Doctor Delicious
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Aurora sighed softly as she looked over the verdant park of her little town, as foals cheerfully played tag, or tetherball between the trees. It was a contented sigh, from the pink ponygirl, as a soft breeze blew through her emerald hair. The doctor took pride in the health of the village, which she worked hard to maintain, but lately there had been something… missing, in her life. As much of an impact as she'd had for everyone, she missed that certain… pizazz that she'd had during her college days. That adventurous spirit that had been a big part of her personality when she was younger.
 
 
That was exactly why she'd decided to go on this coming expedition. There were rumors that an herb, long thought to be extinct, had been spotted by hikers in the nearby mountains. Unfortunately that same group of hikers had started with two more people than they'd returned with. Something had happened to the other ponies, but those who'd come back either didn't know, or wouldn't say.
 
 
This was it. This was the opportunity she'd been waiting for. A chance to both have another adventure, and further her career at the same time. She'd come out here to clear her thoughts, as well as sort of… galvanize herself to the outdoors after so long going back and forth between the clinic and her home. But… it was quickly becoming time to return home so she could rest before marching, hopefully triumphantly, into the mountains tomorrow. She could hardly contain her excitement!

Aurora only slept for four or five hours that night. Her imagination kept running wild with thoughts of adventure. Wondering what exactly she might find on her way. She'd been told to meet with the other explorers halfway up the Rock Candy pass, and now that she was well on her way, she was starting to get butterflies in her stomach. She wasn't the best at breaking the ice with new people, and had spent a good portion of the hike practicing her greetings. By now the forest around her had grown so thick that it might as well have been twilight, with only the cobblestone path beneath her to keep her on the right way.
 
 
Soon enough, exactly as promised, Aurora could see a group of tents waiting for her at the middle waypoint. Standing in the center of the camp was a gorgeous, gray unicorn, who's long, white mane had somehow found a breeze to be blown in as she cooked a few berries over a small fire.
 
 
Aurora chuckled at how… without any communication, the two had somehow managed to wear the same outfit. Black cargo pants and boots, with a tough white jacket over their undershirt. Great minds think alike, she supposed.
 
 
“Hello!” the doctor called out, somewhat awkwardly. “You m-must be Silver?”
 
 
The unicorn looked up from the fire and smiled somewhat boyishly. “That's my name. Don't wear it out.” She then tilted her head, cracking her neck in decidedly unladylike fashion. “Thanks for setting up camp by the way.”
 
 
“Oh…” Aurora rubbed the back of her neck for a moment. “I'm only now getting here. I assumed that was you actually.”
 
 
“Well I’ll be darned.” The unicorn placed a hand on her hip, and gave a rather annoyed expression. “Did they head out before us?”
 
 
“Oh I hope not.” Aurora replied, looking over the camp. “That would be incredibly unprofessional.” She took a moment to look over the place.
 
 
Everything had been neatly organized into five tents. Four for the members of their little excursion to sleep in, and one to hold their supplies, which… at first glance seemed to be entirely untouched. All centered around a dugout fireplace, with a meter of dry dirt radiating outward to avoid the risk of fire spreading. It appeared as though everyone had arrived and prepared to spend the night, rather than hike out so early. Where then… was everyone?
 
 
“Should one of us head out to look for them?” The doctor’s question had a growing twinge of worry to it. Something was off, and this wasn’t her first rodeo, so to speak.
 
 
“Eh. I wouldn’t bother with it.” The unicorn pulled a sleeping bag from one of the tents, close to where the nonexistent fire was. She then snapped her fingers for a few seconds, until a faint ember glowed between them. Lastly, she cradled that flame until it rested in the middle of the firepit, and let it catch the small pile of wood ablaze. “They’re all professionals. I’m sure they know what they’re doing.” She flicked her wrist until the magical flame in her hands went out, letting the fresh campfire be the only warmth for the moment. “I’m Taang by the way.” She reached the same hand out to offer a handshake.
 
 
“Aurora.” replied the doctor. “Nice to meet you.”
 
 
“Likewise.” Taang smiled warmly, then kneeled down to slip into her sleeping bag. “So, you looking to make a profit with the plant we’re looking for out here?”
 
 
“Oh, well, I’m a caregiver you see. I was hoping there’d be some… healing properties. I guess you could say I’m an alchemist looking for my personal philosopher’s stone. Some… magical leaf that could help with my career.”
 
