Chapter 1: "In Chains"
Nick opened his eyes. The ceiling of an unnaturally bright room slowly came into view. His legs dangled in the air in front of him, suspended by what looked to be chains. How odd. He furrowed his brow; had Judy been experimenting with bondage while he was sleeping? It was a thought that made his dick twitch in excitement, but he didn't have the stomach to think about that right now. Where was he?
He looked around and his heart dropped. Something was terribly wrong.
He was staring at a stone wall, the kind of thing you might see in a medieval dungeon. Something out of

At least that last detail meant they probably wouldn't be doing away with him afterwards, but that was little consolation when they might subject him to tortures worse than he could imagine before finally allowing him to leave. Anxiety washed over him, and Nick Wilde was forced to admit something to himself. The usually cool-headed fox was now shaking in fear. He was fucking
