Zoey let out a little squeak at the firm squeeze of her still heavily bruised ass. The worst of it was that she felt a small winge of pleasure under all of the pain. His touch was firm but not agressive and she could not help the little shiver that rippled up her spine. She shook her head to clear it, wondering how he had such an affect on her. He had beaten her, shown her pain she had never even imagined existed and yet she craved the caress of those same strong hands. Her breathing became a little more ragged and she listened in silence as he spoke to her. It was impossible to hide the way she sagged slightly in relief at his words.The former noble stood still except for the trembling when he finished talking.<span style="color: indigo"> "Thank you, Master. I am grateful for your mercy</span>." She felt embarrassed that when his hand slipped back away from her backside, she pushed her hips back in an attempt to keep contact.<br/><br/>Quivering hands hurried to pull the stockings up and finish donning the rest out the very provocative outfit. A little gasp caught in her throat when his hand guided her to arch and she realized that she would have to be mindful of her movements. with her back bowed as it was her breasts were only just managing to stay in her top. She felt so very naked in the outfit and she nodded mutely. She would of course do as her Master asked but she worried that she would do too little or too much to improve morale as he had said. The fear of his good mood fading along with the fear of whatever it was she was to be the test subject for at the workshop still had her slightly on edge although not much. He seemed to be in a very good mood so maybe it would not be so bad.<br/><br/>When he soft order was uttered, she immediately turned to the door, almost making it all the way before running back to his desk and gently collecting the small vibratiing insect from earlier. He had instructed her to bring it and she held it with the utmost caution as she walked behind him into the lift. It was had not to marvel at the ingenuity of such things and she let out another characteristic squeak when the lift lurched and began to descend. Each step toward the door made Zoey tremble more. She had not been out since making a scene in the auction squeare but now a large part of her was dreading it. to be seen like this was one thing, to be out in public was quite another. Still her Master was there and he was strong and tall. She did not imagine that anyone would be outwardly rude.<br/><br/>A shuddering breath accompanied Zoey's first step into the hazy sun. She took a deep breath of fresh warm air and exhaled slowly. It was actually quite pleasant and if she tried hard she might be able to convince herself that it was just a walk with a handsome suitor. As he began to lead though the oppressive feel of eyes on her and the soft whispers that accompanied her passing reminded her of her situation. It was still a pleasant walk but she felt so exposed. Quentin's arm sliding around her was a great comfort and she leaned into him. She nodded as they walked.<span style="color: indigo">"Yes Master, it is the first time i have been allowed out of the house and it is wonderful out."</span>Straight, white teeth nipped at her lip and she refrained from asking questions about their destination despite her anxiety. SHe knew that knowing would not change a thing so in truth it was irrelevant.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
