Because I Want To
The next day, Siu was heading off to his treatment earlier than usual when Chloe called him to a stop at the foot of the stairs.
"The scout's hand from yesterday didn't lose its color overnight. Her sense of touch dulled a little, but she could still move it."
"That's a relief. Thank you for letting me know."
"You're going to my sister again today?"
"Yes. There's still the treatment I couldn't finish yesterday."
Chloe glanced down at Siu's hands for a moment.
"Don't overdo it. If it gets to be too much, you can rest and finish later."
Siu curled his fingers closed, then open. After a full night's rest, the heavy ache in his arms had mostly eased.
"If it gets too hard, I'll stop early."
Only after Chloe stepped aside did Siu climb the stairs.
The servant posted outside the door announced his name within and opened it, and once Siu alone had stepped through, the door closed behind him.
Karina sat at her desk with an outer robe draped over her nightclothes. The ledger and the record sheet left lying out were exactly as they had been, though at the bottom of the paper one more line had been added since Siu had gone.
"Lock the door."
Siu slid the inner bolt into place, and after confirming the click, he returned to the desk.
"I heard it from the Young Matriarch. The woman I treated yesterday could still move her fingers through the night, they said."
"Yeah. I heard."
Karina tapped the record sheet.
"My hand went cold again around midnight. By morning I could hold a pen."
"I'm sorry I couldn't finish your treatment yesterday."
"I'm the one who told you to go. We can do it today."
Siu pulled the armchair out from where it stood just past the desk's corner on Karina's right and sat down facing her at an angle. He took her outstretched right hand first and examined the color at her fingertips.
It was no longer white the way it had been before yesterday's treatment began. When he pressed the edge of a nail and let go, the color returned almost at once.
Without even looking at her hand, Karina named each finger he pressed. At the tip of her little finger, the answer came a little slower.
"There's still sensation even now. But there's a chill at the ends."
"The hands can wait. Start with what we couldn't finish yesterday."
Karina undid the sash of her robe and pulled the front open. The buttons of her nightshirt slipped loose, one, then two. When the lowest button came free, the thin frost clinging beneath her collarbone and across the upper swell of her chest was revealed.
Turning her body toward Siu, Karina pointed beneath her right breast.
"It's cold from here."
Siu slipped his right hand inside her nightshirt. As he cupped the underside of her breast with his palm, cold, soft flesh pressed in between his fingers. He sent his Warmth into the spot his palm touched.
"Is this the right spot?"
"A little higher."
Karina pressed up on the back of Siu's hand, and the side of his middle finger brushed against a stiffly erect nipple.
Mmh-♡
A short moan escaped her, and her breast trembled in his palm. Karina didn't take away the hand pressing down on his.
"Do that again."
"...Here?"
"Yes. Properly this time."
Siu caught the nipple between his thumb and forefinger and squeezed lightly. The stiffened flesh slipped out from between his fingers before he caught it again.
Hah...♡
Karina's back lifted a little away from the chair. One hand braced against the edge of the desk while the other slowly stroked the back of Siu's hand. Her fingertips traced between his knuckles, slid down to his wrist, then traveled back up.
Too slow to be a motion meant to guide a treatment.
"It doesn't hurt?"
"No. Before, I couldn't feel anything even when this place was touched."
"It seems more of the sensation has come back."
"I suppose so. Once more."
This time he rubbed the tip of the nipple slowly with his thumb. Karina watched the place where his fingers moved, then lifted her eyes to Siu's face.
Siu looked away first. The chill beneath his palm had all but vanished, yet the nipple had grown harder than it had been moments before.
"Your face has gone red."
"Because I'm touching your chest."
"I told you to."
"...That doesn't make it any less embarrassing."
Instead of answering, Karina drew Siu's wrist a little further, and his palm pressed deep into the round swell of her breast.
Siu checked the places he had touched again, but it was difficult to find any spot still cold.
"This part is done. Now I'll see to both hands."
When he withdrew his Warmth, the grip on his wrist loosened as well. As Siu pulled his hand from her chest, Karina drew only the hem of her robe across her open nightshirt.
She held out her right hand first, and Siu sent Warmth from her wrist down to her fingertips before treating the left in the same order. The left hand, colder than the right, took a little longer.
He had her curl and uncurl her fingers, and even checked whether she could tell where they touched. When both hands moved alike, Siu was the one to let go first.
"I'll stop here for today."
