Warning: This chapter contains more explicit sexual content, still with noncon/dubcon themes. By now, you've probably figured out that this is going to be a fairly dark and.. ahem.. frisky story, but I'll post a final warning— if you're under 18 or if such themes disturb you, then this isn't the story for you.
As it turned out, there was a button on the side of the bathtub that could instantly convert the stairs into a lift, in case the person wanting to bathe was incapacitated in some way. Which of course, Ruby was, as Neo had relieved her of everything except her restraints.
The panic in Ruby's heart was mounting as she realized how vulnerable she was in her current naked state. "I-I don't want this," she stammered, but her body was steadily betraying her as it sank into the hot water. Her recharged aura had successfully healed her injuries, but it had done very little to soothe the aches and pains in her body. Her head was still throbbing, if not as severely, and she shuddered and instinctively drew into herself as she remembered the harsh beating she'd received from Roman's cane.
The real world is cold.
Ruby swallowed, flinching instinctively as her thoughts whirled back to Beacon. What was happening there now? Weiss, Blake, Yang.. Pyrrha, Jaune, Nora, Ren? Had they survived the hordes of Grimm, the rogue Paladins; all of the chaos and destruction? If they had, were they searching for Ruby now? It suddenly occurred to her that she had no idea where her scroll was. It was a sickening thought.
The real world is cruel.
The bathroom of the Atlesian airship suddenly felt far too small, but everything beyond its walls was far too large. Ruby had no idea where she was now, or where she was being taken, or what was going to happen to her. She didn't even know why Neo or Roman hadn't finished her off when she'd fallen in combat. Why were they keeping her alive? What was she to them? Yes, she knew she'd foiled Torchwick's schemes a few too many times for his liking, but why not torture her and end her interference?
The real world doesn't care about spirit.
Ruby flinched when Neo gently brushed against her in the bath. She'd almost forgotten that the petite psychopath was even there, and frankly would've preferred it stayed that way. But Neo seemed to have other ideas entirely.
The smaller woman's mismatched eyes glinted impishly as she rested both hands on Ruby's shoulders, trailing them down her warm, wet skin ever so slowly. Ruby gasped when Neo's hands settled beneath her small but firm breasts, caressing them with the gentleness of a lover. N-No, this is all wrong! She's Torchwick's partner, for Dust's sake! The rational side of Ruby's mind screamed at her, desperately trying to convince her to struggle, or scream, or do anything besides sit there and let herself be fondled by a tiny murderess.
Neo seemed oblivious to the brutal war in Ruby's mind. She offered the raven-haired girl a seductively innocent smile before leaning down and brushing a soft pink tongue over Ruby's breast. She was rewarded with a shudder and a little squeal, either of frantic protest or pleasure; she couldn't tell which, and she didn't care very much.
"S-Stop! I don't want to be touched.. t-there.." Ruby's words came out sounding far weaker than they had in her mind. She despised the feeling of Neo's soft tongue dancing over her sensitive skin, forming circles around her nipple, which was becoming embarrassingly perky from the unwanted attention. The multicolored girl bit down hard and suddenly on the small bud, making Ruby squeal as pain flashed across her silver eyes.
Neo licked the very sore nipple, which eased the pain somewhat but did nothing to ease Ruby's humiliation. She leaned in close to Ruby's throat and began lavishing the porcelain skin there with kisses, giving a silent giggle at how the dark-haired girl shivered, but didn't pull away this time. Ruby's protests were fading from rather panicked shrieks to softer, hesitant murmurs.
J-Just play along, the huntress in training reasoned hazily, swallowing hard. She's never going to stop if you keep fighting her. She's insane.
Ruby bit back another protest as Neo gently settled herself on her lap. Well, at least the steaming water concealed most of their exposed skin— except it did nothing for the fact that she could still feel a certain soft, silken bum resting on her thighs. She hated the flood of warmth that filled her and made her breaths quicken.
Just play along.
It was all so alien to Ruby. She'd never been intimate with anyone in any capacity; as a matter of fact, the prospect had always embarrassed and frightened her. She knew the basics, of course, but she had the very disconcerting idea that Neo cared nothing for them.
Relax and pretend you're enjoying this. In the meantime, you can think of a way to get out of here and stop Torchwick once and for all.
Neo's absurdly gentle kisses were all over Ruby's skin, as if the dark-haired captive was a tantalizing treat that she wanted nothing more than to devour. She began to feel Ruby's muscles slowly relax until her body felt light in the water. A good sign. She shifted tactics slightly, her eyes glimmering darker shades of their usual colors as she bestowed a deep bite on the patch of Ruby's skin just beneath her right ear. Not enough to cause bleeding, but enough to leave a light bruise. A mark.
Ruby flinched and made a muffled sound. Neo's warm lips moved down to her shoulder, then her collarbone, placing more bites to the sensitive skin. Ruby shuddered and pressed herself against the side of the bath, frantically repeating Just play along! in her mind, but the pulsing heat between her legs was making it difficult to focus on anything else.
Neo returned her attention to Ruby's nipples, her soft lips finding the tiny buds and sucking on them hard. She slowly snaked her hand down and settled it just above Ruby's womanhood. She felt the dark-haired girl jolt slightly, splashing the water, but this time Ruby couldn't restrain the soft moan that fled without her permission.
In a few seconds, she felt Neo's lips collide hungrily with her own again. Ruby tried to picture Beacon, her friends, the Grimm; anything but the small and deadly woman that was currently caressing her in an extremely intimate manner. The images were dangerously blurry in Ruby's mind, some of them starting to flicker and grow white.
N-No. Resist. You don't want this!
Then why was she returning Neo's kiss so greedily? Why was she physically biting her tongue to restrain the soft moans that were threatening to spill out of her? Her own blood tasted bitter, sickening. She quickly broke away from the kiss with a sharp gasp and spit the mouthful of blood out into the water.
Neo's hand travelled just a bit lower, her gentle fingers toying ever so lightly with Ruby's folds. She felt so soft, and the small whimpers that were leaving her lips assured Neo that no matter how much she was fighting, her body was surrendering. The multicolored woman smiled and continued to gently toy with Ruby, feeling her muscles tense as her breaths grew heavier. By the gods, she was sensitive.
Circles and spirals, unfamiliar patterns, pressure. The ball of flaming heat in Ruby's stomach was dangerously close to burning her alive. She was completely vulnerable, teetering somewhere on the brink between pain and pleasure.
End this. Now! her mind screamed.
She hesitated.
Neo slipped a finger into Ruby, provoking a startled shriek that quickly melted into a moan. It was nearly impossible to picture Beacon now, the soaring tower and the blackened skies, the wings of the Grimm and the expressions of terror on her friends' faces. She tried desperately to cling to the latter, but it was all going white in her vision. The pain of Neo's intimate intrusion was fading, being slowly replaced by an ecstasy Ruby had never even known existed.
The silent psychopath kissed Ruby again, this time with far more gentleness, as she added a second finger into the captive huntress' drenched womanhood. Ruby bit her tongue hard until a flood of bitter liquid filled her mouth, fighting the pleasure with everything in her, but it was no use.
"N-Neo.."
Everything went white.
