<i>“Wretched beast,”</i>Jin’s voice sounded in Aly’s mind, despite her blocking his vision. She could feel his seething anger at having to lie still in Vokalt’s jaws. Briefly, she wondered at Jin’s ability to enter her mind even when she was blocking him. Was it a sign of her own weakness that she could not prevent the familial entry, or simply a product of their unique bonding?<br/><br/>Aly flinched as Kadyle touched her. She heard him come near, but had not really expected a physical touch. Her breath, already ragged, hitched as he squeezed her backside. She wanted badly to protest, to remind him that this was not how things were<i>done</i>. But in that same moment, she realized that she didn’t really know. Maybe this was how things were outside the world of Garath’s house? Garath had often mentioned that he kept her safe; was this what he meant? Kadyle said he wanted to inspect her; did he mean to hurt her as well?<br/><br/>She turned stiffly in a circle at his command, gasping as he took her wrists and pulled her arms away from her body. Aly took a step away from him, pulling at his hold before she remembered herself and the precarious position her familial was currently in. With a slight whimper, she stopped herself, her arms going slack in his grip.<br/><br/>His next command was courteous, despite what he was asking her. It seemed out of place, yet sent an odd thrill through her that she could not place. Shock and confusion raced over her facial features, her soft pink lips parting slightly before pressing together. Her unfocused eyes rested on nothing in particular, her head slightly tilted so that her right ear was closer to him.<br/><br/>“Please, Lord Kadyle, you have seen me now. Let me put my clothing back on. I promise Jin and I will stay out of the way. I’m sure I could learn to be useful to you somehow,” she pleaded with him. Still, she obediently parted her legs some, sliding her bare feet along the floor carefully, lest she encounter something she wasn’t aware of. The cool air of the room easily found the warmth of her sex between her parted legs, sending yet another shiver through her.
