"Thank you, Penny." She said as Penny pulled away and held her at arm's length.

"Okay, let's get this ridiculous, yet stunningly sexy thing, off of you so you can finally relax a little," Penny said, patting her shoulders before she turned AJ around. She took the straps and pulled them from her arms, helping AJ slide the outfit down her legs. AJ was naked again but didn't really care at this point. She turned back around as Penny grabbed one of the towels and wrapped AJ in it before grabbing the toiletry bag and leading her into the bathroom. "Now, my girly senses are tingling and they are telling me you'd prefer a bath over a shower right now." AJ could only laugh again and nod as Penny started the hot bath water, adding in some oils that smelled of cherry blossoms and honey. AJ was already starting to relax. Penny dug through the bag and pulled out some make-up removing wipes and set to work on helping AJ clean her face off. AJ knew she could've done this herself but it kind of felt good being taken care of at that moment. When Penny was done with AJ's face, the younger girl offered her a friendly smile. "There is some shampoo, conditioner, soap, body wash and toothpaste in the bag. Take care of yourself and get some rest." She said softly before excusing herself from AJ's personal space.

Once Penny was gone, AJ let out a few deep breaths. She wasn't ready yet. Just a little longer until she could let go. She shook her head and dropped the towel, grabbing the bag to set on the floor next to the tub before finally allowing herself to sit and relax in the gigantic thing. The hot water seemed to flow through every crevice of her body as she sank up to her nose and closed her eyes. The events of the past day ran through her mind over and over and she kept wondering what everyone back home must be thinking. Had Jamie, the rest of her friends and Nancy noticed her gone? Had her professors wondered why she wasn't in class? Had she been reported missing? Were people looking for her?

With one last trembling breath, she sat back up and got to work. She washed her hair with a shampoo that smelled of roses and let the conditioner sit as she used the soap and body wash all over her body. There was no razor to shave with but she knew that was deliberate. At least she had shaved the night in the tub before she was taken. Once her body was clean and her hair was rinsed, she pulled the drain and climbed out of the water before she brushed her teeth and hair. Wrapped in a towel, she went back into her room and went to her bed to see what she had for clothes. Under the rest of the towels was a very large, white t-shirt and a pair of blue plaid boxers. It took her less than a second to realize that they most likely belonged to Leon and for a moment, she wondered if that romper would be so terrible to sleep in. However, she couldn't help lifting that shirt and slowly brought it up to her nose. She closed her eyes and let that spicy, rugged scent fill her nose. Everything about Leon from an outside perspective was just so...attractive. AJ couldn't help but think it. Of course, knowing that he was okay with the sale and purchase of other humans against their will kind of threw a wrench in his level of hotness.

A soft knock on her door made AJ jump and she quickly threw the shirt over her head as she heard the click. She pulled the towel out from under the shirt, wiggling it away from her body as the door opened and a very friendly looking woman peeked her head in with a smile.

"I'm sorry for the intrusion, Miss. I brought dinner," The woman said as she entered the room, holding a tray in her hand, and closed the door. The woman was older, maybe in her forties. Her blonde hair was styled in a long braid that rested over her shoulder and her blue eyes shown with genuine joy. Her heart shaped face felt familiar and AJ guessed that this woman and Penny were related. She'd have to ask one of them later. The lady was wearing black pants and a classic chef's coat that looked nice but seemed out of place in a private residence. On the tray she was holding laid what looked like a plate of chicken Alfredo, a few bread sticks, a bowl of steamed broccoli and a glass of water. AJ could smell it already and only in that moment did she realize just how hungry she was. The woman set the tray down on the nearest nightstand.

"You must be Kelly," AJ said as she pulled the boxers up her legs. They immediately slacked and she was afraid that they'd fall right off. Kelly offered her a friendly smile.

"Indeed, it's nice to meet you, Miss AJ," Kelly said, holding her hand out. AJ took it and shook it softly.

"Likewise," AJ responded and Kelly nodded softly.

"Eat up, get some strength back. Mr. Braxton is hoping you'll join him at the table one of these nights but he figured you'd appreciate your own space tonight." Kelly said and AJ openly rolled her eyes as she moved the rest of the towels off her bed and to her love seat.

