“No underwear needed, in case I want you to pleasure me.” He strokes my back gently. “Because we both know you want to make me happy, don’t you?”

“Yes, Daddy.” I nod submissively.

“Let’s go,” he says, motioning for me to go ahead. I hobble to the kitchen and take out a frying pan.

I cook scrambled eggs and make toast. I put it all on a tray, and shakily carry it to the dining room.

“Jocelyn!” Skylar says excitedly. “We haven’t seen you in so long.”

Richter stares at me cautiously and then looks at Daddy.

“Is she staying?” he asks.

“She’s staying. She’s a good girl.” He smiles at me. “Richter, help your mother with the food.”

He gets up obediently and comes to me, taking the tray from me and carrying it to the table.

“When we’re finished eating, Mommy and I are going to lie down for a little bit. You two can clean the dishes and pack them away.”

I know what he means by ‘lying down,’ and I want to cry.

I can’t take it anymore.

How does he do it?

The man is a fucking machine. There is no defeating him. There is no breaking the cycle.

“Jocelyn?” Daddy says. “Do you want to go first?”

I shake my head. “You always go first.”

He leads me straight to the bed, and I sit down.
