the other sensations his nerve endings were being treated to. He could feel the soft, firm mattress beneath his back and the fluffy pillows that held his head elevated off of the mattress. He could feel the silky fabric of his robe where it lay against his skin concealing his nakedness beneath a paper-thin shield. As he focused more inwardly his attention was placed on the heaviness of Sarah perched above him. She wasn't excessively heavy but he knew, could tell, that she was there. He opened his eyes as a dainty hand pressed against his left cheek gasping as he noticed that Osiris was now leaning forward, draping his nearly naked body across him and casting a hunger-laden gaze his way. As Osiris carefully dragged his fingernails down over his body to settle on his chest Daniel could hear his heart pounding in his ears. He gasped again as Osiris began to slowly ease the robe he wore open while softly continuing, "Relax and allow me to look at you, my precious one."

 

Daniel couldn't move or speak as Osiris continued to push the robe off of his body revealing his physique inch by pain staking inch. This was pure hell lying here and trying to remain perfectly still as your captor took his time stripping you naked in preparation for using your body for his pleasure. God he hated this. He closed his eyes as Osiris pushed his robe off further and again leaned forward pressing a gentle kiss to his lips. He inhaled shakily, stiffening upon feeling those familiar lips pressing against his own. Instantly heat sparked within him beginning to smolder and build for at one time he had found this woman beautiful and very desirable. At one time he had enjoyed making love to this beautiful woman immensely but that was a long time ago...that was before she became possessed by an evil creature whose only goal, only interest in him, was to control him completely.

 

He cursed his body as it instantly began to respond to her. He could feel blood rushing to his midsection encouraging his organ to swell to an unbelievable size. He shifted as he became aware that he was now hard and the head of his erection was pressing against her inner thigh. Surely she knew that he was excited. How could she not feel his hard shaft poking into her thigh unashamedly? He blushed maddeningly when Osiris cast him a knowing glance. Again those hands worked on slipping the robe off of him and exposing him fully to the air. He had to force himself to remain still as Osiris continued to strip him naked. He felt an incredible urge swarm through him to shove the Goa'uld lord off of him but knew to do so would anger his captor immensely so he settled for balling his hands into fists forcing himself to remain complacent.

 

Osiris smirked as he felt Daniel's responses to his kiss. The man was indeed disturbed by his lord. Perhaps making love to this man would prove much easier than he had first assumed. Perhaps he could raise the ante a bit. He shook his head as Sarah's voice echoed through his mind, 'No, you can't rush this with him, My Lord. Remember how he reacted to you before. You must move slowly.'

 

'Look at him, little one, is he not the most beautiful creature you have ever before laid eyes upon?'

 

Sarah could do nothing but answer the question truthfully, 'Yes he is.'

 

'He's ours, little one, and tonight he will become ours forever.'

 

'My Lord...'

 

Osiris was no longer listening to her as he cast a predatory gaze across Daniel's beautiful nakedness. Yes the man was very handsome, indeed. He would draw much pleasure from taming this wild creature. He smiled in satisfaction when Daniel lay naked before him. He leaned forward again pressing his lips to Daniel's supple ones. He moaned as he could taste Daniel's essence on his lips but he could tell, could sense, that Daniel was not surrendering his passion as he should be. He broke the kiss as he whispered in Daniel's right ear, "You are not yet passionate enough, my precious."

