Part VII: Reward
Author: Scarlet Kozi
Smiling in contentment, Mana picked up the honey. He inched gracefully forward on the floor towards me, and I just stared at him now, slightly unnerved. What did they intend to do to me with these� these food products? I was still timid, and knowing that they were perfectly capable of hurting me further, I chose to merely await what was going to come now. I felt a bit reassured by the fact that they had said that this wouldn't hurt, but that didn't mean that it wouldn't make me feel just as bad as other things so far had, some of which hadn't brought pain so much as trauma� I felt on the verge of breaking down.
"Relax," Mana ordered me in a tone that did nothing to reassure me. He put a hand on my shoulder and leaned me against the wall again.
Then he used his other hand to carefully remove the now-cooled droplets of black candle wax from my body. I winced as he did this, and all of them saw, as well as I did, that the skin beneath the now-flicked-away droplets was a bit darker and more sensitive than the rest. Burn marks.
Mana uncapped the bottle of honey and turned it upside down over my chest. The honey felt cool and slippery the moment it hit my skin, and I shivered a little as a long golden trail was formed on my torso. Mana and Yu~ki giggled to see this, and I flushed, inwardly despising it. They were treating me like an object� like a dessert!
Mana created a round bulls-eye pattern to begin with, and placed the largest amount of honey in the center of it, in the middle of my chest. When he was done, he leaned back and set the bottle aside.
I simply remained there staring down at the honey design on my chest. I was starting to get a very bad feeling about what was going to happen next. I watched Mana and Yu~ki look at each other curiously, and then Mana rested eyes upon K�zi, giving him a smile. "Ne, to ease your mind, K�zi-chan�"
K�zi looked up at him uncertainly, saying nothing.
"Come here," Mana commanded briefly.
Obediently, K�zi began to come forward. He glided along the floor so smoothly that it barely looked as though he was moving at all. It seemed more as though he was floating. He moved like a cat. I never noticed it before today. I watched him with a similar uncertainty in my eyes, not sure what would happen.
Mana thought to himself for a minute. "Yu~ki, we should save you for your little chocolate game, I think."
Yu~ki smiled brightly. "Good point!"
Mana surveyed me for a long moment, his eyes roving up the golden honey pattern on my chest. Then he glanced at K�zi, having come to a decision. "All right, you'll do it, then, K�zi-chan."
I almost thought about inching away, but then K�zi was kneeling by my side, so close to me that the heat of his body pulsed against me. He was merely obeying Mana's orders, I knew that, and yet, there seemed to be some magnetism between his body and mine. He never seemed to mind being near me, as he minded being near them, since he feared their violence. Maybe it was only because he didn't have to fear me� or�
Mana moved back to go and sit with Yu~ki. The two of them laid themselves out, apparently taking a short break, preparing to luxuriously watch the little show. Mana glanced at K�zi expectantly. "Well?"
K�zi looked at him. "Hai, Mana-sama?"
"Lick it up."
My eyes widened. K�zi's gaze flickered down to see that, to see my surprise and my slight unsettlement, and he seemed to not want to do this because of it. He didn't want to make me uncomfortable. "But Mana-sama, I'm sure that�"
"Don't defy me!" Mana snapped at him. "You know how to do this. You've done it before. All you have to worry about is rewarding him. Bring him some pleasure. That isn't so hard, is it? We're not asking you to hurt him." He frowned, and gestured with his fingers. "Now get started. Lick it up."
K�zi gave a small sigh, and his eyes became apologetic as they glanced down at me. He put a hand on my stomach to steady himself, where there was no honey. I only stared back up at him. What was going to happen? I couldn't find the words to ask him, however, as he tried to think of where to begin. His fingers caressed my flesh slightly, maybe to reassure me as he shifted closer, and then, he ducked his head and went for the honey.
His tongue made contact with my skin. I gasped and immediately tried to squirm.
After all, I couldn't help it. When it felt good and there was no pain involved, my body wanted more. His breath was very warm, and the motions of his tongue were surprisingly talented. Sometimes he would use long graceful licks to lap up the honey, other times a rhythmic, methodic, feline procedure. He started on the very outside of the bulls-eye pattern that Mana had drawn, making it smaller and smaller on both sides.
I stared down at him, trying not to get aroused, but I succeeded not in the least. My body was straining for more. It felt so good! I came to the rapid conclusion that this was still torture, because of the fact that I could hardly move, thanks to the chains, to touch him or push his head to where I wanted it.
