Very, very slowly, Alex begins to move the knife away from my throat and then, with one deft flick of the blade, slashes my dress straight down the middle, slicing it in two. I gasp in surprise and horror as layers of material peel away and cascade to the floor like two delicate flower petals. I’m now standing in just my bra and knickers and a pair of Louboutin heels with my arm twisted up my back and my body pressed up hard against his. I can feel his heart beating, the warmth of his breath on my neck.

The reprieve doesn’t last long, however. Soon the knife returns and hovers menacingly over my chest area, goading, taunting me, and then with another lightning-quick flick, Alex tears open my bra, exposing my naked breasts for all the world to see. Finally, the dreaded blade moves back to my throat and Alex’s grip tightens almost to the point of strangulation.

“Now,” he says, stroking the metal against the contours of my veins. “I want you to tell me everything that bitch Georgina did to you at school. Tell the truth now because I’ll know if you’re lying. Be honest, what did she do to you?”

“She…she bullied me for years, did all kinds of terrible things. She turned all the other kids against me, made my life an utter living hell.”

“And how did that make you feel?”

“It made me…feel like I wanted to kill myself.” I say the last part in a whisper.

“Did you despise her? Tell me you despised her.”

“Yes, I despised her, I hated her guts!”

“You see?” Alex crows in triumph. “That wasn’t so hard, was it? Georgina destroyed your life so she deserved her comeuppance, wouldn’t you agree?”

“Y-yes…”

“Tell me you’re pleased I did it.”

“I-I’m pleased you did it,” I wince, beginning to feel lightheaded. Every part of my body aches and I don’t know how much longer I can hold this position.

Suddenly, he releases my arm, removes the knife from my throat and presses the tip of the blade against my spine. “All right, start walking. You lead the way. We’re going to your bedroom.”

Shaking with fear, I obediently follow orders and stumble down the corridor, Alex overseeing every step of the way with the knife pressed into my back. He’s drawn a little blood, I can tell, but not enough to cause any real damage. As soon as we enter my bedroom, he roughly throws me down on the mattress and then, not taking his eyes off me, slowly removes the belt from his trousers. As realisation of his cruel intentions hit, all my energy evaporates, and I’m near paralysed at the prospect of what is to come.

“Turn onto your front. But leave the high heels on. You’ve been a very, very naughty girl, Jessica, and I’m afraid I’m going to have to punish you just a little bit.”

“No Alex, please!” I beg. “I-I’m sorry I tried to attack you. I was just so frightened, I needed to defend myself…”

“Do as I tell you or else. You need to learn some respect and appreciate all the things I do for you.”

“I do appreciate you! Please Alex, you know I do!”

“No, you don’t. A few minutes ago, you said you didn’t want me anymore. You said you wanted me out of your life. You know it was so wrong of you to try to attack me when I’ve been nothing but good to you. I worship the ground you walk on, yet you’d happily stab me death?”

“No, you’ve got it all wrong. Please, you’ve got to believe me.”

Suddenly, the knife is pressed against my chin and very, very slowly, without making skin contact, Alex runs the tip of the blade down my throat, down my collarbone, down to the space between my breasts and then down to my abdomen before finally settling on my crotch. For a few terrifying seconds, the knife hovers there, Alex’s expression cold and unreadable.Oh, my gosh. What is he going to do next?

“Now, my sweet,” he rasps. “This can be easy, or this can hard. Either you accept your punishment like a good girl, or I’m going to need to think of an alternative that will be much more painful. The choice is yours.”

“Okay, okay, I’ll do it!”

“Good girl. Now turn over and prepare to accept your punishment. I’m going to give you five strokes of the belt. Just five, and then we’ll call it quits.”

Shutting my eyes, I flip over onto my front and wait anxiously for the reprimand to begin. Terror and excitement whip through my system, and my knickers are completely soaked through. Much as I hate to admit it, I’m turned-on big time by his dominance and find the terrifying unpredictability of his anger deeply arousing.

“Now tell me how sorry you are for trying to stab me,” Alex growls.

“I-I’m so sorry, please, I won’t do it again…”

Thwack!

The first lash of the belt hits my back with such savagery, I’m almost totally blindsided.Shit, that fucking hurts!

“How can I be sure it won’t happen again? How do I know you won’t pull a knife on me again?”
