CHAPTER 13
After what seemed like an infinite span of time, the black void in Diamondâs mind started to give way to a dull gray haze. Soft pinpricks of conscious thought sparked, but it felt like her mind was still disconnected from her body. No sensations came through, no pressure or heat or cold, no pain. Not that she really ever felt pain at all anymore, at least not the kind of pain that showed on the body.
I didnât want to be hurt anymore. Not by you, not by anyone. Thatâs what she had told Patty, she was sure of that much. But when she had said it, Diamond wasnât sure. It was so hard to think through the thick mists in her brain, but what she realized then, in a flash of revelation, was that in an attempt to soothe the longing agony of Perilâs departure from her life, Steph had only managed to cut off the kind of pain that she adored. No more could she feel the slap on the ass, the crack of the crop, the dig of the silk cords into her soft flesh, the bite of nails into her breasts.
And what Diamond had gained in exchange was a kind of torture she didnât enjoy at all. Frustration at the shackles of the Departmentâs systems keeping her from doing good, the goading closeness to Patty left forever unfulfilled, the sick twist in Stephâs gut as handlers and heroes alike tried to corrupt her pure desires. It was this understanding that started to burn off the mists like a rising sunâ¦
Or maybe that had more to do with the trickle of something on her tongue. Cheese and crackers! She could feel her tongue!
That something was cold and sweet and wet, and as it filled her mouth, that too came alive with sensation. Then the liquid rolled down her throat, and as it went, it seemed to spread in a way Steph could only describe as ice water in her bloodstream. She couldnât quite move, not really, and her eyes couldnât quite open, though she felt her eyelids twitch. However, her ears did finally come to life, though what she could hear echoed, either from the lingering numbness or the nature of wherever she was.
âSee, Avery?â Pattyâs voice warbled from⦠somewhere. âMy intellect is supreme, and the antidote was perfectly dosed. Our gorgeous captive is in perfectly fine health.â
âOf course, Your Majesty Of Mental Might.â Even though Diamondâs hearing cleared up more by the moment, Averyâs precise British accent sounded both distant and annoyed. âI still question if this truly is part of one of your liaisons with Mistress Stephanie or if this is, indeed, a âschemeâ, but the doctor knows best.â
Steph wanted to correct the ever-reliable robot, but she could only barely work her jaw. She definitely said something, but it certainly wasnât anything comprehensible by man or bot, and control over her larger muscle groups seemed a distant dream at best. At least
