"How the fuck did he do that???"
"...Get good"
"Shut Uuuup!" Violet shoved her husband, Chris, before quickly refocusing on the screen. They both gamed, but she tended to play war games and titles that required high thought, lower reaction times. The Civilization series? She adored it and could easily trounce him. XCOM 2? Loved. Call of Duty... was not her forte. Still, dozens of hours and (mostly) encouraging advice and support later, she could hold her own well enough in teams with him. Didn't stop there being moments of high frustration on her part, clearly to his amusement.
The round ended. She sighed, noting her position on the leaderboards for the lobby and looked over at Chris. "Still don't know how he landed that shot. Did you SEE the killcam on it?". The chuckle that came as a response both riled her up and made her smile faintly. There was a lot she liked about her partner. From his witty moments to the way he laughed to his empathy in hard times... his character was excellent. Her liking his body type was a bonus.
After considering a second, Chris met her gaze and smirked. "Yeah, I saw it... you weren't in proper cover. One hundred percent on you". He stretched, looking back to the TV as Violet growled in frustration. Not in cover, her ass: she had a wall between her and the guy! Granted, thinner walls could sometimes be shot through if the other player knew what they were doing. But still, it felt like bullshit. Not to mention it was a single shot kill. She opened her mouth to retort only for him to continue "noob mistake, really".
"Sorry, wanna run that by me again?" Soft hazel eyes met her piercingly green ones as he smirked and doubled down. "I think you heard me fine. You were near a window, they probably saw you. Any sniper worth their salt would have gotten you" Violet's eyes narrowed as he chuckled again. She thought about arguing it... but refocused on the screen and picking a map. He wanted to tease her? Fine enough. He'd see where that got him in a bit here...
Another map, another long match with increasingly frustrating moments. It might have been bleedover irk from the last round, but it felt like Violet's play was sloppier across the board or everyone else sharpened up on her. One of her deaths in the game had Chris chuckling again, earning him a sharp glare with a hint of warning in it. The match was closer too, kills about equal through the majority of it. Both her and her spouse were subtly tensing as it went. Five kills remaining. Four, then two-
"Motherfucker!" The round ended and the final killcam came up. That same sniper from the last round. And with Violet as the last kill. As it played it in slow motion Chris laughed, Violet's groan under it. He glanced at her, his smile taking on that same smirk that got on her nerves so well in moments like this. "Really had to give him the win, huh?" She didn't answer verbally: her eyes said enough to him. After a second he broke eye contact, still smirking though as he hit the home button on his controller. "Good a stopping point as any, we should probably think about heading to bed soon". Violet didn't respond immediately, gears turning as he stood up. As he started walking though, she said a single word.
"DROP." She smiled coldly as she said it, tone laced with a stern authority. Her partner froze, hesitating a moment. It was enjoyable watching, knowing he was thinking pretty rapidly at this point over the past half hour and the fact that she just invoked a command phrase on him. Slowly, he sat on his knees and looked down. His hands settled in his lap with a subtle tension to them. She let him sit for a few seconds, listening to the way his breathing had subtly changed. Finally, Violet got up and walked slowly over to him.
"You really needed to be a little shit, didn't you? Pushing my buttons, agitating me..." A hand went under his chin, Violet lifting his head and looking into his now much meeker expression. For all of Chris' confidence and nudging, when it came to certain aspects of the relationship she was firmly in charge. This was as good an opportunity to remind him that as any. Hell, he likely wanted this. Her voice carried a new thing mixed into it now, a quiet seduction as she continued "That comment of yours wasn't necessary, surely... wouldn't you agree?"
"...Well, to be fair-"
Her hand came faster than maybe he expected. A firm slap across his cheek, her having let go of his head long enough to make sure it landed well. As he winced she grabbed his chin again more forcefully. If there was doubt of him wanting it before, it was gone. Their eyes locked. "Try again baby. It wasn't necessary for you to be doing that. Agreed?" He nodded slightly, eyes averting from hers. And just like that, the rebellion was gone. She patted his other cheek lovingly as she remarked "Was it so hard to agree? We both know I'm right, don't we honey?" Another nod, satisfying her for the moment. With a chuckle her foot gently found his groin. He didn't make a noise, but his breathing came faster as she rubbed for a moment.
"Up." There wasn't hesitation this time, he just got up quickly. The timid look that he shot her thrilled as she turned away. A hand went up, making a small hooking gesture as she walked. "Come." Violet didn't bother looking back, she knew he'd follow. And he did, judging from the footsteps. He likely immediately knew where they were going. Their house had a lovely basement space with a bathroom attached. They both had worked on over the course of months to turn into the perfect dungeon. She could keep him in for days if she wanted. And had before.
Downstairs, reaching another door at the base of the stairwell and opening it up. A flick of a lightswitch saw the room revealed. To the left, a wall with various whips hanging neatly from hooks on it. Next to those were a few different outfits she sometimes opted to wear. Below them all was a table with several drawers containing various ways to inflict pleasure or pain as she wished. So many times she had stood at that table, Chris restrained in another part of the room watching helplessly as she handled various tools contemplatively. Only for her to turn, implement selected, smiling at his either begrudging or worried expression depending on what she held.
Directly across from the door was a large bed. It had several mounting points for restraints well hidden on the edges but presented a plush mattress and pillows, covered with black and dark red sheets. Course, the large bed posts acted as good anchors themselves. Next to the bed on one side was a cage. Large enough for someone to fit into easily and have room to turn around in, small enough that such required effort. A pet bed and blanket filled it, matching the colors of the bed. The other side of the bed though had something she especially liked: a sturdy X rack. One he had been set up in almost as often as on the bed.
And the third wall. There, several furnishings presented themselves to the pair. A modestly padded wooden horse with a few eyebolts in it for mounting restraints. Next to it, a cushioned bench, straps open and waiting. There was also a chair that took the straps of the bench and added about ten extra to the fray. And finally, a coat-rack-esq piece that had bundles of ropes, cuffs, gags, and blindfolds hung on it. That one had wheels to let her move it around easily and add to his helplessness. The others, she had him move if she needed them.
"Strip down. Center of the room, hands in front." Violet didn't look at him while speaking. Her authority was absolute, unwavering. As she grabbed the restraint rack and looked through cuff options, finally selecting a black set that padlocked shut. She turned and grinned at the beautiful sight that was Chris undressed, distinctly erect, and still. With light steps she came over, kissing his neck as she slipped the cuffs around his wrists. His body jolted slightly at them locking, making her purr and nibble at him. His breath caught at it. She loved the effect she had on him in moments like this...
Violet tapped the cuffs, encouraging him to raise his arms up. And now came a detail that wasn't as noticeable on walk in. The center of the room had a pulley system that could be raised and lowered as she desired. The mechanism for it sat next to the door. She turned it on, watching a sturdy carabiner lower. Four steps back to Chris, hooking it through his cuffs before taking back those steps and raising it a bit. Now, his arms were pulled up. Not so high that he had to be on tiptoes, but enough that his arms were up fully straight and perhaps a bit uncomfortable. Pleased with the setup, she came back over slowly behind him and let her nails trace down his sides. He shivered, causing her to chuckle and kiss his shoulder blade.
"Now, darling..." She slid around him, caressing as she went before plucking a more serious panel gag from the rack. It had a large mouth piece designed to properly muffle, though some noise got through of course. Chris looked at it with faint concern as she continued "You wanna say anything before I get started here?" She grinned as he hesitated, then opened his mouth "V-iolet, listen... I wasn't meaning to go too far, I'm so-"