 

Daniel gasped and turned his head away from Osiris clenching his eyes shut as those words filled his mind and he recalled the threat...if he could not surrender his passion and desire a planet would be destroyed. He had to surrender or Osiris would make good on that promise. He just couldn't seem to drum up that unbidden passion deep within himself. He was hard and he could feel heat spiraling in his belly but that was all, for every time he closed his eyes he saw only one man and felt his betrayal of that one man go so deep that it nearly destroyed him. Jack...Jack...by surrendering to Osiris he would be openly betraying Jack yet again. Could he do that and live with himself afterwards? Which was worse losing Jack after willingly betraying him or losing an entire planet of beings because he refused to yield? Oh God, he was in a Catch 22 and he hated being pinned. He could feel Osiris' warm breath bathing his ear, feel those hands gently rubbing across his chest, feel that body perched above him and hear the excitement that his captor was drawing from being this close to him. He could also feel a soft breeze blowing gently across his nakedness reminding him of just how vulnerable he now was, reminding him that Osiris was demanding payment for staving his trigger finger. How could he surrender himself to this being and live with the experience afterwards? Oh God, could he do that? Could he live with this choice if he were to make it? He was trapped. He had no alternative; God he needed to escape. He needed to get away but he couldn't move. He had to do this or he would be forced to watch the destruction of another planet and like Alandria the pain of knowing he was responsible for that ultimate destruction would make him crumble and die inside. Shit he had to do this for he knew that he couldn't live with another planet's destruction on his mind, haunting his dreams and destroying what remained of his fragile soul.

 

Sarah noticed Daniel's instant withdrawal and knew that she had to bring it to Osiris' attention. He was already considering taking Daniel right now without hesitation and she knew that if he were to jump into this without giving Daniel the time to adjust and to accept what was being done to him, what was being demanded of him Osiris would unwittingly destroy the one man he loved above all others. She drew Osiris' attention as she said, 'My Lord, you must slow down. You are trying to rush Daniel too much. He is very sensitive and is probably focusing on his betrayal and not wanting to commit. He has a strong sense of honor and of loyalty. He cannot handle being betrayed and to know that he is willingly betraying another has the potential to destroy him. You must not force him into obedience. You must take your time with him and be patient. Allow me to take over momentarily, My Lord.'

 

Osiris could see the withdrawal occurring in his favored and sighed sadly as he yielded to Sarah. He said, 'I want to please him and have him please me in return. I know that he is passionate yet he keeps his passion locked up.'

 

Sarah smiled as she continued, 'Pay attention to what I am about to show you, My Lord. He is a flesh and blood man whose body willingly responds to our touch. His body wants us and needs us, his body even now begs for us to stroke it and pleasure it. It is his mind that refuses to yield to us...his mind and his spirit. He knows that he must perform for us or another planet will fall to ruin. He is waging a war inside realizing that he has no other alternative but to offer himself freely to us. What we must do is encourage him to take that little step. We must fuel his desire and need. We must make him hunger for us and ache for us.'

 

'And how do we accomplish such a task when he is obviously unwilling to surrender?'

 

'Daniel and I were lovers for a long time. You know this. We took the time to learn each other and study each other. I know what can turn this man on. I know where his erogenous zones are and I know how to push him beyond his endurance. I know how to push him to the point where he will beg to be satiated and to be brought to fulfillment. You must learn his body as well as you want him to learn ours. With Daniel you must think of seduction first and foremost...'

 

'Seduction?'

 

'Yes. Daniel likes to take things slowly. He is a very considerate lover. He is very focused and very eager to please. He wants his partner to draw as much pleasure from lovemaking as he, him self is drawing. He is tender, patient, slow...he takes his time...to rush him is to miss the best part of him for he can fulfill one so completely that you get lost in him. He studies his partner and learns everything there is to know about their body. In Daniel's arms I used to feel like a priceless treasure for he always was so sensual and so intense. He has many secrets that I have learned. For him excitement begins with the first touch of skin against skin. He loves the feel of his lover's warm, silky skin burning into his own. He is a very passionate one but you must first now how to bring him alive to reap the rewards he has to offer.'

 

'I should like to learn these secrets very much, little one.'

 

'Relax and allow me to show you what I know.'

 

Osiris nodded as he prepared to watch Sarah very closely to learn how to excite his favored and draw that hidden pleasure out from deep within him.

