Description
On the outskirts of Saddle Arabia, the treasure-hunting extraordinaire known as Daring Do walked by herself under the moonlit sky. She pulled the note from her back pocket to double-check its message: her contact was supposed to meet her at this location by now, but it had been about ten minutes since she'd arrived. She folded her arms and tapped her foot impatiently while she waited for the man in question to show up. After a few minutes, she looked to her right and saw a lone figure walking up to her: the man wore a light cargo jacket and hiking boots, and bore a polite smile on his face.
"Hello, there! You must be the one and only Daring Do, yes?" the man asked.
Grinning at the man's praise, Daring Do pushed down her irritation at his tardiness and flashed a welcoming grin. "Yep, that'd be me. Always a pleasure to meet a fan. I take it you're Dune Serenade?"
The man nodded in confirmation. "Yes. I truly am sorry for keeping you waiting, miss. Some other work-related responsibilities ate up more of my time than I would've liked."
Daring waved a nonchalant hand. "It's no biggie. Now, to business. You said in your note you wanted to see me about a rare discovery or something?"
Dune Serenade gave an impressed smile at her practical attitude. "That's correct. I hear you're quite the expert in rare artifacts, yes? Specifically, in checking whether or not they're legitimate?"
Daring nodded. "Well, sure. As an archaeologist, I've handled more artifacts than you can imagine, which helped me uncover more than my fair share of counterfeits."
"That must come with the job, I presume," Dune commented. "But to further answer your earlier question, I have one artifact with me that I was hoping you could verify is real."
Daring's eyes lit up with interest. "Really? Well, c'mon, then. Show me whatchu got."
Dune grinned as he pulled out a handheld oval stone from his leather satchel. "My cousin recently shipped me this talisman. He claims that it originates from the ruins of an ancient temple dedicated to Queen Amore herself. But I wasn't entirely sure, and found myself in need of a second opinion."
Daring's eyes lingered on the stone talisman in Dune's hands. "Hmm. Here, lemme get a closer look at that." Once she was handed the talisman, Daring began examining every inch of the artifact, using her trained experience to spot any signs or imperfections that would indicate that the item she held was a fake.
"Well?" Dune tilted his head curiously.
"...I'd say this definitely looks genuine," Daring confirmed with a grin. "The craftsmanship here is authentic, and this green stone it's made of appears to be a rare jade called 'Amore's Tears'. That kind of mineral isn't easy to carve, if at all, and the process to do so was lost about two-thousand years ago."
Dune nodded with interest. "And I take it this item would be worth a lot?"
Daring chuckled. "A lot doesn't even begin to cover it. A single piece of Amore's Tears would fetch as much as the GDP of a major city if it went up for auction. It's an extremely rare and sought-after ore, and it'd be a real highly coveted addition to almost any collection."
"Is that so?" Dune gave her a grin laced with both gratitude and affection. "Well, you look like quite the alluring collector's item yourself."
Daring chuckled as she rolled her eyes. "Well, aren't you a charmer? But it just so happens I'm not for sale."
Dune raised a brow. "Not yet, at least."
Daring reeled back from her contact's comment, but she had no time to respond as the talisman in her hands began to glow and vibrate.
"Hey! Uh, what's happening here?" Daring looked up at Dune for an answer, but her eyes widened when she saw the cunning smirk on his lips.
The stone talisman shone brightly with a pink light, before suddenly shooting out a series of bandages that began wrapping themselves around Daring's entire body.
"What the-?!" Daring dropped the talisman, but it continued wrapping her tightly in its bandages until it was finally finished.
Daring was left too stunned to process what just happened before she fell onto her side with a thud. She strained to break herself free, but she remained completely trapped in the bandages she was bound in. She glanced up to see Dune walking closer to her as he chuckled menacingly.
"Comfy enough for you, Ms. Do?" Dune sardonically asked.
"Not really! Get these off of me!" Daring demanded as she wriggled in her bindings.
Dune shook his head. "No can do. Caballeron's expecting you as a new addition to his...private gallery," he replied with a smirk.
Daring shot her head up. "Caballeron?!"
"Yes. My cousin, who sent me the talisman to begin with."
Daring ground her teeth. "Oh, consider your ass toast as soon as I get outta these things!!" she strained even harder to tear the bandages off her, but it was pretty clear they were stuck tightly to her.
Dune smirked. "My cousin was right about you. You're quite the feisty one. No wonder you've been a massive thorn in his side all these years."