"Was it hard on you today too?"
"No. Just a little stiff."
Siu pulled the record sheet toward him, wrote down her condition before treatment, then asked Karina the time and added it. He started to write that the sensation in her chest had grown clearer than before, then stopped himself.
"Write down that the sensation came back earlier, too."
Karina was watching the tip of Siu's pen.
"I wasn't sure how to write it."
"Write that the sensation returned."
"Should I write what kind of sensation, too?"
"...Don't write that. I'm the only one who needs to know."
Siu wrote a brief note and set down the quill. He was moving to slide the paper back toward the inner edge of the desk so the ink wouldn't smear when Karina's left hand closed around his left wrist.
"Lady Karina?"
Still holding Siu's left wrist, Karina rose from her seat and came around the corner of the desk. Her robe, sash undone, fell open again, and her chest showed plainly through the gap in her unbuttoned nightshirt.
When his captured hand was drawn toward the back of the room, Siu pushed against the floor with his feet and angled the chair aside, one front leg scraping the floorboards.
Karina, standing between his knees, set the captured hand down on the armrest, and her left hand rose straight to Siu's cheek.
"You keep dodging me, don't you?"
Her thumb pressed down on his lower lip. As Siu lifted his head, silver hair spilled down beside his cheek.
Karina's lips closed over his.
Startled, Siu twisted his head away, and her lips grazed the corner of his mouth before parting from it. When he braced his left hand against her shoulder to open a small gap, Karina stopped without pressing closer.
"Wh-wait, just a moment."
"Why?"
"I think it's just because your body's getting better."
Karina gazed quietly into Siu's eyes.
"It's not because of the treatment. Right now, I'm doing this because I want to."
The hand against his cheek stayed still. Karina lowered her head again, but this time she stopped a hand-span short of his lips.
"Are you going to dodge again?"
Siu lowered the left hand he'd rested on her shoulder down to the armrest. His right hand remained where it was, on the opposite one.
"..."
Their lips met once more. This time, he didn't turn his head away.
Chuuwp-♡
Karina's tongue slipped between his parted lips, its tip sweeping through his mouth before it found Siu's tongue and wound around it. When Siu reflexively drew his tongue back, the wet muscle followed slowly after.
Mmnh...♡
Shlrrp-♡
Karina sucked on his tongue, long and slow. The hand cradling his cheek rose to the nape of his neck and held his head steady. She stepped one pace closer between his knees.
She nipped lightly at his wet lips and pulled, then mingled her tongue with his again.
Chuwp-♡ Chuuwp-♡
Their lips parted for a moment. Before the strand of saliva stretching between them could break, Karina sealed her mouth over his again. Siu didn't wrap his arms around her first—but he didn't avoid the kiss, either.
Karina's right hand undid the buttons of Siu's uniform from the top down. As the shirt fell open, her palm swept over his bare chest, and every time her thumb grazed a nipple, the muscles of his lower belly tightened.
"You're feeling it too, aren't you."
Karina pulled her lips away and looked down. The front of his trousers was tented outward.
Her right hand came down from his chest and closed around the thick outline straining against the fabric. Siu's thighs went rigid and his lower back pressed into the chair.
"...My lady?"
Karina's fingers shifted toward his waistband. When Siu caught her wrist with his right hand, the movement halted at once.
"Stop here?"
Still gripping her wrist, he took a moment to catch his breath. Karina didn't rush him.
"...Please, slowly."
Siu released her wrist and lowered his right hand back to the armrest.
"Then lift your hips."
When he raised them, Karina undid the drawstring and button of his trousers and tugged his underwear down along with them to mid-thigh.
His cock, freed from where it had been pressed down, sprang up and struck against his lower belly. A bead of clear precum clung to the tip of his flushed-red glans.
Without touching it, Karina looked him over from top to bottom. Siu tried to pull his knees together; blocked by her legs planted between them, he moved his left hand to cover himself instead.
"...Don't stare at it like that."
"It's the first one I've ever seen."
"Still, not from this close..."
"You're my bedroom servant, aren't you."
"...Yes."
"Then don't hide it. I want to look."
Siu closed his mouth and slowly returned the hand he'd been about to cover himself with to the armrest.
Karina's gaze traveled from the glans down the length of the shaft and back up again. Each time her eyes moved, his cock pulsed, lifting a little higher.
"It's staying hard."
"...Isn't that how it's supposed to be?"