As his tongue slid over the surface of my skin, I felt little electric sensations course through me. There was almost nothing like this, nothing like having a warm moist tongue gliding around on my oversensitive chest.
We both heard Mana's voice. "K�zi-chan," he said, to get K�zi's attention.
K�zi paused for a moment, coming up for air. "Hai, Mana-sama?"
Mana gestured again, having thought up another idea. "Let him suck on your fingers."
Before obeying, K�zi glanced at me one last time. When he saw that I was clearly enjoying myself, panting as I gazed at him unsurely through half-lidded eyes, he seemed to become slightly reassured. As long as he knew that he was making me feel good� He brought his hand up from my stomach for a moment and dipped two of his fingers into the small puddle of honey in the center of my chest, which he had left untouched so far. Now the upper joints of those two fingers were soaked in thick golden liquid, and he studied them for a moment, swallowing unsurely.
Then he held his hand up in front of my face. Mana let his own voice act for K�zi's, and ordered me, "Suck."
This sounded suspiciously like the command I'd been given when I was kneeling in front of K�zi before, but luckily for me, this chore didn't sound nearly as terrifying. At least it was only fingers that I was supposed to suck now, and fingers that were drenched in honey, and not someone's semen. That was a bit of a relief. At first I wasn't sure whether I could bring myself to do it, but K�zi grew worried for me, fearing what would happen if I disobeyed Mana. To help me along, to help me obey, he slid his other hand down my stomach and started to gently stroke the sensitive flesh where my inner thigh met my body.
I gasped hard. He had lowered his head and started to lick again, so I was being attacked sweetly in two ways. His tongue was stroking the area close to my side, which was almost ticklish, while his fingers stroked the area that was dangerously close to my pleasure center.
I couldn't take it anymore. I needed something to concentrate on! The chains gave enough slack to reach out and take hold of K�zi's wrist, but I had to lean forward in order to get close enough. I pulled his arm towards me and took his slender fingers into my mouth, sucking hard on them. I would have thought that if he was a guitarist, they would have been callused, but they were so soft, and the honey only added to that.
Every stroke of my tongue seemed to make K�zi's eyes become just a bit more half-lidded, until he was nearly closing them. He was struggling to find the concentration to keep licking at my skin, while I was affecting him like this. He seemed to want to moan, but he bit on his lip, knowing he was supposed to be silent.
There was still more honey for him to get, though, so he went back to that.
I didn't know how he knew, but even before all of this, I'd always had an extremely sensitive body. During sex in the past, practically any caress in a remotely personal area could have made me moan, which had always delighted my partners to no end. K�zi seemed to have discovered this.
First he gently began to massage my stomach, sliding his fingers around as he lapped up the honey from my chest. He must have been used to pleasuring people, because he was very good at it, I had to admit. His touches were soft, merely brushing my skin like the wings of a butterfly at first, but then they became more firm and more skilled, kneading the muscles of my stomach. I arched my back a little, and then, encouraged as he licked an area up near my collarbone, he moved his hand downwards.
Meanwhile, I continued to suck on his fingers, gripping his wrist as though I would never let go. In my heart I was still confused, but it was too difficult to let my heart rule me right now.
The moment that K�zi slid his hand near my hip, I let out another little whimper around his fingers. I glanced down and saw that he was watching me as he licked my skin and caressed me, as though studying me for my reactions. He found that every time he moved his hand low enough, it made me flex and jump a little bit, so he took advantage of it. He brought his hand back to where it had been before, caressing the inner junction of my thigh and my body, coming so close to what I wanted him to touch�
His hands were so soft, so gentle, but I couldn't tell just what the emotions that I felt in them were. Desire? Affection? No, that couldn't be. They weren't hostile, at least. As he continued to touch that sensitive area, I could hardly stand it.
I tilted my head back, and only let K�zi's fingers slide out enough to push against my lip for a moment as I moaned out, "K-K�zi� Onegai�"
K�zi grazed his teeth lightly against my collarbone, and I could feel his body shiver against mine when I said his name. It was as though he honestly wanted to please me. I wasn't sucking on his fingers anymore, for there couldn't possibly have been any honey left anywhere on them. The taste lingered in my mouth. I kept on gripping his wrist desperately, and I writhed slightly as he kept on stroking me in that torturous place. I needed something to hold on to. I just hoped that I wasn't hurting him, by digging my fingers too hard into his skin.