"I bet he did," She said sarcastically. "But I appreciate you bringing it up. I would've done it myself if I wasn't trapped in here." She said, her tone dripping with bitterness. Kelly kept the smile on her face, though. She expected this, AJ was sure.

"No problem at all, Miss. Get some sleep, I'll see you in the morning for breakfast," Kelly said as she gave her a little head bow and quietly made her exit. AJ allowed herself to feel just a little guilty. Penny and Kelly had been nice but her own bitterness wouldn't let her make friends in this scenario. What was the point anyway?

AJ sat on the edge of her bed and picked at her food. Although she felt like she was starving, she couldn't bring herself to eat more than half of what she was given. Her stomach was in knots from the day's events and on top of it, all she could think about was Leon's scent surrounding her. She felt like it was seeping into her skin from his clothes. For a second, she thought that he probably did it on purpose for whatever reason. She was sure Kelly or Penny had extra clothes, why give her some of his? It seemed almost cruel. When she was done with her food, she downed the glass of water and tried to quiet her mind but no matter how hard she tried, it was filled with the images, voices and emotions from the last day of her life.

As she laid down and slowly wrapped herself in the giant purple comforter, she finally resigned herself to all of the emotion she had been hiding. What started out as a few tears slowly built to quiet crying which then turned into full on sobs until AJ was screaming into her pillow. Never in her life had she felt such sorrow, helplessness, loss and rage. So many feelings in her mind that she didn't know whether to continue crying or if she should rampage around her room, breaking anything and everything, punching holes in walls or ripping up all the pretty new fabrics she was laying in. In the end, her body won over her mind and AJ sobbed until she was in a deep, restful sleep.

There was a brightness behind her eyelids and AJ tightened her closed eyes before slowly opening them, blinking as the view of the beautiful blue lake appeared in her vision. As she sat up, she rubbed the dried tears and sleep from her eyes before she stood to look out the giant windows. Despite herself, the view was beautiful. The amount of green from the thick trees, contrasting with the vibrant blue of the lake immediately relaxed her and just made her love nature all the more.

AJ's daydreaming was interrupted by the sound of her door lock clicking. Her head whipped around and she watched as Leon, dressed in similar dark jeans as the previous day, a black button up shirt and his dark boots came walking in. When he saw her, his little smile brightened as he looked her up and down, seemingly liking the vision of her in his clothes. However, when he saw her face, his smile all but disappeared. Without breaking eye contact, he placed a pile of clothes on her bed as he approached her and she instinctively backed away until she was once again, pressed against the glass of the giant window. He stopped with about a foot between them and with a moment of hesitation, he very slowly raised his hand. As if he were trying to comfort a feral animal, he very softly rested his hand on AJ's cheek. Her eyes widened and she flinched away but his hand remained where it was.

"You've been crying," He stated simply with what AJ thought was genuine concern in his fiery eyes. His thumb gently rubbed the flesh beneath her right eye and for a moment, AJ was lost. She could not look away from the molten lava that seemed to live in his eyes and Leon seemed to feel the same way about the storm clouds that lived in hers. Suddenly, she blinked and shook her head as she brushed his hand away from her.

"What did you expect? I'm not on vacation or anything," AJ replied, knowing she couldn't hide her lapse in control. She moved to step around him and he let her, placing his hands in his pockets as he turned to watch her walk away from him. AJ felt weak that he had noticed and she wished that she had thought to wash her face as soon as she woke up.

"No," Leon said softly. "A vacation would require you to be somewhere other than home," AJ's lip twitched angrily and she turned to glare at him.

"How many times do I have to tell you that this is not my home?!" She yelled, marching right back up to him. She was toe to toe with him now, looking up at his infuriatingly neutral face. "I am not here because I want to be, I am here because I was abducted from my bed and dragged here by crazy people who think this is okay! And you," She said, jabbing her finger into his surprisingly hard chest, "Are no better! You BOUGHT me! You stole me!" With every word, she poked Leon's chest harder and by the time she was done with her sentence, she drew back her finger and geared up for another assault. Before she could blink, though, Leon grabbed her hand and drew it back with a painful twist. AJ let out a pained squeal as he twisted her arm back enough that she was sure her bone would break. Leon then circled her around as if they were dancing, her back to his chest, and walked her forward. Before she could react, he bent her over the side of her bed so her body was at a ninety degree angle. He pressed her assaulting arm against her lower back as he lifted a knee onto the bed to lean over her. AJ let out a primal, frustrated yell as she squirmed beneath him, her toes barely touching the hard wood floor. Leon leaned down until AJ could feel his hot breath against her ear and his crotch against her ass. She shuddered and began to wiggle with more vigor, even if she knew it was futile.

