Chapter 4 Not Boyfriend Material

The next morning, I woke up to Thane wrapped around me. I went to move when his arms got tighter around me as he pulled me closer, "Where do you think you are going?" I looked at him as I lifted my lips to his. I brushed my lips against his as I whispered, "Bathroom." He let me go as he groaned, "Go." I got up as he leaned up, "Your brother is going to stop by for lunch." I raised my eyebrow at him,

"You are not working today?"

He smirked, "The good thing is I am the boss." I shook my head, "Good thing." He got up from the bed in his naked glory as he planted his hand on my ass hard. I yelped as he lifted his eyebrow when he grabbed me by my waist, "Did I say you could make a sound?" I looked up at him, "No, Master." He smirked as he raised his eyebrow,

"No, I didn't."

He reached around as he grabbed the cheeks of my ass and lifted me closer to him, "Get dressed and I will order breakfast." I nodded without saying a word as he smirked,

"We have a lot to talk about."

I walked to the bathroom as he watched me. I swayed my hip as he moaned, "Bella, you are killing me right now." I turned my head towards him as he sucked in his teeth, "Go to the bathroom before I make you wait until I am done fucking you." I blushed as I walked into the bathroom and shut the door behind me.

I wrapped my sweater around me as I sat with Thane on the deck as the food was delivered. He smirked at me, "Come here and sit on my lap." He picked up a piece of watermelon as I walked over to him, "I want to feed you." I sat down on his lap as he placed the watermelon in my mouth. I moaned,

"That is good watermelon."

He groaned, "Princess, No moaning like that right now.

We need to talk."

I nodded to him, "Okay then let's talk."

He wrapped his arms around my legs as he pulled me closer to him, "I didn't realize the effect you would have on me. But I need to make sure that we are on the same page."

He sighed as his finger circled my knee, "I can't fall in love with you."

I pulled my head back, "Why?"

He pulled me back to him, "It is hard to explain."

He sighed as his fingers traced my jawline, "Princess, I like you a lot, but I can't fall in love with you. I am not boyfriend material." I nodded my head as I bowed it down.

He cupped his hand around my chin, "I will treat you well but not as your boyfriend but as your master." He looked into my eyes as I tried to hide the tears from him, "As your master and you as my slave we will not be with anyone else." I nodded as I turned my head, "Okay." He placed his hand on the back of my head as he pushed it towards him, "I will show you how to turn pain into pleasure but if anything is bothering you." His hand ran down my back, "You need to tell me."

I nodded, "Of Course." He nodded his head as he placed his lips on my forehead, "We need a safe word. Something that would make us stop what we are doing before it goes too far." I tilted my head, "What do you have in mind?"

He tilted his head as he thought about it, "How about Red Rover?" I smirked, "Like the game." He nodded, "Yes, like that game, Princess." I nodded as he sighed, "You can stay in the master bedroom but last night was the only night that I would sleep in that room with you." I looked at him, "Why?" He lifted me up off him as he got up and looked over the property, "Because that is what people do when they are in a relationship." He shook his head,

"Like I said I am not boyfriend material."

I shook my head, "I don't know if I believe that."

His hand tightened his fingers around the railing, "Don't, Bella." I sat down in the chair as I crossed my arms, "Don't what?" He shook his head as he looked down, "Don't try to fix me." He sighed as he tried to relax his shoulders,

"Many have tried, and they have all failed."

I turned my head, "Whatever." He snapped around as he walked towards me then leaned over the chair,

"Princess, you are walking on a fine line of me taking your pretty ass and placing it over my knee right now."

I raised my eyebrow to him as anger set in, "Do it."

He threw his head back and groaned, "You asked for it." He pulled me up from my chair as he sat down and threw me on his lap belly first. His hand went down over my shirt hard as I yelped in pain, "I don't make a noise, Princess." He lifted my shirt over my ass to show my bare ass as he rubbed his hand in a circle,

"Once I am done making this pretty ass of your red." His hand lifted again then strike me as I held my breath, "You are going to place underwear on." He rubbed my ass again then another one came down that made me jump, "Don't move." He sighed, "When I tell you guests are coming over, you are to wear panties." Another clap of his hand hit my ass as a tear started to roll.

"This is mine." He grabbed my ass as I looked up at him when his eyes went wide. He had me lifted off him as another tear came down. He reached out to me as I backed away, "Bella, why didn't you use the safe word." I shrugged my shoulders as he shook his head, "This is why we have it." He sighed, "I never want you to feel like I am hurting you which means you need to speak up and use the safe word." I turned away from him, "Bella? Talk to me." I shook my head,

"I just need a moment."

He sighed, "Of course."

I walked into the house when he cleared his throat as I turned to him. He clenched his hand, "I am serious about you placing on your underwear. You are mine and no one can see it or touch it." He stepped closer to me,

"Even if you are thinking about playing with yourself.

You need my permission." I nodded as he shook his head,

"Bella? Use your words."

I sighed as I looked up at the ceiling, "Yes, Master."

