I awoke the next morning to feel a soreness all over my body. I glanced at Sheo to find him sound asleep while keeping me close to him. I smiled to myself and snuggled into his chest.

I listened to the sound of his heartbeat, a steady beat. It was soothing, very much like his presence. That's something I never thought I'd say, the presence of the Madgod was soothing. At least, it's soothing to me.

I was starting to fall asleep again when it struck me, it's fucking Monday! I glanced at the clock only to see it was 4 in the morning. I still had two hours to go, so may as well make the most of it. Before going back to sleep, I made sure I had my alarms set.

Then I snuggled back into the warmth and safety of the arms of the Madgod.

In the dream world

I wandered around a world that seemed to change every few seconds, the scenery becoming more and more horrifying. There was no way this was the Shivering Isles, plus Sheo can't enter dreams and as far as I know he can't manipulate dreams. The only Daedra capable of manipulating dreams was Vaermina, the Daedric Prince of Dreams and Nightmares.

Plus the world seemed to fit the description of her realm, Quagmire. A realm of ever changing nightmares. But why was I here? People don't just enter a realm of Oblivion without the knowledge of the particular Prince ruling over said realm knowing about it.

It's probably still better than Coldharbour or the Deadlands. Probably. "Greetings, mortal." A female voice said from behind me. I turned around only to be met with a giant spider. I backed away quickly, shaking in pure terror.

"S- Sheo, h- help.. Please help me.." I whimpered. I couldn't think straight, I felt my heart start to pound in my chest, I started to feel lightheaded as adrenalin kicked in. Should've seen this coming, go to a realm of nightmares, of course the ruler of the realm is going to show up as something you're terrified of.

"The Madgod cannot reach you here. You're alone, defenseless, and at my mercy." The spider said. "Who.. Who are you?" I asked shakily. "I am Vaermina, the Mistress of Dreams." So I was right, this is Quagmire.

"Why am I here?" The spider growled "You are here because a Daedric Prince cannot stoop so low as to gain feelings for a pathetic mortal." Okay, that was uncalled for. "I may be a pathetic mortal, but I at least admit it."

"Where were you going with that statement?" "I honestly don't know." Story of my life right there. "Anyway, you will be going to the realm of each Prince and they will present you with a challenge. Survive the challenge, and you will be permitted to move on to the next task. This will be done in your dreams only." Vaermina explained.

So I'm going to Coldharbour and the Deadlands. Fuck fucking fucker fuckity fuck fuck. Alright, just breathe. I can do this, hopefully. "What do I have to do here?" I asked.

Vaermina smirked "For this challenge you will attempt to escape your nightmares. I will raise the worst nightmares from your life and you will relive them. Only you can die during the dream, and if you do then your soul will remain in the realm you die in for eternity."

So I could spend eternity in Coldharbour or the Deadlands?! FUCKING DAMMIT!!

The scenery around me changed and I found myself in a hospital. I explored around, and then there was a horrid smell. I followed the smell to see what it was only to find it was a bunny with its intestines strewn about.

I gulped and did my best to keep from throwing up. I can't afford to give whatever did that an idea of where I am. I glanced around a corner only to find a shadowy figure with some sort of hatchet. It turned around, raised the hatchet, and ran at me.

Adrenaline kicked in and I ran as fast as I possibly could to escape. I saw a parking lot so I ran towards it, maybe I could lose this thing there. Or maybe I could get some help escaping.

I ran around looking for some way of escaping. No one was there, there was no one who could help me. I was alone, completely alone. The figure reached out to grab me, but just before it could grab me I woke up from my alarm.

I shot up and looked around in a panic, my heart was still pounding in my chest, I was in a cold sweat. "Love, what's wrong?" Sheo asked worriedly. I hugged him tightly, I was terrified of that thing possibly coming out of nowhere to finish me off.