 

Daniel kept his eyes clenched tightly shut trying to block out the feel of Osiris against him. He had to surrender. He had no choice but even knowing he had to serve helped little to get him to respond. He just couldn't open himself up to the Goa'uld lord. He couldn't force that passion to the forefront. He couldn't allow himself to feel anything at the moment. All he wanted to do was shove the snake off of him, curl up and scream. He wanted to scream aloud as he now was inside his mind. Screaming to get out, screaming to get away, screaming for mercy and screaming for his lover's forgiveness. He gasped as those hands moved towards his nipples. He could feel Osiris moving above him and wondered what was happening. As Osiris lowered onto him pressing Sarah's creamy, soft breasts against his chest he could feel his breath hitch in his throat. He groaned as Sarah's warm breasts rubbed softly across his chest sending every nerve on end as her flesh pressed so intimately against his own. Oh God, oh God he was starting to lose it. He groaned as she leaned down by his left ear and gently blew into it. He could feel the goose bumps rising across his skin as that simple act increased his heart rate just a tad. As her warm, moist tongue pressed into his ear he moaned louder automatically thrusting his hips up against her sweet mound and gasping as he could feel the thatch of curls that were nestled so perfectly between her thighs. Aw shit, he was losing it. Her simple actions successfully triggered a response in him and he could feel his hunger and his need for her begin to arise. Sarah was probably now in charge for she knew, oh how she knew, what could get him so hot and so horny. She knew how to make him scream and how to make him respond. She knew him intimately for she’d had plenty of time to study his responses and learn his body so completely. He quickly realized that the knowledge of Sarah most likely now being in control effectively triggered his desire and his need for her.

 

Sarah smiled as she began to feel Daniel's instant responses to her. She spoke to Osiris, 'See how he is now becoming alive? He will soon plead for us to service him and he will beg to service us. You must always remember to move slowly with him, especially in the beginning. He will openly accept aggressive sex but first, first you must train him. You must view your sexual relations with him as training in the beginning. He needs to be taught how to please us and how to satisfy us. He already knows how to excite me and how to satisfy me but you must teach him how to also satisfy you for I am no longer alone in this body and things that turn me on, that excite me may not necessarily excite you. Daniel knows what he must do to please me but he has no knowledge of how he must please his lord. You must train him and show him what he must do to give you pleasure and satisfy you.'

 

'I understand what you are saying, little one. Show me how you please him.'

 

Sarah smiled broader as she continued, 'He has many erogenous zones. There are many places on his body that can quickly stir him up. He derives much pleasure from one suckling his earlobes. You heard how he responded to me when I blew in his ear. If you suckle his lobe you will trigger a strong response within him. Other erogenous zones on him consist of his neck...he loves to have his neck nipped and licked. He loves the feel of fingers as they run through his hair from the back of his neck up over. He will shudder when you do this for it sends pleasurable chills up across his spine. Of course every man is very sensitive around his cock and balls. Just a gentle stroke is bound to draw a moan of joy from between his luscious lips...another guaranteed hot spot is his nipples...’

 

'Guaranteed hot spot?'

 

'Yes...'

 

'You have most interesting metaphors in your language Sarah.'

 

'In time you will learn just what excites him. You must remember that you are educating him at the same time that he is educating you. You must listen closely to how he responds. Watch his responses and his reactions to the things you do. Study him as you would study your war plans. He will reveal to you what he desires and what he does not. You can learn much from Daniel if you learn to read his body language for he is most expressive with it. He will not verbally tell you what he wants, what he needs or what he desires you must learn to read his needs in his actions and in his reactions. He is secretive by nature but one can learn much about him simply by studying him...in bed and out of bed. You must remember this for it will always be as such.'

 

'I understand.'