He nodded as he smirked as I went to the bedroom to place my panties on as Thane asked me to do. I sat on the bed as I shook my head as I looked around. I couldn't help feeling myself needing Thane's touch but don't know if I could do this whole Master thing from the abuse that I've been through. I took a deep breath before heading back to the kitchen.

Thane raised his eyebrow as he took a sip of his beer as I went into the fridge for a water. I bent down to take one as I felt his fingers glide up my shirt as he traced the hem of my panties as he chuckled, "Good girl." I straightened back up with my water in my hand as he placed his hands around my waist to close the fridge door as he whispered into my ear,

"You will be rewarded for being a good girl and placing your panties on."

I nodded when I turned around to him when he smirked, "Where would you like your reward later on?" I smirked at him and forgot who I was getting sassy with, "In my mouth." He groaned, "In your mouth what?" I tilted my head, "In my mouth, Master." His hands gilded around my ass as he pulled me closer to him as he gently massaged my cheeks.

"I should have gone easier on you and I am sorry." He sighed, "You have this effect on me where I want to lose it."

His lips were close to my face but not touching me as he breathed slowly against me as he whispered, "You make me want to make all your pain go away." I turned my head towards him as he leaned into my lips softly, "I am going to find out what pain you went through." I shook my head as there was a knock on the door when he kissed me on my temple.

Thane walked out into the living room with a couple beers as he handed one to Mickey and Jessie, "How have you two been?" Jessie smiled as Thane handed me a beer as I took a sip, "We are better than before." I narrowed my eyes at Mickey when he threw his hands up, "We had our issues but were able to work them out." Thane placed his hand on my knee as he squeezed, "That is great." Mickey tilted his head as Thane kept his hand there, "So, how have you two been?"

I looked at him, "Fine."

Mickey chuckled, "Looks like you two have gotten closer from yesterday."

Thane took his hand off my knee and sat back as he laid his arm around my shoulder, "Making progress." I snapped my head at him as Mickey tilted his head to the other side, "Progress on what?" Thane circles his finger on my shoulder, "Getting her to open up." He chuckled as he sips his beer, "Taking risks." Mickey nodded his head, "Good it is about time she opened up about the abuse that her mom and all her mom's husbands placed Isabella through." Thane eyes darkened and narrowed towards me,

"There was more than one husband that abused, Bella"

I shook my head as Jessie narrowed at Mickey when I realized that she knew what happened. She knows about my mother's husbands trying to get me to sleep with them. I was lucky I was not actually rape by any of them, but the abuse left physical scars and deep emotional ones. I threw my hands up as I thought about the scars that Thane said nothing about that he saw.

"How much do you know, Jessie?"

She sighed, "I know that you didn't give any of them a chance to rape you but..." I placed my hand up as Thane got closer to my face, "Princess." Mickey shifted his seat uncomfortable, "Sorry, Isabella. I had to tell her. I didn't mean to but when I caught her cheating and.." she sighed, "The midnight calls that you did I thought you and Mickey were sleeping together." Thane looked at Mickey as he looked down, "I had to tell her about the nightmares and that you would call me just to talk about them." Thane tightened around my shoulder as I looked away.

Shit... Shit... Shit...

He is going to know all of it. I don't want him to treat me differently because I am broken. He is pushing me out of my comfort level. His fingers tightened against my skin as I whispered, "No more, please." Jessie sighed, " He told me about the bruises." I looked at Thane as he clenched his teeth as I whispered to him, "Red Rover." His eyes widened as he cleared his throat, "Who is hungry?" Thane smacked his hand down on my knee with a smile then lifted off the couch. I forced a small smile when he held his hand out to me, "Let's go out."

Mickey smiled, "That is a good idea." I nodded to Mickey and turned to Thane, "I will get my sweater."

He nodded as I turned and walked down the hall as tears fell.

I grabbed a sweater when I turned to see Thane standing in the doorway, "You okay?" I nodded, "I will be fine. I just have a hard time talking about." He nodded, "I get it but if you need to talk about then you can come to me." I shook my head,

"Wouldn't be something someone would do in a relationship?"

His eyes went dark and he looked behind him then fully entered the room as I walked up to him as I zipped my sweater, "You need to trust me which means you need to talk to me about everything." His hand touched the fabric of my sweater. He leaned over and whispered,

"Let's go so I can get you back here and fuck you hard so you can't feel it anymore."

His husky voice made my juices flow in between my legs. He smirked knowing what he just did. He chuckled as his hand sneaked into pants and cupped around my pussy.

"Just as I thought. Soaking wet just my me saying how hard I am going to fuck you."

He pulled his hand away then walked to the nightstand. He pulled out a sliver bullet and walked back to me. He held it up,

"Training starts now."

I tilted my head, "What are you going to do?"

He smiled at me, "It is not what I am going to do. It's what this is going to do to do you."

He turned as it gave a low vibration then slid his hand back into my panties. He slowly gilded against my clit and gave it a gentle push as it pressed against me. I let out a small moan as Thane shook his head,

"Control yourself, Princess."

I nodded my head as he pushed it into me then slid out his hand. He walked back over to the nightstand then held up a remote and pressed a button when the silver bullet picked up speed as I breathed heavier. He smirks when he walks to me placing the remote in his pocket.

