Riley didn't have a minute to think before Tao was striking him, over and over again. He let his head hang down so that he could watch as the wood connected with his skin. Slowly but surely, his tanned skin became mottled with more and more red welts until his healthy sun-tan was completely hidden by the red discoloration. It stung, but didn't slice, and it felt damn good, finally. "Mm." He groaned, leaning forward into his arm restraints. He rolled his shoulders back and tilted his head to one side. He bared his teeth in an expression that was half grimace, half grin. "More." He groaned, egging the vampire on.
