Chadrick sat in his chair, somehow managing to look casual with one leg crossed over the other and yet with the gag still in his mouth. His eyes were directed to the middle of the basement. To the center stage, so to speak. It wasn't dark, this time, as in his experience it sometimes was during punishments.
No.
The lights were on, and everything could be seen, clearly. Every inch of Trenton's body, still crouched on the stone ground, exposed. He'd seen him naked, before, though...so why was he feeling as if electrified? As if he could run and run and run and not grow tired, in spite of his weariness before.
The answer came quickly enough; and it was that he had never seen Trenton in this position before, his fellow slave and most hated enemy. There was something that bothered him about it, but even he couldn't pinpoint what that was exactly then.
Meanwhile, Henri sat perched on the edge of his stool, looking uncomfortable in his own skin. He felt bad. Bad, bad, bad. If it weren't for him then he doubted the older man would even be down here. And he'd been nice, last night. Letting him suck him, like that. He'd tasted so good. As if recalling, the blue eyed boy unconsciously licked his lips. Though maybe that was nervousness, or the cool air, which had dried them.
Oh, fuck...fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck... Trenton wasn't one to lose his cool but he knew he was in trouble the instant he chanced a glance up and caught sight of it. Not the crop -- he'd expected that -- but the gloves. The sight of those hurt more than he thought the crop ever would, and he ducked his head as quickly as he had lifted it, a defensive maneuver quickly thwarted by the sensation of firm leather pressing to his jawline. He lifted his head and his gaze quickly; but didn't make direct eyecontact.
Fuck. Trenton knew he had to bear the questions, though it was painful. "I felt..." he started to respond, his voice strong and smooth as ever. Yet it didn't continue after that. Because he knew he had to tell the truth. And the truth, more than the questions, hurt, hurt like hell. Trenton was on his feet with out barely knowing how he'd gotten there, in spite of the minutes, that dragged and dragged...
Then he felt it, Damien's hand slipping around the tender flesh of his testicles. The fingers weren't warm as they usually were -- their heat blocked off by the material of the gloves, which then felt as cold as the air around them. Trenton breathed inhaled sharply. Slave. The word cut Trenton to the bone, and it showed, in the widening of his eyes.
But he continued to say nothing...the dead silence from him answer enough, right? Inappropriately, he wanted to laugh. Though he knew the option to avoid speaking and just withdraw into some place else would be gone from him soon enough. The hand tightened. His breath hitched. His eyes squeezing shut as he leaned back into the demanding tug, groaning under his breath.
Warm lips to cold ear. They were searing. He wanted to lean into his Master's warmth, yet he knew he had no right, and so wanted to disappear, or else erase the events of last night completely. He shuddered at the memories. Memories that caused a traitorous stiffening about his groin, even as his balls throbbed and his eyes burned behind their lids. Finally, the bite, which caused his quiet groan to shoot up in volume though he quickly stifled it with a hoarsely gasped, "Master." That was it. Nothing else.
Trenton couldn't, wouldn't speak beyond that. If he could help it, stop it at all. Not yet.
