Tess never spoke to me in French, but she whispered, "Je comprends C’est bon" Yes It’s okay
Her touch threaded throughthe back ofme to break out in shivers The sharp thrill re strapped to the bed and at her fking mercy
She’d torn me apart
She’d flayed rowled; I tree locked and secure
"Take your hands off ht against the violent craving The one screa of retribution I wanted payback Strike for strike Lash for lash
Tess stiffened, dropping her arms
The sane part of ht to understand what had changed So evil to the surface She called to this awful part ofmy eyes, I hissed, "I need you to stop"
Stop so I don’t hurt you I don’t want to fking hurt you
Yes, you do
"There’s nothing to stop," she mur her My fingers burned to choke Unable to stand touching her, I shoved her away She fell onto the chaise, her brsts bouncing with the force of her fall
I spun away, clutching et control I had to find a way to protect her None of this was right
Then why does she give you per unsullied woth But all I saas a shell A vacant shell
Fuck!
I took a step back, cursing when so sharp poked my sole I looked down and my stomach hollowed out
My belt
Hit her Strike her Turn her white skin red
Breathing hard, I stared right into Tess’s flushed face Where was my esclave? The equal one--twisted into so entirely different that I couldn’t understand
Her fire had been replaced by acceptance and resilience Her eyes didn’t tauntlike a perfect fking slave
Godda to explosive; I lost another part ofchest drew my attention; my eyes devoured her nad flesh "I can’t stop it Whatever you’re doing--it’sit worse Ten tirew louder, tearing ive in "Tess--you’re…" You’re not safe Run!
Her entire body flushed with fear before being hidden by subhtened Her eyes screae while herself-control
"Do it Please, Q You need to I see how much you need to"
I wrenched my hair Tell the truth Stand up to me
Only she could stop this Only she could put me back on the leash I desperately needed
"I’ll hurt you Do you understand that?" I could barely speak through clenched teeth
Silence
Tell me no Be brave
She bowed her head "Yes"
I shook"I’ll draw blood Do you want that?"
Her shoulders rolled "I understand"
"I’llscream You can’t mean it"
Her body hunched "I do I doleft No sanity, no strength She’d givenher fear and acceptance in front of a ainst his baser desires all his life
This hy I ran froo near a slave who’d been used to the point of graceful coh to say no I wouldn’t hold back--not now
The leash snapped free The cage flung wide
I snatched the belt off the floor
Breathing harder than I ever had before, I slammed down on the chaise beside Tess and yanked her over my lap
The rapid pace of her chest rose and fell; her cla fro back
Tess wiggled, but I held her down
"Q…Q, wait" Her voice rose an octave, filling with terror
Before, it would’ve been enough to cut through the dense black fog I existed in, reiningher splayed, so vulnerable over s, set free every diabolical demon inside I would hit her I would fk her And I wouldn’t stop until I tasted her blood
Bending over, I hissed in her ear, "You’re going to writhe forher head Her entire body went boneless overher hair free fro her back with treers
My ck throbbed in tiainst her prone body
I flinched as Tess wrapped her ar herself to me Her body wracked with shudders, but she didn’ther shoulder blades with one hand, keeping her in place, I folded the belt in half with the aid of the chaise Grabbing the buckle, I ran ers from her shoulder blades, down her spine, to stroke her ass
So white So pristine
My vision was all greys and blacks Colour no longer existed inI deplored--there was no leaving until I’d sated what needed to be sated
Not only did I want to physically abuse her, I wanted to mentally ruin her, too
If I were sane, I would’ve told myself I was a sick fk and to end this madness before it was too late
But how could a monster be sane? A iven
"Do you love e that was meant for romance not bloodshed
She nodded without hesitation
I ranher with softness "Do you want this as ain another nod instantly
"Do you want me to stop?"
