been rough from the start, made you fear me more. Then you

 

wouldn’t ever think about running!” I slapped him in the face, he

 

leaned back and covered his cheek with his hand. While he was in

 

shock it gave me time to get my knees.

 

“You bitch! You hit me!” I grabbed for his zipper and yanked

 

at his pants.
“Is this what you want? You want to play rough? I can play

 

rough!” I yanked his pants off and grabbed his cock. He grabbed my

 

head and kissed me, pressing me against him. I moved my legs until I

 

was wrapped around him. But he pulled my legs from him, and

 

turned me over. He grabbed my ass, and smacked it hard.

 

“You better not run, Norah! Or this will be a like picking

 

fucking flowers compared to what I will do to you!” He smacked my

 

ass again and then ran his hand over my sex. I was wet and ready. He

 

didn’t think about protection he was too angry and hard. He rammed

 

himself in me. Then he grabbed me by the hair and kept ramming

 

himself in me. He grunted and pulled me to him, one hand in my hair

 

the other on my hip. “This is mine, Norah! You belong to me! You got

 

that? This. Is. Mine.” He pumped and pumped in me over and over.

 

“You were right when you said I would find you, if you ran. I would

 

find you. And your time in the basement will seem like a vacation in

 

Hawaii compared to what I would do to you, you got that?” I could

 

feel tears building in my eyes.
Even though I told him I could play rough, I wasn’t ready for

 

this. He was hurting me, but I welcomed the pain. Anything to get

 

this out of his system. “Give it to me! Come for me, Norah! Come

 

now!” I couldn’t stop myself. He grabbed both my breasts and pulled

 

me to him, and held me while he filled me with his frustration. When

 

he was done he threw me on the bed. I kept crying. He had never

 

treated me like this before. Even when he was hurting me, it didn’t

 

feel like this. But the worst part was, I wanted it. I was willing. But

 

after it was over, I felt used and alone. He was cold and numb, and I

 

meant nothing to him, all over again. I was just something he had

 

purchased from an auction.

 

“Are you done with your whore? Can I go back to sleep or

 

would you like me to suck you off now?” I asked. He glared at me but

 

didn’t answer. I rolled to my side and pulled the covers over my

 

body. This was the first time he had really made me feel like he had

 

bought me.
When I woke up I was in my room again. I looked around and

 

was thankful he wasn’t there. I didn’t want to look at him. I took a

 

shower and tried to erase how he had treated me the night before. I

 

dressed in jeans and white t-shirt and went to the door. I wanted to

 

go downstairs and hear his apology for acting like a raging maniac.

 

But it was locked. I stepped back when I heard it open on the other

 

side. Liam walked in and rolled the cart of food with him.

 

“Here is your breakfast. I have to go to work, so Gerald will

 

bring your lunch. You remember how to leave the cart and ring the

 

bell, right?” his face was emotionless and he wouldn’t look at me.

 

“What’s going on, Liam? Why are you doing this?” He didn’t

 

answer. He just rolled the cart in further and took out a chair for me

 

to sit in.

 

“I will be back for dinner, and we can eat together,” his tone

 

was like a robot. I stepped closer to him. My face was right under his

 

chin. I grabbed his shoulders and tried to force him to look at me,

 

but he wouldn’t.
“So this is how it is? Jane runs and I get punished for it! What

 

happened to wanting a normal relationship? What happened to you

 

trying to trust me? Why does our relationship have to change

 

because Will can’t control his?” He didn’t answer. “Liam! Answer

 

me!” I snapped. He grabbed me by my arm and looked me in my

 

eyes. “Don’t use my name and don’t you dare talk to me like that!”

 

He shoved me back. “I didn’t say you could look at me, either!” He

 

turned and walked out.

