The few days following the ball had been particularly relaxing for Kurt and Blaine, it was a recurring cycle of events each day: Kurt usually waking before Blaine would take a shower and get dressed before his demon master woke from his deep sleep, they had breakfast together before Blaine would spend most of his day within his study working, whereas Kurt would wander around the premises or enjoy Blaine's music room or books or the company of Ash, which was rare due to Ash's busy schedule each day with attending to Blaine or keeping the other servants in check, they would then have dinner together before relaxing for the evening with the same old chat before retiring to bed. It was frustrating for Kurt as he would usually be tediously bored for hours upon end, even when in the company of Blaine. There was an unimaginable amount of tension between the two, sexual tension and desire on Blaine's part of course.

Blaine longed for Kurt. To kiss his soft, plump lips. To bite into his neck. To tease his virgin body. To fuck him wildly. However, Blaine knew he couldn't do those things just yet. Not until he had at least gotten to know the boy more, sure they had spent the last few days chatting about these sort of things, however, he felt that they had still not connected in a way. Kurt was beginning to pull away from him, be more quiet and passive aggressive and Blaine, being new to the whole slave thing was struggling to find out what was wrong, what was he doing wrong?

Ash peaked her head round the door of Blaine's study to see him lost in thought, the work clearly stressing him out. She frowned as he bounced his knee uncontrollably with his heel hitting off the hard flooring, leaving a harsh clicking sound echoing throughout the room every time his heel hit the floor. Carefully, she tip-toed over towards the lord and leaned her hand across the table to land on Blaine's shoulder. Ash gasped as he sharply lifted his head to reveal carnal eyes and baring canines.

"Sir!?"

Blaine shook his head, both his eyes and teeth returning to normal. He groaned before sending an apologetic look Ash's way, he had not meant to frighten her, he was just so frustrated with both himself and his slave. He leant back in his chair, lifting his hands to rub at his temples, his headache he had had all day was affecting him extremely.

"What is wrong, sir? Do you need something?" Ash timidly stepped back, still a little frightened by Blaine's unusual outburst. The demon side of Blaine was rarely ever bared to her, only a few times before when he had became increasingly angry or hungry, and it had never been directed to her at all.

"Ash. How many times do I have to tell you? It is Blaine. I am sorry if I startled you, it was not my intention."

Blaine raised his head abruptly to the scoff erupting from Ash to see her with her hands on her hips while glaring at him. He smiled throughout her scolding, as she was back to being the normal Ash. The one who scolds him regularly for being an idiot, oh how she would scold him after she got the truth out of him, the reason behind his frustration.

"Startled!? You nearly made me piss myself! Don't do that again. What if it had been Kurt, huh? You would have frightened him to death. Be more careful Blaine, if you are feeling crappy go do something about it rather than just sitting here with that face that makes me so uneasy whenever I see it. I hope that wasn't directed at me, because I have done nothing wrong."

Blaine sighed.

"No. Of course it was not aimed at you, my dear. I'm sorry. I am just...frustrated."

Ash raised her eyebrows before walking around to pull up a chair to sit beside him, curious as to what has been oh so obviously making him a grumpy sod the past few days. The past few days has been a nightmare for Ash, Blaine was particularly more demanding than usual and was being extremely vague whenever she asked what was wrong. He was not the usual type of person to open up as easily as he felt he had to be the rock, due to his social status. She sat patiently with her arms crossed and her eyes burning into Blaine as indication for him to start talking. He turned to her and sighed softly before crossing his legs and getting comfortable.

"It's Kurt...me and Kurt."

"What do you mean? I thought you two were getting on like a house on fire."

"We are getting on, but something is odd between us. Tension. In the morning he is up before me, showered and dressed. He doesn't let me see him before this. We speak a little during breakfast. We don't see each other throughout the day. We have dinner and chat for a while. We then retire to bed."

"Blaine."

The lord raised his head to stare at Ash who held a mocking expression as well as tone. She shook her head and lifted her hand to smack Blaine across the head which received a growl in return.

"Don't growl. I am going to be blunt Blaine and you are not allowed to punish me for it. Are you an idiot? The problem is in what you just said. You don't see each other. You are not trying hard enough Blaine. Have you ever stopped and thought that Kurt is maybe bored? Bored of the usual day to day happenings. You both do the same thing every single day. You are not going to get closer that way, you will drive him away if you keep going on like this."