 
“Better a reason than most, I guess. Me? I was supposed to be the guide, which is why I’m doubly peeved that they started without me.” Taang rested her head in her hands, and her elbows against the ground. “But… what’s a pony gonna do? They’re both grown mares. Can’t force them to wait.
 
 
“It still seems odd to me, but… I’m probably just being paranoid.” Aurora took a seat next to the fire. It was strangely comforting to look into, even if there was still plenty of daylight remaining. There was something very primal about fire. Something every pony, unicorn, and pegasus could appreciate at the center of their being.
 
 
—
 
 
The two whiled away the time chatting about the mountain, or their careers, or how this mysterious herb had managed to stay hidden for so long. It had been such an amicable conversation that Aurora almost didn’t realize the sun had vanished over the horizon, and there was still no sign of their compatriots. However, now that it was almost time to get started on dinner, the worry that she’d felt hours ago returned in force.
 
 
“Maybe we should go looking for the others after all…” pondered the doctor aloud, as she stared into the shaded darkness of the woods.
 
 
Taang shrugged. “If you insist. Though one of us should probably remain, in case they return. I'll get working on dinner too, so you'll have something to look forward to when you return victorious.” She smiled, and headed to the supply tent, to produce a large metal tripod and pot. “How's that sound?”
 
 
Aurora smiled. Something about this girl just rubbed her in all the right ways. She was charming, friendly… and the fact that she was gorgeous didn't hurt either. “That sounds like a plan.” she replied, before slipping between the trees.
 
 
The terrain here was quite treacherous. Every plant, including the woods themselves grew at a sharp angle. Vertical, but slanted relative to the slope of the mountain. The campsite, and the path leading up to it, had been the relatively level anomaly. The more untouched wilds were far less forgiving. Aurora found herself tilting as well, often struggling to keep her balance. Soon enough she managed to find a good equilibrium, but this only made her search moderately easier.
 
 
So high up, in such thin air, flying insects were blessedly rare, but that didn't stop the odd owl hoot, or even wolf call from giving Aurora a bit of a fright. This wasn't her first rodeo, so to speak, but it had been some time since her last trek. She'd definitely gotten a bit rusty.
 
 
—
 
 
Some half hour later, Aurora hadn't found so much as a trail of footprints, much less the missing expedition members. However an absolutely exquisite scent somehow wafted her way from the campground. Surely even the most directionally challenged individuals could follow it all the way back. Besides, she was getting hungry. She couldn't go exploring on an empty stomach. Could she?
 
 
She returned shortly after, to the delightful sight of Taang in form fitting nightwear, looking over the pot as she shook some sort of seasoning into it. A tantalizing creamy-looking broth bubbled just below the brim, with chunks of meat and vegetables bobbing within. Steam rose into the air from the stew, getting caught by the wind and blowing away, almost looking magical with the way it wisped out.
 
 
“Don't think that's a little dangerous?” asked Aurora, though she approached smiling. “Pretty sure I heard wolves out there.” She then looked around. Still no sign of the others?”
 
 
“Nope…” answered Taang, as she took a somber expression. “But don't worry about the wolves. I know how to handle them. You hungry?”
 
 
“So hungry I could eat a horse.” The doctor chuckled to herself at the crude joke. Normally she was much more reserved, but something about this unicorn made put her at ease. Perhaps it loosened her up a bit too much.
 
 
Taang smirked at that. “Well, good fit you then that I've made a lot. Go ahead. Dig in~”
 
 
Aurora wasted no time in doing just that. Despite the sparse surroundings, the stew had a delectable, almost gourmet flavor that felt like it was made from the most professional ingredients. If this woman hadn't been a wild guide, she would have had an excellent career as a chef.
 
 
—
 
 
The two rambled on for another hour as they polished off the food. Aurora never could quite place the flavor of the meat, but it was a savory umami, swimming in a delicate, yet generous mixture of spices that complimented its mild gameyness perfectly. The doctor couldn't help but fantasize about having such a talented woman in her own home someday. The most she herself could do was a mean ham sandwich. This was positively gourmet.
 
 
All the while, Taang was so unconcerned with the missing team members that Aurora couldn't help but forget her own worries. Wherever they were, they had to be fine. These weren't children after all. They were adults who knew what they were doing. Beyond that, Taang was more familiar with this place than anyone. If she felt there was no danger, then surely there was nothing to worry about.
 
