It was as if he knew that Olivia was internally battling with herself at what happened last night, how thoroughly he fucked her all over the bedroom. How far she let him go without using a safe word. Though intense, she didn’t feel like she needed one. She’d held her own.

Olivia looked over and saw a bottle of water, her birth control, and some extra strength ibuprofen sitting next to a cup of coffee that was still steaming thanks to being placed on a coffee mug warmer. She glanced at him out of the side of her eye, feeling her face go hot as to why he’d suspect she’d need the ibuprofen.

“Thanks,” she whispered, twisting, and popping the pills in her mouth with some perfectly creamed coffee.

Olivia winced as they went down, scratching against her sore throat. She pulled the covers off and went to get up, wincing again for a different reason. She looked down at her body curiously and her mouth fell open.

Bruises the size of fingertips dotted her, looking stark and bright next to her creamy skin. A smattering of dark spots trailed along the top and sides of her knees, on the sides of her hips, a few shadows on her breasts. Her nipples were redder than normal and they definitely looked swollen.

She hissed as she pressed into the vicious bite mark on her neck, the skin deeply red and turning dark. Her eyes slowly turned to the full-length mirror across the room, and she saw Colin staring at her through it. His hooded eyes riveted to the sight of her body.

Olivia blushed furiously, turning, and making her way into the bathroom, to get away from his assessing stare where she saw a hot vanilla scented bubble bath had already been drawn. Breathing in the heavy humidity in the room, she stepped in, moaning in relief as the hot water penetrated her sore muscles.

“God,” Olivia whined, running her wet hands up and down her arms, soothing herself. She soaked for a long time, appreciating that he let her have her privacy. Feeling uncomfortable with his piercing gaze when she was feeling so vulnerable.

I can’t believe we fucked like that, she thought to herself. Incredibly embarrassed at how vulnerable she was.

She turned the jets on in the tub and attempted to mentally tally up how much time she added to their agreement in just the month she’d been with him. She grimaced and leaned her head back on the rest behind her. Her eyes turned to the big picture window, and she saw a beautiful crisp fall day through the glass pane.

She wondered briefly how she lived so long in that windowless basement apartment for so long.

“A penny for your thoughts, Amor?” Colin rumbled in his deep voice, having joined her in the bathroom. He entered to put away some sort of spray cleaner under the cabinet, collapsing the mop and sliding it next to it under the cabinet. Standing up, he settled himself into that increasingly familiar stance against vanity, his arms and legs crossed as he studied her.

“Were you cleaning? Where’s Beth?” Olivia asked, slightly shocked. Ignoring his question. She tightened her lips as he flashed her that dazzlingly bright smile, feeling this man was miles away from the beast that he’d unleashed on her last night.

Colin rolled his sleeves of his shirt back down, smoothing out the crinkles. He cleared his throat and ended on a slight deep hum in his chest, as if he was remembering something delightful. The words he spoke to her last night echoed in her head and she blushed deeply, grateful the water hid her shaking hands.

God I’m going to enjoy making you into my little slut. It’s going to be my greatest accomplishment ever, his words bounced around her head.

She slid slightly deeper under the water, feeling like it should be boiling around her at this point.

“The floor by the lounge needed to be cleaned, and I moved the drinks cart temporarily. Seems we made quite the mess. I don’t want Beth to clean that sort of thing up, it’s not exactly in her job description. I’ll take care of that for us, usually,” he replied simply. His eyes fell to her lips momentarily, a slight smirk on his face.

Olivia blushed in embarrassment, slipping down further into the tub.

“Olivia, look at me,” he said. Her eyes reluctantly met his before lowering to a spot on his chest. He chuckled. “Are you embarrassed because of last night? Because that’s just the way I fuck, baby,” Colin tilted his head, his eyes not leaving hers.

She made a small, distressed sound and sunk the rest of the way into the water, disappearing temporarily. She held her breath until her lungs burned before popping back to the surface, gasping for air. The burn in her lungs did much to clear her head. She looked over, blinking water out of her eyes, still seeing him there watching her. A look passed over his face that he hid quickly.

Gone so soon, she almost wondered if she imagined it. She ignored his second question, in favor of the first one.

“I was thinking, how I managed to stay in a windowless place for so long. It was miserable, like a prison. And I didn’t even realize,” Olivia said quietly, looking up through her lashes at him. She let out a sigh before flickering her gaze once more to the big window next to them.

Colin pushed off the vanity and walked over to where she was, squatting down and placing his hand on the side of her head. Uncaring of her wet hair, his eyes roamed her face greedily.

“I’m going to pick you out something to wear,” he stated after a few seconds. “We’re going on a field trip.”

Olivia nodded and then watched quietly as he stood back up and walked out of the bathroom. Leaving her alone with her thoughts once more.

Pulling the plug to the tub, Olivia awkwardly clambered out and wrapped a towel around her body, moving slowly. Her body’s soreness mixing with the relaxation of the bath made her feel like she was moving underwater. Taking her time, she blow dried her hair before spraying it and putting it half up and half down. Leaving wispy tendrils to frame her face. Twisting her lips she eyed the dark bruises on her neck and collarbone from Colin's mouth, contemplating how to cover it.

Dismissing it for a second, she applied a very light makeup to her face, preferring the look that brown mascara afforded her. She carefully gelled her eyebrows, giving her face a very vibrant and fresh look. Miles away from the way she felt from the neck down, and they’d only done missionary.

Olivia moved almost in a daze, wondering how was she going to feel when they got to some of the other stuff she read about in the contract? Page three? She felt dizzy when she thought of page three.

Wrapping the towel around her body, she ventured off into the bedroom seeing he laid out a beautiful dark blue La Perla lingerie set. Along with a lengthy soft cashmere white turtleneck, and similar dark blue jeans to what he was wearing. Her’s fit skintight and showcased her legs amazingly. The turtleneck hung slightly long, skimming her hips sexily.

Pensively looking at herself in the mirror, Olivia noticed in surprise that she took on the expensive aura that Colin often possessed, and decided she liked the feeling of the clothes transforming her.
