Nikolai looked to the cat as if they were meeting consensually, his smile bordering on intimate.
"Such a rough thing..." The vampire commented, "But ease your mind...I do not want your fellow felines. You are to be...reprimanded for trespassing...as Miklos is being reprimanded for playing at being in charge." He rubbed his thumb over Ashani's lower lip,"I could make you tell me, Ashani..." He breathed the name, “I can read your thoughts, cat...But...I have no need...do I? You are going to be obedient and take your punishment, aren't you?"
Ashani looked down, already knowing he was defeated, "Yes. I am." He did have some comfort in that the bastard who cut him was getting some sort of punishment. Ashani secretly wished it was very similar to the dismemberment he seemed to enjoy.
Nikolai laughed, a buoyant hissing laugh that made shivers rush over the tiger. "He is being taught the way of the penitent, rest assured." Nikolai stepped around the weretiger and murmured, “Go to your knees."
Obeying quickly, Ashani figured the first order would be the easiest and best not fought against. He dropped gracefully to the floor, barely causing a sound as his knees met the thick carpeting of the floor. The smell in this room was much cleaner, somewhat comforting. Ashani was thankful for that small blessing; his senses didn't like being bombarded with mold and rot.
Nikolai ran one hand over Ashani's nape, feeling the soft tremor the tiger tried to hide. "Oh...that is a tender spot, hmm? Interesting..."Nikolai lightly scratched there, tracing small circles over the erogenous zone. Every cat was prone to that spot, and a Beta was no exception, Nikolai watched the fine hairs rise on Ashani's neck and the vampire laughed a mesmerizing dark sound. He bent his head, drawing his tongue over that spot before moving back.
"Put your hands to the floor, cat...yesss...just like that...lay your cheek to the rug..."
Ashani swallowed hard and complied, placing his face over the soft almost velvet feel of the floor. He closed his eyes, only feeling more vulnerable in this position. He blinked them open trying to use the surroundings this time to distract him instead of his own thoughts. He didn't want to think of pleasure while being tortured.
Nikolai made a considering sound and Ashani felt something stiff and thin trace his buttocks and exposed thighs, "Ah no, my devil-cat...You will not escape me...in fact...You will see this through to the very last and never cease to feel it in your flesh...ever after..." Nikolai moved to stand in front of Ashani a leather crop in his hand. He traced the whippet end over Ashani's lips, "Get it wet, Ashani."
The weretiger shivered, opening his lips just wide enough to let his tongue out. He licked over the leather strap, getting it moist thoroughly. He found he had a surprising streak not to disappoint this Master vampire. His face colored as he flushed with embarrassment, closing his eyes yet again. He felt his beast curling within him, purring against his flesh.
Nikolai drew the crop back and slapped it softly to the tiger's lips, “Good, Ashani..." He stroked the leather down the cat's spine and remarked, “It feels rather like a tongue...until it truly licks you..." Nikolai slapped the crop sharply over Ashani's flanks, but before the tiger drew a breath, welts formed over his back and ass. "Thank me, cat."
Ashani bit into the inside of his cheek before replying breathlessly, "Thank you." The sting of the welts over his skin gave his skin shivers again, causing his flesh to erupt in goosebumps. His body was finely tuned to every sensation.
Nikolai knelt beside the cat and ran his hands over Ashani's sides, nails rousing trembles and purrs depending on the pressure applied. Nikolai smiled, running his fingertips over Ashani's face, “I think for you...a collar...a choke collar, Ashani...bid me place it to you...beg for it..."
Ashani swallowed dryly, choke collars were extremely painful from what he'd seen, which was not much really. This world of submissives and dominants was not what was accepted in the cat's eyes. Ashani spoke softly, "Please... “ He paused, not having been forced into submission since his old pack long gone, "Please collar me... let me wear it."
Nikolai ran the tip of the crop between the cheeks of the tiger's clenched ass, rubbing as he softly responded,"My cat is proud...that is good...it makes drinking your submission all the sweeter..." Nikolai flowed to his feet, walking soundlessly over to his wardrobe, withdrawing a chain with rings on either end, it glittered in the light, “It is not silver," Nikolai said casually, "I know that wounds wolves...as well as my line...so I tend not to keep it. This is steel..." He turned to Ashani, "Crawl over, Ashani...on your belly...I want to see that fine cock of yours fucking my carpet as you come to me."
Ashani felt himself blushing even deeper, but obeyed immediately. He lowered his belly to the floor, feeling the softness against his entire front side. Using only his upper body strength, he pulled himself along the carpet with his clawed fingers. Not tearing the rug, he felt as if he were swimming over the carpet, his arms trembling with the exertion of his muscles. He moved until his face came almost in contact with the vampire’s bare feet, his skin hot in contrast to the cold of the undead.
