Click hereShe stepped up to the bed beside me, prompting me to turn my head away from her. Then, I felt her lift my head with her hand and push a pillow beneath.
"I know it doesn't mean anything to you, but I truly am sorry about all of this," she added. I huffed in disbelief. Who the hell was she kidding? If she were actually sorry, she wouldn't be doing this! I remained silent as she exited the bedroom.
"Be back shortly," I heard her call from foyer. Moments later, I heard the front door to the suite open and close.
I let out a big sigh. My head was still reeling from trying to process everything that had happened over the last 20 minutes. I had no idea what to make of Brandy. She seemed like a completely different person than the woman I'd met in the woods. The sarcastic, bitchy, brash woman from few days ago now appeared to be calculated, reserved, and highly intelligent. But perhaps her most unnerving quality was her raw confidence. And in my experience of managing people, this confidence only came with individuals who knew exactly what they were doing...
There was obviously much more than met the eye when it came to Brandy. Between the cryptic phone call, her chilling stoicism, and now her civility, shown by propping my head up with a pillow, it was becoming increasingly difficult to sort out what kind of villain I was dealing with. As much as I despised and resented her for her heartless betrayal, she was a puzzle that I felt compelled to solve... What was her motivation? What were her plans for me? What type of "errand" was she running? The mystery of it all was making my head spin.
But first things first. Right now, I was naked, gagged, hooded, and tied spread-eagle to the bed. The puzzle of Brandy L. Michaels would have to wait. Because, as the kennel guard had explained to me earlier, there was nothing that security could do at this point to help. It was up to me to figure a way out of this mess. If Brandy was telling the truth, I only had a brief amount of time to execute my escape. However long that gave me was unclear. But the clock was ticking and the stakes had never been higher. I had to escape. The alternative was simply not an option that I was willing to consider...

Anonymousabout 5 years agoHowever would she really have been THAT stupid, as to take the collar off?
I know she’s new to the process and the rules of this whole thing but she saw just how ruthless they were in the woods. Nobody would be that fucking stupid. To be honest it actually made me feel nauseous, because whilst literally everyone else has signed up and know what to expect, she hasn’t. It doesn’t matter that she’s signed some papers, it wasn’t in her name.
Naturally it raises questions, is Brandy undercover and for who?
The MOST important factor has to be a safe word, there MUST be a way for a slave to safeword away from an activity AND from an owner, even if it does me a forfeiting some or all of their payment. In her place you can bet your fucking ass that I would do something to attract security to get out.
ZZchromosomeabout 5 years agoSaw that turnabout coming, she's been behaving like an lazy, impetuous idiot this whole time, she deserves it. Lazy, impetuous, and stupid.
nthusiasticabout 6 years agoI noticed & appreciated the change, southrook. Makes it much easier to find the favorite chapters to reread.
You spoiled us, with the first six chapters posting so close together. It's been over three weeks since the last. Not that I'm complaining, mind you; after all you can't rush perfection. Still ... (We're waiting ... 💤)
southrookabout 6 years agoAuthorThanks for the feedback! Nthusiastic- your comment from the last chapter was great as well and prompted me to edit each chapter to include titles. So thanks for that :)
The reason you haven’t seen the protagonist’s temperament soften yet is simple. This is only her third day at the kingdom. She’s got 3 full months. And up til now, her instincts (and luck) have served her pretty well. Continued success just isn’t a strong motivator for change. It’s not until disaster strikes that people realize their need for pragmatism.
The levelheadedness you’re looking for is coming. But given the protagonist’s personality and past, there just has to be the right motivation for it... I think she’ll find the next two chapters quite sobering ;)
nthusiasticabout 6 years agoAt some point, she's got to learn to stop assuming she knows what's going on & do some research, instead of just charging forward like a bull in a china shop. Naïveté has gotten her into one mess after another, while luck has gotten her back out. Too bad Brandy didn't leave her some reading material (hello, the rule book?). At least she'll get a chance to catch up on the sleep she missed while studying the night before.
Brandy must be an undercover agent, tasked with taking down "The Kingdom" and needs to make contact with her backup. Once she's done that I suspect she'll return to join forces with our trussed heroine. I wonder if Brandy will pretend to be the slave again since she knows how. "Jodi" wouldn't have a clue but can fake ownership with coaching from Brandy. Together, they'll be a great team.
