Myles entered Jess’s hotel room, this time without warning. Something she was going to have to get used to. He surveyed the room and threw his hands up in the air. “Why aren’t you packed? We need to go.”
He handed her pills to her. “We need to fix this problem.”
Jess tossed them back, and then looked at him straight-faced before she released her wet hair from the towel it was wrapped in and tossed it on the floor. She adjusted and tightened the towel she still had wrapped around her body before addressing him again. “Jeez. Relax. We have time… I needed a shower…”
Myles glared at her. “Pick it up.”
Jess looked down at the towel and gave him her best ‘you’ve got to be kidding me’ face.
“Yes,” he said, acknowledging she’d gotten it right. “The towel. I said pick it up.”
Jess narrowed her brow and met his gaze head on. “What is wrong with you?”

Myles closed the gap between them and positioned himself directly in front of her, his eyes boring into hers. “This isn’t your house, and even if it was, someone has to pick that up. Starting today, that someone is going to be you.”
Jess started to speak then hesitated choosing her words carefully knowing this was about so much more than either of them was readily willing to admit. She stepped backward then turned to face the large window. “I don’t see what the big deal is… it’s just a towel. That’s what the maids are paid for, to clean up. It’s sort of job security.”
Myles stepped forward and grabbed the portion of the towel wrapped around her at her chest and yanked. Jess turned to look over her shoulder, confused by his anger.
“Bend over,” he ordered.
Jess rolled her eyes. “Fine. I’ll pick up the damned towel.”
As she turned and stepped forward to lean over and reach for the towel, Myles caught her by the waist with one arm. He lifted her slightly off the floor and hugged her body firmly into his to prevent her from moving, and walked the few steps to the bed where he deftly and firmly placed her stomach down. He placed one hand on the small of her back to hold her in place. She didn’t resist. Swiftly, he raised the hand that gripped the wet towel she’d been wearing and swatted her hard against her backside with it. As it struck her, Jess sucked in all the air she could into her lungs and held it there. He paused and waited just briefly as he watch her fingers tangle and grip the sheets. She knew what was coming. He reared his arm back and then playfully let the towel trail along her ass and thighs before picking it up again and slapping hard, this time against her thighs. Satisfied then, he dropped the towel and carefully flipped her over. Towering over her, he lowered himself down, his eyes on hers. He leaned forward, took her bottom lip between his teeth, and tugged. Jess swallowed hard as he released her lip, and then kissed her softly. “The first welt was for assuming someone else would take responsibility for your shit. And the second was for rolling your eyes and disobeying my order.” He studied her face, looking pained, then reached down, and pinched her nipple hard. “If we weren’t pressed for time, which has only been further exaggerated by your carelessness and defiance, I would fuck you good enough that the sting you feel across your ass right now would be mild in comparison to the pleasure you’d feel by begging me for release. Never forget, Jessica, your actions—they not only hinder your pleasure, but the pleasure of others, as well.”
Jess propped herself up on her elbows causing him to fall backward slightly. “I haven’t agreed to your rules… or your agreement yet.”
Myles brushed the back of his hand across her chest and then down her stomach. He ran one finger over her clit and then slipped it inside her. “Riddle me this. Did you ask me to stop when I laid you over the bed and swatted that sweet little ass of yours? Most importantly, did you want me to stop?”
Jess froze, swallowed hard as he slipped another finger in. She shook her head, ever so slightly, but enough that they both understood.
He grinned and removed his fingers. “Then, by default, you agreed. We shouldn’t let that happen again though, should we?”
Jess shook her head, stood, tangled her fingers around the roots of his hair, twisted, and yanked his face toward hers. She kissed him hard. “How do you like it?”
He pulled back just slightly, his hair still tangled in her fingers and eyed her naked body. “I quite like it.” He smiled.
Frustrated beyond what mere words could convey, she released his hair, dressed, and hurriedly packed her things.
Damn, he was good.
Chapter Fifteen
Jess hadn’t been back home with her children for more than twenty-four hours before Myles handed her the note that would forever change the course of her life. Looking back, she realizes that the course had likely already changed sometime before that, but this was the event that set all others in motion. She carefully unfolded the note without failing to notice that it was written on her very own stationery. An irony that wasn’t altogether lost on her. At least someone was writing.
Dear Jessica,
As per our prior discussion, I’d like to be a part of helping to get your life back on the right track. I promised you a list of rules regarding the ‘re-socialization project’ I proposed and they are as follows:
1. You must consent to the detox process and refrain from using all drugs, including alcohol, and remain clean at all times—participating in Narcotics Anonymous Meetings once a week for the duration of the program.
2. You must adhere to all methods of treatment both the doctor and I set forth, including but not limited to: a healthy diet, exercise and other various means of promoting well-being.
3. You must maintain complete open and honest communication with me at all times.
4. You pledge that you will mend fences with those who have been affected by your actions as a user.