Nikolai used his foot to tilt the cat's face up to his, "Onto your knees..." As Ashani obeyed, the vampire draped the collar loosely and then attached a matching leash. "There... now we can better understand one another, Ashani..." Nikolai pulled harshly until Ashani under stood to rise to his feet. Nikolai loosened his hold and said softly. "When you belong to me... even your breath is at my mercy, cat..." Nikolai leaned close, licking a path over the tiger's lips before delving his tongue into Ashani's mouth. His free hand gripped the cat's tied back hair, pulling hard as he took what he wanted.
Ashani felt the prickling of the collar around his neck, assaulting his pleasure spot as the vampire kissed him roughly. Ashani felt himself rising at the attention, sucking on the vampire's tongue. He heard himself purring before he realized he was, his eyes gone a dark amber color. He had never felt like he belonged to anyone. Even in his pride of cats, he belonged in the service of the cats, not to the whims of any one being. He couldn't hide his excitement and was upset with himself for enjoying this treatment. It was not befitting for a dominant.
Nikolai's chuckle brushed over the cat's mouth, "You fret so... You have no choice, Ashani... you are not dominant here... I could crush you... I can break you... I will have you... and there is nothing you can do about it..." Nikolai murmured, "Open your mouth for me." When the tiger obeyed, the vampire lapped at his mouth as if taking in a rare dessert. Nikolai pulled Ashani to the clawed foot of the massive bed and wrapped the leash around the post. Nikolai leisurely shrugged off his robe, draping it over the bed before he sat down. He reached for the cat, drawing Ashani between his thighs. Nikolai bent to lick and nuzzle at the cat's throat, avoiding his ears.
The beast in Ashani growled, low and pleased. He instinctively rubbed his face against the vampire, moving against him to seek his approval. Nikolai crooned softly, "Lay your brow to my leg, Ashani... and pray I don't punish you for being so bold..." Ashani obeyed and Nikolai licked over his nape, suckling that skin over his teeth without breaking it, drawing out a shudder from the cat. Ashani dared to look and saw the rigid evidence that the vampire was not immune to this sublime torture. Nikolai was long and thick, obviously aroused as he played with the cat. Nikolai bit into Ashani's neck, right at the base, sinking deep and drawing as his orgasmic gift swept through the blood-kiss.
Ashani felt his entire body grow stiff, fighting himself not to rub against the vampire again. His body wanted to move, find more pleasures. He gasped, almost choking as he felt the gift of the vampire's kiss pass over him. His shaft bouncing against his own belly, seeking any surface to touch. Nikolai drew back, his eyes swirling with crimson and onyx. He wiped the back of one hand to his lips, feeling the kick of shifter blood hit his senses. He wanted to tear into the tiger and mount him, instead, he forced himself to lay back, and regain his composure. After a few minutes of his eyes being closed, the vampire burned a purr, slowly sitting up once more. He looked at the tiger and whispered, "Lift your hands to me."
Ashani raised his hands in front of the vampire, keeping his face pressed against Nikolai's thigh. The metal of the manacles clanked loudly as Ashani waited for his next order. His body desperately wanted release, at the same time thoroughly enjoying the dominance of the beautiful vampire.
Nikolai produced a key and unlocked the manacles, each in turn, letting them clunk to the carpet. He placed the key on the coverlet before pushing Ashani's hands down. Nikolai watched surprise light the tiger's eyes as he drew the cat's face up from his leg. The vampire was not giving much away as he kissed the tiger once more, mauling his mouth with fangs and his tongue. Nikolai heard the ragged note to his voice as he said, "You are hard, cat."
Ashani licked his lips, answering, "Yes." He was afraid to speak without permission.
Nikolai bade him stand with a soft tug on the leash. The tiger rose and Nikolai let his silk pants rub over Ashani's shaft in the passing. Nikolai looked up at him and bit gently into Ashani's belly, drawing another gasp. Ashani's shaft jerked at the sensation and the vampire smiled, "Why? Why are you hard?"
Ashani's eyes widened, unsure of what Nikolai expected him to say. His eyes darted around as if he would find the answer somewhere around the room, "Because... I... am aroused. I enjoy your punishment."
Nikolai rose swiftly and saw the tiger's eyes as he let Ashani's cock thrum between their bodies, touching the cool flat plane of Nikolai's stomach. Nikolai ran his nails lightly over Ashani's ass, looking into the Beta-tiger's face as if reading his every thought. He wasn't, but it was good of the tiger to be so cautious. "You may kneel," Nikolai murmured.
Ashani nodded and lowered to his knees before the vampire, Nikolai's silk pants barely an inch from his face. His breath ran hot over the fabric, Ashani's vision catching each slight movement of the silk. He wasn't sure if he answered correctly or not yet. It certainly didn't seem like torture, but he was still afraid nonetheless. Nikolai stroked the cat's cheek, "Do you want to please me?"
