044 - Interlewd II: A Punishment Lifted

It had been a momentous occasion. A long-awaited, great victory, finally brought about after years of careful planning and preparation. Finally, the dark clouds looming over their happily ever after had been dispelled. The final enemy was defeated and the future before them was full of nothing but promise. Completion, finality, a worthy goal had finally been achieved.

And yet… their final enemy was truly formidable. So much so, she honestly believed victory was impossible without sacrifices. She was… proved wrong, in the end. But it didn't change what she attempted, what she did. An act of reckless abandon that saved the day, but could've just as easily soured their victory with the bitter taste of loss.

For Nii-san is loving and greedy, and he would've never accepted a world where her life is traded for victory.

She had always been aware of that, of course. She knows Nii-san better than anyone else in the whole world. But it hadn't really registered what that truly meant until she was faced with his worry and outrage, how much her life was worth to him, how much her disregard for her own life could've ended up hurting him. And not only him, but so many other precious people she'd met along the way.

At that point, a punishment was but a given. A punishment she was ready -even eager- to accept, for she didn't deserve to be rewarded after attempting something so stupid. Though, truth be told, her intention of going through it with dignity and grace were somewhat tarnished by the actual contents of the punishment.

Nii-san can be both creative and cruel when it suits him, and everyone else… Well, everyone in this broken, wonderful household she calls home carries around their own shade of darkness, deep within.

She can appreciate getting wrapped in bondage, being deprived of all agency as her body is teased and toyed with. It's a delightful game she's played before and enjoys greatly.

She did not appreciate being shoved to the side and made to watch, barely capable of pathetically wriggling in place, painfully aware of her own body and the burning desire consuming them from within. Rendered helpless and incapable of relieving her own needs alongside her accomplice for what felt like an eternity while everyone else had their turn with Nii-san.

Tonight, she's learned how pleasure can be turned into the most sublime form of torture, one you don't want to stop but rather to take further so you'll be finally pushed over the edge to get the release your mind and body craves.

As the hours went by and the two of them were forced to watch the debauched spectacle they weren't allowed to join, she gradually felt herself getting lost in the mists of lust and desire. She desperately wanted to be in the place of these girls being brought to the highest peaks of pleasure by Nii-san's mighty rod, to become these girls delighting in the rewards she was being denied. Hell, at some point she was so hot and bothered that she wouldn't have minded taking Nii-san's place driving them crazy either!

By the time her restraints loosen and she's allowed to collapse on the floor, the darkness outside the window is starting to lighten up and her mind is little more than indistinct goop, incapable of processing anything more complex than the raw, overwhelming desire wracking her body.

As soon as her hands got free she reached between her legs, desperate to quench the burning need churning inside. She vaguely registered her accomplice by her side, reacting the same way, but her mind was hardly on that anymore. Her whole world was herself, her lust and Nii-san.

"Stop."

Her hand freezes halfway towards her destination, breath held as frustration wars against compliance. Compliance wins, of course, it's not even a struggle. She would never defy him on his face like that. But it doesn't stop her from letting out a ragged whine of frustration at being denied relief once again.

"Look at me."

Her head tilts upward without conscious input, seeking for the source of the commands. She freezes as her eyes land on his, the normally warm and loving blue gems hardened and tainted with emotions that don't belong: Disapproval, disappointment, hurt.

It's like a bucket of ice-cold water poured straight into her brain. Coherence and clarity piercing through the thick mists of desire like blades of shadow-cleansing light. The arousal that had monopolized her every thought quickly receding to the furthest recesses of her mind as the consequences of her choice sinks in once again.

"What you two did was beyond reckless." Nii-san continues sternly. "But more than that, what really hurts me is that you saw fit to go behind my back to pull off your harebrained scheme."

She wants to lower her head, to stare at the ground in shame and regret, but she cannot. She's been told to look at him. As these thoughts cross her mind, she registers a soft whine to her side with her newfound clarity, her accomplice no doubt struggling with the same dilemma.

"If Princess hadn't caught wind of what you were planning… I don't want to even think about what could've happened." Nii-san sighs, his stern demeanor melting into tired disappointment. Somehow this change makes her feel even worse. "Never scare me… No, never scare us like that again. Do I make myself clear?"

There's only one way she can answer that question, is there? "I'm sorry, Nii-san."

Her accomplice mutters similar lines at the same time, their voices somewhat blurring each other in the process, but hopefully their regret is made clear.

Nii-san doesn't immediately react to their words of apology, quietly staring down at them with a tired gaze instead. As the silence stretches, restlessness and worry grows inside her. She knows better than many that some things cannot be taken back, that people can change irrevocably after some experience. What if they had actually succeeded? What would've happened next?

"Good, I'm sorry we had to go through this, but I'm glad we had this conversation." He finally nods after a long silence, causing her to relax in relief and release a breath she wasn't even aware she was holding. "Now that your punishment is over… It's time for your rewards."

"E–Eh?"

She's still blinking in confusion, trying and failing to make sense of these words in her exhausted and lust-addled mind, when his lips are suddenly on her own. Her eyes widen in shock at the unexpected action, at the strong arms possessively wrapped around her naked body and the familiar tongue eagerly invading her mouth and cowing hers into submission, but her body reacts easily enough to the familiar actions even without input from her brain.

Her own arms wrap around Nii-san's neck, passion answered with passion as she desperately does her best to pull herself closer to him and indulge in his touch as much as possible. After what feels like both an eternity and way too little, Nii-san finally pulls away. Without his warm and strong body to use for support, she immediately collapses on all fours, a disappointed moan escaping her lips as shivers of delight run through her body. It takes her a while to recover, panting and gasping for air, while only vaguely aware that the noises to her side mean her accomplice is receiving a similar treatment to her own.

The fact she went first means she has recovered some semblance of coherence by the time Nii-san pulls back from her accomplice, getting a very familiar moan of disappointment from her too. Still unsure what's going on, she follows meekly as he puts a hand on her cheek, gently prompting her to move sideways until she's kneeling shoulder to shoulder with her accomplice.

Nii-san's blue eyes are full of love and affection as he watches over the two of them, nothing like the hurt disappointment from earlier. Haku's breath hitches when his thumb starts gently rubbing her cheek, a noise mirrored by her accomplice by her side who is surely receiving the same treatment, but they remain otherwise quiet, waiting for Nii-san to explain his actions.

… or to deliver his verdict.

"From the bottom of my heart, thank you for saving my life." Nii-san finally speaks up, voice hoarse and husky with emotion. "Try this shit again and a night of denial play will be the least of your worries."

Feeling her heart soar with relief at these words but not trusting her voice, Haku's lips part. Whether to protest, to agree or to simply laugh in relief, not even she knows. And she'll never know, because Nii-san's lips are pressed against hers again before any sound can truly escape them.

This time, things don't stop with a passionate kiss

Mashu snaps up into a sitting position with a startled gasp, knocking off the bedclothes covering her naked body. She stays like that for a while, panting for breath as she puts her thoughts in order and feels the cool air of the room on her sweat-covered skin. Usually, there's a cute set of pajamas she wears to bed, but she was feeling a bit naughty last night and she decided to try out something adventurous.

Last night, the mere idea of going to bed naked had her heart pounding and actually going through it felt like a grand feat on par with dueling a Servant. After that dream she just had, that piece of recollection from Haku-senpai's past… It just feels naive and childish. To think Senpai had so much experience, had gone to such extremes with the calm confidence of familiarity… With boys and girls both, even!

Every time Mashu dreams about Senpai's past, it's like the world becomes bigger in front of her very eyes.

There's so much to learn out there… Things she didn't even know to look for in the first place!
