idea to get involved with her, but found himself wanting to talk to

 

her. “You can’t see to eat if I stay,” he said. She fidgeted her hands in

 

her lap. “Do you still want me to stay? I will have to feed you.”

 

“Yes sir.” Liam took the fork and stabbed a piece of steak.

 

“Open up, its steak.” Rosa had pre-cut the steak at Liam’s

 

request, not wanting to provide her with a weapon. He gave her a

 

few bites of steak, some green beans and then a mouthful of mash

 

potatoes. She gasped when he put the fork in her mouth. “I’m sorry,

 

that was too much.”
When she was done eating, he sat and watched her wipe her

 

face with a napkin. He reached out and helped her wipe her cheek.

 

His need to hear her talk overwhelmed him.

 

“So tell me about yourself, Norah.” He was just as shocked at

 

his question as she was. “What would you like to know?” she asked

 

in a very low voice. “Where are you from?” he already knew she

 

lived in Las Vegas and that was where her license was from, but he

 

wanted to see how she would answer him.

 

“Las Vegas.”

 

“You were born there?” he asked.

 

“Yes sir.” He handed her the bottle of water she was grabbing

 

for.

 

“How old are you?” again he knew the answer, but he

 

wanted to see if she would lie to him.

 

“22.”

 

“Tell me about your family?” he had seen pictures of a young

 

girl in her wallet, and picture of a dog.
“What would you like to know?” he knew she was trying to

 

answer him in the most efficient way, but her answering a question

 

with a question was annoying him. “Parents? Siblings? Pets?” he

 

knew his voice sounded annoyed when he spoke.

 

“My Father left before I was born, and my Mother was a Las

 

Vegas show girl.” She stopped. Was she going to explain the young

 

girl in her wallet, or was he going to have to get ugly for her to

 

answer him. He waited and started tapping the fork on the table. He

 

didn’t want to hurt her. He knew she didn’t know not answering a

 

question with the complete truth was something he would punish

 

his other subs for. But he could not tolerate disobedience from his

 

women. He cringed at the thought of her being his woman. But if

 

what Tom said was true, she was going to be with him for a while,

 

until he could figure out what to do with her. So she might as well

 

start thinking of him as her master, and he think of her as his. He

 

exhaled deeply to show his impatience and she spoke again.
“I have two sisters, twins, identical. They are younger than

 

me, still in high school. And I have,” she paused and corrected

 

herself, “Had a dog. A little Yorkie/Maltese mix, named Sammy.” He

 

could see the tears running down her face. For a moment he felt bad

 

about making her cry, but that quickly faded and he felt dominance,

 

ownership, and cruel. Thinking about her family upset her. Maybe

 

that was why she didn’t want to answer him. But he pressed on

 

anyway.

 

“If they are younger than you, then how can you say your

 

Dad left before you were born?” he asked feeling like an ass as soon

 

as he said it, of course they didn’t have the same father.

 

“We have different fathers, sir. My Mother was married to

 

their Father.” She sniffed her nose and wiped her tears with her

 

hands. Her tears were giving him a weird feeling. A feeling he wasn’t

 

comfortable with himself. He didn’t feel sad for her, but empowered

 

by her.
“So tell me about your Step Father, then. Why would he let

 

his beautiful step daughter visit Paris all alone?” He tilted his head to

 

the side and shifted his leg over his knee.

 

“The twins Father left just after they were born. The man that

 

lives with my Mother is just her boyfriend, a sugar daddy really.”

 

Liam laughed. He thought it was ironic that here she was, with him, a

 

very rich man, willing and able to give her whatever she wanted, and

 

her Mother had been through three men, probably more to find her

 

a sugar daddy. He often spoiled his subs, buying them lavish gifts,

 

cars, jewelry, clothes, paid their rent even. If this relationship was

 

different, Norah could have him as her own personal sugar daddy

 

and she didn’t even try.

 

“They just let you go off to Paris without them. I mean, I

 

realize you’re an adult, but come on, it’s a dangerous world out

 

there,” chuckling again at the predicament she has found herself in.

 

He was amazed that in this moment, he was actually being an ass to

 

her.
Mocking her situation, forcing her to talk about her family,

 

people she would probably never see again, and enjoying watching

 

her cry. “My Mom’s boyfriend paid for me and a friend to travel

 

Europe for the whole summer. But Tiffany got engaged just before

 

we were supposed to leave, so she decided to stay home.” More

 

tears fell down her face.

 

“So the sugar daddy paid for you travel Europe huh? How

 

long were you in Europe before this happen?” he asked not wanting

 

to say the word kidnapped.

 

“One week.”

 

“Did you contact your family when you got here?”

 

“I emailed my sister Lorraine to tell her I had arrived safely

 

and I would email or call her again soon.”

 

“But you haven’t of course,” she shook her head. “I’m asking

 

because you have been with me for six days now, and you were

 

taken over a month ago. The last contact with your family was over a

 

month ago, and yet,” he paused not sure if he really wanted to upset
her more. “There is no one looking for you, little one.” He scooted

 

his chair closer to her and watched the reaction on her face. She

 

didn’t say anything. “Does your family care about you, like you

 

obviously care about them?” She still didn’t answer, but he could see

 

more tears running down her face. “Maybe Mommy is too

 

preoccupied with her sugar daddy, and the sisters too busy getting

 

nailed by their boyfriends to care about if little Norah is okay?”

 

“Don’t talk about my sisters!” she snapped. He chuckled at

 

what she probably perceived as authority in her voice.

 

“The sisters are off limits huh? But Mommy and Daddy are

 

fair game, is that the way it is, little one?” He stood and walked

 

around the table.

