“Go fuck yourself, Darren,” I spat.
“Still feisty as ever.” He smiled. “But notfor long.”
“Why the fuck are you so hell-bent onbreaking me down, huh? You’re kidding yourself if you think you’llfind any satisfaction in me if I’m nothing but a submissive littlebitch.”
“You think I don’t know how to train you tobe exactly what I want?” he asked amused. “That’s adorable. Thefirst and most important part of your conditioning is for you knowexactly who’s in control and whom you belong to. Once you finallyget that in your head, we can go from there.”
“Well, I fucking get it, okay,” I said,flashing the underside of my wrists. “You win.”
“Oh, I know I’ve won. I won the moment youcame into my possession, but the problem here is I’m still not sureyou believe it.” He smirked turning his head to the side andregarding me closely.
“God! What the fuck do you want from me!? Ibehaved all week for you, and you turn around and do this!” Iyelled pointing at my wrist. “What the fuck did I do to have causedyou to doubt me so?!”
Darren unlocked the cage, reached in,grabbed me by my throat, and yanked me out of the cage. He slammedme into the wall so hard my head nearly bounced off it.
“If you ever, EVER, raise your voice orspeak to me like that again, you won’t be formulating words for anentire month, do you understand me?” he roared. The malice in hisvoice left goosebumps on my skin, and I couldn’t help but shiver asmy hands clung to his wrist that held my throat in place. “Do youunderstand?!” he yelled.
I hated when he raised his voice like that.It terrified the shit out of me because I knew he was serious anddangerously close to hurting me.
“Yes,” I managed to get out quickly.
“The reason I had you marked was simplybecause I wanted it. Not because you misbehaved or because I liketorturing you, but because it pleased me to do so. That seems to bethe one concept you have trouble grasping. You are here to pleaseme, Jaden, and if I desire my name on your fucking forehead, thenyou'd better graciously oblige me. I told you there was no point intrying to understand me and that questioning me was an even biggermistake, yet here you are, trying to make sense of my desires. It’sjust pissing me off to no end.”
All I could do was struggle against him as Ifought for air. Darren’s grip was so tight, and I found it gettingtighter as he spoke.
“And then when I finally bring you in todemonstrate your devotion to me, you immediately turn away and defyme again after I had just granted you an entire WEEK to let go.Extremely disappointing, Jaden. You don’t get to make decisionsanymore. You don’t get choices unless I expressly give them to you.You do as you’re told because it pleases me when you do. And todaywas a huge failure.”
I was clawing at his arm now, trying to gethim to let me go, but my nails did nothing to penetrate his jacket,and finally, I’d had enough. I jerked my arm up as hard as I couldand was able to pull the meat of his thumb a centimeter off mytrachea, allowing some air to escape. At least, he could see I wasabout to pass out from lack of oxygen and loosened his grip. I tookin a long deep, sharp breath, but I was so dizzy I couldn’t seestraight. Thankfully, the only thing I had in front of me to focuson was Darren’s chest.
“Now,” he said, still keeping his hand inplace, “can you be a good girl and do as you’re told or do you needfurther motivation?”
I was still gasping for air, terrified outof my mind to the point where I couldn’t even answer him. Icouldn’t find the words.
“Jaden,” he growled, gripping tighter andpulling me to him.
“I’ll be good,” I quickly gasped out as myhands gripped his wrists even tighter. I was right on the verge oftears.
“Good … now, there’s just one more matterthat needs attending,” he said and pulled me over to one of theweird body shaped couches and forced me down to straddle it, myface pushed against the end that curled upwards. “You even thinkabout moving, and we won’t leave this room for days,” he snarled.And then he reached down, gripped the back of the dress I waswearing and ripped it open, completely exposing my bare back. Mybody shuddered with fear as I heard the sound of his belt leavingthe loops of his pants, and I held on tightly to the edges of thecouch.
Without wasting another moment, Darrenbrought the belt down hard on my skin, and I yelped as the heat ofthe lash spread over my back. He waited only a second, but hedidn’t have to wait long before I started the count.
“One,” I groaned.
The belt came down again, striking lower asit cut through my flesh leaving behind a mark that would ache fordays.
“Two.”
As soon as we got to ten, I thought we weredone, but Darren just switched the end of the belt with the buckleand started pelting me with that end. The agony was even worse thanbefore, and it didn’t take long for my yelps to turn to screams. Ihad suffered ten more of those. But we still weren’t done.
Darren then pulled me to the ground on allfours and ripped the rest of my dress completely off and forced mylegs apart. Tearing away my thong, he drilled himself into me andas his body rocked into mine, it caused more pain to flare up in myback while his hands held my hips in a vise grip.
When he was finally finished with me, I wasso weak I didn’t even have the strength to cover myself up. I justlaid there facedown with my arms limp at my side. My back burnedand throbbed, yet I continued to lay there, my eyes barely able toremain open while tears stained my face. I wondered for a briefmoment if he would just leave me down here.
“I’m sorry,” I barely whispered. I didn’tknow why I said it because I wasn’t sorry. Maybe the only thing Ifelt sorry for was myself, but for some reason, I thought it wassomething he wanted to hear.
“I bet you are,” Darren said standing overme as he righted himself.
He then walked over to the bathroom andbrought back a warm washcloth. After cleaning me up, he gentlythrew me over his shoulder and took me back upstairs to his room.Tossing my dress into the trash, he laid my naked body on mystomach in his bed and pulled the covers over my shoulders.Climbing in behind me, he miraculously let me be on my side of thebed, but he kept himself turned toward me for the entire night.
