"Good." He holds her tighter, fucks her harder. "You're beautiful and perfect and precious and so much better than I could have dreamed. I want to see you fall apart."

"My lord," she sobs, "please, please—"

"Tell me what you want."

"I want you in my cunt, I want you so bad it hurts—I want you to give me release, I know you won't and you're going to make me touch myself and I know I'm going to do it, even though I hate what you'll do to me for it—you're terrifying, you're glorious, you own every part of me and I want you to use me until I break—I'm your helpless desperate torture-loving slut and I—I love you—"

—his arms tighten far enough to snap a few ribs before he regains enough self-control to loosen them. He drives his cock into her ass, again and again until he spills his seed deep inside her, and then he goes on without pausing, using lifecraft to maintain his stamina, fucking her so hard that her hips shatter and her thighs bruise red under his hands.

Niamira screams. And then the scream chokes off into a gurgle and she coughs blood from a punctured lung.

He heals her, and then finally, finally stops.

It takes her a while to catch her interrupted breath.

But when she does, she murmurs, "I'm yours, my lord. You own my life, my body, my pain, my pleasure, and my heart."

"Mine," he agrees, running slightly shaky fingers through her hair. "My dearest treasure."

She curls up in his arms and rests her head on his shoulder.

He pets her hair and tucks his arm around her waist.

She shivers slightly.

He slides his hand down between her legs.

"Oh please my lord—"

"You know I won't give you what you're begging for. Not until you give me what you promised."

"I know, I know—oh please—but we both like it when I beg—oh please—"

"Slut," he says affectionately, stroking her with just a hint of lifecraft.

She spreads her legs and moans.

"You are such a beautiful, glorious, eloquent, desperate helpless torture-loving slut."

Incoherent whimpering.

"Talk to me, my treasure."

"I love it when you make me scream, I love it when you make me cry, I love it when you make me fear for my life, please my lord I just want you to fuck me..."

"You tempt me so." He pulls her closer, kisses the side of her neck.

"I know, my lord."

"Maybe I should punish you for that."