"I was taught that men have trouble getting it up in the first place, and that even once it stands, it sinks again soon enough."
Siu looked up at Karina.
"You said this was your first time seeing one in person."
"Even so, I know at least that much."
Her fingers slipped inside his open shirt and stroked a nipple once. His cock rose even stiffer than it had been while pressed down inside his trousers.
The corner of Karina's mouth curled up.
"So it's because of me?"
"...My lady."
"Hold still."
The commanding note in her voice was the same as always. When Karina teased just beneath the glans with her forefinger, his cock bobbed upward.
Mmph-
Two fingers pressed in against either side of the shaft. She traced slowly along the bulging vein down to the root, gauging his thickness, then spread her palm flat to support him from below. When Karina lifted a little, his cock settled its heavy weight onto her palm. Her gaze wandered between the motion in her hand and Siu's face.
"It's heavier than I expected."
"...Don't say that kind of thing out loud."
"Why? Is it embarrassing?"
In place of an answer, Siu's ears burned hot. Karina's thumb pushed slowly up along the thick vein, from root to just beneath the glans.
Nnh-
When her thumb settled below the glans, his cock pulsed again, as though trying to shove her fingertip away.
"It keeps moving."
"Because you're staring at it."
"Just from being watched?"
Karina rubbed the fluid beading at the tip of the glans with her thumb. The clear liquid stretched into a fine thread between her fingers.
"What's this?"
"...It's precum."
"And it isn't semen?"
"I haven't ejaculated yet. Semen only comes out then."
"I want to see that too."
Karina spread the precum slowly around the rim of the glans, then wrapped one hand around the shaft. Her first grip carried far too much force.
When Siu's hips flinched upward, her hand stopped immediately.
"Does it hurt?"
"A little."
Her fingers slackened. Keeping her eyes on Siu's face, Karina slid her palm down to the root, then eased her grip and pushed slowly back up to the glans.
Shlick-♡
The skin pressed beneath her wet palm dragged upward. Each time her hand swallowed the glans, the rigid shaft leapt hard between her fingers.
"Is this pressure alright?"
"...Yes."
Her hand came back down with the same force. When her thumb crossed the hollow beneath the glans, Siu's chin rose.
Nngh-
"Seems you like it better here."
Karina set the glans in the center of her palm and slowly circled and rubbed. At first her hand slipped off course before completing a full turn, but after watching which way Siu's hips moved, she changed the angle of her wrist.
This time, her thumb tracked the rim with perfect precision.
"Hhk- not there..."
"Should I stop?"
Siu caught Karina's wrist. When her hand went still, his cock jumped once more, hard, under her thumb.
"There... just a little slower, please..."
When he released the wrist he'd caught, Karina pressed the same spot more slowly than before. Siu gripped the armrests and let his knees drift a little apart, the clothes snagged on his thighs pulling taut.
Squelch-♡
The hand swept long from root to glans and came back along the same path. Karina stepped closer between his knees, and beneath her open nightshirt her stiffened nipples came into view.
When Siu's gaze landed there, Karina spoke.
"It's been like this ever since you touched me earlier."
"...I suppose it's because the sensation came back."
"It does this even while I'm looking at your face."
Unable to answer, Siu turned his eyes to the record sheet on the desk.
Karina went on watching him without moving, her right hand still wrapped around him.
Once his ragged breathing had eased a little, her thumb pressed lightly on the very tip of the glans.
"Shall I keep going?"
"...Do as you please."
"Then look at me."
Siu lifted his eyes from the record sheet and looked at Karina.
Her right hand began to move again. She stroked long from root to glans, all the way to the wrist, and the precum smeared across her palm and the whole length of the shaft.
Shlick-♡ Squelch-♡
Each time she came up, Karina cupped the glans in her palm and stroked it; on the way down she narrowed her fingers slightly to graze the shaft.
Her left hand tipped up Siu's chin, then cradled the nape of his neck, and her lips covered his once more.
Chuuwp-♡
Even as her tongue plunged deep, the slow strokes of her right hand never faltered.
Squelch-♡
Siu's breath broke apart against her lips. Karina stirred her tongue deep one more time, then bit at his wet lip and pulled.
Shlrrp-♡
Hah...♡
When their lips came apart, Siu leaned his head back against the chair and gulped for air. Karina's left hand slid from his nape down to his chest. As her thumb pressed into a nipple, the strokes of her right hand narrowed to just below the glans.
