Beneath the Velvet Chains

Chapter 5 -Abbie

I freeze, my heart racing. Someone else is in here. What do I do? f**k, this night couldn’t get any worse. I looked around the room, but it was too dark, and I couldn’t see anything other than right where I was sitting.

“This isn’t funny,” I said, my voice cracking with fear. “I have already dealt with one asshole tonight; I don’t want to have to do it again.”

A deep laugh came out of the darkness. I felt goosebumps on the back of my neck, my adrenaline rushing through my veins. I waited for him to say something, but all I heard was silence.

“I am being serious, whoever you are, you need to come out instead of hiding in the corner like a coward.”

He laughed again. “Aww, is the princess scared? Have I made your heart race? Do you think I am going to hurt you?”

I thought about the layout of the room when the door was open. There was just enough light to see a clear path out. I could make it if I ran fast enough. As though the man in the corner could read my mind, he said, “Now, princess, do you really think you could outrun me? You can’t even see the lock on the door. You’ll never make it.”

I jumped as I heard a motor running, and the electric blinds on the window behind me closed, leaving me in total darkness. f**k.

“I’ll scream,” I said, but the words barely made it past my lips.

“Go ahead,” he said, laughing. “I like it.”

I felt him move across the room and stand before me. My whole body was shaking. He brought his hand to my chin and tipped it up. I could feel his breath on my mouth.

“I think you like this too.”

His words left me stunned.

“I’m not going to hurt you, princess, not unless you want me to.” I could hear his grin

I desperately searched in the dark, trying to get even a glimpse of him, but there was nothing. He ran his finger up my arm and onto my neck, and then he gripped my face in his hand. To my surprise, I felt a fire burning in my stomach. My p***y reacted without my brain, and it began to leave a damp patch below me. What the f**k is wrong with me? I don’t even know who this is. His voice sounded familiar, and he clearly knew me, but I had no idea who this man in the dark is.

Still frozen, I remained silent, letting his words hang in the air around us.

“Like I said, I was very impressed. I thought I was going to have to step in and save you from that douchebag, but you didn’t need saving, princess.” I remembered the noise I had heard earlier; it was him. Was he really going to try and stop Harry? Why didn’t he?

“I could have used the help,” I said firmly.

Again, he laughed. I could feel it against my lips.

“You didn’t need me, and I was enjoying the show up until that part.”

“So, you’re some kind of pervert then?” I clapped back.

“I was in here minding my own business when you and Mr. Popular came in and disrupted my peace. I didn’t mind what I was seeing, and you certainly seemed to enjoy the action. Why would I spoil everyone’s fun?”

The more he talked, the less frightened I became. If he was going to hurt me, he wouldn’t spend so much time talking to me. Would he? Again, I stayed silent, waiting for him to say something that would give me a clue to who he was.

“Giving me the silent treatment then, Princess? That’s a shame, I was looking forward to making you scream.”

He lifted the straps of my dress slowly, letting them fall off my shoulder. First one, then the other. My breasts were exposed to the cool air, and my n*****s hardened. I didn’t move.

“I am not going to touch you without your permission, Princess,” he whispered, and without thinking, my body relaxed a little. “If you tell me to stop, I will stop.”

His voice was low and husky. I tried to picture what he looked like in my mind, and his voice made him seem incredibly sexy. Was I really considering letting this invisible stranger touch me? I must be out of my mind.

I heard him take off a jacket; it sounded like leather, and I could hear what sounded like a clink from a chain; everything else was still a guessing game.

“Get on your knees,” he spoke without hesitation.

Who does he think he is? I don’t even know this man, and he thinks he is going to tell me what to do, and I am going to blindly obey? I laughed, and his tone changed. This caused my spine to stiffen, and I straightened up.

“Why would I listen to you?” I scowled.

Silence.

“I don’t even know who you are.”

“You know exactly who I am, Princess. Now get on your knees,” he said it with more force this time, which only caused more defiance to burn from within me. I wasn’t scared now. I had already taken on one man tonight; I could do it again, and something inside me knew that this man didn’t intend to cause me any harm.

“And if I don’t?” I said with a playful mocking in my voice.

“Then you won’t get exactly what you want, what you need, Abbie. I can give you every pleasure you have ever craved.” Hearing him say my name made my c**t swell, and I shifted on the bed.

“You came in here tonight, and you acted like you had all the confidence in the world, but I can see right through the facade. I can see right through you. You need someone who can take control, someone who can lead you, someone who can control you.”

I inhaled without thinking, his words forcing me to take a breath.

“I… I…” I couldn’t find the words.

“Get on your knees, Princess, now.”

I slid off the bed and onto the floor, my breasts still exposed, and he sat on the bed beside me. He placed his hand on the back of my neck, gripping it tight. It didn’t hurt, but it was an obvious way to show me where my place was.

“I have a few rules you need to agree to first” he said confidently.

“Rules?” I questioned

“Yes. First off, these are for your own safety and mine, so it is very important you listen carefully. If I ask you how you feel about something you will respond in one of three ways. If you are happy to continue you say Green. If you aren’t comfortable and are reaching a point where you want to pull it back, you will say orange. If you want to stop, you say red. Do you understand this princess?”

I nodded.

“This isn’t a game; you need to take this seriously. You can say orange or red at any time but if you say red, we stop everything. It is very important that you understand this and you feel safe.”

His voice was softer, almost caring. I am convinced that I have no idea who this is, surely I would remember meeting someone like this in my everyday life.

“I understand” I say meekly.

“Good, then let the fun begin.”
