Erina grimaced at the sight of Halian's bruised abdomen. She would have killed to have Hal be shirtless, but this was the one context where it wasn't good at all.

She rubbed ointment on his wounds, trying to be as gentle as possible. Halian still winced, but when she looked at his face, Erina saw that he didn't seem to be in too much pain. Rather he was blushing, his cheeks nearly as deep red as his hair, and he was avoiding her gaze.

"Aw, are you all flustered that I'm seeing you shirtless? I've seen you like that before, Hal," Erina reminded him. They did live together after all.

"Yes, but not like this," Halian said, huffing a little bit, still refusing to look at her. He was so cute when he huffed. "We're...together now. Right? So...different."

Erina grinned at the loss of his usual eloquence, leaning in to kiss his forehead. "Yeah, we're together now. You're my boyfriend."

That word made her insides flutter so much. Boyfriend. Hal, the great engineer, the amazing, genius, adorably grumpy man was now her boyfriend. Her partner. Hopefully her husband too eventually, but she didn't want to say that immediately because she didn't come across too strong.

Halian was a shy, skittish creature, after all.

Halian was smiling softly, a hand over his heart. "Your boyfriend.... I dreamed of being that for so long."

Erina smiled at him, brushing a strand of hair behind his ear. "I can't believe we both wanted the same thing for so long and never said anything."

Halian shook his head. He was no doubt thinking self-deprecating thoughts. None of that, Erina decided, as she lightly smacked him upside the head.

"No bad thinky."

Halian chuckled, smiling at her fondly before leaning in to kiss her. Erina kissed back, hugging him close, already so very addicted to kissing him. She deepened it, her hands moving through his hair, lost in the pleasure of it. At least until she tugged, and Halian moaned into the kiss.

Erina blinked, pulling away and panting, studying Halian closely. The man's face was flushed red, breathing hard as he looked off to the side, avoiding Erina's gaze.

Erina hummed, tilting her head to the side a little, considering things. Then she gripped his hair again, tugging more with no warning. Halian moaned again, shuddering, staring at Erina with wide eyes, his face a shade redder than before.

"Oh, you like that, hm?" Erina grinned, very pleased and endeared.

Halian sputtered. "Well, I...." He moved to hang his head, but Erina didn't let him, gripping his hair tighter.

"Yes?"

Halian whimpered, shifting. A quick look down confirmed that he was squeezing his legs together. "I...do like it."

Erina's smile widened, licking her lips. What a delightful discovery. She decided to push a bit further, testing the waters. "Good boy."

Halian's throat bobbed, his eyes blown wide from arousal. Erina was having the time of her life.

"You like that too, hm?"

Halian flushed harder, giving her a tiny nod, staring at the couch they were sitting on. He looked so embarrassed.

Erina leaned in to kiss the tip of his nose, letting go of his hair and instead stroking it. "That's adorable, Hal. Really. I like it very much too."

"Y-you do?" Halian bit his lip, leaning in to whisper as if anyone could overhear them in here. "I may have...fantasized about.... Well, you...."

"Dominating you?" Erina helpfully added for him at a normal volume, making Hal keen and run his hand over his face.

"Yes."

Erina beamed, leaning in to kiss him again. "Aw, that's amazing. I'd love to. My little man."

She gingerly pulled Halian into her lap, petting his hair as if he were a dog. Hal went along with it without protest, leaning against her and into her petting.

"I didn't really think of you being a sub," Erina said, holding him close. He was taller than her, but that did nothing to deter her in her cradling. "I'm really, really excited to find out about it."

Hal looked back at her, his eyes all soft and vulnerable. Erina held him tighter. "Yes?"

Erina nodded, grinning. "Yeah, of course. I love taking care of you. Of course I want it. Besides, I love domming."

Halian huffed then, actually pouting. He'd never been cuter. "Yes. So I've heard."

Erina leaned in to kiss his temple. "You have nothing to be jealous over, my love. None of the people I brought to my bedroom meant anything. It was just a bit of fun."

Hal sighed. "I know. I just...I can't imagine making love with someone I barely know and have no deeper feelings for."

Erina pulled him in for a kiss, smiling at him as she withdrew. "And there's nothing wrong with that. Just like there's nothing wrong with doing it like I did." Erina hummed, her heart clenching a little at the possibilities Halian might be thinking. "You don't think I'd cheat on you, right?"

Hal blinked at her, shaking his head. "No, no, of course not. I'm sorry. I'm just...jealous still, I suppose. It will wear off."