"K�zi-chan," Yu~ki's voice ordered, "do that� ano� you know, that thing. The hand thing. What's that called?" he mused, to Mana.
Mana sounded as though he was shaking his head. "It doesn't matter. He knows what you mean. Do it, K�zi-chan. That thing Gackt used to love."
Now K�zi moved his tongue to that circle of honey in the center of the bulls-eye that he had ignored. And then, just when my moans were starting to get a little loud, he moved his hand back a little, farther down my thigh. I caught my breath in disturbed surprise, and saw as he stuck his hand above my legs in a flat position, as though preparing for something. I wanted to beg him not to stop. Whatever "that thing, the hand thing" was, he was about to do it.
Abruptly K�zi thrust his hand between my thighs, hard. This wasn't painful at all! It filled me with a sudden wave of pleasure. I squealed, "K�zi!" and gripped his hand so hard that I was most likely pressing his bones together.
Meanwhile, K�zi's tongue sped up on my chest as he licked from the center, and he prepared his hand like that again. The moment was like a simulation of sex, shoving something hard against my length, between my legs, like that. I was gasping for air, in disbelief of the strong sensation that I'd just felt, but he did it again. Quickly he shoved his hand up there, holding it flat, over and over.
I moaned out each time, shocked, and finally K�zi let out a little gasp of pain. I realized that I was hurting him, so immediately I released his wrist.
"That's enough," Mana's voice informed K�zi. "He's had enough of that, I think. Too much will make him come earlier� and he'll break your wrist."
K�zi merely nodded, looking down. That hand paused itself on top of my thigh. By now he had finished of all the honey in the center of my chest, and it looked as though nothing was left. He had an excuse to stop, but for some reason, he almost seemed a bit reluctant. I took a long breath, relieved that I had a few moments to compose myself.
K�zi leaned back a bit, about to rest also, but Yu~ki saw something that he didn't. "You're not through yet!" he objected with a frown to K�zi. "Not all the honey is gone yet. Mana told you to lick it all up, remember?"
K�zi blinked and looked down, not having noticed that he had left anything there. He at last spotted a place where a tiny smidgen had been ignored so far. When Mana and Yu~ki set their eyes upon him, K�zi pushed his hair back and leaned down again. He stuck out his tongue and raked it across my nipple, absorbing the last traces of honey.
Immediately I cried out again. "A-Ah!"
"Use more," Mana ordered K�zi.
Obediently K�zi picked up the bottle of honey, pouring a generous amount directly over my sensitive nipple. The honey was cold on my warm skin, and I gasped again, biting down hard on my lip. K�zi leaned down and licked harder than before, his tongue swirling around the small protrusion, bringing the honey into his mouth and swallowing it easily. There were some traces left that his tongue alone couldn't get, so K�zi closed his lips around my nipple, sucking harder and harder, sliding his free arm around my back to steady me against his mouth.
I arched my back. "Ohhh� K�zi, please�"
K�zi loosened his grip on me slightly, almost hesitantly, wondering whether I wanted him to stop. I was struggling feebly, but not because I wasn't enjoying it. As Mana had ordered, K�zi was sucking so hard on my nipple that he almost did hurt me. He grazed his teeth against it, and licked vigorously around it, breathing purposefully on it.
Then we both felt a new presence, and paused, gasping for air.
Mana had come over and sat himself on my other side, so that he and K�zi were framing me almost like bookends. K�zi eyed Mana uncertainly, not sure what he would do, and I could hardly think. Noticing K�zi's anxiety, Mana shot him a frown. "Don't stop," he said briefly. "I want to try something."
Mana picked up the honey. He opened up the bottle and poured some honey on his fingers again, rubbing them together to make sure that they were thoroughly soaked, all the way. Then he set the bottle aside and moved away from my side, pushing one of my knees out of the way so that he could crawl between them.
I shifted a little bit, alarmed, wondering why he was going between my legs. K�zi knew that I couldn't escape, however, and to comfort me, he moved his free hand to play with my other nipple while he sucked on the first. His fingers rubbed me at first, then encircled me, or pinched me lightly, but always gently. I was lost in the shock of this feeling, and I wasn't really paying attention when Mana began to work.
Then, however, I cried out with pain and surprise. Mana was caressing my entrance with fingers that dripped honey, starting to try and nudge one of them inside.