 
It was unmistakable now. Taang had a certain, magical allure to her. One that kept Aurora soft and trusting. Between the two of them they’d covered topics like their past, their careers, and even their beliefs, without a hint of animosity sparking between them. Taang seemed particularly interested in the job Aurora had before becoming a full time doctor. Many of her adventures had been spent making sure the others in her group were kept in good health, which was more difficult than one might have imagined, with the number of narrow scrapes they’d had.
 
 
When the time came to switch sides in the conversion, Taang herself explained that she'd spent much of her life here in the mountains. Becoming familiar with every crag. She could practically name every rock on every cliffside at this point. It was a lonely life, on occasion. Then again she was something of an introvert, so she didn't mind it, usually.
 
 
Soon enough the food coma began to kick in. Aurora found herself comfortably snuggling into her sleeping bag as the fire began to wane. Tomorrow would be another day to search for both the others, and the miracle herb. For now… she needed her rest.
 
 
—
 
 
Aurora woke much, much later to the sound of wind lightly howling through a tunnel. Still disoriented from her rest, she shook her head, trying to loosen the grogginess that clung to her. It was only then that she realized just how heavy her head felt, and that everything looked… upside down?
 
 
The camp had been meticulously moved, matching the same layout but… in a cave? What was more, she'd been carefully tied into her sleeping bag, which now dangled from a single hook on the cavern's ceiling.
 
 
Taang walked by just at that moment, to Aurora's flustered realization, now completely in the buff. The doctor's first reaction was to shyly look away but… curiosity and panic very quickly took hold of her. Her eyes began at the unicorn's ankles, then gradually worked their way up her muscular legs, toned rear, and finally her taut torso.
 
 
“T-Taang?” she called out, her voice shaken with confusion. “Taang, where are we? What's happening?”
 
 
“Why, we're at my home of course.” Taang answered, as though it should be obvious. “And what's happening is that you're all tied up so you don't try to run away~”
 
 
“But… why?”
 
 
Taang placed a hand on her hip. Aurora had to crane her neck to look into her incredulous expression.
 
 
“Because I highly doubt you want to be eaten. The others sure didn't…”
 
 
Aurora stared on, bewildered, shocked, and at a loss fire words. She couldn't be real. This had to be some sort of dream.
 
 
“I don't want to… Of course I don't!” she blurted out.
 
 
“There. You see? Then the ropes are completely justified.”
 
 
“Taang, this isn't funny! Let me down! All the blood rushing to my head isn't healthy!”
 
 
“No. I suppose it isn't…” The unicorn put a hand to her chin as though in thought. She then loosened a single rope around Aurora's sleeping bag. In an instant the doctor tumbled down, but not fast enough to prevent Taang from slipping the binds downward to recapture Aurora, now without the outer layer of the sleeping bag.
 
 
Aurora might have been impressed at such a feat of dexterity, if she wasn't currently panicking… The bindings were just loose enough as to allow her to wiggle as the muscular girl threw her over her shoulder, but not enough room to make any meaningful motions. Whoever this unicorn was… she knew what she was doing. She didn't need an ounce of magic to accomplish what she wanted to do, despite her heritage.
 
 
It was only as the girl carried her over, towards a large firepit beneath a hole in the cavern's ceiling, that Aurora considered something that Taang said just before… That the “others'' didn't want to be eaten. The rest of the expedition never did get lost. They found the camp just like she did. They'd probably even set it all up themselves. But then…
 
 
“Y-you… the others. All at the same time?”
 
 
Taang sighed and rolled her eyes, as if she was annoyed at needing to tell the same story over and over. “No…” she began, her voice a bit pitched. “Not at the same time hun.” After making it just underneath the ray of light that peaked through the ceiling, she gently laid Aurora on her side, being sure to face her in her own direction.
 
 
“It was really rather simple. I only needed to alter the dates of the expedition to the correspondence I gave each of you. Resulting in a slow, perfectly rhythmed trickle of meat for me…”
 
 
Aurora cowed slightly. She felt like a fool as she listened, watching Taang mill about to prepare the nearby firepit as she talked.
 
 
“Then… there really is no… magical herb?” Aurora was clearly distraught at the idea. She’d… really believed she could find something special out here, in the middle of nowhere. Had it all been nothing more than a ruse?
 
