86. Let's Play

"They say loneliness is the prelude of love and if that's the case, it makes me wonder why you've chosen to intentionally lie to yourself of your past Elric, an act that has made you live that lie as your truth.

To share a secret together such as the things you shared with me during your imprint is a special privilege...kind of an intimate connection between two people who love each other and since I already know how you feel, I'll walk this path with you- damn you've made sure I can sense you all the time without uttering a single word. Therefore, since we are going to be united legally as you and your mother keep on insisting, what is the point of pretending anymore? I'm not going to fight you this time. I'll be your lover as you want me to be. I'll be loyal to you and I expect the same of you..."

"You must be feeling awful to do this yet you still have the energy to run your mouth. Stop quibbling with yourself and do as you promised. You tied me up real good I can hardly escape even if I wanted to." Elric laughed then rested his chest against the humid slippery bathroom wall. "Don't worry. Not even the servants will come here if I shout for help so do your worst, if you can manage to break me that is."

"Still taking this as a joke..."

"That's because you haven't the heart to do this Niel. You're soft. You fuck well I'll give you that, but you have zero knowledge of being a dominant. You should have just let me do it instead. I could teach you a lot of stuff. You couldn't even tie me up facing you that you had to hide my face from your view..."

"Shut up."

"...And what will you do if I don't? This is truly laughable even for..." Suddenly, Elric stiffened in an instant and began to tremble.

"I was planning on going easy on you but you keep provoking me." Walking towards Elric, Niel rested his chest on his back, pinning him further as he watched him tremble after perceiving his threatening scent. It was amazing that a small amount of it was enough to shut him up.

Glancing up at where he'd tied both of Elric's hands up, he wondered if the fitted steel towel holder could hold Elric's weight in case he squirmed around the way he was now. Elric had assured it was strong enough, bragging about the renowned architects that had designed his parent's home.

"Don't worry. If it breaks, sue me for lying." Elric had jocked while beign tied up.

"I wonder how you'll be able to endure it if I let out more of it..." Niel sneered when he noticed Elric begin to break a sweat. He knew he was trying to fight it but he'd given him prior instructions. To only use his scent when he allowed him to. Still, even if he were to do so, Elric's scent was much weaker than his. Niel had confirmed this several times but hadn't made his fated aware of it just yet.

"Are you ready surrenderign early after all that talk?" Niel spoke softly at Eric's ear and watched it redden instantly.

"Is...that...all you got....Zaddy... Ugh!" Elric squinted his eyes in pain, feeling Niel's scent getting stronger and stronger. He began gasping for air, as if he were chocking.

"You're very sturbbon and today, I'll teach you a lesson you will never forget."

Walking back to a medium sized bag he'd brought with him into the spacious enormous bathroom, Niel pulled out a black leather whip he'd earlier on purchased among other things. He'd never thought he'd have to visit a sex toy shop to get these things just so as to please his lover but since he'd had spare change he'd saved for a new cellphone, he figured he'd return the favor and pay back for the phone Elric had bought him.

Diminishing his scent gradually, he watched Elric's breathing slowly return to normal.

"My instructions to you are simple. I will give you five strokes. You've bragged of your past relationships inspite of us being fated five times and if I'm to add the number of times you've praised yourself of how good you are to your lovers, or the number of times I've had it from other people, then I'd probably end up killing you so let's settle for five. Nod if you understand."

Chuckling, Elric replied. "Yes Zaddy."

Releasing more of his threatening scent, Niel said. "I said nod, not speak. You should know who your master is."

"Ok...ey.." Elric, spoke in a whisper, feeling his body slowly become overpowered by the ferrocious scent yet still tempted to dare Niel further and suddenly, he felt a lash of whip land painfully across his back, sending him to arch and stiffen himself in pain.

"I won't count that since you're simply misbehaving. So, will you cooperate or not? Nod if you understand."

His hands tied up above him, Elric wanted to reach for his back and rub the throbbing pain to somehow spread it but couldn't. He was startled and the fact that Niel's threatening scent was pinching at his entire body made it even more unbearable. He wanted to look back at Niel, wondering to himself if he was the only one naked and as he slowly turned his head, he was quickly slammed on the wall by Elric's hand, pinning him down as he gasped for air.

"You seem to think this is a game. I'll gladly whip you another if you like it that much." Letting Elric go, Niel said again. "Nod if you understand."

Upon Elric's obedient reply, Niel continued his elaboration. "Five whips, each timed apart so the pain is given time to spread across every part of your body. With every whip, you must moan as if you're about to cum. If I'm not satisfied with your performance, I will continue to cain you until you give me what I want- And since I already know how you sound during sex, there is no way cheating yourself out of this." Taking two steps back, he added. "Pick a safe word before we proceed further and make it fast."

"I...wont...need one....since you're...going to end this....soon..."Elric responded, still being chocked by his fated's scent, which made Niel chuckle at his resilience.

"Are you sure?" Niel asked as he raised his hand up and landed the whip forcefully onto Elric's back, who groaned from the excruciating pain.

"You were supposed to moan, and if I perceive any one your scents, you bring yourself more purnishment..."

"Fuck!" Elric exclaimed, batlling between twisting and turning in pain or leaning on the wall for support. Only his legs were free and even so, he couldn't do much with them. He hated that he couldn't see Niel the most of all this experience. Faced with the wall, he didn't have much to look at. Niel had asked him to take all his clothes off and face the wall which he'd obiedently done and afterwards, he'd been quiet after tying his hands up before all this had begun.

