“Did Kuroi tell you to do whatever I said?”

“Yes, sir. I am to do anything you tell me.”

“What is our safe word?”

“Cherries.”

“Stand up,” he ordered.

I did. Meeting his eyes, I found a glimmer in them that I had never seen before. I wasn’t sure what to think. I just knew I wanted more of it.

“Where’s your phone?”

“My phone?” I asked caught off guard.

“Or, Kuroi’s phone. Where’s that?”

“It’s…” I looked back at the guest bedroom wondering if I had left it in my pants pocket. “… In there.”

“Get it.”

Confused where he was going with this, I did what I was told. Taking small steps like the priests did in old kung fu movies, I retrieved my phone and returned. Dante scanned the room.

“Prop it up on the kitchen island. Vertically,” he directed.

Following his instructions, I leaned it against the fruit basket getting excited that he wanted to record this.

“Now, bend over so your face fills the screen.”

“What?”

“What was that?” Dante asked angered.

“What, sir?”

He calmed.

“You heard me.” He repeated it slowly. “Bend over so that your face fills the screen.”

I stared at Dante not sure what was going on. My beating heart slammed against my chest. Terror creeped into my thoughts, but I did as he said.

With my forearms flat on the counter and my stomach pressed against the edge, my cloak parted revealing my ass. Stepping behind me, he lightly brushed the leather against my naked skin. I thought he was about to let loose when he said,

“Now, facetime your sister,” he said in a low, dark voice.

I lay shocked. He couldn’t be serious. I wasn’t Kuroi. I was Shiro. And Yuki didn’t know anything about this side of me. She was naïve and innocent. I couldn’t call her like this.

“I said call Kuroi’s sister! You know the number, right?”

“Yes, sir,” I replied embarrassed for Shiro.

“Kuroi told you to do whatever I told you to, didn’t he?”

“Yes, sir.”

“Then do as I say and call Yuki now.”

I didn’t know what was going on, but I did it. I reached forward, called Yuki and prayed that she didn’t answer.