 
“Of course there is.” said the cannibal, rather matter-of-factly. “And it's delicious.” She then walked over, after placing a large pile of wood down, to gently pinch Aurora's cheek.
 
 
“You, my sweet, certainly had the most… altruistic reason for searching. It's almost a shame to punish you like the others.” she explained, before shifting her hands to painfully grope the girl's breasts. “Almost…”
 
 
Aurora was certain she'd gotten a record for developing and dashing hopes just then. “Th-then why eat me?” The words emerged like an unordered pile of bricks. Driven by nothing but raw emotion.
 
 
“Quite simply, because you're far too appetizing to let go~” Taang then reached over to give the pink pony a swat to the rear. “Much more than the rest of your group.” The unicorn stood up and stretched for a moment, then moved back to place two large supports stands into the ashes of the pit. “Plus I can't have you snitching on me back at town, can I?”
 
 
With that, the predator next pulled a bundle of dried plants from a nearby wall, and carried them over to Aurora to see. “ Rare, difficult to farm… They have excellent anti-magical properties…” She then pulled them away, and whispered seductively into Aurora's ear. “And it's exquisitely paired with pony meat~” Once she was certain Aurora had seen it, she placed the bundle back for the moment. It was poetic to flavor the girl with what she'd been seeking all along, like it was to do with the others, but it wasn't time just yet.
 
 
Aurora shivered, hearing that, and the unmistakably sensual way it was spoken, stirred something within her. Something both uncomfortable… and frustratingly intriguing at the same time. Aurora had been in perilous situations before, during her adventurer days. She’d been attacked by bandits, narrowly avoided temple traps, and even threatened to be sacrificed by a cult. Something about the way Taang spoke however, hit her differently than anything before. Theoretically, she knew how to escape her bindings, somewhere in the back of her mind, but her muscle memory refused to kick in, for reasons that were slowly becoming apparent to her…
 
 
The unicorn observed her capture closely for a good, long time, before producing a survival knife from a nearby supply pack, and letting it hover close to Aurora’s chest for an unnerving amount of time. She seemed to delight in every expression her captive gave. First a flinch, then a futile attempt to pull away, and finally a pathetic, wide eyed stare. Was this it? Was this… mountain girl about to kill her?
 
 
Aurora didn’t need to say anything for Taang to know what she was thinking. The unicorn gave a hearty laugh, then proceeded to instead cut at the doctor’s clothes, one by one tearing scraps of fabric off without even touching the ropes that forced her to be compliant. Soon enough, the pink pony was only clothed by those bindings, and a faint blush grew over her adorable face.
 
 
This only seemed to work the cannibal up even more. She quickly tossed the blade aside, and shifted Aurora to sit on her haunches while she let her hands wander, beginning at Aurora’s shoulders, and slowly slipping closer, and closer to her womanhood.
 
 
“Mhhh… I think I can have a good deal more fun with you… than the others…” she thought aloud, as her hands next slid around to pinch Aurora’s rear.
 
 
To her shame, Aurora wasn’t quite sure how to feel about this. Flattered? Violated? Both?
 
 
“Wh-what do you mean?” In truth, Aurora knew exactly what the cannibal meant, but some stubborn part of her wanted to believe it was all a horrible misunderstanding on her part.
 
 
Taang only smiled back for a time, letting her hands wander for several seconds before finally calling Aurora's bluff. “Take a guess, sweety…”
 
 
There was a certain… buzzing in Aurora's chest. The kind of ecstacy known only by those who sought out danger. The thrill-seeking adventurer Aurora had been in the past had never retired. Rather, it had simply grown dull for a time. Now, she was feeling the sensation of danger's fangs at her neck as if it were the first time again. Fear was reasonable and yet… it was also savory.
 
 
“You… m-monster!” Aurora's conviction was lacking, as was any weight to her words.
 
