Seconds stretched too long.
Then—
Unknown Number: You were such a good girl for me today, weren’t you?
A whimper tore from my throat.
Unknown Number: You’re finally ready to beg?
I clenched my phone too tight, humiliated by how wet I was just from reading the words.
I should fight this.
I should turn my phone off again.
Instead, I swallowed my pride and typed?—
Me: I can’t—I can’t take this. Please, I need you.
Unknown Number: Mmm. Do you?
I hated him.
I hated how much I wanted him.
Me: Come take care of me.
The seconds ticked by too slow.
And then?—
Unknown Number: Good girl.
I exhaled sharply, relief curling through me.
Finally.
But then—nothing.
No I’m on my way.
No Be there soon.
Just silence.
Oh, God.
I stared at my screen, my chest tightening.
Then my phone buzzed again.
Unknown Number: You’ll wait for me, won’t you, sweetheart?
The belt hummed.
Low. Gentle. Cruel.
I gasped, my hips jerking against the mattress as the vibration curled right where I needed it.