His cock shook violently between her soaked fingers.
Chup-♡ Shlup-♡ Chup-♡
"Nnh- Lady Karina..."
"You feel it here too, don't you?"
"I'm nngh- not your patient."
"I know. But I still have to confirm which places feel good."
Karina changed her speed every time Siu opened his mouth. She slid slowly down to the root, then near the glans she tightened her fingers and worked them fast.
His thighs trembled and the muscles of his lower belly clenched tight. Fresh precum welled from the tip of the glans, wetting down to Karina's knuckles.
"Hah...♡ It feels like it's swelling even bigger inside my hand."
Shallow breaths had slipped into Karina's voice as well. When Siu raised his gaze, her nipples stood stiffly bare between the open folds of her nightshirt, and she didn't turn away from his eyes.
Shlup-♡ Chup-♡ Shlup-♡ Chup-♡
"Lady Karina, wait..."
"Why?"
"If you keep going like this, it'll come out soon."
"That's the semen, right?"
"...Yes. It'll get on your hand."
"I don't care. I want to see it."
Karina leaned in close to Siu's face, her right hand never stopping.
Chup-♡ Chup-♡ Shlup-♡
"Hhk- I'm about to..."
Siu's left hand left the armrest and caught Karina's right wrist. Karina stopped her hand at once and looked into his face.
Siu let the strength drain from the wrist he'd caught.
Karina's left hand took him by the chin and raised it.
"Don't look away."
Blue eyes were right in front of him. When Siu didn't avert his gaze, the corners of Karina's mouth lifted.
"Watch properly when you come. See exactly who your owner is."
Her right hand sank to the root, then pushed up toward the glans with a firm grip. Her thumb bore into the slick rim, her forefinger wrapped beneath the crown, and her wrist pumped fast once more.
Squelch-♡ Chup-♡ Shlup-♡
Nnh-!
Bwurrt-♡ Bwurrrrt-♡
The first rope of semen surged from the tip of the glans and poured hot between Karina's thumb and forefinger. The white fluid that burst after filled the gaps between her fingers, and some of it streaked in long lines as far as Siu's lower belly.
His hips lifted off the chair, and his clenching cock shivered in her palm, forcing out the last of his semen.
Bwurt-♡ Bwurrrrrt-♡
The semen matted between her fingers pooled in the center of her palm, then ran slowly toward her wrist.
Karina didn't spread her fingers until the spasms had died down—instead she kept moving, slow and steady. Siu stayed pinned against the chair back, both hands loose on the armrests, heaving for breath. A line of semen that had dripped beneath his open shirt trickled down beside his navel.
A faint blend of Siu's sweat and the briny tang of freshly spilled semen hung in the room.
Karina slowly opened her right hand. The semen caught between her fingers stretched into gossamer strands before dropping onto her palm.
Blue eyes that had been checking its color and thickness against the light finally rose to Siu.
"So this is... a man's semen?"
"...Yes."
Siu answered, still steadying breaths that hadn't quite settled.
Karina looked back down at the semen pooled in her palm. When she parted her fingers a little, the white fluid drew out in thin strands.
"This much?"
"It's probably different for every person."
"You don't know exactly either, do you?"
"There's no way to know how much another man lets out."
The corner of Karina's mouth curled up. With her clean left hand, she pointed at the desk's lower drawer.
"There's a cloth in there."
Karina stepped aside, and Siu drew the chair back toward the desk and pulled a dry cloth from the drawer. Karina held out her right hand.
"Wipe it for me."
"...You could just wipe it yourself."
"And who made my hand like this?"
Siu closed his mouth and began wiping from her wrist down. As he cleaned the back of her hand and between her fingers, Karina obediently spread her palm for him.
With the clean part of the cloth that remained, he wiped down to his own lower belly, then dragged his trousers and underwear up from his thighs. His strength hadn't fully returned, and he fumbled the button several times before it caught. He fastened his shirt buttons as well, while Karina drew her robe shut and tied the sash.
Siu set the used cloth down at the edge of the desk and made for the door—then a voice came from behind him.
"Come again tomorrow at the same time."
His hand, already reaching for the bolt, stopped.
"The treatments I'd been putting off are all finished as of today."
"I know."
When Siu turned around, Karina was looking down at her freshly cleaned right hand, her thumb slowly rubbing across her palm.
"Come even when there's no treatment."
"...Yes."
