“I don’t care about the world as long as I can keep you fascinated. Now go.”
I was finally allowed to escape his overwhelming presence and go back to real life.
Sofi was still out cold and after all the excitement and adventure she had today while we were walking all over town, I doubted she’d open her eyes again until morning, or at least very late at night when she’d cry for a bottle. I hoped this would be her first full-night sleep, so she could transition into a more stable routine. After I washed my hands in the kitchen sink and splashed some water over my face, I tucked her in gently.
Once the door of my suit was closed behind me, I could finally relax and give myself some time to think. I needed a shower, but I froze in place once I made it in the bathroom and saw the collar around my neck. I felt suffocated by it.
What was I doing? I was not this person. I was not part of Hunter Knox’s perverted world and definitely not anyone’s property. I’d worked all my life to be free and stay on my own feet. I didn’t want to obey anyone, so why was I so willing to do it for Hunter?
Suddenly, I remembered a part of Jackson’s grand speech from the day he cost me my job. His voice boomed in my mind like thunder: “Youare not going to takemeback? You? Who the fuck are you trying to fool with this tough girl act, Amy? You’re nothing but a puppet? Being with you was a commodity because you always do whatever the fuck I tell you. We will get back together. Maybe not today, but once this attitude problem of yours is fixed you will come back, you disease-ridden whore!”
…you always do whatever the fuck I tell you.
… you always do whatever the fuck I tell you.
… you always do whatever the fuck I tell you.
I could hear that part on a loop in my ears, almost like someone was whispering it to me. Was Jackson right? The fear that I might let someone overpower me again seeped into my bones and I ripped the collar off, throwing it in the dresser and hoping to never see it again. I’d return it to its owner first thing in the morning so he could use it on whoever he wanted to be his kitten next. The robe was too comfortable to give up, so I kept it on me and climbed in the middle of the Queen-sized bed and exhaled all the air from my lungs.
Hunter’s little play left me feeling unsatisfied and extremely horny and he also made it very clear that he was done with me tonight. My pleasure had to wait, but I didn’t think I could, so I took my fingers to my lips and sucked to make them wet, remembering the other night when I made myself come on the couch thinking of him. Of course, this time, Hunter wouldn’t show up in my room to make me lose my head with his orders and commands.
Do not make yourself come. Strong and definitive, the order Hunter gave me made my hand stop all movement. He told me to wait for him, but I didn’t have to listen to his bullshit dominant demands. Right? No, I didn’t, because Hunter Knox was not my boyfriend and he wasn’t my boss. Well, hewasmy boss, but he could only tell me what to do where Sofi was involved.
Who was I trying to kid? My mind was rebelling against him, coming up with all the reasons I didn’t have to listen to Hunter, telling me that I’m my own woman and not the kind you’d put a collar on, but my body had a different opinion. My hand refused to move, almost like it was waiting for Hunter’s command. After seven long minutes of debating, I decided to drop it and just go to sleep—not because of Hunter Knox, no, but because I was tired and ready for this day to be over.
