"Take her," the dangerous man orders casually, like I'm the most boring little human he's ever encountered in his life.

"I said stay the fuck away!" I yell at him this time, causing him to tilt his head in amusement.

"A little girl like you shouldn't be swearing at your elders. It's bad habit. Your daddy should have taught you better."

Hold on. My daddy. And if I heard correctly the first time, the other man had mentioned something about 'daughter' and 'grown woman'. Shit! What's going on? This must be Darius Hunter! And how do they know about my existence!? Oh no! My father! Have they taken him? Have they hurt him?

"Darius... Hunter?" I stutter in sheer terror, the dangerous man tensing as I mention his name.

"You know my name. I don't know if I should be impressed or disappointed," Darius chuckles, amusement seeping into his tone.

"Errrm... I... Where's my father...?" My demand sounds more like a plea, my voice shuddering in painful anticipation.

"Waiting for you at my place. He said we should come get you. I didn't expect you to be old enough to beat up my man. I am definitely impressed, and your value, my dear, has just gone up."

Her Master's desire

"What were you two talking about?" Jessica demands, hands planted on her hips, eyes practically sparking with suspicion. Her voice is sharp enough to slice through glass. "I separated you two for a reason, Allison. She's not as pure as you. I don't want her corrupting you."

Wow. My innocence seems like some prized relic everyone's guarding. But the rapid thud of my heart distracts me too much to dwell on it.

"Just... friend stuff." I keep my voice casual, though my pulse betrays me. "We were catching up. We kinda miss each other, you know? It's normal."

Jessica raises an eyebrow, clearly unconvinced. "Really. Just 'friend stuff.' She didn't ask you anything about... us? About how you became my girlfriend?" Her gaze pierces through me like she's waiting for the smallest flicker of dishonesty.

I hold my ground. "She did," I say, keeping my tone even, hoping honesty—well, half of it—will keep me safe for now.
