It skidded over the tender flesh of her labia, but she took that and then shifted back, trying to escape the pain in that miserable point because her Master ordered her to.
She sat back as far as she could, taking the pain of pressure right on her pubic bone then leaned forward to ease it, trying to hold herself up before her legs gave out again.
She slumped forward, trembling but exhaling quiet rasping breaths.
Her whole body shuddered, covered in sweat.
A haze clouded her mind, and she floated—out of this awful device, somewhere else, where all she felt was intense, ultimate pleasure.
When Zee finally freed her and gathered her in his arms, she whimpered, her body shaking with the aftershocks.
“Good girl, my dear heart.Remember, you will always obey.”
“Always, Master.”
“And I will always catch you.You’re my everything, Ella.I love you.”
“I love you too.”
He carried her over to the cozy couch beside the bar area, draped a fuzzy blanket around her and held her.
There was nothing she wouldn’t do to stay in his arms forever.
Now, Ella pushed herself up from the floor, even as something in her shoulder snapped.
She had to get out of here.
He told her to take care of his property and that’s exactly what she was going to do.

“Anything?”Hedidn’tturnaround at the sound of boots falling on his dining room floor.
He asked the question, even knowing the answer.
If they found Ella, shouts would erupt from the where Carter had set up a command centre as chairs scraped on the floor and the guys rushed to the front door.
Last night, when he and Gabe landed, he wanted to go search with River’s team, but Logan, Xander, and Ares had told him no.
He knew he’d be useless in the search but couldn’t stay inside so grabbed a flashlight and searched the back gardens.
Dax and Erik joined him later, keeping their distance as Zee furiously combed every inch of the massive yard.
Anger bitter and acidic in his mouth, heating his veins.
If he’d just installed video surveillance here, like River had suggested, maybe they would have found something.
If he had cleared this tangle of overgrowth and broken ground on a cottage, a kinky bed-and-breakfast like Ella wanted.
If he had just stayed home and stopped chasing dreams.
Zee heard the murmured voices of his friends, knew others had swapped places and his stomach turned with guilt.
He was being a selfish bastard, dragging his friends away from the real search to babysit him as he stalked his empty garden looking for a clue that wasn’t there.
Finally, Logan came into step with him and walked the last row of ground with him and clapped him on the shoulder.
Zee nearly stumbled at the touch.