 

'You must also learn to praise him often, especially while he services you in the bedroom. He needs to be assured that he is pleasing you. He needs to know that he is performing to your standards for if he has no knowledge of how well he is doing he will always be hindered by his fear that you will destroy a planet because you are not satisfied so you must learn to praise him often and to assure him with words, strokes, looks and gestures that you are happy with his performance. You also must never threaten him with the destruction of a planet when in the bedchamber for you could force him to become so focused on what might happen that he will not be able to perform adequately for you. Daniel's mind is always active. He never stops thinking. His mind will present him with a situation and with a million ways that situation can go wrong or right. His mind never stops processing. He processes everything and he thinks through everything. He has a brilliant mind that never rests. Because of this he can sometimes become very easily distracted so you must learn to accept this about him and learn how to maintain his complete attention at times you wish to have it. Don't expect him to give you all of his attention for his mind is much, much too active for him to remain focused always.'

 

'You know much of Daniel. I should like to learn all that you know about him.'

 

'You have access to that knowledge already, My Lord. I want you to learn about him for it is so easy to harm him, so easy to hurt him. He has a vulnerability that many don't see. They don't see it because he is so good at concealing it. He is a very special person who is very complex. However, you must remember that it has been five or six years since I...since we were so close. He disappeared and produced no papers, no research...he was virtually out of action for six years. He has changed through those years so some of my knowledge will not be accurate. I don't know what has shaped him in those passed few years. I don't know how much he has changed. I can see changes in him, My Lord, changes that weren't there six years ago but I know I don't see them all. I only see those few he wants me to see.'

 

'I understand...please continue to show me how to please him.'

 

Sarah again placed all her attention on the man lying beneath her. She leaned up and pressed her lips to his drawing another moan from him as she did so and this time, unlike the last two times Daniel responded to her kiss. She smiled as she sent Osiris another comment, 'Watch and learn, My Lord.'

 

She then broke off the kiss slowly pressing butterfly light kisses from the corner of Daniel's mouth back towards his ear. Once near his ear she again blew across it and leaned forward drawing his earlobe into her mouth. Daniel hissed as that warm, moist mouth clamped over his earlobe and started to suckle. He could feel Sarah's hands continuing to roam over his chest slowly as if she were trying to memorize his body all over again. As she released her hold on his ear she lowered to nuzzle her head against his neck. As she pressed a gentle kiss to the side of his neck before gently nipping him Daniel moaned and bucked thrusting his hips up against her womanhood begging and pleading for her to continue to please him. He instantly wrapped his arms around her body pulling her tighter against him wanting her to please him desperately. Sarah smiled as she felt those arms wrap around her and knew that she now had Daniel's undivided attention. She shifted her weight so that her womanly center pressed firmly against his manhood. Daniel moaned as he shifted spreading his legs slightly to give her access. She focused on his face looking deeply into his vivid blue eyes searching for the man she knew lay hidden inside himself and saw a spark of desire tinge his eyes making them stormy. She then slowly eased herself down onto his shaft moaning as he thrust his hips upwards providing her with easier entry. When she became fully impaled on his hard cock Daniel tossed his head back into the mound of pillows moaning from deep within. He tightened his hold on her body as she leaned down to again gently nuzzle his neck. She smiled preparing to ride him to the heights of ecstasy and beyond.

 

Daniel cursed himself as he willingly gave himself over to the woman who now ruled him. Another possessed her but presently she was in control. She was forcing him to comply with Osiris' will. She was using her prior knowledge of their time together against him to draw forth that desire, that hunger and that yearning that he tried desperately to deny. He never hated her more than he did right now. He hated her yet he needed her, ached for her, longed for her. He despised her for using his body's natural responses against him to make him respond openly to his lord. He despised her but even as those feelings filled him he found himself thrusting upwards encouraging her to ride him to fulfillment as his treacherous body begged for her. As she again nuzzled his neck he felt his stomach muscles clench in response and felt the need deep within to beg for her pleasure. He would be damned if he would beg for her to satisfy him. He knew that was what she wanted but he would rather die than surrender to her completely. He groaned as she squeezed his thighs gently between her own while moving her pelvis back and forth. He arched into her, thrusting upwards, panting with need as her vulva rubbed against his pubic bone arousing him to no end. He knew that he was lost when she started that little teasing of hers and he couldn't stop himself as he slid his hands down to her ass cheeks cupping them firmly in his hands and gripping her to him.

