Heart of River {BDSM / 18+}

We got back to the house and he kindly walked me to my room to put my stuff away, but he refused to leave me alone. I appreciated the sentiment but I wasn't going to do anything harmful.

"You'll be sleeping in my room tonight." Kentaro ran his fingers through my hair, a sweetly concerned look on his face.

"Yes, Sir." Like there'd be a point in arguing, not with him.

My mind kept running over everything I should've noticed. All the little signs I should've pieced together. Of course Casey would be attracted to Kentaro, especially being a switch. He had also succumbed to the Dom and wanted to feel that power control. But why keep it from me? After everything else he'd shared.

Kentaro led me to his room and I stopped in my tracks, all thoughts leaving my mind. There, across from Kentaro's bed, was a cage. A me-sized cage. It had blankets and a pillow and two little stuffed dogs.

My eyes teared up and I choked on a sob. I couldn't get the words out to thank him but he wrapped me in a hug and kissed the top of my head.

"I thought you'd like it." His tone, for all the powerful Dom he was, was nervous. Slightly, but it was there.

I calmed down and squeezed him tight. "I love it. Thank you."

He didn't say anything else, only let me go to look in the cage. He watched me so intently, I didn't know whether or not I could bare going in right now.

"I've got some things to do, why don't you go and get some water once you're done in here and meet me in my study after."

"Yes, Sir." I smiled and he gave me a small one back.

I felt so lucky to be here, and I loved the way Kentaro treated me. But I was a selfish and stupid person, and kept thinking about how nice it would be for Casey to be here and see these things too. I wanted to share these moments with him.

I made my way to the kitchen and another smile pushed the thoughts away. I had my own set of bowls, placed ever so neatly on the counter. He had gotten it engraved with my name on it.

Something tells me Kentaro expected my answer to be him, and that made me smile and also hesitant.

No. Stop being stupid.

I take a deep breath and take one of the bowls and fill it with water. I set it on the floor next to the table and kneel, happily sipping at the water. Even though he wasn't here, there was something about knowing I was using something my Master got me and wanted me to have.

I happily trot back to his office and knock softly on the open door before walking in. He's typing something out, with his cell phone pressed between his cheek and his shoulder.

I kneel at his feet and patiently wait, watching his movements. He was always so in control, I wonder if he ever needed anything more to release stress.

"Alright, I got it. Thank you." He hung up the phone and sighed. He sent off whatever he'd been typing and leaned back in his chair.

I lean against his leg and his hand pets my head. He presses the hand against my head and reaches for something. Confused, I keep still and feel the familiar cool touch of the collar around my throat.

I relax a little and his fingers card through my hair. My eyes close and he repeats his movements a few more times before I feel something pushed into my mouth.

I open wider for him and open my eyes, realizing it's a gag. He then shows me the puppy mask and clicks it into place around my head. I'd never worn a proper mask before and it felt weird.
