“What the hell does that even mean?” I ask frowning. She placed her hands on her hips and turns to face me.
“It means that you take everything one step at a time. For example, I learn dances one move at a time. Once I know it to that point I start again and let myself go a step further. Eventually, I will get to the last step, and I will have climbed the stairs successfully achieving the best outcome I could.”
“And when you get stuck you go to the first step and start again,” I add finally understanding her process.
“Exactly.”
Before I stop to have any doubts, I wipe at my face and turn the car around, the wheels spinning as I head to the place it all started. If I start from the beginning with a fresh mind I may be able to pick up on something we missed before.

If my calculations are right, then this is my third day here. I’m still tied to the bed, but I’m allowed off now and again to use the toilet. The first day I was here I screamed blue murder until two guys came in and took me. I’m still in the clothes I wore for my night out and to be honest I stink. As much as I want nothing more than to have a shower or even a wash, I’m hoping the fact that I sink is enough to put Hudson off touching me.
I still have no idea who Hudson’s working for, I don’t for one second believe that he is doing all of this just to get one over on Jason. As much as he loves making his little videos and sending them to him, he hasn’t done much more than grope me for now and I can’t help thinking whoever he’s working for is the reason he hasn’t taken it further.
I look around the room as the morning light starts to fill it and I can’t stop the prang in my heart as I ache for my guys. Before the last few days, I could count on one hand, and still have fingers left over, the times I have woken up alone. I miss the sound of Maximus’s soft snoring or the way Sean moans as he turns over in his sleep. I want to feel Jasons arms around me or Christian’s touch as he kisses the top of my head. More than anything I want to go home.
Everything is quiet until I hear the sound of boots outside of my room, getting closer. I take a deep breath to try and calm my racing heart. I refuse to show any sign of weakness to the prick, especially after he tried to fucking kill me. That wasn’t an experience I wish to relive. I hear the bolt being slid open before the door opens and Hudson and one of his lackeys walks in.
“Good morning,” I call out adding a smile for good measure.
“What the fuck are you smiling about?” Hudson walks over to the bed and starts undoing my ankle restraints. “Remember what I said?” I roll my eyes as I look at the dickhead behind him.
“I have to do as he says. I can’t escape as there’s nowhere to run to. I’m not to fight him as he will strangle me again and if I start to misbehave he will take me over his knee and spank me like a naughty little girl.” He never actually said the last bit but I’m hungry and tired and getting ratty.
“Are you always such a brat?” Hudson asks as he starts to untie my hands.
“I don’t know. Why don’t you phone Jason and ask him? I’m sure he would love to hear from you.”
I know I’ve pushed my luck when Hudson grabs hold of my hair and pulls me from the bed. I try and keep up with him to stop the hair from being ripped from my head. Hudson drags me from the room and throws me into the bathroom which is next door. I slide across the floor and hit the bathtub luckily managing to stop myself from getting injured. As I look up Hudson throws a bag at me and a towel.
"Get showered and put them on. Don’t try and do anything stupid.” He barks before leaving the room leaving his friend in here with me.
“Someone’s in a mood this morning,” I sigh as I stand up and open up the bag. Inside is shower gel, shampoo and deodorant, as well as a pair of leggings and a baggy t-shirt. “What no conditioner or underwear?”
“Just get showered and dressed, we haven’t got all fucking day,” the guy snaps.
“Rude.” I roll my eyes before looking back at him. “Any chance of some privacy?”
“Don’t push your luck,” is all I get back in response. Great.
I turn to the bathtub and see a shower head attached to the wall and a shower curtain. It won’t give me a massive amount of privacy but some things better than nothing. I stand in the bath and draw the curtain before pulling my dirty clothes off. I have a feeling this guy won’t do anything, because if Hudson hasn’t yet, I’m sure his lackeys won’t either. I still shower as quickly as I can, washing my long hair twice and stubbing every inch of my stinking body.
Standing at the back of the bath I dry myself the best I can with one towel and pull on my new clothes. They are all too big, but anything is better than nothing.
“Will you hurry the fuck up!” the guy standing guard calls.
“All right keep your hair on!” I pull back the shower curtain and look up to see that the guy is bald, “or not,” I add which earns me an eye roll. He bangs on the door once and it unlocks from the outside.
Hudson opens the door and looks at me as I run my fingers through my wet hair.
“Any chance of a brush?” I ask as I walk past him, and start heading towards my room. If I’m going to be forced to stay in one room then I will walk in here on my own terms.
I walk over to the window and look out at the garden below me. As always looking for any sign of where we are. I was knocked out for the whole trip here so we could be anywhere.
“Looking for a way out?” Hudson laughs behind me. I shrug as I turn to face him.
