*Authors note: Thanks for reading. I appreciate all the positive comments I've received. They have helped with all the negative this story has seemed to receive.
This is the conclusion to this part of the story. I'm not sure if I want to write more on Cassie and Luke, but I'll leave that up to you guys. Let me know if you would be interested in Cassie's next story, although it wouldn't be non consent/reluctance.
Be warned, there is no sex in this final chapter.
Thanks for the support!*

Cassie gave up on sleep and decided to take a shower. She left Sir in bed, pushing the covers up to keep him warm. She sighed as the steam rose up and she stepped into the warm water. She could feel her muscles slowly relax. Her ass still felt bruised and raw and her stomach felt as if she did a thousand sit ups the day before. Cassie decided she'd wash her hair later and sank to the floor, letting the water cascade over her.
The door opened and Cassie's eyes flew up. Sir stood, unsteady, looking down at her. Without a word, he stepped into the shower and sank down next to Cassie. He pulled her close and gave a sigh of relief. Cassie noticed he angled his back so he was resting on his arm, not his back.
"You were gone," Sir said, in way of explanation.
"I couldn't sleep," Cassie said, snuggling closer.
They sat there for a long time before Sir finally nudged her to stand. He gently washed her hair and soaped her body before letting her do the same to him. She took special care to be gentle with his back. When she was done she shut the water off and led him out of the shower. They toweled off, dressed, and found breakfast waiting for them. Instead of just a tray, there was a man posted at the door.
"John, what are you doing in here?"
"Mr. Mason has asked to keep a guard around you. I thought you'd prefer some of your own men instead of his."
Sir cursed under his breath. "Thank you. Let the men know that we won't be staying. What are Mr. Mason's plans for the day? Week?"
"He is hosting another one of his parties tonight. But we believe he will be tied up with meetings throughout since he has requested that Cassie stay locked up in here for the foreseeable future. Word is that he is going to set up an auction to sell Cassie."
Cassie gasped and Sir hit the wall. He rubbed his fist as he stalked across the floor, pacing as he tried to sort things out.
"We can't let him sell her. Who knows what would happen to her."
"We will do all we can to prevent it. Or to get out before that happens."
"Yes, we need to be gone before that happens. John, we need to make sure that he can't come after us. Cassie, why don't you take breakfast to the room while me and John talk."
Cassie took the tray and left the room. She wasn't sure what they were planning, but she was too tired to listen to them brainstorm. She would work out her own escape, once she found out what they decided.
......
Cassie was restless. It had been days since Sir had his talk with John. They were still working out details. There was an auction set up for tomorrow. Tomorrow! And they still hadn't let her in on what was going on. Not really. She hadn't even left Sir's room. She wanted out of here.
The door opened. She could hear Sir and his men talking. Cassie crept up to the door to try and listen. She heard lots of muffles but it sounded like they had a final plan. She really hoped she had seen the last of this place.
When the footsteps drew closer, Cassie leapt back on the bed and tried to pretend she wasn't eavesdropping. But it didn't matter. The bedroom door didn't open. The footsteps faded again and the front door closed.
They were gone. Sir hadn't even said anything to her. She was starting to feel angry about being left in the dark about everything. The auction was closing in on her and she really hoped she wouldn't be here for it. She didn't want to find herself in some foreign country at the mercy of whatever kind of pigs bought women as if they were furniture. She wasn't sure she could keep calm as it seemed to draw closer. Were they going to let her be sold off?
Commotion outside drew her attention. Cassie went to the bedroom window and looked outside. There were tons of people out there. It looked like they were setting up for a birthday party or a wedding. Can you have an illegal slave auction catered? Did any of them cared about what would happen to her? Cassie fumed as she looked around and saw her horse. Her horse! Someone was riding her horse!
"What are you looking at?"
Cassie squealed and turned around. Sir was standing in the door frame. She hadn't even heard the front door open. She hadn't heard anything at all over the noise coming from outside.
"My horse," Cassie explained. The look on Sir's face didn't make her feel better. He knew!
"Cassie.... Mr. Mason sold your horse."
"He can't do that! She's mine!"
"It's too late, she's out for her last ride before being loaded up and taken home after the auction tomorrow."
"Are we a matching set? Buy one get one half off?" Cassie spat at him.
"Cassie, I won't let you be sold. We have everything ready to get out of here."
"Whatever," Cassie said, not believing him. She was sure that she would end up on the block with people bidding on her with the idea that she would have her jaw wired open to suck cock or whatever else those perverts wanted.
Sir stepped into the room and Cassie backed away from him. The look of hurt on his face almost made her waver. But she held firm. She stopped believing he might actually want to help her after leaving her all week in this room alone to deal with the idea that she was going to be sold to the highest bidder.
"Cassie, come here. I promise we have it all worked out." When she didn't move to him, Sir moved towards her. Cassie backed up until she hit the corner. When he grabbed her to pull her to him she hit him. She hit his chest with all she had. Which wasn't much. But she beat him until he managed to wrestle her arms to her side.
"Cassie! Stop!"
"You're a liar! Get away!"
Sir managed to pin her to his chest and held her until she lost all her fight.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry I left you alone this week. I know it seems like you are all alone now, but you aren't. We are going to leave. We just have to make sure we deal with Mr. Mason so he can't follow."
Cassie was tired of fighting. She was tired of being afraid all the time. She went limp against him and he swooped her into his arms before she hit the floor.
"It doesn't matter anymore. It will never be okay."
"Cassie, no! Don't do this now! You can't break now. I promise, I'll get you out."
Cassie refused to listen to him. How would he do it? No matter what he did, she was sure that Mr. Mason would make sure that they never left. Unless it was after she was sold to someone who would guarantee her life would be hell.
"Here, stay here," Sir said as he laid her on the bed. He returned with a glass of water. He handed her the glass and a pill.
