[chokuto]

[There's a muffled sound against the bed, halfway between a sob and a moan — unable to thrash when those fingers toy with that tender spot of nerves inside of him, massaging a hot, electric rush of pleasure straight through his bloodstream. He feels like if it was physically possible to get hard again, he would in seconds — but even as his softened cock stirs in a lazy little twitch, it remains pliant and malleable to handling, fitted easily with the silicone ring that Cy slips down to the base. It doesn't feel very snug; he knows that will change soon.

In the restraints and with the device, he can't close his legs against Cy's efforts as he might wish, but his ass clenches down unbearably tight around those knuckles while he's fingered. He could let it drag on and on, and he wonders if he would get close to an orgasm again — but he's also eager to move into the scene, and thematically it would make more sense if he's not yet fully hard. So—]

I'm... hah, ready. [Whatever will take him closer to Cy fucking him, even if it means at the expense of his own torment. Or especially because of it.] I love you. [And then in a breathless exhale,] Taenarum.

o lord here we go

[hallowing]

I love you too.

（ it's said in a murmur, as he pulls his hand away from sasuke's ass, wiping the lube off on the sheets before he leans down to kiss him gently. ）

My men set you up like this for me. They know what I like — bringing powerful men to their knees before me, forcing them to serve me. You haven't seen me outside of battle yet, but you know my reputation.

（ he brushes sasuke's hair back from his forehead, and then gives him a soft smile as he rubs his thumb against the boy's lips. ）

Thank you for doing this with me. Now — I'll leave and then come back in a couple minutes so you can get yourself into the mindset. I'm going to be rough with you, so be prepared for how that might affect you.

（ precautions he's said before — but he trusts sasuke, and this sort of scene is an indication of just how deeply that trust goes. there's one last once-over as he checks the bonds, the positioning of the humbler, makes sure that sasuke is otherwise comfortable and that nothing is pinched or abraded in a way that will affect the scene and then he gently caresses a line down sasuke's spine and disappears in a cold curl of that bleak, oily energy.

he doesn't go back to their room, but to the rooftop gardens, closing his eyes. listening to the ambient sounds of nature — simulated or otherwise. the trees still smell like trees, the earth still smells like dirt. it's enough to shore up his defences so he can slip into a mindset that he'd be hard-pressed to show willingly to anyone else at the casino — being a conquering warlord may come naturally to him, but he sure as hell wishes it didn't.

when he's taken those few quiet minutes to himself, he steels himself and then returns, though nearer the room's physical door as if he'd just stepped through it. as before, there are subtle changes to his behaviour. his body language is more deliberate — colder. his accent has lost that torontonian drawl when he speaks: ）

Wine?

（ it's said with a faint, cruel amusement — a man knowing that his prisoner is in no position to accept. but he pours two glasses anyway, at the running board along one wall. the clink of glass gives away that he has both in one hand as he approaches the bed and sits not on it, but in a chair nearby. ）

time to let their freak out (again)

[chokuto]

[The love Cy leaves with him is pervasive, draping over him like a sheer veil and settling in the quiet that follows the man's abrupt departure, malignant power leftover in a chill. And during the interim of those minutes, Sasuke prepares himself mentally — finding this to be no difficult task. To be someone's enemy was the mold of his entire life. To be captured, perhaps, less so — but no reach. He's found himself bound and helpless in the past, at the mercy of better opponents; this changed context, however, is a fantasy he could have never even dared to dream.

He feels the moment Cy reenters the room, and the man will find that he hasn't changed position on the bed — though likewise his body language has changed. There is tension in muscles not previously present, arm stiff against the restraint of rope, fingers fisted, head folded down to completely conceal his face against the bed. Not an inch of movement tempts the tool between his legs forcing him to maintain this shameful, bent position, and he says nothing when that question comes. He hardly even breathes.