"Yeah, that's me. A real pain in the ass!" Daring rolled her eyes hard. "But I've gotten myself out of way worse situations than this, and once I do, I'll be sure to break your skull first before Caballeron's, you slimy worm!!"
Dune gestured at her mummified state. "Look who's calling who a worm."
"Oh, shut up! This isn't gonna last long, just you wait. I'll be free to kick your teeth in any minute!" Daring strained and jerked even more in her restraints, but her movements did very little to free herself. "...Any minute now..."
Dune snickered. "Seeing the great Daring Do so helpless like this is quite the knee-slapper, if I'm being honest. Not to mention, a little hot..."
Daring's eyes smoldered with rage as she thrashed even more in her bonds, kicking and twisting as much as she was physically able, refusing to allow her smarmy captor to embarrass her like this. "What even is this thing, anyway?!" she motioned her head toward the discarded talisman that lay in the sand.
Dune plucked the artifact off the ground and showed it off in his left hand. "I was being partially honest with you earlier. Caballeron did find this little bauble in an old temple of Queen Amore..." his grin became sharklike. "But he sent it to me to test its powers. It's called the 'Cupid's Snare'. Fitting, don't you think?"
He nudged Daring's hip with his boot, eliciting a fierce growl from the explorer. She struggled against the bandages again, but started to become more concerned at Dune's mention of "powers". She knew firsthand how potent magic could be from the ancient artifacts she worked with in the past. But this talisman that ensnared her... it was so... embarrassing!
Daring groaned at her own gullibility. "I had a hunch there was something more going on...but you really got me good here, I'll admit." she sighed in exhaustion from her struggles. "At least do me the courtesy of telling me what this thing even does, so I can be even more pissed before my fate's sealed."
"With pleasure." Dune smirked. "Basically, the Cupid's Snare is an old booby trap devised by Queen Amore herself. It works by telling it the name of your intended target, and it activates once it makes contact with said target. And judging from your current situation here..." he knelt down and caressed Daring's mummified ass. "I'd say it's still it's working in pristine condition."
Daring began thrashing and wriggling even more from her captor's touch, but she soon felt something was off. It was as if her energy was slowly draining away; her struggles started getting weaker, and something in her head was telling her to give up. But Daring Do was not one to quit so easily, despite her chances of escape looking particularly slim. Still, she could feel something making her more lethargic by the second.
"What's this thing doing to me, besides keeping me wrapped up like sushi?!" Daring yelled indignantly.
"Ah, another effect of the Cupid's Snare," Dune remarked. "The bandages it produces are laced with a certain relaxant spell that pacifies its victims. Makes them more cooperative, if you will."
Daring gritted her teeth, but she soon noticed that Dune was right: the more she struggled, the more worn out she felt, which made it even harder to resist. She looked down at herself, all wrapped up from shoulder to toe... How did she of all people get stuck like this?
"This can't be happening... I can't go out like this," Daring bemoaned.
"Don't feel bad. It's not like this trap will leave you a withered husk," Dune reassured her. "It just keeps you nice and snug, while keeping you docile." his grin grew wider. "Caballeron's going to pay me a fortune once I tell him the Cupid's Snare's worth. And that it actually works, which allowed me to snag his lifelong nemesis."
Daring sighed with exhausted defeat. She squirmed one last time to get free, but efforts merely resorted to a little bit of wriggling before she remained still on the sandy ground. She felt herself being even more drained to where she lacked the strength to even move, reduced to slightly shifting around to make herself more comfortable, yet even that ability was slowly being stolen from her control. Daring's heart sank as she looked down at herself, at the thick bandages that kept her restrained...
"It feels tight..." she breathed. "I feel so...so..."
Dune lumbered close to her. "Cozy?"
Daring nodded numbly. "M-Maybe..." She quickly shook her head as she caught herself. What the buck did I just say?!
A wave of humiliation surged through her as she made her confession to Dune. She'd been wrapped up like a tightly-wound burrito, and she was utterly ashamed of the small part of her that was starting to feel...comfortable with her predicament. What was this feeling of euphoria that was starting to spill through the cracks in her mind? Was something possessing her? Was the Cupid's Snare warping her very thoughts along with draining her stamina?
Dune snickered. "My cousin didn't tell me this trap was able to bring out someone's kinky side." he traced his fingers along her side. "Or perhaps that's just you talking..."
"Wh-Whoa, what're you-?" Daring's protest was cut off when the Cupid's Snare started having a more intense effect on her.
