word game: pain

This week's word is...
PAIN

How to play: Find the word in any WIP and comment with the sentence containing it. Just the one, ideally! The less context, the more hilarious & interesting it can be.

Rules:
- All fandoms, all ships, all writers welcome
- Give a head's up for disturbing/distressing content
- If you share a sentence, please read some left by other writers and drop at least one person a comment. (If you leave the first comment, thanks for starting us off, and we hope you'll pop back around later!)

A note about interacting: Writers supporting each other is important to me. If you object to leaving comments for another writer, then we are not for you. If you repeatedly ignore this rule, you will lose community membership.

Excerpt for my side story "Bathing with the Beast" [Fandom: Tomb Raider]

[bens_writingjournal]

From my long side story of The Gemini Huntsmen, specifically after Yulia decides to move in to Lara's room following the events of TGH. Though not directly mentioned, the snippet discusses the concept of "drops" in BDSM context.

"Of course, beloved. You may have missed a few cues from me, but aside from that, you've been a very good warrior," Lara says, to which the clone's shoulders sag at the praise. "At least you deserve a second bathing session with me."

"That's good," she drawls, happily groaning at the feeling of the washing brush carefully scrubbing away the juices between her legs. "Sorry for that sound. Just tired."

"Next time, Yulia, I'd love for your warning before it goes too far, yes?" Beneath the inherent haughtiness of Lara's snarky comment lies a hint of concern and care, a sweet lilt that often makes the clone give a small smile to her. "Though I do get why you're…" She quickly sighs. "…feeling like this: whether from fatigue and pain due to such a rough session, or out of weakness and insecurity, but I think it's a discussion for another day. How about we have some of your favourite raspberry tea and rest, all right?"
