<span style="font-style: italic">“Nothing to be worried about I am fine.”</span>Rimi heard Max say in a short tone, not even looking at Rimi as he spoke, his eyes stuck on the cabinet in front of him. Though Max had said that, he didn't want to believe it right away... But his worry was fading, though slightly when Max spoke the second time,<span style="font-style: italic">“You’re the one that said we had more time to play... Let’s play.”</span>An evil smirk played on the man's face, which made Rimi smile a little as he pushed into the basement.<br/><br/>The cold basement... A cage which Max would lock away Rimion for disobedience, forced to starve until Max felt unusually merciful... A whole wall holding up his many toys for delivering pain his slave. It was clear why Max brought him down here... It was the one place where he knew he had control. In this room, he was king of the castle... And he wanted Rimion to know that. As Max attached the hook to his collar and cuffed his hands, he looked at him with a smile, watching Max grab a cat of nine tails, but this one was a different from the last. The end of each strap was a little ball with spikes on the end, unlike the other one which was just a few balls. This one would bring more pain to his body, and pleasure to Max.<br/><br/>As the cat of nine tails soon dug its sharp tails his back, feeling Max's anger with every swing. He merely smiled and let his moaning fly through his lips, feeling the sting of Max's wrath and loving every moment. “<span style="font-style: italic">This is my game, I am the master, I am the master. I am the Master, I am in Control.”</span>Max said over and over, and Rimion merely smiled and responded, "Tell me, and I will laugh at you. Make me believe it, and I bend my knee to you without complaint." He was hoping to truly feel it, but as he collapsed, shock soon returned to his mind. Lifting his arms and yanking the hook, he let himself free and soon turned to Max, looking at him worriedly. "Master... You should get to bed. You must be tired."