 

“He isn’t my Father. He just wanted me out of the way. My

 

Mother and sisters are traveling right now, looking at colleges.” She

 

was talking through her teeth, he knew he had upset her, but now

 

she was pissed. He walked behind her and leaned into her ear.
“Don’t forget who is in charge here, little one.” He

 

straightened up and started to walk out. She could sense he was

 

moving away from her.

 

“Wait!” she gasped. “Don’t go,” she pleaded. He turned and

 

looked at her.

 

“You would rather I stay here and continue to make you cry?”

 

he laughed almost kicking himself in the ass for making her cry and

 

liking it. Was he becoming like Will? He didn’t want to enjoy her

 

pain, but he did. He usually loved inflicting pain on his willing subs,

 

and watching them cry was a turn on. He didn’t want to feel that

 

way for her, he didn’t want to enjoy making her cry because he

 

didn’t know what he might do next.

 

“No, I would rather you just stayed,” she whispered. He

 

pulled the cart away from her abruptly and walked out of her room.

 

He made sure he slammed the door behind him.
He didn’t know why he was angry. He was the one being

 

mean to her, he was the one making her cry. She was answering his

 

questions and being respectful. She was doing exactly what he told

 

her to do even though it was painful. But somehow even though he

 

had ignored her most of the week, and now in their one interaction

 

that was longer than the few minutes it took him to leave her food,

 

when he was mean to her, and forced her to cry; she still wanted his

 

company. He began to understand the stages of Will’s theory. He

 

hadn’t been forceful enough with her in the fear and respect stage.

 

She got the respect, but the fear wasn’t clear to her. She wanted to

 

move to the comforting. Deep down, Liam did too. But he knew if he

 

tried to comfort her now, he might end up doing something he

 

regretted.

 

The next night Liam decided to give her a little reward. He felt

 

bad for making her cry and she had really done nothing to deserve it.

 

He felt even worse for taking pleasure in her crying.
“I would like to give you a reward, little one. You have been

 

very good, exceptional. I know since you have been here I haven’t

 

allowed you to take a bath, only showers, and I did not provide you

 

with a razor of any kind.” He paused. “So tonight, I would like to give

 

you a bath.” He could hear her breathing pick up. He knew she was

 

worried about what ‘give you a bath’ probably really meant.

 

Although he hadn’t seen her naked, yet, Liam had used restraint

 

before. It wasn’t like he was walking hard on, always looking for a

 

hole. He knew he could wash her, shave her legs and keep his hands

 

from wandering.

 

“Don’t worry, little one.” He touched her hand. “I’ll be a very

 

good boy.” He knew his comment didn’t relax her mind at all. He got

 

up and started the bath water. Norah sat alone and didn’t move. He

 

came in behind her and forced her to stand up.

 

“I would like for you to test the water.” He took her by her

 

hand and led her in the bathroom. He sat her in a chair beside the

 

tub and moved her hand under the faucet.
She quickly snatched it away. “Too hot?” he asked. She

 

nodded. “Answer me please,” he huffed.

 

“Yes sir.” He adjusted the water, and moved her hand under

 

it again. “That’s good,” she said. He plugged it in, and let it run.

 

While the bath filled up he watched her fidget in the chair. When it

 

hit an acceptable depth, he turned off the faucet.

 

“Do you want me to undress you, or do you want to do it

 

yourself?” he asked.

 

“Can I take off my mask?” she asked. Before he could say

 

anything, she spoke again. “Please, I can’t see anything. I hate not

 

knowing where I am. I feel like I’m not in control.” He leaned in close

 

to her. “You’re not,” he breathed in her ear. She was wearing a

 

summer dress so it would be easy to undress her. He turned her

 

around and unzipped it, pulling the straps off her shoulders and

 

letting it drop to the floor.
All she had on was a pair of white underwear under the

 

dress. He ran his hands over her shoulders and down her arms. Her

 

skin was so smooth and tan. He stopped at her hips and grasped her

 

panties. He heard her suck in a breath, and he did too. He pulled

 

them down her hips and knelt down so she could step out of them.

 

He stood back up and admired her backside. It looked just as smooth

 

and tan. He wanted to touch her so badly, but knew he couldn’t. He

 

took her hand and helped her step in the tub, keeping his eyes

 

closed. Liam wondered why he closed his eyes when she turned

 

around. Respect maybe? If this girl was going to be here with him, he

 

hoped intimacy would eventually happen. Only with her permission

 

of course, but Liam had every confidence in his skills to charm her.

 

So if he thought this relationship would probably end up as a sexual

 

one, why not look now? It wasn’t like she could even see if he was

 

looking at her or not. She sank down in the tub, and the bubbles

 

covered her body. She moved her nose like ‘I dream of Genie’, as

 

some of the suds hit her face.
“I guess I over did it on the bubbles huh?” he laughed. She

 

sneezed, then she actually laughed too. Catching herself, she

 

covered her mouth. “I’ll let you wash yourself, little one.” He handed

 

her a lofa. She ran it over her body and he watched. She used her

 

hands to wash her face, and ran her fingers under the mask. When

 

she had cleaned herself, generously, Liam stood up and went to get

 

the razor. “Prop your leg up on the side,” he instructed. He knelt

 

beside her and tried to get in a good position, but couldn’t. “You’re

 

going to have to stand up.” He helped her stand, and his pants got

 

tighter as he saw her wet, soapy body standing in front of him. The

 

suds slid down her body, and he couldn’t take his eyes from her. He

 

let her balance herself using his shoulder, and she propped her foot

 

on the side again. He tried to concentrate as he shaved her leg from
