Master Class: An Alpha Billionaire Romance (+ Bonus Book 'Silent Daughter 1') (21 page)

"
U
ntie me
," I breathe, still recovering from my orgasm. "My arms are hurting."

I had been yanking at the restraints without consideration of the pain it caused while I was losing my mind over the incredible climax he made me endure.

"Only if you promise to be good," he says, still sitting between my legs.

"I promise," I whisper. "Master."

There is a certain sadness in his smile when he climbs over me to free my hands. My eyes follow him as he unfastens the rope around my left wrist.

A sigh of relief escapes my lips when my arm is free, and he gently rubs my wrist. He lifts my arm and places it on my chest.

"Relax," he whispers, as he leans over to the right side.

The relief in my arms is so overwhelming that it makes me feel dizzy. For a few moments, I am not capable of doing anything but lying on my back, my arms crossed on top of my chest.

"Thank you," I whisper.

I close my eyes while I relish the feeling.

He doesn't say anything but climbs off of the bed. I watch him as he walks over to the dresser and opens one of the drawers on top. He fetches something from there and comes back to me.

I glance at his hand, trying to figure out what he is holding. Leathery strings, it seems.

"You'll wear this from now on," he announces, holding up a collar in front of my eyes. It is made of black leather, about an inch thick and has a little ring attached to it.

"From now on?" I ask. "What do you mean?"

"Get up," he orders, instead of giving me an answer.

I obey and struggle to get myself in a seated position which is harder than expected because my arms are numb and weak, and my legs are still tied to the bedposts.

He gets back on the bed and helps me up, supporting me by placing himself behind me. I am too confused and weakened to fight when he puts the collar around my neck. He does it quickly without waiting for me to protest. I hear a clicking sound as he locks it.

When I hear the sound of the lock, I realize that I won't be able to remove it by myself unless I am willing to play around with knives and scissors at my neck.

I turn around, looking up at him with wide, pleading eyes.

"You will take this off when I go home tonight, right?" I ask. "I can't wear this at home."

He leans forward and plants a kiss on my lips, only to distract me from the fact that he hooks something to the ring at the front of my collar.

A leash.

He holds the other end of it in his hand and gently pulls on it, forcing me to follow his motions.

"Perfect," he whispers. "You were born to wear my collar."

I almost fall over when he suddenly decides to leave the bed again, still holding the leash in his hand. He attaches the other end to a big hook attached to the wall next my bed. Just like the collar itself, the hook is secured with a little key.

I am confined.

"What—"

"You won't be going home tonight," he announces, standing next to the bed, hands in the pockets of his pants and sporting a confident smile. "You are mine now."

My eyes widen with horror.

"This is not funny!" I protest. "Please, stop it. I think I've had enough for today—"

"This is no a game," he interrupts me, his gaze darkening. "I am serious. You are mine now. And you are not going home."

Panic spreads through my body as I am beginning to realize that he might not be joking. And yet, I cannot believe what I am hearing. My eyes wander around the room, unsure of what I am looking for.

Help? A way to escape?

Outside, the sunset has turned into twilight. Right about the time that my family is having dinner. This is probably the first time in my life that I wish to be with them.

"What—what are you doing?" I ask helplessly.

Leonard smiles at me.

"You have nothing to worry about," he repeats. "You are safe. I am not going to harm you."

"What
are
you going to do to me?" I ask.

I flinch when he grabs the leash and pulls me closer to him as he climbs back on the bed, planting a greedy kiss on my lips.

Only, this time I don't reciprocate. I am terrified.

"I am going to make you understand what it means to be mine," he whispers, his face so close to mine that I can feel his breath on my lips. "I am going to break you. I am going to free that little monster inside of you, peel off every barrier of protection you set up and reassemble a new you."

My lower lip is shivering as I listen to his words.

"Please," I beg while my eyes tear up. "Please, you scare me."

"Trust me," he whispers, kissing my cheekbone to catch the first tear that is rolling down my face. "You will love me for it."

I shake my head and start sobbing when he retreats from the bed and walks towards the door.

"No!" I protest. "Please, Leonard! No, don't—"

He ignores me and walks out the room. Another clicking sound reinforces my confinement.

I stare at the door in disbelief, my vision blurred by tears.

What the hell did I get myself into?

I
was right
.

She is not a screamer.
