Author's note: I'm going to be honest. This one had some of my favorite characters. And, as the title suggests, it's a sadist and masochist story. It's also a romance. I know those things aren't everyone's thing, but if it is your thing, I hope you have as much fun as I did :D
Ezra
Devi West was a fucking animal. I didn't even care that I was apparently sleeping in fucking cuffs that night. Granted, that was one hell of a first, but so were a lot of things that night. It had been a downward spiral from the moment she first purred the word "daddy". Apparently that whiskey had been a magic elixir to her inner whore. And the way she shouted my name at the end? Christ.
I turned my head slightly and fell asleep with the scent of her strawberry shampoo making me smile. I would have to buy her different brands though and fix some of her ends. A sense of prideful possession had me in its grip and there were not so good thoughts running through me, sickening thoughts like how my slave would be neat and well kept since it reflected on me. This was not how people were supposed to think of each other.
And I didn't fucking care anymore. Especially when she nestled so comfortably against my side. I had hard lines and jagged edges in my figure and she was soft, with delectable curves and skin like silk. On the surface she didn't have a rough edge to her. But beneath? The thought of all that harsh deviancy made me smile even when I was halfway asleep. Even chained to my bed I felt relaxed with her by my side and that was a fucking novelty. I didn't feel safe with anyone for the most part but the way she looked at me was with pure worship in her eyes. She couldn't hurt me. It had taken alcohol just to get her to so much as sensually bite me or say my name. I slept incredibly peacefully for a Dom who was in bondage.
And I didn't regret it because I got to see the most adorable thing I'd ever seen in my life when I woke up. It was her finally stirring that brought me to reality again. I felt her jostle the bed beside me, felt her stretch along my side where she slept so peacefully and happily. I opened my eyes and watched her smile while she was still half asleep, watched her delicately scratch my chest in a way reminiscent of a lazy cat, sated after its kill.
And then she froze and I couldn't stop the slow grin on my face. Because she looked up at me and blinked and I got the pleasure of watching every memory as it crossed her face and eyes with first disbelief and then acceptance, followed quickly by dawning horror. She shot up and opened her mouth and finally whispered, "Are you going to kill me?"
I laughed and it came out genuinely warm and affectionate. Ah, what had she done to me? I had become softer. Of course, I had become a lot harder in some ways too. The way my mind assessed her and decided my Toy's hair needed some more life and attention testified a lot to that. "Not hardly. I will pay more attention to my little plaything in the future though. This was certainly a learning experience." I looked up at my wrists. "Do you mind, sweetheart?"
"No! Of course not, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry. Oh my god, I'm sorry." She worked at the cuffs, trembling in a personal shock, which was understandable really. I had not set the precedent of being a light Dom.
"Easy. Take deep breaths. I'm not even going to punish you for it. There's a few consequences but it's alright." I helped her when my right hand was free.
"But I touched you!" She squeaked it like it was a mortal sin.
I couldn't keep from laughing lightly, couldn't keep from teasing her just a little. "Oh, was that where the line was? We've fucked like rabbits after hard whip sessions, but touching me last night was a hard no. And you touch me all the time, little one."
"But it was different! I don't know but it was wrong!" She looked at me with such distress in her eyes that I rubbed my wrists and studied her.
"Ah, because I'm so godlike and you were too bold?"
She blushed furiously but looked down and I knew that was why. I knew it easily. Ah, well, it had been fun to let her play while it lasted. I stood and took back her leash gladly, though. Well, her metaphorical leash. Literally, I took her with a hand in her hair and made her look at me, but I was gentle about it too. And that was... new. Somewhere along the line she had satisfied a deep part of me and I had been trying to give us some space and allow us to talk about moving forward, but now it didn't feel like that.
It felt like something a little worse than that actually. If we were talking in terms of a normal relationship and I had been trying to talk about being engaged to her before? It now felt like we were actually engaged and my plans of talking had been blown to bits in my face. I stroked her cheek lovingly, adoring her for what she let me do. "Well, perhaps you should practice to get used to worshiping me like you like to imagine. Rub my sides, sweetheart."
She stared up at me, wide eyed, and then stroked her hands obediently up my sides, soothing the hardness there. "It's different when I have permission. You d-didn't say last night."
She worked her fingers so softly for her massage, sending gentle pleasure through my torso. "Ah, a submissive who took initiative and got insecure about it. I'm rather certain that this is a problem other people have heard before. Want to know a secret?"
I looked down at her and she nodded fearfully, smoothing her palms around my back. I smiled approvingly. "I haven't been so out of control in a long while. It was rather enjoyable for a novelty fuck, but we'll start the rules again now to make both of us feel better. You can have that one for free but the next one earns you punishment and you don't want to know what that feels like under me."
She shook in terror and her hands froze where she held me, so that I looked down and smiled with dominant adrenaline, a power trip racing through my blood stream. I felt like a mutt looking down on the prey it had been trained to hunt and run. And there was the animal that was addicted to hurting her, singing in my blood, making me aroused as all hell while she widened her eyes in innocent fear and taunted me...
When she cringed from me, I bared my teeth. "Stop flirting, you little slut. Didn't you get enough cock last night or no?"
She moaned and I thrilled to the way she so easily lost control, the way she so easily gave herself over. "I don't think I can stop that, Master."
I laughed. "You're just naturally a little fucking flirt like that? That's not good news for you, lovely." But I smiled at her. After the night before, any moral questions or concerns I had had been discarded. She was mine, all mine, and I would punish her as much as I had to for her rebellions, discipline her with as harsh of a routine as I needed to make her bow at my side. There was a security in being free of the conscience that came with moral behavior. "I'll take you up on it often."
"I'm scared," she finally burst out. "I mean I've always been scared of things like the needles and all that but things are different now, aren't they? What are you going to do to me? I-"
I covered her mouth and a tear or two escaped the corner of her eyes, making me hard, but I smiled and it was gentle. "I'm going to do whatever I have to, lovely. You'll love every second of it, but you can come to my side willingly from here on out or, if you're dying for some thrill, I'll break you until you're a pleading, pathetically shaking and broken Toy in my dungeon."
The tears broke wide and I took away my hand for her to answer. "You know. You already know! And you're going to make me say it anyway?" I grinned and she hid her face in my torso, holding me in her humiliation. She mumbled and I caught some of the words, already knowing what they were.
But I was cruel too and grasped her hair to hold her in pain. "I can't fucking hear you like that. Be clear about how much of my fucktoy you are."
She hesitated and then forced it out. "I hate you! I'm willing and I love you, Master, but I want you to break me anyway until I feel hopeless for weeks, for fucking months. Please! Please..." Her voice was wounded and I stroked her hair soothingly, understanding. My poor little masochist. Such a twisted plight to have sometimes, to be so afraid but to crave to feel more fear. She hesitated and then asked quietly, "Has anyone ever asking you for that?"
