Alec listened to her ramblings. He stopped typing and leaned back into his chair. "Miranda for the last f.u.c.king time you will not be working! I don"t get how you can"t process that!" Miranda frowned looking very disheartened.
"Well how am I supposed to help her? Katie is a sick old women who wants to live out her days feeling like she owns something. Tell me what to do and I"ll do it."
"Ask me for the money." Miranda looked at him like he was speaking another language.
"Why would I do that?"
"You want to help her out, it"s easy done ask me for the money, you know I"m more than capable of helping out. Choice is yours kid!" Miranda set her chin up in defiance. She"d never ask him for money.
"Thank you for your offer but I must decline, I"ll think of something."
"What could you possibly think of? Ha? What are your options? Tell me, you have zero options yet you still refuse to ask me. You"d let Katie lose her shop because of your pride? You"re really starting to test my patience kid, I f.u.c.king paid a fortune for your clothes yet you prefer to walk around in your brand less clothes. Why? Give me an explanation why you deliberately want to reject what I offer you?" Alec looked frustrated with her. f.u.c.k!
"You want an explanation okay I"ll give you one, I"m not your wh.o.r.e! I won"t be bought I don"t need your things to live. You have taken everything from me, my life, my freedom, my heart all I have left is how I portray myself, so that"s your explanation... Master" Alec was rubbing his hand over his goatee. Miranda knew she p.i.s.sed him off. "What now I"m going to be punished for answering your question? I just want to help her, I will think of something so as to not trouble you."
"Let me know what you come up with" Alec resumed his task on the computer while Miranda all but stormed out of his office.
Miranda was furious with Alec. Why did everything revolve around him being in control? f.u.c.k him! Think Miranda think! How can you help Katie? Throwing herself onto her bead Miranda was frantically trying to come up with something. Nothing, nothing at all. Great Miranda trying to prove to Alec that he"s not in control and you come up short.
Then it dawned on her, she"ll sell her house. Not that she wanted to but at least she could help Katie and prove to Alec she could still survive without him. Yep she"ll lay it on him after dinner. Let him cool off a little.
Alec was agitated with Miranda! He couldn"t understand why she continued to fight him. He knew she loved him, but why was it so hard for her to accept his gifts? He loved to see her dolled up and have everything her heart desires, yet she chooses to live a life like material things don"t matter. Come to think of it, not once was she awed by his house, or his cars or his jewels, it didn"t seem to faze her one way or another. When he did force her to dress up she was always obviously out of her comfort zone.
Alec was stilled dazed by how unaffected she was with his belongings. He"d never met a women who wasn"t taken by the better life. Miranda prefers to wear her cotton shorts instead of a Victoria Secret number, she would prefer to wear leggings then Versace pants. Her wardrobe was full of the best and unless forced to wear them she continued to rebel in her own way proving to him that she still was in denial that Alec alone owned everything about her. Thinking to himself that maybe just maybe he"d been letting her get away with too much.
After dinner Alec was dressed in only his David Beckham pajama bottoms having a drink in the informal lounge room. Miranda skipped a heartbeat when she saw his bare chest and the line of hair traveling down his navel. He was s.e.xy as h.e.l.l, and by G.o.d that tattoo was the s.e.xiest thing she"d ever seen. He looked up and graced her with his s.e.xy as h.e.l.l lopsided grin. Miranda wearing track pants and a singlet walked in and stood in front of Alec.
This should be interesting Alec thought to himself. What could she possibly want at this time of the night? "Spit it out Miranda what is it?"
"Can I visit Toni? Just make sure she"s okay?" Alec didn"t know how to deal with this kid. He really did need to put her in her place.
"No." Loving her pout Alec could feel his c.o.c.k stirring. "Come to daddy baby." He was making fun of her again. She moved and sat on his lap.
"Why not?" He put his hand under her singlet and moved to cup her breast. She was braless and his c.o.c.k sprung to life.
"Cos I said so," he was frustrating her and he knew it. Time to show her why he"s boss!
"That"s not fair, I have been well behaved give me something!" Alec grinned at her as her continued to knead her breast.
"Give you something? You don"t want my gifts baby remember? Your pride won"t allow you to accept my gifts," he stroked her stomach with feathery touches. Miranda"s breathing quickened. His hand was traveling lower until he reached her sweat pants and slowly bought the elastic down.
"Alec please this is serious," without warning Alec fisted his hand around her hair and moved her in so she was inches from his face.
