“That’s not going to happen. Stay in your seat and eat your food.”
I get up and kiss her forehead. Taking her hair, I place it around her right shoulder, exposing the left side of her neck. Bending down, I kiss her from the bottom of her ear to her shoulder.
“Buttercup, pick up the fork and eat.” I lick her earlobe, wanting her to enjoy the sensations while I place the collar around her neck.
As she eats, I smile, happy to know I’m not going to have to spank her for being a bad girl. Each bite gets her another kiss or lick.
“Very good. Now, eat your eggs, little one. You are doing so well” She loves when I praise her. It’s always been that way and today isn’t any different. Her moan slips through her lips, and she wiggles in her seat.
Running the collar around her neck, it’s perfect. A platinum eternity collar around her neck. The Celtic knot pendant settles right along her collarbone and I close my eyes for a moment. She’s beautiful but with my mark permanently about to be around her neck, it makes her magnificent.
Locking it into place, I kiss her cheek and lick her ear. “You’re mine now. Let’s not forget it.”
Her eyes meet mine and I see the tears in them. This was supposed to be a special moment for us, but it seems I’ve ruined it. Her eyes hold ghostly shadows in them and she wets her lips.
“You’ve made that clear, Chris.”
She uses my name, and it pisses me off, but I keep my cool. I know better than to lash out in anger.
“I’m going to let your insolence go because of what’s happened and we will need to get back into a grove of things, but rudeness is not tolerated, little one.”
“Then maybe you should earn my respect instead of taking it.” Her hand goes to the collar and looks at her stuffies sitting on the table. She grabs them and gets up from the table.
“Your food needs to be eaten.”
“And I need my freedom, but it looks like we both aren’t getting what we want.” She turns away from me and walks to her guest bedroom. I follow her because this is not how things are going to go.
“Look, what I did was wrong. It was not right in any way, but I did it. You’ll have to find it in you to get over it but know that the contract and you are firmly in my grasp.”
Shit, that’s not what I meant to say. Why the fuck can I not just be good to her? Say nice things and see that smile grace her face?
“Noted, but that doesn’t change the fact that you betrayed me. Took my education away and ruined my family. I’m pretty sure my mom and David are coming back to Texas now. When they get here, it’s going to be horrible to face them. You tarnished me.”
Jasmine rummages through her drawers, and I growl. ‘What the fuck are you doing?”
“Getting dressed. I’m going to have to go and face the truth. You used me and you aren’t even apologizing for it. So, I have to save face with David. Somehow.”
I see red. “You want to save face with David?” Slamming her bedroom door causes her to jump and turn around to face me. “There is no leaving this goddamn house until you get it through your head. I own you and that means I’m going to do whatever the fuck I want with you. Including locking your ass up, until you are obedient.”
Her hand makes contact with my cheek, and it’s with such force, I stumble backwards. She clasps her hands over her mouth in shock and her eyes blink at me. “I… I didn’t mean to do that.”
Jasmine shakes from head to toe as I crowd her against the wall. “You want it rough, buttercup?”
Her curls bounce as she shakes her head no. “I’m… I’m sorry. That… I don’t know where that came from. I… I detest violence.”
My sweet girl is finally standing up for herself, and even now, sweetness. Not an ounce of meanness in her body. Hell, even when she’s bratty, she’s nice about it. I should apologize, take her home, and explain to David what the hell I did. Explain to my father that I was jealous that he chose a non-blood relative to be his successor. Knowing that Jasmine was in good favor with him was too much.
“Go to your cage.” I step back and rub my jaw. She clocked me good. If I wasn’t so pissed about the entire situation, I’d be proud of her for standing her ground.
“No. That’s for sleeping. I…” Cutting her off, I place my hand on her mouth and push in against her.
“Enough, Jasmine. Fucking enough. You’ve earned yourself a punishment and for now, that punishment is your goddamn cage. Now, either fucking get in willingly or I will make you go in. What do you want to do?”
“Please,” she whispers, but I’ve met my tipping point.
“Now.” I move back enough for her to move and she does. Thank God. Being even more cruel to her, would tear my heart out. But she’s testing me to the point, I’m going to fucking explode.
As she marches to our room, I think about making her fuck the machines again, but I know that’s not what she needs. Laying down, she holds her stuffies close to her and I feel like a monster, but I reach in to take both of them away from her.
