Jewel:
He pulls my hair from my face, and I attempt to open my eyes. He’s in
front of me; his hand on one strand of my hair that he pulls behind my ear. In
his expression is the sorrowful countenance. His lips are downturned, but his
eyes gaze at my own. “Fuck, I don’t think it’s broken, but—”
I cut him off because I couldn't care less about my face right now. “Why
were you looking for me, Maddox?” I ask, and it’s the first time I call him by
his name, and not sir or master.
“Precious, let me look at this first.”
I pull back and wince at the pain as his arm falls from my face. “No, you
were so anxious to get to me, so tell me why you were looking for me. And while
you’re at it, why don’t you tell me why you’d come out and watch us tonight of
all nights?”
I’m never this mouthy. I’ve been taught to respect authority, and I’m not
sure why I’m letting it out on him right now of all days. Actually, it doesn’t
take a PhD in psychology to figure it out. My father is ruling my life. I found
someone worth giving everything to, and he rejects me, only to interrupt what
could be a decent man in my life. Yeah, that pretty much sums it up.
“Are you sure you are a submissive?” he asks with an arrogant smirk on
his face.
“I’m tired of everyone thinking they know what’s best for me. That’s what
I’m sick and tired of.”
He hangs his head, placing his hand on my knee. “I’m not good for you. I
really am not.”
Pushing my chair back, I release myself from his touch. “And, yes, you’ve
made me painfully aware of this more than once. So, now that you broke my face,
and thank you very much for that, I’ll grab my phone and be on my way.”
I attempt to stand but fall in my chair when he pulls his seat closer to
me. “But here’s the thing, my precious gem,” he begins, lacing my fingers with
his. “I don’t want to let you go. It’s the right thing to do, but when have I
ever done what’s right?”
It’s my turn to drop my head as he says the words I’ve been wanting for
so long. “Am I too late, my precious gem? Am I too late to claim you as mine?”
