It wasn't about pain now, but instead comforting him and making sure he was alright after her assault. She had gone too far, she had hurt her sub. That wasn't right and all she wanted was for it to be fixed.

"I'm not," she agreed gently as she let go of his hair so she could pet him instead, trying to comfort him after what she did. "You know better now, don't you? I love you and would never think to use you."
