He brought in someone else.
I remember her from the first night.
Anxiety races through my blood. I have to blink back my tears.
“Talia,” Kade says, “Olivia has been a very good girl. I’d like you to comfort her.”
I watch Talia cautiously as she reaches out to me and gently places her hand over mine. My body tenses at her soft touch.
My heart races, and I look up at Kade. I don’t understand, but I don’t like this. I don’t know why he brought her in here, and I sure as shit don’t need her comforting me.
Talia takes my hands in hers and gently rubs circles on the backs. “It’s alright, Olivia. You’re doing so well.” It’s the first time I’ve heard Talia’s voice. It’s low and soft, but also soothing. “He’s so very proud of you.” My eyes reach hers and my brow furrows. I don’t like that she knows anything about us. Her eyes flash with fear as she takes in my expression, and her smooth motions falter.
Her lips part and then close, and she clears her throat before looking up to Kade. “I don’t know how, Master K.”
Master K. I remember how Kade said to call the other men sir. That calling them Master meant you wanted to be theirs. The memories of that night flash before my eyes. Those men who fucked her that night. Did she call them all Master? Anger slowly courses through my blood, at her and then at this situation. At Kade.
But mostly because I’m fucking jealous. She’s staring up at Kade, a man I’m trying to keep at bay, and she wants him. I know she does.
I’m fucked up in the head for being jealous, but I am.
I rip my hands away from hers and scoot back so that my back hits the wall behind me and I pull my legs into my chest.
He brought her in here to hurt me. That fucking bastard.
“Angel?” Kade says my pet name, but I ignore him. I can’t respond right now. I’ve worked so hard to be good. I was even going to suck him off! Tears prick my eyes. I was going to be his good slave, and he brought in another because why? I didn’t move fast enough for him?
“What’s wrong, Olivia?” Kade asks, but his voice is stern.
“Did I hurt you?” Talia asks with sincerity.
“Yes,” I croak out and harshly wipe at the unshed tears before they have a chance to show themselves. Try to be good. Earn your freedom. Somewhere these thoughts are in the back of my mind, but fuck them both is the voice that takes over.
“Why don’t you just take her if you want her?” I sneer at Kade. My eyes snap to his, and I instantly regret the decision.
His eyes narrow and heat with anger. Talia’s eyes go wide and she folds in on herself, bowing and lowering her head to the floor. She’s completely submitted.
My heart races as Kade’s hand whips down and grips my mouth. My heart beats frantically in my chest.
Stupid! Stupid! What the fuck is wrong with me? Fuck! My breathing falters.
“You will apologize to me and to Talia, or you will be punished.” Kade’s voice is low and threatening. He rips his hand away with such force that I nearly topple over.
“I’m sorry.” I’m quick to spit out the words as my palms smack against the concrete and I brace my body and move into a bow like Talia. “I'm sorry, Master K. I'm sorry, Talia.” I mimic her position as perfectly as I can.
Blood rushes in my ears as I watch Kade pace the room. His hand runs through his hair with frustration.
“I didn’t bring her in here for me. I brought her in here for you!”
I can hardly believe what he’s saying. What the fuck was he thinking? A long moment passes, and finally I hear Kade drag a chair across the room. The feet scratch against the concrete until he moves it directly between Talia and me.
“Talia, do you enjoy getting off?” Kade asks. My heart races faster. I’ll never forgive him if he touches her. Never.
“I do.” Talia’s answer is simple.
“Do you want to help me train angel?” he asks and quickly adds, “It would please me if you would.”
“I do, Master K.” Talia uses his name again, but the anger hardly registers this time. My mind races with possibilities.