 

As Sarah began her slow thrusting she could feel her own desire increase, especially when Daniel started meeting her thrusts. She focused on his handsome face noticing his eyes were closed and his breathing had since increased. He was extremely aroused and she knew that he was now surrendering his body to her. She slowly increased her thrusting pace leaning down over him to tug one of those precious nipples into her warm mouth. His response was instantaneous as he growled in pleasure and longing as she started to lave her tongue teasingly back and forth across that beautiful nub making his nipple pucker under her ministrations. When his left nipple was successfully taut she turned her focus to his right nipple drawing it into her mouth and suckling it to hardness. She then resorted to blowing her warm breath across each of those nipples drawing a half choked growl and scream from the man she was tormenting. She grinned evilly as she slowed her movements down considerably then turned to tightly contracting her vaginal muscles together around his hard cock. Daniel lost it as he screamed out in immense pleasure and whimpered as she continued to move ever so slowly above him and gripped his penis within her. She too screamed in pleasure as she not only stimulated him further but herself as well.

 

Daniel tried to gain control of his flailing emotions aware that he was fast approaching the precipice of climax and not wanting to surrender that part of himself up to the Goa'uld lord but as Sarah focused on arousing him further he could no longer fight and felt his body begin the gradual climb to a powerful orgasm. He slid his hands up over her back tugging her against him as he reached up to capture her lips in his own. As she started to increase her thrusting pace again Daniel surrendered to desire. He started to run his hands up and down across her back teasing her lips and prodding at them, gently urging them to part and allow him entrance. She eventually yielded allowing Daniel's tongue in where they fenced with one another for a time. He started gasping as he could feel the stirrings within himself and could feel her vaginal muscles beginning to contract. She was so close to orgasm. He remembered how this felt. How it had felt to make love to this woman so many years ago and he surrendered to a past that has been long since forgotten. He broke the kiss clutching her desperately to him as he increased his own thrusting pace shoving his engorged dick up into her tight vaginal canal urging her, encouraging her to come for him.

 

Sarah clung to Daniel sensing that he was so close to fulfillment and not wanting to miss this moment. Daniel was incredibly beautiful when he climaxed so she made sure to keep her eyes opened and focused intently on his face. As he bucked against her, holding her so tight against him she could feel the explosion beginning to surge through him and watched as Daniel screamed loudly as he erupted pouring his seed deep within her body as he reached his apex. She could feel her own orgasm approaching and arriving only mere moments after Daniel's and screamed herself as she climaxed coating his penis liberally with her warm, thick juices.

 

She collapsed into his arms pressing her head against his chest listening to the sound of his erratic heartbeat and heavy breathing. She had forgotten just how damned good Daniel Jackson was in bed. She clung to him waiting until she caught her breath before planting little kisses all across his chest. When he finally calmed she focused on his handsome face and softly whispered, "Thank you, Daniel."

 

Daniel couldn't speak for he was too out of breath. He blocked out all his feelings of betrayal not wanting to deal with those emotions just yet fearing that he would break down into tears before the Goa'uld lord. Their lovemaking was beautiful but...but she, he, it wasn't Jack O'Neill and Jack O'Neill was the one man in all the world, in all the universe who held his heart and his love so he listened to his heavy breathing and that of Sarah's. He became aware that her head was now nestled in the center of his chest and her soft blond hair was tickling his nipples where it lay draped across him like a curtain. Though he wanted to deny it he could feel a stirring for the woman begin anew.

 

Daniel settled allowing himself to drift off to sleep in the Goa'uld lord's arms pushing all thoughts of what he had done to the back of his mind. He couldn't yet deal with the painful emotions he knew would surface as a result of what transpired this evening.

