That sounded like Lance had hit back, but the Prince could heal himself, so it wouldn’t be as big of a deal.
Some blood was on the floor, and a few things had been knocked off a shelf that held dishes and glassware. It seemed the Prince hadn’t wanted Felix to see the evidence of the violence. They both went into the sitting room.
“He’ll never touch you again,” said Prince Rainier. “I promise. Please come with me. Let me spoil and take care of you.”
“But why?” asked Felix. “Why are you so insistent that I come with you and still be your Kitten?”
“Because a good submissive shouldn’t be ruined,” said Prince Rainier.
“I’m not ruined!”
“I’m not saying you are, but I think a submissive who’s been mistreated should have time and be taken care of. Whores don’t exactly get long-term caretaking from anyone, and I think traumatic events might be worse when you always have new customers that you have to deal with. Every time you play with someone, you’ll have to learn what they like and want, and you'll also be on your guard more for a while because this will be so fresh in your mind. You'll pack this down in your head to focus on work, and I don't think that's healthy.”
He had a point there. It would be a lot easier to serve one guy who hadn’t done anything. If he was working, he would try to shove things back while he worried about what others wanted.
And honestly, it would be nice if someone took care of Felix for a change. He was always taking care of other men’s sexual needs, but nobody did anything for him beyond the basics. Even though he liked his work, he was rather like a toy to be set aside after a couple of hours. Customers came to Pierced Pretties to worry about their own pleasure first.
"Okay, but I'm not wearing a gag," said Felix. "Never again."
"I'll never ask you to again."
Chapter Four
Thankfully, Felix said yes, so Rainier didn’t have to drop him off at the whorehouse and hope he was all right. He had to take Felix in the back way. He'd have to tell Mum in case she ever spotted him because she’d wonder why a strange man was inside their home.
He had the whole top floor to himself, so he could skip that for the moment. She never came up there.
In his bedroom, he dropped the bag of cat stuff on the bed. Felix was looking at himself in the looking glass on the bedroom wall. Besides the Prince’s cloak, he also had his coat underneath it, and that was it. He’d been naked when he left the whorehouse, and Tab hadn’t sent his things yet.
“I feel like a beggar,” said Felix.
“You’re not a beggar,” said Rainier. “I know you have stuff, but I was planning to bring over some nice clothes for you once your three days were up.”
He undid the clasp on the cloak, and Felix shot him a suspicious look, but he allowed it.
“You should take a bath,” said Rainier. “I can’t stay with you right now because my Auntie and cousin are here.”
“Oh, you have to go see them?”
“Yes. I wasn’t supposed to leave at all because Mum gets annoyed if I do when family comes over, but I felt bad about not seeing you for three whole days or only coming at night.”
Thank Elira he'd gone to check on Felix.
“Why did you bring me over there yesterday?”
Rainier sighed. “I’d already scheduled things with Tab at Pierced Pretties, and Mum told me last minute that they’d be coming by. They don’t live that far, and I guess she didn't think I needed any further notice.”
Felix still seemed a little unsure of him and everything else, but Rainier had meant it when he said he hadn’t intended to find a slave to brutalize and abuse. Considering the suspicion, he’d been right to keep and bring his new Kitten here.
It wouldn’t be fair to send him back when he was so shaken up.
At the gate, Rainier had poked his head out of his carriage to tell a guard where to send someone to arrest Lance. Mum would have to know, and he wasn’t looking forward to that either.
Once Felix was naked, Rainier led him into the tiled bathing room and started to get the sunken tub ready for him. Felix seemed rather awed by the size of it since it could hold about six people, not that Rainier wanted to take a bath with that many people. Hot and cold water came from two pipes in the wall.
“What do you like for scents?” He pointed at a shelf near the tub that held colored glass bottles of oils, creams for the body, soaps, and drying sheets on the bottom.
Felix squinted at the bottles which weren't all labeled. “Do you have orange?”
