Only a dead silent room answers me. But I don’t dare to raise my head, so I remain like that. My heart hammers against my ribs.
Kaden lets the silence stretch for another few seconds. Then he snaps his fingers.
“Look at me,” he commands.
With my pulse thrumming in my ears, I slowly raise my gaze to his.
A satisfied smirk curls his lips, and his eyes light up with malice. But some of that terrible danger that radiated from him before has eased now. “Good choice.”
I let out a tiny breath, full of shuddering relief. But it’s short-lived as Kaden continues speaking.
“Tell you what,” he begins, that wickedness still gleaming in his eyes. “Since you chose the only acceptable course of action, I will give you a chance that I have never given anyone else before.” Challenge creeps into his tone. “If you can take your punishment without making any noise, I’ll let you live.”
My heart leaps into my throat. Punishment? Let me live?
But I’m in no position to argue, so I just nod quickly.
A smug huff of laughter escapes his throat.
“Take off your clothes,” he says as he starts towards that tall cabinet.
Fear, combined with a very strange thrill, races down my spine. After getting to my feet, I grab the hem of my summer dress and pull it over my head. It flutters down and lands on the floor in a pile of pale violet fabric.
Metal clanks from where Kaden is standing in front of the now open cabinet, but because his muscular body is blocking the view, I can’t see what he’s doing.
I glance down at my underwear, and hesitation whirls through me. He said take off your clothes. Does that mean all of them? My gaze darts back to Kaden, and I make a split-second decision.
Right as he turns back towards me, I toss my final remaining garments onto the floor as well.
Heat sears my cheeks as Kaden stops and rakes his gaze over my now completely naked body. Then he smiles.
“Look at you,” he says, sounding pleased. “Capable of following orders.”
My clit throbs when his gaze drinks in my body as he looks me up and down again. No one has ever looked at me like that before. As if my body is a work of art. Something to be appreciated. And not as something that’s just a liability that will break at the first hint of pressure.
He walks back to the middle of the room and then twitches two fingers at me in silent command. I move closer.
“Just so you know,” he begins. “If I had turned around and found you still in your underwear, I would’ve doubled your punishment. But it looks like I was right about you. You are an intelligent one.”
The combined threat and praise does strange things to my chest.
But before I can figure out how to reply, a dull thud sounds as Kaden drops a spreader bar on the floor. It has two metallic arches at the edges, where I presume the ankles go. But there are also two smaller ones in the middle of the flat bar.
“On your knees,” Kaden orders.
I lower myself to my knees before him. A half smirk tugs at the corner of his lips as he watches me for a second before he walks around so that he is standing behind me instead.
Lightning skitters across my skin as his strong hand suddenly appear on my ankle. I shift my body as he moves my legs until my ankles are positioned in the correct slots. Then he places his boot against my shoulder blades and shoves my upper body towards the floor. My heart thuds in my chest, and that strange throbbing sensation is back in my pussy.
Still on my knees, I’m now bent over so that my forehead is resting on the smooth wooden floor.
“Slide your arms between your legs and towards me,” Kaden commands from behind me as he removes his boot from my back.
I move my hands from where I was resting them on the floor beside my head and instead slide them underneath me and between my legs until my hands are sticking out behind me instead.
Kaden grabs my wrists and places them into the metal hoops in the middle of the spreader bar. Then he folds over the top piece and locks it.
My heart jerks in my chest.
