down from the sponge she still held and over his chest as she turned his face towards hers.
Nathan dropped his hands to his side as he followed her touch around to the left. He turned no more than a quarter of the way before he was center with her again. Robin was perched up on the rim of the pool. She sat a little above him and ran her legs up his sides, displacing his arms until they draped over her knees. She squeezed her legs together to draw him in, and he did, until he was flat against the ledge she sat upon.
“Don’t move,” Robin whispered.
Her lips brushed against his. Nathan could taste her breath as she exhaled a hum against his mouth. She was so soft and for a long time she just hovered over him, lips pressed to his lightly. Her nose brushed his from side to side. He had never felt a caress so tender.
Robin’s breathing became more rapid the longer she held her mouth to his. It took everything not to kiss her, not to move. Nathan balled his hands into tight fists and buried his nails into his palms. Eventually she took more, exploring his lower lip with her tongue, and then deeper, pulling it gently with her teeth.
Nathan trembled as she ran her tongue over his and gasped as she pressed her heels into his bruised backside. He yelped against her mouth and brought his hand to her cheek, cupping it and cradling her face. Robin didn’t recoil at the touch but leaned over him further, claiming more dominion as she sucked on his tongue.
Her breath came out ragged when she finally pulled back. She tilted her head ever so slightly into his open hand. Her face was soft against his palm.
“ You’re beautiful,” Nathan breathed out against her lips as she pulled away from him. He let his hand slip away from her face as she straightened up. He felt her go rigid as his words made it across the space between them.
Robin laughed then, a disappointed little chuckle that soon turned cruel. It sucked the warmth out from between them. Nathan froze as a chill went down his back. He was suspended in a darkness that once again smothered.
“Do you know what I do here prince?” Her voice cut through the isolation of the blindfold , but it offered no comfort this time.
“No Mistress…” Nathan swallowed as he forced out the words.
“ I’ll tell you then. You see, the parties I serve deal in information. A small thing you might think, but you would be amazed at what a secret can buy. And a commodity like that doesn’t come easily. Some information can only be bought with force. That’s what I do. I motivate the most unwilling to part with their secrets so that my benefactors might profit.”
“You torture people,” Nathan whispered.
“Does it really surprise you so much?”
Nathan frowned behind the blindfold. He was surprised by the revelation but, in hindsight, he was more surprised that he hadn’t suspected it before. Robin was horribly cruel and fantastically equipped to inflict pain. It should have been obvious. He might be just another job for her, if she hadn’t made this so personal.
“If I ever had a chance at a different future it died the same day your men razed my village,” she continued on. Nathan wanted to reach out and touch her again, but she was inaccessible to him now.
“ I don’t just hurt our enemies either prince. I hurt friends too. You see, we have very strict rules here and whenever someone infringes on one of those rules it’s my job to see that they’re punished. Its motivation really, so that they don’t repeat their mistakes. Do you know what mistake you made?”
“I move d,” Nathan mumbled, “after you told me not to.” Acknowledging her rules made him feel empty again. It made him sad, but whether he was sad for himself or sad for her he couldn’t tell.
“ I suppose you did.” Robin wave dismissively, but in darkness the gesture was lost to Nathan. He could hear it in her voice
