Chapter 0170: Shedding Some Light

"You did good, honey." Alex praised Felicia and caressed her head as she recovered from her intense and mind-numbing orgasm.

He opened the belts of the leg binders that were wrapped around her legs and freed them before taking off the thigh-high leather stocking completely, leaving her legs bare. He did the same for her arms and removed the long gloves, freeing her fingers.

Lastly, he took off the harness from her head, including the cat-ears hairband, leaving her wearing the only permanent clothing item on her— the collar. He picked her weak frame up in his arms and brought her to the bed before tying the leash to a dedicated bar on the headboard.

By this time, Felicia was already out and was in a deep sleep. Alex's caring actions had made her feel comfortable and protected even in her weak and defenseless state and she'd gone right into a deep sleep.

"Did you like the show?" Alex asked Laura with a teasing tone. He could feel her highly aroused state and knew that she was very close to touching herself by the sexy view of Alex satisfying Fel the Cat.

"Fuck off." She huffed. She didn't want to admit that she found the view arousing.

"Are you sure?" Alex asked with a teasing tone, "I think you also want to be satisfied like how I satisfied Fel."

"I don't know what your deal with this…Fel is, but I'm not her." Laura tried to establish boundaries.

"Her name's Felicia." Alex said with a smile, "Fel's just her pet name that I use." He thought something, "Albeit in a more literal sense." He was amused.

Laura didn't address his bad joke and asked instead, "How…how could she just accept this…this arrangement?" Laura asked with a little stutter.

Alex didn't say anything and sat beside her, "Come here," He beckoned before sliding backward on the bed so that he was sitting beside Felicia while leaning against the headboard.

Laura thought for a moment and decided to humor him. She slid back and leaned against the headboard too, sitting beside him, "Fine… Now what?"

Alex looked at Felicia's sleeping visage and gently picked up her arm, "She's just a lost soul who found some semblance of comfort with me." He said as he created a leather cuff and slipped it around Felicia's wrist before tightening it.

Laura looked at his actions and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Cuffing her arms and legs." He said as if it was the most normal thing to do.

"I can see that, but why?" She asked with a frown, though her voice conveyed nothing but curiosity, "Wasn't she already tied up for like two hours on your so-called walk?"

"That's different." Alex said as he slipped the cuff over Felicia's other wrist and tightened it, "The moment that one wakes up can be an extremely vulnerable time. And when she opens her eyes first thing in the morning, I want her to know that I'm the one who owns her. She might have a job as my assistant, but her actual role in life is nothing more than being my pet."

"You realize how fucked up that sounds, right?" Laura had to ask.

"Of course." Alex nodded, "That's why I told you that I went full no-restraints on this planet. And, you need to understand, she likes being my pet."

Alex's words baffled Laura, "How can anyone like something like this?" She asked.

"Did you see even the slightest hint of a frown on her face whenever you saw her? Any dissatisfaction with my treatment of her?" He asked more questions in return, "Initially, I had to get her to open up about trying out pet play. But once we started, she genuinely liked it. And I leaned her toward that direction, making sure that she could come into touch with and truly embrace that side of her. That's why she seems so happy to do that stuff with me."

His words seemed to affect Laura and she thought for a while, "It's one thing to do something like this as a once in a while sex thing…" She said, "But to do something like that as a lifestyle… To do it every day, knowing that you're going to keep going further and further until you aren't even truly human anymore…" She was just soliloquizing, not expecting Alex to say anything.

"Is that all her life is?" Laura asked Alex, "Work as your assistant by day, be your pet by night, and repeat?"

"Oh no, not at all." Alex said, "The walks happen when she clocks out after she's done with her work. We walk for two hours where I pamper her and maybe give her a treat every once in a while." Laura noticed that Alex's tone was a little weird when he talked about the 'treat' but didn't say anything.

"When we're done, I send her back home. She's free most nights." He said.

"So today was because of me?" Laura thought that he'd made Felicia sleep here because he wanted to set an example.

"No." He shook his head, "As you might've heard me say, her orgasms are an extremely controlled thing. She is not allowed or even able to cum by herself. The only orgasms she has are the ones that I give her." He said, "When the inevitable days where I give her an orgasm arrive, I train her a bit further. Things like this." He showed Laura the cuff that he'd just slipped on Felicia's other ankle.

