“Oh, I’m sorry Mr. Harington, I didn’t know you have company.”

Marlena jumped when she heard the voice behind her, she thanked her lucky stars when she saw Dr. Harley standing by the French doors, wearing a black pants suit with matching shades. Fixing the top of her bathing suit, she started to stand up when Kit instantly grabbed her wrist and kept her down on the chair. “What is it Dr. Harley?” he asked through his teeth, exasperated tone in his voice. Marlena could feel his anger, as his fingers closed tighter around her delicate wrist, she tried to wiggle her hand away to no avail.

“I need to talk to you about Dr. Evan’s condition” was all she said. Marlena swung her head to look at the other woman. Oh..no..she though, I asked her not to tell him...she said she wouldn’t…

“Fine” was all he said while releasing her bound wrist. Marlena shifted in her seat, she exhaled and prepared herself to stand up, putting her palms to the chair as she did, her hip still hurt and standing up without support was still hard on her. In an instant he grabbed her wrist once more, grounding her back to the chair, “Our playtime is not over, Kitten, don’t worry” he whispered in her ear. It made her skin crawl.

Lifting herself to her feet, she passed Dr. Harley, trying to catch her eyes while doing so, hoping out of all hopes, she will stay true to her word.

 

Marlena arrived back to her room after spending the last two hours with Kit and his sick and twisted Manipulations. She walked straight to the bathroom to wash his touch from her skin.

After a long hot shower she changed into a sundress, that seems to be all there was for her to wear besides sexy Négligees. Grabbing her book, she went to the terrace to sit and read, trying to forget about all that has happened that morning.  Being outside with the breeze and the warmth of the sun on her skins was her only solitude of late. When she was outside, feeling the sun on her face, she could almost forget for a moment that she was indeed the prisoner of a twisted madman.

 

She pushed the thought of Kit from her mind and sat on the lounge chair. Opening her book, she tried to read but couldn’t seem to focus. Her mind drifted to the last time she saw her beloved John.

He held her in his arms, kissing her and holding her so tight. He told her how much he would miss her while she was in Fiji. She had thought about changing her plans and staying there in Salem with him, now she wished she had.

Closing her eyes, Marlena could feel the warmth of John’s arms around her and his soft mouth on hers.

Oh, how she longed to be in his arms again, safe from all of these horrors, she was so lost in her beautiful daydream that she didn’t hear Kit walking into the room.

“Hello again Kitten, enjoying your newfound freedom I see.”

Marlena jumped at the sound of his voice, she was hoping for a little more time free of Kit before having to face him again. Turning in her seat she looked up at Kit, “l was until you walked in.”

“Oh Kitten, put those claws away and play nice huh?”

“What do you want Now, Kit? I was just enjoying my book in silence, and I’d like to continue.” she rolled her eyes.

Kit walked towards her, on the way,  placing a big box on the bed, then he walked towards her. Grabbing her  upper arms he pulled her to her feet, squeezing painfully, “You are forgetting manners again Princess,” he said, “I suggest you work on that or I’ll have to discipline you.” Kit’s lips curled into an evil smirk.

Marlena’s body stiffens as panic and fear gripped her heart, her body started to Involuntary tremble.

He continued, “Besides, I have come to invite you to dinner, I even brought presents.” Kit pointed to the box on the bed.

“You need to Change into the gown I brought and fix your hair and makeup. I want you to look extra sexy for me tonight, Kitten.”

Marlena replied nothing. Fearing her mouth will get her in more trouble. Kit walked to the door, turning he said, “I want you dressed and downstairs in thirty minutes. We will dine on the veranda tonight.”

 

Fear gripped Marlena’s heart as she looked over at the long black box with the big red silk ribbon around it. Slowly, with shaky fingers, she lifted the lid. Under the tissue paper, there was a black silk dress. As she pulled it from the box, her eyes examining the flimsy piece of material.

Holding it up she saw that there was very little to this dress if, in fact, one couldn't call it a dress. There were two pieces, the top was a little more than a bathing suit top. The skirt, more of a wrap actually had a very high slit, and Marlena couldn’t imagine how one wears such a thing. The last thing she wanted to do, was to dress provocatively for Kit, he needed no encouragement. Knowing she has no choice in the matter, Marlena started to disrobe and put on the skimpy dress.