She felt it drain away the last few bits of her willpower. She fought as hard as she could to maintain her sense of agency, but eventually, the treasure hunter found herself forced to simply relax against the bandages, which started to glow with a pink aura. The relaxant spell produced by her bonds felt oddly comforting to Daring, which made her feel more secure in being all wrapped up like she was. She struggled to shift around a bit just to find the perfect comfy arrangement for herself on the ground.
Dune marveled at the archaeologist's mummified body. "Stars above... these bandages really do bring out your curves, you know that?" he knelt even closer and started feeling up her hips and thighs.
"T-Th-Thank you..." Daring shivered at his touch. "N-No, wait! Buck off!"
As she kept shifting around to escape Dune's grasp, Daring's curves became more pronounced than ever as her chest and hips strained tighter against the bandages. Her senses went into overdrive as she felt the bandages pressing up against every inch of herself, along with Dune's hands examining her more sensitive areas. The whole situation was incredibly embarrassing, but Daring found herself reveling in her vulnerable state more and more. She couldn't fight the overwhelming rush of blissful emotions. Her entire body felt so...warm...cherished...and safe in her restraints. She fought desperately to ward off the voice in her head telling her to surrender, to hide the growing blush on her cheeks, but all of her efforts were failing miserably.
Daring hung her head back as a satisfied moan escaped her lips. Her eyes then bulged as she snapped her lips shut while staring awkwardly at Dune, whose mischievous grin grew even wider.
"Why, Ms. Do..." he moved closer to whisper into her ear. "If I didn't know any better, I'd say you were enjoying this." he ran a hand down her wrapped-up chest.
Daring moaned even louder as her whole body trembled from the tingles of his husky voice. She squirmed again, trying to hold her own, but it was a losing battle as she became more enthralled by the relaxant spell's effects. Her muscles became limp as she was compelled to lie completely still, despite something inside Daring screaming at her to get back up and keep fighting. But her inner desperation began giving way to...satisfaction. She couldn't help but notice how warm and soft it felt being tied up like this, how the bindings accentuated her curves. Her breathing became more ragged as the sensations grew stronger and more overwhelming. She could do very little but simply give in and lie in Dune's arms. Let herself...feel...it...
Dune cocked his head at Daring's moans and stifled protests. "You make too much noise for my liking. We'll have to fix that." He took some of the Cupid Snare's bandages and started wrapping them tightly around Daring's mouth.
"No, whfmmphh!" Daring tried to protest and fight back, but she couldn't do much of anything as the bandages were wrapped tightly against her lips. She was so drained by now that she felt herself giving in to the feeling of being gagged and silent.
It was so quiet now. Daring was completely at Dune's mercy. She felt so relaxed...so warm and comfy... The last shred of her willpower beseeched Daring to fight the Cupid Snare's hold on her, but the relaxant spell left her with little choice in the matter. She could only resign herself to her fate, basking in the sensation of being totally and utterly trapped.
"There. Much better." Dune planted a soft kiss on her gagged lips and ran a hand down her bum.
"Nhhmphh!!" This time, Daring did try harder to resist, but the growing euphoric magic of the Cupid's Snare left her even more in a trance-like state. She felt herself becoming more relaxed as she felt Dune's hands touching and caressing her mummified body. Her blissful feelings and the spell's effects both became more intense, as she let out a string of curses behind her gagged lips.
"You know...maybe Caballeron doesn't need to know I've got you at my mercy like this..."
"Hmph??" Daring shot her eyes up at Dune's words. The idea that he might not hand her over to his cousin certainly sounded enticing...
No! She had to fight this. She was Daring Do: a true adventurer, a seeker of lost treasures, and most certainly not some helpless damsel at the mercy of...whatever it was that was happening here.
But the relaxant spell of the Cupid's Snare made it even harder for Daring to think straight. The euphoric feelings of being completely restrained and gagged dominated both her mind and body. The desire, the fear, the humiliation...the excitement...
Dune nodded to himself. "Yes. To Tartarus with Caballeron. I think I'll keep you all to myself in my gallery. Doesn't that sound nice?" he smacked her ass hard.
"Mmph!" Daring's eyes nearly rolled back from the wave of adrenaline she received from the punishment. This time, she really tried her hardest to protest against her gag, but her satisfactory bliss made it come out more as a stifled giggle.
Dune arched a brow and spanked her again. Daring squeezed her eyes shut as she let out another muffled moan, the effects of the snare becoming too much for her to resist and causing her body to become even more sensitive to Dune's touch. She could feel the heat on her rump grow more intense, which made it feel even better for her to just lay where she was. Wrapped up tightly, in the arms of her captor, feeling the effects all over at once. Her bindings made her feel as if she was in a heated blanket, and the feelings of security they offered made it too tempting for her to fight back.
