Sierra was in a state of shocked confusion, dizzied by the abrupt, heated kiss, startled by the blast and disturbed by Jarok being hauled away. She was worried for Jarok, but the picture in her mind of Gerra bound and exhausted recalled Sierra to her senses. Sierra shook off Lord V's arm and turned quickly to face General Conroy.
"General Conroy, I have to go with Lord V, but thank you for all you have done. Please help Jarok, he was only trying to protect me," Sierra's voice was steady and sincere.
The General peered at Sierra, her sharp blue eyes thoughtful and full of questions. She nodded and said in a tightly controlled voice her gaze slipping over to scan Lord V's smug face, "Sierra, I will do what I can. If you ever need me, ask for me over any comm. Your message will eventually get to me."
Lord V cleared his throat and raised his eyebrows at this, but instead of addressing Conroy, he merely held his arm out to Sierra expectantly. Sierra turned towards him her jaw tight, her chin up, her eyes staring straight into nothing and allowed Lord V to lead her from the conference room.

Lord V and Sierra walked in potent silence as he led her through a series of space station promenades until reaching the high-speed elevator to the docking bay. He gestured gallantly for her to enter first, his eyes simmering with triumph and his tight, little smile quirking up as he watched her every move. As the elevator started its humming ascent, Sierra turned to Lord V.
"I need to see that Gerra is safe, before I'll board your ship," Sierra said evenly without looking up.
Lord V's eyes blazed with irritation at her presumption. He stepped closer to her becoming a looming figure, his hand snapping down to raise her chin so her eyes met his. Sierra's stormy, green eyes held his gaze. Lord V's eyes narrowed, his jaw tensing before he smoothed his features and responded coldly, "Very well, pet."
He release her chin and Lord V tapped a few buttons on his comm and one of the hologram viewscreen windows appeared out of thin air before their eyes. Sierra took a sharp breath. Gerra was lying naked and unmoving on the Stargalley floor.
Sierra balled her hands into fists and looked up at Lord V angrily. "How do I even know she's alive?" Sierra spat.
Lord V practically rolled his eyes and shook his head slightly before a few slight hand gestures made the viewscreen zoom in on Gerra's face and chest. Sierra's hands relaxed as she was able to discern the rise and fall of Gerra's breathing. The viewscreen window popped out of existence and Lord V looked down at Sierra imperiously, "A deal is a deal, pet. Wouldn't you agree?"

Lord V had led Sierra back to his luxurious chambers on his ship. She tried to make mental notes of the twists and turns that got them there. After entering, he turned to her, standing very close and traced a finger down one side of her face and neck. She reached up to stop him, to slap his hand away, but as usual, he was too quick for her, he grabbed her wrist instead and turned. Sierra winced, but Lord V surprisingly lessened his grasp and simply spun her around.
Lord V wrapped his arm around Sierra's waist pulling her body back against him. He grasped her braid in his other hand and tugged on the strap holding the shimmering strands together. He let out a huff as he had to retract his other hand to help pull apart the knitted bands of shiny hair.
Sierra stood incredulous that this was his first act as she felt him paw through her silky hair. It almost felt good as the braid had been a bit tight. Her light brown hair, now in waves from being bound, was thrown across her shoulders from behind so that the honeyed waves curtained her pert, large breasts constrained beneath the pale green tunic. Sierra jumped feeling the tingle inducing warmth of Lord V's lips on her bare neck.
"Ah, slave. I should skin you alive for all the trouble you've caused me, but I do love your skin so," Lord V murmured nuzzling her neck.
Sierra shivered and tried to step away, but he snaked his grip around her again, firmly dragging her backwards to him. Sierra braced herself on his arm around her waist, trying to hold herself apart to no avail. "I am not your slave. The consortium . . ." Sierra tried to say gasping a little while wiggling uselessly. She squeaked as he pulled her even closer and ground himself against her backside.
"Oh, forgive me, Miss Lavery." Lord V cooed mockingly. "I just wanted to show a fellow consortium citizen all that Ingentia had to offer."
Lord V flipped her around to face him grabbing her arms. It was so disconcerting how he controlled her physical movements so easily. His menacing eyes bore down on her. He let go of her arms long enough to roughly rip down her tunic, pulling it off her and casting it aside as if it had been paper. Her heaving breasts in a pale blue bra caught his eye, and he let out a growl, before he effortlessly threw her over a shoulder and stalked towards the instruction room entrance.
Sierra's pulse and breath picked up in a panic as she bounced uncomfortably on his muscular shoulder. She heard the door slide open to the familiar room and she tried to kick and pummel him from her awkward perch, but this only earned her a few painful swats to her ass in response.
He set her on her feet on a red padded floor-mat that had a low, stiff, black wedged-shaped pillow placed towards the center. Two buckled straps were ominously attached to the red pad in front of the wedge. As soon as her feet touched the padded floor, Sierra fought him as she had never fought him before.
Sierra scratched at Lord V and nearly kneed him in the groin. She almost slipped away, but he grabbed the waistband of her leggings and she tripped forward onto her knees as he stripped her pants down ripping them off as easily as he had her top, revealing her scanty, pale blue panties.
Red-faced, Sierra cried out as he pushed her down further and buried a knee into her back, his dexterous hands unclasping her bra and urging the straps down her flailing arms. "Stop," Sierra wailed, "Get your hands off me!" her body shuddered and her large, green eyes flared with panic and vexation.
"Oh slave, nothing could convince me to stop," Lord V barked in a husky voice, "I've had so much time to daydream about our reunion in your absence. Rest assured, all my imaginings involve my hands on you." He chuckled ominously, "Be grateful, pet, that this is how I am welcoming you home. I considered so many options." Lord V added, his voice a condescending sneer, "Although, your unruly behavior may convince me to change my mind, so much depends on you, my dear."
