World Upside-down

So this is my life.

I wake up and make my way out to the couch. Landon is nowhere to be seen, so I figure I'm safe for now. I noticed he left the kichen a mess, but I'm sure he has some reason for that, and I'm sure I have something to do with it. I'm totally engrossed in my book when I get startled.

"Hello Princess." he says as he walks into the kitchen.

I jump, startled by his sudden appearance. I stare stares at him with my mouth open for a minute before regaining control of myself. Hes standing in front of me without a shirt on. His 8-pack staring me in the face. Over taking him is going to be harder than I thought. "Hey." I say simply with a shrug and turn back to my book.

He chuckles as he starts to make us some sandwiches.

"Ready for lunch?" he asks over his shoulder, not bothering to turn around.

"Yes, sir." I say and make my way into the kitchen and sit down at the table.

he walks over to me and sets my sandwich down in front of me and sits in the spot opposite of myself.

"Oh BLTs! My favorite!" I say excitedly as I take a bite of my sandwich, a small moan escaping my mouth. I blush from embarrassment while he laughs at me. He seems to look at me with admiration before his eyes suddenly turn dark again.

We sit in silence eating our food. I gets up to leave, but before I can, he clears his throat. "Where are your manners young lady? Aren't you forgetting something?" he asks in a serious tone.

My eyes get wide. "I'm so sorry, Landon, yes. Thank you so much for the food, it was delicious." I say.

He nods. "After dinner you will clean the kitchen, the table, and the dishes, as punishment for disrespecting me this morning." He says to me.

"Yes Landon." I reply as I walks back over to the couch to resume reading my book. So, this was his angle. To treat me like a child.

"Good girl." he says, and finishes eating his food. "I have errands to run, I won't be long. Continue to be a good little girl and stay put. Don't make me come searching for you, and remember, all other rooms aside from the ones I've shown you are off limits. I'll be watching." he says as he points to the camera.

My eyes follow in the direction he's pointing. I don't say anything, just simply nod and go back to my book. He leaves, locking the door behind him.

I let out a sigh of relief. Thank God he's gone, now I can relax for a little while before he comes home. How dare he treat me like a child. Maybe I once was, but I had to grow up way before I should have. If he thinks he's going to win this game. He has it all wrong. I'm in control. This is my body; he can't have it. I continue reading my book for what feels like hours. I don't know when, but at some point, I fell asleep. I woke up and screamed at the pair of Ice blue eyes staring inches from my face.

"LANDON!" I screamed. "What the hell? You scared me half to death!" I say clutching my chest.

He stays staring at me for a second. All of a sudden, he grabs my face and kisses me. Roughly, there was no love behind this kiss, only lust. I wanted to fight him off but knew I would only be hurting myself. So, I let him win. He lets me go and stares at me.

"Hmm." He says at walks away, leaving me there to catch my breath and try to control the vomit that threatens to leave my throat. How dare he?

I collect myself and swiftly make an exit to my bedroom and run to the bathroom. I wash my face and brush my teeth. Doing anything in attempt to get the remanence of him off me. I'm so disgusted. I can hear him in the kitchen making dinner, But I can't think about that right now. All I can think about is how bad I want to get out of here and away from him. This is no longer a game. It's the fight for my life. To take back what's mine. He cannot have me. He cannot have my body, and he cannot have my mind. I calm myself down. He says he's in love with me, okay. Now it is I who has to make him believe I am in love with him. I open up my bathroom cabinet and find some new makeup I never noticed was there before. I did my make up then worked on my hair. Next, I walked to my armoire and picked out the shortest dress I could find and put it on. A small knock on the door came and he spoke through it.

"Malorie, dinner is done. Come eat." He says. I hear him retreat back to the kitchen.

I check myself out in the vanity mirror quickly before walking out of the bedroom and sitting at the table. He turns around to me and his mouth gapes open before he clears his throat.

"Malorie." He says, breathing slightly heavier than before. "You uh, you look phenomenal. "He finally says and puts my food down in front of me.

I smile at him and watch as he sits down across from me. Not taking his eyes off me. Hook, line, and sinker, I think to myself as I start enjoying the lasagna he made. Being sure to really sell it by letting small moans escape from my mouth. I could tell he was bothered, but not once did he say a thing. This is my game now, and I came here to win. You better watch yourself Landon. The game has only begun.
