Emily gave a sigh as Nathaniel set her on the bed, the handcuffs no longer on her wrists, but on her ankles. She watched as he walked over to the dresser and took out an outfit, his eyes smiling when he got back in front of her. "Stand up darling."
She nodded quickly before pushing herself off the bed and onto her unsteady feet. She kept her eyes on his as his fingers went to the first button of her nightgown, and her hands immediately went over his. "May I do it, sir?"
Nathaniel let his eyes harden on the woman before nodding his head, his fingers tracing the flesh of her chest before he let her go. He watched as her nimble fingers slowly worked the two buttons that covered her chest, before pulling the nightgown over her head.
Emily shivered as the cool temp hit her naked body, her eyes stinging slightly as she felt Nathaniel's eyes wander over her uncovered skin. She knew she had to gain his confidence and trust. No matter how she did it, she knew it had to be done.
She took the underwear from his hands and hooked the white bra around her chest. When she looked down to the underwear in her hand, her eyebrow lifted when she gave a glance to her ankles. They were still handcuffed together. "Sir?"
Nathaniel took the underwear back from the woman's hands before unclipping a small hook that was held at the crotch.
Emily averted her eyes to the ceiling as the man before her sat her down on the bed, drawing the panties up her legs before clipping them to her.
He gently took hold of her arm before standing her back up and slipping the gown he had gotten from the dresser over her head. The dress was black and formfitting, with blue and white feather looking patterns around the chest and waist. Emily looked up to the man as he ran his fingers through her hair. "Where did you get this?"
Nathaniel looked at the woman with sad eyes before giving her a slow smile, wiping his fingers across her cheek. "It was my wife's. But it looks so much more beautiful on you."
Emily felt her heart begin to beat in her ears as she gave a slight nod, seeing an actual tear fall down his concrete face. She hesitantly let her fingers reach up to his cheek and wipe the tear away, her eyes connecting with his as his hand came up to hold hers. "Thank you."
He gave a nod before taking her face between his hands, his lips placing a kiss to her brow. "If you stay this calm and polite, and just as beautiful, I won't hurt you."
Emily had a shiver go down her back before she put her hands over his, her teeth sinking into her lip as she looked up into his eyes once again. "Please don't hurt me. I can be Mable, I promise. I will do anything you ask, Nathaniel. Just please don't hurt me."

Hampton gave a smile when she saw her master carrying the beautiful brunette who was now becoming a part of their big family. As she watched the older man set the brunette down onto the floor, she made her way up to them with a tray of glasses in hand. "Would you like a drink? Sir? Miss?"
Emily quickly shook her head as she watched Nathaniel take a drink into his hand. Her voice was husked as she gave the maid her best smile. "No thank you, Hampton."
Nathaniel shooed the maid before taking Emily's hand in his own, helping her hobble over to the living room where the children sat, their school books already laid out. "Children, are you ready?"
"Yes sir!"
Emily let her sad eyes wander over the three blonde's who had smiles on their faces. So small and naïve. They didn't know how scary their father could become…