Looking in the mirror, she saw the small top that barely contained her breasts, there was more flesh spilling out the sides and front than what was actually covered. The top tied behind her neck. The skirt fell to the floor on one side with a split that came above her hip on the other. There was no way to wear panties with this thing, she thought.  The back of the dress was cut all the way out and dipped just above her ass, hugging her curves beautifully. A long silk scarf laid over one shoulder and went all the way to the floor, partially covering one breast.

Kit also left a pair of stilettos next to the box, they were very high and strappy. Gosh, she thought, she’ll fall off of these things and break her next.

She went into the bathroom and did her hair and makeup as ordered. Looking at the time, she saw she has only two minutes left. Walking to the door and slipped on the ridiculous heels and walked out.

 

Kit was standing outside, looking out over the gardens when he sensed her presence, turning, he was stunned by her beauty.

“Ahhh, Kitten! You do not disappoint. You look absolutely incredible. You make my dick turn to stone. I knew this dress would be perfect for you.” he smiled and placed his wine glass on the table, getting closer to her.

“Truthfully Kit, I’m feeling quite exposed, there is very little to this thing you call a dress. I’m uncomfortable.” her voice was avoided with emotion, standing there, wearing that dress made her feel exposed and scared. And for a good reason.

He stepped closer to Marlena, taking her hand, he spun her around slowly, looking her up and down from every angle. “Ummm Baby Girl, no one could wear this dress as well as you. You are so fucking hot. I want to lick you from head to toe.” he bit his lower lip as a big evil grin curled his lips.

Marlena pulled her hand away and stepped outside onto the veranda. Kit was closed behind.

He reached the chair and pulled it out for her to sit.

 

“I thought we would start with some wine before dinner, Stefano has a fine selection.”

Kit poured wine into both glasses before taking a seat beside her. He raised his glass and eyed Marlena, willing her to do the same.

“To the beginning of what’s sure to be an interesting and fascinating evening.” Kit clinked their glasses before taking a big sip. Marlena just stared at him not moving.

“Go on Kitten, you must drink to my toast.” He pushed the wine glass to her lips and tipped it forward, “Drink that,” he said. She frowned, and he tilted his head at her, threateningly. “Fast.” She sat up and tossed it back with a tiny gagging sound at the end.

Marlena swallowed the dark liquid, letting it warm her and hoping it will help to numb her mind. She has no idea what he’s up to, but she was sure whatever it was, it will not be pleasant. He filled her glass one more time and personally held it up to her mouth until she drank it.

“So, are you going to make me guess?” she spoke while looking over her glass at Kit. After their “conversation” earlier by the pool, Marlena was on edge, and now with the dress and candlelight dinner, her mind was going in all directions as to what his plan was. He always has one.

“Whatever do you mean, Kitten?” Kit asked, his lips lifting on one side, he winked.

He sent his right hand on the back of her chair and the other on to her thigh. Pushing his fingers between her crossed legs, making her place both feet evenly on the ground.

“Well, first you make me put on this ridiculous, uh, dress and “invite” me to dinner. You're all dressed up in a suit and tie..” she looked at his fingers, trailing along her inner thigh, he was too close to her center and her muscles tensed.

“Oh, you like this do you?” he looked at his hand and then into her eyes, watching how her pupils dilated, ” I do clean up nicely huh?”

Marlena let out an exasperated breath, looking to the other side, wishing he would stop.

Kit’s hand traveled further up, resting high on her upper thigh, he separated her legs a little wider than before, she could feel the cold night air on her most delicate place, he started to trace his fingers back and forth along her inner thigh again.

Quickly, Marlena crossed her legs effectively pushing his hand out. He let it pass without saying a word.

“I guess I just wonder what this is all about. Romance isn’t really your game,” she muttered.

“Oh, my Kitten likes to be romanced. Well, you are right, I don’t do the whole wine and dine seduction thing. Why should I? You are a sure thing, willing or not.” Kit pulled her chin around to him, his nails digging into her soft flesh.

“Tell me that you want me to fuck you, Kitten, I want to hear you beg for me.”

Marlena looked deep into his dark eyes, trying to appeal to his soft side if indeed he had one.

With a very shaky voice, she spoke “I can’t do that Kit. I have to have powerful feelings of love for someone before I can make love with him, and I don’t love you. I never will!”

Marlena jerked her face away from his grasp and shot daggers at him with her eyes.

 

“Oh, Kitten, we don’t make love. We fuck. We fuck where I want when I want and how I want. I will tongue fuck every hole in your body until you cum screaming my name. Then I will turn you over and fuck you hard and deep from behind while I pull your hair and smack your sweet ass. Does that sound like lovemaking to you, princess?”

