**Submission's Edge**

Part 4

Rin's gaze lingered on Nozomi's exposed body, her eyes drinking in every detail. The flickering bulb cast an eerie glow on Nozomi's pale skin, making her look almost ethereal. For a moment, Rin simply stared, her expression unreadable. Then, with a curt gesture, Rin pointed to the couch. "Lay down," she commanded, her voice firm but with a hint of something else - a subtle undercurrent that made Nozomi's heart skip a beat. Nozomi hesitated for a moment, her eyes fixed on the couch. She knew what was expected of her, but her body seemed to be moving of its own accord. Slowly, she approached the couch and lay down, her eyes fixed on the ceiling as she tried to calm her racing heart. As she lay there, Nozomi's thoughts began to wander. She thought about her parents, and how they would react if she was late getting home. A faint worry crept into her mind, and she turned her head to Rin. "If I-I am…if I’m home late, I’ll get in trouble," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. Rin's expression didn't change, but her eyes seemed to gleam with a new intensity. She moved closer to Nozomi, her footsteps quiet on the floor. Then, with a swift motion, she reached out and flipped Nozomi over, pinning her to the couch. Nozomi's cry of surprise was cut off as Rin's hand closed around her wrist, holding it tightly behind her back. The grip was hard enough to leave bruises, and Nozomi felt a surge of pain as her arm was twisted into an uncomfortable position. Rin leaned in close, her breath whispering against Nozomi's ear. "You will not be going home tonight," she whispered, her voice dripping with a sensual menace that made Nozomi's heart racing with fear.
