She looked up at me slowly and softly said, ‘No, I’m trapped here and completely at your mercy. What are you going to do to me?’ There was just ...nough of a tone of teasing in her voice that I knew she wasn’t scared. I leaned forward and whispered, ‘I think that I will do whatever the hell I want to you.’ I reached out and took her left nipple between my fingers and softly squeezed it.
