Solo For Two

“Karel.”“……”“Come here, let’s sleep together.”But Karel didn’t turn his head.“Show me your face, okay?”“Why do you want to see an ugly face?”Sasha was at a loss for words and opened his mouth.‘He must be upset.’Sasha quickly regained his composure and tried to soothe Karel.“I’m sorry, it was my fault. I made a mistake because I was drunk.”“Most people speak their true feelings when they’re drunk.”Sasha found himself at a loss for words again.“No, I said something I didn’t mean. You’re so beautiful.”Sasha lowered his head and kissed Karel’s golden eyelashes and the shadows they cast several times. But Karel didn’t erase the disappointed expression from his face.Sasha kept kissing his face lightly, trying to get him to turn over, but Karel’s stubbornly resisting body didn’t budge. Unable to do anything else, Sasha clung to Karel’s back, pressed his forehead against it, and fell into silent thought. Soon, he closed his flickering eyes and fell asleep.Once Sasha’s breathing had completely quieted, Karel finally turned over. He then carefully smoothed the furrowed brow of the frowning, worry-laden Sasha who had fallen asleep. As Karel looked down at his face, a faint smile played at the corners of his mouth.Sasha didn’t realize that Karel had been teasing him since the early evening. It was a prank he had put some effort into.‘He didn’t even let me touch him.’

The day Sasha returned from a business trip after two weeks, he had no idea how much Karel had tormented him. To be honest, Karel also liked Sasha when he was drunk. This was separate from his concern about limiting Sasha’s drinking to prevent any signs of addiction.Since long ago, Sasha tended to be much softer and more honest when he was drunk. It would be a lie to say Karel didn’t expect something that night. He could have tried various things, using the excuse that Sasha’s memory would be fuzzy from the alcohol.But who would have thought that after drinking seven bottles, Sasha would start ranting like that…Karel decided to torment Sasha just a little bit. As always, it was a delight to see Sasha wanting him.＊ ＊ ＊The next day, Sasha woke up lying flat on the bed. He was the only one there.There were no thick arms hugging his neck so tightly he could barely breathe, nor were there any thighs pinning his legs so he couldn’t move. His clothes were always pulled up, with Karel usually groping his bare skin, but today, his clothes were neatly in place.Sasha pulled up his pajamas to check his chest. His nipples, which Karel often tormented while he slept, were unmarked and had been left untouched.‘This can’t be.’Sasha felt perplexed. Even though Karel had returned and they had slept in the same bed, his body felt refreshingly clean, and his clothes were neatly worn. It was hard to believe.Sensing that something was off, Sasha decided he needed to win back Karel’s heart somehow. He knew that passive temptations like suggesting they bathe together or go to bed early, like the night before, wouldn’t work anymore.Sasha wanted to make an offer Karel couldn’t refuse.What crossed Sasha’s mind was a story that Georg had whispered to him about Karel in his prime. It was when Karel was working as a spy in Paris, which was quite a long time ago.At that time, Karel was under great pressure due to the situation around him and was always on edge. He would relieve stress by producing “shows” for the perverted nobles at a patron’s club.Georg, speaking with a tone of certainty, said that Karel might claim it was just a “disguise,” but he probably enjoyed it halfway.‘You like hitting people, don’t you?’‘Hitting them…’‘Do you enjoy seeing them break down? Anyway, he seemed to like making people tremble in fear, cry, and beg. It was almost too much for me. I thought, “This isn’t a joke; if he doesn’t stop now, that person’s going to die.” But he’d take just one more step beyond that… Knowing where to stop, well, I think that’s a talent too. He was brilliant at torturing prisoners on the battlefield.’Georg had looked at Sasha with a slight pity as he spoke, perhaps thinking Sasha would suffer from Karel’s tendencies. However, Sasha, who had never really found enduring Karel particularly difficult, had brushed off both Georg’s pitiful gaze and the talk of Karel’s tendencies.Seven years ago in Paris… Sasha also remembered how rudely Karel behaved in bed back then.The moment Sasha remembered it, a shiver ran down his spine.