 
“You're not wrong.” Taang seemed utterly unfazed by her captive's puny attempt at insult. “But being a monster is just so much fun.” Without an ounce of consent requested, the girl suddenly penetrated between Aurora's legs, forcing her to buck forward in surprise. “You should try it some time.” She then pushed inward sharply, causing poor Aurora's eyes to broaden as feminine feeling took over. “Oh wait… I suppose that's not quite possible for you any longer~”
 
 
Taang's sharp, taunting words stung like a slap to the face, and Aurora had nothing to retort with. She was largely far too caught up in a resurgence of feelings both old and new to speak regardless. Not only was this freak going to devour her like some cob of corn, but she was also violating her…
 
 
That wasn't… so… bad…
 
 
—
 
 
Once again, the unicorn demonstrated a magical ability to enchant people. To force them into a calmness whether they wanted to be or not. Aurora's perception of time skewed as she couldn't help but give in to it all. Taang had stirred her body in ways she hadn't felt in years, from the gentle suckling on her teats, to the cruelly unceasing assault of fingers into her tunnel of love. This was what Aurora wanted in all of this… in one way or another. Excitement… and experience.
 
 
But it couldn't last forever could it? Not with the ravenous cannibal that was attached to those soft lips and stern fingers. Over time, Taang's eyes left Aurora's body to hold on her firepit instead, and this only grew more frequent as time went on.
 
 
 
 
“Mhhh… I think it's past time that we moved on… don't you?” asked the white unicorn as she licked some of her victim's juices from the tips of her fingers.
 
 
Aurora only whimpered in response. For multiple reasons.
 
 
Taang's face twisted into a knowing grin. She saw something in Aurora, perhaps even farther into her than the pink girl herself would look. If nothing else this made Aurora feel… special, in a bizarrely perverted way. “I've got a special method to try on people like yourself, my dear. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised…”
 
 
With that, the cannibal moved to find two more stands amongst the clutter of her hideout, before placing them perpendicular to the other two in the cold firepit. Aurora next watched as she pulled a large, circular metal grate out from behind one of the many tents, and daintiltv rested it atop all four of the stands. She put a certain care into it all, which almost made the fact that she was going to EAT another person seem a bit… softer. Almost.
 
 
The athletic girl then returned to Aurora's side, before once again surprising the doctor with her strength. All it took was one arm and a good pull to sling her over her shoulder, ass forward, then walk towards the pit…
 
 
Aurora's heart felt like it was bouncing around inside her ribcage. This… was really it, wasn't it? She couldn't muster the courage or even the will to fight back, despite herself. All the bound beauty could do was wiggle pathetically as she was carried forward, if only to spend some of that nervous energy. Some part of her still wanted to believe that Taang was that pleasant mountain girl she met yesterday and just refused to see her like this. A cold predator, with deviant taste.
 
 
Her subtle motions seemed to drive Taang wild, and she couldn't resist placing a few good smacks on that jiggling butt. Finally, with a loud grunt, the cannibal then tossed her captive onto the grate with a loud grunt.
 
 
Aurora's only reply was to stare up into the woman's eyes. This earned a moment of Taang licking her own lips, before she bent forward to cut Aurora's arms free.
 
 
If the doctor had harbored the ability to resist, Taang gave her no chance to act on it. Within moments the cannibal had taken the same shortened bindings, and used them to hold Aurora's wrists to the corners of the grate. Before her victim even knew what was happening, her legs and ankles were next.
 
 
Aurora only cursorily tugged at her new bands. Both of them knew there was no escaping now for her. All that could be done was to make the experience as… comfortable as possible, for what that would be worth.
 
 
Not that that exactly seemed to be the highest of Taang's priorities. The downwards glance she sent in Aurora's direction was one of primal, unmitigated lust, like an animal in heat. She was about as concerned with Aurora's easement as a dragon might be to a kobold.
 
 
This was sensuality to her. Far more exciting than any penetration, or tribadation could possibly provide. She needed this to feel the full spectrum of sexual arousal, for one reason or another…
 
 
And it was frighteningly infectious. Maybe that was why Aurora couldn't quite muster enough will to push back. Was it magic, on Taang's part? Possibly. Was it an extension of her own natural charm? Most definitely.
 
 
The cannibal almost looked as though she wanted to hop up and feel her prey up and down one more time, but there was work to be done. Despite the fact that she seemed to have, at least somewhat modern sensibilities, Taang had showed her hand as something of a wild woman, and the fact that she was using a simple flint and steel solidified that concept.
 
 
Aurora skipped a breath, instinctively flinching just a little, each time that Taang scraped the stones together. At first, it seemed that it simply wouldn't work, and Aurora dared to hope that maybe…she could survive at least another night, if it all became too frustrating for Taang to continue.
 