"Mmmffrmmpphh..." Daring leaned her head back against the ground as she could practically feel herself fully succumbing to the thrall of the Cupid's Snare.
Dune smirked at Daring's dilating eyes and spanked her a few more times, each one harder than the last.
"Mmph! Hrmmph!! HHMPHH!!" Daring let out a series of moans with each merciless strike to her ass, trying her hardest not to give in but finding that simple task impossible. It was all too stimulating, her body almost numb from the heat and tingling sensations. Her breath grew more shallow and ragged as she could only squirm and wiggle in Dune's grip, but less for escape and more for pleasure. Everything was starting to become too much for Daring as she fully gave in to the physical and mental sensations she was bombarded with.
"Forget the talisman or its price. You are my treasure, Daring Do." Dune leaned closer and wrapped his hands around Daring's wrapped waist and bit hard on her neck and earlobes.
"FFHHMMMMGGHHH!!!" Daring screamed at the top of her lungs behind her wrapped lips. Her cheeks were red-hot as her entire body shivered from the warmth and sensation of Dune's close presence. She was rendered utterly immobilized and silent, leaving her unable to do anything but savor the helplessness of her predicament. She could feel Dune's hands caressing her from top to bottom, feel his tongue brush against her skin as he nibbled on her neck and ears, and she couldn't help but submit to every single moment of it. Every touch of his was so inviting and provocative-

Rainbow Dash burst out laughing as she collapsed onto the ground, rolling around as she clutched her aching sides. Twilight stood completely still as sweat poured down her face.
Daring Do - dressed in her "A.K. Yearling" disguise - gave her an unimpressed stare as she held the latter's written fanfiction in her hands.
"...Well?" Twilight timidly asked.
Daring sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose. "It's...creative, I'll give you that."
"Oh - oh, man!! Even my smut's not as cheesy as this!!" Rainbow guffawed.
"Rainbow!!" Twilight snapped with cherry-red cheeks.
"What? I can come up with a way better bondage story than this!"
"As long as it's not about me." Daring folded her arms.
Twilight and Rainbow instantly remembered who it was that was with them and quickly composed themselves (despite Rainbow still sporting her trademark cocky grin).
"I'm sorry, Daring." Twilight bowed her head. "When I read your latest book about you exploring Queen Amore's temple, I just had to write my own story on it for you to proofread!"
"You sure it wasn't for next month's fanfic entry contest?" Rainbow nudged Twilight's shoulder.
"...M-Maybe..." Twilight's cheeks were somehow redder.
"Well, I wouldn't have given it a place in the Top 5, I'll tell you that much," Daring bluntly stated before muttering, "I can't even tell you how many Daring Do bondage fics I get in the mail almost each day..."
Twilight hid her blushing face in her hands, while Rainbow resumed her chuckling.
Daring rolled her eyes. "Look, personal feelings and...questionable plot material aside, I do admire your strive for writing."
Twilight grinned anxiously and scratched the back of her head. "I'll take what I can get, I suppose."
"Also - not that it's my business - you seem pretty experienced in writing smut like this."
Rainbow jumped in before Twilight could reply. "That's easy. She's got plenty of experience from her nights in bed with Sunset. You should hear them just going at it like-!"
Twilight's face was scarlet as she promptly grabbed Rainbow and started shoving her out of Daring's home. "OkaythankyouforthereviewIreallyappreciateitSorryfordisturbingyoulikethisOkayByyyyeee!!!"
Daring stared at the spot where her two fans/friends were standing just moments ago, before shaking her head again at Twilight's fanfiction. "Writers these days"...

"Nhhmphh!!" This time, Daring did try harder to resist, but the growing euphoric magic of the Cupid's Snare left her even more in a trance-like state. She felt herself becoming more relaxed as she felt Dune's hands touching and caressing her mummified body. Her blissful feelings and the spell's effects both became more intense, as she let out a string of curses behind her gagged lips.
"You know...maybe Caballeron doesn't need to know I've got you at my mercy like this..."
"Hmph??" Daring shot her eyes up at Dune's words. The idea that he might not hand her over to his cousin certainly sounded enticing...
No! She had to fight this. She was Daring Do: a true adventurer, a seeker of lost treasures, and most certainly not some helpless damsel at the mercy of...whatever it was that was happening here.
But the relaxant spell of the Cupid's Snare made it even harder for Daring to think straight. The euphoric feelings of being completely restrained and gagged dominated both her mind and body. The desire, the fear, the humiliation...the excitement...