Erina smiled, so soft for him. "It's okay. I'm yours only, Hal."

Halian kissed her, stroking her cheek. "As am I yours. I love you so much."

"I love you too," Erina said, sighing happily. Then she smirked as a thought occurred to her. "One bonus of my hookups, though.... I have many toys in my collection."

Hal swallowed, his eyes widening as he once again squeezed his legs together. "Toys...."

"Mm-hm." Erina nodded, whispering in his ear. "Cuffs. Paddles. Some nice plugs."

Halian made a tiny whimper as his throat bobbed again. "I...I see."

Erina grinned, biting her lip, feeling herself heat up just thinking about it all. She stroked Hal's hair, playing with his curls. "I'll take care of my good boy."

Halian whimpered as he turned to wrap his arms around her. "Please. That sounds wonderful." He buried his face in the crook of her neck. "I, erm, must admit, I have little experience."

Erina smiled, so endeared. "That's okay. You'll learn. I can't wait to see what things you like."

Halian clung to her harder. "Whatever you do me, most likely."

Erina chuckled, cooing at how cute he was being, continuing to stroke his hair. "I'm sure there will be favorites."

Halian nodded, pulling away enough to look at her pleadingly, practically vibrating from excitement. "Can we go try something then?"

Erina smirked sharply, barely holding in a chuckle. "No, of course not. You're hurt."

Hal's face turned even more pleading. "But I.... I want to know what it's like."

Erina kissed him, so endeared by his reactions. She really hoped he liked denial because she yearned to deny him so much.

"Hm. Maybe we try a plug, then. Just to see how you like being filled," Erina suggested, really wanting to see that. Just the thought of it was making her all flushed. "But if you're in pain, we stop."

Hal nodded, his face bright red. A quick look at his crotch was all Erina needed to confirm that Halian too was very enthusiastic.

"Come on, then, Hal, let's go to my bedroom," Erina said, smiling as she gingerly picked the man up, cradling him close. Hal wrapped his arms around her, blushing even more, tensing up.

"What's wrong? Nervous?" she asked, kissing his cheek.

Halian sighed and nodded. "A little, I suppose. I've never done these things."

Erina nuzzled his cheek with her nose. She was surprised by this. She'd known Halian wasn't one for casual sex, but she would have expected him to have had some previous lover, perhaps.

"That's okay, nothing to be worried about. I told you I'd take care of you. Don't worry about a thing," Erina told him, holding him tight and close, smiling at him. And he smiled back, making Erina's heart flutter. "It will be great."

Halian's smile widened. "Okay. Okay. I'm ready."

Erina kissed his forehead, carrying him down the hallway to her bedroom, depositing him gently on her bed. She really needed to be careful with how bruised and beaten up he was. Hal clearly didn't really care, but Erina would be dammed before she'd harm Hal, even unintentionally.

She grinned at Hal as she pulled open the drawer under her bed, retrieving a locked, brass box—her toy box. She made sure to pick it up so Halian could see it properly, putting it on the bedside table.

"It's locked so no one gets any ideas about taking things they don't have permission to use," Erina explained, smirking at Hal who was just nodding along with wide eyes. She was so very pleased to see him liking this.

Erina made a show of grabbing the key from the bedside table drawer, unlocking the little padlock on the box, before using the string on the key to put it around her neck. Hopefully more keys would join that string, soon.

Erina didn't let Hal see into the box properly, just selecting one of the smaller plugs in her arsenal, showing the metal toy to Halian.

"It, erm, looks manageable," Hal said, staring at the plug as if hypnotized by it.

"Of course it is," Erina said as she picked up her tin of lubricant, sitting down next to Hal on the bed. "On your knees, pet. Present yourself."

Halian scrambled to do as he was told, moving quickly even as he winced his way through it, getting on his knees on the bed and leaning forward.

Erina licked her lips, putting the plug and lube aside so she could put her hands on Halian's ass, massaging with her thumbs. Hal made a little whimper, but since he was pushing back against her hands, it was clear it wasn't a sound of pain.

Erina grinned, so very excited as she grasped the edge of Halian's trousers and underwear, pulling both down enough to expose his entrance. She ran her hands over his ass, rubbing his skin, spreading his legs, which prompted Halian to make another aroused noise.

Erina joined him. He was perfect. She couldn't wait to play with him. But she'd wait until he was healed up. Erina slicked up the plug with plenty of lube, just to make sure there would be no discomfort.

