I could be living on the street right now. I could be in a homeless shelter with my few meager possessions, trying to figure out what the hell to do next.

Instead, I’m here.

The longer I stay here, the more it feels comfortable.

It was insane to even think about that last night. But he’s right. If I get out of here, where am I going to go? It’s not even a dilemma. I only have one option at the moment. Stay.

I’ll find a second option sometime. Until then, I might as well have something to eat.

Maybe I can wait until he lets his guard down, steal his car. It must be around here somewhere. How else did he get here? I could take it and sell it, use the money to start a new life.

Would that make me a criminal?

He started it, I think to myself. I’d just be getting revenge.

I’m not the revenge type. Too much wasted energy gets tied up in such things. All I want is to get out of here before I end up falling for him.

That’s what I’m most afraid of, when I get right down to it.

I stand here, running my hand along the hangers, feeling the fabric of each dress. My mind is whirling. He bought all these for me. Each one costs more than I could hope to make in a year, maybe five years. I haven’t even started looking through the boxes of shoes.

He’s done this for me. I’ve never had anyone buy me something before, not once in my life. It’s hard to accept.

I know why he’s doing it. He wants me to accept this is how things are going to be.

Would it be that bad to marry him? I’d have some security in my life. No bills to pay. The most handsome man I’ve ever met would take my virginity. It could be worse, right? Better than a fumble in the back seat of a car with some spotty teenager.

He’s a real man. I’ve no doubt he knows exactly what to do in the bedroom.

I think of how he looked when he was wearing just the towel. I didn’t want to stare but I couldn’t help myself. His muscles drew my eyes down to where the towel was sitting, just above his cock. I swear I could almost see the root. Then he started getting hard. The towel barely hid the size of him.

What does it say about me that when I saw that, I wanted to whip his towel away? Take a good look, maybe even put my hands on it, see what it feels like to hold.

I was trying to look him in the eye, but in my mind I was on my knees, mouth open, letting him slide in between my lips.

I may never have done it before, but that doesn’t mean I’m totally innocent. I’ve watched enough porn, read enough romances. I know what to do with my tongue. I think.

But with him? With the man who kidnapped me? What is wrong with me?

I pick out a halter-neck dress. It’s emerald green and sits nicely on me. My tits aren’t too visible, just a hint of cleavage. Shows off some of my legs. I look at myself in the mirror. I have to admit, Giuseppe was right about the sizing.

I rummage through the shoe boxes. They all look too beautiful to touch. In the end, I settle on a matching green pair of flats. I slide my feet into them and they fit perfectly.

That done, I feel like a different woman. I even find myself panicking that my underwear doesn’t match the outfit. I slide open the chest of drawers. Filled with bras and panties. Socks in the next drawer, pantyhose too. So many items. How long are they expecting me to stay here?

I change my underwear, choosing a thong, something I’ve never worn before. Gets rid of the pantie line that was showing through the dress which works for me. The bra I choose is strapless, holding my boobs in place without ugly straps sticking out and ruining the effect of the dress.

I don’t even know why I’m making such an effort.

Yes, a voice says in my head, you do.

I ignore the voice, making my way downstairs to the dining room in time to find Eva pouring out two mugs of coffee.

“Marco will be here shortly,” she says, pointing to the seat near the window. “Please.”

I sit down, picking up my coffee mug and looking outside. The shutters have been folded back. I can see out into a garden filled with beautiful flowers. Beyond it are the trees of the surrounding countryside, blocked off at their bases by a white stone wall. The wall’s topped with wire and cameras. I’m not getting out easily, that’s for sure.

I just need to work out where he keeps his vehicles and their keys. Then I can go wherever I like.