‘This is it.’Sasha immediately got up and began wandering around the house. He needed to find an appropriate “rod.” Sasha, having heard a thing or two, initially thought of leather belts or canes, but he quickly dismissed the idea. If Karel used such things on him, Sasha would likely end up with serious injuries.‘But asking him to hit me with his bare hands…’Sometimes, Karel would lightly smack Sasha’s buttocks or face during sex. But since they’d already done that too often, it wasn’t particularly special anymore.In the end, Sasha went out to the garden. He circled the trees, searching for a suitable branch to use as a switch. The branch he chose was slightly longer than his arm and bent with a nice, flexible curve.Sasha tried lightly striking his palm with it. He didn’t feel much. When he struck harder, there was a faint sting. Charles had said it would hurt a lot, but it seemed that was just a child’s exaggeration.After stripping the branch of twigs and leaves, Sasha drew a fragrant bath and carefully washed his body. Then, he headed to Karel’s study, holding the ash tree branch in one hand.“Karel, if you’re not busy, can I see you?”As Karel looked up, Sasha approached. Sasha walked right up to the desk and silently placed the branch on top of it.Karel alternated between looking at the switch and Sasha’s face. After a moment, he repeated the action once more.“What does this mean?”“It means I want to be punished.”“……”“Karel, I was wrong. What I said about you being ugly isn’t true. I know I can’t take back what I said, but please forgive me.”Sasha lowered his eyes, finding it hard to meet Karel’s gaze. If Karel noticed his heart racing with a bit of anticipation, he would be too embarrassed.Karel picked up the branch and seemed to test its flexibility by bending it slightly at both ends. Sasha involuntarily swallowed as Karel’s gloved hand ran along the slender branch.Karel smirked.“Where do you think you’re going to get hit?”With a dry voice and a smirk pulling at one corner of his mouth, Sasha couldn’t bring himself to say “my buttocks,” so he hid his true thoughts.“My palms….”“……”“Or my calves….”Suddenly, the switch flew toward him, and Sasha closed his eyes tightly. But he didn’t feel any pain. Karel tapped Sasha’s chest lightly with the end of the switch.“Take off your clothes. Then bend over the desk.”“You want me to take off my clothes?”It’s starting.Sasha asked in response, but even as he did, he began loosening his tie in front of Karel. They were so used to undressing in front of each other that there was no reason to suddenly feel shy about being naked.His slender, long fingers deftly undid all the buttons. Soon, his smooth, well-toned white body was exposed. Just as Sasha hung his shirt on the chair, Karel spoke.“You need to take off your pants too.”Karel’s eyes remained fixed on Sasha’s flat abdomen and the area below it, causing Sasha’s hands to tremble slightly this time. The pants that had been clinging to his slender legs were soon removed.After that, Sasha started to lie down on the desk, still wearing his underwear.“I’m only going to whip you. Take off all your clothes yourself.”“Okay….”In the end, Sasha bent over the desk with his white buttocks exposed.It was still bright outside. In the blink of an eye, he was the only one naked again. Resting his cheek against the wooden desk, looking at the study from an unfamiliar angle, his mind became dazed as he wondered what he was doing.Karel got up and approached Sasha. He whispered in his ear.“Don’t lift your back.”“Okay.”“And don’t move your hands.”“Okay.”The switch lightly grazed the surface of his buttocks, tickling him. Sasha asked urgently,“H-how many times are you going to hit me?”“Until I’m satisfied.”Sasha realized then that Karel wouldn’t stop until he cried. He hadn’t even been hit once yet, but suddenly he regretted it.‘It’s going to hurt, isn’t it? It’ll hurt. Should I stop now….’But thinking about how Karel had accepted the switch without any hesitation when Sasha handed it to him made it difficult to back out. Sasha had wanted to make an offer Karel couldn’t refuse, and knowing that his idea had worked made it even harder to give up now.At the same time, he felt a little incredulous.