“What about the drink? I haven’t paid yet,” I said as he led me away from the bar, with my hands clasped in his.
“Don’t worry baby girl, it has been taken care of,” he said, without bothering to turn back. We walked through the dance stage and my head turned to find Tracy in a full-blown make out the the blonde man, as she ground on his lap, and as if feeling my stare, she turned to face me. Her drunk face in a questioning look, and I threw a flirty wink at her to ease her worry and she smirked going back to tangle her lips with the man’s again. We walked through some kind of back door, into a roll of many rooms. “You must really come here all the time,” I said wanting to ease off the awkward tension, as nerves clouded my thoughts—then I inwardly cursed when I remembered Tracy said this club just opened. As if he sensed my anxiousness, he stood in front of a red door, bringing some kind of key from his pocket as he twisted the lock then paused, turning to face me. “Relax baby girl,” he said, one word—which made my heart spike up not from anxiousness again but from curiosity. His beautiful voice was enough to send puddles in my g-string pant, and the ease with which he called me that pet name, and the fact that he had a key to a room here bridged the edge of my curiosity—all of it combined left me wanting to know more about him, but then I have to remind myself again, that it’s just a one night stand and nothing more. He opened the door, as he stepped in and turned on the lights, as a loud gasp left my lips. “What’s this place?” I asked in shock, taking in the scene before me. A wide, large bed dominated the center, covered by deep red sheets almost the color of blood, with plush oversized pillows attached to the sides, and the thought of being spread on the bed sent an unsettling feeling through me. My heart pounded loudly in my chest when I took in an iron-looking post that stood at the corner with leather cuffs on each end, and a leather floggers, hanged on some kind of hooks on the wall—many of them with different colors, looking enough to inflict pain, and soft enough to bring pleasure. My teeth sunk into the soft texture of my lips as my eyes shifted to an open cupboard where different sizes of dildos were displayed, and I gulped at the extreme sizes of the toys. “Are you scared baby girl?” His husky voice whispered in my ears, as his hot breath fanned my face, making me jump on my toes unintentionally. I turned to face him, as he stared at me with those deep pools of green hue’s—as if trying to penetrate deep into my soul, and expecting to find that I have chickened out, but unfortunately, I have already made up my mind a long time ago. “Not at all sir,”I said timidly, and I watched as his lips tipped up slightly. “Good girl,” he praised, and damn if that did not make me clench my thighs together again to get some friction. “Strip!” He said, his stare turning dark, his eyes finally straying away from my face to look at my small cleavage on display, and roamed down to my legs in an appreciative gesture. “Huh?” I asked, somewhat confused and shy, expecting kisses or something, and not being told to get naked immediately without any foreplay—have I been that ignorant to sex all these years, and do people just go straight into these things nowadays. “Wrong answer baby girl, now you have to get punished,” he said, and his words sounded funny as I let out an embarrassing snort only to pause when I took in the seriousness in his face, and realized that he did not seem to be joking. “This is my play room, and when we are in here, everything happens by my rules. Rule number one : When I ask something of you—you are expected to reply with the term ‘yes sir’ or your safe word only, and failure to do so would attract punishment. Do you get what I am saying?” He asked in a cool voice holding me captive with his mesmeric eyes, making me feel hypnotized to play by his game. “Do you understand me, baby girl?” He asked again, his voice dropping cold and menacing, and it felt like the room had dropped degrees colder. “Yes sir,” I answered softly. “Now strip off those clothes, before I tear them off you, and savor every traitorous second an inch of your beautiful skin is revealed to me—I am not a patient man baby girl.” “Yes, sir.”“Ethan,” I choked out at the sight of him.“How many times do I have to warn you, Leah, to stay away from Jennifer?” he said darkly. His eyes were hard as he sent me a disapproving glare.“This looks nothing like it seems. If you had come earlier, you would have…”“Enough, Leah. Just enough!” he roared, his entire form trembling with rage.He moved towards where I stood. His large hands wrapped around my forearm in a tight grip, and fingers digging into my skin enough to leave a bruise.“I have tolerated your disrespect for Jennifer so many times, thinking you would change,” he growled. His expression was one of disdain, his harsh breath fell on my face with every word he uttered.“A long time ago, I promised to give her an eye for an eye, to any bastard who dared to hurt her again. Now, Leah, you just had to hit her,” he spat venomously, making me flinch in his grip.“I know you don’t believe a word I say. But trust me, Jennifer is nothing like you think she is. She is pretentious, a
