She was sitting at the bar, dressed exactly as he had instructed. He stopped at the entrance to admire her long, glamorous limbs and the elegant curve where her neck became her shoulders. Stepping forward, walking to meet her and congratulate her for being early for their meeting, he noticed that the stranger sitting next to her was leaning in to whisper in her ear, placing a hand on her shoulder. He stopped in his tracks, watching the stranger place his grubby hands on what was rightfully his.
Repressing the urge to put a glass into the stranger's eye, he approached the pair as they laughed at a joke he was not privy to. When she saw him her smile disappeared, guilt and apprehension behind her eyes.
"Mind if I interrupt?" he asked. It was an order, not a question. She jerked her shoulder away from the stranger's hand and averted her eyes. The stranger assessed him and looked to her for guidance. Her eyes were staring, unwavering, at the floor.
He was curt and petulant with the stranger, making it clear that it was time to leave. The muscles in his jaw tensed momentarily while the stranger considered the situation. After a moment's hesitation, the stranger said his goodbye and retreated, tail firmly between his legs.
With the stranger gone, he turned his attention to her.
"Who was that?"
"Just some guy, he bought me a drink." She responded, not daring to raise her eyes.
"Just some guy, he bought me a drink, Sir." he corrected, speaking through gritted teeth.
"Yes, Sir, I'm sorry." She hurredly responded, the words tumbling out of her mouth.
"Not yet you aren't, but you will be."
She looked up at him, taking deep steadying breaths. Her hand trembled a little as she reached for the drink the stranger had paid for. He noticed it and approved.
The evening proceeded without incident, though he stayed cordial with her to keep her apprehensive while he devised her punishment. They had drinks with friends who were unaware of the invisible power struggle that was taking place across the table. He kept her eyes on her across the table their group sat around, never letting her forget that her time was coming. The hours bled into each other and before long the night was winding down.
"Time to go, I think." He said to her. She agreed, as was proper, and the pair said their goodbyes to their oblivious friends. He led her to the door and stepped to the side, letting her walk through first. She smiled at him for the first time that evening. It was a small gesture to lull her into a false sense of security.
The streets were mostly empty as they walked in silence and, as they walked past the entrance to an alleyway, he made his move. He grabbed her and pulled her into the darkness. She put up her token struggle, as she always did, but they both knew it was futile. When they were far enough into the shadows that he was confident they would not be disturbed he pushed her, face first, up against the wall and secured her wrists in an iron grip.
Holding her hands behind her back, pressing her face hard into the cold brick, he roughly pulled her underwear down and kicked her legs apart, whispering that she should have known better than to get him angry.
"You shouldn't have done that," he repeated, quietly yet firmly as she heard his belt jingle loose and the familiar sound of his fly being lowered. Her legs began to shake with anticipation, her breathing getting faster into the coarse brick wall her face was pressed against.