"Mana-sama� please!" I managed to gasp out, trying to beg him to stop. I wanted him to get away from that area immediately. Just thinking about it made me upset, to remember that I'd been violated there twice already. I didn't want his fingers there, when I felt so ashamed about it. "Not there�"
Mana glanced up at me, ignoring my words, and then back down again. "You're being rewarded, dorei-chan. Remember that."
My breath was pushed out of my body rapidly and raggedly when he slid one slick finger inside me. It probed around for a minute, stretching me, and then pushed upwards. "Mana-sama�!" I hoped blindly and desperately that he didn't make me start bleeding again. The last thing that I wanted was for Yu~ki to see my blood and practically go insane again. It didn�t hurt� YET.
K�zi heard my gasp and looked up. His eyes followed mine downwards and then saw what Mana's fingers were doing. He shot a disapproving frown at Mana, shocked, as though he didn't want this to happen either. But all he could do now was try to soothe me, which he did by licking and touching me even more gently. He caressed the back of my neck, rubbing at it now.
He moved his lips towards my ear, so that only I could hear him. "Relax," he whispered. "Please, you have to relax� if you don't want it to hurt."
I could hardly listen to him. He tried to get me to meet his eyes, this time being the one seeking out my gaze whereas before it had been hard for him to even look at me. Finally when I found it in myself to look into his eyes, he kissed me softly, and my hands rushed to pull him to me.
Again, my body tried to purge the intruder, but Mana wasn't so easily dissuaded. He flexed that first finger inside me a few times, lubricating me with honey. I whimpered with pain each time he moved it, as K�zi touched his forehead to mine, trying to calm me down. The feeling was more surprising than anything right now, and I moved my hands to grip the chains binding them hard. If I couldn't hold someone's hand, all I had left were the chains.
Mana waited a moment or two, and then slid another finger in. I tried hard to muffle a scream. "Ah!"
K�zi leaned down to kiss my collarbone, still rubbing the back of my neck gently. "Shh�"
Mana continued to spread my entrance with those two fingers, exploring me with a thoughtful, concentrated expression on his face. I let out more whimpers and gasps each time he searched me, and I could tell what he was looking for. Half of me hoped that he would find it and put an end to this pain, and the other half hoped that he wouldn't, so that he would give up and leave me alone. Either way, I wanted it to stop.
K�zi could feel my trembling, as I shivered against him. He drew himself up slightly, sliding his hands up my chest and past my throat to cup my face, and he kissed me softly on the lips again. "Shhh," he whispered a second time. Then he fell silent, looking deeply at me. "You're so beautiful�"
I stared into his eyes, unable to look away.
Then Mana slipped a third finger into me. I bit into my lip so hard that blood sprung to it. K�zi spotted this and frowned a little with worry, then, with his fingers, carefully brushed it away. His hand lingered there for a moment, and against my better instincts I almost felt tempted to bite down on it like I did my lip, just for something to focus on to take my mind off of all this torture. I couldn't believe how painful it was!
Without waiting this time, Mana finally shoved his fourth finger into me violently. And it hurt so much that this time I actually wailed.
Abruptly my vision blacked out, and for a second I didn't see K�zi's face in front of me. When I screamed out, "Ahhhh!" it must have gone right into his ears. My eyes flew open, no matter how unseeing, and my voice broke as it rose in that same shrill cry of pain.
K�zi jumped, startled, and looked almost panicked suddenly.
I felt a little ripping sensation inside of me, a distinct one, since I knew that my flesh was torn apart, and I felt more moistness as though I was bleeding again. I was bleeding, I must have been! Four fingers was much too large for someone as inexperienced as me! Having both Mana and Yu~ki thrusting into me earlier didn't stretch me as much as this. I couldn't even blink, the pain was so great, and I lowered my hands to grip K�zi's shoulders now, not hard enough to hurt him yet, but enough to keep myself from fainting. "A-Ahh�!" I could hardly see.
K�zi, once again, tried to keep me conscious by having me look into his eyes. His features were so blurry� I could tell that he was frowning, searching me desperately, but even though I was gazing at him, shaking like a wet dog, I could barely make him out. K�zi came very close to me. "Klaha�!"
My lips parted and a shaky breath rolled out of them. "N-No�" I could only murmur.
K�zi seemed relieved that I was all right, at least, even as I collapsed against him. He pulled me to him, holding me tightly for a moment, as my cheek rested on his shoulder and I stared into the darkness, my vision whirling. Tears rolled out of my eyes onto his skin.
