Chapter 63

• The Punishment
• Mandy’s POV
• I raise up to my feet and peel off all my clothes without being told to. I bend my upper half of my body over the mattress and just lay there waiting for Matteo’s first strike. The first hit is always the hardest. I try to slow down my breathing but no avail. I hear the jingle of Matteo’s belt buckle behind me and I tense up even more. My mind tries to distract me like always so thoughts of MJ start playing in my head over and over again. I finally feel my body untense, and I get my breathing under control. As long as I stay here in my happy place no matter what Matteo does to me, I will be ok. Matteo’s voice snaps me back to reality. “Mandy, are you fucking listening to me?” Not having any clue what he just said and to scared to admit it, so I just keep quiet. Worst possible mistake I could have made. Matteo grabs a fistful of my hair and yanks me backwards. Now my back is arched and I’m in an awkward position.