 

I was alone all day. I paced back and forth hoping someone

 

would come in, but no one ever did. I kept hoping Liam would snap

 

out of it, and realize I wasn’t Jane. But he didn’t. I didn’t see him

 

again until after 7pm. I was back in my pajamas and had already

 

eaten dinner when he came in my room. I sat in my rocking chair,

 

but I jumped up when he came in.

 

“Liam, you have stop this. It’s crazy. I’m not going to run, we

 

went through this before Jane ran away. I don’t want to leave you!”

 

He grabbed my arm. “Ouch! You’re hurting me!”
“I told you not to use my name, didn’t I?” I nodded. I

 

snatched my arm away from him.

 

“At least tell me what’s going on, please.” I begged. He

 

grabbed both arms and held me close to him.

 

“You’re mine, that’s what’s going on! You belong to me, and I

 

can do with you as I wish. And right now it is my wish that you stay in

 

this room and do as you’re told! Is that too hard to understand,

 

Norah? If I want to talk to you, I will come talk to you. If I want to eat

 

with you, I will come eat with you. And if I want to fuck you, I will

 

fuck you! You belong to me!” He pushed me away from him so hard

 

that I fell back on the bed. He walked over to the window and looked

 

out. “Why are you saying these things?” I started crying and covered

 

my face, not wanting him to see.

 

“I don’t know if I can trust you. I thought I could, but I don’t

 

know anymore. I don’t want to lose you, and this is the only way I

 

know I can keep you with me.” He turned and faced me. “This way, I

 

don’t have to worry about who you are talking to, or where you

 

might go, or if you will be in my bed tonight. Because I will know.”
He walked to me and touched my face. He forced my chin up

 

so I would look at him. “I am sorry it has to be this way again.” He

 

leaned down and kissed me. “Good night.” I curled up in my bed and

 

cried myself to sleep.

 

The next morning I tried to reason with him again. “I told you

 

I loved you! Why would I run from you? I gave myself to you

 

willingly, Liam! Don’t leave me in here like this, please!” He didn’t

 

say anything. He just arranged the food on the cart and wouldn’t

 

make eye contact with me. “What about my photo shoot? I’m

 

supposed to meet that woman today. How can I do that if you are

 

keeping me locked in this room?” He turned to me and grabbed my

 

arms shoving me up against the wall. He pushed his knee in my

 

crotch and held me so I couldn’t move.

 

“It was never gonna happen, Norah! Don’t you know that?”

 

He slammed me harder against the wall. “You actually thought I

 

would allow you to prance in front of a camera while some pervert

 

took pictures of your ass?” He grabbed my ass with both hands and

 

pulled me to him. He squeezed me so hard, it hurt.
“This ass is mine, and only mine!” He grabbed my chin with

 

one hand and pushed my face against the wall. “I thought I told you

 

not to use my name. Say it again, and you’re going back in the

 

basement!” He shoved me to the floor and walked out. He didn’t

 

even bother to come to me that night. I thought I saw him watching

 

me sleep from the door way, but I was too scared to really look.

 

The next morning I met him on the floor kneeling at the end

 

of the bed. If he wanted a slave, I was going to give him one. “What

 

are you doing, get up. I told you I don’t like that.” I slowly stood but

 

didn’t raise my head to look at him. “Where are your clothes? Why

 

aren’t you dressed?” I was wearing black underwear and a black bra.

 

I didn’t answer him. I kept my hands clasped in front of me and eyes

 

lowered to the ground. He pushed the cart close to me. “Fine, if you

 

want to eat in your underwear, I don’t care. It is a fine sight.” I didn’t

 

move. “What are you doing? Sit and eat, Norah.” I slowly sat in the

 

chair and started to eat my breakfast. “Oh I see. Giving me a taste of

 

my own medicine huh? Well I think I like this. No lip, no calling me by

 

my name, and no clothes.”
He stood behind me and ran his hand down my chest under

 

my bra and ran his fingers over my nipple. “If I asked you to blow me

 

right now would you?” I closed my eyes, but turned to him. I went

 

straight for his zipper. He laughed but stopped me as soon as he felt

 

my hand on his cock. “Stop it, Norah. I don’t want you like this.” He

 

pulled himself away, and I went back to eating. “Fine. We’ll see who

 

breaks first. By the looks of you in your underwear, it isn’t going to

 

be me.”

