Chapter 4
She sat alone for hours. She couldn't take it any more. She went to the door and began to pound on it. She startled yelling, "Hey! Get up here! Kane! Come on!"
She backed up from the door quickly when she heard the lock unlatch. Slamming the door open, he angrily yelled at her, "What?"
"I'm bored," she sweetly told him. "I want to come out. Please? I promise, I'll be good."
"My keeping you locked in here is part of your punishment for trying to run away," he said.
"I promise, I won't disobey you again," she said.
"I said no," he said, slamming the door and locking it. She began to bang on it again. When he unlocked it and swung it open again, he painfully grabbed her arm.
"If you bang on the door or scream again, I will drag you to the basement and give you more of what you got last night!" he yelled at her. He roughly let her go and left the room.
She didn't dare make another sound. Maybe if she behaved herself, he would let her out. She decided she needed a plan. If she couldn't over-power him, maybe she could out think him.
She would start by accepting this as part of her punishment. She walked over to the window and looked out. She wished she would have paid more attention the first time she looked out this window. She wouldn't have welts and cuts on her back now. This house was in the middle of nowhere. Even without that alarm, Kane would've found her anyway.
When he came back to bring her lunch, she stood in the middle of the room and waited for him. He placed her meal on the table and motioned for her to join him. She quickly obeyed. She ate the food and said, "You're a good cook."
He silently stood and removed her plate, leaving the room. When she heard him coming back she was afraid she'd angered him when she spoke. He opened the door and went into her bathroom. Returning with medicine and bandages, he instructed her to remover her shirt. She turned her back to him and obeyed. He gently removed the bandages from her back. He began to apply more medicine to the cuts and welts on her back. She sucked in a breath and winced again at the pain.
When he finished, he bandaged them. He gave her back her shirt and said, "You heal good. You won't scar, I don't think."
She put her shirt back on and waited for further instructions. He smiled at her obedience. When he moved to the door to leave, she took a chance and asked, "When can I come out?" He looked at her and said, "Not today. If you behave yourself, then maybe tomorrow."
She watched him leave, and heard the door lock. She sank down on the bed, proud of her obedient little self. She would get out of here or die trying. She would bide her time. Learn about him. Gain his trust. Whatever it took to never feel the sting of the whip again.
When he brought her her evening meal, she ate it without a fight. When she finished, he took her plate and handed her more clothes. "Take your shirt off." She turned her back and removed her shirt. He gently removed her bandages and said, "Take a shower."
He left the room, locking the door. She was terrified. The cuts and welts on her back would scream with pain under the water. But she walked toward the bathroom any way.
Turning on the water, she made sure the temperature was right. Removing the rest of her clothing, she stepped under the stream of water. She hissed when her back stung. It only got worse when she washed her hair.
Finally finished with torturing herself, she turned the water off and got dried off and dressed. She wondered if Kane was going to dress her wounds again. The fabric irritated her back.
Stepping out into her room, Kane was waiting again. She walked to him and waited. He reached out and stroked her face lightly. Bending down to her level, he kissed her. She wanted to hit him, but knew that would be stupid. He put his arm around her and pulled her to him. She cried out then he touched the cuts on her back.
He lifted her shirt over her head, exposing her to him. She wanted to cover herself and cry. She fought the urge and gave into him. He took her hand and led her to the bed.
He turned to face her and sat down. He pulled her between his knees and began to kiss and suckle her breasts. He was surprisingly gentle with her.
Instinctively, she wrapped her arms around his neck. This seemed to please him. He took his shirt off, followed by her panties. He stood and removed his pants.
Her fear was growing again. She was still sore from him forcing himself on her, not to mention her back. It seemed he thought this through. He laid on his back and pulled her onto the bed. He picked her leg up and moved her to straddle him. He meant for her to ride him. She was scared of the pain she was sure to feel.
She wanted to run, but didn't dare try. If she wanted to gain his trust, she needed to start now. She gritted her teeth and braced herself.
He put his hands on her hips and guided her onto him. As he entered her, she put her hands on his stomach and moaned. When he was completely insider her, he gave her a minute to get over the pain. He reached up and wiped away a tear with his thumb. He moved her hips up and down, keeping his thrusts in time with her. He reached to pinch and squeeze her nipples. He raised his head and took her breast into his mouth.
She forgot her fear and pain as she realized she was building to her first orgasm. She threw her head back, moaning and screaming his name. After they climaxed, she collapsed onto his chest.
When she caught her breath, he kissed her forehead and patted her bottom. He lifted her up, withdrawing from her, and put her beside him. He caressed her face with his huge hand. His hand was bigger than her entire face, but was so comfortable cradling it.
"Diana, I do not enjoy hurting you. What you did to make me hurt you last night, was too much. Please never make me hurt you again," he told her.
She didn't speak, only nodded. He rose from the bed and retrieved the medicine and bandages. He went to cleaning her wounds an dressing them. When he was finished, he turned her head to face him and kissed her.
"Get some sleep," he whispered. He left the room and locked the door behind him. She said down on her stomach and slept.