Sheo gently rubbed my back which helped to calm me down a little. "What happened, kitten?" He asked softly. "I- I was in Quagmire and- and Vaermina said a Daedric Prince shouldn't love a mortal so the Princes are going to make me do a challenge and if I die I'm stuck in their realm forever!" I buried my face into his bare chest and sobbed.

I hated Sheogorath seeing this weakness from me, I was terrified he'd see the fear as weakness then he'd leave me. Then what would I do? Sheo gently tilted my head upwards so I met his gaze "Kitten, I'm not going to let anything happen to you. There's a way of ensuring you come to the Isles with me when you do die. But I need you to trust me."

I nodded "I trust you, Sheo. I trust you with my life." Probably not the best of ideas, but I did trust him. He nodded in approval "Good. What I'm going to perform is called an Oath Bond. You bind your soul to me by pledging yourself to me for eternity. By doing that none of the other Princes can take you from me. Even if you contract vampirism or lycanthropy."

That was comforting that he offered to do something like that, for my sake. It showed he cares about me, and I appreciate it. "Alright, I'm going to walk you through the steps of the ritual. But trust is extremely important to the ritual, the more trust between the two participants then the stronger the Bond becomes."

He gently held my hands "Ready?" I nodded.

Time skip to after the ritual (I would put in the part about the ritual but there's nothing to say how they are performed. The only reference available is in the book "Spirit of the Daedra")

"There, all done. Now for one last part.." Sheo kissed me passionately, I returned the kiss with as much fervor as I could. I felt a connection of some kind to him grow even stronger. He slowly pulled away "The bond would be stronger if we were married, or to use the primitive term; mated. Though after last night and with what I have planned for you later, you're mine. With or without the ceremony. To use the primitive method of simply being fucked by your partner and that was mating, then we're mated."

SMUT SCENE, DON'T LIKE THEN DON'T READ

I looked down shyly, he then pulled me towards him and set me on top of him so I was straddling him. "This is to strengthen the Bond, to help you to feel better, and for the pleasure of it." He announced.

I moaned as he slid his length back into me. "Now you sit there and be beautiful, and I'll do the work." He purred.

He quickly flipped us over so he was on top of me, he then roughly gripped my hips and rammed himself into me repeatedly. I yelped when he hit a spot "Aww, is that your special spot~?" He purred seductively.

He chuckled darkly and rammed his cock into that spot as hard and as fast as he could "Mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, MINE!" He growled with each thrust. From how rough his grip was on my hips I was certain I'd have bruises from him. I doubt he would mind too much so long as they didn't hurt.

He suddenly let go of my hips, instead he grabbed my legs and wrapped them around his waist. "Hold on to me." I held on to him as he said. He slammed my back against the wall and kept my legs wrapped around his waist as he slammed into my spot as hard as he could without hurting me.

"I'm getting close, kitten~" He breathed in my ear. "M- me ah~! T- too, ah~!" He smirked "You first, kitten~" He seductively growled. After a few thrusts I couldn't hold myself back anymore and I released. Sheo kept slamming into me, then he roughly bit my neck.

He licked up the blood he drew, he then bit down on my collar bone and released his hot seed in me. "I love you." He said before giving me a sweet and tender kiss.

"I love you too." I mumbled into the kiss. He chuckled "Let's get you ready for school." After the rough session we just had, I didn't particularly want to go to school. In all honesty I'd rather stay home and cuddle with Sheo all day.

He gently set me down, but then my legs started to wobble. Just before they gave out he picked me up bridal style "Seems I'll be carrying you around, kitten." Fine by me, it's sort of like cuddling with him. He helped me to get ready. When the bus showed up he insisted on carrying me out to the bus.

Then when we got to school he insisted on carrying me to class, and if anyone asked about the bitemarks on my neck; he would grin viciously and say something along the lines of he was showing off what was his and his alone. All in all, in was a good day. Sheo only threated to strangle a few people with their own intestines.

Other than that, it was uneventful day.
