“So I can see…”

He seemed as if he were deep in thought, wondering just what he was going to do with them…

They were having way too good a time to suit him.

And he thought, well, if that was the case, maybe a little reverse discipline might be in order.

He came over and stuck his hand out.

Reluctantly, but instantly obedient, Laney took his hand and she allowed herself to be lifted off the bed.

“You’ve been a bad chambermaid.”

She swallowed hard as she lowered her head.

“I know…”

“And you know what that means…”

“I’m so sorry… so sorry… really…”

“It’s too late for that, I’m afraid…”

“God…”

“You’ll have to come with me…”

“Please… please…”

“No good… I’m the head guy around here… the king of this jungle… and you have to obey my every command…”

“Ohhh…”

Christina couldn’t believe what she was seeing and hearing.

And then, finally, she was watching… she was watching as Laney was led out the door.

Now Christina was alone.

She didn’t understand it.

She didn’t understand what was going on.

But she knew that whatever it was, she wasn’t very happy about it.

She was a little worried, in fact.

She hoped that Ian didn’t hurt the girl.

She had no idea how long she was going to have to stay this way.

Not long, as it turned out.

Now, Ian was returning… returning into the room.

He came over to the bed.

Christina was scared…

Scared that whatever punishment Laney was undergoing, she was going to have to take it too…

But that wasn’t exactly it.

Not exactly.

“What… what’s going on…”

“I’m going to have to… take you inside…”

God!

She didn’t want to be hurt any more…

She was the victim!

Didn’t he understand that!

She had no control over what had happened…

God… was this nightmare ever going to end?
