"You had a sister, right?"

"Andromeda," she mutters. "Andie. She's my best friend."

"How long since you've seen her?"

"Years." She looks away, but the trace of tears in her eyes doesn't escape me. I'm half-tempted to reach forward and hug her, but I've been trained and taught not to give into the sign of a woman's weakness. Still, the temptation remains a pleasant sizzle in my heart, because I know I'll get to touch Pandora all I want soon.

"I want you to see her soon," I say. "I'll set something up."

Her eyes light up, but she tries to not look too excited. I know why. Because that murderous bastard Oakes would've dangled that opportunity in front of her only to yank it away the second he saw she actually wanted it. Piece of shit, that guy. He deserves to rot in hell, and if everything goes according to plan, he fucking will.

"Thank you, Dex," Pandora mutters now.

I feel the need to establish my dominance then, so I reach over to her and pull her onto my lap. She lets out a shocked little gasp that makes my dick twitch in my chinos. She straddles me, one leg on either side, her mouth dangerously close to mine.

"You're nothing like her," I mutter.

"Like who?" she whispers. "Lily Anna?"

I don't answer, instead allowing my fingers to sneak around her throat, holding her gently, but firmly in place.

"I thought I hated you because of that at first," I finally get out through gritted teeth. "Turns out, it's exactly what I needed. A little toy to hurt and torture and fuck all I want."

She flushes and tries to cover it up by turning away, but I don't let her, forcing her to look back at me. Her eyes are wide and scared and it makes me hard as fuck.

"Where am I going to sleep tonight?" she finally asks, and I smirk, lifting her from my lap. She giggles when I set her back down on the floor.

"Come with me," I suggest. "I'll show you."

She follows me up the stairs. My shoulders tense when we go past the hallway leading to Lily Anna's room, but surprisingly, my captive is quiet today, not making a single sound. I lead Pandora past the guest bedrooms to the master bedroom. A large four-poster mahogany bed stands in the center of the room.

"Isn't this your room?" Pandora wonders out loud as I lead her in.

"Our room," I correct her. "Of course, you'll be sleeping right here..." I tap the bench in front of the bed. "Unless you earn your place next to me."

"You're such a prick."

"And you love it."

"That's what I have you believe."

"Sure," I chuckle. "You're such a cute toy."

She seems to like this, though she does her best not to let it show. I close the door behind us and turn the key before pocketing it. Pandora looks frail and nervous next to my bed in her pristine jade green dress.

"Take it off." I motion to the dress, then point to her strappy wedges. "All of it. I want to inspect my property."

"I'm not-"

"Save it, toy," I growl. "Off. Now."

She regards me with cool hatred before starting to painfully slowly untie the bows resting on her shoulders. I watch the dress slide off with a cold expression firmly in place on my face. She steps out of the dress. There's no bra on beneath it, but she is wearing a pink cotton thong, and she takes that off too before untying her shoes. Finally, she stands before me completely naked, arms defensively crossed in front of her body.

"Lower your arms." She shakes her head no. "You want me to do it for you?" She looks at me with contempt. Rolls her eyes. Then finally puts her arms down. "Good toy."

"Don't call me that," she mumbles.

"Why not? You fucking love it." I motion to the bed. "Get on all fours. Ass toward me."
