Renka’s jaw dropped. She seemed dumbfounded that I could act so nonchalantly after locking her in a cage. She stared up at me blankly, then bit her lip and turned away, refusing the popcorn.
“Come on, eat.”
“…Are you seriously ill? Do you have some kind of mental illness…?”
“Why?”
“Why…? Do you think this is something a normal person would do…?”
“The other day you called this… my preferences.”
“Your preferences… So that’s it…? You actually like this kind of thing?”
You like it too. You just haven’t realized it yet.
“I wouldn’t say I ‘like’ it, but you suit this so well…”
“Th-that’s ridiculous…! This suits me? Me being like this?”
“Yes. You’re beautiful.”
Renka’s face flushed slightly at my compliment. She seemed to sense my sincerity. I didn’t expect her to be embarrassed in this situation… Impressive. As expected of a good slave. Your master is pleased to see you adapting so quickly.
I took a caramel-covered popcorn and held it out to her through the bars.
“Open wide.”
“What…? Are you crazy…?”
“Don’t you want to go home early?”
Renka squeezed her eyes shut at my thinly veiled threat. Frustrated, she gritted her teeth, brought her face closer, and opened her mouth. I popped the popcorn in, and she chewed.
“Is it good?”
“…”
“It is, isn’t it?”
“It’s good…! It’s good…!”
“Want another one?”
“No…!”
“You say it’s delicious, but you don’t want another one? Alright.”
I shrugged and went back to the bed, lying down comfortably.
Let’s see what happens now.
I wasn’t going to ignore her completely. While she wasn’t used to this kind of play yet, I myself didn’t have much experience with it either, so I intended to be as accommodating as possible.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
Renka quieted down about 30 minutes into the movie. Trapped in a cage with no way out, her only option was to watch the film.
*smack!*
[Ow! Bastard…! That hurt…!]
The man in the movie was startled by the woman’s complaint after being whipped on the chest and put down the whip.
[Y-you told me to whip you…! Does it hurt?]
[I didn’t tell you to hit me that hard! B-but… it feels… strange…]
[And why are you talking casually to me…? You should call me Master.]
[Oh, right…]
The two characters, new to BDSM, were awkward in their play. It was a comical yet erotic scene. Not bad. But why was this rated R15+? It should be R18+.
I kept my eyes on the TV and glanced at Renka out of the corner of my eye.
“…Ugh… This is annoying…”
She was shifting around inside the cage, trying to find a comfortable position on the hard floor. She tried lying down, using her arm as a pillow, and turning over. But she didn’t take her eyes off the TV, suggesting she was finding the movie quite interesting.
I was glad to see her adapting and enjoying herself. I hoped to see more of that.
About an hour later,
*smack!*
[Oww! Master…! It hurts… Please be gentler…!]
[Shut up.]
The two characters’ play had become quite skillful. Renka, leaning against the bars of the cage, called out to me weakly.
“Hey… Matsuda…”
Why did her voice sound like she was whining?
I didn’t reply, just looked at her. Renka hesitated, then spoke.
“How am I supposed to use the bathroom…?”
“…”
“Answer me… What do I do if I need to go…?”
“…”
Did she sense something from my silence? Renka’s tone became a bit more polite.
“A-answer me…”
There was still a hint of aggression in her voice, but she wasn’t yelling like before. Was the cage that uncomfortable that she was trying to appease me to get out? The cage was spacious, but only compared to other cages. With limited space to move around and no way to sit comfortably, it was bound to be frustrating.
I nodded and asked, “Do you need to use the bathroom?”
“Not right now, but… what if I do…?”
“You can’t.”
“…What?”
“You can’t.”
Renka’s eyes widened at my blunt reply. I smiled and immediately corrected myself.
“Just kidding. Tell me when you need to go.”
“Oh, okay…”
The room fell silent again. Thirty minutes later, as the movie reached its climax,
[I love you.]
[I love you too.]
The two protagonists confessed their feelings and kissed. The screen slowly faded to black, and the end credits began to roll. The two-hour movie was over. It wasn’t bad. The storyline was so-so, but it handled the BDSM elements well, without being too explicit. It was understandable why it was rated so highly.
I tossed the empty snack bag into the trash can and glanced at Renka. She was staring intently at the TV screen, lost in thought. She seemed to have enjoyed the movie.
“Hey… Matsuda…”
Renka called out, still fixated on the TV. I took a sip of my drink and replied,
“What?”
“I’m thirsty… Can I have some water…?”
I opened the refrigerator and took out a bottle of water. Then, I walked over to the cage and knelt down.
“That’s much better. Good girl.”
“…”
She looked up at me, her expression unreadable. I couldn’t tell if she was ashamed or embarrassed. Maybe both.
I opened the bottle and slipped the opening through the bars.
“Here.”
“Y-you want me to drink like this…?”
“The gaps between the bars are too narrow for me to give you the whole bottle.”
“…That’s true, but… can’t you just let me out to drink…?”
“No.”
“My back and butt hurt…”
Was she trying to appeal to my sympathy now? Though, the pain was probably genuine. She’d been sitting on the hard floor with her back hunched for nearly two hours.
“Hmm… What should we do? I didn’t plan for this.”
“Please… I need to use the bathroom, too…”
“If I let you out, will you be obedient?”
“Yes… I’ll be good…”
“You won’t run away?”
“W-why would I run away…! I know things will get worse if I do…”
Was it because she had just watched the movie? She was in the right mindset. Don’t make me any more turned on. Should I make her suck me off in there?
I closed the water bottle and pretended to think, scratching my chin.
“You’ll just drink some water, use the bathroom, and then come back in, right?”
“…Let me rest…”
“For how long?”
“A-about an hour…?”
“That’s a long time to rest.”
“Hey… It’s not even lunchtime yet. Can’t you give me a break…? I want to take a shower, too… You know I came straight from exercising…”
“You smell good, though.”
Renka gasped, flustered by my serious compliment.
“Still, I feel icky…”
“Thirty minutes for a shower should be enough, right?”
“Yes… That’s enough.”
She wasn’t asking for an hour like before. She probably didn’t want to push her luck and risk getting home even later.
I sighed dramatically and took the key out of my pocket, moving to the cage entrance. Renka’s face lit up as she crawled to the front. I looked into her eager eyes and said,
“I don’t have to grant your requests, but I’m being considerate. You understand, right?”
“I know…”
“Then what should you say?”
“…Thank you…?”
“That’s right. You should thank me. Good girl.”
I spoke in a gentle, encouraging voice, like praising a child taking their first steps. Renka bit her lip, a look of humiliation on her face. But was I imagining it, or was there a hint of… pleasure mixed in?
Satisfied with Renka’s considerably softened demeanor, I inserted the key into the lock and turned it.
*click.*
I opened the cage door and offered Renka my hand. After a moment of hesitation, she took my hand and crawled out. She stood up, stretched, and snatched the water bottle from my hand. After gulping down the water, she turned to me and,
“Sh…”
She let out a surprisingly cute sound, expressing her frustration.
“Did I hear that correctly?”
“…What…?”
“Weren’t you about to curse just now? I think you said ‘sh…’.”
“No. You heard wrong.”
“Really?”
“Yes. That’s right.”
“No, it’s not.”
“It is… I’m going to take a shower.”
Renka glanced at me nervously and headed towards the bathroom, practically fleeing. It was amusing. The more I peeled back her layers, the more interesting she became. And there was still plenty of time.
I was going to enjoy this day to the fullest. And I wouldn’t forget to educate Renka along the way.
