Alex shut Julia's door behind him. He leaned against it and sighed. Shaking his head he pushed off from the door and walked back down the hall to his study. Walking in, he stopped in the middle of the room, and mindlessly ran his fingers over the corner of his mahogany desk. He still felt frustrated by Julia. He wanted her fire back. Her spirit. Though he felt once again disappointed by his interaction with Julia, something about it felt slightly different. He couldn't put his finger on it. Alex's fingers aimlessly tapped the surface of his desk while his mind worked over the interaction.
Suddenly it hit him. He understood what was different. Julia didn't have the same spark as before. Not by a long shot. But they spoke this time. She spoke. To him! Alex grinned slightly. A small warm ray of hope started to seep into his mind. Was it possible? To repair the damage done? Alex clutched to the small glimmer of hope he started to feel. Julia hadn't spoken to him since the incident. Not until today. Maybe now she would be more open to his advances. Maybe if he continued to interact with her, slowly they would get back on track.
Alex looked towards the door. Julia said she was going to take a bath. Maybe if he stood at the door, they could talk again. Maybe... Maybe he could apologize. And maybe she would forgive him. Alex knew he was probably moving too fast. But he couldn't wait. He was going crazy without interacting with her. If she asked him to leave, Alex told himself he would respect it. But perhaps... perhaps she wouldn't. He sighed, and stood up straighter. Everything was going to be alright. Alex walked out the door, and ambled back down the hall.

I moved hurriedly through "my" room. I had a hunch Alex would come back to me soon. It was the first time I had spoken to him since the last time he had violated me. Given everything I had gathered from the way he operated from the time I had been his captive, I had a strong feeling he wouldn't be able to stay away now. Not now that I had reopened our communication. I smirked angrily to myself, Alex certainly did like to talk. And now hopefully that would be his downfall.
I strode into the bathroom straight to the bathtub. I turned on the faucets all the way, but was careful to make sure that I continued to allow the water drain. I wasn't actually interested in bathing. Once that was taken care of, I moved back into the bedroom, walked past the door to the bed. I climbed to the other side of the bed and crouched down. From my position, I could clearly see the open bathroom door, as well as the door to the hallway, but the bed obscured me from view.
I focused on the open door of the bathroom, briefly thinking that perhaps I should have left it partially closed. My thoughts shattered when I heard the bedroom door lock move back. My heart leapt into my throat, beating wildly. This was it. Soon I was either be free, or paying dearly for my attempt. Given how Alex had snapped when I uttered my crush's name during a dream, I could only imagine what twisted punishments he would come up with to... discourage... me from attempting to leave him. I swallowed hard. I didn't think I could handle something like that. Not again. I shook my head and focused on the door. Thoughts like that weren't going to help me get out of here.
Ducking down I listened as the door creaked open. I could hear Alex's soft footsteps pad towards the bathroom. I smiled triumphantly. He hadn't closed the bedroom door. I started to stand. I saw the back of him as he slowly walked towards the bathroom. His broad shoulders were complimented nicely by the tight fitted black t-shirt he was wearing. Alex stopped and ran a hand through his hair. I swallowed hard again. Tension was clearly running through his body. His movements were stiff. Please, please keep moving I chanted in my head, feeling the desperation welling up through my body.
I could still hear the running water of the bathtub, so I knew that was drawing his attention. I just hoped he continued to walk that way long enough. He movements were tentative. Alex blew out a sigh, and pressed forward towards the bathroom. I prayed he didn't lose his nerve. As I watched him get closer to the bathroom door, I crept out from around the bed. I could feel the adrenaline rush through my veins. My heart was beating fiercely. I was in plain view. If he turned around now, it would be all over.
As Alex moved towards the bathroom, I inched closer and closer to the open bedroom door. I held my breath, trying desperately to keep silent. I was more than halfway there. Being so close to freedom, but also so close to him, the man who had made some of my worst nightmares reality, had me almost hysterical. I was fighting panic. If I failed, it would kill me.
Alex made it to the bathroom door, and ducked inside.
"Julia?"
At the question in his voice, I made a mad dash to the door. I gripped the doorframe, and flung myself out of the room as I heard an infuriated roar come from the bathroom. I looked back into the room to see Alex, startled, looking straight at me. For a moment time stopped.
Then he charged towards the open bedroom door, and me. Hysterically I grabbed for the door handle and slammed the door shut. Not a moment later I heard his body slam into the door. I reached up and threw the bolt on the door, locking Alex in the same room he had held me in. Tears immediately streamed down my face, as it dawned on me that I did it. I escaped that dreadful prison.
I could hear Alex's body continually slam into the door. His voice filled with rage.
"JULIA! OPEN THIS DOOR! YOU ARE MINE. DO YOU HEAR ME?! MINE! NOW OPEN THIS DOOR."
I slammed my fist into the door, and screeched out "BURN IN HELL MOTHERFUCKER. BURN IN HELL."
And with that I turned and ran down the hallway. Alex's furious yells following me. I stumbled down the staircase, into the foyer and out the door.
I was free.
**********
Three months later.
Alex's hands were on my body. Everywhere. I struggled to push him off, but I was tied. My limbs stretched painfully wide, forcing me to take it. Everything and anything he wanted to do to me. Alex moved one hand to me throat, his fingers wrapping around.
"We never did get to do any breath play, did we pet?" His fingers squeezed slightly. My breath began to grow ragged. I silently pleaded with my eyes for him to let go. Alex clicked his tongue against his teeth.
"Lucky for you pet, it's not really my thing." He let go, and I gasped. A tear leaked out of my eye. Alex moved his thumb over my cheek and wiped it away.
"If you weren't such a naughty little pet, we wouldn't have to be doing this." He grinned cruelly, "but alas here we are. Now what am I going to do with you?"
His hands moved down my body, to my breasts. He tugged and pulled at my nipples, sometimes lightly, sometimes squeezing until I cried out. Soon he moved his mouth to one of my nipples, sucking hard.
"I love your tits, pet. I really do." He said in between sucking each nipple. My cheeks reddened at his vulgarity. I opened my mouth to tell him off, but before I could start, he quickly shoved two fingers into my mouth, and moved his thumb under my chin, preventing me from closing my mouth.
"shh, shh, pet. Daddy's not finished." He grinned as I narrowed my eyes, disgusted with his new terminology. He continued on, "As much as I love your tits now. I can't help but love them even more when they're clamped."
