"fuck, what have I gotten myself into this time?" she thought as she realised she was on her knees, blindfolded and had no idea where she was or who she was with. All she could feel was the icy cold draft that was harshly brushing over her skin, raising goosebumps and almost stinging.
"Don't be afraid" she felt the whisper in her ear almost as much as she heard it.
"Your time will come little one, and you'll shine just as I've always known you would"
She inhales sharply as she feels one calloused finger brush over her nipple, feeling it swell and grow harder as he lazily strokes it, then pinches sharply. She bites down on the tip of her tongue to stop the whimper from escaping, refusing to give this apparent stranger anything.
"Who are you?" her voice nearly melts over him as she speaks, the dusky tones not revealing even a hint of fear or trepidation.
"I will break you when I get out of this and ruin you"
"You know me, I've been here all of your life" he says as he taps softly over her heart "calling for me, begging me to come and release you from this small life"
She goes silent, thinking now, breathing in deeply to find every scent, listening for every background noise, every recognisable tone to his voice. She tried to work her wrists free of the rope, but realised that with every twist, turn or tug, the noose around her neck tightened slightly.
"Open your mouth kitten"
"Make me fucker"
As soon as she raised her voice she felt the sharp sting of his palm as he slapped her, two fingers pinching her nose to force her mouth opened as the ball gag was shoved in, and then buckled behind her head.
"Now these are the rules, until you can figure out who I am and say my name, you will do as I say. If you don't do as I say, this will be a somewhat less than pleasurable experience for you. However, if you're a good girl..." His voice trailed off, leaving so much unsaid to swirl around her mind. Should she just do what he wanted, gather as much information and try to identify him as quickly as possible, or should she turn it into a fight for her freedom and her life, making sure that she didn't give in.
"Rule 1 Do not ever raise your voice, either in fear or ecstasy"
"Rule 2 When you are permitted to speak again, you will address me as Master"
"Rule 3 You are only mine for as long as I wish you to be, unless you can name me"
"You will follow these rules and each time you do something exactly as instructed, you will be allowed to remove a restraint. Once all of the restraints are removed, you will be rewarded with food. Do you understand?"
She nodded her head slowly, wondering if she could play this dangerous game long enough to escape, or even long enough to name him. Once more, he brushes his finger lazily over her nipple, forcing a soft whimper from her lips before whispering
"kitten this is something you've wanted for so long, please let me show you"
2 hours later, shivering violently, her thighs aching from kneeling for so long and her back almost numb, he came over and picked her up. Her mind only vaguely registered enough to inhale once again deeply, trying to weave through the myriad of smells swirling around her, trying to work out what was coming from him and what was coming from their surrounds. Sandalwood, her breath caught slightly as she realised his skin smelled of her favourite scent.
"How do I know him but I'm unable to recognise him?" kept screaming through her mind as he carried her a dozen paces and laid her gently on a soft couch. Her body giving into fatigue she falls into a deep sleep as she feels his hands massaging down her thighs.
She wakes up slowly, unsure how long she slept, taking a few seconds to allow her situation to flow through her, imagining the worst possible result, and considering if she was still capable of playing his game. Did she have any more information for her brain to work through? What could she smell and hear? What could she feel on her skin right now? Sandalwood, apple pie and leather...clues to who he is, but also not enough to know who he is. She thought about that for a moment, wondered how her body recognised his touch and responded, but she didn't recognise him. Unable to stay in the one position for longer, she rolled to her side, revealing her wakeful state.
