2A/N: So anyways, here's a little Shadouge for you. If you feel that the fic as written should be rated "M", then please talk to me about it and I'll understand. Just be nice, OK? I mean, I worked hard on this, and I'd hate to see it get deleted.
Tonight was a particularly quiet evening in the western portion of the Kingdom of Mobius, and Rouge the Bat was spending it in her bedroom in her mansion, curled up with the book Close Enough to Kill by Beverly Barton. Today was largely an uneventful day at work for her, barring some stress over a piece of allegedly misfiled paperwork. Even so, she felt it prudent to unwind with a good book tonight. Though a speed reader, she was also careful not to overdo it lest she miss a piece or two of crucial plot information. Then, she heard knocking on her door.
"Come in," said Rouge.
The door opened, and there stood Shadow the Hedgehog with his usual stone face.
"Good evening, Rouge."
Rouge put her Emerald City Red bookmark in the book, closed it and put it down.
"Good evening, Shaddy! What's on your mind?"
"I wanted to apologize."
Rouge tilted her head a bit. "Apologize? For what?"
"You see, I've been a bad boy, and I need to be punished."
Rouge blinked, and then gave a confused frown. "Huh?"
"Please hurt me. I deserve it…Mistress."
Rouge stared at Shadow briefly. Then, her eyes widened, she smiled and gave an "ah!"
"Shaddy, I had no idea you were into that!"
"I found out about it by accident, and it sounds fun. Will you punish me?"
"Why, of course! Just sit down on the bed and take your shoes and socks off while I grab everything!"
Shadow nodded and approached the bed, while Rouge took her book and set it on her nightstand before going to the closet. En route to the bed, Shadow shot brief glances around Rouge's room, which was decorated with posters of old-timey movie stars such as Gary Cooper and Clark Gable, jazz greats such as Miles Davis and Charles Mingus, and old films noir. The bed itself had a magenta quilt with white hearts on it. Upon sitting down on the bed, he loosened the Inhibitor Rings around his ankles and took off his shoes and socks as she had asked of him. Soon, Rouge returned with a black leather bullwhip and four lengths of rope.
"OK, before we begin, we need a safeword," said Rouge. "If at any point the activity feels like it's too much for you, you just say that word and I'll stop." She tapped her index finger with her chin. "Hmmm…I think our safeword should be 'Kansas'! Do you agree to this?"
Shadow nodded. "I agree to it, Mistress."
Rouge chuckled a little. "You know, for somebody who's been such a bad boy, you're very good at playing along! Did you have any specific fantasies in mind?"
"Not really. Just being with you and having you cause pain to me is sufficient enough."
"All right! Does it matter if I yell at you and insult you?"
"Not at all, and in fact, I would prefer that."
"Grand! Now, if you will, please lie down face-first on the bed in a spread-eagle position with your head pointing towards the pillows."
"Yes, Mistress."
Shadow did exactly as Rouge told him. After he did so, Rouge gently grabbed his right arm and tied one of the ropes around his wrist, not tight enough to constrict blood vessels or cause similar harm, but tight enough that it would require some effort to undo the knot. She then tied the other end around the nearest bedpost, and then repeated the process for Shadow's left arm and both of his legs. He felt that these restraints would be insufficient to hold him given his immense strength, but he chose not to exert the necessary force because it would ruin the fun. Once the ropes were tied, she grabbed the bullwhip and knelt down at his feet.
"Are you ready for your punishment, sub?" asked Rouge.
"I'm ready when you're ready," replied Shadow.
Rouge smiled. "Good!"
Rouge raised her arm, and with a quick downward stroke, she cracked the whip on Shadow's back. While Shadow's brain recognized that this was a stimulus that would cause pain, his will was strong enough that he didn't even flinch from such a thing.
"Was that supposed to hurt?" said Shadow.
Rouge whipped Shadow again. "SHUT UP! You don't speak to me unless you're spoken to!"
"Eat me."
Rouge whipped Shadow harder. Again, his brain registered the hit, and again, he didn't flinch, though he was starting to feel a slight tingle from her doing this to him.
"Come on, whip me harder," said Shadow.
Rouge whipped Shadow harder as per his request, giving him a bit more of a charge.
"I don't know what you did, but you deserve this!" said Rouge.
"Yes, I do," said Shadow. "Now please, whip me even harder."
Rouge did her best and whipped Shadow again. Despite the increased force, he still didn't flinch, but he got some more pleasure out of it.
"Wow, you suck at this," said Shadow.
