The room was as dark and intimidating as ever. But it was comforting in a way. Now that Aidan had gotten more accustomed to the place, his first thought was to look for something at least vaguely familiar. A metallic gleam on one of the shelves caught his eye.

More so did the item next to it, which looked similar in function, but was black and made out of leather. There were two sets on display.

“Now, these I recognize.”

Cedric walked up behind Aidan, whose attention was glued to the shelf. He ran his fingers softly over Aidan’s wrist.

“Ah, good old handcuffs. You’re right to get distracted by those.”

Aidan shivered at such a light touch, turning his head to look at the culprit.

“It would be a shame to ignore them.”

As Cedric reached for both sets of leather cuffs, his chest pressed against Aidan’s back. Both men went quiet. Getting confirmation of the close proximity they had to each other was making their breathing more manual.

“I take it you want to try…?” Though he lingered for a moment, Cedric managed to take a step back.

He walked to the bed's headboard, as Aidan merely nodded in response. He watched Cedric efficiently clasp each pair to their own bedpost. Sitting down on the bed, Cedric beckoned with his hand for Aidan to join him.

“Come over here.”

A cocky grin spread across Aidan’s lips, as he took a slow and short step closer to the bed.

“…What if I don’t?”

“Come.”

He froze. Cedric’s commanding voice was enough to make that happen. And now it was getting irritatingly tight in those pants of his.

“Uh… yes, sir.”

Aidan crawled onto the mattress, letting Cedric pull his sweatshirt off.

“Your shirt hides your form way too well.” His hands moved down Aidan’s body, tracing the ridges of his abs, before pushing him down onto the soft bed.

“Mmh… well… I don’t show off as much as you do.”

Cedric’s fingers stopped short of Aidan’s pants, as his eyes narrowed.

“Am I being judged right now?”

“Maybe. Uhm, I mean, I’m just calling you confident.”

“Hmm…”

“You have good reason to be.”

Cedric found his attempts at back-pedaling amusing.

“Alright, I suppose you saved it. Sort of.”

Though the words were meant to calm him, Aidan didn’t get much time to breathe. Cedric harshly grabbed his shoulder, moving him onto his chest; the side of his face pressed against the pillows. 

Finally. That was all Aidan could think, as Cedric wrapped the black leather around each of his wrists. It was impossible not to want to try them—to pull his arms back and test their strength.

“Like it?” Cedric spoke in a hushed tone, freeing himself of his turtleneck.

“I… uh… yes…”

The whole scenario was overwhelming to Aidan’s senses. His inability to move properly. And the half-naked man on top of him, who was currently taking what looked like a whip from the shelf.

Aidan’s body kept getting warmer, as he watched Cedric run his fingers through the many tails of the toy.

“A pretty flogger, isn’t it? Leather too, of course.”

Aidan didn’t even consider admiring its design when he was more occupied with thoughts of what it was capable of. And when those strips trailed up his spine, the anticipation only accelerated. He shuddered, pushing his face deeper into the pillows.

“It’s… intimidating.”

“Not in a bad way, I hope.”

When it lightly brushed against Aidan’s jaw, a faint smile crept onto his face.

“Never… unless that’s a good thing.”

Cedric chuckled.

“Well… bad and good—that can get complex. As long as you’re into it.”

“Oh, I am…”

When Aidan couldn’t feel the flogger on his skin anymore, his eyes instinctively closed. His breath hitched, a surging feeling rising in Aidan’s stomach.

“Good.”

With no more than one word, he lashed the leather into Aidan’s back. He gasped, his body shuddering visibly from the impact.

“A- Agh-!”

The area it hit was searing, but the pain didn’t last forever, replaced with a sensation he couldn’t quite describe. One that mixed with the warmth spreading inside him.

“Ah, a nice reaction… Enjoyed that, did you?”

Aidan opened his eyes, but only halfway, his cheeks and ears a dark red.

“Again… harder.”

Cedric felt blood rush right down to his cock. What a sight.

“…If only you knew what you were doing to me.” With much more force this time, Cedric whipped the flogger against Aidan’s lower back. Aidan yelped, writhing and pulling hard at his restraints. But they were sturdy, keeping him right where he was.