"Aaaagh....!" Elric screamed again as he felt another slash of whip land across his back. This was was going to be harder than he'd thought. He'd played this game before, but he'd been the dominant one and even so, it felt more intense being submissive with Niel's threatening scent piercing at his skin like a thousand needles.

"Tighten your legs or you'll loose ballance and hurt your wrists..."

"More...! Give me...more..."

"As you wish Elric."

"...Agh! ...Aaaaah! ...Haaaah...!" Elric screamed in pain, struggling between slumbering and standing up while trying to endure the excruciating pain he felt on his back, and the continuous piercing of scent absorbed in his skin. His entire body was on fire and as he bent down his head to look between his legs, he was disappointed to discover he wasn't aroused at all, yet, why had he thought that he was? He wondered and before he could comprehend his situation, he felt another slash of whip stab his back.

"One."

Then another stab, and another, and another, each timed apart until his body could bear no more as he continuously twisted in pain, struggling to free his hands from where they were tightly tied atop him.

"One." Said Niel's voice calmly behind him. "Seems we are going to be stuck here for a long time. If you do not start obeying, there will be bleeding and tearing of skin on your back soon..."

"Why.... Ugh!" Elric groaned as another whip landed on his back.

"One."

"Fuck! It's...hard... your scent... Aaaaaagh!" Elric cried from the pain yet again, and again and again until he felt Niel whisper next to his ear.

"Should I remind you of the instructions yet again? Perhaps you have forgotten from the excruciating pain you are feeling right now, or you're simply enjoying it... Well, which is it Elric? Or you are giving up this soon?" Taking two steps back once more, Niel landed another whip and this time, with more strength than before. "One."

"Hgnnn...!" Elric moaned, or cried, Niel couldn't tell, but it felt good that finally he was submitting.

"One. You must mean it. I'm still not satisfied."

"Agnnn....! Ah...!"

"That's more like it. If the stimulation won't be enough to break you completely, you won't be escaping any time soon."

Elric moaned again, forcing himself to endure the pain. He'd thought this to be easy, after all, Niel was easily teased. To think that he'd made him reach this point of surrender...and his chocking scent continuously pinching at his skin and suffocating him, he'd soon start hyperventilating if not loose his consciousness from it all and with every slash, he forcefully faked each moan as ordered and slowly, his body began to accept the pain, growing numb to it until he felt Niel arms come around his waist, whispering to him that it was over.

His body immediately heated up further upon Niel's touch and he began letting out scent.

"I can't believe this turns you on." Niel's gaze had been between his fated's pulsating member. "Despite you gasping for air in my arms right now while trembling like a leaf, it's amazing that you are horny like this when I can almost feel your back burning up on my chest. You really do love this don't you?"

Elric had wanted to clear the misunderstanding but couldn't. He wanted to inform his fated that upon his touch and whispering, he'd ecome aroused but that would have meant admitting defeat. He also felt frightened from Niel's scent and the pain yet feeling him this close, hugging him from behind made him feel warm and safe. It was confusing. Perhaps it was this closeness that made him turned on in the first place.

"Still, the punishment must go on. You let out your scent without my permission." Niel took two steps back again and before Elric could form words in his mouth in defense, he began crying from the pain of being lashed at yet again. He squirmed, twisting and turning, wishing to look back and this time, one whip came after another continuously with no break in between.

He cried aloud, giving into the need to release his scent violently and freely to let his fated know he'd had enough but Niel only continued, landing more and more lashes on his back until he could bear no more for his speech was muffled from his crying.

"Zaa..dy.... za...ddy..." He called out and was relieved when Niel stopped.

"I couldn't hear you." Niel was behind him yet again.

"Safe...safe word... I want...a safe...word..."

"You know what you suffer from Elric...?" Niel asked, pinning Elric to the wall with his weight once more. They were of the same height so he could just speak right next to his ear. "You suffer from wishful thinking. You want whatever has hurt you to be so real so bad that despite knowing it isn't true, you don't want to let it go because you believe it to be true. You've ignored what is right in front of you which is the real truth because you want what you think is true to be true."

"It...hurts..." Elric struggled to speak but Niel had decided he wasn't about to have his way again.

"You're afraid to loose what you've already lost. You're afraid no one will love you if they knew who you really are, the most vulnerable parts of you, your psycho, what you deem appalling of yourself...the most disgusting parts of you but you fail to understand everyone has something they are afraid of revealing to others about themselves. Stop giving yourself special treatment by putting yourself on a pedestal, labelling yourself a playboy to mask whatever baggage you have. Now that I've marked you, and you've imprinted on me, it's time to let go of your past. Stop trapping the child in you. Set him free Elric. In due time, you'll heal after letting go..."

"You don't know...what...you're talking...about...."

"I want everything, all that you've safely hidden about yourself. All that you think makes you ugly. I want the most disgusting parts of you that you do not love about yourself and those you believe no one will love about you..."

"...St...op..."

"Soon, I'll come to love you. I won't be able to fight our spiritual essence anylonger and you'll begin to sense me too."

"Enough..." Elric shook as he spoke. "Untie me...now..."

"No. You haven't completely submitted yet Elric...."

"Zaddy...that is...my safe word..." Elric spoke in a manner of finality.

"My safe word...is Zaddy... Therefore...please untie me..."