Dune nodded to himself. "Yes. To Tartarus with Caballeron. I think I'll keep you all to myself in my gallery. Doesn't that sound nice?" he smacked her ass hard.
"Mmph!" Daring's eyes nearly rolled back from the wave of adrenaline she received from the punishment. This time, she really tried her hardest to protest against her gag, but her satisfactory bliss made it come out more as a stifled giggle.
Dune arched a brow and spanked her again. Daring squeezed her eyes shut as she let out another muffled moan, the effects of the snare becoming too much for her to resist and causing her body to become even more sensitive to Dune's touch. She could feel the heat on her rump grow more intense, which made it feel even better for her to just lay where she was. Wrapped up tightly, in the arms of her captor, feeling the effects all over at once. Her bindings made her feel as if she was in a heated blanket, and the feelings of security they offered made it too tempting for her to fight back.
"Mmmffrmmpphh..." Daring leaned her head back against the ground as she could practically feel herself fully succumbing to the thrall of the Cupid's Snare.
Dune smirked at Daring's dilating eyes and spanked her a few more times, each one harder than the last.
"Mmph! Hrmmph!! HHMPHH!!" Daring let out a series of moans with each merciless strike to her ass, trying her hardest not to give in but finding that simple task impossible. It was all too stimulating, her body almost numb from the heat and tingling sensations. Her breath grew more shallow and ragged as she could only squirm and wiggle in Dune's grip, but less for escape and more for pleasure. Everything was starting to become too much for Daring as she fully gave in to the physical and mental sensations she was bombarded with.
"Forget the talisman or its price. You are my treasure, Daring Do." Dune leaned closer and wrapped his hands around Daring's wrapped waist and bit hard on her neck and earlobes.
"FFHHMMMMGGHHH!!!" Daring screamed at the top of her lungs behind her wrapped lips. Her cheeks were red-hot as her entire body shivered from the warmth and sensation of Dune's close presence. She was rendered utterly immobilized and silent, leaving her unable to do anything but savor the helplessness of her predicament. She could feel Dune's hands caressing her from top to bottom, feel his tongue brush against her skin as he nibbled on her neck and ears, and she couldn't help but submit to every single moment of it. Every touch of his was so inviting and provocative-

Rainbow Dash burst out laughing as she collapsed onto the ground, rolling around as she clutched her aching sides. Twilight stood completely still as sweat poured down her face.
Daring Do - dressed in her "A.K. Yearling" disguise - gave her an unimpressed stare as she held the latter's written fanfiction in her hands.
"...Well?" Twilight timidly asked.
Daring sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose. "It's...creative, I'll give you that."
"Oh - oh, man!! Even my smut's not as cheesy as this!!" Rainbow guffawed.
"Rainbow!!" Twilight snapped with cherry-red cheeks.
"What? I can come up with a way better bondage story than this!"
"As long as it's not about me." Daring folded her arms.
Twilight and Rainbow instantly remembered who it was that was with them and quickly composed themselves (despite Rainbow still sporting her trademark cocky grin).
"I'm sorry, Daring." Twilight bowed her head. "When I read your latest book about you exploring Queen Amore's temple, I just had to write my own story on it for you to proofread!"
"You sure it wasn't for next month's fanfic entry contest?" Rainbow nudged Twilight's shoulder.
"...M-Maybe..." Twilight's cheeks were somehow redder.
"Well, I wouldn't have given it a place in the Top 5, I'll tell you that much," Daring bluntly stated before muttering, "I can't even tell you how many Daring Do bondage fics I get in the mail almost each day..."
Twilight hid her blushing face in her hands, while Rainbow resumed her chuckling.
Daring rolled her eyes. "Look, personal feelings and...questionable plot material aside, I do admire your strive for writing."
Twilight grinned anxiously and scratched the back of her head. "I'll take what I can get, I suppose."
"Also - not that it's my business - you seem pretty experienced in writing smut like this."
Rainbow jumped in before Twilight could reply. "That's easy. She's got plenty of experience from her nights in bed with Sunset. You should hear them just going at it like-!"
Twilight's face was scarlet as she promptly grabbed Rainbow and started shoving her out of Daring's home. "OkaythankyouforthereviewIreallyappreciateitSorryfordisturbingyoulikethisOkayByyyyeee!!!"
Daring stared at the spot where her two fans/friends were standing just moments ago, before shaking her head again at Twilight's fanfiction. "Writers these days"...