"Alec! You don"t f.u.c.king learn do you kid." Miranda wasn"t expecting that. His mood swings were unpredictable. "I think it"s high time you remember who"s the boss," letting her hair go he pushed her onto the floor. "Get up." His voice was calm but Miranda knew there was a lesson to be learnt.
Standing up and looking unsure, Alec"s beast came to life. Her look of defiance just awoken the raging beast. "Since when am I Alec to you? Do we have to repeat this time and time again?"
"I"m sorry master it was an accident." Oh no you don"t kid, you"re not getting out of this one, Alec was onto her.
"Sorry? Kid I think you use that word just to get out of trouble. Tell you what, I"ll whip you ten times and we"ll call it even." He saw Miranda"s face and knew she wasn"t a happy trouper. "No baby you don"t like that? What else can we come up with?"
Miranda was started to feel like he was playing a cat and mouse game with her. She really felt like telling him to f.u.c.k off. "Nothing." Miranda wanted to slap herself just to shut herself up.
"Miranda you"re really pus.h.i.+ng the limits here. I"m starting to think you don"t think I"ll hurt you." f.u.c.k he needed to f.u.c.k her! She looked like she was trying to get herself out of this one, he could see the wheels in her head turning.
"Ten lashes? That"s it?" Miranda was hoping to appease Mr. Control freak.
"Ten lashes... Unless you want more!" She rolled her eyes at him. He f.u.c.king laughed at her." Babe your killing me! Okay ten lashes that"s it no s.e.x afterward." Miranda wasn"t sure if she was happy about that at least the o.r.g.a.s.m was her reward after being punished. "You don"t like that either?" Miranda felt her face heat up.
"Why do you like to embarra.s.s me?" She knew she was pouting but didn"t care. He moved directly in front of her and gently kissed her on her lips. He bit her bottom lip softly.
"It"s what I do baby, and your body loves me for it." How could she argue with that? Her body adored him, he was the s.e.xiest man alive in her eyes.
"Can I call you Alec for good measure?" Alec laughed again, he picked her up and threw her over his shoulder taking her up to her room. He slapped her hard on her b.u.t.t and told her that was for good measure. Little smart mouth was actually teasing him.
Once in the room Alec lay on her bed with his hands behind his head waiting for her to get prepared. "Really do we have to do this? I said I was sorry..." She whined.
"I"ve already let you get away with way too much. It"s gotta be done." He was happy watching her try and get out of it.
"Plea.s.ssseee," she gave him her best dimpled smile and he laughed again. She actually stomped her feet when he laughed clearly frustrated with him.
"I can run away you know. I"m fast, I actually used to be an athlete at school... So there." Alec was still amused but only a bit, his hard on was dying to get in Miranda.
"I f.u.c.king dare you to run, makes it more fun when I catch you and really punish you. Choice is yours kid, I"ll even give you a head start. I"ll count to ten before I go after you... One... Two..."
"This is ridiculous stop counting."
"Three... Four... Five..." He continued to count she was getting nervous. "Six... Seven..."
"Okay okay I give up you win," The a.s.shole looked victorious.
"I always win kid, come here," she walked toward him biting the inside of her cheek. He grabbed her hand and threw her over his lap, she gave a scream not expecting this. Alec pushed her pants and underpants to reveal her bare bottom. He hissed in a breath. He bought his hand hard on her cheek and Miranda let out another scream, from pain this time. "Start counting baby."
"One... Ouch!" she yelled as the second smack found her a.s.s.
"One what?"
"Master... three master...Ouch!" Alec was clearly enjoying her misery.
"No, no, Miranda counting starts with one. Let"s start again..." Alec was relentless, he smacked her hard loving her screams and the way her a.s.s was reddening up. His hand prints were embedded on her a.s.s. When he completed his ten slaps he started to knead her a.s.s. She was crying but she also let out a moan. Just to make sure he was sure about her he moved his fingers to insert into her p.u.s.s.y and sure enough she was f.u.c.king wet. By G.o.d she was made for him.
He let her up and wiped her tears? She turned away from him upset that he got joy out of her pain. Despite himself he laughed again. "You don"t love me anymore? The mean man hurt you?" She turned and gave him a go to h.e.l.l look, which just made him laugh all the more.
Without warning Alec grabbed her and lay her head on his chest while his arms were around her. She was still sort of angry... Sort of, he was too f.u.c.king s.e.xy to stay angry at. But she still wanted to get one in. "You know master, I"m starting to think you have fallen in love with me." Did she push too far? His body tensed up. "No need to get angry it"s our little secret okay?" She kissed his chest and fell asleep.