 
Unfortunately, the woman was a survivalist, with a stubbornness and attention span that city types just didn't have. Ten scrapes, twenty, fifty? It didn't matter how long it took. This was happening, sooner or later.
 
 
Sooner, on that spectrum… was the answer. Aurora had counted exactly twenty-two scrapes. Just enough time for her to loosen up and let the fear quay for a moment. That was when a loud whoosh filled the air and Auora first began to feel the touch of heat on her backside. The first licks were almost pleasant. Like the feeling she'd had when looking into last night's flames with Taang, only now… “behind” her. That changed very quickly however. Those tongues of fire rapidly grew larger, and more pronounced with time, and their kisses more forceful. The doctor's eyes quickly began to bulge with a new panic, and once more she started to wriggle and squirm helplessly, much to Taang's delight.
 
 
The scent of singing pony fur might have been overpowering to some, but to Taang it was a delectable part of the process. It was like stripping her naked once again, after already stripping her naked. One final layer to push through in all this. Of course, she'd taken every precaution to keep the poor girl's hair out of the flames, to keep it for final… presentation, but that would have to be a more… active part of the preparation. Fire had a mind of its own. Good cannibals knew to respect that and act accordingly. If she could have, she would have done the same for the tail but… well… quite frankly that was a whole other beast. Not to mention that the meat there, while scant, was absolutely to die for…
 
 
Aurora couldn't help but whimper loudly as the flames did their work on her helpless form. The heat was almost like a living being, touching and caressing her, without an ounce of concern for how she felt. The slight shifts to find a position that was ever so slightly more cool, were all for naught, as the scalding fingers found her everywhere she moved.
 
 
Aurora felt the seesaw of emotion she'd been under shift more towards natural fear, the more the heat began to get to her. Or maybe it was just common sense finally gripping her by the tail. Maybe… it was time for a little… bargaining? Maybe she could appeal to this woman's desires, since her conscience seemed off the table.
 
 
“W-wait! T-Taang!” She winced as a particularly potent surge of heat scorched her bottom. “D-don't you think… I-I could give you so much more fun if I… Oooh! I-if I stuck around a bit longer?” She tilted her head to face the cannibal, given the biggest, albeit also most nervous, smile she could possibly muster in all this. “I-I mean… I… Ahhh! I know is-everything you like now… right?”
 
 
Taang, who'd retreated to the cave wall to… play with herself as she watched, chuckled before responding. “Funny. That's exactly what the last one said too. But then I met you after. There's always another, but don't worry sweety. I'll be sure to remember you…”
 
 
Aurora once again felt her heart sink into the pit of her stomach. That was… all she had really. Her only poker chip, and Taang had so easily called her bluff. Why hadn't she put more resistance in while she had the chance?
 
 
Suddenly Taang stood up rather rapidly, just as it seemed she was on the verge… Perhaps she liked to hold that edge more than she liked to arrive. The unicorn then went fishing through her supplies one more time, to produce a jug of oil, and an insensibly sized bit of… produce. Specifically, an inordinately sized carrot and a plump apple. Vegetable in hand she then appreached the makeshift grill, grinning ear to ear at every twitch Aurora gave.
 
 
“You rather enjoyed her leftovers, and I'm certain the next will love yours even more…”
 
 
Aurora's jaw flung open. The stew last night… It was…
 
 
That thought hung right there. Suddenly, as the massive carrot split her lip like a wedge, she had more immediate things to consider. “Aaaaugh!” Her eyes went wide with feelings she never knew could mix together so perfectly. How had Taang endured the heat this close to the source, where Aurora was quite literally cooking alive? More importantly, once again she just had to ask why it felt so good!
 
 
Was she… a pain slut? The thought was absolutely humiliating to consider. She had a history. A career. Yet here she was, getting juicy as a crazy woman split her flower while a fire roared just underneath her. Making it all the more unbearable, was the fact that Taang saw every one of her reactions. She knew, beyond the shadow of a doubt just what Aurora was thinking, and it only stirred her all the more.
 
 
“Mhhh… I knew there was something special about you…” mused the cannibal aloud, as she carefully drizzled the cooking oil over Aurora's helpless body. The occasional leap of flame this drew, didn't seem to bother her one iota. “Something deep, unknown but innate to your being.”
 
