“What does he want from me?” she demands with her emotions bubbling over.

I shoot her anI think you knowlook. “Don’t be naïve, Ellie. It doesn’t become you. You know exactly what he wants.”Your obedience, your submission, your body.“You’ve been acquired as a sex slave.”

“Don’t use that word!” she screams with her head in her hands, tears bursting from her eyes. “I can’t do this. You have to let me go!” she sobs.

“Shhh, Ellie.” I wrap her in my arms and calm her. This is the part that’s going to kill me. Seeing her suffer. It’s a necessary evil. But I solemnly swear, I’ll never let her hurt alone. She’s one ofmygirls now. “You can and you will.”

“Why?” She cries into my shoulder.

“Because—” I pull away and look down at her with compassionate eyes. “Listen to me, Ellie. You need to trust Kayne. I know that might be hard, but he’s doing this for a reason.”

“How can I trust him?” she asks in turmoil. “He puts a collar on me and forces me to walk around naked. And soon . . .” She wipes her watery eyes. “Soon . . . I don’t know what’s going to happen.”

“The only thing I can tell you is things aren’t always as they seem.” It’s the only thing I say without giving anything away.

Ellie searches my eyes. “What does that mean?”

I merely shake my head. “Trust Kayne.”

I know. Easy for me to say.

“Enough talk, Ellie. It’s time to be strong. Lay on the table.” We need to get things moving.

“What are you going to do?” She sniffs.

I glare with a pseudo-annoyed expression. She can’t think I’m a total pushover. “Here’s your first lesson in submission. Don’t ask questions, don’t talk back, and do as you’re told.”

She frowns.

“Now go, or I’ll force you down and tie you to it.”

Her wide eyes tell me all I need to know. She’s buying my bullshit. Ellie lays on the table, naked with her hair still damp, clearly

beside herself. I’ll try to do this as quickly as possible. For both our sakes. “Pull your knees up and spread your legs. Put your hands over your head,” I order. She does as I instruct, panting nervously.

“Breathe, Ellie.”

“What are you going to do?” she asks again.

“Wax you.” I smear the warm, sticky wax all over her pubic hair, and she flinches. I haven’t done this in a long time, so I hope it’s just like riding a bike. For her sake. “Don’t move.” I continue to cover the applied wax with strips of cloth.

“Have you ever had a Brazilian before?” I attempt to distract her as I rip off the first strip.

“No!” she shrieks as the scalding pain burns her skin and tears run out of her eyes.

“First time for everything.” I rip off strip after strip, until she’s completely bare. Mm, I steal glances of her little pink clit peeking out of her smooth, puffy folds, restricting myself from soothing the irritated skin with my tongue.

Ellie would be a fun doll to play with, but I know Kayne would kill me if I broke the lock to that toy box.

I’ll behave.

For now.

“Aloe.” I show her the green blob on my fingers before I apply it to her sensitive skin. She’s so incredibly soft now. Kayne is going to lose his fucking mind.

“Up you go.” I take one of her hands and help her to stand. She’s a little wobbly on her feet.

But we’re not done yet.
