Another day
He woke early, when it was still dark. 5.00, proclaimed the glowing red glyphs on the alarm clock. He stretched and smiled, his eyes catching sight of his lover's discarded clothes on the floor, reminding him of their last night's adventures. He turned, and looked at the girl, lying sleeping softly next to him, scarlet locks falling in a curve around her ear and down over her shoulder. An acquisitive grin stole around his mouth and with his left hand, he felt around on the floor. Ahh. That was it. Got it. He turned the clock onto its face.
Beep, said the toy before it hurt her, loud enough to make his smirk stretch even further across his face, quiet enough not to disturb her slumber. Then, as the current entered her, she shook, and moaned loudly with pain. 'Whawadat?' she mumbled, still asleep, but seemed to take it as part of her dream, and curled around again, drifting back into her rest-state.
Beep, said the little toy again, and this time, she woke properly. 'What the fuck was that?' she snapped as she rose into consciousness. He slapped her.
'Time to get up, bitch.' He grabbed her by the collar she wore, and pulled her into an upright position.
'What the fuck? What fucking time is it, anyway?'
'3am. And I have plans for you. Get the fuck out of bed.' He looked her straight in the eyes, his blue-gray gaze meeting hers. When he felt sure that he had won, he let a slow smile creep up the sides of his face, a slight movement on his cheeks and lips, but a shining light from his eyes. She looked at him, and nodded.
He pulled the covers from her as she rose.
'Get on the floor' he said, not turning, busy looking for something. He found it, and leaning down, attached her lead to the collar she still wore from the night before.
She crawled behind him, dragging on her lead. When she struggled enough to rile him, he would stop and turn and kick her gently. He took her to the bathroom.
With a handful of cable ties he attached her to the shower pole, then emptied himself on her. She didn't drink it, but he didn't care. She would likely get sick if she drank his piss first thing in the morning. He didn't want her to get sick.
When he was done, he turned the shower on, just a dribble really, lukewarm water trickling onto her head.
'Right, cunt. I'm going back to bed.'
She watched him leave, heard him lock the door, hoped he had gone before she started to cry.
3am? And he was going back to bed? But he might be in bed for hours, and she was going to get so cold. She shivered, the thought of hours under the drizzling showerhead making her chill in anticipation, and the goosebumps rose on her legs and arms.
He made sure that the central heating was on to keep her warm before heading back to his bedroom. He flicked on the monitor and opened the DVD software. Watched naked girls suck cock for an hour and a half, smoking cigarettes and drinking last night's left over beer. She never finished her beer, he thought with a smile. Always some left in the morning for me. He took another greedy slurp from the bottle; it tasted sweeter now it was hers.
On her own, in the shower cubicle, she stopped sobbing after a bit, she was too tired for all this. They had still been fucking at 1 am, for Christ's sake. So in the end she lay quiet against the tiles, the endless water falling on her thighs as she leaned away into the corner. That was how she was when he found her. He smiled at her, and she smiled wanly back at him. He turned up the heat, and the water was soon running warm.
'Get yourself warmed up' he told her as he cut her ties, then stepped back. She closed the shower door and stood under the refreshing hot water, soaped herself, washed her hair. He pulled hard on his cock as he watched her. Sometimes it seemed as though she couldn't see him, she was so used to his presence. He had taken her privacy, made it his. And yet, so he supposed, she had done the same to him. He no longer felt her presence as a person; it seemed to him that he was perfectly alone, even when she was near. He knew when it had happened, when he'd gotten drunk on beer and listened to all the crappy cd's from his teenage years, then, as he finally fell asleep, listened to her masturbating in the tiny space where she slept under his bed. The thought of it nearly made him come, and he was jerked sharply back into the present.
She was nearly done, and he reached for the warm towel from the radiator, wrapped it around her as she stepped out of the shower cubicle.
'Thank you,' she whispered, and kissed him.
She followed him back to the bedroom. He let her smoke a cigarette and relax a little before he hit her again. He told her to get under the bed, and she did.
She started masturbating as soon as she was in her lair beneath him. He listened to her, his cock hard, then fell asleep.
She must have dozed for a bit, she supposed, because when he got up, he woke her, but she did not feel like she had slept. It was 11.30am now, the clock on the table told her, so he had slept for 4 hours. She felt like shit.
'I'd like you to wear your nipple bells,' he said in a faraway voice as he lay back on the heap of pillows, and she knelt on the floor, head turned meekly down. 'And stockings.'
They kissed a little while they smoked in the morning daze; he grabbed pinches of skin, twisted until he could see it in her eyes. She stroked him and licked him, giggled and sighed, moaned when he hurt her. He had meant to be impossibly cruel all day, that had been the plan, but she just seemed to slip through his fingers somehow. One minute he was beating her and she was crying; flinching when he moved his hands β and the next, she was in bed next to him giving him the gentlest hand-job. He looked at the stubby end of the cigarette that he held between his fingers, and then looked at the soft flesh of her arm, coiled around his belly.
A certain calm overtook him, above the sea of muffled thoughts (oh yeah, I'll burn you, you little cunt, mmm having a fun slut is nice, I hope she likes it, I hope I don't fuck it up, human ashtray, fuck yeah, burn bitch).
He felt the limb draped across him jerk as the red tip of the joint connected with her skin; he had burned her. The cherry was still glowing. He grabbed her arm, pulled it tight and flat against his stomach. Pushed the stub into her, hard. Did he imagine the slight sizzle of burning woman?
She was looking up at him, an expression somewhere between joy and resignation. As though to say 'You cannot hurt me, you have never hurt me. I think I'd quite like you to, but I feel too strong. When you burn me, it doesn't hurt.'
He hit her. Slapped her as he loved to do, right full across her cheek. It left no mark, of course. It never did. He listened to the short moan β he knew that he sometimes did hurt her.
'Come on, cunt. You can't lie about in bed all day.'
She dressed as he wanted, of course.
He walked in front of her, pleased by the tinkle of her nipple bells. Even if he could not see her, he could hear her. Every movement belied by the jingle-jangle of tiny bells. Yes, he thought to himself and smiled, he had taken her privacy.
