She thinks I'm a monster.

Good.

"I expect answers when I speak to you, or I'll leave you on this cross all night," I threaten.

Blakely's lips tremble. Her eyes turn to slits.

All I want to do is kiss those trembling lips. The fact I can't only pisses me off further. I warn, "Is that what you want? To stay on this cross all night?"

"No."

"No, who?"

"No, Sir."

I repeat, "Tell me what you learned. And think before you speak."

She waits a moment, then says, "To follow the rules."

"And?"

She swallows hard. "Pleasure and pain can morph together."

"And how do you know this?" I ask.

Her face turns red.

"Well?" I push.

She takes a deep breath. "From what you did to me."

What I did toher?

Not what I did to Aria but what I did to her.

My cock turns hard again. I try to hide my surprise and ask, "And what did you learn from Aria?"

She licks her lips and admits, "That I have to wait to come until you permit me."

Her answers are so perfect I want to kiss her again. It gives me hope that all is not lost. I nod and walk behind her.

I snap several photos of her, bare-assed with my handprints in red, her gold bra still on, and her juices glistening in a streak down her leg. I'm so disoriented about everything that went wrong yet still right that I feel giddy. I almost send it to her father, then remember it's my personal phone.

I release the restraints and pick Blakely up, carrying her to a bedroom suite. I turn on the shower and order her to get in.

She hesitates, then asks, "Aren't you joining me?"

Every part of my body wants to, but I need to reestablish control.

"No." I turn and leave the room. There's no more sex with Blakely until she passes the test at the club. I can't afford any more mistakes.

Blakely

Istep out of the shower, and Riggs orders me to come to bed. To my surprise, his hair is wet.

"Did you shower?" I ask.
