“Fascinating that you have yet to learn, I always follow through with my threats,” he whispers.
“Fuck. Off!” I shout, enunciating my words as clearly as possible beneath the tape. They’re muffled, but he heard what I said loud and clear anyway.
He grabs my face in his hand roughly and brings his face down into mine. Minty breath and a hint of smoke washes over me.
“Keep pissing me off, Adeline. I do enjoy hurting you. It’s music to my ears when I hear you cry.”
I struggle against him, muffled curse words spilling from my taped mouth.
Another chuckle reaches my ears.
“You’ve been a very bad girl, little mouse,” he drawls, his deep tenor vibrating through his throat. “And I do enjoy showing you what happens to bad girls.”