"Relax now, pet," she told Hal, gently but firmly. Halian whined in response, but his shoulders did slump a bit, clearly trying to follow her order.

Erina patted his ass in approval, rubbing the tip of the plug against Hal's entrance. Halian whined again, sounding needier than ever before. Erina just kept stroking his ass to calm him, pushing the plug in slowly but surely.

Halian groaned a little as the plug stretched him, slipping inside of him fully. Erina shuddered at the sight of him taking it, loving the sight of its base sticking out. She tapped it, making Halian's breath hitch.

"Good boy," she praised him, kissing his lower back. "Wonderful boy." Then she pulled his trousers and underwear back on. "There we go."

Halian looked back at her, frowning in confusion. "You...won't play with me?"

Erina shook her head. "Not until you're better. Meanwhile you get used to that plug. We take a nap now."

Hal gaped at her as he drew himself up, shifting. "W-wait, you want me to sleep with the plug inside of me?"

Erina hummed and nodded, grinning like a wolf. "I expect you to wear one at all times."

Halian's eyes went even wider, gulping. Erina smirked at the dark spot on the front of his pants.

"This is just the start. You'll be getting a bigger one to be the regular plug, too."

Halian whimpered, rubbing himself through his clothes. But Erina grabbed his wrist, stopping him. "Nuh uh. No touching. No coming unless I allow it."

Halian gave her a half pitiful, half upset look, but he didn't fight her hold. He just squeezed his legs together harder. "I can't sleep like this."

"That's your problem, pet," Erina said, chuckling. She let go so she could go back to her toy box, retreating a pair of padded cuffs. "And clearly you'll need some help obeying."

Halian opened his mouth, as if to argue, but the he just ducked his head and shuddered.

"Hands behind your back, pet," Erina told him, and Hal did, keeping his gaze trained on the bed.

She gently and lovingly slid the cuffs onto his forearms and up above his elbows. Thankfully they had enough give to allow for that. She could only slightly tighten them, but it would be enough for Halian not to be able to get out of them. She'd need to come up with some better restraints for him.

"Can I remove your hand?" she asked, kissing his temple. Halian nodded, and so Erina undid the strap holding the prosthetic in place and pulled the metal hand off.

"Lovely. You look so good," Erina said, enjoying the sight of him tied up and shirtless for a moment. Then she put her arms around him and pulled him into a snuggle, his back against her chest. "Now we'll rest, pet. And tomorrow I'll show you more toys you can try out."

Halian whimpered again, leaning against her. "Yes, er, ma'am."

Erina beamed, kissing the back of his neck. She was so excited to see where this would go.

She was sure that they had an interesting night ahead of them given how hard and desperate Halian was right now, much to Erina's delight.

But she just put the lubricant away before she shut off the lights, throwing her blanket over both of them and holding Hal still as she closed her eyes. "Goodnight, my love."

Halian whimpered. "Goodnight."

She could feel his hips jerking a little. He was no doubt trying to rut against the bed, but Erina held him tight, not letting him move enough to get any relief.

Erina enjoyed herself immensely, getting wet from hearing all of his little desperate noises, and feeling his trembling. But she happily pretended to be asleep, just so she could absorb Hal's desperation better, just waiting for him to say something.

Eventually, after longer than she would have expected, Halian cleared his throat, speaking with a shaking voice. "Uh, Erina? Please? Please, I can't take this."

Erina pretended to wake up, yawning. "What?"

Hal turned his head so he could look at her. She could barely see him in the dark, but she could see his shining eyes. Delicious tears. "Please. I need to come. Please, I can't sleep."

Erina couldn't keep her smile off her face. "You don't need anything, Hal. You're my pet. You're here to be played with."

Halian moaned, his hips jerking harder. Good, he really, really liked this. Erina was very pleased by that.

"B-but I can't take this. I'm so desperate," Halian argued, his voice breaking a little. The poor thing was so worked up, and they'd barely done anything.

"You really like that plug, don't you?" Erina teased him.

Halian groaned, nodding. "Y-yes."

"Hm." Erina switched the bedside lamp on, getting up. Halian watched her with so much hope. Hope that Erina was about to crush. She rummaged around the toy box, getting a rubber ball gag and a much larger plug, which she lubed up.

Halian had pulled himself to his knees by the time Erina turned around, staring with helpless arousal at the toys.

"Now, because you need to get used to being filled...."

Erina said, gently pushing him back to lay down on his side. Halian didn't fight back, whining as she pulled his pants and underwear down. Then he moaned when she grabbed the base of his plug and tugged it out, only to start pushing in the new one.

