Summary:
❝ HAVE THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE. . . ❞
Felix and Changbin experiment with temperature play (and Felix learns that he has a thing for having burning hot candle wax poured over his skin.)
—
The fine scent of vanilla lavender was hanging thickly in the hot bedroom air. The area felt rather stuffy to both the boy with his hands tied to the headboard, and to the boy who's eyes were dancing between the soft, flickering flame of a candle and the toned body of his lover. Even so, that aspect didn't truly register within either of their brains, as Changbin was far too busy attempting to keep himself in control, and Felix was preoccupied within a hefty daze of lust and excitement. As the tedious seconds ticked by, the freckled boy shifted the position of his wrists slightly, breathing in deeply through his nostrils, allowing the scent of the candles to mingle with each of his senses.
The Australian's heart was thumping in both anticipation and anxiousness, as this was a new experience for the both of them. The raven haired boy had been dropping subtle hints for weeks, making half-joking remarks each time they were in a store and passed by the row that contained candles. In the beginning, the younger boy hadn't been fond of the idea because he was afraid of the pain that would come along with it. But, after some research on the topic, he'd come to understand that many people took pleasure from temperature play, and considering the fact that Felix was typically one that could be greatly impacted by the weather around him, he assumed that he could quite possibly be the type of individual that could receive great arousal from having hot, melted wax dripped across his flesh.
After all, anything that Changbin wanted to do, Felix was willing to try at least once. . .
"Safe word?" The raven haired boy asked, just as he always did when the two of them were going to be trying something new and risky.
In the dim lighting of their apartment bedroom, the taller boy met his lover's eyes as he let out a slightly shaky breath.
"Red," Felix responded, turning his tied wrists ever so gently in order to alleviate some of the tension that was clawing at his skin.
Nothing had touched the blonde's flesh just yet, but even still, his face was heating up and there was a tautness in his guts. As Changbin brought forth the candle, holding it fairly high above the freckled boy's abdomen, Felix took in a sharp breath that caused his insides to contract a bit uncomfortably. The shorter boy tipped the candle to the side, watching carefully as a few drops of light purple wax spilled over the side of the glass rim, promptly coming down to meet the younger boy's skin. It took a few milliseconds more for anything to register within Felix's nerves, but when the heat set in and the small hint of pain came to be understood, the Australian could practically feel his own pupils doubling in size as they dilated considerably.
"Did it hurt?" Changbin inquired quickly once he noticed the widening of his boyfriend's eyes.
"Yes," Felix replied, a salacious tone coating his words like sugar, "but I liked it."
The taller boy's affinity for pain was, frankly, still a mystery to everyone; -including himself. At one point, he'd thought that maybe it was his subconscious mind eroticizing the harrowing trauma of his past in order to cope with it in some way, but in all honesty, Felix had simply come to the conclusion that he didn't need to understand his own desires in order to indulge them. There were theories floating around in the back of his mind, but at the end of the day, all he'd ever really know for certain was that he enjoyed being dominated, and he enjoyed being slapped, having his hair pulled, -and apparently he even went as far as to enjoy having hot wax dripped on his bare skin.