"Aiden, do not ever speak to me like that again. Do not ever put your hands on me violently again or you will be punished." He said calmly and evenly. AJ let out another angry grunt and shook her head against her comforter.

"Oh, so it's okay for you to touch me violently then?" She asked, mocking his words. Leon tightened his grip on her and pressed her harder against her mattress, making her cry out in pain. She could feel his rough jeans pressing against the soft fabric of her borrowed boxers and immediately felt conflicted twinges shoot up and down her body in response, causing all of her exposed skin to be covered in goosebumps. The man was a beast and her feminine parts couldn't help but appreciate that. For a split second she let her mind wander to a more intimate setting, imagining his hard body on top of hers, owning her in more ways than one. AJ quickly shook those thoughts away.

Get a grip, AJ! She yelled to herself. That's a big nope. Nope, nope, nope.

"I don't want you to have to learn the hard way, Aiden but I will teach you in any way you will choose to learn," He said. He didn't even raise his voice and his calm demeanor only made AJ more livid. How could he be so collected when she was ready to rampage like Godzilla on steroids? "And to answer your question, yes. I can touch you in any way I choose to because I own you," He said, enunciating the "own," and AJ could feel her face get hot with anger. Or maybe it was a flush of some kind of sexual tension. AJ chose the former. "I will hit you, kick you, slap you, fondle you, throw you, carry you, poke you, hold you and what ever else I choose to do because you are mine to touch in any way I see fit. The sooner you accept that, the happier you will be. The sooner you accept that, the more gentle I get to be." By this time, tears were threatening to fall from AJ's eyes and she angrily blinked them away. A trickle of fear ran down her spine, knowing that if he chose to in this moment, Leon could quite literally break her and she hated the fact that she was so weak. "With that in mind," He continued. "I will, and I promise you this, try my best to only touch you with your permission," AJ snorted and Leon tightened his grip again effectively shutting her up. "I will try to only touch you when you want my touch but so help me, Aiden, I will punish you with no remorse if you earn it." He said before he released her and yanked her upright to her feet. She gasped at the sudden movement and almost lost her footing but Leon's grip on her kept her up. He then just as quickly cupped her face in his hands and held her firmly, yet gently as if he were holding a baby bird. Their eyes locked again, so opposite yet so drawn together. "Do you believe me?" He asked, rubbing her cheeks with his thumbs. AJ choked back a sob and wanted nothing more than to look away from him but despite his obvious power and what he called ownership over her, she couldn't help but nod her head a little.

"Yes..." Her voice was barely audible but it held truth. AJ did believe him, she just didn't like it. He had had plenty of opportunities to hurt her since she came into his control and he always chose to stay calm. That's not to say that there had to be some buttons AJ hadn't pushed yet.

Leon nodded and released her head only to grip onto the arm he had just twisted. He held it softly, rubbing her wrist, forearm and shoulder with great care. AJ was confused but she couldn't argue that it didn't feel good. At least it wasn't a beating. In this moment, she had given up fighting. For now.

"Get dressed. Penny was nice enough to lend an outfit for the day. We'll grab a quick breakfast then head out to shop. I'll explain the rules for our little outing on the way." Leon said and AJ rolled her eyes before she pulled her arm away from him. He let her pull away and looked at her expectantly. She just raised her eyebrows at him.

"Do I need to shoo you away or what?" AJ asked and Leon let out a small chuckle, as he nodded to the bathroom.

"Do your thing in there. My intention was to take you down to the kitchen when you were done." Right. Door lock. With a sigh, AJ grabbed the clothes from her bed and marched to her bathroom, closing the door with a little more force than necessary. Once safely hidden from his hot gaze, AJ took a moment to collect herself. Slow deep breaths blew from her mouth, her eyes closed and her head tilted back against the door. That man was nothing but a roller coaster of emotions. Anger, annoyance, frustration, hate and...sexual tension?