"What do I do Ash? Seriously? You know I am new to this and of course he is too, but he is showing signs of becoming distant and he was a fucking little shit this morning! He was ignoring me and staring out the window, rolling his eyes every time I spoke. I was close to pulling him over my knee."

"Yes he is in fault also, but that won't change if you don't act Blaine. Punishment and aftercare...remember? That's what you were taught by Cooper especially. Kurt is bored. Therefore, he is acting out. Grow a brain cell you dumb demon."

"Fuck...you're right. But, what can I do to connect with him more?"

Ash stared at the ceiling pondering over what he could do with Kurt, something they could bond over. Something they could do together to connect with each other. She thought for a few more minutes while Blaine groaned impatiently waiting for an answer, demons had no patience. He stared outside the window of his office, looking at the trees and land that surrounded his mansion, smiling at its beauty. In all his years of living here, he had not once explored the beauty of the forests filled with flowers and greenery. He had been told of its beauty by Ash who often ventured to the cabins where the servants lived to wake them for daily chores. He turned back to Ash who was staring at him with a grin so wide.

"That's it. Take him on a date!"

"A date?"

"Yes, a date. He is a teenage boy, a boy who has probably never been on date before. Take him to the river behind the cabins and have a picnic, which I will of course prepare personally. Just spend some time with him, be your usual charming self and forget about work for one day."

"Now?"

"Now! Go! Go get ready, ask him to come with you for a picnic by the river. It sounds perfect and I'm sure he will love being able to leave the mansion without being monitored by another servant or being called back because he is going too far. Give Kurt the best date ever."

"Ash you are a genius!"

Blaine jumped up from his seat, grabbing his files and shoving them in the drawer for another day before grabbing Ash and planting a big smooch on her cheek and walking out of the room while he watched as Ash ran off in the opposite direction to the Kitchens. He walked down to his rooms and made straight for the bedroom, stopping as he heard a soft humming sound coming from his music room. He slowly made his way into his bedroom smiling as he left the angelic humming not wanting to disturb Kurt. He chose to put on a pair of tight dark jeans along with a plain t-shirt, pair of combat boots and his leather jacket. It was a casual choice, yet it was an undeniably sexy choice for a riverside date, but Blaine wanted to make an impression. Hopefully, today would be the day he got to kiss those perfect lips.

Kurt had been in the music room for the past two hours since he had departed from Blaine for the day. He had been spending most of his days in the stunning music room, playing Blaine's piano and singing or humming some of his favourite songs on his ipod. He missed home. The music was a reminder of the times he had shared with The New Directions, with his beloved friends, his family he had been with for years, the group that he was a part of that made him feel special.

He missed them, yet he always knew they would remember him, just as he would remember them forever. He sighed loudly within the empty room, nothing but himself to sigh with. Blaine was working yet again and Ash was also busy. He was tired by just how bored he actually was and was thinking about going for a walk around the house, but was startled slightly by a knock on the door, which opened to reveal Blaine - a very hot looking Blaine which left Kurt blushing.

If there was a god, this would be him. "U-uh, hi."

"Hello, my sweet boy."

Kurt could feel the heat in his cheeks, what was going on?

"I...I thought you would be working?"

"No. I am actually here to ask you if you wished to accompany me on a picnic by the river."

Blaine smiled at the wide eyed expression on his beautiful slaves face. bingo. He watched carefully, never taking his eyes off the boy as he began to stare open mouthed, clearly unable to produce an understandable amount of words. To help him, Blaine walked towards him to appear in front of him, lifting his head with his finger underneath his chin, raising it slightly to keep the eye contact. Not letting him escape his gaze.

"Answer me."

"Y-yes. That would be..." Kurt was unsure of what word to use so he went with the typical answer, "Nice."

Kurt stared into his master's eyes, which appeared sultry and enigmatic. They kept the eye contact for a few more minutes before Blaine pulled his hand away and smiled at him before pulling him from the ottoman by the books and sheet music. He turned him, delivering a soft spank to his right butt cheek, not hard enough to be sore, but enough to make Kurt jump.

