3 months later

Fresh air. The smell of pine, citrus and fresh leaves just consumes my every cell forcing my lungs to

expand and inhale the glorious scents.

It’s refreshing, too bad I can’t enjoy it as I frantically look around searching the garden around me. I

quickly whipped my head to both sides looking to see if those big burly men that wear all black with the

guns strapped to their shoulders saw me scurry from the trellis near the balcony that connected to the

luxurious room I was held up in.

The cool night air does nothing for my nerves as my heartbeat starts to increase. I wait patiently

counting to 5. This is it. This is my chance. If I fail, I doubt they will ever let me see the sun again for an

exceptionally long time. I will not be bound to that bed any longer. 5….4…3…2..1!

I quickly dash across the vast open gardens. The silver glow of the crescent moon reflects off the

neatly trimmed grass and hedges. The smell of it just being cut this moming still lingers in the air mixed

with the rose bushes that line the walking paths. I just need to get to the tree line. The forest is thick

and should hopefully be my salvation. The sound of chirping crickets is all the sounds I hear amongst

the rapid beats of my own heart and the soft thudding of my feet along the ground.

At the furthest edge of the garden is the bench under the big Magnolia tree that I was allowed to sit and

read on the good days. It was the only place I ever found some semblance of peace. The quiet

serenades would help transport my mind to the imaginary places of my books and allow me to revel in

the beauty of the literature and forget why I was there, in this house, with these mer

I stop briefly at my bench. To take a moment to check my surroundings. I made the mistake of looking

back at the house. Big mistake.

Standing on my balcony, illuminated by the moon of the sky and the harsh bright light of the room

behind them, stood the men I feared the most. All four of them.

Crap.

“ALPORA!” Kai calls out.

They had their arms crossed watching me in silence. Even though I was on the far side of the garden

and the darkness of the sky blocked out their stem gazes, I could still make out the challenge in their

features. They are daring me to

take another step.

I take a quick breath and lowes my head like I have done before giving them the impression that I am

once again submitting to them. But this time, not a chance! Defiance is my favorite hobby these days.

I look up and stick my tongue out, raising both of my bruised wrists in the air and holding out my middle

fingers.

on my heels and run into the forest behind me and under the

e cover of the darkness.

“AURORA” They call out again. This time I don’t look back,

I hear my name a few more times, slowly fading in the distance as 1 pick up speed. I soon hear the

familiar blow of the whistles and many shouting in the distance. It’s so dark under the canopy of these

trees. I stumble into fallen branches and hear the crunch of twigs and leaves beneath my feet. I was

smart this time and found a pair of Converse shoes so my feet wouldn’t be cut up. Just wish I grabbed

a jacket too. The air is crisp and would seep into my bones soon when I stop. A few scrapes litter my

legs and arms.

My chest is becoming heavy as I try to push oxygen into my screaming lungs. Every muscle is burning,

but I cannot stop. I swerve left then right trying to find a path.

“ALRORA!” Shit. They are getting closer.

I finally stumble and fall on a broken limb of a tree. My palms and my knees take the brunt of the fall,

my weight harshly pounding into the ground. I let out a small yelp and quickly tried to cover my mouth.

Ouch. That hurt! I take a moment to catch my breath and look behind me. I see small lights dancing

through the tree line. Four… no six… no….. FUCK A DUCK! I see at least 10 lights dancing towards

the direction I am in. Great! Simply great. They called in the dang calvary. Now the guards are looking

too. My breath starts to speed up.

Aurora! Come back now sweetie! You had your fun… Surrender now and you will only get the whip!

You know you can’t run from us! Was that Ben?

I stay silent. I quickly see a larger tree to my right with a small hole at the base. I quietly pick myself up

and crawl towards the tree trying not to make any sounds. Once at the tree, I am just able to pull my

knees to my chest inside the opening at the base. I cover my mouth with my cut–up hands and try to

breathe as slowly as I can to bring downI my racing heart. If I move, they will see me.

“AURORA! BABY GIRL YOU ARE IN BIG TROUBLE!!…. COME. OUT. NOW!” That was Jason. Fuck.

This is not good. They are so pissed.

And then silence.

Not even the chirps of the insects. I don’t hear any crunching of leaves or hollers from the men.

No shining lights through the forest reflecting on the trees.

I hold my breath. 1…2…3….I count to 60 silently, willing that they gave up.

Magivethey left? I close my eyes for a moment. I don’t hear them. I finally allow myself to exhale and a

small smile creases my cheeks.

I did it! I did it. Now I just have to get out of here. I crawl out of my little imaginary cubby hole.

“Well, hello sweetheart.”

FUCK! I exhale another big breath and drop my head.

“Too much?” I say sweetly, looking up at Charlie, who is standing tall next to me, his arms crossed and

a scowl resting

on his face.

“Just a bit,” he says with a glint of mischief in his eye.

“I’m about to have a really sore ass, aren’t I?” I question him as I stand up and brush off my bare legs.

He just raises an eyebrow at me with the you know the answer to that look.

I take a quick deep breath. “Worth it!” I state as he lifts me effortlessly and throws me over his shoulder.

My world gets turned upside down and I begin to struggle trying to get more comfortable. He gives me

a harsh little slap on my naked thigh as he starts back to the house. “OW!” I screech out and he slaps

my globes again. “You know the rules! No complaining” So I just hang there.

You see, after I was released from the hospital wing about a week after I woke up, they had given me a

choice. Even though they didn’t want to, they knew they needed to. They let me choose if I wanted to

leave them and return to my old life or I could stay with them, for life. They would protect me. They

promised me to be better and I made some conditions which they sort of agreed to. They gave me

more freedom. I now get to hang out with Chef at Saturn a few times a month, they let me experiment

in the kitchen whenever I want, and I can go out whenever I want, as long as I take like a small army of

armed guards, but hey, it’s better than being a prisoner! They also take me out on a proper date once a

week and when I am ready, I can return to school, online classes only though.

I have really grown to adore these men. They have continued my self–defense training and I have to

say, I look pretty badass in my yoga pants and the training ring if you get what I am saying.

I am still a total brat when I want to be. What can I say. I’ve become a pain slut. And I have found

‘escaping the compound to be my favorite game with them. Over the last 3 months, I have run away

and hid from them about 30 times, successfully got outside the house 5 times and made it past the tree

line now twice. I was supposed to be waiting for them in our room, kneeling and being all “good girl‘

submissive after they finished their late–night work at the warehouse, but I got the bright idea to test

the newest security systems. Never thought I’d get as far as I did. Must be my ninja skills.

I felt the temperature change and the soft grey glow of the moon was replaced with the softer amber

glow of the house lights. I barely register the bouncing on the stairs as I continue to be wrapped up in

my head. Running in the woods is tiring! I finally hear a few doors open and close before I feel myself

being thrown in the air and bouncing a few times on a very comfy bed.

A red bed. A huge red bed. Shit. We are in the Master Playroom. And looking down at me are my four

badass captors of my heart.

“Well, fuck me sideways and bake me a chocolate pie!” I exclaim as my eyes are as wide as saucers,

looking at the various restraints and pleasure items in their hands. Kai is wielding his favorite leather

flogger. Damn, that is going to sting. I just got rid of the last marks too!

“Oh, we plan to princess! That and so much more… Kai darkly says before they all pounce on me like

the tigers they are, Rawr!