Shame would be powerful, if this situation was real — both for the defeat and the humiliation. Those are ready emotions to mask in silent observation and resentfulness. His ears pick up the sound of glass, then the noise of steps across the carpeted floor, and when Cy chooses a side of the bed he turns his head deliberately in the other direction, unwilling even to look at the approach.]

[hallowing]

（ cy sits one of the glasses down on the end table at the foot of the bed, and settles into a lazy slouch in the chair, drinking the other. there's a scuff of sound as he kicks his boots off, and then lifts his legs to rest his feet on the bed. ）

Ah, （ an enlightened sound of one given clarity. ） I see. They told me you were prideful.

（ there's a suck of his teeth that follows a long draught of the wine, and then that glass too is set aside. ）

Credit where it's due. （ he leans forward, letting one hand settle against sasuke's ankle, skirting up his calf, the hollow of his bent knee, his thigh. ） You put up a good fight. How many of my men did you kill?

[chokuto]

[He is aware of every movement, every subtle sound, like glass against his teeth — and it is sheer discipline that keeps him from jolting underneath the hand that skims his leg, so that when Cy touches him there is only rigid and unyielding muscle.

The question is meant to make him speak, and eventually he does, in a tone that is comparable to the first time Cy had met him — low, sharp on the syllables, emotion like a burning ember within the haughty tone.]

I didn't count. [He doesn't lift the volume of his voice, but he knows Cy will hear him.] I hardly noticed your men at all.

[hallowing]

Mm.

（ his fingers walk across taught muscle to where the humbler is affixed across sasuke's thighs. there's a speculative hum of sound, and then a gentle little pat to his balls. the sound of a knife being pulled from a sheath, and then cy starts cutting at the ropes compressing sasuke into the submissive position. he's not careful about it, though he keeps from nicking skin. ）

They noticed you. The ones that tied you like this for me, they lost friends, family, lovers to you and your side. Yet, you see how nicely they treated you? They could've beaten the shit out of you, and they didn't.

（ the knife is trailed from a shoulder down to sasuke's chin, and cy turns the point against the soft, fleshy part beneath the jaw. gentle encouragement to raise his head — made easier now by the use of his arm. ）

Do you know why they showed that restraint?

[chokuto]

[The device is not any less painful in the time he's worn it, except that Sasuke is motivated to disguise its effect on him in a way he hasn't done with Cy since their early days of exploration together. His jaw flexes, teeth gritted hard against the shard of pain inspired by that slight stimulation; it takes everything of battle-worn discipline not to move when that knife begins to cut him loose.

That, and the trust — like a shining tether between them, allowing him to indulge this subjugation from within the safe cradle of this man's guidance, this man's control.

The point finds his chin, and he resists until the last possible second, until the blade threatens blood, then lifts his head with the aid of a forearm braced on the mattress. His hair is messy and hangs into his face, but his eyes are visible — expression like cool fire through the dark fringe, defiant even to the position he's been reduced.]

I assume it has something to do with you. But you'll tell me anyway, won't you?

[hallowing]

Nah. I'm not much for monologuing.

（ he pats sasuke's cheek with the flat of the blade, and then puts it away again. then, reaching, he hefts him by the arm and with a flick of his wrist he pitches sasuke off the bed and onto the floor. there's a thick, plush rug there to break his fall — but there's concrete beneath it, and he can't fall well given how he'll have to protect himself from the humbler.

there's no saying where he got the leash from, but he does lean down and clip it through the d-ring of the collar. when he sits back in the chair, he jerks at it, dragging sasuke closer to him. ）

I was kinda hopin' you'd guess. Now, come here. You're going to suck my dick — and if it's on the tip of your tongue to ask me why, or a thought in your head to do something naughty like try to bite me, I'm going to remind you that you're not the only one we've captured from your side tonight. You're just the only one that's in this room. Do you care about your men, Uchiha?