 

Trying to hide her obvious fright, Marlena looked away.

“Besides Kitten,” Kit continued,  you have to admit you look amazing in that dress.”

“I would hardly call this a dress, it is barely more than window dressing. I can't even move for fear that something will fall out.”

He looked at her, his eyes roaming her semi-exposed figure.

“It is beautiful window dressing, and I wouldn’t mind at all if more of your creamy skin were to show.” he pulled her hips apart and moved up her thigh once again winking at her.

Marlena rolled her eyes and takes another sip of her wine.

"I couldn't help but notice you are not wearing any underwear, princess," he said suddenly, shooting a look at Her. "It wasn't because I wanted too...I couldn’t...".

"You know something baby, you gave me an idea," Kit said as he fixed his hair. "You will not be allowed to wear underwear until I decide you have earned that right.”

He was seriously saying she had to earn the privilege to wear fucking underwear. Kit really was going to try to take everything away from her. She grabbed her fork angrily and skewered a carrot, growling around the bite as she slid it into her mouth, rolling her eyes.

Kit stood immediately, pushing her chair back he roughly pulled her to her feet. Grabbing her chin .”Don’t roll your eyes at me, Kitten, I don’t like that one bit.”

 

Kit released her face and walked to the stereo, he pushed a button, and a song started to play. (I put a spell on you- cover)

“Dance with me my lovely.” Knowing that this was not a request, Marlena complied. He took her hand and pulled her arm up into the air slowly twirling her around.

She could feel his eyes as they roam over her body, and shuddered in fear. “What is he up to,” she thought, “this can not end well.”

 

He wrapped her in his arms, pulling her body firmly against his. He ran one hand down her back to her ass and squeezed, “Ohh Baby Girl, you feel so good. Your body drives me crazy.”  He leaned against her ear and whispered: “I will never grow tired of fucking you.” He slipped his hand between her ass cheeks and squeezed again.

Marlena jumped at the intrusion, but she replied: "The day I grow accustomed to your touch is the day I throw myself off the roof of that house.".

"I can imagine many worse fates for you than growing accustomed to my touch," Kit said,

slipping his hand back up to the small of her back his other hand went to her bare thigh, pulling it up to his waist. He ground his hips against her and dipped her, slowly kissing her neck.

Marlena wobbled on the one leg with the very high heel along with her healing wound. Keeping her balance was hard. She squeezed her eyes shut trying desperately to block out the feeling of his hands and lips on her body.

He pulled her tighter and whispered, “Don’t worry Baby, I won’t drop you.”

“Kit please, my leg…”

“Shush, Kitten just enjoyed the feeling of our bodies moving together, I know I am.”

Marlena pushed against his chest, “Please stop I can’t stand...How about we eat supper? I’m hungry.”

He ground harder against her, “So am I Baby.” He raised his eyebrows suggestively, grinding his hips against her once more he released her, and she stumbled back.

 

Guiding her back to the table they sat down and started to eat. Their plates were filled with salmon with saffron and a colorful vegetable garnish, their glasses with of deep red wine. Marlena sat in stunned silence, she couldn't drink, but if she wouldn't, he would know that something was up but if she would...

They ate supper although Marlena found  it hard to swallow with Kit staring at her like he was, she was afraid he could read her mind, “You’re awfully quiet Princess, is there a problem with your food?”, Marlena whispered under her breath. “No.. it’s the company.”

“What was that my sweet?”

“Oh, nothing, I was just thinking that the meal was excellent, but I am pretty tired... Would you mind if I turn in for the night?” she placed her napkin and hands on the table, stabling herself on her way to stand up.

He grabbed her wrist, “Oh Kitten I do mind, I mind very much. I have a surprise for you, and I’d like to show you now.” standing up, he pulled her to her feet.

“Kit, could this please wait? I’m exhausted...”

“Sorry, Kitten.” he started walking back into the house, dragging her after him. “I must share this with you tonight.”

 

All the while, Marlena tried to cover her body with the tiny scraps of material from her dress,

Kit stopped in front of the staircase and placed his hand on the small of her back, leading her up the stairs. “Where are we going?” she asked, worried that he will take her to her bedroom and do god knows what.

“Relax princess, I have a special room to show you.”

They walked down a long hall, at the end of the hall was a big oak door.

“This is what I like to call: A playroom. Stefano had big plans for you I guess and a wonderful toy selection”, Kit turned the knob and pushed the door open. He switched the light on and guided Marlena inside.

