#subzero temperatures

[tenth-sentence]

The scientists did this despite temperatures that plunged to -58°F in winter and never got above -13°, being forced to start over when the drill jammed in 1999, and having to use a plastic bag filled with ethanol as a makeshift drill bit for the final hundred yards.

Hello! Can you do Dom! Kuai Liang x reader please? 😄😄❤️❤️

Here you go ✨✨❤️✨

DOM! Kuai Liang X SUB! reader

Warnings: NSFW!  Temperature play, SubDom stuff, MDNI! Read at your own risk.🔞🔞🔞

 

The old rusty metal of Lin Kuei Temple gates crooked open. Revealing the figure of the Grandmaster; Who just came from a mission.

 

You are glad that you are still awake at this hour. The guards returned to their chambers to sleep. But you are still awake because you knew that the Grandmaster is coming. You didn’t want him to get inside the temple without a greeting. So, you were there to greet him when he arrived.

 

"Hello, Grandmaster!" You greeted him with a soft smile on your lips.

 

He was shocked to know that someone from his clan is still awake. But he is happy nonetheless.

 

"Hi! Y/N!" He greeted you back with a smile.

 

He wasn’t surprised at all when you charged at him and hugged him with all your might. He hugged her back as he gave a light-hearted chuckle.

 

"I missed you so much," you whispered to him. "Daddy~"

 

His smile dropped when he heard you call him that. He doesn’t like it when you call him that publicly. You may think it is a late hour and no one would be awake, but the walls are thin and everyone can hear.

 

"What did I say about you calling me that in public?"

He reminded me with a serious tone.

 

You can tell from his voice that he isn’t happy at all. You felt a bit ashamed when I scolded you.

 

"I’m sorry-", "No! You must be punished." He cut you off.

 

"Punished? Why?" you purred at him, giving him puppy eyes.

 

"Hehe." He chuckled darkly at you.

 

He made ice chains for your hand and neck, then put them on you and dragged you to his. He likes to feel like the dominant one in this relationship.

 

You take pleasure in being the submissive one in this relationship, while he is the dominant one.

 

Who can’t be the submissive one in a relationship where Grandmaster Kuai is the dominant one? We both know the answer to this question.

 

"Oh, the things I will do to you~" He said with a sadistic grin on his handsome face.

 

"I can’t wait," You muttered to him.

 

Both of you entered a secret room inside his bedroom. You can tell from the looks of it that it is a dungeon.

 

For some, the dungeon doesn’t look welcoming or appealing, But to you, it is more than appealing. There are chains, Cages, and whips in the dungeon. Much for your liking and taste.

 

"Like the place?" Kuai asked.

 

"Like it? I LOVE IT!" You exclaimed.

 

He grabbed the ice chains and motioned for you to move to the chain part of the dungeon. You move with ecstasy in your steps and mind. You are excited, although the whole thing never begins at all.

 

"Hmm, Are you excited?" He asked with curiosity in his tone.

 

"Yes!" You simply answered.

 

"Good~" He stated it with the same sadistic smirk on his face.

 

You went to the spot where he motioned for you to go. You looked at him as if telling him, Now what? He went to you and put your hand on the wall with the icy chains he put on you earlier.

 

He made another pair of ice chains for your feet. He must get you ready for what’s coming, and he doesn’t want you to move freely while doing so.

 

He put the ice chains on you firmly. He hummed in satisfaction when he was done binding you up.

 

"Now! Be ready!" He uttered it with his sexy baritone voice.

 

"I am ready!" You announced.

 

"Okay! Here I go!" Kuai responded.

 

He made a whip out of ice because he likes to start with the whip at first. It makes him look more dominant.

 

You can feel the icy whip lashing at you; it’s hurting and cold at the same time. Unlike the normal whip. You don’t know which is worse, the normal whip or the icy one?

 

You enjoy getting whipped. With each lash, it gets agonising. But you hope the cold will numb your pain. The more he whips you, the more satisfaction he’ll have.

 

After whipping you. He shattered the icy chain and grabbed you violently to put you in bed.

 

He pushed you to the bed, and you fell with a yelping sound. You are still recovering from the whipping, but you are still enjoying this.

 

"Now," he started, "What position do I choose for you?".

 

"Whatever you desire," You muttered to him.

 

"Shh!" He shushed you.