Halian groaned and whimpered through it, the plug stretching him further, filling him deeper. Deep enough to reach his prostate this time, Erina hoped. And indeed, as soon as the plug slid fully in, Hal let out a startled cry, then a moan as he tried to rub himself against the bed again.

Erina hummed, enjoying watching his struggle so much. She studied his cock, fantasizing about licking it, having it inside of her, playing with his balls....

But that was for later. For now, she'd just enjoy the show, especially because now Hal had his pants and underwear bunched up around his ankles, immobilizing him further. He was completely at her mercy.

"How does that feel, pet?" she asked him, laying down next to him, holding him close.

"S-so desperate," Hal whimpered out, tears running down his face. "So full."

"And you love it, don't you?" Erina hummed, licking his tears off his cheek.

Halian shuddered. "Y-yes, ma'am. Love it so much."

Erina beamed, leaning in to purr into his ear: "Good boy. We'll make you much more full. So full you can barely take it."

Halian whimpered desperately, twisting in her hold. "Please!"

Erina chuckled, stuffing the ball gag in his mouth instead, pulling the straps taunt, buckling it even as Hal keeps making muffled pleas. She loved seeing his lips stretched around the gag. "Shh, good boy. Be quiet now. Your mistress wants to sleep."

Erina turned the light off again, pulling the blanket over them and holding Hal tight. Her poor, tortured pet. He was so beautiful like this. She wanted to keep him like this forever, and given his enthusiastic response, no doubt so did he.

Erina once again pretended to be asleep, and eventually, the twisting stopped as Halian must have grown too tired to keep going. She let him have a while of peace before shifting, her hand moving to his cock.

Erina grinned at the little whine that followed as her pinkie brushed over the base of his cock. But she held him still, not letting him try to rut against her.

More muffled whimpers followed, but eventually Hal stilled again. Erina wondered if he was crying. Judging by the trembling, he might have been.

She didn't have the heart to keep this going much longer. She just enjoyed his suffering for a while more before leaning in to kiss his cheek.

"You're doing so well, pet," she told him, petting his hair. "So well in fact that I think you earned a reward, hm?"

Hal's big, tear-filled eyes widened at that, nodding hard and making muffled whines. Erina smiled, kissing the gag before pulling Hal up to sit, making him groan as that plug no doubt pushed deeper in.

Erina turned the light on yet again, taking in the sight of him. Hal's face was covered in tears, he was drooling around his gag, and his cock was leaking precome. Erina was going to enjoy licking it off so much.

"But first, good pets make their masters feel good before they get pleasure themselves, no?" Erina asked, grinning at Hal with all the sadistic delight she was feeling. Halian nodded along hard, more tears running down his face.

"Good boy, best boy." Erina kissed his forehead, freeing his arms. There were red marks from the cuffs on them. He looked so nice like that. Erina would add more.

"Go ahead then." She lifted up her dress enough to show off her soaked underwear. She would change into her nightgown afterward, but for now she enjoyed the fact that Hal would need to undress her very much.

With a shaky hand, Halian ran his fingers over her thigh, moaning behind his gag. Erina shuddered, flushing more from just being touched by him. Oh how she'd yearned for years for this. And it was finally here.

Hal's fingers trailed to her underwear, another aroused moan escaping him as he slowly pulled down one side, then the other, moaning more as he reached in and rubbed his finger over her clit.

Erina gasped, her eyes sliding shut as she hummed in pleasure, nodding. Halian rubbed more with his thumb, slipping two fingers inside of her, making her groan and clench on them, needing them deeper.

Hal didn't need to be told, his fingers pushing in deeper all the while still rubbing Erina's clit. She could feel pressure building as Hal's fingers brushed the right spot inside of her, making her gasp and moan, rocking her hips to fuck herself on his fingers.

Erina enjoyed herself fully, rocking her hips and praising Hal, encouraging him. Erina snuck glances at Hal's cock, twitching and leaking constantly.

After a while longer, Erina finally finished, moaning and panting, shuddering as she clenched on Hal's fingers.

"Such a good boy," she said, breathless as she petted his hair, tugging on it a little. "So good. And now you get a reward."

Erina leaned forward to Hal's cock, putting her lips around the head of it, making Halian cry out behind his gag, his hips jerking. She took more, sucking hard, making Hal yell and moan. And after all the buildup, it didn't take long for him to come, moaning long as he shuddered and whimpered through it.