Marlena sucked in a harsh breath as her eyes dart around the room. “What was this״ she thought, horror in her eyes. The walls were adorned with various leather straps,  whips, and torture devices of all sizes.

“This is where the magic happens Kitten.”

 

Marlena’s eyes grew wide with fear as she surveyed the room, he reached behind her, taking a small riding crop from the wall, the kind a person would use when riding a horse. She couldn’t move, still taking everything in, she hasn't noticed his actions behind her back.

Suddenly she felt something going down her back and then up again. He ran the small whip down her back so that the flared ends of the whip lightly caressed her skin, lifting the whip he slapped it down on her behind, Marlena yelped as she turned to face him.

“You see, Kitten” he grabbed her arm, pulling her closer to him, he placed his palm against her perfect ass rubbing the red spot he was sure he just caused, “when done correctly, these items can bring pleasure as well as a little pain.”

“I fail to see how being whipped could ever be pleasurable.” she turned and took a few steps forward.

“I can demonstrate if you like”  he followed her, grabbing her forearms from behind and pulling her back to his hard chest, wiggling his eyebrows.

“No, thank you” Marlena answered quickly as she turned away from his hands, Kit grabbed her arm once again, leading her to a dresser of sorts. He pulled a drawer open and pulled out a chain with silver balls attached, he smiled as he ran his fingers lightly over the shiny metal balls.

“Do you know what this is for, Princess?” He rolled the balls up her arm then turns her around, so her back was to him.

She stifled.

Rolling the metal balls over her ass, he leaned into her ear, whispering,  “I insert these deep into your perfect ass and pull them out... one... by... one, very slowly while I’m fucking you. The orgasm you will have baby…” She shuddered at the thought and wished that she could move away, but his hand was like a vice on her upper arm.

 

“Kit,” she said softly, “do we really have to do this now? I’m really tired, and I need to rest.” she turned her heels to leave the room when he tightened his grip to her arms, “Oh Kitten, don’t spoil my fun, the tour will be over soon enough, then I’ll take to your room and tuck you into bed.”

Kit showed her more of his “toy” collection, then moves her to the center of the room, there was a large flat frame like a vertical bed of sorts. There were chains attached to leather straps at the top and at the bottom of the frame. He pushed Marlena’s back against the leather cushion and took one of her hands, he pulled it up over her head. Marlena’s breath caught in her throat as her fear rise.

“Kit wh-what are you doing?"

“I’m simply showing you how this works baby.”

“I think I have figured that out,” she spoke in fear, “please let go of my hand.” Marlena twisted, trying to free her wrist.

He moved closer, pressing his body tighter to hers, pressing her against the leather covered vertical wall, pushing his knee between her legs and pinning her. “I feel a demonstration is in order.” he attached one leather strap then the other, so her arms were pinned in a Y above her head. Marlena’s breath became labored as her heartbeat quickened in fright, Kit slowly ran his hands down her pinned arms, stopping at the sides of her breasts, he squeezes both while his lips kiss down the side of her neck. She wanted to fight, but she was paralyzed with fear, remembering too well what occurred at the dungeon.

“Kit please... please stop this, I’m begging you... Let me go.”

He grabbed her face within his hand, his fingers pressing into her soft cheeks, looking into her eyes,” Never Baby Girl, Never... never ...never.” he stepped back, admiring her standing there with her arms strapped to the board, his mind was racing with ideas. He saw tears forming in the corners of her eyes, but she won’t let them fall.

“Kitten, you make such a sexy picture, all helpless and teetering on those fuck me heels with your arms above your head. You know, this table lays flat and also can be raised up. Imagine the fun we could have.” he released her face, and she could feel his tongue along her earlobe.

She shivered.

“Kit please, my arms are hurting....” Marlena looked away from his intense stare, he reached his hand behind her back and pushed himself against her, kissing her down her throat and over the exposed part of her breasts. “God baby... I want to fuck you so badly.”

She started to sob, no longer able to hold it in. “Please Kit... please stop. My leg is hurting and so are my wrists.” Kit pushed back and wiped the tears from her cheeks, dipping his head and kissing her viciously.

Breaking the kiss he left her breathless, “I’ll let you go for now Kitten, but not because it’s what you want. I want you in top shape when we play in here next time. I have very big plans for us.” releasing her wrists, she immediately started rubbing them, while wiping her mouth with the back of her hand.

“Come my lovely, I promised to tuck you in.”