 

Before you knew it, He spanked your buttocks. You know you did something wrong, and that is that you talked without his permission.

 

He spanked harder this time. You moan in pain. He spanked you until your buttocks reddened. And the mark of his hand is planted on your buttocks.

 

So far, you've enjoyed all this—the spanking and the whipping. You moaned in pain as you revealed this sweet agony.

 

He took a moment to breathe and adjust your position to doggy style. He growls sexually, like the dominant man he is.

 

All this made you wetter than you already are. You breathed heavily, trying to calm yourself down.

 

The Grandmaster remembered that he had his garments on, and he quickly got up from bed to undress himself.

 

While undressing himself. You take a glimpse at him to see him naked; he looks like a greek god with his perfect body.

 

Your mouth is watering at this view. You can’t hold yourself anymore. He is teasing you.

 

"Oh? Like what you see?" He teased.

 

"Yes! Yes! Yes!" You answered impatiently.

 

He only chuckles in response to you.

 

He came to you, He adjusted your position again. Before he started to enter you.

 

He gave his dick a few rubs to make it hard. Then he entered you with ease. He is generous enough to give you time to adjust to his lifestyle.

 

You nodded as a sign to make him thrust his member inside you. He quickly thrusts himself inside of you with his big endowment. At first, it was gentle and sloppy. He pulled his member out of you, then he entered you again with force.

 

You moaned at that with pure pleasure. He is making you feel good; his movement is quick and satisfying. You are near to reach your orgasm. Your heartbeat skyrockets, your breathing quickens, and your muscles spasm.

 

"Faster! uhh, Daddy!" You breathed.

 

Kuai put both of his hands on your buttocks as he thrust as fast as he could to shoot his white load out inside of you. It took all of his strength to do it; his hips buckled up as he shot his load inside of you. Then he groans like an animal.

 

Then he pulled his member out to let his white stuff slide through your hole. He admired his work on you.

 

"Did I please you?" He inquired with a smirk; he knew you would say yes.

 

"Yup," You mumbled.

android!Robin has several technical problems, the most important ones having to do with her memory card, battery and motor skills.

Androids are supposed to have perfect photographic memory, but Robin's memory is poor even by human standards. She tends to forget where she left her keys, what she was going to do when walking into a room, etc. She forgets her schedule all the time, as well as Nancy's, and can't remember a recipe to save her life. Dustin and Suzie say it's a problem with the connections needed to access her memory card, rather than with the memory card itself. It's fixeable, but extremely difficult and expensive. Robin wants to get this fixed and she's working hard to pay for it - she doesn't want to be an inconvenience. Nancy will support her decision, but she really isn't bothered by Robin's poor memory. She just hopes she's doing it for herself and not to make herself "easier to handle" for other people (she's been told that's what her worth was based on her entire life).

She's only had one memory card her entire life (as far as she knows). Nancy's greatest fear is Robin hitting her head and it breaking. One could potentially take out the memory card and delete it or install a new one - that is Robin's greatest fear.

At one point, her connections get so bad there will be days in which she can't remember Nancy at all, or what her own name is. She'll act almost like a normal android those days - following orders, not speaking unless necessary, not expressing emotion unless instructed to, etc, though her poor motor skills, battery problems and bad memory will make it difficult. It freaks Nancy out every time, and she always tries to get her to snap out of it as if she were human, before accepting that love can't solve this problem, and calling Dustin and Suzie to fix it. She'll pay any price if it means having her Robin back.

Robin lets herself be turned off without complaint, without even the terrified shudder Nancy used to feel when she forcibly did it during their first weeks together. Robin's docile obedience as she let Nancy do this to her, and the way her body went limp in Nancy's arms, never failed to bring Nancy to tears.

It would take days for Dustin and Suzie to fix some of Robin's problems. This one took between one and two weeks. Longest it ever got was 16 days. During that time, Robin would lay lifeless on their workshop's table, her battery sitting somewhere else to prevent her from turning on automatically. Dustin insisted that he and his lady (as he called Suzie) worked best when their kingdom (their workshop) was untouched by foreign hands, so Nancy wasn't always welcome to visit Robin in that state. Nancy was relentless, though, and she usually managed to convince him to let her in for a few minutes. He thinks it's pointless - it's not like Robin can feel her there. She can't even dream. It doesn't change anything. In fact, he worries Nancy will be more disturbed than comforted, because Robin's entire skull, neck and spine will be exposed - only it's not bones and flesh inside, but metal and plastic circuits, plates, chips, wires and pistons. He's careful to at least put her face back in place when Nancy visits. He expects her to be taken aback by the sight, but instead, Nancy's eyes are full of so much worry and care and adoration as she observes Robin's lifeless body. She doesn't dare touch her - she doesn't want to hurt her. But she misses her so deeply.