 
“I-I'm not!” lied the pink pony. “I just…”
 
 
“Why do you think you craved adventure? After so long in such a cozy career? Was it the thrill of discovery or… perhaps you craved something a bit more… intense.” Taang braved the heat for just a little longer to shove the carrot in just a bit more, proving her exceptional hardiness. It also elicited a panicked… pleasured squeal from her victim, much to said roaster's embarrassment.
 
 
“I-I…” Aurora had no rebuttal, other than a rapid flinch as the fire took another toll.
 
 
“Mhhhhh… Why don't you just… enjoy it hun? Let the flames take you all the way. I know your type, because I am your type…”
 
 
Aurora gave her best effort to resist that offer, but there wasn't much of a palisade left in her mind. The carrot tickled her love tunnel with an unrelenting pressure that seemed to push at every angle. It was as though someone had taken control of her thoughts away from her.
 
 
“Mnhhh… mhhhhh…” At that moment, Aurora's eyelids drooped, and her brain gave up the ghost. Taang was right… There was nothing left to be done about it. She was meat. She was Taang's meat. Struugling would only prolong the suffering part of it all. If she would simply accept it… she could fully enjoy the more… sensual side.
 
 
“Y-yes… ma'am…” The words came slowly, but genuinely. She wanted Taang to call to mind the danger. She wanted Taang to dominate her bodily like this. She lived for the danger, and now she'd lose to it as well.
 
 
“Good girl.” Taang tossed the apple into the air, hehe catching it again with two fingers. “Now, say ah, my tasty treat~”
 
 
“Ahhhh…” Though her lips trembled, Aurora's surrenderous expression twisted into an open-mouthed smile as she obeyed. Taang responded by swiftly placing the fruit into Aurora's waiting mouth, letting her sweet lips surround about half of it.
 
 
“Now, I only need you to worry about getting grilled evenly, you understand sweetheart?”
 
 
Aurora nodded.
 
 
“That's it. If you ever feel that one side of your delectable body is getting just a little too hot, I want you to shift to the other side.” She started on her way back to the cave wall, before stopping midway. “Oh and… if you want me to adjust that carrot again… don't hesitate to ask~”
 
 
—
 
 
Surprising herself most of all, Aurora dutifully kept to the cannibal's instructions, giving her all to remain as… evenly worked as possible. It was… fulfilling to still have a purpose to keep to, even in all this. Not to mention delightfully sensual to move her body so regularly that way…
 
 
When she determined that the time had come, Taang carefully flipped Aurora's wrists and ankles to their opposite sides one at a time. In such a way as to coax the roasting pony onto her front without risking any escape attempt. Not that the brainwashed girl was much of a risk of that any longer.
 
 
The loud sizzling noise that followed was music to her ears. It was the sound of a fresh font of meat beginning to sear, and with Aurora's obedience, there was no doubt at all that it would be to perfection. Particularly since she was so enamored as to even desperately begin to grind against the grate. Such a lewd display was the final straw to draw Taang over the edge whether she was ready or not, and she arrived with a loud moan which only stirred Aurora to move towards the same… with a little help from Taang, once she was able to stand up…

It was a terrible way to go for an adventurer, and an indignant way to go for a doctor, but in the end, it was a more satisfying end to the expedition than Aurora could have ever imagined. Taang was careful to spread the herbs, which had been the catalyst for all this, evenly across her prey's steaming body, getting them to stick with just a hint more oil.
 
 
Taang doused the flames once she was certain her delicious doctor was fully cooked all the way through, and gave a few extra minutes to let everything cool down. She might have been a pain lover as well, but to burn her tongue and not be able to taste the girl would have been a crime, in her mind. Once she was certain it was safe, she dug in, using the cooled grate as her table.
 
 
It was her tradition to begin with the drumsticks, lifting be the calves and digging into the crisped meat like a corncob. This left the ass, tail, and love entrance to be nibbled on next while she was not yet satiated, but certainly appetized. Lastly, Aurora's breasts made for a positively flavorful, fatty note to end on, soft and bursting with sapor.
 
 
As much of a connoisseur as she was, there was no way Taang could devour an entire pony in one sitting. Aurora's wings, ribs, and neck were saved to be made into jerky that night. After all, there was still one more Pony in the expedition tomorrow. She'd almost certainly appreciate something to snack on… while she waited for the others…
