Page 49 of Obsession (Dark Revenge)
Of course, there was the possibility he might opt for a gentler form of discipline, like a soft spanking, but that thought didn’t offer much solace. Oddly, the soft spanking felt more intimate and personal than the cane, making me feel even more vulnerable. As I cautiously glanced up at him, his phone stillringing, I couldn’t discern which method he would choose this time. The wicked smile on his lips provided little clue, although he did seem to be in a better mood now.
“W-What happens now?” I whispered, Jared unmoving as he remained inside me, the ringing continuing in the background.
“Now, I have work to attend to,” he informed me, withdrawing from me and leaving me dripping and exposed, sprawled on the table with my legs parted.
“Work?” I questioned, attempting to rise, but Jared promptly pressed a firm hand to my chest, keeping me pinned down.
He gave me a dark, almost sinister smile as he reached for his phone. I thought he might answer the call, but instead, he silenced it and turned the phone to face me. As the flash went off, it dawned on me what he had done.
“You did not just take a picture of me!” I snarled.
“But I did,” he taunted. “As I mentioned, slave, it changes nothing. While I’m aware you could potentially discredit any photos of your husband, this one holds a different power.”
“Oh, really?”
“Yes, indeed. Because, as you’ve pointed out on numerous occasions, women often lose in our world,” he reminded me, and regrettably, I couldn’t deny the truth in his words. My husband’s behavior could be excused, while any misstep on my part would be ruthlessly exploited.
“Y-You’re not actually going to use that, are you? I’ve been obedient,” I stammered, my confidence waning as I contemplated the consequences of that photograph circulating, which could jeopardize my career.
“Have you been obedient?” he mocked. “You did run off.”
“But you’ve already punished me for that!”
“Your recent attitude suggests otherwise.”
“You used your belt on me!”
“Yes, but it seems it had little effect, given your continued defiance.”
I struggled against his restraining hand, but he proved too strong for me, serving as a stark reminder of the shift in power dynamics between us. He was no longer the skinny boy, and I could never outmatch him in physical strength.
“Fine! You want me to apologize and bow down to you?” I offered in exasperation.
“It wouldn’t change a thing, for you seem incapable of learning.”
“For God’s sake, don’t send that, Master,” I pleaded, my voice filled with desperation. “You’re aware of the harm it could cause.”
“I’m aware,” he replied, his laughter taking on a dark edge. “That’s precisely why I’ll hold onto it for now.”
“You... You won’t send it?”
“Perhaps I will. We’ll see how well my slave behaves during the time we have left, and then I’ll decide.”
“Oh, you insufferable...” I started, but I stopped abruptly as Jared raised his phone, dangling it in front of me. I bit my lip hard, struggling to hold back the words I longed to utter.
“Yes?” he challenged.
“Nothing...” I conceded.
“That’s what I thought. We haven’t changed, Alison, but I do enjoy bending the rules from time to time. Don’t test me tonight.”
“You mean, don’t test you at all,” I whispered.
“We both know you can’t resist the urge. But be good tonight, and this picture will remain safely on my phone.”
“For now,” I sighed.
“Yes, for now.”
