Riju gathered up the channelers and brought them over. If one setting worked, they all worked, so after putting it on the lowest, Trig touched each one to his finger.
“Good job,” he said when he finished. “Kit, get a bucket of water and a few rags so you can help clean up the chalk marks. I’ll put these up in the shop for tomorrow.”
Riju gave Kit a poke in the buttcheek with one when he stood.
“Ow!” Kit jerked away and rubbed at the spot.
Riju giggled and turned the bottom. “Do you want to try it on your balls?”
“Ehh, Master…” Not really.
Trig smirked. “We don’t need him howling and rolling around on the floor.”
Riju handed it to him. “I wasn’t really going to do it.”
While Kit and Riju cleaned up the chalk marks, Trig prepped the work table where Riju usually made the paddles. Once everything was ready, Kit had to sit in the chair by it.
“I think you can keep still while I do this,” said Trig. “You can have a few minutes between each one or I can get it done faster. Piercing isn’t usually a pain that people get off on, or at least I don’t think so, and since you don’t have any experience, you’re not familiar with it. You might hate it.”
“Okay, Master.”
“It’s quick, and the soreness is the main factor. You have to try to stay still, okay?”
Riju sat on the edge of the table, pushed up his glasses, and settled his glare on Trig.
“After this is done, you have to keep it clean, and I have balm that will help it heal much faster. Don’t fiddle with them while they’re healing because we don’t want them to get infected.” Trig noticed Riju staring at him. “What?”
“I still don’t like this. It’s not too late to change your mind.”
“It’s fine. I’m not changing my mind.”
“I don’t think it’s fine to alter any part of his body. I tried to tell myself it’s fine because it’s supposed to be you who makes the main decisions for our slave, but I do not like this part. Now that it's about to happen, I especially don't like it.”
Trig sighed. “He can take them out later if he wants, and it’s on his nipples. It’s not like we’re putting a giant hole in his face. He can hide the marks with a shirt, and after a time, they caneven seal up if he gives it long enough. We’re not putting in heavy, thick jewelry.”
“It’s still altering his body. If we cane him, that heals in a while, and it’ll be like it never happened.” Riju folded his arms. “After this heals, he’ll have a hole in each nipple. By the time he leaves, the holes could take months if he removes the jewelry.”
“We already talked about this last night. Why are you bringing it up again?”
“Just because you rolled over, went to sleep, and seemed to think it was a done deal doesn’t mean I did too.”
“For Elira’s sake. He signed the contract and agreed we could do whatever to him.”
“He probably thought it meant the general things a Master or dominant would do to a slave. Modifying someone’s body is not typical, and I don’t think it’s right to do it without permission even if it’s a small thing. I’m pretty sure it’s a general rule here not to do anything that alt-”
“Riju…can we not?”
“Would you punish him if he said no right now and tried to refuse?” demanded Riju.
“Yes, I’d punish him.”
Riju threw up his hands. “I don’t like that.”
“It wouldn’t be so much because of him refusing the piercing specifically,” said Trig. “I’d punish him on the principle of not obeying and being defiant. That should be obvious.”
Riju squinted. “I feel like you’re trying to trick me.”
“I’m not tricking you. He agreed to be our slave to make sure he obeys in future relationships. If he disobeys, he’ll be punished. I think it’s pretty clear, and it’s not like I’m cutting off a finger. I’m also not putting it on his face or doing anything that’ll cause a lot of problems later.”
