“Do you need me to open the door for you?”
“No. I've got it.”
“Very well. Goodnight, all.”
As Grey makes it up the three wide stone steps at the front of the house, I feel him remove something from his pocket and hear the clicks of a lock.
“How did he know my name?!” I ask to his infuriating silence. “Do you know how mortifying that was for him to see me like that?!”
“Stanley’s a big boy. He’ll recover from the shock.”
“What, is he used to seeing you drag women into your man cave like some flint-chomping maniac?”
“No,” he replies, carrying me inside. “First time. Though it’s good he gets used to it. I highly suspect it won’t be the last time he sees me dragging you into my house like this.”
A high-pitched breath flutters from me as he slams the front door behind us, using one foot to push off the shoe on his other, and then vice versa, before marching us down the unlit foyer of his house.
“All the blood’s rushing to my head,” I moan.
“Don’t worry about that. Very soon it will be rushing someplace else.”
“You’re funny, you know that?! Where are we going?!” I shout as he carries me deftly down a corridor, the only light seeming to be the faint glow from somewhere near the ceiling.
“To the room you’ll be getting your first punishment in,” he growls. “And it willnotbe the last…”

Indigo
By the time I’m placed down onto my feet, I’m thoroughly disorientated, unable to resist as he yanks my jacket down my arms and throws it onto the floor nearby.
In the dim light, I see a huge heavily varnished wooden table and before I know it, I’m bent over it despite my protests, my stomach and breasts pushed into the wood. Grey reaches for the waistband at the back of my navy leggings, pulling them and my panties all the way down my legs.
“Hey!”
The clunk of metal and the zip of fabric tells me he’s undoing his belt and pulling it out, but before I can say another word, the sharp lash of leather hits my bare ass.
I breathe into the table, barely able to believe he just whipped my ass, but before I can speak, another stroke of leather hits me hard and I yelp, taking a moment to absorb the sting left in its wake… one that mixes with unfamiliar pleasure, radiating between my legs.
As I try to turn my head, I’m stung once again by the merciless strike of his belt, this time administered with an unabashed growl. At the sound of the muted clang of metal onto the hardwood floor, I feel his fingertips on my ass.
“Hmm… Nice and pink,” he snarls. “You mark nicely.”
“Now, hang on a—”
My words are arrested by the twist of his hand around my ponytail followed in short measure by him cranking my neck way back as he leans his full weight onto my back until I whimper from the sheer dense heft of all highly uncivilized six foot three of him.
His lips rub my ear from behind as he breathes into it heavily, the blasts of air coarse and untethered. “I hope you enjoyed the date, Indigo. Because that’s the last one you’ll ever be going on with a man other than me.”
“Like hell!” I shoot back only for him to twist my head back by my hair, letting out a thunderous growl into my ear.
“Let me make it very clear to you, you insubordinate little brat. You don’t talk to men anymore. You don’t look at them. If I catch a man looking at you again as if he wants to fuck you, he may walk out of the room with his eyes stapled shut.”
“You’re delusional, you know that?!” I bite back. “News flash, I can datewhoever the hellI want.”
His heated breath scrapes against my profile. “That’s where you’re wrong,” he gnarls. “From this moment on, you belong to me and me alone. You, your body, your mind. Every fucking piece of you is now mine. And you don’t get to touch another man ever again.”
“You can go to hell, Grey! I told you straight I’m not interested in your sordid little fucking experiment. That doesn’t work for me, sorry.”