[chokuto]

[There's a — gasp, inhaled a little too quick, in the moment before he is shoved over the edge of the bed beholden to the strength in Cy's grasp. Reflex has him catching his weight on hand and knees, and the rug absorbs some of the blow but not all of it, blunt impact a dull vibration through his body down to the humbler with an aching snag of taut skin that almost makes him cry out. Almost. He puts his face down against the rug instead, composing himself, swallowing the pain. Taking it.]

I don't need to guess. [The words are bitten through his teeth, chewed and spat out — hardly able to recover his balance before the leash yanks him up, forced in a forward tilt.] That is what it's all for, isn't it? Your depraved lust. I should have known not to expect better.

[He can't let it show that he fears any of this, but — there is a glimmer of it at the mention of his men. A fracture in the steely discipline, because someone like Sasuke would care more for the lives of others than himself, and he would feel that burden on his shoulders, faced by the enemy's capture. Even proud, even on his knees suffering this shame and humiliation, he would sacrifice himself if necessary.]

And? I do this, you'll let them live?

[hallowing]

（ he laughs, reeling sasuke closer until the boy can't help but settle right between his open thighs. the leash is tied off against one of the chair's arms, leaving almost no slack, no room to run. he hooks his ankles behind sasuke's knees, not only spreading his legs somewhat forcibly, but also ensuring he has no way to back up. ）

I haven't gotten here by letting my enemies martyr themselves by sword or servility, Uchiha.

（ he leans down and seizes sasuke's jaw in a cruel, bruising grip. pulling him forward. ）

If you can impress me, I'll consider killing them outright instead of giving them to my men. You don't have to act like you like it — in fact, I'd rather you didn't. But you bite me once, I'll bring the youngest one in here and torture him to death while you watch, so mind your manners.

[chokuto]

[The forceful spread of thighs jostles the device holding sensitive skin, and Sasuke's jaw flexes against the bruising grip that tilts his head up — movements restricted by the position, he has no choice but to face the man above him. That dark glared is maintained, defiance aglow in a prideful expression unwilling to break despite the display made of his body. His hand finds the edge of the chair, braced to keep from swaying forward.

In the context of this scene, he has never seen the warlord who has conquered him outside the battlefield before — and though it is masked, though he conceals it with discipline, there's no denying how breathlessly attractive Cy is to him like this, sprawled on the throne of a chair and delivering cruelty with such ease.]

So, after you kill my men, what will you do with me? [Better not to talk about them. Better to turn this man's attention onto himself.] You know it wouldn't be wise to leave me alive. You've seen what I am capable of.

cw: suicide/rape/torture mention

[hallowing]

（ it took, on average, a century for kulo vayn to subjugate a world to his preference. he wasn't hurried about it. he would hunt people down just to kill them barehanded. make examples of them in the street. he was never prepossessed of guile — he didn't lie. he would just tell people, over and over, that they would die, and that he would kill them. sometimes, they would kill themselves first and he would force the captive god he kept in the void to drag them back from death so he could do it again, properly. and for those centuries, cy watched, and begged, and pleaded, and then eventually grew quiet. no help was coming, and it became easier to accept that death was the inevitable outcome after whatever other cruel tortures had caught his interest.

it made him shameful, once, the way those experiences shaped his tastes. he carried that for a long time within himself — but looking at sasuke on his knees, rife with defiance and beauty and strength, he doesn't mind so much where the genesis of the preference came from — only that it lead him here.

he makes a speculative sound, leaning his chin into his palm. ）

Trying to distract me. Cute — if clumsy — but go on. What should I do with you, then? Since I've 'seen what you're capable of'.

[chokuto]

You should kill me.

[As if the answer to that question could be less obvious. Sasuke pulls on the leash, even as it cuts the collar against his throat to a degree that presses a red, angry line against pale skin.]

After you're satisfied. Do whatever you want to me now, then end my life.

[hallowing]

Yeah?

（ he traces the line of the leash to sasuke's throat, lets his fingers settle atop it and squeezes, just a little. ）

That'd be convenient for you. You're a trained warrior, you knew what to expect going into this fight if you lost. A little degradation, a little shame you can stand, if you knew death was at the finish line, huh? Death and pain — your own, anyway — don't scare you.

