Triggers and Warnings
Coercion, manipulation, mild gaslighting, incest, M/s dynamics, forced cooperation, bruising and beatings, nanites, medical implants, mentions of rape.
Mild spoilers;
Alex and Victoria consider themselves to be fundamentally good people, however they engage in flagrant manipulative and controlling behaviour. While Nora does eventually enjoy the situation, they should absolutely not be taken as role models and much of what they do in this story is abhorrently morally corrupt. This is not a story about good boundaries or consent, no matter how Alex or Victoria might try to frame it to themselves.
Authors note:
Chapter eight is a return to my usual chapter length. I'm sorry for the length variance, I'm not sure I have always cut the story in quite the right places. The chapters are going to start coming slower now. I have seventeen written so far but from here out they are in greater need of refinement. As always, if you spot any continuity errors or formatting / grammar mistakes please let me know!
## Chapter Eight
As expected neither of them paid the slightest attention to the television. It took Nora a few minutes to get her bearings, knelt to attention on the floor in front of Alex while Victoria seemingly slept. She wasn't sure if she disliked the sadism, or just wasn't used to seeing it. She didn't know how process the sudden changes over the last three days. If nothing else it was a world view shift surrounding what she thought she knew of her cousin.
She had a few sips of her drink, letting the sweet of Coke and the bite of vodka calm her before asking, "Master, why am I still kneeling? Please can I stop?"
Alex looked at her for a long moment, taking another sip from his ale, "Why do you want to stop?"
"I never intended to be involved this evening Master. I just came down to watch..."
"Have you had fun?"
"Kind of Master. Please can I stop calling you Master too?"
He let that sit while he took another mouthful of his drink, he wanted the extra time to think. He looked at her, really looked at her for a moment.
"Victoria thinks you're a sub." He paused for a second, "You can stop kneeling if you've not gotten wet during this evenings play time."
"Fuuuccckkk. That is so manipulative." she said with breathy disbelief.
Alex smiled a wolfish grin from the sofa around the bottle that he was just putting to his lips. He got his face under control and took a sip before saying, "Does that make the game better or worse?"
"It makes you a prick Master."
"And yet, you're still knelt." He noted. She still had her hands in the small of her back too, returned there whenever she wasn't actively taking a swig of her drink.
Nora didn't say anything, but she had a mixed look of embarrassment and indignation on her face. She broke pose and took a mouthful of her own drink. Putting it back down on the floor next to her and returning her arms behind her and rolling her shoulders back again.
"What
have
you enjoyed this evening? What's been getting you going?" Alex asked. "Take your time, try to answer honestly."
"Not the beating." She said after a second.
Alex nodded but remained quiet, seeming instead to start paying attention to the TV. He didn't want her to feel like he was just waiting for her answer.
She spent a few minutes aimlessly thinking. Mostly formless thoughts, "This whole evening has been humiliating Master. The kneeling, the calling you Master, being called out on getting wet, making me stay kneeling because of it. You even made kneeling here now my fault. I know what you're both up to Master. You manipulated this whole evening."
Alex had to think about this for a moment. "You like being humiliated and controlled." It wasn't a question.
"I don't!" She said.
"Ok. 'Like', is a broad word to describe a complex set of feelings here. But it get's you going. I'd note, you are even calling me Master with greater frequency than Victoria would."
Nora didn't say anything, but she nodded with her eyes on the floor; red faced... again.
"If I told you to touch yourself, right here, now...?" He left the sentence hanging. Her eyes went wide, her face flushing right down her neck and across her chest.
She shook her head. "Please don't Master! We're still cousins!"
"That hasn't stopped you up to now. You've been flaunting yourself around the house more and more."
Victoria didn't move, or open her eyes, but she said "I'd love to watch you touch yourself." She was quietly enjoying this conversation from her pain induced stupor.
"No... I think I should go to bed!" Nora said, suddenly desperate to escape. The thought of them making her get herself off in front of them setting off an instinctual need to flee.
Alex enjoyed taking his time responding to that. A slow smile crept onto his face, making Nora all the more worried.
"Ask nicely." He said.
Nora felt the compulsion of an order in the words and said, "Please can I go to bed Master?"