However, having nothing to hold his legs down, Aidan desperately ground his clothed cock against the mattress. He didn’t get much time to try and please himself, as the red-hot pain of the tails practically branded him again.

Cedric’s smile grew when he pulled his arm back and saw the distinct marks on Aidan’s skin. And the whimper that followed the last one.

“A- Ah… Cedric… m- more…”

To Aidan’s dismay, Cedric placed the flogger down next to him.

“Don’t worry… that’s not the last you’ll see of it.” Cedric wasted no time, as he got Aidan’s pants off in two rough pulls. Aidan felt even more exposed like this. Everything was on display and he couldn’t move in any way to hide himself. But there was some relief to be found when Cedric pulled his own off as well.

“I’m way too hard for that right now…” He took a bottle of lube from the lower shelf. After covering his fingers with it, he put it back. Grabbing Aidan’s thigh with his clean hand, Cedric spread his legs out for easier access.

Cedric teased just around the rim, before slipping his fingers into the other man. Aidan quivered, a long-drawn-out moan leaving him. It felt almost too good to have—anything—inside him. It was brief though. Once Cedric had gotten to every area he felt he needed to, he pulled back out. Aidan whimpered. The emptiness was as usual; too much to handle. He suspected Cedric was intentionally teasing him.

“Please… I want to feel you… I need it.”

The red hues on Cedric’s face spread to his ears, as Aidan moved his body backwards as much as he could. His ass came close enough to press up against Cedric’s cock.

Even though it would have been fun to watch Aidan squirm for longer, Cedric couldn’t hold himself back anymore. Like the lube, condoms were very accessible from the bottom shelf. He opened one and rolled the rubber down his cock. Placing both hands on Aidan’s thighs, he dug his fingers into the man’s skin. Aidan let out a surprised moan, as he instinctively backed up to feel more of it. He could tell that that wasn't just to get a better grip. There was a certain strength to it that brought its own kind of pain. And Aidan reveled in it.

Cedric, enjoying the reaction, slowly forced himself inside. But the instant he hit as far as he could, he pulled out, before thrusting back in even deeper. A ruthless rhythm.

Aidan’s eyes were watering, as his breath hitched multiple times in his throat. His lungs were betraying him. His sounds; erratic.

Cedric let go with one hand, before letting it come back as a sudden slam against Aidan’s ass. His eyes shut tightly. The stinging pain only added to every consistent wave of pleasure that overwhelmed all his senses. It didn’t take long for a familiar sensation to rise in him. One that made his cock pulse, as precum leaked onto the mattress below.

“I- I… I’m-!” He couldn’t form any other discernible words before his body collapsed. With his eyes shut, all he saw was white. He inhaled shakily. A moan followed, as his cum colored the sheets.

But Cedric wasn’t done.

“Nngh… how dare you. Don’t you have enough self-control to wait for me?”

Aidan opened his eyes as much as he could, looking apologetically at Cedric.

“S- Sorry… How can I… make it up to you?”

Cedric swallowed, gripping his thighs tighter.

“You… demon.” He shoved himself even faster into Aidan this time, as precum dribbled down his cock. The new sped-up pace was making Aidan tremble under his strength. Despite the fact that he just came, it still felt so good to be continuously violated without a single break.

Cedric could feel himself reaching the edge, his more frantic movements making that clear. Aidan was very slowly getting aroused again, right as a sudden and harsh thrust made him pull on the cuffs’ chains. A moan escaped Cedric; louder than any sound Aidan had heard from him before. He was even trembling a bit more than usual, as he rode out the climax and slowly dragged himself out of Aidan.

“D- Don’t-! Stay…” Aidan whimpered, writhing in an attempt to feel the texture of the bed against his cock.

“Someone came a little too early. …I’ll show you exactly how you can make it up to me.” Cedric rolled the condom off, throwing it into the room’s dedicated trash can. In the corners of Aidan’s pleading eyes, his tears were drying up.

Cedric’s smile merely widened, as he picked the flogger back up. Aidan was getting more and more impatient. But seeing what Cedric was holding was enough to fuel his hope again.

“This is the only thing that’ll be touching you.” Cedric got a good grasp on Aidan’s left leg, kneading his fingers into his flushed bare thigh. Readying the shaky man below for what was to come, Cedric ran the velvet strips along his perineum. With labored breaths, Aidan’s whole body tensed up.