What the hell is wrong with me? She asked herself, feeling defeated.

AJ quickly shook off the remaining unwanted heat from her body before she shed the baggy sleep wear. The pile of clothes consisted of jeans, flip flops and a white spaghetti strap with a sheer white cover sewn in. AJ agreed with Penny's silent message that borrowed panties were gross but the fact that there was no bra was disheartening, especially since the shirt was white. But she couldn't deny that a bra in Penny's petite size wouldn't fit AJ's fuller frame anyway. Even Kelly was petite compared to AJ. They were definitely related. But AJ was sure that Penny did what she could...unless she was intentionally teasing her. In that case, she was a brat.

With no other options, AJ quickly dressed. The jeans were a little tight over AJ's hips but with some clever wiggling, fake promises to God and some butter-related grumbling, she managed to get them up and buttoned. The shirt was snug over her bust and hugged her midsection like a boa constrictor. AJ actually liked the way it looked. If only anyone but Leon was out there to see it, she'd be happy. Her only other complaint was that her nipples very clearly poked from the fabric and AJ wasn't even cold. A nightmare was approaching, she just knew it. With a defeated sigh, she brushed her hair and teeth and applied some moisturizer and fresh deodorant that Penny so kindly provided her. With nothing else to do, AJ took a deep breath and as slowly as she could even partially justify, went to the door.

When she stepped out of the bathroom, Leon looked over and seemed to tense as his eyes fell on the casually dressed AJ. A pair of tight jeans and an equally tight shirt seemed to do more for the guy than a lingerie outfit and the look didn't go unnoticed by AJ. She made an effort to look anywhere but at him until a few, long and uncomfortable moments passed. She held her hands out questioningly.

"What?" She finally asked and the sound of her firm voice seemed to smack him back into reality. His dazed look turned into a mischievous one and AJ immediately missed the former. With a coy smile, he walked towards her but this time AJ stood her ground as their gazes locked once again. However, AJ couldn't stop her heart from pounding so hard that she was sure Leon would see her chest pulsing. At first, she thought he was only trying to get a closer look until he reached up and lightly, almost playfully, pinched her left nipple and softly pulled it before just as quickly releasing it. AJ squealed and jumped back, immediately ignoring the tingling sensation between her legs and fixing Leon with a death glare. She covered her breasts with her hands and stepped away from him defensively. "What the fuck, Leon?!" She cried and Leon actually laughed. More than a chuckle and it was almost musical. "These things poke out enough without being pulled on, you pervert!" She yelled again, pressing her palms against her nipples to try and calm them down. Her right nipple even responded, as if it were jealous of the slight attention the other one received. Leon tried to recover but it took him a moment. By the time he was getting his breath back, AJ was so done with his shit for the day. She would've left the room if she weren't locked in it with him.

"I'm sorry," He said, waving his hand dismissively as his laugh died down to a fading chuckle. "I just couldn't help it, they poke through that shirt so perfectly." He weakly argued and AJ narrowed her eyes at him, her hands still on her chest.

"Can we just go get some food, please?" She asked through gritted teeth. Leon nodded silently, afraid any words he tried to speak would morph into another laugh. He gestured her to follow before he swiftly typed in the super secret door code and opened the door for her. He let her lead as they walked down the hall then down the stairs. As they approached the opening to the kitchen, AJ could hear Kelly humming as she moved some pans around and tidied up the kitchen. When she looked in, she saw Kelly wiping the island counter and Carter sitting on one of the stools, holding his breakfast plate up as she wiped the counter under it. The visual was kinda cute. Carter set his plate down and continued eating his french toast just as Kelly looked up, noticing the two new additions. Instead of a smile though, she raised her eyebrows in confusion.

"Uh, good morning..." Kelly said. AJ was confused until Leon leaned down to whisper in AJ's ear.

"You can put your hands down now." He said and AJ looked to see that she was still holding her breasts protectively.

"Oh!" She squealed and quickly shot her hands down, making the other three laugh. AJ's face turned red hot and Kelly just happily shook her head as she gestured for AJ to come into the kitchen.
