SOE 0018: Inverting Pain

Leaving a frozen Levia in her place, Leo walked toward the chair slowly, letting Ingrid stew in her thoughts for a few seconds. Nothing but the sound of his steps was heard in the room for a few seconds and before she knew it, Leo stood beside Ingrid, "If it were up to me, I would've done this from the comfort of my dungeon, but this kind of janky setup has its own charm…" She heard him say and looked down at her lap with both embarrassment and fear.

"Stop fidgeting." Leo ordered her, "Put your arms on the sides and grab the end of the armrests." His words had an immediate effect and Ingrid's arms went to her sides as she stopped fidgeting nervously.

"Levia, honey," Leo called, "Help me tie my slave's restraints." Leo said, "The leg ones."

That brought Levia out of her thoughts and she quickly approached Leo and Ingrid before kneeling in front of Ingrid as the girl shuffled nervously in her place. Levia grabbed one of Ingrid's ankles before looping the belt around it and tightening it. She then grabbed another belt that was slightly above and tied it to Ingrid's calf. There was some resistance as she tried to tie the other ankle to the other leg of the chair as if would force Ingrid to spread her legs and expose herself, but Levia was relentless, eventually getting Ingrid's legs spread apart.

As for Leo, he tied the arm restraints as one belt went over her wrist and another looped just below her elbow, fixing her arm in a parallel position to the armrest. As he followed the same process for her other arm, Levia stood up and fixed her dress, "It's done, young master…" Her tone had taken a noticeably more flirty turn and Leo wasn't dense enough to ignore it. He gave her a light smile before patting her on the head, "You did good." He praised her after having tied both of Ingrid's arms.

"Get the piercing kit." He told Levia before bringing his focus back to Ingrid, "Look up at me." He told his slave.

"Y-yes master?" She asked with an enhanced light of apprehension in her eyes.

"Take a deep breath, and prepare yourself to feel a slew of confused emotions." Leo's words confused Ingrid, but he didn't elaborate. Instead, he pulled out a strip of cloth from his back pocket and put it around Ingrid's head. As she registered its significance, Leo had already tied the blindfold around her head, robbing her of her sight.

Normally, it wouldn't really be a problem. Since she was an adept aura wielder, she could at least get a slight feel of her surroundings with her aura. It wouldn't be anywhere close to the extent of a knight like Richard, but the ability was still there. But with her aura having been suppressed, all Ingrid could sense was complete darkness and it terrified her.

"Master…" She squeaked out in a spooked voice as her hands tightened around the armrests. She'd never truly lost her sight ever since she became an Adept, even closing her eyes, she was able to feel more than the complete darkness that she was in at the moment.

"Be calm…" Leo said as he put his hand on her head and gently caressed it, making her feel comforted and almost protected. His touch even made her feel as if being restrained was a comforting feeling as if she was in Leo's embrace. She recalled the feeling of his warmth from the previous night and felt herself almost growing sleepy.

Leo calmed her down for a few seconds before taking his hand away. Ingrid straightened herself and tried to keep his hand on her head, but failed and opened her eyes sadly. That was when she remembered that she'd been blindfolded, but it didn't feel as scary as before. She took a breath and calmed herself down.

She yelped weakly when she felt her dress being pulled down, the action instantly freed her tits. As the cold air of the room became much more apparent to her, the sensitive pink nubs on her breasts stiffened. She panicked and tried to raise her arms to hide herself from being exposed in such a manner, but the restraints made it impossible for her to do any such thing, "Master, please…" She resisted and tried to free her arms.

"Shh…" Leo put his hand on her head once again, calming her down once again. His other hand caressed her bare breasts gently and made her feel all sorts of good. The action calmed her down enough that she stopped resisting, but the weak whimpers of angst were still there as she tried to keep a modicum of her dignity intact. She didn't want to be exposed to that clerk in such a manner.

Alas, her wishes were for naught. As Leo let go of her breasts, she heard the voice of that clerk, "I've brought the kits, young master." Ingrid whimpered in resistance once again, trying to hide herself.

Leo frowned, "Don't embarrass yourself," He slapped her chest, eliciting a pained yelp from her mouth, "Stay calm and close your eyes, bring your awareness to your body. Focus on yourself and the sensations that you feel." His words were enough to destroy Ingrid's angsty actions as she calmed down and straightened herself, seemingly uncaring about her exposure.