‘How much did you want to hit me all this time?’As he tensed up, the sound of a whip crack echoed, followed by a sharp sting. His back muscles contracted as he flinched.Sasha thought something was strange. It hurt much more than when he had tested the switch on himself earlier.‘It hurts… Why does it hurt so much?’The sound of the switch slicing through the air came again, and a stinging pain spread across his buttocks. By the third and fourth strike, his buttocks started to feel warm. After each strike, Karel gently stroked the area with the switch. This made Sasha’s sensitive nerves prickle, making him want to pull away.Sasha finally understood why Karel had told him not to lift his back. After being struck, his instinct was to lift his back to alleviate the pain even slightly. Forcing himself to endure it, Sasha’s smooth back quickly became slick with sweat.Karel traced a long finger down Sasha’s spine, following the path of the sweat that had pooled there. It was a simple caress, but Sasha trembled, lowering his head. He seemed much more sensitive than usual. Seeing that Sasha was holding up relatively well, Karel gripped the reddened buttocks with his gloved hand and squeezed. The sudden pain made Sasha moan and beg.“Haa… Karel. Karel.”The cold sensation of the leather gloves, which didn’t convey any warmth, made Sasha try to crawl forward on the desk. As soon as he did, Karel immediately struck him five times in quick succession.In the end, Sasha couldn’t hold back his sobs and lifted his body.“Karel, stop… Let’s stop.”But as soon as he turned around, his legs gave out, and Sasha slid down to the floor, leaning against the desk.“Stand up, we’re not done yet.”“You… it hurts too much, Karel.”“It hurts?”Karel lifted Sasha’s trembling body and bent him over the desk again. Then he touched Sasha’s tense front.“Does it really just hurt?”“Yeah…”When Karel lightly kissed the back of Sasha’s neck, Sasha moaned. Sweat gathered on his smooth chin and cold sweat dripped down.Sasha reached back to touch the spot where he had been hit. The skin was hot. Karel pushed Sasha’s hand away and made him grip the edge of the desk again.“Hold on to the desk. And don’t reach back to cover the spot because it hurts. You’ll hurt your hands.”“Yeah, ugh… hngh…”At the mention of more strikes, Sasha finally burst into tears. Watching his back tremble slightly, Karel said,“Spread your legs.”“…K-Karel…”“Spread your legs, Sasha.”With Karel whispering in his ear again, Sasha let out a deep breath, trying to calm his breathing. ‘Don’t move,’ Karel’s bite on his ear made his body shudder. Deciding to stop thinking about whether he wanted more strikes or not, Sasha spread his legs about shoulder-width apart.In that moment, the switch, held vertically, slipped into the crevice of his buttocks. The sensation of it rubbing up and down the groove made Sasha arch his back involuntarily.“Don’t move.”A sharp sensation struck him in an unbelievable place. Unlike before, the clear, stinging pain shot up his spine.“Hah…”Sasha moaned and trembled.Karel struck the tender, sensitive flesh in between. The flexible branch seemed to dig into his flesh and then reluctantly pulled away. When Sasha’s knees wobbled and nearly buckled, Karel gently supported his waist and helped him stand up again.“Endure it.”As the sensation of the switch striking his perineum and entrance again hit him, tears streamed down Sasha’s face.The hole that had been struck tightened and then relaxed, trying to ease the pain. Sasha panted, unaware that Karel was watching this closely. Karel traced the swollen entrance with the end of the switch, as if reluctant to stop. Even that small stimulus made Sasha want to collapse again.“Hngh… It hurts, it hurts…”When Sasha started to cry from the pain, Karel finally stopped.“Stand up.”But Sasha’s legs gave out, and he couldn’t stand properly. Clicking his tongue, Karel approached and, holding Sasha from behind, carefully moved him to the daybed.He had only struck him ten times on the buttocks and ten times on the entrance. Karel had controlled his strength well, so Sasha could have easily endured a hundred strikes, but he decided to stop here. After all, he didn’t actually want to make him cry.