Erina swallowed, sucking more through it, wanting to milk him for all he was worth. He was so delicious. She didn't stop sucking until he was soft, only then pulling off, stroking Halian's head again.

"There, that's better, isn't it, baby?"

Halian nodded, whining behind the gag, his head lolling to the side a little. Erina grinned, loving seeing him so spent. She unbuckled the gag, pulling it out of his mouth.

"T-thank you, thank you," he said, still panting.

"That feels better, doesn't it?" Erina kissed him, holding him close. "But you get very, very excited from just wearing a plug."

Halian flushed, whining miserably. "I can't help it. It's just so arousing to have you do things to me."

"And I bet the plug feels nice too, doesn't it?" Erina grinned, enjoying it so much, especially seeing Hal give a tiny nod, puppy eyeing her. "You're such a wonderful plaything for me."

"T-thank you, ma'am," Hal replied, shuddering and blushing some more.

"You're learning really quickly, good boy," she said, smiling at him and kissing him again. "So good for me."

She got up, going to her toy box again, rummaging around for a cock cage. She hadn't planned on using that particular toy so soon, but clearly Hal needed some help managing his neediness while plugged.

She turned around to present the cage to him, a thin but strong, metal construction with gears to tighten it that would keep him in check no matter what. "What do you think?"

Halian stared, blinking at the toy, biting his lip, his eyes blown wide from arousal. "What...what does that do?"

Erina wondered if there was an answer she could give that would make him not want it locked on him. "It will keep your needy little cock locked up and soft."

She sat down next to him, watching him shiver and swallow. "You clearly need to be controlled."

Hal opened his mouth, trying to say something, only to moan and nod, clearly giving up. "Please."

Erina grinned, nuzzling him and kissing his cheek. He was such a good sub, and she loved him so much. "Good."

Taking Hal's cock into her hand, she slid the cage onto him, putting the attached band around his balls before starting to turn the little gear on top, tightening the device down onto him until it was just tight enough to not be possible to remove but not yet uncomfortable.

Erina then slid a little padlock into the hoop going from the gear to the cage, locking it into place. Halian shuddered, touching the cage, running his fingers over it.

Erina took off the key she'd already had around her neck and added the cage to the padlock to it, making a show of it for Hal before tucking it under her dress again.

"There we go. Contained," Erina said, grinning, reaching behind Hal to pat his ass too. "And filled up."

Halian nodded, groaning. "H-hopefully I can sleep now."

Erina grinned hungrily. "And if you can't, I suggest you learn to get used to this quickly."

Halian shivered, whimpering a little as he ducked his head, his sweaty hair falling in his face. "Y-yes, mistress."

Erina nodded in approval. "Good, my little pet." She licked her lips, testing the waters further. "My slave."

Hal's eyes flew to hers, his face so red. "S-slave?"

Erina hummed, delighted by his reaction. "If I am your mistress, then you are my slave, no? Just here to be played with."

Halian rubbed his hand over his face, keening. "Y-yes, ma'am."

"Good boy," Erina praised, petting his head again. "Now then, time for bed."

She got up, pulling off all her clothes and throwing them aside, letting Halian ogle her as she took her time putting on her nightgown.

"Like what you see?" Erina grinned, climbing onto the bed again to hug him.

Halian nodded. "You are so beautiful."

Erina puppy eyed him that time, kissing his cheek. "As are you."

Halian blushed, smiling at her, his eyes full of adoration. "Could I...get the gag again?"

Erina grinned, her heart fluttering. Oh, he was just so, so good. "Of course you can. My good little pet."

She picked up the discarded gag, offering it to Hal, who took it into his mouth, moaning a bit around it. Erina beamed at him, so proud as she buckled the gag back into place.

"Do you want to be tied up again?"

Halian nodded with enthusiasm, and so Erina once again tied his arms behind his back, deciding to pull Halian's pants and underwear off completely, replacing them with ankle cuffs, making him nice and helpless.

Hal groaned behind his gag, shuddering and tugging on the restraints. He was such a sight to see.

Erina ran her eyes over him, savoring it for a bit before pulling him into a snuggling position, her arm over his chest as she turned off the light and pulled the blanket over them.

"Goodnight, my love." She kissed his shoulder as he mumbled a goodnight himself.

Erina took a deep, relaxed breath. Despite how tonight had started, she'd never been this happy. They would recoup what the thieves had stolen, fix up Hal's arm, weathering any snowstorm coming their way.

And they would do it like they should—together.