Leo lowered the dress further and bundled it up below her belly button, almost revealing the crest, but still keeping it hidden. He then grabbed the final belt that was attached to the spine of the chair and tightened it around Ingrid's torso, right under her breasts. It made her slightly breathless and also affixed her to the chair stably. Her resistance had become almost impossible with her not having any wiggle room.

"We'll start with the ears." Leo's words confused Ingrid. She thought that she'd only be getting her ears pierced. Before she could voice her query, she felt Leo's finger and thumb massaging her earlobe gently and felt her mind going blank. She could feel her ear having grown extremely sensitive and could feel almost everything that was going on there as if all her focus had been drawn to it.

"Give me the forceps," Leo said and Ingrid felt two cold pieces of metal pressing on both sides of her earlobe.

Leo tightened the pliers and affixed them in place before grabbing the piercing needle from the kit in Levia's hands. The girl wasn't even questioning why it was Leo who was doing the piercing instead of her. She was, with an almost mesmerized gaze, looking at Ingrid's breasts which were just so inviting and enticing. She felt jealous but was still aware of her role as Leo's assistant. She didn't do anything to distract him.

Before Ingrid could realize that he'd let go of the forceps holding her ears and let them hang, Leo had put the needle through them and pulled it out, creating a perfect piercing in her ear.

Ingrid instantly opened her mouth, but it wasn't because of the pain, what escaped her mouth was a weak aroused breath followed by a little moan. Just as the stinging pain registered in her mind, it transformed into an electric current that shook her entire body and made her feel a confusing sense of arousal. She was being turned on by the pain and it confused her to no extent.

Leo smiled a little at Ingrid's reaction and quickly grabbed the emerald earring to affix it to the piercing that had a tiny bit of blood coming out of it. Using the special tool, he tightened the clamping mechanism of the earring to make it stay in place correctly and effectively permanently. Ingrid wouldn't be able to remove it, and he didn't have any plans of removing it. Her ear would be allowed to heal with the mechanism in place such that even if she tried to take it out, the process would be extremely painful and difficult.

This kind of process could never work with someone who wasn't an aura wielder. The only reason that Leo's methods weren't dangerous, and to some extent lethal, for Ingrid was because she was an Adept and had a physique that was far better than a normal person.

As Leo followed the same steps for her other ear, Ingrid's reaction got even more pronounced as she started rubbing herself on the chair, trying to generate some friction and pleasure herself. The moans that left her mouth for the next couple of seconds resounded through the tiny workshop.

As for Levia, she was very confused by the woman's reaction. The kind of pain that she was experiencing should've at least elicited a negative response from her, but all she let out was pleasured noises, 'It's as if she gets off on pain…' Levia thought with a blush.

"Can you get the nipple piercing kit, Levia?" Leo asked, bringing her to reality she quickly nodded before saying, "Yes, young master."

As for Ingrid, she'd just calmed down and was expecting to be let go, but Leo's words sent her into another spiral of panic. Just as she opened her mouth to protest, she heard Leo shush her as she felt him gripping both her nipples and lightly massaging them in the same manner as he did for her earlobe.

Her nubs were already an extremely sensitive part of her body, and with Leo enhancing that sensitivity, Ingrid could only let out confused and slurred moans as he destroyed any shreds of her resistance with his light teasing. As the sensitivity increased, her wiggling also increased. It was now that Levia realized the need for the restraints because otherwise, Ingrid's movements would've made any piercing process impossible.

Soon enough, Leo did the same thing, fixing the differently-sized forceps on her nipple before passing a needle through them. Ingrid's reaction was even more pronounced this time.

She felt the stinging pain travel throughout her entire body with this piercing and all of it registered as a positive and pleasurable feeling to her that made her shake in her place as she got wetter and more aroused. She knew it was painful. She could feel the sting and it hurt a lot. But instead of her brain reacting to it negatively, she could only feel pleasure from that pain.

She couldn't even contemplate her confused feelings and could only let out slurred moans, full of pleasure as Leo pierced her other nipple. This time, he inserted temporary barbell studs inside them that would be removed once the actual piercings were completed. Unlike the ear piercings, the nipple ones weren't going to be permanent since Leo would be changing them out every once in a while according to his requirements. He had certain sets and equipment that would be very useful for some plays based on pain that he was planning to do with Ingrid.

"I've decided to skip the naval piercing for now," Leo told Levia who was taking out the next kit that would be used for her naval, "I'll take care of her naval piercing later." He said before fishing out something from his pocket, "Here are the designs that I envisioned for the pieces." He handed a piece of paper to Levia who could only accept it in a daze.