 

The next two days were pretty much the same. He brought

 

me my breakfast and dinner and found some way to grope me while

 

he was there. The third night I heard the door open and watched him

 

as he walked around the bed and climbed in behind me. He pressed

 

himself against me and pulled me to him.

 

“I need you. Norah. Please.” He kissed my neck and eagerly

 

ran his hands under my night gown to feel my breasts. He rolled me

 

to face him, and kissed me. I didn’t respond. He moved my arms

 

around his neck, and I let them fall back to the bed. “Touch me,

 

please Norah. I need this. I need you. I miss you.”
He kissed my neck and came back to my mouth. I still didn’t

 

respond. “Please kiss me, Norah,” he panted. “Is that an order?” I

 

asked. He leaned away from me shocked by my response. “Please, I

 

need to be with you now.” He moved his body over mine and I could

 

feel his need pressing in my thigh. I decided to be a little brave. It

 

might get me smacked, but I was willing to take that chance. “Well

 

you own me, right? So here I am, I belong to you, do what you

 

want.” I rolled my head to the side so I could look at the wall, and

 

spread my legs open so he was cradled between them. “Don’t do

 

this, Norah. I want you to touch me, please.” I didn’t move. Finally he

 

rolled off me. “Fuck! I don’t know what to do!” He got up and left. I

 

rolled back over and pulled my covers over my body. I knew in a

 

game of chicken over sex, I would win. I knew Liam could be very

 

dark and liked control, but he liked me to be responsive and he

 

wouldn’t take me if I wasn’t willing.

 

*****

 

It had been six days with Norah in her confinement. Liam

 

hated it, but he felt it was necessary. He was so scared of losing her,

 

but this was almost worse. She wouldn’t talk to him unless he asked

 

her a direct question or ordered her to talk to him. She didn’t look at

 

him, unless he told her to, and she was always kneeling when he

 

came in her room. He tried to make love to her several times and she

 

would just lay there. In some ways he felt like he had already lost

 

her. There was still no word about Jane. It was like she had just

 

vanished in thin air. Liam didn’t want to keep Norah like this, but he

 

didn’t know what else to do.

 

He came home from work and started up the stairs to her

 

room.

 

“Mr. Hastings, may I speak with you?” asked Gerald. Liam

 

walked back down the stairs to him. “Miss Chandler hasn’t eaten at

 

all today. I never heard her bell after breakfast, so I went to check,

 

and she hadn’t eaten. I brought her lunch, and again….nothing.”
“I took her dinner an hour ago, and to my knowledge it is still

 

sitting untouched. She has been sitting in her rocking chair by the

 

window all day.” Liam nodded and thanked him and went up the

 

stairs to see her. He opened her door and instead of finding her in

 

her underwear kneeling for him, Gerald was right, she was sitting in

 

her rocking chair near the window. He walked to her and saw her

 

eyes gazing outside.

 

“Norah, why aren’t you eating? Are you sick?” he asked. She

 

didn’t answer. “I know you’re mad at me, and I know you hate being

 

in here, but you need to eat.” She still didn’t move. She had been

 

unresponsive to him all week, but this was new. This was like she

 

didn’t even hear him. He rocked the chair a little, but she didn’t

 

move. “Norah, look at me.” She still didn’t move. She always obeyed

 

him when he asked her to do something. He felt her pulse, put his

 

hand under her nose and could feel her breathing. He figured this

 

was another trick of hers to get him to let her out. So he left her

 

alone.
The next evening Gerald told him the same thing. She hadn’t

 

eaten, and today she hadn’t even showered. Liam went to her room
