Kissing her on the lips to reassure her that I wasn’t upset I assured her. "I don't give a flying fuck what anyone out there thinks about what happened. My only concern isyouand thatyouare comfortable with everything that happens here tonight."

"Yes."










CHAPTER

18

Sloane

Interrupted by thedoor opening, I saw yet another large, tall, muscular man with dirty blond hair and stunning green eyes take up the doorway. I couldn't help but wonder, did a Dom come in any other size but huge? The man looked back and forth between Archer and I like he wasn’t sure if what he wanted to tell him would be okay to say in front of me. "Archer, I-I'm sorry to interrupt you, but we have some footage on one of the cameras we installed and I need you to take a look at it."

Nodding his head, Archer, turned to give me a look of concern. "Are you going to be okay if I have you wait in here for me?"

"Yes, I'll be fine, it's okay."

"Lock the door behind me when I go out, and don't open it for anyone but me, all right?"

"I won't." After he kissed me on the forehead and left, I closed the door and locked it.

Moving over to the other side of the room, I took a seat at the desk. As I sat there, I began to really look around the room, since every time I'd been in here, I'd never been given the chance to. Looking over at the wall adjacent from me, I noticed a large black button on it, and it made me feel like a curious child all over again with the way it called to me to push it. Getting, up I looked around the room for whatever might happen or pop up if I pushed it, but I didn’t find any drapes, tv's or computer screens, so I took a deep breath and figuredwhat the helland pushed the button. I waited for a moment, but nothing happened, and I started to panic that I'd just caused something somewhere else in the club to happen that I couldn't see. "Shit, why did I have to touch that damn thing?!" I scolded myself just as I heard something move inside the room. Looking behind me, I watched as the whole wall seemed to disappear before my very eyes, leaving a glass window that looked into another room. It was all dark with very little lighting. Suddenly the lights flipped on and a man and a woman entered the room, causing me to duct down so they didn't see me. "Crap, how the hell am I going to get to that damn button without them seeing me?" I panicked.

Slowly trying to move, as not to draw any attention to myself, I looked back just in time to see the woman now naked and looking right at me. "Shit, shit, shit." But when I looked at her, the expression on her face didn't change, and she acted as though I wasn’t there in front of her. Testing my theory that this was some sort of viewing room, I waved my hand in front of the beautiful red headed woman and she still didn't react. Standing up straight, I walked closer to the glass wall. Looking behind her, I saw the man come forward to stand behind her with his big arms crossed over his chest. He had a mask on and seemed to be giving her some sort of order as I watched her drop to her knees into a sub pose. I pulled my eyes off of them for only a moment to take a look around the room that they were in and noticed all the tables, whips, and toys that hung on the walls. Not able to tear my eyes away for long, I returned to watching them as he circled her unmoving body, seemingly talking to her, but I wasn’t able to hear his words, making me wonder if this room was totally soundproof. I watched him as he strode over to the corner and chose an item off of the wall, a riding crop like you would use when ridding a horse. Stalking back over to her, he rubbed the crop down her back and over her shoulders before snapping it against her skin in several quick swats, hard enough to cause her to scream out, shocking me that I could in fact hear her and the sound of the whip slapping against her flesh. Covering my mouth, I continued to watch the scene play out before me, feeling like a voyeur, an intruder into their privacy, but God help me I just couldn't stop watching. He bent down to whisper something in her ear that caused her to jerk her head up, and as soon as she did, his hands were wrapped up in her hair, tugging her to a standing position. As I closely watched her face, I couldn't tell if she was just playing along with the role she'd been told to play, or she was truly as scared as she seemed to be. She struggled against his hold when he pulled her to the other side of the room, hooking her hands and feet to a large cross I hadn’t noticed before. As I kept watching her closely, she continued to struggle against him like she was trying to escape as he continued to try and hook her feet and wrists to the cross. The sight of her struggling so much caused a sinking feeling in my stomach that this woman was no longer a willing participant in the scene he was playing out.

"Red!"

I heard her clearly yell at the top of her lungs, and now I knew for sure what I thought was true. Wrapping his hands around her neck, I watched as her face started to turn bright red and I could see her starting to lose consciousness, so I did the first thing that popped into my mind. I began to pound on the glass between us, yelling. "Let her go! Let her go!" His head turned to look my way as the woman went limp before the lights in the room dimmed and I saw the door open and shut. I knew I need to get to Archer and tell him as fast as I could. Unlocking the door, I ran out of the office and down the hallway.

Coming around a corner, I ran straight into Logan. Placing his hands on my shoulders to steady me he asked. "Hey, what's the big hurry? And why isn't Archer with you?"

Trying to catch my breath, I looked up to reply to him when I saw a masked man, that appeared to be looking straight at me from further down the hallway, before he vanished into the crowd. "Oh my God, he knows I saw him."

Grabbing my arms to get my attention, Logan asked. "Who? Who saw you? Archer?"

"No, the man in the mask. I think... I think he killed a woman!"

"Where? Show me right now!"
