Emerald eyes turned imploringly back over a pale shoulder at the dragoon behind him, not yet reduced to begging but swiftly heading in that direction. Damn Kain and his need to have absolute power in these situations. Cecil knew that this need stemmed from his best friend's perceived weaknesses, knew that the blonde needed to feel like he could control something in his life, but if that man didn't stop his teasing, the paladin was going to snap. The prince was willing to give in for this, willing to allow his guard to have the final say, because he understood how Kain used this to balance himself. But that was no excuse for the blonde to not let him release, to squeeze his sword at the hilt to forcibly restrain the seed, after what felt like an eternity in coitus. It had to have been quite a while, because the candles had nearly burnt out and they had been fresh at the start of the evening. Frankly, Cecil was in honest physical pain now, overstimulated and choking on the ecstasy boiling through his veins.

He should have given it more thought before letting the dragoon bind his arms to the head of the bed this evening, should have considered the agitated behaviors that had preceded the request. He should have known better than to think that Kain wouldn't want to savor this, should have realized that the blonde was going to keep him up all night. And, apparently, he should have considered that the dragoon might attempt to keep him on the cusp the entire time. Cecil wouldn't be making this mistake again. If Kain wanted him trussed up, then the paladin was extracting a promise about his own satisfaction coming about in a timely fashion.