K�zi pressed a hand to my hair and looked back over his shoulder at Mana, who hadn't removed his fingers in the slightest. His words were pleading, but as a contrast, he frowned at Mana and looked almost angry, and his tone sounded upset. All the while he stroked my hair to try and soothe me even though I was shaking even harder now. "Please, Mana-sama! I thought you were rewarding him, not punishing him� You said that you wouldn't make it hurt. He's not like Gakuto. He doesn't like pain."
"I know that." Mana gave him a sharp look, still searching around with his four honey-soaked fingers inside of me. "What I'm planning to do is bring him pleasure. But to do that, he's going to have to feel a little pain first."
K�zi seemed to understand his meaning and what he wanted to accomplish. He nodded reluctantly, though he still looked upset. He glanced back at me and his expression softened again.
I gazed up at him, my eyes begging him to save me, as I trembled. I didn't know what came over me, or what possessed me to think that it was right to ask K�zi to try to help me, but another tear rolled down my cheek and I held him tighter, needing his support. I whispered, "Stop him� Please, don't let him do it�"
"Klaha�" K�zi swallowed hard. Worse things had happened to me so far, really, but I had never really gotten a chance to see his face until now, when another similar event was occurring. He looked so� distressed. Perhaps he had been trying to hide that from me before. He began to stroke my hair from my eyes gently, and he kissed my forehead. "Shh, shh�"
At last, Mana found what he was looking for. His fingers brushed against a spot inside of me that suddenly made me moan. Even I hadn�t expected to do it. A moment ago I was screaming, but suddenly I felt a pleasure even more intense than I felt when Mana and Yu~ki were actually inside of me themselves. The sound that came out of me was both surprised and pleasured, still a bit pained.
K�zi blinked, seeing that Mana had succeeded. He relaxed just a little, hoping that perhaps it wouldn't hurt me so much anymore.
Mana began to slide his fingers in and out of me, almost letting them slip out entirely but catching them just in time. He started up a slow rhythm with my hips, sometimes hitting that spot again and making me gasp, other times missing it or not going in deep enough, so that the pain made me wince and beg for him to stop. He'd told me that I would begging for more, but it was hard when unless he was bringing me pleasure, the endless pain came back to shock me.
K�zi held me now, sliding his arms around me. He nearly climbed on top of me so that he could embrace me. He was still trying to comfort me, trying to ease me through this. His grip was tight and gentle at the same time, and he encouraged me to hold him also, which I did. My arms grasped him as I tried to concentrate on staying conscious, and it was almost hard for me to notice as K�zi kept kissing me, gently, over and over.
But whenever Mana hit that spot I moaned out through K�zi's lips, and whenever he didn't, I whimpered in pain.
At last, though, my moaning was growing louder and louder, and I could feel the fact that I was getting dangerously aroused. All I wanted was for this torture, these conflicting emotions, to end, so that I could feel release and not have to worry about feeling this anymore. I almost wanted to go back to pleasuring them. Doing work was less intense than feeling pain, or pleasure like this, which was so similar to pain. I tried to stifle my moans, but couldn't.
Yu~ki, who had been watching all of this, observed my growing state of excitement and decided to protest. "Oi, don't work him up too much. You'll make him come too early."
Reluctantly, Mana stopped and nodded. "You're right."
Therefore, he slowly started to slide the fingers out of me. My entrance had stretched so much by this point that this mere gesture of removing them was enough to make me begin quivering violently again, overtaken with pain. My nails dug into K�zi's shoulder as he held me. If I was hurting him at all, he ignored it, and concentrated entirely on touching me tenderly and stroking my skin. "Daijoubu� It's almost over�" he whispered to me. "Just hold on."
Finally Mana's fingers came out of me, slipping out at last, and I hissed my breath inwards, gasping. K�zi kissed my lips again, pulling away just slightly, in order to reassure me.
Mana's fingers were dripping, with what I could recognize as smeared honey and some traces of my blood. Without saying anything, Mana carefully cleaned himself off, running his tongue over his fingers again and again until they were dry and clean once more. Then, he moved back to go and sit next to Yu~ki, leaving me panting behind him.
I sat there stunned for a moment, my lips parted, unable to believe what had happened and what kind of strange shivers were running up and down my spine. Breaking down, I collapsed against K�zi and buried my face in his chest, gripping his shoulders, sobbing again. It was odd to think I had hardly ever cried before tonight, and yet now, I was unable to stop. I felt K�zi stiffen up slightly, as though he was too shocked to do anything at first, and I knew that he was staring down at me in alarm. Then his body gave a little shiver also and he suddenly clasped me, tightly.