"Go. Get dressed. Something appropriate, which I'm sure you will be able to do. Make sure you wear comfortable enough shoes to walk with, it is not too long a walk to the river, however, I don't want you getting sore feet. Do you understand?"

"Yes."

"Kurt. Yes what?"

Kurt stared at Blaine, noticing a domineering look appearing, Blaine wasn't messing around.

"Yes master."

"Good boy, now go. Meet me at the back door."

Kurt had opted for a pair of knee length dark coloured jean pants that curved slightly around the knee along with a three quarter length sleeved t-shirt and a pair of black plimsolls he had used for strolls back home in Lima. He had looked at himself in the mirror in a few outfits before choosing this, he had went for "simple chic", as he was calling it. Not too dressy of course, it was a picnic after all. He didn't want to appear too dressy for such a date. A date...wow. Kurt Hummel is going on a date.

Slowly and quietly he tip-toed up the stairs and out of the private rooms to be met with Ash grinning like a Cheshire cat, also delivering a what looked like a soft "good luck" and a thumbs up before she trotted back off down the hallways. He shook his head in disbelief and walked through the mansion to the back door and opened it to step outside. Blaine was nowhere in sight and Kurt frowned as he began to walk down the steps and peered around the corner to reveal his demon master leaning against the wall, basket containing the picnic in hand.

"Master?"

Blaine turned his head and smiled at Kurt addressing him well. However, he did not want him to call him that today, not for their date.

"Hello beautiful. Call me Blaine for now, you only need to address me as such if I am giving you an order, if you are being punished or if we are in a formal setting. Which we are not."

"Y-yes Blaine."

"Good boy. Let's go."

Kurt followed Blaine down the pathway out into an open space, the tall trees moving with the wind and the soft sound of birds chirps sounded throughout the area. They walked past many beautiful flowers, some familiar, some not so familiar, but Kurt did not mind, regardless, it was still breath taking. This was nothing like he had saw on his walks back in Lima, this was way more. They walked for a short period of time, however, Kurt felt that they had been walking for hours - not because of exhaustion, but just because he was so taken aback by his surroundings, how mesmerising everything was and how Blaine smiled at his shocked face every time he saw something he had never seen before.

Blaine glanced to Kurt every so often throughout their trek to the river, they were just nearing the destination to which Blaine planned to have the picnic, a hidden area near the river that he had many times ventured to for down time for himself. He was fascinated by his slave's reactions to the surroundings he had just seen as land for so many years.

He grinned as he entered the beautiful secluded spot, the water streaming almost silently, the flowers blooming and the sound of birds from within the forest. He grinned wider upon seeing Kurt stare open mouthed.

"Beautiful, isn't it?"

Kurt remained silent, not because he didn't want to speak, but because he simply couldn't. It was breath taking. Remarkable. He was going to have a date here? He couldn't believe what was happening, never in his wild imagination had he even considered that he could have a date with a hot guy in a beautiful spot such as this, yet here he was.

He shook his head in disbelief again for the god knows how many times today, watching silently as Blaine lay down a large blanket he had unfolded from the basket before placing said basket in the middle, motioning for Kurt to sit down. He padded over and knelt down onto the blanket beside Blaine, smiling at him softly before glancing around them, it really was a spectacular location for a date.

They sat by the water, munching on the snacks that Ash had prepared to perfection. It was going perfect. The atmosphere and all. It was a good idea to take Kurt on a date, it became clear to Blaine that Kurt had been bored. Lonely. Suffocated by the mansion. He was happy to see him smiling more than ever, more than he had the past few days that is. He would of course have to become stricter on Kurt, as he had ignored the previous eye rolling and sharp remarks muttered under his slave's breath due to it only being his first few days, but he could not let Kurt go wild. He would lose him if he could not control him, there was fire in the boy and he knew that from the beginning, but playing with fire will get more than just his fingers burnt if he wasn't careful. He would enforce his displeasure with Kurt later, but for now he wanted to chat and connect with him and enjoy the rest of the date.

"So, tell me, you mentioned once before in our previous conversations that you had never been in a relationship? May I ask why? I just cannot understand why someone as beautiful as you could not have been."

"o-oh...well I was the only out gay kid at my school, it was only me and sure I had crushes, but they were unrequited. I even had a crush on my brother...step brother that is, before the full dad remarries thing. It was just a silly crush. I did fake a relationship once though...with a girl in the glee club, to get close to my dad"

"Interesting. Fake how?"

