“Master, I need to use the bathroom.”

Caden nodded. “I’ll carry you.”

“I know,” she said and grinned.

Chapter Nineteen

Bella was ready to go home. She didn’t like how cold the hospital felt. If Caden hadn’t been there with her the whole time, she would have lost it.

Caden’s partners and their subs came to visit. They brought the best cheeseburgers and strawberry shakes that she loved. She felt better. Her friends always made things fun, and she found herself laughing until her side started to hurt.

“Girls, I think Bella has had enough, and you’ll see her tomorrow,” Macy said.

The girls hugged her. She was sad to see them go, but she was getting tired and needed a nap. The door closed behind them.

Caden chuckled. “You’ll see them soon, Little Sub.”

“I know. They just make the time go fast.”

She watched her dom walk to the window and close the blinds, which made the room dark enough for her to sleep. He lowered the bed so she lay flat and then covered her up.

He pressed a kiss to her forehead. “Sleep. I’ll be right here.”

She smiled. “I know, Master.”

He rolled his eyes. “Your teasing tells me you’re feeling much better.”

“I’m just tired,” she said.

“It’s because of the blood loss. You’ll be tired for a few more days.”

Bella nodded and closed her eyes.

“I’ll get you more water,” he said and walked into the bathroom.

Bella could feel herself falling asleep until the door opened again and let in a man.

“Ahh, there’s my slutty sister.”

She was shocked to see her brother, but she wasn’t afraid because she knew Caden was feet away and would take care of it. Her brother assumed no one was in the room because everything was dark.

“Randy, what are you doing here?”

God, he looked even worse than the last time she saw him.

“I had to come see my weak cunt of a sister. Did you really think I’d let you go?”

Bella gripped the blanket. “You don’t have a choice, Randy. I’ll no longer take care of you or the take your abuse.”

He came to stand on the side of the bed with his back to the bathroom. “Oh, but Sister, you’ll do exactly what I tell you to.”

“You can’t make me do anything.” She tried to stay calm and not raise her voice. “I stay at the club and rarely leave. Plus, I never go out alone.”

“But I can get to you, cunt. How do you think you ended up here?” Randy sneered.

“What are you talking about?”

“I needed to get to you, so I had a buddy go to the club and hurt you enough to be put in the hospital. You see, no matter where you go or how hard you try to get away from me, it won’t happen.”
