My friend, Demise

Chapter 20

Slightly not so slight nsfw

Since my house was being repaired, I'd been staying with Demise. My parents were staying with their own friends, but staying with my boyfriend meant it was hard to hide anything from him.

The very second I walked into his house, he was standing in front of the door with his arms crossed. I flinched. "Hi!"

"Don't." He glared at me. "You avoided me all day."

"Did I?" I sunk into my shoulders, scratching the back of my neck. "Sorry, I didn't realize."

"You're wearing a mask." He stepped forward and pulled my mask down, eyes softening when he saw that my lip was busted.

"Haha..." I laughed nervously. "Would you believe I fell?" He grabbed my arm and nearly dragged me back to his room. I tried to stand my ground but that did pretty much nothing for me. "Hey! Let go!"

He shoved me to the floor and locked his bedroom door. "Get up."

"Isn't your family here?" I crawled back from him as he stepped closer to me.

"Even if they were, I'd still punish you. Don't make me tell you to get up again or it'll be worse." I quickly jumped to my feet, earning a hand grabbing me by the hair and pulling me down to his height. "I thought we talked about you resisting fights."

"We did...and I failed." Within three minutes, I was tied with my wrists connected to the ceiling. My legs felt weak, which meant the rope was digging into my hands and arms a lot worse.

"Stand up." Demise stood across the room with his back against the wall, a remote in his hand. I glared at him.

"You don't think I want to?"

"I don't give a shit what you want."

"Don't I get a safe word or something?" I watched him press two different buttons on the remote, my body nearly collapsing on itself.

He looked me dead in the eyes and laughed. "I'll stop when I've calmed down."

I can't stand this for that long. There's no way he'd actually keep me like this, right? "When will that be..?"

"Might be tomorrow." He stared at me with the same glare he has whenever he's pissed at anyone, watching the dread cover my face when he spoke.

I can't breathe, my arms burn and I can't feel my legs. "This isn't...fair. I apologized..."

"It's not fair?" He walked toward me and lifted my chin. "You're lucky I haven't gotten bored with this yet. You should be thankful I didn't take you out in public like this."

"You're cruel."

"You think this is cruel?" He cocked his head, which made me want to take back what I just said. "I can show you what cruel is." He slipped the remote in his pocket and grabbed his keys. "I'm going for a drive, have fun. I'll be back around midnight, try to stay quiet."

"Don't go! I feel like my arms are going to fall off!"

"How is that my problem?"

"I'll do whatever you want." I felt my legs shake when he traced his hand up my bare thigh.

"That's a tempting offer but I think you just like being watched."

"I'll behave." Tears slipped down my face. "Please turn it off."

He reached into his back pocket and pulled the remote out. I have no idea what he did but my brain went completely numb, my vision blurring as he leaned close to my ear. "I'm losing patience."

By the time he finally let me down, it was dark outside and I couldn't walk on my own. He sat next to the bathtub I was in, tracing invisible designs over my shoulder. "Are you alright? I might have gone overboard."

"You're just saying that. I know you don't feel bad."

"You're right." He smiled and stood up, resting his hand on top of my head. "Your arms and legs will be bruised for a week at the least."

"I can't believe you have a whip."

"I can't believe you wouldn't assume I do."

"Fuck you, I cant feel my legs."

"Good."

I grabbed his arm and pulled him into the bathtub with me, splashing water all over his bathroom floor and getting his clothes wet. I expected him to be a little mad but to my surprise, he started laughing.

A light blush spread across my face, his wet hair falling down to his nose. I could hear my heartbeat in my ears and I'm pretty sure I stopped breathing when he looked me in the eyes.

Thank you, God.

"Ah- your all red! Are you okay?"
