Power Thief's Revenge [BL]

Somner felt as if he had just reached paradise. 

Finally, he was being commanded the way he wanted to. It was so worth it after the embarrassment and stress he went through. So this was what it's like to have your hard work pay off!

He never worked hard for anything in his life. Even as a hero, his powers made it extremely easy to defeat villains without breaking a sweat.

This euphoria was new to him, this sense of satisfaction. Like how the bitter aftertaste of alcohol somehow enhances its sweetness. 

"Thank you, Master…. Thank you so much…." 

He muttered against Hermes' chest, before sticking out his tongue to lick the water off it. He was licking languidly like a cat grooming itself, relishing every moment. 

Hermes thought to himself. 'This is really awakening something in me…'

He had always hated sadists like Ymir Glace, but this was different. Ymir imposes dominance over others who do not want it, while what really turns on Hermes was the fact that Somner wanted it so much. 

It was like another form of serving others.

Being cruel to make someone feel good felt amazing. Hermes considered it as being a soft sadist.

He ran his fingers roughly against Somner's scalp and then pulled on his hair.

"Ah!" 

"That's enough. Don't be indulging yourself now. You do remember your place here, right?" Hermes' eyes gleamed despite wearing a scowl.

"Yes, Master…" Somner couldn't get enough of that intense look in his eyes. "Please… Teach me how to be a good servant…"

"Well then…"

For the whole day, he made Somner do all kinds of chores that were not sexual in the least. 

"There's still a stain there." He pointed out as he had Somner wash his clothes.

"Can't you reach higher? There's dust over the cabinets." He pointed out as Somner dusted the furniture.

"This tastes bland. Add more salt next time." He pointed out as he had Somner cook for him.

It was so much work without any reward or 'punishment' that it brought the maid to tears. But since he was promised that Hermes will hypnotize him, he powered through. He needed more of the teasing from earlier. 

It was their day off, so they spent the whole day in the hotel. All under Somner's tab, of course.

Eventually, Somner realized that there was only an hour left for Hermes to use the ability on him. And Hermes made sure to not have much contact with him so…

He was baited to just be a maid!

Enraged, Somner broke the handle of the broom he was holding. 

***

Hermes was currently taking a bath, getting ready to leave the hotel. He had a pretty great day bossing Somner around. But he knew this couldn't last forever, and he wasn't the type to abuse the ability and just continue stealing Sirentone to have his way. 

"La la la…." He sang as he washed himself. 

Then, he saw his reflection. He only noticed now that his eyes, which were usually pitch black, had a hint of ice blue particles in them. 

And the memory of what he did to Ymir Glace came rushing again… The discovery of his true nature. 

'I understand why the villagers never told me. But still… Why? Why did they raise a monster like me? Why did they treat me as if I'm like everybody else?'

He clenched his fist. Was…

Was the villagers just manipulating him, knowing how dangerous he could be by lying to him? Were they trying to use his powers and superior strength to their advantage?

Then he realized how cynical that thought was. And he thought it himself, not that 'voice' in his head, that dark side of him.

Hermes punched the mirror. Dark blood oozed from his wounds, and he also realized that it has a bluish tint now.

"I'm becoming evil… My dark side is becoming one with me…"

He had to listen to what the villagers had to say first. He could not just let assumptions get the best of him. 

They still took care of him. They could have easily called heroes to kill him, but they did not. For two decades… That's a very long time to keep a monster around.

He'll go back to Village AD18 on his next day off. 

Hermes was deep in these thoughts, when the door was suddenly kicked open!

"You… You bad Master… How can you do this to me!?"

Hermes blinked as he looked at the fuming Somner, who was pink from head to toe. "What?"

Somner did not even seem to realize that Hermes was naked, with soap suds in his body. He was so mad. "How long will I have to continue playing as your stupid maid!? Isn't the duration of Sirentone about to be up by now!? You promised me!"

"Oh. Yeah, I forgot about that." Hermes then asked his system how much time was left before he lost Sirentone. 

[Remaining duration: 32 minutes and 43 seconds]

He told Somner this, and the little rabid pink boy ran up to him and jumped at him.

"Use it now! Please!"

Hermes tried to get him off but Somner's grip was insane, and he was so quick too. Somner was also hissing like a cat.

"What are you, a pink panther? Get off me!" Hermes commanded with Sirentone.

Somner immediately let go, his eyes blank again and wearing a big smile on his face. "Yes, Master…"

Hermes took a deep breath, looking at the scratches on his body. "You really are like a giant cat, huh? Geez. And you just went in on someone taking a shower. Shameless!"

"Yes, Master…"

Somner just remained standing there by the showerhead, his skimpy maid outfit drenched. 

Hermes can see his hard nipples now against the fabric. And as expected, Somner was also excited down there just from being hypnotized.

"Fine…. I'll give you one last command before time runs out." He pinched Somner's nipples. "Then after this, no more. Let's go back to our usual life and don't bother me anymore. Or I'll tell everyone how much of a slut you really are."

"Nghh! Yes, Master…" Somner was in a daze, ready to do anything he was told. 

"Good. Now wash me."
