“My baby.”
Her baby?
“I’m almost six months pregnant. I couldn’t believe it, because I’m just starting to show, but I felt the baby move and went to the clinic, and they confirmed it. A little girl. The doctor said it’s unusual but not unheard of, that some girls who are naturally skinny and who are having their first child don’t show right up until the baby’s born. I haven’t had my period in years, and when you and I were together… I know you always used a condom, but…”
How did I not notice that she never got her period? I mean, I had her locked up for months.
Because I never think of anyone but myself.
Shock ices my blood. “Do you remember that time you ambushed me and we screwed right after? And I yelled out ‘fuck’?”
“Kind of?” She hugs herself, and more tears run down her cheeks.
“The condom ripped. That’s why I yelled. But I just… I didn’t think… I guess I was too busy going crazy to let myself worry about the fact that I might have gotten you pregnant.”
I’m going to be a father.
Me.
Murderer. Ruthless psychopath.
Daddy.
She’s crying so hard she’s shaking.
“They won’t even let me have utensils in here, Joshua. They’ll never let me keep my baby. They’ll take her away from me and put her up for adoption. Or once they do a DNA test and you prove you’re the father, they’ll let you have her but never let me see her. And there’s a serious chance that the only way you’ll be able to keep her is if you promise not to let me near her. Please, Joshua, please. I’m begging you. I’ll do anything if you get me out of here. Anything.”
A great calm descends on me.
“You want me to get you out of here? You want us to be a family? Then you have to promise me that you belong to me and that you’re mine forever. Promise that you forgive me for my stupid mistake and you’ll never try to leave me,” I say. And that is when I know that I am truly evil, for extorting her when she’s as helpless as she’ll ever be, but I also know that I will give everything I have to give Tamara and my daughter a good life. They will be safe and loved as I never was.
“I swear I’ll do whatever you want. Please, Joshua, please help me.” Her eyes are enormous, shimmering lakes of tears. “I want us to be a family. I love you. I’ve always loved you. I loved you so much that when you left me, I went crazy. You’re the strongest man I’ve ever known. You’re the man who can keep our daughter safe from the world. I’ll go down on my knees for you, Joshua, I’ll crawl for you. Just get me out of here. Getusout of here.” She glances down at her belly.
God, I love it when she begs.
“You will be my possession. My property. My slave and my lover.” I stare into her eyes, capturing her gaze. “I will punish you when I want, how I want, as hard as I want, and I won’t need a reason. I’m going to make a special collar just for you, and somewhere on your body, you’ll always be wearing it. Our daughter will never know that side of our life, but it will be there, always. We’ll have nannies to watch her when I want to take you. In private, you’ll call me Sir. I’ll fucking tie you down and spread you open and take you any time I want.”
I’m getting hard as I talk. The dark, dirty side of me is excited by what I’m doing to her right now. How I’m claiming her. How primal and right it feels.
“Yes,” she breathes. I can smell the musky scent of her arousal. “I will belong to you. I’ll be yours.”
Triumph makes me giddy. “Say ‘Yes, Sir’.”
“Yes, Sir.”
My smile turns cruel. “Yes to what, Tamara? The answer is very important.”
“Yes, I’ll be yours.” There’s an edge of desperation in her voice. “Your slave, your property, your fucktoy, your whipping post. As long as I can also be her mother.”
“Time’s up!” The guard calls, and Tamara stiffens with panic.
I hide my smile. Good. Let her feel afraid for a little while. It’ll make her that much more obedient when I get her out. “Hang in there. It won’t be long.”
