Brooklyn

I choke down my desire and brace myself for whatever Aden is about to do.

Choke me? Slam me back down again?

Or...something more?

But Aden moves away from me. He takes a key out of his pocket and slides it under the metal table.

A mechanism snaps, and I feel a sudden give to my handcuffs as they are released.

Before I can pull away, Aden grabs the chain between the cuffs, taking control of my actions.

He says nothing as he starts moving towards the center of the room, pulling me roughly along with him. When we reach a spot where a short chain is bolted to the floor, with an open padlock at the end, Aden stops.

He slowly brings my manacled hands close to his face, my body pulled close to his.

"On your knees, Brooklyn," he says, his voice smooth and firm.

My mouth hangs open in disbelief.

Moments ago, Aden was rattled. How is he so calm now?

"I said," he says, his brows knitting cruelly together. "On your knees."

My earlier courage abandons me, and I begin to sink to my knees as Aden lowers his hand to allow me to do so.

Aden lowers one knee to the ground, maintaining eye contact with me.

Then, slowly, he raises the chain from the ground, wrapping it around the links of my handcuffs and sliding the padlock closed, creating a perfect circle.

I look down, realizing that I am once again contained, trapped, and at his mercy.