When it's all finished, Nancy takes her back home with the utmost care and tucks her into bed. She waits by her side until she turns back on, and softly talks to her, asks her how she's feeling, brings her some water and asks her questions, to see if she's back to normal. Because it's all recorded in her memory card, Robin can remember everything - can remember the time she spent not knowing who she is, thought she can't remember if she was self-aware during those episodes. Whenever she wakes up, she's just happy to see Nancy, and wants hugs and cuddles from her, but she begins to cry out of fear as she tries to remember the details of not being. Nancy holds her every time, asks her if she wants to watch cartoons or if she wants her to read a book for her, to keep her from spiraling. She hates seeing Robin look so small and scared, but she also knows she's not scared of anything Nancy can protect her from. The horrors haunting her come from her own mind and her own nature.

(Dustin and Suzie make a copy of Robin's memory card and give it to her, just in case).

Dustin and Suzie take care of any fixes Robin needs. They're much nicer than any other technician at the previous repair shops she's been to. The most usual fixes have to do with weakness and stiffness in her knees and hips, especially on her right leg (it got broken pretty badly during a beating by her last owner - Billy Hargrove. He wanted to make her unable to walk. The person his father sold her to next did a poor job fixing her). These fixes are usually quite simple and take very little time. She will refuse to see them, though, until she reaches her breaking point when she struggles to stand up, or when she suddenly falls to the ground. It always worries Nancy to death - she's terrified of Robin hitting herself and suffering even more damage. It always takes some convincing for Nancy to get her in her car and on their way to Dustin's workshop. Sometimes, the fix will be so simple they don't even need to turn her off. Nancy holds her hand during these.

The third big problem is her battery. Thankfully, her battery is detachable and easily replaceable. They only had a mayor issue with it once, and they had to order a new one. Robin's model is rare enough that it took over a week to get there. During that time, they installed solar pannels in the balcony and Robin had to be connected to them with long, thick cables that stretched all around the apartment. It was more amusing than anything else, having to step around the cables and make sure none of them got accidentally disconnected. Cloudy days made her pretty much useless and had her lying in bed watching cartoons all day. She was completely turned off after sunset and she was up by sunrise. Needless to say, she couldn't leave the apartment for the week and had to call in sick to work.

Good thing was, though, that the new battery worked much better than the previous one. It lasted much longer. Nancy had only seen her this excited a few other times. The way she kicked her bedroom door down with a wide smile on her face as she yelled at her to come to the kitchen just made Nancy smile with adoration. Robin showed her the box in her hands - she was shaking with excitement - and asked Nancy to help her install it. She turned herself off and Nancy did the rest - disconnected cables, take out old battery, install new one. When she turned Robin back on, she was more full of life and energy than she'd ever seen her be. Free from her cables, she immediately grabbed Nancy's hands and dragged her outside - the sun was shining and she wanted to run around in the park, to roll on the grass and count the cloud and photosynthesize with a good book in her hand. To Nancy, she looked like a puppy, or a happy little bird just released from its cage. She could never say no to her, they would spend the entire day outside if Robin wanted to.

Worldbuilding is so fun because you can go from needing an explanation as to why this particular subspecies exists to not only coming up with an explanation, but having it seemlessly drop an incredibly interesting factoid about their biology that lends itself to commentary on messed-up healthcare systems, medical debt, and how ridiculously expensive disability aids are

After today at work (we just volunteer but it’s the same honestly), our entire back, neck, and shoulders are completely shot. We can’t even rest our shoulders or neck on pillows because it still burns and hurts. Tomorrow we’ll feel even worse. As I’ve tried to move our worst one, the left shoulder, it felt like it was moving around freely like it just popped off of our skeleton and it’s legitimately making loud ass popping noises. I’m no doctor, that’s Hannibal’s job, but even I think we should take it easy for the night. -Will
