"That's better," he says, lowering his hand and the chain down. It's still being pulled up on, only not so hard that Yukiko was being lifted off her feet. Just enough to remind her it's there, and maybe enough to hurt just a tiny bit.

"Now come this way." Without letting his hand down any more, Satoshi turns and leads Yukiko into the living room. He goes quickly, purposefully.

In the living room, he brings her up to the large windows that open out to the front of the house. The blinds are up and the curtains are wide open. The house has a sizeable front yard, but anyone who cared to look into the window of the house would see Yukiko in all her topless beauty.

Hanging from the curtain rod by a thin rope was a carabiner. Satoshi brought Yukiko right up to the window and then lifted the chain higher so that he could attach it to the carabiner. She could keep the chain from pulling on her nipples enough to hurt them by standing on the very tips of her toes, but it was a test in endurance.

"Wait right here." Satoshi spoke into Yukiko's ear before kissing her neck and leaving her, his footsteps letting her know that he'd gone upstairs.
