Of Love and Punishment
()
About this ebook
Dis, the ancient word for Hell, is a world parallel to our own, close enough for its inhabitants to pass back and forth from their realm into ours, collecting souls and tormenting believers.
Charam is a handsome devil who can easily pass for human. It’s an ability that brings him both pleasure and punishment. He loves his partner, Raum, a minor member of Dis aristocracy, but sometimes he slips. He can’t seem to control himself and he strays. It’s what he does. And why not? Apart from the fact he is a demon, the human male form is just too deliciously tempting.
When Raum discovers Charam’s infidelities, Charam vows to mend his ways, but it isn’t long before he's at it again. Ah, the delights of the human cock! The feel of a muscular body, the aroma of male pheromone, and the bittersweet taste of cum!
When his infidelity is discovered a second time, there is no forgiveness. In a rage, Raum conjures up a unique punishment. No scarlet letter ‘A’ for Charam. Oh no. He has something much more beastly in mind.
A lover humiliated is a dangerous thing, and Charam wants revenge. But his little plan goes too far. At first he doesn’t care what happens -- he is hurt and angry -- but a journey into the Wildlands soon changes that.
Is it too late to rescue his beloved Raum? The matter may well be out of his hands.

Of Love and Punishment
By Wayne Mansfield
Chapter 1
The landscape was a vast expanse of scorched soil dotted with trees blackened almost to charcoal by flame. Their twisted branches reached beseechingly to the inky cloud that smothered the sky above and kept the world below in a permanent shadowy twilight. A smoky mist swirled above the black dirt, and in it dark shapes with eyes that glowed and tongues that hung dripping from teeth-filled jaws scavenged. A chance discovery by one of their number, the charred remains of something too slow to flee the inferno that had days earlier swept through, soon brought others to its side until the carcass was a seething mass of gnashing teeth and low growls.
Charam, close to collapse and desperate for rest, ran headlong through the mist towards them, unaware that what he was running towards was far more horrifying than what he was running from. He tripped on a clod of dirt and stumbled forward. His arms shot out to break his fall. His palms hit the ground. A grunt of pain leapt from his lips, attracting the attention of the feasting beasts.
Clambering to his feet, Charam glanced over his shoulder and allowed himself a few seconds to catch his breath. In the silence between breaths his ears detected something moving rapidly through the mist towards him. Knowing he could not go back the way he had come, his eyes scoured the smoky landscape and soon found an outcrop of large rocks, ovoid in shape and appearing in the haze like a nest of haphazardly laid eggs.
The best of his energy was already spent, but the instinct for survival propelled him forward. He could hear the panting of whatever it was behind him and soon he had forgotten his original pursuer. His foot came down on something hard. The word ‘stick’ registered and he bent down and snatched it up. Now he had a weapon.
He ran for the rocks, and with the last of his strength, he leapt onto the lowest boulder, yet as he landed the first of the beasts leapt after him. He whimpered as the beast’s snout hit the heel of his foot. He kicked at it, managing to dislodge it so that it fell back into the pack. Wasting no time Charam climbed. His fingertips dug into the rock until they bled, but better to bleed than to perish, he thought. With arms and legs and feet and hands all working together he manoeuvred himself to the next level of rock while below him the ravenous beasts barked and jumped at him with snapping jaws.
Safe for the moment, Charam watched as the dog-like creatures sniffed the rocks and explored alternative points of access to the higher levels. Their whippet thin hind regions seemed disproportionate to their bulky, hair covered head and shoulders, though Charam knew the power those back legs contained. Their teeth, thin and twisted, crowded a narrow snout infested with disease, though he also knew the power in those jaws.
One of them defecated on the rock, drawing the attention of the others who gathered around to sniff the waste. Charam used the opportunity to lever himself upwards between two of the taller boulders thereby putting more distance between himself and those hunting him. By now his fingertips were in tatters. Stabs of stinging pain echoed through his brain each time his mangled digits connected with the surface of the rock. He winced as he clawed his way up, hanging on until his feet found purchase enough to elevate him further towards the top.
The beasts were distracted only momentarily. The smell of fresh flesh was too overpowering, too deliciously enticing. Two of their number ran at
