"Stop it," Yusei growled while glowering up at the idiot above him.

Jack grinned at he brought the flame of the candle close to Yusei's nose. "Scared?" His word alone scalded just like the dripping candle wax.

"Put it away, Jack." Yusei hoped he sounded commanding. He found himself needing to become more assertive as Jack grew older and more…deviant. Harder to control.

"But, wouldn't it be interesting?" Jack teased.

"For you, anyway."

"For you too," Jack insists; his violet eyes narrowed.

"Yeah, when I'm screaming in pain. I wish you'd never found those books. They give you too many ideas."

Ever inquisitive Jack had found, to put it mildly, magazines of ill-repute in a lone cardboard box that was located in some warehouse he had no right being in. After goggling at the photographs, he began reading about the mechanics of pain mixed with pleasure and became totally obsessed with it.

Yusei thought that was all crap. The reason pain was classified as pain in the first place was because that it was the total opposite of pleasure. Now, Jack wanted to burn him with hot candle wax—he wanted to hurt him and also wanted him to participate.

"Are you chicken, Yusei?"

The words had their desired effect. Yusei grunted in annoyance as his temper rose. When all else failed, Jack always called Yusei out on his bravery or lack thereof. That sentence had haunted him since childhood.

Yusei gritted his teeth; pure nerve blazing in his blue eyes. "Do it then."

"I will."

Yusei hissed through his lips as the hot candle wax made contact with his skin. It wasn't really pain…more of a slow burn. Within ten seconds, the mild discomfort vanished as the candle wax cooled on his flesh into a hardened white globule.

Jack's teeth shone bright. "See? Honestly, Yusei, haven't you ever stuck your finger in hot candle wax when you were a child?"

"No. I consider myself a sane person."

Jack's eyes simmered in annoyance as he poured more candle wax on Yusei—this time on his shoulder.

Yusei wrenched away. "Hey, cut it out! You've had your fun."

Jack chuckled. "I just think this is such good foreplay."

Yusei sighed.

For Jack, it all boiled down to sex.