 

Osiris could sense his host drifting asleep and smiled warmly as he said, 'Thank you Sarah, for showing me how to please him.'

 

'Hmm...you're welcome, M'Lord.'

 

'Rest little one rest. You have had a most exhausting evening.'

 

She chuckled softly before surrendering to a calming sleep. When Osiris was certain that Sarah was indeed asleep he turned his focus towards his favored noting that he too was now asleep and that they were both still interlocked in a very intimate embrace. Daniel was still buried deep within his host and he still clung to her as he had during their lovemaking. Osiris smiled enjoying the pleasure of feeling the man buried so completely within him and holding him so close against him. He hoped that someday, someday, Daniel would feel comfortable enough with him to hold him like he now was holding Sarah. He reached up to gently stroke Daniel's jaw as he whispered, "Yes someday you will come to me as you have to Sarah and I will truly know how it feels to be one with you.  I am a patient man Daniel Jackson I have forever to become familiar with you, my precious one. In time, in time, you will learn to love me as I now love you...it will all come in time. You will see, my precious one. You will see. Good night, my sweet Daniel..."

 

He then settled his head against Daniel's chest and was rapidly lolled to sleep by the rhythmic beating of Daniel's heart.

 

                                                                                                              * * * *

He jerked awake a scream on the tip of his tongue. He could feel his body breaking out into a cold sweat, hear his heart hammering in his ears mixing with the sound of his heavy breathing. Oh God, oh God it was real, too real. Even now no matter how hard he tried he couldn't block them out. He couldn't silence the screams of thousands of innocent voices crying out against the injustice done to them. He couldn't quiet the sounds of crying and pleading. He couldn't stop seeing the scorn and anger on the faces of those innocent people, thousands of innocent people calling out demanding retribution for their deaths, demanding vengeance. It was his fault, his fault and no others. If he had only done as Osiris demanded then Alandria would have been spared. If he had known what the system lord had intended he would have found a way to warn the goddess Athena to spare thousands of people from losing their lives so ruthlessly.

 

He still couldn't understand, couldn't comprehend why Osiris had agreed, had even spent time to bother with forging an alliance if his sole intent was to destroy Athena's world anyway. Why had he agreed to an alliance only to turn and savagely destroy her and her followers? Why?

 

He shook his head feeling sadness threatening to swallow him whole for such a great loss, such a tragic event. Osiris destroyed that planet and didn't even care. All he cared about was that his servant would now come to his bed for more than just rest. All he was concerned about was receiving sexual gratification from his slave. He shuddered as chills flooded him. All those people, all those innocent people killed, destroyed just because Osiris wanted to bed his slave. Why? Why did they have to die so tragically? Why did they have to die at all?

 

As his mind provided the answer to that unspoken question Daniel felt even colder: why? Because he knew that in destroying that planet he would attain his servant's complete surrender. He knew that to destroy a planet then threaten to destroy another if there was a failure to comply his servant would willingly serve him in any way he demanded, sexual or otherwise. He knew his servant's greatest weakness and like he had told Zeenan Osiris had found a way to play on that weakness and use it to his own advantage.

 

He tensed nearly bolting from the bed when a hand suddenly pressed to the side of his face. He closed his eyes refusing to look at the one touching him and swallowing hard as Osiris questioned, "Are you all right my precious one?"

 

He could only nod prompting Osiris to continue, "What is wrong Daniel? What has disrupted your sleep so much? What has you so upset and so anxious?"

 

"No...nothing."

 

“You were dreaming. What was your dream about?"

 

"Nothing, My Lord, nothing. Go back to sleep. You must be tired."

 

"Daniel you were pleading in your sleep. You were asking for forgiveness. Tell me what has made you feel that you must beg to be forgiven?"

 

"Nothing, My Lord, nothing."

