Jim returned the bread to its plate, sliding it aside, and rose to fetch Maria’s whip from the nearby table. With a flick of his wrist, he cracked the whip, eyeing the array of torture implements adorning the walls.

“I’m thinking about soaking your whip in saltwater and delivering a daily flogging. Of course, I’ll summon a physician afterward. I won’t allow you to die so easily.

“Give me a moment. I think an idea is coming up.” Jim circled behind Maria.

Maria’s expression shifted subtly.

Returning to face her, Jim concealed the whip behind his back, leaning in with a menacing grin.

“Considering your gender, I’ll exercise some leniency. Just tell me your preferences, and I’ll ensure my selections meet your satisfaction.”

Maria stood her ground. “Your threats won’t intimidate me. Kill me if you will! I’m not scared of you!”

Jim countered, “There’s no need to hurry. Every instrument on these walls is reserved for you. Once we’ve exhausted those, the leopards will have their turn.”
