“Do you think that the rules do not apply to you?”

“It’s not a big deal,” I say with an attitude. He growls in response to my sass. I’d like to say I don’t want to be punished by him, but I do. I so do.

“Annie, what is my rule about my subs degrading themselves?” he asks as he stares me down.

“That they will be ruthlessly fucked as a reminder that the flaws they see are a figment of their imagination and that self-degradation has consequences,” she says.

“What happened the last time you said something bad about yourself?” he asks her.

“You bent me over our kitchen island and fucked me so hard that you made me call my safe word,” she says.

“Everyone out except for Max and Rowan,” he says simply, and my eyes go wide.

“No. No. No. I’m sorry I..” Theo cuts me off by placing his hand over my mouth and I whimper in response. I am way more excited about this than I anticipated.

“Remember, eight-thirty in front of the first courtroom,” Emma says to Max as she hugs him.

Everyone leaves the room. Even Max and Rowan watch from a distance. I look to them, pleading for their help to get me out of this situation. This prompts them to walk over to us, but I know it’s not to help me.

“Understand that I wouldn’t have given you the courtesy of making anyone leave,” Max tells me.

“You have to stop saying these things about yourself, so let this be a reminder of what happens when you disparage yourself,” Rowan says.

Theo uncovers my mouth and I gasp when he grabs the back of my neck to push me toward the table I usually get strapped to. He bends me over the edge and places my hands so that I am grabbing the other side.

“Do not move your hands until I tell you otherwise,” Theo orders.

“Okay,” I say. He swats my ass and I yelp. “Yes, sir. I’m sorry.”

Theo pulls my dress up to my waist and gives me little warning before slamming into my pussy. I yell out a breathy moan and grip the table as he starts to fuck me. Each of those bars is torturing me as they perfectly stroke my insides.

“Fuck, fuck, fuck. Oh God. You’re too deep,” I cry out as he ferociously pounds into me. He pushes into me so deeply that it makes my belly ache. Tears come to myeyes as the orgasm I get thrown into steals the oxygen from my lungs. I come so hard that I can’t make a sound except for tiny whimpers when he slams his cock against my cervix repeatedly.

“Little girls who treat themselves like they belong on the street get fucked like a whore,” he growls as tears fall down my face and to the table. I shouldn’t love my punishment as much as I do, but holy fuck these men have magic cocks. They all could turn me inside out and I would willingly submit for it. “Is my little slut enjoying her punishment?” he asks.

“Yes,” I nearly yell as another orgasm washes over me. “Oh, Theo. Oh, my God.”

Hearing me moan out his name sends him into his own orgasm. He thrusts into me with everything he has, making me scream out the remainder of my pleasure, as he drains himself inside of me. He leans against me for a moment to catch his breath before pulling me up to face him. This is when I realize I am crying for real. Theo ignores my tears, grabs my face, and pulls me closer. “I do not ever want to hear you say anything bad about yourself again. Do you understand me, Anika?” he asks at a low rumble.

“Yes sir,” I sniffle.

“Go get cleaned up and come back to me, please,” he says with a much softer tone as he steps away from me. I do as I’m told and go to the bathroom to clean up. When I come out, I’m still crying. He wraps his arms around me the second I step out and I fall apart. “Did I hurt you?” he asks softly.

“No,” I say through my tears.

“Then why are you crying?” he asks as he lifts my chin to look at me.

“I don’t know,” I say, sniffing back tears.

“Do you really believe the bad things you say about yourself?” he asks, and I nod. “Why?”

“Because it’s all I’ve ever known,” I say after calming down.

“You are so much more than what they’ve made you believe, Anika. You know this, right?”

“I’m starting to,” I say as I pull away from him and wipe my face. Max and Rowan join us. I turn to hug Rowan first. He kisses the top of my head before Max hugs me next.

“You need to be kinder to yourself, Nika. Let this be a reminder because next time it’ll be me and I will fuck that tight little ass until you can’t sit down without remembering how I made you beg for mercy,” Max says and I nod.
