Chapter Nine

Stonehart yanks the leash forward. It pulls on my neck and sends me splattering to the floor.

“Up,” he barks. “Get up, Lilly!”

Trembling, I return to my hands and knees. I’m blindfolded, so I have no idea where I am. I’ve long since lost all sense of orientation.

I’ve been crawling on the floor behind Stonehart for what seems like hours. A shooting pain runs through both my wrists from the placement of my palms on the floor. My knees are already bruised. And I can’t see a damn thing.

After noticing the wet footprints, Stonehart wasted no time dragging me from my bed and slapping me across the cheek to send me to the floor.

“Stay there,” he commanded, “unless you’ve developed a new taste for pain.”

He turned away and left, as easy as that. I was reduced to emitting small whimpers against the cold, familiar floor tiles.

When he returned, he had a black leather leash in one hand, a gag and a blindfold in the other. I didn’t try to fight when he clipped the leash through my collar. I knew how little good it would do me.

“You lie like a dog,” he said, “so, you’ll be treated as one. From now on, unless I say otherwise, you will only travel on hands and knees.” He gave the leash a tug. “And only as far as this leash will let you.”

Next, he tossed the gag and blindfold at me. “Put those on,” he said.

I had no choice but to comply. As I tied the black silk around my eyes, all I could think of was my overwhelming hatred for him. A hatred rekindled by the events of tonight.

Had I wavered in my resolve before? Well, no more.

“Good,” Stonehart said when I was finished. “I’m glad you can still follow instruction, if only on occasion. Now,” he continued, “take off your clothes.”

I didn’t move. He could humiliate me as much as he wanted, but I refused to help him do it. Even if that attitude brought me pain in the future, my mind was set.

Stonehart tugged the leash toward him. “Do not make me repeat myself,” he warned, his voice low and dangerous. “There are worse things I can do to you than this, Lilly, so don’t give me any extra motivation.”

That threat was enough to make me reconsider my position.

When I’d stripped, Stonehart barked a cruel laugh. “Funny how quickly fortunes change, eh, Lilly?”

He tugged me forward.

I hate you, I thought the entire time I was forced to crawl after him. I hate you. I hate you. I HATE YOU!

Eventually, we wound up… somewhere. Stonehart pulled something that sounded like a curtain aside and kicked me in. I bit down against the pain that shot through my side.

“Don’t make a sound, Lilly-flower,” he warned. “not a single noise. Otherwise, I will get angry.”

I pulled my knees to my chest and wrapped my arms around myself against the cold.
