Sore

Flinch awoke with a groan. He felt like his whole body was made of planks of wood stuck together with honey. His movements were stiff, sluggish and followed by grumbling and curses. Never had he felt so sore in his entire life. He made his way to his food store and ate some roots, berries and dried meat to recover his strength. Remembering how meditation helped him relieve his pain yesterday, Flinch sat down to meditate after breakfast. His mind was clearer and at the end of the hour, he was almost sure he gotten a vague grasp on how Qi felt inside his body.

Remembering the two women he still had tied up, he grabbed some food and water and went to Astra first. The paladin had left a puddle of drool on the ground beneath her during the night as the ring gag **** her mouth open. Flinch made a mental note of that, then woke her up with some light slaps. “Mnnngh? Hnnnng!”, she started protesting as the mental fog lifted and she realized that her predicament was not a bad dream. Her struggles were as much in vain as the day before, though it was still enjoyable watching her exhaust herself. “Stay still. I will take the gag out to feed you, if you behave it will stay out. That clear?”, Flinch ordered. Astra stopped and considered her options, then nodded.

She greedily gulped down water and food until she was satisfied, then she looked up at about where Flinch stood sheepishly, “Is Valery alright?”, she asked. “She is well. I treated her as I treated you, she was just more helpful in other ways too.”, Flinch smugly replied. Astra wanted to make a comment but knew better than to provoke another night gagged. She even looked slightly aroused at the thought of her friend being bound and bred like she was, maybe the dark made her more comfortable displaying such emotions. “You enjoyed it, didn’t you?”, Flinch chuckled. She went bright red, “NO! OF COURSE NOT YOU BEAST! I-I… I made a vow. I am not allowed to enjoy this. I am strong, so I have to be strong, for others.”. Her voice carried deep vulnerability in this moment and Flinch didn’t intend to tease her about it, whatever was blossoming inside her, it was good for him.

“You can let go once in a while, you know? Be weak, be helpless, let others take control. If that is what you desire, how is that wrong?”, he encouraged her. She received his words well, it looked like she didn’t hear such words ever, “I, well, what the fuck do you know. ****!”, she defiantly snapped at him. “I’m a ****, you tried to **** me. I was just more successful.”, he then bent down to whisper in her ear, “Your friend wasn’t nearly as wet as you when I started fucking her. If I didn’t know how virtuous you were, I’d call you a slut.”. Astra stared angrily into the dark where she estimated Flinch to be, but she couldn’t retort, he was right. Flinch gave her a last gulp of water, “I will make this life pleasant for you, if you obey me. Neither you nor your friend will be hurt if you do as I say. Understood?”. A shiver went through her body and she nodded, biting her lip. “Good slut.”, Flinch laughed, “I’ll tend to Valery, you earned some time without the gag.”. Then he left Astra alone with her thoughts.
