Though her arms were firmly bound behind her with my black leather armbinders, the rope harness around her breast area forced her to stand on the balls of her feet.

Axl threw himself into the second wicker armchair. “New furniture?”

“Yes. All of it. I used the money from the buy-out. Only a few paltry million left now.”

“That’s so sad. You’ll be begging me for handouts, soon.”

“I might.”

Axl had so many company interests I was lost keeping track of them all. For weeks in a row he would vanish and go overseas to Europe or the US.

The chair I’d chosen creaked as the wicker adjusted to my weight. I leaned forward to place my mug of brandy-reinforced coffee on the glass table. “So. Let’s talk. You’re sure you want in?”

“In. What a way to phrase this. I get that this is not legal, or not exactly?”

I shook my head.

“I came back because I remembered what she looked like on the floor, at my feet. Her mouth on me. And in that deviant cage of yours.” He shifted in the seat, scowled at her. “I really shouldn’t. She seems too traceable.”

“I was careful.”

He harrumphed.

The gray side wall of the garage was the perfect backdrop for her naked figure. She was shielding her face with her hair, and it hung before her like a fair veil. The black tape at her waist and between her legs didn’t entirely conceal the slim triangle of hair at her mons. Her nipples showed flagrantly.

Lowering her head only made her look more vulnerable—like a slave girl waiting to be bought at an auction.

“I figured you had a good reason for thinking this was sane? Am I wrong?”

“I did…do. A vague one that won’t hold up in court. She wanted this but with another man she never met. She arranged it through her friend. I overheard them at a café and took her when no one else showed. I put her in the trunk then drove off.”

“Balls, man, you have balls.”

Or no brains. “There is a huge risk, and you’re still a cunt. You shouldn’t have touched her. What if we get caught?”

“And what are the chances of that?” he mused, quietly. “Not much, from what you just said. She’s been tested?”

“Yes. Part of the deal she made—both of them were tested.”

I decided to run through the facts.

“No one knows me. Not her, not her friend. I took her on a deserted road at night, last night in fact. There is no CCTV there. I put her phone in a Faraday bag. Mine too once I began to think about doing it.” It. That moment had been earth-shattering. “My car has no GPS tracking devices or links. Nothing will show me as being in that location.” I thought about mentioning how the café might have me on its CCTV but held back. That was the one flaw.

“Nobody is looking for her? She’s seen our faces. Knows my first name. You used your dorky trekkie nickname—Scottie McBeam me up Scottie.”

“That will only matter if they catch onto who we might be.” That old university nickname would not come up on any database.

“Yeahhh.” He pursed his lips while eyeing her twisting her feet, then he sipped more coffee. “I want in. You know I do. Or I wouldn’t have turned around.”

“If not, you’d have let her escape and let me rot in jail?”

“You’d have caught her. That little creature would run like a…like something slow and catchable.”

I laughed.

“And so we return to the question. What terrible things we can do to her,” he murmured. “In a week you say?”

“A week.”