"I dressed like my dad...it was a bad time for me. Brittany, the girl, isn't the brightest girl you will ever meet, but we began a relationship and I invited her to my house when I knew my dad would be in. We...we made out in my bedroom. My dad walked in and he was so confused. I had asked Brittany what boys lips taste like...her answer was dip, sometimes burgers and ...jeez, her armpits. Not the most helpful of answers." Kurt giggled softly while shaking his head.

"You've never kissed a boy?"

"Not of my own consent, no."

Blaine nodded, remembering the story Kurt had told him of his bullying in conversations during previous dinners. His first kiss with a male had been stolen from him, but he did not consider it a real kiss which was good. Blaine wanted to lean in, but it didn't seem like the right time just yet.

"Well...I'm sure it will happen soon."

Kurt glanced up, eyes wide and tensing slightly. Please kiss me. He watched as Blaine cleared the empty food boxes and placed them back into the basket, standing up afterwards and stretching. He blushed at the groan, almost moan that erupted from Blaine as his bones cracked, his shirt riding up slightly to reveal more tanned skin and muscles moving softly.

He danced across the stones to stand by the river's edge, kicking a stone through the water and smirking as it skipped across the water before a splashing sound indicated its end. Due to his extreme senses, he could hear Kurt approaching him, he stood still not turning around, waiting to see what he would do. However, he was not prepared to be pushed into the river. He rose from the water in shock, his clothes wet along with his hair, and he stared open mouthed as his slave giggled.

"Y-you...you little shit!" Blaine jumped up from the water just as Kurt began to break out into a run. He headed after him, he shouldn't be running off in the forest, not without him.

Kurt had not planned the push, well maybe he did just a little, but he couldn't help it. Shoving Blaine into the water was a great feeling, it broke the tension that had been built up for days, however, as his master rose from the water, it was hard to tell if he was angry or not - either way, Kurt ran. He sprinted the hardest he could down the stream, giggling as he went, darting through into the forests trees, not hearing much behind him. However, he was grabbed suddenly and hauled over someone's shoulder, he only realised it was Blaine by his clothing and ass. He has such a nice butt. He was brought out of his butt filled thoughts when he was placed down onto the blanket to then stare up at the very wet Blaine who had an unreadable expression.

"How?"

"Again, you are really asking that question? I am a demon. I am faster and stronger than any human. I could catch you in seconds if you ran off and with good reason. Don't run from me. In the mansion that would have been fine, but not here, it's dangerous for you to go off on your own. I need to keep you safe from harm, I can't guarantee your safety unless you are by my side. Is that understood?"

Kurt frowned. Blaine looked almost frazzled, worried even. He nodded, but gasped as his ass was raised off the blanket, with just enough room for Blaine to deliver a stinging smack to his behind. He yelped.

"Audible." Blaine growled.

"Yes master!"

"Now, yes it was in fact hilarious, to you mainly it seems, but...why did you push me into the water Mr. Hummel?" Blaine smirked before running his fingers down Kurt's sides, watching his slave squirm and giggle profoundly under the dancing fingers delivering a punishment that could only be described as tickle torture.

"Ahhh! Please! Stop!"

"Do you give in!?"

"Yes! I'm sorry! I just pushed you to break the tension!"

Blaine's wandering fingers stopped abruptly. He pulled back slightly and smiled, so Kurt too had noticed the tension between the two of them lately. It was an unfamiliar way to break tension, but it was good to see that his slave was, like himself, understanding there was an issue that had to be dealt with.

They stared into each other's eyes for what seemed like an eternity. Blaine laying over Kurt slightly, staring into the abyss of swirls of blue, green and grey. Beautiful. Simply beautiful. They were picture perfect. It was the perfect moment.

Blaine reached a hand up, softly running his hand through Kurt's soft hair, bringing it down to rub against the fading puncture mark on his slaves shoulder. He would need to feed soon. Not today, but soon. He smirked at the sharp intake of breath from Kurt, oh he was so pure. Untouched. He leaned in slowly, but surely, leaning closer and closer until their faces were only inches apart. Kurt was staring in anticipation, wanting it, wanting his first kiss. Please please please!

Then, as if on cue, their lips met.