“H… Hurry…”

Cedric chuckled, pulling it back for a few unbearable seconds, before lashing it across Aidan’s ass. He yelped, an intense heat spreading from his reddened skin. 

Aidan enjoyed it much more than he could have imagined, made visible by the precum that leaked out with every hit.

“Got what you wanted?” Cedric watched the display in front of him with hooded eyes and deeply red features.

“Y- Yes…!”

Aidan gasped from the vicious attack that followed, before biting down on the closest thing he could reach. His teeth went into the cover of one of the pillows.

Cedric turned the flogger around in his hand. And with a smile, shoved the handle deep inside Aidan. He breached the man’s body with ease, as he pressed the tip against his prostate.

Aidan inhaled sharply, barely able to make a sound. He felt his mouth dry up. The intense surge in him was so unexpected, he couldn’t process how much of an effect it had right away.

When it was pulled back out, a heated and drawn-out moan escaped him. It was hard for Aidan to move the way he wanted to. A new feeling was spreading throughout his body. Where was he even anymore? The red lights blurred in his vision like a lens refusing to focus.

All that filled him was pain and pleasure, as he convulsed in ecstasy. A thick liquid painted the mattress below. The sight was one Cedric wouldn’t be forgetting any time soon. His hand traveled down to Aidan’s cock, so he could help him ride it out properly.

“Damn…” He didn’t know what else to say. Few looked that good when they came, but there was just something about the way Aidan moved. And the sounds he made…

After Cedric pulled his hand away, he placed the flogger back on the shelf. Aidan collapsed, still twitching after everything Cedric had done to him. He looked on with barely open eyes, as the other man unlocked the leather that bound him. His body was near impossible to move, so all he could do was study Cedric, who was placing the cuffs back and cleaning up from under Aidan’s stomach.

Lastly, he got his pants back on and sat down beside Aidan. It took some self-control to not mention the bite marks on one of the pillows.

“I know what happened to you. It’s alright… just relax.” Cedric grabbed Aidan’s shoulder and helped roll him around onto his back. Feeling Cedric’s warm hands on his skin, Aidan was quick to cling to his arm and hold him close.

“Keep… speaking to me. Let me hear your voice…”

Cedric’s lips curved up, as he placed his cheek atop Aidan’s head.

“Of course. Sorry if it gets long-winded, but let me tell you about a scenario I can’t seem to get out of my head.” He paused.

“Imagine this… It’s midnight. The moon shines over the cozy outdoor area of a beach restaurant. Stretches of sand and rolling waves. Only lit up by the dim orange light coming from inside the restaurant. There you sit, feeling the night breeze and eating some of the best food you’ve ever had. Or just a good pizza.”

Aidan let out a soft sigh and nuzzled against Cedric’s arm.

“That sounds… very calming.

“I’ve always wanted to go… But I never ended up doing it. I suppose I’ve been busy with work and enjoying my time here. …It does seem like such a nice way to spend the night though.”

With some of his strength returning, Aidan sat up close to Cedric. That didn’t change their height difference much. His head was perfectly aligned with Cedric’s neck, which he nestled into.

“Ah, now I kind of want to see that scene. You sold it too well.”

“I should know how to at this point. I’ve spent some time figuring out how to describe it.”

Aidan smiled, trailing his fingers across Cedric’s chest. He let out a sigh at the touch, looking down at Aidan with faint heat in his gaze.

“I won’t lie, when you sound like that I can’t help but be entranced by everything you say.”

“You’re really into my voice, huh?”

“How could I not?”

Cedric chuckled, noticing how that simple action was enough to make Aidan’s face even redder.

“…Do you feel more stable now?”

“Yeah. That was… something.”

Cedric pressed himself back against the pillows, as Aidan’s fingers softly traced his collarbone.

“Ah… It’s a very natural reaction to what your body has gone through. Hopefully that wasn’t too shocking.”

Aidan had to think about that for a second.

“I… kind of liked it.”

Cedric couldn’t have been more pleased with a response like that.

“Well then, Aidan. I’d like to properly welcome you to this life.”

Their eyes locked on each other.

“You’re a perfect fit.”