"Klaha� don't cry!" he whispered. He sounded so heartbroken. I didn't understand this at all! Why was he so sorry for me? Why did it hurt him so much when I cried? Why wasn't he used to all this by now, after having helped Mana and Yu~ki train their slaves for years? I didn't understand� He sounded as though he would start crying too. "Please, I can't stand it!"
Mana settled himself next to Yu~ki, apparently unfeeling to my tears, except for a bit of exasperation which he demonstrated in a roll of his eyes. Shooting another warning look at K�zi, he ordered him over his shoulder, "K�zi-chan, calm him down, would you? This is ridiculous."
K�zi flinched, then looked up at Mana. There was some strange mix of emotion in his eyes, and then, unsurely, he looked down at me, only inches away from my face.
I could hardly meet his eyes as I struggled to contain myself, my chest convulsing. I didn't want to make this any harder on him. But the few times I managed to look up at him, I could see heart-wrenching examination there, and a bit of pain, as though he despised seeing all this happen to me. He was trying to evaluate whether I was all right, since half of that so-called reward had been pain and not pleasure. Apparently, he saw something that disturbed him in me, for then he nodded to Mana without complaint or resistance. "Hai, Mana-sama."
He touched my face again, as my hands still dug into his shoulders, and tried to make me look at him. I couldn't bear it. Stifling a whimper, I turned my face away, sobbing silently.
K�zi swallowed, affected by seeing me like this, and a little bit hurt at how injured I was. He searched around with his eyes for a moment, and spotted the honey. Before acting, he leaned closer and buried his face in my neck. I was startled, and stiffened up for a moment, choking back a gasp. But K�zi was only disguising his actions as being sexual. From where Mana and Yu~ki were sitting, they probably saw this as K�zi licking at my neck, or something like that, whereas he was only trying to secretly whisper in my ear.
"I'm sorry� Please. Just let me try to help you�"
I was too surprised to vocally respond, and tears still ran down my face. The dull distraction of the pain was enough to keep me from really reacting to this. But K�zi leaned back and reached for the honey. I was almost a bit relieved, somewhere in my mind. My skin felt hot and feverish, bruised and ripped open, and the honey had been so cool and relieving when they had put it on me last. Besides, I knew that K�zi wouldn't hurt me�
K�zi glanced from me to the honey bottle in his hand to me again, as though trying to measure out his plan as quickly as possible so that he could tend to me immediately. Again, I looked away from him, squeezing my eyes shut, so I didn't see him when he came closer. But Mana's and Yu~ki's eyes were probably on him, and so, making sure that he didn't speak too loudly, he said in a low tone of voice, "Open your mouth."
"N-Nani?" I whispered, sniffling hard, leaning my forehead against his shoulder. No, I was too tired, I didn't know what to do anymore� Much as I would like to cooperate with him, I just couldn't do it right now.
K�zi, however, shook his head and gently lifted my chin again, then moved closer and shifted one leg around my body. This way, he was basically straddling my waist, almost sitting on my thighs. It was a bit easier like this, when he was directly facing me as opposed to coming at me from the side like before. He was propping me up and holding me against him, and I flushed slightly. "Open your mouth," he repeated softly, his eyes trying to persuade me.
My body almost felt like it would cave in from the force I was exerting to stop crying. I didn't know why, but the tears wouldn't stop coming, and my chest kept trembling hard, trying to force me to sob. I wanted to. But I swallowed hard and opened my mouth, fighting for air, my face wet. I kept my lips parted wide when K�zi brought the honey bottle right up to my face. It was still uncapped, so he had nothing to do but pour.
I almost swallowed again impulsively when the first of the honey oozed down into my mouth and onto my tongue. But I forced myself not to, as K�zi allowed a significant amount of it to cover my tongue and teeth, forming a small pool in my mouth. Partially I wanted to just close my mouth and stop this before he asphyxiated me, but I knew that he wasn't trying to do that. So I breathed out of my nose instead, as hard as it was, and I kept myself still.
K�zi set the bottle down and reached up with his other hand to gently hold my face.
No! Why did he have to look at me like that? Did he know how confused I was? Or how much this hurt me? Even I couldn't explain it, but something was so painful about seeing the anguish in his eyes. I couldn't bear to look at him anymore, I couldn't take this� Though I didn't swallow, I closed my mouth and began to silently quake with sobs again, turning my face away.