Alec lay awake listening to her breathing. He knew she was asleep. She left him speechless with her comment. If he was in love with her why couldn"t he admit it? Wasn"t a big deal. So why did his world seem to close in on him when he would even begin to believe he was in love with her. Something was wrong with this scenario, he couldn"t love her because you don"t hurt what you love. He loved hurting her he knew that, he loved her smile, her witty remarks, her defiance, her obedience, the way her body responded to his touch. He loved her smell her lips her eyes, there wasn"t a G.o.dd.a.m.n thing he didn"t love about her. But he loved to hurt her and that can"t be cla.s.sified as loving somebody... Or could it?
Chapter 25.
Miranda woke up in Alec"s arms. Felt so right to be there. She looked up at him, he looked so peaceful sleeping. Lifting her head up she gently kissed him. He didn"t move, so she kissed him again, he opened his eyes, Miranda pulled away. She looked a little guilty, "Um morning." f.u.c.k Miranda why do you always ruin things with Alec? He obviously doesn"t like it when you initiate anything.
Alec was looking at Miranda as if still dreaming, she looked so s.e.xy with her disheveled hair. She had kissed him, oh f.u.c.k Miranda was going to complicate everything. Why couldn"t she let things be? Alec moved to get out of the bed he needed s.p.a.ce, this wasn"t what he wanted. He didn"t want Miranda for a normal relations.h.i.+p, he wanted her purely to fulfill his rage and his l.u.s.t. Things were going too fast, there was no need complicating things.
"Guess you"re going to do that thing where you ignore me because I kissed you right?"
"Got work to do."
"Yep well so do I, seeing that your too busy to even give me a kiss good morning let"s talk business." Alec looked at her like she was an alien.
"Pray tell me what possible business do you have to discuss with me?" Alec said sitting on the bed suddenly intrigued by her comment.
"You asked me how I could help Katie, here it is, I want to sell my house and help her with her repayments." Miranda waited for Alec to say something. She sat up tying her hair loosely trying to busy herself so she didn"t look like she was nervous. Alec remained quiet. This wasn"t a good sign.
"Please answer me, I thought it through and that was the best way to go about it."
Alec stood up and left the room. What the f.u.c.k was she playing at? He knew she was trying to maintain some independence but to sell her house? f.u.c.k that was ludicrous, Miranda would rather resort to losing her house as opposed to asking him for help. Yeah this was not how it was going to work. Maybe he should give her free reign to do as she pleases. Maybe totally allow her freedom, see if she can handle it without him. What would she do if he didn"t control her? Just thinking about it p.i.s.sed him off. That little b.i.t.c.h wanting to act like she had control!
Actually the more he thought it through, the more that it sounded like a plan. He"ll give her total control. Let"s see where this will lead.
After getting dressed Miranda made her way to the dining room for breakfast. Alec and Carlos were engaging in conversation. "Morning Carlos," she said as she sat and poured herself a cup of coffee.
"Hey good morning suns.h.i.+ne."
Miranda noticed that Alec didn"t comment on her wearing her hair down. Was he sulking? Well this just got interesting.
"About Toni, we never finished our discussion..." Miranda didn"t know how to approach the topic so she just went for it. Alec looked up at her seeming a little off his game.
"What about Toni?" He was clearly exasperated at Miranda.
"Can I go see her? Just to make sure she okay."
"Trust me kid she"s fine. But if you don"t take my word for it by all means go and see for yourself." Miranda did a double take. What game was he playing? Was he just toying with her?
"Are you serious?" She wasn"t convinced. Miranda was almost positive there would be something there in the fine print.
"Yes Miranda I"m serious, you can have Carlos take you or you can call a cab. Choice is yours." Okay something was not right here.
"You"d allow me to catch a cab? By myself?" Her eyes were opened in disbelief. He just nodded and resumed eating his breakfast. Miranda was unsure whether she should believe him or not so she decided to play along. "Cool I"ll catch a cab."
"Sounds like a plan." Was Alec"s reply to that.
"Guys I don"t usually freak out, but this here now is f.u.c.king me up! You guys are totally weird so I"m outta here," with that Carlos still shaking his head left them alone.
"Master is this some kind of joke, because it"s not very nice if it were." Alec looked at Miranda seriously.
"I swear to you it"s no joke, and to prove it to you, you call me Alec now." He saw her confused expression. Let her be free, if she returned to him then he"d know in his heart she belonged to him. His heart was racing but it needed to be done.
