I want to thank all those who sent private and public comments about chapter 1. This was going to be a fairly straight forward story, but I loved some of the suggested directions for the story and changed course. The next chapters will be the culmination of your ideas and I hope you enjoy the results.
As always, the characters in this story are purely fictionalized and products of my wild imagination. The sex is between consenting adults over the age of 21. Thank you for reading, voting and as always comments are not just welcome, but encouraged.

Penny woke slowly becoming aware of her surroundings, but she refused to open her eyes. Her body was sore and achy as she slowly stretched beneath the sheets, but beneath her sore and aching muscles was a tingling and exhilaration. Her hands slowly began to caress her body reliving how it felt when Patrick pushed her beyond anything she ever thought existed. Her skin felt exceptionally sensitive as her hands roamed over taxed body.
Penny knew the moment she saw Patrick that he could take her places she had never dreamed of, but even her wildest dreams fell short of last night's reality. She had hoped that his hard body would be pressed against hers when she woke. She wanted to feel his hard body and muscles wrapped around her, letting her know that he was keeping her safe, warm and cherished. She wanted to feel his hard body softened by the downy hairs on his chest tickling her back as he wrapped her in his strong bulging arms. Alas she was alone in the bed.
Penny slowly let her eyes drift open looking around, hoping that he would still be in the room with her. Regrettably he wasn't there, but she knew he had business to take care of and keeping her safe was one she hoped he was handling right now. She knew he could dominate her, master her and do things to her she never imagined, but she felt safe and content with him.
It was a weird new feeling for her and she knew Patrick could be a hard cruel taskmaster. She knew he would tie her up, tease her unmercifully and push her physically and emotionally beyond anything she had ever experienced. However, in her heart she also knew he would never really hurt her and he was someone she could always count on. Her heart was beating wildly as she thought about Patrick and even though she knew she was in love with him, she was scared to tell him.
Penny slowly slid from the sheets and dreamily walked to the bathroom. Her mind was still in her dreamy fog as she mechanically used the toilet and started running a bath. As she was watching the hot water run into the bath the smell of coffee penetrated her stupor and she wandered out the bathroom to find its source. Her on top of a chest of drawers she found a small coffee maker full of black, steaming and aromatic liquid. Next to it was a tray of Danish, granola and energy bars.
She poured herself a cup of the hot steamy coffee then added some honey and creamer. She grabbed the Danish and her coffee before walking back to the bathroom. She nibbled on the Danish and sipped her coffee as she pensively watched the tub fill with water. As she polished off the Danish she reached over and turned off the water. She set her coffee on edge the tub and climbed into the hot therapeutic water. The moist heat soaked into her achy muscles, relaxing her and letting her sink deeper into her dreamy state.
Penny suddenly snapped out of her contemplative state as she realized the water was cold. She didn't know how long she'd been there, but she quickly washed her body and hair and jumped out of the now cold water. As she toweled off she remembered she still didn't have any clothing and wondered what she should do. She thought back to yesterday and how the slave presentation position had pleased her master. It had incited him to take her, use her and give her a night filled with everything she ever dreamed of.
She sat cross legged on the floor in front of the TV and turned on the BDSM channel. She started watching hoping to find other ways to please her master and turn him into the wild sexual beast that she loved so much. It suddenly dawned on her the game they were playing, he was the sexual predator stalking his prey and she was his willing prey staked out for his consumption. The very thought of him preying on her willing body sent chills running through her belly.

Patrick was sitting in his Rogue outside the auction club waiting for the proper time to try and abscond with their auction records. He had been day dreaming about Penny and her silky succulent body writhing in ecstasy all day. In his current situation Penny was dangerous for him and he couldn't stop thinking about her. Her body drove him crazy but her eyes ripped deep into his soul. When she looked at him the bottomless love in her eyes filled his heart to overflowing and he ached to have her in his arms. He shook his head to clear it and get his mind back on the task at hand.
He actually already had many of their records, but what he was lacking was the decryption key so he could decipher their records. Dr. Swartz's team had arrived a few minutes earlier and was in the process of rounding up all the employees for interrogation. They brought everyone into the large common room and began the interrogations; this gave Patrick the opportunity to sneak into the back office through the back door unobserved.
He didn't have time to browse through the records so he took all the laptops and desktop towers he could find. He also included any external hard drives, CDs or DVDs and then stuffed everything including the paper records into a duffel bag. He hauled everything out to his car and put it in his trunk, then watched the interrogations on the web cams he had set up. He had been watching for a few minutes when the most incredible bonus appeared.
A Mercedes limo pulled up outside the auction house and Dr. Swartz himself got out of the vehicle. Patrick made doubly sure that everything is being recorded. Dr. Swartz swaggered into the building surrounded by his bodyguards and immediately began to direct the interrogations. He decided that he needed to make an example of the few people and when he was not satisfied with their answers he would draw his finger across his neck in a cutting motion. Immediately thereafter these people were dispatched.
Patrick watched this in sick fascination, he knew he was getting lots of evidence to take down Dr. Swartz however; people were dying while he was doing it. Suddenly he kicked himself, picked up his cell phone and called his contacts in the FBI. If they could get here in time they can actually catch him in the act of directing criminal activities. He hoped he hadn't messed up but he continued to record all of Dr. Swartz movements.
About five minutes after Patrick called the FBI, Dr. Swartz received phone call and immediately thereafter left the premises in his Mercedes. Patrick knew he had received a tip from somebody in the FBI that the raid was coming down. The recorders continued to run and he decided to follow Dr. Swartz and he stayed several blocks behind as he followed him to the photographer's studio. Patrick knew the photographer was scheduled to arrive home this evening, but his arrival was still several of hours away.
Patrick turned around and went back to the auction club and when he arrived at the place was swarming with flashing lights and crime scene tape marking the perimeter. He asked the cop at the tape if he could get a hold of Special Agent O'Connor. The cop ask for his name and then spoke into his radio and nodded to him that O'Connor was on his way.
Patrick told O'Connor of the hangar and the photographer's studio in addition to the auction house, but he also told him that he had a mole in his organization. He told him that five minutes after his call, Dr. Swartz had received a call and then immediately left. He told O'Connor he knew where Dr. Swartz would be for the next few hours and that was the photography studio. Patrick told him that within a couple of hours the photographer will be home and the interrogations would begin again. He suggested that Agent O'Connor find several trustworthy people and meet him at the studio in a couple of hours. This time they might catch Dr. Swartz in the act.
Before Patrick left he transferred the duffel bag of records to O'Connor's car. Then he drove back to the photographer's studio and waited for the photographer to arrive. The WebCams showed Dr. Swartz sitting patiently in the photographer's recliner waiting. Patrick was trying to concentrate on watching the slavers, but Penny kept intruding his thoughts and he found himself daydreaming again about last night.
From the moment he had seen her he was drawn to her like a moth to a flame something about her seemed to occupy his thoughts. Yes she was beautiful, sexy and passionate with pure trusting innocence. She had the body of a pornstar and the heart of a desperate romantic, but all of that was a bonus. Something indefinable drew him to her and he felt an ache every time he saw her. Then there was last night.
She was the perfect wildly passionate woman he had always dreamed of. He could see into her heart and every time he touched her he could see the love and desire through her eyes. Likewise he felt a tug in his chest every time her loving, trusting eyes melted into his. He never had a woman have this kind of effect on him before and it was unsettling as well as exciting. He knew he had to have her again and again, but he also wanted to see her sleeping next to him; something that he had never done.