"No," K�zi whispered softly, as though begging me. "Klaha, please�"
And I felt his fingers on my chin again. In one swift motion, he lifted my face up and leaned forward with closed eyes. I stared at him, at his fluttering eyelashes, at the perfect strands of hair that were his slender, neatly combed eyebrows, and it all happened so quickly. Before I could sob another time, K�zi pressed his lips against mine.
I froze there, my sobs ceasing. All of a sudden my body lost the willpower to cry. My mind wanted to cry, but my body didn't agree now. K�zi merely kissed me for a moment, like that, lips upon lips, as I remained utterly still, the honey remaining in my mouth. I continued staring at his face, and after a moment, his eyes slowly drifted open, and they seemed glazed, as though by intoxication or euphoria. He looked straight at me for a moment, without pulling away, and then he closed his eyes again, kissing me more deeply.
He parted his lips and, gently, his tongue probed at mine, sliding along the line which separated them, silently requesting my help. I opened my mouth slightly. K�zi's tongue slid past my lips and started to draw the honey from my mouth into his own. He started with my tongue, first touching it with his own and licking it smoothly, but then he pressed his lips against mine and started sucking on my tongue itself. When that was free of honey, he reached into the nooks and crannies of my mouth and licked all the honey from those hidden areas. He licked at my teeth last, and ran his tongue along my gums, carefully.
By now, I truly had calmed down. I was breathing more evenly now, no sobs coming to hamper my intake of air, and� K�zi was being very cautious with me� so my heartbeat was calming down.
Even after all the honey was gone, and K�zi had gulped it all down with a slight amount of my saliva, he still seemed reluctant to leave me alone. Whether it was because he was worried that the others would hurt me or whether he just wanted to be with me, I wasn't sure yet. He kept on kissing me for a long moment, his tongue caressing my own and almost sweetly stroking my mouth. It almost felt nice. But then Mana's hand came down on K�zi's arm.
"That's enough, K�zi-chan. You did a good job."
Unwillingly, K�zi pulled his lips away from mine and took a long sigh to get his breath back. At the same time, I began taking long deep breaths. K�zi looked up at Mana helplessly, as he said, "Mana-sama�"
And Mana realized why his voice sounded a bit hesitant and imploring, glancing down and seeing that K�zi was just as aroused as I was. K�zi was trying to express that he was in great discomfort, like me. Mana almost smirked a little bit and patted K�zi on the head. "We'll take care of you later, K�zi-chan. Yu~ki needs a turn with Klaha now."
K�zi disengaged himself from me, the chains rattling as he propped me against the wall again. I could feel him trembling slightly, and realized that he really did need to be relieved, and soon. K�zi looked back at me almost longingly for a minute, but there was more than lust in his eyes. Then for the time being, he allowed Mana to lead him to take Yu~ki's place as Yu~ki came over to me.
Now that Yu~ki was in charge, he pushed the honey away, and reached for the chocolate syrup, naturally. "The only thing that tastes better than blood," Yu~ki told me now, as I merely blinked at him, "is chocolate. Remember that, ne, dorei-chan?"
"H-Hai, Yu~ki-sama." I couldn't help but wince at the sneer in his tone. Having him call me that was strange. And I could only remember to myself that Yu~ki always did like chocolate. Though in the past I would only find myself introduced to this because when walking on the streets, he would stop in front of bakery windows and stare at chocolates that he liked, absent-mindedly. Things were much, much different now.
Yu~ki surveyed me for a moment, deciding how he would go about this. Then he picked up the bottle of chocolate syrup and uncapped it, moving forward. A mischievous smile came over his face, and he spread my knees so that he could sit innocently on the floor between my legs, although I began to flush again, feeling frightened. If he was going anywhere near my anus, I felt the distinct inclination that I would scream, without being able to control myself.
But Yu~ki touched one finger to my forehead, tilting my head back against the wall. "Stay."
I stayed. "Hai, Yu~ki-sama," I whispered.
Yu~ki made certain not to get any chocolate in my hair. He took the bottle and started pouring the syrup just at the edge of my hairline, in the exact center of my forehead, not too far to the left or right. He carefully let a thin, precise line of chocolate trail down my forehead, down my nose, over my lips, just past my chin, and down my throat.
When he met my collarbone, he continued, letting some pour into my clavicle, which I had always considered to be too prominent in the past, since I was too thin. He kept going to extend the perfect line down the middle of my chest, over my navel, and finally, though I quivered a little bit, he let a slightly more significant amount of chocolate pour onto my hardening length. Then, and only then, did he stop.
