almost as well. Even now he sometimes watched her, aware that just below the surface the wild beast still lingered, no more that a heart beat away.
Every day he took a whip to her oiled intimidating body, a salient reminder of what would befall her if she ever disobeyed him.
She never smiled, instead her gingery brown eyes watched the world coldly; she had the eyes of a predator. He beckoned her closer. She dropped to her knees and crawled across the floor towards him. Even with those bewitching feral eyes downcast her posture did not quite disguise her arrogance. At his feet she bent lower still, resting her forehead on the floor near his feet.
Her scarred oiled flesh glowed in the lamp light. He took a thin switch from his desk and flexed it thoughtfully. He let his imagination roam free; there was nothing he could not do to this girl, nothing he had discovered yet…
The phone rang, breaking his concentration. It was his private line so he must answer it. Angrily he plucked the receiver from the stand.
"Yes?" he snapped.
"St. Leonard's hospital here. May I speak to Mr Johnson?"
Immediately he got a grip on his tone, spoke more softly, but it was only skin deep.
"Ballard Johnson speaking. How may I help you?"
"I hope you don't mind me ringing so late but you asked me to contact you when Mr Roberts regained consciousness? Well, I'm sure you'll be delighted to hear that he came round this afternoon."
Johnson smiled thinly. "Really, well, that is marvellous news," he said. "When will he be able to receive visitors?"
"Tomorrow afternoon, perhaps."
"I shall come."
He hung up and looked at the warrior slave girl. Tomorrow he would know for certain what had happened to Peter Howard from this eye witness, Roberts, whoever he was. At the thought of Peter Howard he felt the fury low down in his gut, burning up through him in a wild bush fire.
The girl at his feet felt his anger. She was trembling slightly, a delicate veneer of perspiration lifting across her shoulders and in the small of her back. He let the head of the switch draw a line from the nape of her neck to the boney prominence between her flat well muscled buttocks. She got up slowly, uncurling herself like a sleek cat. As she drew back her shoulders he brought the length of the switch sharply across her dark cinnamon coloured nipples. Caught off-guard she let out a wild throaty roar and threw back her head, eyes flashing furiously.
"Come to me!" he commanded.
Though he was never certain that she understood his words she understood what was expected of her. She pressed her head to his chest, nuzzling him. He stroked her beaded hair and guided her down over his desk, fingers working along her spine. She dropped her hips, opening her sex rhythmically like a wet pink mouth. Even here, on the skin closest to her most private parts, the tattooist's art was visible. He drew back the switch and struck her low, where the crease of her buttocks joined her thighs.
The second blow was higher. He began to rain a flurry of blows down on her blue and silver scarred flesh. She threw back her head and howled like a dog as the redness flushed through her skin, turning her golden skin to colour of a stormy sunset.
Finally he threw the whip down onto the floor, dropped his trousers and plunged his raging bulbous cock into the dark stormy recesses of her anus. She snorted madly and bucked against him, while his hands circled round to cup her slick glistening breasts. He nipped and twisted her long distended nipples.
She gasped, matching him stroke for stroke as he plunged deeper and deeper into the stunningly tight orifice nestling between her buttocks. He felt her hands slipping down between their legs, one palm cupped the root of his cock, nipping and pressing in time with their thrusts. The fingers of the other, he knew, would be buried to the hilt in her sex, a thumb rubbing her clitoris. He sensed the rhythm of her fingers through the thin membrane that divided her two
