13: TESTING HER HYPOTHESIS?

She would rather remain a prisoner there forever than to face the rowen of such a hopeless thoughtless act, ever.

She counted the days that she had been in confinement, from the morrow she had woken up with a smarting pain in her ass, sharp and acute.

It was a pain so critical it had brought lots of tears to her eyes.

Her mind went back to that moment.

She ran over it all, all that had happened after she had awoken.

She remembered it all, clearly.

When she had arisen, she had winced in pain, not daring to sit upright on the bed despite its soothing softness.

Suddenly, like a witch, his face was looming over hers.

She stared up at his standing form, startled by him and the bareness of his chest as always.

Fear had overtaken her at that moment and she didn't know when she uttered what she said next.

'Please,' she had heard herself say then, a reflex action of protection which had been prompted by the fright that he had imprinted on her the night before.

'Keep shut!' he had shunned her harshly, his words curt and detached as he had reached out and turned her over.

He had raised the white shirt that she had been wearing and had quickly made to inspect her bare buttocks.

He had done so, running his fingers over it slightly.

He was applying pressure at some point as he had stared at every mark that he had branded on her beautiful skin.

She had winced occasionally as he had carried on, especially when the poking had hurt her too much.

She had borne it all.

And just when she had thought that he would go on forever, she had felt herself being lifted and carried like a baby.

She had been very surprised, so much that she had had to gasp out loud.

She had not been expecting such gesture from him at all.

Well, despite the shock of it all, she had not forgotten to cling to him.

She had wrapped her hands around his neck, her legs around his waist and she had equally rested her head on his shoulders contentedly.

He had taken her to his bathroom and had undressed her.

She had discovered then that a bath had already been prepared for her before their arrival to the bathroom.

It had been slightly hot and mixed with mint leaves which must had been allowed to sit in the bathtub for a long time.

She had sighed softly as he lowered her into the tub of mint scented water.

She had been instantly engulfed by its soothing quality which had eased the pain in her buttocks -just a bit.

Then, he had bathed her like the day before, but this time not with any canal purpose whatsoever.