“Let me go Ethan. Let’s end our relationship,” I choked out.His gaze bore into me unblinking, probably waiting for me to complete my words.“Why do you want me? Why are you so persistent in keeping me? You can have any woman you want, but why me? What's so special about me?” I pressed, watching as his eyes hardened at my words.“I don’t want it anymore, Ethan. I can’t bear to lose anything else, so just let me go and we can leave our peaceful life away from each other,” I added.“Are you even listening to me Ethan? I said– let me go. Let’s end whatever fucked up relationship or contract is between us,” I cried out.“You must be more stupid than I thought if you ever think that I am going to let you go, Leah,” he replied back. His voice sounded grave, but his eyes spoke more volumes than his words ever did.“You signed a contract with me. And until I get tired of your body, you’re stuck with me as my submissive sex slave,” he uttered darkly. “Why? Why me? Why don’t you just find ano
I held my tears back, finding it pointless to cry, although they kept on pouring.“I loathe you, Ethan. I hate you more than I have ever hated anything in this world. You are right, it’s good that it’s gone. You would have made a horrible father; you are too toxic to be one. And that’s why I killed it. Because I could not bear the thought of having a child with a mentally deranged man like you.” I said, my voice dropping with every ounce of emotion I felt for him, as my breathing turned heavy.He must have felt the genuineness in the words, because his hands around my neck tightened. My vision grew hazy from the pressure, and I was left gasping for air.My hands clawed at his in a futile attempt to pry him off me. And when I thought he was really going to kill me, he let go. Pushing himself off me, he reacted like I scalded him.“Lie on all fours,” he ordered, his voice sounding dark and gruff. My eyes flared. A sense of fear crept in my mind, from knowing I was still sore all over
“Protect me? Protect me?” I laughed bitterly.He stared at me, his eyes pleading with me to understand, but it was too late for that. Everything he did was confusing, and I could never trust him again.“How are you protecting me, Xavier, huh? By not standing by my side when I actually need you? And who are you protecting me from exactly? What scares you so much?” I asked in vexation, my entire form trembling with rage.“They are things that are better left hidden for your sake, Leah,” he said with a sigh. He watched me for a while longer, studying my features.My gaze watched him sharply, wanting to drink in every twitch of his jaw and read even the slightest expression on his face. He expressed his emotions well. The now blank expression on his face made my irritation increase. “Things like what exactly?”“Things that would keep you safer if you had no idea of them. Now drop it,” he demanded finally, turning to pick up his things from the table.“Your discharge papers have been proce
‘Good,’ I thought happily.My hands moved towards my bedside, my gaze roaming around as I looked for my phone.“My phone, where is it?” I thought. My eyes widened in horror as the last time I held my phone came rushing back in my mind.Jennifer cut the call on me, and before I could keep my phone, I was dragged out of the alley.“Oh God,” I muttered. My phone must still be somewhere back in the alley.“So where is it, Leah? Huh? Where is your proof?” Jennifer asked, feigning a sympathetic smile.“I must have lost my phone in the alley when…”“Oh please, don’t you get tired of lying, Leah?” Jennifer asked, shaking her head with a sad smile almost like she pitied me.My face deepened in a scowl, as anger burned through me when I took in her expression.My eyes shifted from hers to Ethan, whose stare had not left me.“Ethan, believe me, I had proof. I really had proof on my phone, but somehow…”“Enough, Leah! Enough!” Ethan roared, cutting me short.I stared at him in shock, taking in th
My mouth parted wide in shock as I stared at the doctor, wondering whether I had traveled to an alternate universe.“What…what are you saying? That’s a lie!” I shouted in the deathly silent room.“Leah, please calm down. You just had an abortion, no need to get agitated,” Jennifer said, throwing me a compassionate glance.“I know it’s not easy for you, but the truth is already staring at your face right now. Even the doctor supports my words, Leah,” she said empathetically.“That’s a lie,” I said hurriedly, my mind racing in different directions as I struggled to comprehend what was happening and how everything could suddenly turn against me within the blink of an eye.I turned to Ethan, my eyes widening at the sight of his pale face.“They are lying, they are all lying, Ethan. I don’t know what’s happening or why Jennifer is doing this, but believe me, Ethan, I’m not lying. I did not sign for an abortion. I was attacked by a mob, and I suffered a miscarriage as a result…I swear I am
