her ankle to the top of her thigh. He had shaven legs before, but for

 

some reason this was different. He wanted to continue on shaving.

 

Actually he wanted to see if she had anything between her legs to

 

shave.
But when the suds slid down her body, they stopped right in

 

that place. He couldn’t force his hand to move them so he could see

 

her clearly. He adjusted himself on the floor and moved to the other

 

leg. She shocked him again just as he was done. He stood in front of

 

her, watching her rinse her body and she spoke.

 

“What’s your real name?” she asked. He was stunned into

 

silence. “I’m just wondering, because you call me little one, but you

 

also called me Norah. I only have one name for you.” Liam didn’t

 

know why, but this infuriated him. Was she serious? What was it

 

about bathrooms that made her brave? He called her by her name,

 

so she had some right to call him by his? What did she think was

 

happening here? Did she think being someone’s slave was like having

 

a girlfriend she could talk to? He needed to let her know just what

 

kind of situation she was really in. As she stood up, he grabbed her

 

hair by the back of the head, and yanked her forward, making her

 

trip out of the tub.
She almost fell again when her wet feet hit the floor. It was

 

only him holding her by her hair that was saving her from landing on

 

the floor.

 

“Do you think this is joke? Do you think this isn’t really

 

happening to you? Do you think I’m your friend, Norah?” He yanked

 

her out to the bedroom and threw her on the bed. He went back to

 

the bathroom, and grabbed a towel. When he walked back in the

 

bedroom she was balled up on the bed. He threw a towel on her.

 

“I’m not your friend. And I think its best time you learn what

 

kind of situation this is, it will be better for the both of us!” He

 

walked out again slamming the door. He went straight to his room

 

and paced back and forth. Why did he do that? Why did she make

 

him so angry? It was just general conversation. Was he mad because

 

he didn’t control it? Because he hadn’t put enough of a boundary

 

between them? Was he mad because his other submissive’s didn’t

 

talk to him like that? They didn’t ask questions, or even speak unless

 

he told them to first.
Or was he mad because he wanted to tell her his name, he

 

wanted to remove her mask and let her see where she was. He

 

wanted to take her on as a submissive for himself. But he knew this

 

wasn’t the typical situation. She hadn’t signed up for this. This wasn’t

 

some girl he met in a club and brought home for a weekend of

 

spanking and fucking. He bought her. Maybe that was more reason

 

for him to be nice to her. Maybe Will’s stage theory was just as much

 

bullshit as Liam thought in the beginning. Maybe this girl would trust

 

him more if he was nicer, not meaner. Why did she bring out this

 

anger in him? Why did he feel this need to keep her at arm’s length

 

and for her to know her place? Was it because she tried to rebel?

 

Not a lot, but in her own way, she tried to sneak past the rules he set

 

up. Do as I say, and not anything more and certainly not less. Was he

 

angry because he wanted this girl and he knew he could never really

 

have her?

 

Chapter four

 

Norah

 

I hadn’t seen him in a week. Ever since I asked him his name,

 

he had stopped bringing me my dinner. I assumed he had a job and

 

that was where he spent his days, but now I didn’t even see him in

 

the evenings. I was so bored and alone. He had taken away my music

 

and some of my books. I found myself spending most of the days in

 

the workout room. He was so weird. Not even hot and cold, just cold

 

and lukewarm. I realized the situation I was in. I knew he had bought

 

me from some auction and I belonged to him now. What I didn’t

 

know was why? I had been told during my training, that I would be a

 

sexual slave, but sex seemed to be the last thing on this guy’s mind. I

 

didn’t want to let my guard down though. I knew if I did, that’s when

 

it would happen. But I had been with him for what seemed like a

 

little over two weeks now, and he hadn’t even made a move.
I wondered what was taking him so long. I wasn’t rushing it

 

by any means, I just wanted the nightmare to be over. Once it was

 

done, it was done. I would know what to expect from then on. All

 

this waiting, and not knowing was truly killing me. I hated being

 

alone every day. I hated looking at the same scenery out my window.

 

I hated taking showers and changing my clothes for no reason what

 

so ever. This kind of confinement could make anyone go insane.

 

Maybe that was his point. Maybe he was trying to drive me crazy.

 

*****

 

Liam watched her as she paced her room talking to herself.

 

She made some good points. If things were going to get sexual why

 

didn’t he just do it? He still hadn’t gotten any good answers from

 

Tom, and still had no way to get rid of her without risk for him. If she

 

was going to be his then he should just make her his. But something

 

was holding him back. He wasn’t ready to cross that line. He couldn’t

 

be like Will, even if he thought for a second that she would end up

 

caring for him in the end.
He had no doubt he could completely flip her feelings for

 

him. He knew he could manipulate her into caring for him even after

 

he treated her badly. But rape was a line he wasn’t ready to cross.

 

He decided she needed another reward. He had completely ignored

 

her for the last seven days as punishment for being too bold with

 

him. He hadn’t even spoke to her over the intercom. He watched

 

her eat her dinner in complete silence. When she was done and

 

pushed the bell, he told her to put on her blind fold and came in

 

instead.

 

“You didn’t eat much, little one?” She didn’t answer him. “I

 

have another reward for you, I hope it goes better this time.” He

 

went to the bathroom and ran the water for a bath. He lit candles

 

and set them all over the bathroom. He laid out a beautiful satin

 

night gown and robe. He even sprinkled rose petals in the water. He

 

left the razor sitting on the edge of the tub, and walked back to meet

 

her. He took her hand and walked in the bathroom.
She was already crying. “I’m not going to give you a bath this

 

time. I’m going to let you enjoy this bath yourself.” She exhaled.

