[occultatum]

Do you have a new black eye yet?

[driving]

no


ok maybe a bit but i won that fight so it doesn't count

[occultatum]

Is it really better than sex?

[driving]

it's power
something i kind of have a shortage of here
a black eye here and there is worth it

i wouldn't say it's better than sex though. just a different kind of release

[occultatum]

Do you want to fight in the arena?

[driving]

hell yeah but like everything else here i need a fucking permission slip

[occultatum]

From a Dominant? That you're contracted with.

[driving]

yeah
they’re really pushing this contract shit on me huh

[occultatum]

Listen.

Do you want me to help you out?

[driving]

how so

[occultatum]

You can sign a contract with me.

[driving]

[ He hesitates to reply. He has too many trust issues not to be a little suspicious about anyone wanting a contract with him. ]

why would you want that
i haven't exactly made myself out to be the ideal sub, have i

[occultatum]

Ideal isn't important to me.

I can make it work. We'll find you an apartment in the Up.

[driving]

what's in it for you?

[occultatum]

I like a challenge.

[driving]

[ Billy's already gotten a taste of what Nick could do, and how powerless he was to stop it. It frightens him, but that part of him that truly believes he can't be conquered finds it exhilarating to push back against such a force. ]

you're dangerous
and i like danger

[ He's not terribly eager to just sign himself away, though. Some submissives have said that they have good contracts that benefit them. Some Dominants say they'd never hurt their sub. Billy doesn't believe any of it. He's prepared to be hurt. ]

but i need to think on it

[occultatum]

Don't make me wait too long.

[driving]

i'll try not to but it's a pretty big decision
i just don't want to end up being treated like shit again
it's nothing against you, i'd feel the same about any contract

[occultatum]

[Billy.

He does not care about your feelings.]

Who hurt you?

[driving]

who hasn't??

[ That's about all the detail he's willing to go into. ]

[occultatum]

Well I protect my submissives.

[driving]

you don't have to convince me of that
this place is fucked up and i'm not dumb enough to think i can live here as a submissive and not get hurt no matter who's protecting me
i just want to make sure i'm in a good position to hurt it back
i'd rather be hurt than caged. but i definitely don't want to end up with both.

[occultatum]

Well.

Think about it. A contract with me would give you a lot of free reign.

[driving]

ok
i'll get back to you soon

[occultatum]

Hey Hargrove. Still thinking about that contract offer?
