He's My Killer

Chapter Thirteen

Music thumped around the dimmed house while Tiana was being led through the crowd of horny men and nearly naked woman, dancing.

Heck, she was nearly naked.

A small shove to keep her walking when she abruptly stopped, watching with confusion.

She was led to a double oak door and all it took was two knocks to enter. The doors pulled back and Tiana cringed at the sight that was revealed to her.

A naked woman sitting on Carter's lap with spread legs, leaving herself exposed for all to see.

Tiana closed her eyes in disgust. That would be an image left in her brain for sometime. This was disgusting. She must have no self respect for the room was filled with random men.

Tiana could feel his sinister eyes on her even when her eyes were closed and she could tell he had a smirk. Amusing he thought.

"Candy,"

Must've been the nude woman's name. Tiana thought. How classic.

"Take these gentlemen in the other room to get a closer look at you."

Tiana felt chills run over her body when he said those words.

"Yes, daddy."

Daddy?! Oh my god! He was a pimp!

Abusive pimp!

Movement went through the room as Tiana kept her eyes closed. She couldn't believe any of this. She hoped she was having a nightmare and wake up sooner than later.

"Leave us." His dark tone filled her ears.

Tiana gulped when hands released her arms and movements led to the doors closing. Tiana finally opened her eyes to meet his dark, sinister ones.

Nothing was said. Just an intense stare down and Tiana squirmed uncomfortably. Wasn't sure if it was the clothing that barely covered her skin or his eyes.

"Why am I here?" She questioned boldly, breaking the silence.

He said nothing as he continued to stare at her. She then realized how exposed she was under him. She used her hands and covered herself as best could.

"Your disgusting, you know that?" She snapped angrily.

She jumped a bit when he stood to his height and walked around the desk. He picked up something leather and gold. Tiana squinted her eyes but didn't get much of a look when his hand curled up, hiding the object.

"Come here." His voice came out dangerously calm.

Tiana shook her head. "No! Why am I here, Carter? I don't even care anymore. Let me go and I swear I won't tell."

Carter looked long and hard at Tiana before another smirk came to view.

"You're cute, babe. But I don't like to repeat myself."

Tiana rolled her eyes and crossed her arms over her chest. "I will not until I know—what are you doing?"

The sound of his belt undoing sounded throughout the room. He ignored her words.

"I told you I don't like to repeat myself." And with that he was walking towards her.

"Your going to hit me?!"

"Turn around or you prefer to get lashes on your thighs."

Tiana's eyes widen in shock. She quickly looked around the room and her eyes lit up when she saw a metal rod near the massive fireplace.

"Try it, darling and you'll get ten more added as your punishment." He warned.

Tiana thought. Get the belt or run and put up a fight and if she lost she would get more from the belt.

Her choice was simple and she did what she felt was right.

Took her chance.

She ran to the fire place and just as the tips of her fingers grazed the rod she was pulled back, landing on her bottom. A small whine came from her and she looked up at his amused expression.

"Thighs it is."

"Wait! I change my mind. I—"

"No, babe." He chuckled. "I don't go back on my words."

And without saying another word, she felt the sting of pain in her thighs followed by a loud scream.

He began beating my ass!

********

Tiana let tears stream down her face as she watched him in silence as he rubbed her thighs down with oils. The belt marks left patterns, going up her thighs.

"Hope you learned your lesson. Can't have another mistress disrespecting me whenever she please."

Tiana bit her lip hard, trying so hard not to sob in front of him.

He stood and stared down at her figure. She was looking down. He gripped her chin and made her look at him.

"Your beautiful, Tiana. Don't make me break you. Literally." He pecked her lips before pulling out the same gold object.

"Is that—"

"—A collar? It is and I suggest you don't take it off." He warned as he placed it on her neck and fasten it.

He grabbed her hands and slowly lifted her off the fluffy couch causing her to wince due to the pain in her thighs and to his indoor bathroom in his office.

As soon as the light came on, Tiana teared up again. She faced the mirror. She looked terrible. Not able to hold it back, a sob escaped her lips and she looked away.

She never thought she would be in this situation. Ever! But here she was. With a criminal towering her from behind.

His hands rubbed her skin soothingly while leaning into her ear. "I brought you here for your suspicions. Even when you think you did nothing but wonder, you are still a risk. Cut a threat down as a weed before it grows."

"I didn't mean to be curious." Her words coming out softly in a whisper, broken.

"But you did and that's why your here now. You can only blame yourself." He smirked in the mirror.

Tiana felt her blood boil. "You bastard! I didn't know it was you killing them girls!!"

A moment of silence before he spoke. "I'm very, very interested in getting to know who you are, babe."

Before pulling her out the bathroom. He pressed some button on the desk and the door immediately open, revealing Amelia.

Her lips were low at the sight of Tiana's tear stained face.

"Amelia."

"Yes, sir?"

"Take her to the guest room across from my room." He ordered before letting Tiana's arm go.

"And make sure she eats." He told as Amelia grabbed Tiana's arm gently and leading her out of his office.

The double doors closed and silence hovered the halls. Guard men stood straight up against the wall.

"I'm sorr—"

"Don't." Tiana shook her head. "I don't want your sorry. He's right, I can't blame anyone but myself." Another tear streaming down her eye.

Amelia sighed. "Well, can I give you some advice."

"I don't want it. I don't want anything from you people." Tiana told as she shook her head.

The old woman shook her head. "You are as stubborn as him. I know you two will bump heads in the future, a lot. But he is the Boss around here. He owns this entire place you stand on now. And judging by those belt marks on your legs, you'll need it to survive." She spoke while opening a door.

"This is the guest room. He is not as nice to those other girls by giving them a room like this."

Tiana turned and faced Amelia. "I'm the first girl that has been in this room?"

"Correction. You are the second."

"Who was the first?"

Amelia laughed a bit. "I'm sorry, deary, but I don't tell the Boss' secrets. If so curious, ask him yourself. I have no idea why he wants you in here but as I said from the start, you are different."

"Why does everyone say that. What makes me different from anyone. I'm just a regular girl who grew up as daughter of a pastor." Tiana explained.

"Preacher's daughter, you say?"

"Yes."

Amelia looked closer at Tiana and then smiled awkwardly. "I must fetch your dinner, Miss. I'll be back in thirty. I'll have some change of clothes and hygiene and hair equipment sent up for you." She just gave her a nod and she left without another word.

Tiana looked around the room as she took a seat on the comfortable bed. Layered with tan silk sheets. She sighed and bent over, taking off her heels, releasing her feet to breathe.

She noticed there was a walk in bathroom. How strange. Guest bathroom. Probably not to strange. She'll have a little privacy.

She laid back and closed her eyes and took in the silence.

All she could think about was escaping.
