Chapter 13

• Upon awakening, Annalisa found herself face to face with him, his lips curved into a smirk. He was without a shirt and shoes, she noted as her gaze traveled downwards. Then she realized that she was, in fact, completely unclothed. And then it dawned on her that her arms were raised and handcuffed to a bar above her.
• Her feet were positioned on a platform, spread apart, with her ankles cuffed to bars running down the length of the structure she was on. She was exposed and spread open, her entire body on display for him.
• "Ian," she started to say but he brought a riding crop down against her right breast. She gasped, wondering where the whip had come from as it hadn't been in his hand a moment before.
