anywhere.
Blindfolded, she screamed, the sound garbled because in her mouth was a red ball secured by two black straps around her head. She wore only a pair of black panties.
In a quick sweep of my gaze around the room I saw all that I needed to see. More leather cuffs, chains, locks, rope, various leather straps, a small leather paddle, a black leather hood, an eye mask, a riding crop, and other items I couldn’t quite identify were all on the foot of the bed.
Colin made a choked sound from behind me and I clapped my hand over my mouth, trying to keep from laughing.
Where was the guy who’d restrained her like this? Maybe he was in the bathroom.
Given her futile flailing against the restraints and the garbled cries, it was obvious that Olivia was too pissed to be happy about her situation. I went to her, trying to keep my composure, when all I wanted to was burst out in laughter.
I moved forward to take off her blindfold and noticed the red writing on her black panties. I almost did start laughing but managed to control myself.
Flip Over to Spank
I tugged off her blindfold, and she stopped struggling. She looked shocked to see me and then her eyes quickly narrowed. She tried to say something but the ball gag was too big for her to talk around. I saw a clasp on one strap, near the ball, and I unfastened it. As pissed as she was, I was almost afraid to take it out of her mouth.
The moment I did, she shouted. “I’m going to kill him! He left me here. I can’t believe he left me here.”
Her face was flushed, perspiration on her skin, her dark hair sweaty at the roots.
“Who?” I said, trying to keep a straight face.
“Scott. That’s who.” Olivia glanced over my shoulder and saw Colin, who was grinning. “What are you laughing at, smoke for brains?”
Seeing Olivia like that and her total indignation was too much. It was also too Olivia. I started laughing so hard I didn’t think I could stop.
“Let me out of here.” Olivia narrowed her eyes at me. “Before I add you to my hurt-maim-or-kill list.”
“If I can stop laughing,” I said between gasps for air. “I think I know now what the collar and leash are for that just came in the mail.”
After this I had a feeling Olivia would be strapping down and collaring Scott rather than the other way around. If he lived through today.
I heard the sound of the front door closing. Apparently Olivia did, too, because she screamed, “I’m going to kill you, Scott!”
Colin peered around the doorway from the bedroom. He stepped back, out of the way of the male who appeared in the doorway.
He was a fairly tall, good-looking human in a gray T-shirt, blue jeans, and athletic shoes. He had dark hair that curled a little at the ends, and his eyes were a brilliant blue.
His rugged looks belonged to an outdoorsy, athletic kind of guy. The T-shirt stretched taut over his chest and biceps showed just how fit he was. I had to say, Olivia had great taste—at least in the looks department. I didn’t know about brains.
Right now the guy wore a sheepish expression. He was carrying a plastic bag with a drugstore logo and a paper bag of something that smelled like Chinese takeout. Knowing Olivia like I did, kung pao chicken, broccoli beef, and steamed dumplings was my guess.
“You must be friends of Olivia.” He looked from me to Colin. “This must look a little strange.”
“Kinda,” I said with a grin.
“Kinda strange?” Olivia shouted. “A lot strange is you leaving me alone. Get. Me. Out. Of. Here.” Olivia snarled each word. “And then I’m going to kill you, Scott.”
“You said you liked the idea of being left alone and not knowing where I was … and you wanted to experience a little fear.” Scott set the Chinese take-out bag on the nightstand closest to him while maintaining distance from Olivia. “Weren’t you a little scared?”
“That doesn’t include leaving me alone in my apartment cuffed to the damn bed so I can’t move, blindfolded and gagged.” She jerked against the cuffs, rattling the chains. “I can’t believe you took off. And you actually stopped to get Chinese food? Are you serious?”
He raised the drugstore bag. “You’re the one who forgot something at the drugstore and I had to run to get them—remember? And Chinese was right next door.”
Olivia growled
