“I’m sure.”
“You’re the boss.” Tony cut all the ties and they left the room, making sure to leave the door shut, but unlocked, for when she woke up. Just the one door was open and all the windows were barred, so Daniel could be sure she would come this way.
He waited patiently, like a cat waits, crouched, for the mouse to come out of its hole.
She woke sooner than he had thought she would. She made her way through the open door and started running down the hall. That door was locked, so she took a left and kept running.
He was waiting for her.
He let her see him before he grabbed her. The panic in her eyes made it all worthwhile.
She spun to run the other way, but he wrapped his arms around her, pinning her arms to her sides. She let out a frustrated scream as she struggled, be he was the stronger one.
He leaned over and licked the side of her neck, slowly, from her shoulder to her ear. She shuddered. He didn’t even particularly like women. He just loved the way they reacted when he did that. It made the smell of their fear so much stronger.
He closed his eyes and breathed deeply, his nose buried in her hair.
She slammed the back of her head into his face and all he could see was pain.
He let her go and she elbowed him in the stomach before she took off again.
Fortunately, they had made sure all the outer doors were locked. Tony was on top of her before she got far. He and Andy had her hogtied and back in her room by the time Daniel had recovered.
Now he was angry.
This time she was in a chair and they hadn’t bothered with the blindfold. She met his gaze as he marched towards her. She saw the anger in his eyes and she set her jaw, silently daring him to do his worst.
Her head spun to the right as the back of his hand made contact with her cheek. She only took a moment to recover before turning back to glare at him.
He smacked her with the back of his other hand and her head spun to the left.
He knelt in front of her and grabbed her face to force her to look at him. “You’re going to pay for that.”
She spit in his face.
He was so taken by surprise he actually stumbled backwards a few steps. He wiped his face with the sleeve of his jacket, and when he looked back at her, she was grinning.
He felt the anger spreading throughout his body, but he forced it down. He had told himself he would not lose his temper again.
Instead, he turned to the table behind him. All his tools were now laid out across it and he went to select one. It would bring her price down considerably, but he was beyond caring.
This one was all his.
The End