Laura just shook her head, "I'm fucking exhausted." She said with a tired tone before moving forward and slumping on her pillow, "Finish up quickly, I wanna cuddle." She said while looking away. She still wanted to maintain the status that she was angry with him, but she was too used to his comfortable presence.

"Fuck, you've been training me too, haven't you?" She realized it after she connected the dots of Alex's explanation with her dependence on him.

He just shrugged, "I just gave you so much attention and love that you couldn't help but develop a dependence on me." He said flatly, "I guess you could call it training."

That shut Laura up and she felt a lump in her throat that stopped her from saying anything further. She could tell that Alex was hurt by her words, and she could feel that feeling in its most raw state from their empathetic connection, "I'm sorry…" She apologized, "I'm just too riled up after you dropped this bomb on me. I exploded on you for the wrong thing."

"It's fine." Alex sighed as he turned Felicia to her side and brought her arms behind her back before connecting them through a chain. He attached that chain to the cuffs on her ankles which were also attached together. Lastly, he attached the set of chains to the back of her collar. That made her fold her legs a little since the chain connecting them to her arms was a little shorter.

She was effectively in a light hogtie position while lying on her side. Alex lay down and put an arm under her head before pulling her close to himself and putting her in a somewhat more comfortable position.

"Come here." He offered his other arm to Laura who quietly got close to him and snuggled up to him, "Night, Alex." She closed her eyes, too tired to do or say anything else.

…

Felicia's eyes fluttered open as a beam of light hit her face. The curtains weren't sufficiently closed and that allowed some of the light to enter the room.

Still tired from the aftermath of the previous night, she tried to turn away from the light before closing her eyes again. The keyword being tried. Just as she tried to turn around, she felt a familiar warm arm wrapped around her waist. She was held tightly and it would be almost impossible to get free from it.

As her eyes focused, she saw Alex's face right in front of her, 'Burn my face into your memory, Fel. I'm your owner, your master, and the answer to your everything. Your pleasure belongs to me.' His words echoed through her mind as she realized her current state.

Her arms and legs were tied behind her back and she wasn't even able to straighten her legs without choking herself. As the dread of helplessness crept through her mind, she felt Alex unconsciously trailing his palm along her lower back. It made her shiver and she forgot that helplessness in front of the warmth and comfort that the man in front of her could give her.

She exhaled and smiled with an almost wry expression, but her eyes were filled with a light of relief as she gazed at his sleeping visage. She gently licked his cheek and let out a meow sound before giggling to herself, 'Honestly, this is so weird…' She thought to herself, 'Yet, I like it... He's pretty cool too.'

Her eyes inadvertently moved to Alex's other side where Laura's sleeping visage was visible, also cuddled up with Alex, 'She just appeared out of nowhere… I'm sure of it. He has far more powers than what he showed me…' Felicia thought to herself, 'Whatever, not like it matters. With powers like that, the world is in his hands. Not to mention his public identity…'

Felicia's internal monologuing lasted for a while as every once in a while, she would lightly wiggle and fix her posture. She was generally comfortable, even with the ties on her wrists and ankles, but she still needed to move every once in a while.

Every once in a while, she would lightly lick Alex's cheek or neck and meow cutely before giggling to herself as if it were some inside joke of hers.

Soon enough though, she noticed that Alex's eyes were open when she meowed and giggled to herself. Feeling a blush creeping up her cheeks, Felicia greeted meekly, "Good morning, sir."

"That's not how a good pet greets their master, right?" Alex asked teasingly as his hand made its way lower and he cupped her butt.

She shook her head before hesitating lightly, but nonetheless, she licked his face and meowed with a cute tone. She blushed and felt embarrassed.

"That's my good Fel." Alex kissed her forehead as she closed her eyes, "I don't get why doing this is embarrassing to you while I'm awake when you were comfortably licking and meowing at me repeatedly while you thought I was asleep." Alex's words froze Felicia and she could only bury her head in the crook of his neck and whine cutely to hide her embarrassment.
