“She’s a survivor of human trafficking,” Cason whispered to him.

“What are you fucking saying?” she screamed.

“Sage, my name is Alex, and I’m here to help you.”

“Fuck off. I don’t need your help.”

“This isn’t like her at all,” Cason said. “Where’s all the blood from?”

“She dug her nails into her skin when I didn’t let her go out the window, and she’s cut herself on some of the things she’s been throwing.”

The other two men looked shocked.

“She knows you’re on the sixth floor,” Cason said.

Sebastian sighed and nodded.

“So, she tried to commit suicide?” Alex asked.

“Yes.” It felt like his throat was closing. He felt helpless and terrified, as he never had before. He pinched the bridge of his nose. “Fuck. I don’t know if she was just trying to get away from me or harm herself. What do I do? I’m partly to blame.”

“How?’ Cason asked.

“The other night, we were kissing, and I stopped because I didn’t know if she was ready for where it was headed. She took it to mean I was disgusted by her when that couldn’t be further from the truth.”

“Is she a little?” Alex asked.

“Yes. She’s my little. She just doesn’t know it yet.”

The other two men smiled.

“Littles are extremely sensitive. More so than the average woman,” Alex said.

The men nodded.

She continued to scream and found a few things to throw at them. She was getting so tired her aim was bad.

“The first thing we need to do is give her a sedative,” Alex said. “When we get her settled, we’ll make a game plan.”

“Sebastian, I think you should be the one to hold her while I give her a shot. Cason, I want you to help us make a line that will prevent her from running.”

Cason nodded. “I can do that.”

Alex set down his bag, got a syringe out, filled it with a drug, and then nodded. “Let’s do this.”

Sebastian headed toward her. He caught her when she turned to run. He wrapped his arms around her and held her tightly as she fought like her life depended on it.

Alex quickly gave her the shot and then stepped back. “That should take effect quickly.”

Within two minutes, she started to calm down, and then her body had no control, giving him the need to lift her in his arms. He cuddled her against his chest and kissed her forehead, ignoring the blood and sweat.

“Whatever this is, we’ll get through it, Sweetheart. You are not alone.”

“Let’s lay her down,” Alex said.

Cason walked ahead of them and had several towels stacked up. “I thought this would help for when you wash her off.”

“It will. Thank you.” Sebastian laid her down on it and covered her with a sheet for the moment.
