Yes, the fear has crept into my soul because one look at this man tells me I’m in serious trouble as he turns and grabs my hand and without another word, pulls me after him at speed.
Mindful of his warning not to speak, I can only wonder where on earth he’s taking me and almost pass out when it becomes apparent we are heading into the largest bedroom I have ever seen in my life. But it’s not the sight of the huge bed dominating the center of the room that scares me. It’s not the panoramic windows that showcase the beach below that hold my attention. It’s the huge cage set up in the corner of the room that makes my blood run cold as without care, he throws me inside and slams the door shut behind me, turning the key and saying in a dark voice, “Welcome to your new home.”
Chapter 2
Lucian
I watch for her reaction and as I thought; it has the desired effect. Her eyes widen and the blood drains from her face leaving her vulnerable. Fate has a way of handing you something when you need it the most and as soon as I saw the angry woman standing before me, I knew. She’s the one. The one I’ve been looking for and the reason I had this cage installed in the first place.
My new pet.
I didn’t hesitate and just scooped her up and brought her here and now I’m feeling very good about life because she is everything I was looking for. Wild, angry, with a spirit that I will relish breaking. She needed to be strong for me to enjoy the full experience and as she stares at me with contempt in her astonishingly blue eyes; I feel the power surge through me.
Yes, my little pet didn’t know what she was getting herself into but I do. It’s been on the cards for a while now and the fact I have a few days to kick my heels is perfect timing. I sit on the edge of the bed and just observe her trying to make sense of the situation she now finds herself in. She’s unsure how to play it which makes it interesting to watch. There is fire behind those eyes which I long to be on the receiving end of and the fact she is nearly naked gives me a view of a body crafted for sin. She is slim, tall and yet has breasts that would be the ruin of any man. Her long blonde hair is different to the usual type I prefer because I’m more of a brunette man myself but now she’s here, it’s perfect. I think she must be early twenties because her teenage body has filled into that of a woman and I long to run my hand over the delicate pink skin and bring it to life.
Yes, my little pet will do nicely and I can’t wait to show her what that means.
“Ok, you’ve had your fun, now let me go and we’ll say no more about it. I’ve had a very emotional day already and this isn’t helping.”
I stare at her with my usual enigmatic look. “You think letting you go is an option?”
I see her swallow nervously and then she laughs as if I’m joking. “Yes, well, good one, but as I said, game over. You can forget about my complaint; I’m no longer bothered.”
“Ah yes, you wanted a word, well, you have my full attention.”
I lean forward and stare at her and she shivers under my gaze. I can tell she’s afraid and it interests me way more than it should because I love it.
She laughs nervously. “Yes, well, if you want to know, I came to face to face with a rodent that was severely dismembered in the pool and quite frankly I expect I’ve got rabies, or some kind of rat disease now, so it’s probably best you let me go in case I’m infectious.”
“A rat?”
“Um, yes, I think it was, to be honest, I didn’t stay around long enough to look properly. I mean, I’m not going to lie, it was a scary moment.”
“Scarier than the one you find yourself in now?”
“I’m not scared.” She lifts her face and stares at me with a challenge and I laugh darkly, “You should be.”
“Yes, well, so should you as it happens.”
I almost laugh out loud. “Me, why should I be scared? From where I’m sitting, I hold all the cards.”
“And that’s your biggest mistake.”
“I don’t make mistakes, just calculated decisions.”
She starts to get a little angrier and I feel my blood heating as she snaps, “Now listen, Mr I forgot your name already, this is not how things work in America. We are the land of the free and imprisoning young vulnerable girls in cages in hotel rooms is, quite frankly, an offence that will be rewarded with prison. Now, I’m a reasonable girl and not one to hold a grudge, so you can keep yourself out of a whole load of trouble by just letting me go - or else.”
She stares at me with a fierce look that makes me laugh inside. She’s so perfect, I can’t quite believe my luck.
“Or else, what?”
My voice is low and almost agreeable and she takes it as a sign of weakness and starts tapping her foot angrily and then she actually puts her hands on her hips and says defiantly. “Firstly, you won’t want me for longer than five minutes when I get started. I mean, I’m seriously annoying to live with which is why I am vacationing alone.”
He eyes widen and she backtracks. “Until my boyfriend arrives this evening. Yes, he’s currently on a world boxing tour and is due here after winning the world championship, so I expect he’ll be waiting. Then there’s the fact that I have a std. In fact, I have several, so you really should disinfect the room when I leave. Also, my father will be mighty pissed when I don’t call in and probably send in the FBI to find me. The fact the receptionist saw you kidnap me in broad daylight, not to mention that she knows your name, will give him all the facts he needs, so there, let me leave and I’ll keep your sordid little secret to myself.”
Her lip curls in disgust as the last word leaves her and I laugh out loud. “You amuse me little pet. I knew you were the right fit for me.”
She just stares at me as if she’s faced with an idiot and shakes her head. “Ok, it’s obvious you’ve got a screw loose, so I’ll say this in words you can understand. Let me go, you perverted creep because you won’t like me when I’m angry and if you value your man parts, you will unlock that cage at once and step aside.”
I stand and relish the fear returning to her eyes and just shrug. “For your information, I have no intention of unlocking that cage. In fact, I will allow you time to settle into your new home while I shower and change because I have work to attend to before I start your training.”
I move away and she gasps, “Training, what the hell is this? You’re mad, now let me go - at once.”
I totally ignore her and as she starts screaming, I just slam the bathroom door and relish the sound of silence. She can scream herself hoarse because every room in this penthouse is soundproofed. Nobody will hear her scream which is just the way I like them. Picturing her screaming for a different set of reasons make me harder than ever and I step into the shower and deal with it myself before dressing for dinner.
I take my time and feel impatient to get this meeting over with so I can return and start her training. I wasn’t joking when I said that—I never joke. When you live the sort of life I do there is no joking involved. I walk with terror surrounding me and there is certainly no fun in my life which is why I get my pleasure another way. I’ve always been a dominant male and have grown tired of the usual submissive I play with until I’m bored. I decided on a different role for my new pet and this one involves breaking a wild one. Yes, she came just at the right time—for me, anyway.