（ he smiles — it's not a terribly nice expression, devoid of his usual genuine good humour. instead, it's callous, and cruelty is writ plain. he drags sasuke closer between his legs, ruthless, not caring for the pressure it's going to put on his balls nor how it's going to force him to move to accommodate it.

his other hand drops to his pants and undoes them, taking his cock out from where it's been straining uncomfortably against one thigh. he forces sasuke to bend, pushing the head of his cock against his close-lipped mouth with a flex of his thighs, and when he doesn't immediately move to open them he settles for rubbing a smear of precome in a gloss against his lips. ）

It's worse to live with it. To carry it. And you've been a considerable source of frustration for me for a long, long time. Why would I want to make this easy on you? Open.

[chokuto]

[The strain is visible on his face once he's dragged in closer — where normally he might have lasted, reigning in that place of apathy and arrogance where he once lived, the humbler is new to him and the pain associated like bright fire between his legs. There's a gasp, flinching beneath the hand that finds his throat, feeling his own heartbeat in a fast stutter beneath it. Excitement, adrenaline coaxed by pain.

It's also impossible not to watch, rapt, as Cy pulls his cock loose from the confines of clothing to reveal the state of its arousal. Hard flesh is full and flushed with blood, reminding Sasuke of that first time he let Cy spank him — the way he'd seen that pleasure played back in Cy's body language as it is now. It leaves his mouth dry, but he suppresses a desire to wet his lips.]

Do you deal with all of your enemies this personally, or am I special?

[He makes sure the question is pressed directly to the crown of the man's cock, a drawl of haughty words before obedience. He plays at reluctance — refusing to acknowledge the shiny smear of precome like a lipstick on his mouth, lips parted only the scantest few centimeters that will have to be forced wider.]

[hallowing]

（ he hooks a thumb in the corner of sasuke's mouth and wrenches at his jaw, forcing it open, forcing sasuke to take him in. his mouth is hot, tongue pressed flat in continued defiance, and cy enjoys the resistance as he pulls him down far enough to choke. sasuke has no choice but to relax his throat and accept the head of his cock at its back, and although he gives him a few seconds to adjust it's certainly not the time he'd otherwise grant if this was a vanilla scene. once sasuke has his nose forcibly pressed in against his pubes, cy strokes a hand through the dark spill of his hair and continues genially — ）

Not all of them. See, this sort of treatment is a privilege.

（ the leash gets untied from the chair arm, and then he hooks it through a beltloop on his pants and then it's looped about the back of sasuke's neck. like this, sasuke has no way to pull himself back far enough to come completely off his cock, narrowing the possibility of resistance down to nearly nothing.

one foot braces against the humbler, where its edges jut out from the backs of sasuke's thighs, and he pushes at it, adding pressure to one side. he knows it will hurt — and he knows just as well that sasuke can take it. ）

The stronger they are on the battlefield, the more I want them on their knees. You've hit me where it hurts, Uchiha — killing my men. （ there's a disappointed little suck of his teeth, and then he lets sasuke back just enough to pull him back down onto the spear of his cock. ） Come on, work for it. I said you didn't have to act like you liked it, not that you don't have to perform. The quicker you get me off, the more quickly we can get to the next part of your penance.

[chokuto]

[It's fortunate they've practiced this act so many times, because otherwise Sasuke would not be able to take that forceful slide of a cock without choking outright — seconds of adjustment become meager when his mouth is so full, so fast, back of his throat tight with the squeeze around the thick crown. He drags in air through his nose where it's shoved into the man's pelvic bone, jaw stretched to an ache, cheeks taking on a flush of color for the effort. As immediate as it is, all of his senses are flooded with Cy — that heady masculine scent and bitter-salt taste, the sight of smooth muscle and careless grace when he dare a glance up through dark lashes. He could get carried away like this, could show his hand and break the fidelity of the scene by letting his throat relax around the heavy burden on his tongue, allowing a moan around the girth of Cy's cock.