Once again, I didn't dare breathe, so afraid was I of moving and causing some of the chocolate to drip out of place. My eyes glanced at Yu~ki pleadingly. Why did I suddenly long for the gentleness of K�zi's arms again�?
Yu~ki's eyes fell on me, the object of his desire, lined with chocolate, which was his second desire. He looked very hungry. "You look good like that, dorei-chan."
I was about to open my mouth in order to meekly respond, out of instinct not to deserve another whipping, burning, or beating, "Arigato, Yu~ki-sama," but Yu~ki shook his head quickly, stopping me before I could even begin. "No, don't talk! You'll ruin it."
Therefore, I swallowed very carefully without moving my lips, and remained still.
My body was perfectly divided in half with that line of chocolate. It separated me into right and left, but the sides didn't really matter. What Yu~ki wanted was the chocolate on my body. Between my legs, he put one hand on either side of my thighs to steady both of us as he leaned up. He closed his eyes as I watch him, my gaze faltering a bit, and he started to lick at the chocolate from the top.
He licked from my hairline down. I closed my eyes instinctively because of how close his tongue was to them, when he was licking away the chocolate from the bridge of my nose, but my eyelashes fluttered open again when he sucked on the tip of my nose.
"Mmm." Then Yu~ki noticed the drying trail of blood on the side of my face. "While I'm at it�"
He licked up the blood also, and gave an apparent little smile of cruel delight at the mixture of tastes. Without knowing how, I just knew that blood would be involved here somewhere, if Yu~ki was. "Scratch that," he said huskily in my ear, making me shiver. "What tastes the best is chocolate and blood together." And he kept moving down.
Yu~ki licked the slight slope between my nose and my lips, and then, instead of licking, merely pressed his mouth deeply against mine. He had kissed me today, before now, but there was something even more strange about kissing Yu~ki than kissing K�zi or Mana. I had known Yu~ki the longest, and he knew the most about me, even if we weren't exactly friends. I had always been attracted to him, but I'd only dreamed about kissing him, and it had never actually happened. Now he kissed me intensely, so intensely that I would have thought he'd poured chocolate inside my mouth as well as out, as K�zi did the honey, but that wasn't the case. Yu~ki was careful, however, not to upset my balance and risk the destruction of his masterpiece.
After a few seconds, he stopped kissing me and moved down. He tilted my head up and licked my throat clean, around the collar, and then my collarbone, then down my chest. At one point he diverged from his path to nibble on one of my already-sensitive nipples, causing me to gasp.
Yu~ki then met with my stomach, and licked me very sensuously and slowly with his tongue here. He even let his tongue sneak into my navel and roughly lap the chocolate from inside. I started quivering a little bit again, and rather than risk it, Yu~ki decided to keep going.
At last, he had licked my abdomen clean. Studying my erection again, a smile spread across his face as he held my hips.
Slowly, painfully slowly, he started licking away the chocolate from my erection. My eyes widened and I bit my lip hard, muffling a whimper. Yu~ki glanced up at me as he did this, externally licking the last of the chocolate from my length, never once taking me into his mouth even though my hips slid forward pleadingly on their own. I shuddered violently. Were the two of them really trying to torture me? They kept doing this, getting me aroused and then refusing to allow me to feel release.
"Y-Yu~ki-sama�" I whimpered. I was completely spotless once again, but Yu~ki ran his tongue along my erection again anyway.
Mana suddenly appeared next to Yu~ki, having abandoned K�zi somewhere behind him. Mana gave Yu~ki a look that was fond but scolding. "Ne, Yu~ki, don't tease him when he clearly wants it so much. We're rewarding him, remember?" He was not one to talk, but that didn't concern him now.
"Oh?" Yu~ki raised an eyebrow at him, glancing up.
Mana merely regarded Yu~ki with a tiny smile and a raised brow.
Yu~ki slowly smiled back, wiping his mouth and moving away, taking the bottle of chocolate syrup along with him. As he capped it shut and closed the bottle of honey too, leaving me staring after him, he spoke to Mana. "Well, I won't stop you, since you clearly want to be the one to finish him off," he said, mocking Mana lightly. He pushed the bottles aside and smiled again.
Graciously, Mana kissed his cheek. "Arigato."
"Of course."
I stared at Mana, who crept up to me now�
