exist.
The aching and throbbing continued.
What she really wanted - needed - was for Slader to be inside her. To thrust at
her, to keep the pleasure going.
But he wasn’t.
And he wouldn’t.
“Don’t move when I let you go,”
Slader said.
Jessica nodded. There was no option
to talk, not yet.
Slader’s touch left and when it
returned, Jessica felt something touch her wrist. She looked and it wasn’t
Slader’s strong hand.
It was handcuffs.
Jessica wasn’t sure whether to cry
for pleasure or help.
Handcuffs?
Jessica had never been in handcuffs
in her life. She’d never been in trouble that warranted handcuffs.
She looked back and saw the burning
look in Slader’s eyes. There was something deeper happening. It was the same
kind of look he gave her the other night, right before she left. It was the
look that scared her but kept her mind spinning ever since.
“Slader...”
“You’re going to understand
everything,” Slader said. “But first, I can’t lose you. I’ve waited so long for
you to come...”
The handcuffs clicked around
Jessica’s wrist and then he cuffed the other side to the leg of the piano.
Jessica watched in awe, knowing she wouldn’t be able to move the piano. She
wouldn’t be able to lift it. She wouldn’t be able to get out of the position in
which she found herself. Then again, would she leave?
She turned around, her left hand
handcuffed to the piano. Slader stood a few feet away, smiling.
No, Jessica told herself.
No, she wouldn’t leave. She’d wait,
even without the cuffs.
Because she wanted her night with
Slader. She wanted to experience Ashes in Vain and Alex Slader.
“Now you’ll get the experience
you’ve wanted,” Slader said. “I’m not a normal man, Jessica. I’m not a normal
rockstar. I am... everything. And if you obey me, you’ll experience
everything.”
Slader stepped forward and kissed
Jessica’s forehead.
Slader left the room, shutting the
door and locking it. Jessica’s nerves were aroused, and she started to shake.
She tried to sit down, but that was a terrible idea. Sitting in the wet mess
Slader created only made Jessica moan, wanting him back. Wanting more of him,
from him.
As her breathing started to calm,
she listened to the sounds of the crowd. Music had been playing and the crowd
had been enjoying it, but they wanted Alex Slader. That’s what they came for.
What they paid for.
And when Alex Slader took the
stage, Jessica knew.
The explosion of cheers shook the
building.
Then she heard Slader’s voice.
“Welcome... welcome... we’re here
to share an experience tonight. We’re locked together, aren’t we?”
Jessica swallowed.
Was Slader talking to the crowd or
to her?
“We’re here to experience
something... now, let me take control of you... for one night.”
The crowd cheered and the band
began to play.
For
one night.
That’s all Jessica wanted right
then.
She could do it.
Just one night with Alex Slader.
She’d have her story to write.
She’d have her ultimate fantasy to hold in her heart forever.
Just
one night.
I’ve
never. I have. I’ve won. I’ve lost. I have.
.9.
Carrie licked her teeth and
checked. There was no lipstick on her teeth.
Perfect.
She checked her dress, a tight red
dress with diamond accents that would make her sparkle from the second she’d
walk into the restaurant and take on another job John wanted her to do. As per
the contract, of course.
Once the job was completed, she’d
be paid and John would take her to his place and have sex with her. Intense,
wild sex, where they’d go move for move. Those were the nights when Carrie
couldn’t get enough of John. Other times she didn’t care so much about sex with
John. He took care of himself either, leaving Carrie on her own or to use one of
the few times in the contract she could command their sex.
But she had used one the night
before.
Carrie checked her phone, made sure
she had the address and directions, then left the
