from the only hiding place she had. He brought her back to the
present, to the undeniable truth of the nightmare from which she couldn’t wake:
staring squarely into the beautiful faces of the monsters that held her. Growing
up, her uncle always warned her that evil hid itself within the most enticing of forms, drawing its victims in with a false sense of
wonder … of hope. Madeleine now understood his warnings, wishing she’d never
ventured out of their small, warm home, into the night that would grab her and
never let her go.
    “Stand, Cricket. NOW!” His voice shook her small frame. If
not for her fear of being struck, she would have remained wrapped within the
cocoon of her body. Forcing herself into an upright position, tears leaked from
her eyes, small bits of heat sliding along her cheeks, turning cold before
running along the crease of her lips. The salty taste seeped into her mouth;
another reminder of her pain. Her muscles screamed in objection as she
stretched out her small frame. Her arms instantly moved to cover her breasts,
shame once again enveloping her thoughts. Xander remained quiet, allowing her the time to adjust, to come into compliance with
his request.
    Shakily, her legs held her as she stood at full height. Much
shorter than the man who stood before her, she could only see his chest, his
pants, his shoes; not daring to look up into his watchful eyes. He extended the
clothes to her, holding them low so that they would be within her line of
sight. “Put these on and then I’ll escort you to the restroom. Are you hungry?”
    Maddy shook her head, the movement
barely visible, but Xander still noted her refusal to
eat. “Very well. Take the clothes.” His hands pushed them forward, causing to
her to jump back when they came in contact with her skin. She forced out a
breath before reaching out to accept his offering. Her modesty got the better
of her as she turned herself to get dressed.
    “No.” His hands came up to gently grab her shoulders,
turning her back to face him. “You must learn to accept your nudity. Outside of
these walls, it will be the only thing you know. Your Master is being kind by
providing you these clothes, but do not expect that same level of kindness from
anyone else within The Estate. You should appreciate him. He risks himself by
allowing you this small comfort.” Xander’s words were
spoken in a soothing voice, but still the words cut like a razor.
    Anyone
else … so she was to be passed around to multiple people; a plaything and
nothing more.
    Another rush of air, her breath quickly left her as she
accepted her fate. She placed the clothes on the table beside her, choosing to
pull on the large t-shirt first, effectively covering herself as quickly as
possible. The t-shirt could have been a dress. Hanging down to her knees, it
swallowed the majority of her small frame. Xander chuckled softly. “With as small as you are, I see no need for the pants, but
I’m sure you would like as much covering as possible.”
    Her hand stilled over the pants while she waited for him to
finish his remark. As soon as the last syllable had left his tongue, her hand
grasped the fabric, pulling it to her. Putting the pants on one shaky leg at a
time, she pulled the full length of the material over her body. Xander chuckled again when he noticed how the waistband met
with her chest. “It appears I need to go shopping. It’ll be interesting trying
to smuggle clothes in unnoticed.”
    Maddy jumped again when his hands
gripped the waistband of the pants, his knuckles brushing across the tips of
her breasts through the thin material of her shirt. Arching away from his
touch, her eyes peeked up into his. Her breath caught at the sight of his blue
eyes; the color reminiscent of a stormy sea. Perfectly white teeth appeared as
he grinned. His hands moved the waistband of the pants to the widest part of
her hips; his fingers pulled the drawstring tight before tying it in place.
    “Those should
