Liberty

Desiree was true to her word.

All I had to do to leave the playroom unnoticed was wait for a group of three—one man and two women—to walk out the door. I followed right behind to blend in with them, and with Desiree talking up the guard, he never even cast his eyes my way.

I broke away from the threesome—pun intended—and am now almost to the back exit. I plant myself against the wall next to a sliding glass door, inching my head far enough out to peek.

Two couples play chicken in the pool. A woman I haven’t seen around the manor yet screeches as she falls off the shoulders of a muscular man with a long beard. They laugh as she comes up for air, flinging her hair behind her. She splashes the others with a smile on her face.

A circular, inground hot tub is only a few feet from the corner of the pool, and it’s occupied by Sawyer and Anna. His hand grasps the back of her head as they kiss while she straddles him. Apparently, Desiree was right about them too.

I look past the pool toward the break in the trees as I try to come up with a plan to get there without anyone seeing.

I can’t go out the front because it’s heavily guarded. I could go upstairs to one of the balconies and try to climb down, but I risk running into someone along the way.

I nibble nervously on my lip and peek outside again.

Sawyer’s busy. As far as I can tell, his eyes aren’t even open. The hot tub and pool are illuminated, and there’s one patio light on, but it’s still relatively dark.

I move my gaze to the other two pairs.

Would they notice me? Maybe. Maybe not. They’re busy too.

I don’t recognize either of the men, and I know the women aren’t from the manor because they’re wearing collars, which is something I’ve learned only personal slaves wear. So if they saw me, would they even be suspicious? They don’t know my history.

I draw in a deep breath and look up at the ceiling, my toe tapping along to the beat of my racing heart. I decide to go for it. If I get caught, I’ll pretend to simply be avoiding the playroom, which isn’t a bad idea anyway. I spent an hour in there, feeling more exposed in the skimpy, black lingerie—required by Sawyer—than if I’d been naked.

I slip out of the unnecessarily tall heels and pick them up with a finger hooking each one. After one more deep breath, I gently slide the door open just enough for me to squeeze through the gap. I plant my toes onto the cool concrete with a delicacy that’s more fitting for entering freezing cold water.

No one looks my way.

I move my whole body outside, ease the door shut behind me, and speed walk along the patio, my shoulder brushing brick as if my new home will shield me.

My eyes point toward the grass, all my focus on getting there.