 

Osiris sighed heavily feeling the refusal to speak to him hurt more than he expected. Daniel still would not confide in him. Daniel was still refusing to speak with him about issues that were causing him great pain. If he would just open up, just speak about what was troubling him then maybe he could help ease his servant's mind but still Daniel remained distant refusing to reveal more than was absolutely necessary to his lord. He could understand Daniel's need to keep things to himself. Even Sarah had warned him that Daniel was a very private person and would probably reveal little to him but still he had hoped for Daniel to reveal something. He didn't know how to help his servant all he knew was that Daniel was hurting and that Daniel was refusing to allow him the chance to help ease his discomfort if even a little.

 

Sarah sensing Osiris' sudden frustration and sadness quickly tried to provide the explanation he was so desperately seeking, 'He has shut you out. He will not speak to you of what has upset him.'

 

'Do you know what he dreamed of?'

 

'Hmm if I were to guess I would say Alandria.'

 

'Alandria? Why?'

 

'Because you have made him responsible for the destruction of that world and the people of that world... You told him that he was to blame for that world's destruction and now he believes that he is guilty. Daniel respects life and would do anything to help others. You in your attempts to gain his complete cooperation have permanently damaged his soul.'

 

'Permanently? No.'

 

'My Lord I did warn you that this would happen if you dared to use his compassion against him as a weapon.'

 

'I did no such thing...'

 

'Why do you lie to yourself when you know that you did just that? You wanted him in your bed, to serve you sexually and so you used his compassion against him. You wielded it like a weapon not thinking of the repercussions of such an action. Daniel is a very special person. He feels everything. He is also very good at accepting the blame for things that are not his fault. He has always been like that, My Lord. He is a master at causing himself great guilt.'

 

'So is there anything that I can do to...to help him with this?'

 

'That I do not know for as I have said before Daniel is very complex. He is also very private. He will keep his feelings and emotions locked so deep within for he is afraid to open up to anyone.'

 

'Why?'

 

'Because he fears that once they see inside of him they will have power over him and they will use it against him just as you have done.'

 

Osiris became very upset realizing that he might have done more harm than good when using Alandria against his slave to gain his compliance. He knew that it was wrong to use Daniel's compassion against him but he also knew that if he hadn't then Daniel would have never come willingly to him. He should apologize for what he had done but he didn't want to lose the fiery, passionate man he opened up when he required that Daniel serve him sexually.

 

                                                                                                    * * * * * * * *

Doctor Janet Fraiser glanced up as Colonel O'Neill entered her office. They had some issues that needed to be discussed and she preferred to do so in the privacy of her own office. When he entered she watched him noticing that he looked all right on the outside but on the inside, on the inside... She was looking at a man who was fast becoming lost in the endless abyss of despair, frustration, anger and depression. She knew just who put those feelings in this man's eyes though it would kill him to realize how much his absence was destroying the love of his life. If Daniel were to be here now and were to see Jack now...it would kill him. Something had to be done about the Colonel's less than positive attitude as of late and that is why she was having this meeting with him now. She wanted to speak to him before going to the General with her many concerns regarding one Colonel Jack O'Neill. As he entered her office he didn't smile or even greet her all he did was merely inform her, "The General said that you...wanted to see me." Okay this was definitely not good! She had to do something about this now and speaking to him just might help bring the real Jack O'Neill back to the surface so she answered, "Yes I did."

 

"Wh...why?"

 

"How are you eating, Colonel?"

 

Jack glanced at her in confusion caught off guard by her question, "How...how am I eating? What the hell..."

 

"Please answer the question."

 

"Janet what the hell is this about?"

 

She watched him knowing that he would be angry when she revealed the true reason she was now meeting with him. She hesitated choosing to question, "How have you been sleeping since...?"

 

"Since? What are you...? Daniel, you're asking me because of Daniel...son of a bitch."

 

She held his gaze for several long moments before quieting her voice and replying, "Yes because of Daniel... Jack I need to keep an eye on you."

 

"Janet I'm fine."