Privilege. Sasuke hangs onto that word, uses it as fuel in the mindset of the role he's playing as if there truly are lives on the line. It isn't as difficult as he'd expected to pretend like he is a resentful captive. He can sink into this, mind slipping away as if he is within subspace already — the nudge of a foot at the humbler all the more effective as a result.

The pain is electric. He can feel it all over his body, pulsing to the beat of his heart. He gags — an attempted inhale on the dick in his throat quickly extinguished, a jerk on the leash only to learn there's nowhere to go. The sheen of wetness in his eyes is less because he's trying to cry, knowing Cy likes it, than a compulsory response to choking. And in this role he restrains the reflex, lashes blinking the tears away.

In the awareness that it will save men from suffering, Sasuke bends into the act as if he is steel in a forge, hot with fire yet unyielding, gliding his mouth back down rigid flesh with less care than dutiful finesse. He knows how to suck a cock, and that knowledge is demonstrated now in the lash of a tongue, the tight seal of lips, the avoidance of sharp teeth.]

[hallowing]

There you go.

（ it's said with a sort of imperious approval — satisfaction at someone put so thoroughly into their place that there can be no mistaking their subjugation. cy slinks lower in the chair, tipping his head back against its frame, throat working in a long swallow that does not mask the groan that sasuke pulls out of him. why should he be resolved against a demonstration of pleasure, in a situation like this?

he affords sasuke no autonomy at all — or at least the illusion of its lack. he's attentive as ever to his breathing and the tension of his body, and when he has cause to concern himself he will shove sasuke back enough to breathe properly, using it as an opportunity to taunt him, to draw attention to the rank debasement. ）

If your men could see you now.

（ is one such sentiment, murmured as he cleans a line of drool from one corner of sasuke's mouth, wiping his hand off on his cheek as if annoyed by the filth. he meets sasuke's eyes briefly — brow lifted in an unspoken check-in — and he clearly sees what he's looking for in the boy's expression, because he settles and then continues: ）

What would they think of you sucking cock to spare them a slow, torturous death?

[chokuto]

[The degradation rolls over him, pushing his mind into that gray and heady place where it becomes less necessary to think, to be. The context of this scene helps, though he retains enough awareness not to slip out of the role completely — pulled off of Cy's cock with a wet choking sound, eyes cutting away to avoid the directness of that question.

And perhaps he plays it up a little, knowing Cy will like it. The way his jaw works, swallowing, saliva messy where Cy wipes his hand. The rough and ragged breath he sucks in like he can't get enough air, like he's fighting against himself to perform this act.]

They would understand it was for a reason. [There's pride in this, too, spirit unbroken even as his voice comes thick and ruined from having the man's cock forced down his throat.] If you mean to humiliate me, it won't work. Use me as you wish — abuse me, I don't care.

[So long as his men are shown mercy.

Never mind that Sasuke shifts to squeeze his thighs together, only to stop at the first throb of pain from the humbler hinged over his balls — he can feel his own cock thickening, filling out, the silicone band at its root growing steadily tighter.]

[hallowing]

Ah, see. You've just done a dangerous thing.

（ cy pets at sasuke's cheek, almost lovingly, and then he bends down and kisses him — this too a violation, a deliberate act that forces sasuke's mouth open that cy might lick the taste of himself from it. the chain at sasuke's throat stays taut, disallowing him the chance to slip away and it isn't until cy's satisfied that he lets it go slack again, lets sasuke have the space to breathe.

then he levers one foot against sasuke's shoulder and shoves him hard down to the floor, standing as he does it to loom over him. coordinating the backwards splay of limbs is all on sasuke to manage, and then cy leans his weight against that point of contact, pinning him down. ）

You've given me a challenge. （ he leans one forearm against his knee, intensifying the downward pressure against sasuke's shoulder even as his other hand slips to his own cock, still wet and messy with sasuke's saliva and hot with the warmth of his mouth. cy works his hand down the shaft, squeezing over the head of his crown, deliberately working himself off. ） You see, I — ah... bet I can humiliate you just fine.