 

He left the room and closed the doors. He went straight to

 

his room and watched her. She slowly removed her mask and took in

 

the beautiful bathroom. She slowly undressed and again he admired

 

her body from afar. She stepped in the tub and began to sob. He

 

narrowed his eyes. He didn’t understand why she was upset. He

 

wasn’t there. He hadn’t humiliated her into undressing before him,

 

or shaving her legs for her. He wasn’t there to lose his temper and

 

snatch her by the head. What was she crying for? Was she crying

 

because he wasn’t there? She couldn’t prefer him to humiliate her

 

and make her cry to nothing? He watched a little longer and then

 

decided to let her be alone in her depression. He paced his room for

 

ten minutes, then he decided to give her the option. He could go in

 

there with her, see if her mood changed. He could ask her more

 

questions, get her talking.
He would be able to tell if she wanted him there, or wanted

 

him to leave. He walked slowly to her room feeling very vulnerable.

 

He had never felt like this before. Usually he knew what his subs

 

wanted from him, and if he didn’t, he didn’t care. He had no clue

 

what to do with this girl, no clue what she wanted from him, and no

 

clue how to respond to her. He knew the one thing she wanted in

 

general, to be free, was something he couldn’t do….not right now

 

anyway.

 

He opened the bathroom door and was immediately

 

embarrassed by the red water. He must have bought very cheap

 

roses because they were bleeding. He walked closer to her realizing

 

he hadn’t asked her to put on her mask, but it didn’t matter because

 

her eyes were closed. Then he saw her wrist, and the razor she had

 

taken apart on the edge of the tub. He scooped her up quickly

 

splashing water everywhere and getting himself soaked.
“Gerald! Help me! Gerald! Help me please!” he carried her to

 

the bedroom and laid her on the bed wrapping her wrist in a towel

 

and holding it tight in the air to stop the bleeding. Her eyes fluttered

 

open for a moment and he made her look at him. “I’ve got you

 

Norah, I’m going to help you,” her eyes closed again. Gerald ran in

 

with the first aid kit and they both began to bandage her wrist.

 

Norah

 

I woke and it was all black. I was in an unfamiliar place and I

 

heard a beeping sound. I was no longer wearing my mask, so I looked

 

around. The walls were black and there weren’t any windows. There

 

weren’t any sheets on my bed. I moved my legs and felt shackles on

 

my ankles. I looked to my left and saw a clear bag dripping some kind

 

of liquid into an IV, an IV I assumed was in my arm, but I couldn’t feel

 

it.

 

“Sit up”, his voice said. I tried to move my body but couldn’t. I

 

could feel his hands on my back moving me in the bed to a sitting

 

position. He put something behind me to lean on. I swallowed, and

 

my mouth felt like sandpaper.
He rolled a small cart to the side of the bed and sat in front of

 

me. He looked me right in the eyes. His eyes were crystal blue but

 

very cold. This was the voice of my nightmares, but he has the face

 

of an angel. He moved to show me he had some soup for me to eat.

 

Slowly he spoon fed me. After four bites he offered me some water,

 

which I accepted. He continued to spoon feed me this chicken broth

 

soup and didn’t say a word. His eyes never moved from my face.

 

When he was done he offered me more water and then left the

 

bottle next to the bed, which I realized now was just a mattress on

 

the floor. He stood up and moved around the room. He gathered up

 

some things and rolled the cart to the door. He came back and

 

changed out the bag of clear liquid.

 

“Where am I?” my voice sounded like sandpaper. He walked

 

back towards the door, and slowly turned back to face me. His eyes

 

had changed. His whole face had changed. Now instead of the face

 

of an angel, he looked like the devil. His eyes were still cold, but they

 

were also deadly. If looks could kill, this look would do it.
“Be careful, little one. You’re in enough trouble as it is,” he

 

warned, then he left the room.

 

Shit, I’m in trouble? He’s going to punish me for trying to kill
myself?

 

The next two days went much the same way. He didn’t say a

 

word but his look made me wish he would get this punishment over

 

with. I didn’t know what kind of punishment he had in mind, but it

 

couldn’t be worse than the waiting. My trainers has warned me of

 

violent punishments, sexual punishments, violent sexual

 

punishments. I assumed I had the last one coming.

 

The room was black and cold. I wasn’t sure what time it was,

 

if it was the third day in my new room or the night of the second day,

 

but his voice woke me up.

 

“Are you awake, little one?” he didn’t sound like the usual

 

soothing voice over the intercom. I could tell he was behind me, in

 

the same room. I rolled to face him.
“Yes,” I said nervously. I knew something was coming, maybe

 

this was it. He moved fast. As soon as I said yes, he grabbed my

 

ankles and drug me to him. He quickly unlocked my legs from the

 

shackles and yanked me up by my arms. He pushed me to walk over

 

the mattress on the floor and slammed me face first into the wall. I

 

turned my head so he didn’t smash my nose. He pressed his body

 

behind me, and held my head with one hand.

 

“Please don’t hurt me, sir,” I breathed. He slammed me into

 

the wall again, and yanked my head back by the hair.

 

“Oh, now you don’t want me to hurt you? It’s ok to hurt

 

yourself, but I’m not allowed?” He slammed me in the wall again. I

 

looked back at him, hoping my tears would stop him from hurting

 

me. “You want to look at my face? Well get a good look at me, little

 

one. Look at it!” he screamed. I looked at him, but quickly closed my

 

eyes. He put his mouth right next to my ear, and pressed himself
