"More, sir-" He amended, his breath coming out in short bursts. His chest heaved forward a little, causing his weight to drop and his wrists to dink even deeper into the restraints. He yelped when he felt the first sting of his blood touching the open air once more, his skin curling where the warm liquid slid down it. His back instinctively strained away from the blows but he forced himself towards Tao, bracing his knees, his weight pressed into the floor.