（ the foot is removed from sasuke's shoulder just long enough for him to drop down to a knee instead, half-straddling the boy's chest while using the hard press of a knee to disable his right arm, shin braced overtop sasuke's bicep. like this, the intent of his pose is made more obvious and deliberate — he's going to come on sasuke's face, though the way he works himself off is unhurried, sensual. as if he's as much enjoying the exploration of his own body as he is sasuke's place beneath him. ）

I'm going to break you down until you're nothing but a sheathe for my cock. Then you can tell your men how much you enjoy it while I make them watch, hm? Open your mouth, boy, let's see how good my aim is.

（ he doesn't genuinely intend to aim, but he knows that sasuke will appreciate the taste of him even if most of the ejaculate coats his face or gets striped up into his hair. but whether or not he complies is another thing entirely — and cy doesn't particularly care if he chooses to or not. he comes on a harsh exhalation, hinging forward to brace himself with his free hand against the floor as he shivers through a blistering orgasm, milking himself beyond the aftershocks so that every last drop of come ends up on his boyfriend's skin. ）

[chokuto]

[The kiss is deep, breathless. He cannot pull himself out of it with the leash taut, collar a brand around his throat, and that restriction is enough to send a rush of heat into his belly as his mouth is taken by a forceful tongue. And there's no time to adjust to the moment after, because soon he's shoved hard to the ground with a strength that is dizzying, fall broken with his right arm, heels quick to find stability so that he's not made to sit on the humbler. He manages only barely — and the carpeted ground still jars the device enough that bright pain fishes a sound out of him, gritted high and strangled around tight teeth.

Cy towers above him, natural height made more stark for the difference of their positions. He is cruel and magnetically confident — he wields his power in this scenario with such effortless grace that, without the parameters of the scene they've established as well as Sasuke's own experience with BDSM so far, it would be easy to succumb to that thrall. To feel it is real, rather than Cy's iron-fisted control at work.

Sasuke, if he was himself, would have opened his mouth with soft obedience, would have licked his lips like a cat lapping up cream — but he is not himself, and so his mouth remains a defiant line pinched at the corners and his head turns away from those obscene words. He takes the hot load across his cheek and temple, stripes of come painting his face in a humiliating portrait. Some trickles down the bridge of his nose; some sticks in closed eyelashes, in the fridge of dark hair at the crown of his head. With his right arm pinned and useless he can't wipe it away so he simply wears it — debased as much as he is claimed by the act.]

[hallowing]

（ he makes a faint noise of amusement at that little act of defiance, and then he leans down to rub the mess more thoroughly across sasuke's face before wiping a hand on his hair and standing, stepping back. he puts his foot beneath sasuke's side and shoves him, intending to force him over onto his hand and knees. ）

There's a rack of riding crops along the wall. Crawl to it. Pick something out and crawl back. I'm going to beat you with it.

（ he, conversely, just sits back down in the chair, casually tucking his cock back into his pants. he sits in an open-thighed splay, one elbow braced on the chair's arm, the other loosely holding the collar's leash. there's just enough slack there that sasuke can reach the indicated display of implements — straps and crops and floggers, leather belts and assorted other implements for the purpose of nothing else but pain. they'd negotiated on a number, with the option to increase or decrease based on how the scene's going and what sasuke feels of his tolerance level — but by the way his cock has filled out, and how he's still playing along, cy has a pretty reasonable gauge on how he's feeling about what's transpired up to now. there's a swell of soft affection that all but takes him by the throat, and if sasuke happens to chance a look back at him he might see it naked on his face — the adoration and the love that are lit like a constellation across the set of his mouth and brow. ）

[chokuto]

[He can feel the come cooling on his skin where Cy has wiped it off, a mess that sticks hair at his temple and along his cheekbone, leaving him dirtied and marked in a way that aches at the pit of his stomach. Then he's turned over in a breathless kick, nerves alight with the promise Cy sets in the air between them — eyes already turned toward the rack of implements, studying them.