 

"Are you? Jack your lover was abducted. We have had no leads on his location and have heard nothing about him or his whereabouts. How can you sit there and tell me everything's fine?"

 

"Because it is."

 

"Really? That's not what I've been hearing."

 

"What? And just what have you been hearing Jan?"

 

He was annoyed. She could see that and even hear it in his voice but she didn't care because she had to discuss this very issue with him before it became a major problem so she continued, "Jack, I can tell that you haven't been sleeping and your last physical showed that you lost weight. You didn't maintain and you didn't gain. You LOST weight, Jack... Sam says..."

 

Jack glared at her in frustration before snapping, "Sam? Is she why I'm here? What has Carter been saying...?"

 

"Colonel there's no reason for you to get angry. She's worried about you and so is Teal'c..."

 

"Well they don't have to worry because I'm FINE!"

 

Janet continued to watch Jack intently refusing to back down. They needed to have this discussion because if he didn't soon start showing some improvement she'd have to go to the General. She sighed before continuing, "Look I don't like to have these discussions but it is part of my job and I have to make you aware that if you don't start showing improvement..."

 

"WHAT?" he demanded. If he didn't start showing some improvement...what the hell was she talking about? He tensed as he assured her, "I'm fine, Doc. No need to worry. I'm fine, damn it!"

 

"Jack this is very serious. You know what can happen when someone is lacking needed rest. You know what can happen when you don't eat. You know what can happen. You could become a risk to your team. Jack you are very good at concealing weaknesses at work. You are very good at pretending Daniel's absence in your life hasn't affected you at all but tell me just how many nights since his disappearance have you awaken screaming his name? Feeling your heart pounding so fast in your chest that you thought it was going to burst? How many times have you spent the night pacing the halls or laying in bed staring at the ceiling? How many times have you looked around the house and seen Daniel everywhere but know he's gone? Jack I know you haven't been eating or sleeping. I called you in here because I'm your friend and I want to help you, but if you keep losing weight and losing rest I'll have no choice but to go to the General. I don't want to do that but if I believe you have become a danger, a risk to your teammates then I'll have no other choice."

 

He was angry, hell he was outraged and frustrated and annoyed and just plain down pissed off, but he knew what she was saying was right. He was prepared to lie to her, to tell her that he is fine, that he's been sleeping just fine, that he doesn't skip meals due to bouts of depression or spend hours curled up in bed missing his lover. He wanted to tell her all that but he couldn't. Instead he spoke barely above a whisper, "So what can I do about it?"

 

Janet fell completely silent shocked that Jack even admitted he needed help. She was so stunned that for a moment she didn't know what to say. Then she found her voice, "I can prescribe some sleeping pills if you'd like. I can have Sam and Teal'c keep an eye on you as well... You have got to eat and you have got to sleep. I understand how you're feeling believe me I do. You love him deeply and without him, without him your life feels empty, meaningless...you feel unimportant. You don't feel comfortable or safe any longer. You realize now how much he kept you grounded and kept you sane. You need him but he can't get to you though I imagine he desperately wants to be in your arms again. He's been gone awhile Jack and we have no knowledge of how much longer he'll be...gone. I know that you desperately hope and pray for any signs, any indications, that he is still alive and will return. I know all you want is to have him back in your arms where he belongs and each day, each night you turn to look for him, you reach out to touch him or to kiss him it shatters you to see that empty space where he should be. I know you believe this is so unfair and it is Jack it is but there is nothing we can do except keep searching, keep hoping and praying, keep loving him and speaking to him even when he's not here. Someday, someday he'll be returned to us, he will, but for now we just have to wait."

 

Jack inhaled shakily suddenly realizing that his cheeks were now damp. He blushed when he realized that he shed tears at her words. He quickly brushed them away thanking Janet for speaking with him. She assured him that he could speak to her whenever he needed to and that together Sam, Teal'c and she would help him through this. After their discussion Jack left her office feeling a lot better than he had in weeks.