Miranda definitely knew something was amiss, first the freedom then his name. Was he over her? Could he have overcome his obsession with her? Why now? Is it because she made that comment about him loving her? f.u.c.k! This was too much. Miranda eyed him suspiciously. He stood up and left to his office leaving Miranda struck dumb.
When Miranda finally decided on what to wear, she opted on a pair of leather leggings with a simple black top that sat loosely on her body. Her ankle boots and a long silver necklace that held a cross. She tied her hair into a neat pony tail and went to use Alec"s phone.
Entering his office Miranda felt a little lost. "Yes?" He looked up at her. Striking blue eyes.
"May I use your phone to call a cab?" He raised an eyebrow at her, this was it he was testing her and she failed miserably. To her surprise he handed her his mobile. "I don"t know the number." Alec took the phone from her, scrolled through it and dialed it before handing it over to her. While on the phone to them she whispered to Alec for the address not realizing she didn"t even know it.
That done Miranda thanked him feeling a little awkward. While walking out she remembered she had no money. "Um master?"
Alec raised his head again "Alec, its Alec now."
"Oh, um Alec... May I borrow some money for the cab please?" Alec took out his wallet and handed her a few hundred dollars, he also handed her phone over to her, "I don"t need that much sir," returning all but a hundred dollar note.
"Miranda return it to me when you get back, just in case you need the money," nodding her head she took the money, thanked him again and left.
Wow that was too weird Carlos was right. What the h.e.l.l was up with him? He was trying to distance himself from her. He was trying to let her go. Miranda felt a little sad, why couldn"t he just admit he loved her? Deep down Miranda believed he loved her. So why did he keep fighting his feelings for her. It was real, she loved him despite everything, she truly loved him. Why was it so hard for him to admit that he loved her too? And calling him Alec? That was just wrong, Miranda knew the irony of that but he was so adamant that she call him anything but Alec and now he suddenly wanted her to act like everything was normal. She"d talk to him when she returned. He would admit he loved her if she had to force it out of him.
Alec drew in a deep breath when she left. His heart was beating furiously. If she loved him then she would f.u.c.king return, and when she did he would never let her go again. If she didn"t return he had a tracking device inserted into her phone, he"ll find her and make her regret the day she left. Alec was very edgy he really wanted her to return to him on her own accord. If she did then he would tell her he loved her, because no matter how much he tried to deny it he loved her more than life itself. She was his completion. She would know when she returned to him... If she returned to him.
Wow Miranda was actually in a cab alone. He let her go. Not knowing how to handle the situation Miranda was a little nervous. She had every opportunity to flee and never return, f.u.c.k she could even go to the police, yes she could, but even thinking it Miranda knew she never do that. She would return to him and make him realize he loves her. She was as twisted as he was but who cares, one look from him and her insides would melt. He would beat her, hurt her, belt her and love her, as long as it was him alone inflicting anything on her she would allow it. Yep Miranda you"re a f.u.c.king m.a.s.o.c.h.i.s.t!
Arriving at Toni"s place Miranda was unsure if she had made the right decision. Maybe she should have called first. Knocking on the door Miranda waited patiently she heard noise coming from inside so she knew she was home. "Toni open up it"s me Mira!" She heard more noise than footsteps, the door opened. It was Chris looking very s.e.xy in his jeans that sat low on his waist, and his bare chest. "Chris hi! Wow wasn"t expecting to see you here."
"What it"s been like five months has it? I"m surprised you remembered my name." Miranda felt a little guilty. Chris moved so Miranda could enter. She walked into her best friend"s house like she did a hundred times before. "Is Toni home?" Chris followed her to the living room. The place was cluttered and messy. It was unlike Toni to leave it in this state.
"She didn"t tell you?" Miranda shook her head a little confused.
"Mr. big shot gave her a very large payoff for the divorce. She moved to Australia. Needed to get away. She told me everything Mira! She told me how you were deep in love with her husband that you ruined them. You just couldn"t let her be happy."
"Chris did Toni say that to you?" Miranda wasn"t sure how to handle this. Why would Toni be so nasty? Alec said she blamed herself for everything.
"She didn"t need to. Why Mira? Why wasn"t I enough for you that you needed to f.u.c.k up Toni"s life! I could"ve made you happy, it seems you like the dollar signs more than true happiness."
"Chris I"m going to pretend you didn"t say that. I"ve always valued our friends.h.i.+p, but that"s not fair, you know nothing about me nothing at all! "
