Caline knelt on the cold oak floors, resting on her ankles, legs spread, chest out, holding the opposite elbow with her hands behind her back.
She felt the usual frustration and fear, but also disappointment and confusion.
She was scared of the men in the house with her, and frustrated with how easily these rulers of the universe had taken her freedom and dignity.
The night after the medical exam, Master had hung her by the wrists in his dungeon and flogged her across her breasts, butt, and finally attached a spreader bar above her knees and flogged her pussy until she screamed.
"You came so beautifully before. You can't do it again? For me?" he'd cruelly asked before whipping her with the leather contraption again, her limp body collapsing against the constraints.
Then he left her there, for how many hours she didn't know.
When he returned, Master was unspeakably, suspiciously, tender. He carried her up the stairs and to his own bathroom. Through the window she saw that it was dawn. Master drew a hot bath scented with jasmine oil. He washed her with a soft cloth and luxurious soap that smelled of lemons and rosemary, threading his fingers through her hair and massaging her scalp as he washed her long hair.
"Come on up, little one," he said, holding out a large Turkish towel. Sore and scared, she stood up on shaky legs and was enveloped in the towel and his arms.
Master kissed her forehead, temple, and then his mouth was on hers, pushing his tongue in and letting her taste him. He pushed her against the bathroom counter, quickly pulling her legs up and around his waist.
Caline groaned. Of course. Of course he'd do it now, when she was still sore, when all her juices were washed away and it would hurt the most possible. Dr. Harmon had said she needed foreplay. That she should be on top and in charge. Dr. Harmon . . . God, he'd tried to keep her raped as little as possible, hadn't he? But even he had given into Master, humiliating her on his own exam table.
