“Up,” whispers an unfamiliar voice, followed by a light slap to your cheek. Your hazy eyes drift open, a pair of bright green eyes inches from your face.
You let out a sharp gasp, which hits against the stranger’s face. He smiles sinisterly, teeth unnaturally white. “Glad to see you have joined me.”
His voice is deep and gravelly, like walking down a stone path in a rainstorm.
It takes a moment for your senses to come back, and you suck in a deep breath. It’s almost as if he can read your mind because as you’re about to scream, he shoves a gag in your mouth.
“None of that, darling,” he purrs, and fear flashes across your eyes. You take a quick moment to assess your surrounding.
A quick tug of your arms reveals that you are bound, like a starfish, with each limb attached to dark stained bed posts. The bed has red velvet sheets. And you’re stripped down to your underwear, you notice, as a chill crosses your exposed skin.