“You’re such a baby…”At Karel’s words, Sasha suddenly began to cry more, as if feeling wronged.“It really hurts. I didn’t think it would hurt this much.”“……”“When I tried it on myself earlier, it didn’t hurt like this…”Now that Karel was being gentle again, the sadness seemed to hit Sasha even harder, and he sobbed, lying face down. Watching him, Karel didn’t dare mention that he had planned to strike him about a hundred times.Karel laid Sasha across his lap and removed his gloves. The swollen buttocks felt pleasantly warm. He could feel the heat radiating from the area around the entrance as well. Karel slowly stroked the reddened, swollen area with his fingers. Even that gentle touch brought a dull pain, and Sasha moaned.“Mm, mmm…”“You’re moaning like I’ve already put something inside you.”“It hurts…”Sasha sobbed pitifully, making hiccuping sounds. Karel sighed inwardly. Sasha had brought the switch himself, asking to be whipped. And yet…“You’re wet.”The perineum between Sasha’s legs had become swollen and red, and even the wrinkles around his anus were swollen, making the entrance even tighter. Karel gently pressed the tip of his middle finger inside. With hardly any pressure, his fingertip slipped in, and the hole sucked it in eagerly, as if it had been waiting for this all along during the whipping.Sweat dripped from Karel’s temple. Sasha’s firm buttocks and smooth thighs kept twitching, testing his patience. The urge to bury himself in that hot, tight, wet place surged within him, a desire akin to violence. If he hadn’t stopped whipping Sasha when he did, he might have ended up making him cry even harder.But the swollen entrance needed to be soothed first. Whether Sasha understood this or not, his tight inner walls squeezed Karel’s thick finger as he carefully inserted it. Karel withdrew his finger slightly and then inserted three fingers at once. They slid in easily.“I didn’t even loosen you up, but three fingers fit inside.”But Sasha shook his head, as if denying the state of his body. He was sure he was in pain.“No, don’t lie.”Perhaps wanting to hide the fact that he had gotten so aroused from being spanked, Sasha squirmed meaninglessly.“Lift your hips and support yourself with your arms. I’ll put some ointment on.”“There’s ointment?”Karel leaned down over Sasha’s raised hips and pressed his lips to the hot, swollen crevice.“It’s much hotter than usual.”“Aah… Ah, stop, don’t say that.”Sasha whimpered as Karel’s warm, soft lips brushed against the area, sensitive and sore from the pain. His reaction pleased Karel, who chuckled, making Sasha feel like he was going to lose his mind from the teasing. Karel’s prominent nose kept nudging his swollen buttocks.Karel grabbed Sasha’s swollen buttocks and spread them apart, then began licking the spot he had whipped as if to heal it. At first, he gently touched it with the tip of his tongue, worried it might hurt, but soon he was sucking and licking the swollen entrance with a wet sound. Sasha unconsciously let out a series of breathless moans, unable to bear the ticklish sensation inside.“No, stop…”“Stop what? This isn’t your first time.”“…….”“Just stay still. It’s still hot.”Sasha tried to hold back, but only moans escaped his lips. The act of wetting and sucking on his already sensitive area was so embarrassing that he wished he could just lose consciousness. Karel shamelessly made exaggerated wet sounds as he thoroughly sucked, then finally sat Sasha up after some time.“Mmm…”The area between his buttocks was wet with saliva, making Sasha feel strange, as if Karel had already ejaculated inside. Worried that Karel’s pants might get wet, Sasha supported himself on his knees and pulled Karel close. Karel’s patience seemed to have worn thin; his neck was slick with sweat.Sasha whispered against his neck.“Take your clothes off too… hurry.”“Are you sure?”“Hmm?”When Sasha questioned him, Karel slid his fingers back between Sasha’s buttocks, still swollen.“Ah…”While Sasha was off guard, Karel’s fingers slipped back inside, gently spreading him open. Licking his lips, Karel spoke.“It still hurts, doesn’t it?”
