Waking up in his home is always so strange. Sometimes my hands were bound to the bedframe, sometimes I woke up in one of the warm bathtubs, and other times I've caught him , just watching me while I slept. This time wasn't all that different but it stuck out a little more because it was one of the first.
I couldn't open my eyes, a blindfold, maybe? And I could feel ropes on my wrists, but I didn't really feel like moving anyways, so I don't know exactly what the ropes were accomplishing.
Something's tugging on my neck... maybe this should be painful, but it isn't. I grit my teeth, it's getting uncomfortable and I can feel a gloved hand on my chin, someone's moving my head, tilting it back and to the side, breathing is getting a little uncomfortable.
I make a small noise, something like a whimper, but I'm not sure but the tugging suddenly stops.
"Aw, shit. He's awake isn't he? I thought you said you took care of it, I don't wanna hurt him," It was a woman's voice.
"I-" it's Asher's voice, he sounds surprised and a little annoyed, "just keep going, Courtney. I'll take care of it, it's fine."
I had no clue what they were talking about, and I really didn't care. It was starting to hurt, it was a sharp, warm, wet feeling on the soft spot just behind my ear... it's such a sensitive spot. I manage to open my eyes a little just to see a blurry image of what appeared to be a concerned-looking woman with long bleach-blonde hair, black demon horns and ocean blue eyes... she's concentrating so much.
"Oh, now his eyes are open, Asher," Courtney mumbles, but she's still going.
"He's fine, we used local anesthetic. He can't feel anything," Asher says curtly. I whimper a little louder, I'm so uncomfortable. This causes Courtney to pause, and I can see her head turn, presumably to look at Asher,
"No, he's clearly feeling it. I can't do this anymore, here." I can see some shiny metal moving across my vision then I can see Asher's slightly annoyed face as he leans over me, the uncomfortable tugging sensation continuing.
I'm not sure how long this went on for, five maybe ten minutes? But I was just staring up at the ceiling, trying not to make eye contact with Asher. I felt... scared? No, violated. I still couldn't move if I tried, and it felt so wrong to try and speak.
Eventually he finished up and I could feel him sewing me shut, and I could feel someone untying my restraints... then Asher rolled me onto my side, draping a warm, fuzzy blanket over me before he told Courtney a begrudged "thank you" and left the room with her, closing the door behind them. I laid there for god knows how long. My mind was oddly calm, looking back I have no idea how, but I could barely think of much of anything to be upset about. The bed was so warm and my body felt so heavy, it must've been hours before I felt semi-normal again. I still wonder what exactly happened, my first inclination was that they'd given me some sort of drug and obviously misjudged the dosage... but maybe it was another hypnosis thing, and I was put to sleep that way? My memory is very fuzzy though, so I really couldn't say.
I hear a light knock on the door before someone opens it and walks in,
"Heyyy," Asher says as he approaches my bed, "you awake, mortal? You haven't been making any noise at all, I was getting concerned," he sits down next to me on the bed and starts stroking my hair. I manage to look up at him, he looks well-rested and I'm still a little groggy but I force myself to speak,
"I-I'm fine," my voice is quiet and a little raspy. Asher smiles at me and asks gently,
"Ahh. Well, why haven't you moved an inch the past few hours, mortal?" I stay quiet for a good moment, not sure what to say... he cups my face in his hands, making me look into his eyes. I smile nervously and let out a slight chuckle... I've gone into a compleat fawn response, this was so confusing, I don't know what to say so I just come up with the best excuse I have,
