Chapter 26

Eric chuckled softly, clearly enjoying Dan's discomfort. "Oh, don't worry my little pet. I'll tell you the task I want you to complete. But remember, you're not allowed to change until you've done exactly as I say."

Dan felt a pang of frustration and helplessness. He knew that Eric enjoyed having control over him, and he hated feeling so helpless. "Alright, what do you want me to do?" he asked through clenched teeth.

"That's a good boy, Dan. You're learning your place." Eric's voice was thick with satisfaction.

There was a brief pause, then Eric continued, "I want you to close your eyes."

Dan's heart skipped a beat. He didn't like the sound of this, but he knew he had no choice but to comply. He closed his eyes tightly, steeling himself for whatever task Eric was about to give him.

"Good boy, Dan. Now keep your eyes closed and wait for further instructions." Eric's voice was low and commanding, sending a chill down Dan's spine.

"Don't even think about opening your eyes until I say you can." Eric continued, his tone ominous.

Dan swallowed hard, his eyes remaining tightly closed. He could feel his heart racing in his chest as he waited for Eric's next command, feeling utterly vulnerable and exposed.

Eric chuckled softly, clearly enjoying Dan's obedience. "Very good, Dan. You're doing well so far."

There was another pause, then Eric spoke again, "Now I want you to imagine that I'm right there in front of you, right at this moment. Picture my face in your mind, every detail, every expression"

Dan closed his eyes tighter, trying to visualize Eric's face in front of him. But the image that kept slipping into his mind was Eric's cold, emotionless face, watching him with that smug look.

"Picturing me, are you?" Eric crooned. "Good. Keep your eyes closed and focus on the image of my face. Picture me with a smile on my face, looking at you like you're the most precious thing in the world"

Eric's voice was smooth and soothing. It was almost as if he was trying to hypnotize Dan. "Now, think about how much I appreciate your complete submission. Feel how much I value your obedience and devotion to me. You're mine, completely mine."

Dan felt a twinge of shame and anger as he tried to imagine Eric's face with a smile on it. He couldn't imagine the man ever being genuinely happy. But he knew he had to comply with Eric's instructions. Dan swallowed hard and continued to visualize, trying to force himself to see a smile on Eric's face.

He tried to picture himself as precious and valuable in Eric's eyes, but the idea only made him feel more degraded and dehumanized. He was nothing more than a tool for Eric to use and discard as he saw fit. Still, he continued to listen to Eric's instructions.

"Good, very good," Eric's voice came through the earpiece, "Now imagine that I'm standing right in front of you. Picture me reaching out and touching your face, gently running my hands over your skin, caressing your cheeks."

Dan clenched his jaw, his whole body tensing as he tried to imagine Eric's touch. The thought of the man's hands on his skin felt revolting.

Dan couldn't take it anymore, so he opened his eyes. "I-I can't."

There was a moment of stunned silence over the earpiece, then Eric's voice came through, his tone sharp and icy.

"What did you just say?" Eric's voice was quiet, but filled with a cold anger that had Dan feeling like a small mouse in the path of a hungry snake.

Dan swallowed hard, his heart racing in his chest. "I-I can't do it." he repeated, his voice barely above a whisper.

There was another pause over the earpiece, and Dan could feel Eric's anger building with every second. He braced himself, waiting for the response. But then the vibrator inside of him turns on.

Dan's face scrunches up with pain and he lets out a muffled cry. His hands clenched into fists, nails biting into his palms as the toy continues to pulse inside of him.

The pain intensifies, becoming almost unbearable as the toy's pulses grow stronger and faster. Tears stream down Dan's face, his eyes squeezed shut as he tries to bear the agony. Eric's voice comes through the earpiece, his tone cold and unyielding.

"You can't do what, Dan?" Eric's voice is icy calm, but there's a hint of something else beneath the surface - a dark, simmering anger. The vibrator inside of Dan continues to vibrate at an excruciating pace, the pain almost overwhelming.

Dan tries to speak, but all that comes out is a strangled whimper. He's unable to form words, his mind clouded by the intense pain. He thrashes against the restraints, but they hold him securely in place.

Eric's voice comes through the earpiece again, louder this time, his patience clearly wearing thin. "I asked you a question, Dan. Answer me. What can't you do?" The toy inside of Dan intensifies, the pulses of pain growing stronger and more frequent.

"Hnng~ stop this… i can't take it anymore." Dan pleaded.

Eric's chuckle comes through the earpiece, low and menacing. "Oh, but you must, my dear. You must." The vibrator inside of Dan turns off, allowing him a moment's respite from the excruciating pain."

Dan gasps for breath, his body trembling with relief and exhaustion. He's barely aware of Eric's voice as he speaks again, his words dripping with condescension and contempt. "Now, let's try again, shall we?"

Dan takes a deep, shuddering breath, steeling himself for what's to come. He nods his head, a sign for Eric to continue. The toy inside of him comes back to life, the pulses of pain starting anew.

"Imagine my hand on your face, Dan," Eric's voice commands, "Picture me caressing your cheek, my thumb gently rubbing your lip." The vibrations increase in intensity, making Dan's whole body jerk and convulse against the restraints.

Th door opened. Dan looked up and saw Eric.

Eric enters the room, his expression cold and unyielding as he approaches Dan. He reaches out and gently runs his thumb over Dan's lip, just as he instructed him to imagine. The vibrations from the toy continue to intensify, making Dan's whole body tremble.

As Eric caresses Dan's face, he speaks softly into the earpiece, his voice dripping with condescension. "Look at me, Dan. Open your eyes and look at me." The toy inside of him reaches a fever pitch, the pulses becoming almost unbearable.

Dan strains against the restraints, his body arching as he tries to escape the overwhelming pain. Tears stream down his cheeks, and he forces his eyes open to meet Eric's icy gaze. Eric's face is an unreadable mask, his eyes filled with a cold, detached curiosity. "Good boy,"

Eric murmurs, his thumb still gently rubbing Dan's lip. He reaches out with his other hand and gently brushes a strand of hair out of Dan's face, his touch surprisingly gentle considering the agony he's inflicting upon him. "Now, let's try something new,"
