Entering my room, I locked the door and immediately erected a barrier of darkness around us to block any potential surveillance or eavesdropping.
After securing the door, I released the girl and moved toward the bed, removing my tie and tossing it along with my jacket onto the chair.
Sitting on my soft mattress, my gaze fixed on her.
— Come here. — I tried calling her without using a command.
She averted her eyes again, turning her back to me as she refused to obey.
— If you don't come, I'll have to use an order. — I smirked at her behavior, still attempting to control the fiend without resorting to contractual commands. — And I don't want you suffering from the curse.
To my surprise, she actually paused to think before turning her head toward me with a frown.
— Screw you! I won't obey your disgusting orders! — Power stubbornly resisted. — You're part human, part devil... I hate both.
"Right... She hates both demons and humans..." I recalled our previous conversation.
— Hah... You're strange, Power. I saved you. I saved Meowy. — I sighed, listing her debts to me. — Provided you with a comfortable home and bed. And you... You choose to defy me? — My own expression darkened as I intensified my glare. — I wanted to be gentle, but since you won't listen... Come here, bitch. — I issued the command.
She immediately sensed something wrong and tried to refuse, but before she could even utter a word, the girl collapsed, clutching her stomach.
— A-A-A-A-AH?! GRAHA!
"First the head, now the stomach. Interesting curse effect... Maybe I should make a contract with the Curse Devil?"
— S-s-stop! — The blonde looked up at me, tears in her eyes as she writhed on the floor. — I-I'm sorry! I...
Realizing I wouldn't forgive her so easily, Power began crawling toward me on her own. Drool dripped from her lips, presenting an unusually arousing sight—a helpless girl, unable to withstand the pain, convulsing as she sought forgiveness from the master she refused to acknowledge.
I never knew I was a sadist... Whether this was my fetish or Denji's remained unclear, but damn if it wasn't exciting.
While my thoughts wandered down that interesting path, the girl finally reached me, clutching at my legs with trembling hands.
— F-f-for...give... m-me... — she barely managed to gasp, nearly losing consciousness.
— Hah... Forgiven. — I relented.
Power stopped trembling and collapsed, exhausted.
— N-n-n... — Hearing her muffled groans, I snorted.
After letting her rest for a couple minutes, I decided to issue another command.
— Beg me to punish you. — This time, I didn't enforce it.
— ...
The fiend remained silent, only twitching slightly.
— Counting to three. If you don't bow and ask for punishment... Well, you already know how much it'll hurt. — I crossed my arms, smirking.
— I-I get it... — The blonde finally relented, exhaustion evident in her voice.
Pushing herself up, she raised her hips while lowering her head until her forehead touched the floor—a clear display of submission.
— Please... punish me...
— Can't hear you. — I snorted. — Louder.
— I'm sorry... P-punish me! — she forced out.
Pretty dry. And not an ounce of sincerity in her words... Then again, she was a fiend—expecting anything more would be naive. This wasn't roleplay; it was training.
I licked my lips, imagining what else I might do with her in the future.
— Good. Stand up and come here. — This time, I enforced the command.
The girl rose and slowly approached me. Nervousness and fear radiated from her—whatever I planned to do next clearly terrified her. Sweat coated her face, her eyes downcast.
The moment she got close enough, I grabbed her wrist and yanked her toward me.
— Ah? —
Caught off guard, she found herself draped over my knees, stomach-down.
I wouldn't say she smelled particularly pleasant, but it was enough for now. I'd teach her proper hygiene later.
But for now...
— What are you planning? — she asked, more curious than surprised.
Instead of answering, I licked my lips and grabbed her ass with one hand.
— ...?
She didn't react, meaning no resistance.
Had it been so long...? Or not... But I'd missed this feeling—this excitement. My hands sank into the blonde's firm cheeks, drawing a soft gasp from Power.
— Mh...
Listening to her faint demonic heartbeat, I continued kneading her ass, savoring the sense of ownership. Power seemed to relax slightly—a mistake on her part.
Raising my hand higher, I grinned.
"Punishment begins!"
My hand came down hard. The slap echoed through the room, followed immediately by—
— KYAAAAH! — Power shrieked, trying to scramble away, but I held her firmly in place. — You...
SLAP
— Kh... — She trembled, cutting herself off.
— Don't whine. I haven't even taken your jeans off yet. — I licked my lips and swiftly removed the barrier between me and Power's ass.
Surprisingly, she wasn't wearing panties beneath those shorts, making the situation even more tantalizing.
— Wow... Someone doesn't like underwear, huh? — I grinned, stroking her bare, glistening cheeks.
— Let go! — she demanded, still struggling uselessly.
— Stay still. — I enforced the command.
She shuddered but obeyed.
— Good. — I gave her ass a soft pat.
— P-please... Don't hurt me... I'll listen, I promise!...
— Quiet! — Raising my hand again, I controlled my strength and brought it down.
SLAP
— Hiiii!
Another cry of pain mixed with the sound of flesh striking flesh filled the room. This time, my palm left a clear red imprint on the blonde's pale skin.
Leaving that mark, I prepared to strike again.
SLAP
The next blow landed on the other cheek, leaving a matching handprint.
— Hii... Sniff... Sniff... — She began sobbing.
— Does it hurt? — I asked.
— Sniff... — She nodded silently.
— Don't worry. You'll start liking it soon. — Baring my teeth, I continued.
With each slap, I varied the intervals—sometimes longer, sometimes shorter.
Power barely reacted to the strikes now... Her ass completely red and even bruising in places, she lay obediently, clutching the sheets of my bed.
As much as I wanted to continue, I had to stop. My goal wasn't to make her fear me, but to teach her the consequences of disobedience.
Seeing tears streaming down her cheeks, I smiled. I enjoyed this... Watching the unruly fiend cry like a child. Not surprising—this might have been the first time in her existence she'd ever experienced real pain.
Then again, Makima might have tormented her a bit before recruiting her into Public Safety.
Carefully lifting her hips—brushing against her slightly damp slit in the process—I pulled her jeans back up.
I considered giving her ass one last light pat to signal her to rise, but decided she'd had enough for today...
— Get up. — I ordered.
But Power didn't move. Either sulking or unconscious, tears still flowed down her cheeks...
"Overdid it? Nah..."
— Remember this, Power. From today onward, you're mine. Your care and discipline are my responsibility. — I began stroking her back. — I'll be harsh or gentle as needed. So you'd better behave. — My hand moved up to her head.
Her hair wasn't exactly silky, but surprisingly soft to the touch.
— Why punish me if I apologized?... — the girl asked.
— And why did you betray me when I trusted you? We could've shared the credit for killing those devils. — I countered with a question of my own, making her pause.
— I wanted to help Meowy...
— So did I.
— But humans lie...
— Am I human?
— You...
She seemed to short-circuit trying to figure me out.
— You still tricked me! You said you forgave me, so why?
Sighing, I realized this would be exhausting...
— Listen, Power. I want to live as I please. Anyone who gets in my way or acts against me dies. — I stated with complete seriousness. — So be a good girl, and I'll reward you.
Standing up, I tipped her over—
— KYAAAAH! It hurts!
—landing her squarely on her sore ass.
— Should've gotten up when I told you. — I observed the tearful, exhausted girl.
Sighing, I crouched down and studied her suffering. Time for the carrot after the stick...
— Hungry? — I asked.
— ...Yes. — She answered without hesitation.
— Good. Meet me downstairs. I'll cook something...
Changing into casual clothes, I headed down, ending another exhausting day. I hadn't expected the punishment to take this long.
To be continued...
