Laying there, squirming, Dane strained to listen for Lucian over the sound of his own breathing and racing pulse. But they were thunderous in his ears and Lucian wasn't making enough noise to track him. A rustle here, a footstep there. All Dane could do was imagine what he was doing. Watching or ignoring. Either was enough to drag that deep, dark blush down to his shoulders.
The words had his mind racing. Ruined? How?! Did it come loose? But before he could gather his thoughts into something coherent, the cane snapped across his shin. He'd never felt pain on such a level before. Well, not from Lucian. He jack-knifed against the bonds, letting out a genuine howl behind the gag. It was contrast enough that the second strike pulled only a flinch and a whimper. His eyes watered behind the blindfold as the blinding white from the first blow started to fade.
A tag, attached to the lock by a bit of string, fluttered loose. Dane let out a soft sigh as the rough edges finally fell away. One side of the tag read "Suggested use: Do not unlock until Keyholder cums 32 times" in Dane's slanted handwriting. Specifically using Lucian's age. The back read, "But that's only a suggestion." Dane had written it knowing full well that reaching such a number would be difficult to achieve in the time they had. Part of him hoped it would last beyond that. But now he wasn't sure what he wanted Lucian to assume.
He let out a small whine and just nodded. So that's how he'd ruined it. But it was hard to focus on that, because now the cool air fell across the skin that pressed so firmly against those bars. It was almost as maddening as the pressure of the ribbon had been.
