Susie was naïve to believe that Terry would take her on this private tour and not try to fool around with her. And,
knowing her, she would likely be too shy and meek to properly defend herself from him.
I couldn’t let that happen. I couldn’t let her put herself in that position to start with.
Terry was only looking at her as a way to get to me. I wouldn’t let anything bad happen to Susie for my sake.

door and locked it behind me.
A large bed sat in the very center of the room. On it, attached to each of the four posts was a cuff. Two,

“We are both more comfortable here.” It was a command of stay, even if he didn’t actually say the word.

Think of everything you could have, if you agreed to be mine,” Terry said, voice all honey and venom. “You could