Rouge whipped Shadow again. "WHAT did I say about speaking to me like that?"
"Hey, you're my Mistress. I only exist to be punished."
Rouge whipped Shadow yet again. "That's right, and if you continue to be such a sad, pathetic excuse for a hedgehog, I'll continue to punish you!"
"Then don't waste my time."
Rouge whipped Shadow as hard as she possibly could. While doing this to him caused her such excitement that she had to suppress an evil little giggle, she wondered how long she could even keep this up. He had no such qualms, for he was willing to be restrained and delight in the pleasure of her punishment.
"Please whip me again," said Shadow.
Rouge obliged Shadow.
"Who's your Mistress?" said Rouge. "WHO'S your Mistress!?"
"You are."
Rouge whipped Shadow again. "You know, I'm not sure whether to whip you for being so obedient or for being so naughty!"
"Just whip me."
Rouge did so.
"Yes," said Shadow. "Again."
Rouge fulfilled Shadow's wish.
"Yes!" said Shadow. "Keep whipping me!"
Rouge kept whipping Shadow.
"YES!" said Shadow. "MORE!"
Rouge gave Shadow some more. By now, the amount of endorphins running through his body far outstripped the amount of pain that he would have been receiving with each hit.
"OH, THAT FEELS SO GOOD, MISTRESS!"
Rouge whipped Shadow again. "Good, because there'll be more of it, you lousy bastard!"
"THEN GIVE ME MORE!"
Once again, Rouge whipped Shadow. At this point, it became harder for her to keep a straight face while doing this. The fact that the guy whom she considered to be the world's most badass hedgehog was completely under her thumb was just too exciting for her. As for him, he felt more excitement than he'd ever gotten in his life. While he did derive some sense of pleasure from running at supersonic speeds and thrashing Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik's creations, that was more of a business thing. This…this was something else.
"COME ON, HURT ME!" said Shadow.
Though Rouge wasn't thinking too much about how Shadow could possibly be hurt, she was only too glad to whip him anyways.
"LOOK AT YOU!" said Rouge. "I have never seen anyone so deserving of punishment! You call yourself a MAN!? Jeez, you're so feeble!"
"THEN HATE ME!"
Rouge whipped Shadow again.
"YES!" said Shadow. "DOMINATE ME!"
Rouge gave Shadow another brutal whipping.
"Do you surrender yet!?" said Rouge.
"NEVER!"
Rouge whipped Shadow for his refusal to surrender.
"Why don't you give up!?" said Rouge. "You're such a lousy waste of time!"
"Then why bother, Mistress?"
Rouge whipped Shadow again, and even did it a second time just for chuckles.
"You can stop this any time you want, you know!" said Rouge. "Just admit to how much of a piece of crap you are and I'll be glad to stop!"
"Bite me."
Yet again, Rouge whipped Shadow.
"Didn't I tell you NOT to speak to your Mistress like that!?" said Rouge.
"Why don't you poke yourself in the eye?" said Shadow.
Shadow's backtalking earned him another whipping. Finally, Rouge giggled a little.
"OK, Shaddy…I think we gotta stop!" said Rouge.
Shadow smiled. "Why? I'm really enjoying this!"
"I'm glad you're enjoying this, but my arm's getting really tired from whipping you so hard!"
"Does this mean I can say 'Kansas' now?"
Rouge giggled some more. "You just did, honey!"
Rouge briefly put down her bullwhip and untied Shadow's limbs. While she was putting everything away, he sat down on the edge of the bed with a smile on his face and waited for her to join him, which she did after she closed her closet.
"Rouge, thank you so much," said Shadow. "That's the most fun I've ever had since I was created!"
Rouge put a hand on Shadow's shoulder. "YOU had fun!? Honey, you have no idea how it feels to have such a bad boy like you under my power!"
"I can only guess. Regardless, I think we should try this more often."
Rouge's eyes widened. "You really think so!?"
Shadow nodded. "Why not?"
Rouge wrapped her other arm around Shadow. "Shaddy, I love you!"
Shadow returned Rouge's gesture. "I love you too, Rouge."
Rouge and Shadow kissed each other. It didn't matter to them that their chosen activity was widely regarded as 'kinky'. As long as they were deriving pleasure from it, and as long as they were doing it with each other's consent, that was all that mattered to them.
A/N: This was a work of fiction. As with any sexual activity, S&M/BDSM/whatever it should be called should only be performed by consenting partners, and proper precautions should be taken.