There is a glance back, but only briefly before he begins to crawl, and the look he glimpses on Cy's face makes that painful passage across the ground feel like nothing, even when every movement hurts. Without his left arm it's almost a humiliation how slow his pace is — forced to hop his weight on the palm of his right hand until he gets to the end of the leash's slack. It doesn't matter what Sasuke takes from the wall, but in this role he would never select the easy way out, would never choose a soft-tressed flogger for the perception that he is weak, that he can't bear worse. So into his teeth he takes one of the slender crops, biting down in order to carry it back.

That claim to pride against humiliation feels hot and heavy on his skin like this, leashed and collared, crawling on his knees, fetching the implement like an obedient pet for its master with come still drying on his skin and in his hair. He's burning with it by the time he reaches Cy's chair, vividly aware of the fact that he would never — not by any stretch of the imagination — ever allow someone else to do this to him, to see him like this.]

[hallowing]

（ by the time sasuke makes that slow return trip, cy's slipped back into the moment. his gaze is assessing, imperious — a cruel sneer as he leans down to take the crop from him. then, he pats one thigh invitingly, making it clear that sasuke should bend himself across it. ）

Come here. Over my knee. I won't ask twice.

（ but what he'll do if refused is hard to say. as warlords go, he's as mercurial as he is merciless. the persona he's pulled down over himself like a mask is not, for all intents and purposes, so disparate from who he is that it's a challenge, kulo vayn's influence bitten deep into the core of his personhood. what's different is that, for all the gratification that comes from these acted scenes, cy is not that person on purpose — and that difference is what has given sasuke the safety necessary to surrender into the scene.

ultimately, whether sasuke comes to him 'willingly', or resists the further humiliation, his demand will be met, and he smooths a hand across sasuke's bare ass in a pure, aesthetic appreciation. the humbler is given a little tug, straining delicate skin, and then the crop is dragged in a sensual pass over his balls and up the cleft of his ass.

a warlord wouldn't care about the state of sasuke's cock, but cy does — reaching beneath sasuke's body to make sure it's not pinched against his thigh. he gives him one stroke, a moment's loving attention, and then: ）

You're doing well, （ he says, and there's genuine appreciation in his tone — for all that it's not one cy generally uses with sasuke to express that sentiment. ） I wouldn't have expected anything less from an Uchiha, after all, but you're still managing to impress me. （ he swats the lacquered wood of the humbler with the crop, more to create a sudden sound than to hurt. ） Beg me not to hit your balls and I might be inclined to capitulate.

[chokuto]

[Cy has to make him do it. A rough yank to the end of the leash forces him forward, then a well-aimed kick folds both knees, so that he's bent over the man's thigh — all in the time it takes to sharply inhale a breath. His head hangs down, messy hair in his eyes, vision obscured so that he's left with only a narrow channel of perspective to see the world. He's led by Cy's voice and the mean little tug at the humbler, physically jerking at the sharp bolt of pain, a reflex easily stayed by the hand that holds him steady in that folded-over position.

The riding crop teases across his lower body, threat written into the gentle drag across the tight, abused sack of his balls held by lacquered wood, along the furrow of his ass bared and vulnerable. There is no denying the humiliated submission of this act — like a misbehaving child meant to be disciplined. If he notices the gentleness with which Cy arranges his cock between them, he says nothing. It feels so natural that it barely hiccups in his attention during the scene. A soft, soothing pet — affection left like a gift within simulated cruelty.]

I don't — beg. [His voice isn't so even any longer, and he can't help the flinch from the crop when it strikes wood.] I said I'd endure your demands of my body, but I will never beg you for it.