"That is to stay in you during lunch."

I nodded to him as he smiled, "I see a tear or you start shutting down, then the speed will pick up."

I looked up at him as I nodded,

"If you moan out loud then the speed picks up. Until you

Control it."

"Yes, Master."

I said as he smirked and placed his hand on my face. He leaned forward as he placed his lips on my forehead,

"Good girl."

We walked out of the room as Mickey got up from the couch, "Everything okay?" I smiled at him as I felt the bullet vibrating deep inside me as my voice squeaked, "Everything is fine." I felt the bullet get stronger. I narrowed my eyes at Thane as he gave me a satisfying smile.

Mickey tilted his head at Thane as he gave you know what was going on look at Mickey. Mickey shook his head and walked up to Thane as he placed his hand on his shoulder, "You sir is a sick man."

Thane threw his head back as we walked out of the penthouse, "You know me too well my friend."

We walked in the fall air as Thane and I walked side by side. Jessie and Mickey walked hand and hand in front of us. I looked up to Thane, "Mickey doesn't know about what we are doing?" Thane smiled as he whispered, "He knows that I am into the Master scene just doesn't know to what extent." I blushed as Mickey held the door open as his eyebrow lifted as Thane gave him a small smirk.

We were seated at our table as our food came when Mickey asked, "Isabella, are you going to still work at the café?" Thane looked at me as his head tilted when I answered him, "That is the plan." Mickey sighed, "I really wish you would work at the one at my office." Thane nodded, "I have to agree. With this guy Steven on the loose, you never know when or where he will pop up." I shook my head, "I can't change everything in my life because of fear. I am tired of running." Thane hand gripped on to my knee under the table as the speed of the bullet raised. I narrowed my eyes at him as I whimpered.

"That is not fair, Thane."

He leaned over as he whispered to me dangerously as if it were a warning,

"You are transferring over and you will be delivering my coffee every day."

I shook my head as the speed increased. I quickly took a bite of my food to let out a moan, "Oh that is good." I forced a smirk as I placed the fork down and placed my hand on Thane's knee then squeezed, "Fine. I will switch over to the café in your building." I whispered into his ear as the speed decreased and I could breathe again. He chuckled,

"Now, that was not so hard now was it."

Mickey's eyes widened as he smirked at Thane, "And that is all it took. Damn Thane, I should have introduced you when I met you." Thane smiled, "Speaking of meeting people, my mom is having Thanksgiving at the mansion this year and wants you to come Mickey."

Mickey nodded as he looked at Jessie, "What do you think, Babe?" She smiled, "I would love to meet your Aunt." Mickey clapped his hand, "Then it is done. We will join you Thane and Isabella." I looked at Thane feeling panic that I will be meeting his family. I was starting to feel like this whole relationship not happening was bullshit. I couldn't tell him that. He would deny it every step of the way. He studied my eyes as he tilted his head realizing what I was thinking. He leaned over,

"Don't let your pretty head go there. It is only dinner."

My face fell as I nodded then shyly looked up at Mickey as I can see the sadness in his eyes. Thane excused himself as his phone rang. Mickey looked at me, "Are you sure you're okay?" I smiled at him, "Yes, I am fine." Mickey tilted his head as he whispered, "I know that Thane can be intense at times, but I can tell he cares for you." I nodded my head, "Oh, he is intense." Mickey shook his head, "God, Isabella, please don't tell me anything that he does in the bedroom with you." Jessie's eyes widened,

"Wait, you and Thane are doing the..."

I held up my hand, "I am not saying anything." Mickey shook his head, "Just be careful Isabella." He sighed, "I don't want to see you, or he get hurt." I looked up at the ceiling as Mickey sat back and Thane returned to the table, "Mickey that was Georgia, she needs to meet with us tomorrow. She confused on some of the reports"

Mickey rolled his eyes,

"What the hell, how are the reports off?"

Thane shrugged his shoulders, "Apparently, someone is skimming off the top, so we don't notice." Mikey's eyes went wide as I looked up at him, "Technically the person is skimming at the bottom, so the top keeps the illusion up until someone goes digging into the bottom." Thane raised his eyebrow at me, "How do you know this?"

I shrugged my shoulders, "The women who gave birth to me made me get odd jobs and skim things off the bottom.

I would just take enough that didn't raise an eyebrow then move on." I looked at Mickey, "The only time I got caught was when Mickey caught me." Thane looked at Mickey, "And you decided to take her in." He shrugged his shoulders, "I could tell that she hated what she was doing and had no choice." Thane nodded his head as he took a sip of his wine

I chuckled, "The only thing my mother did not know was that not only I was skimming from the bottom of companies she would get me into, but I was skimming off her bottom." Thane chokes on his glass of wine, "What?" I looked up at him, "I was planning to run away when I met Mickey." Mickey smiled at me, "She just had another way out after she met me."

Thane looked at Mickey, "You think she could see where we are being skimmed at and who maybe is doing it?" Mickey smiled, "She is a very bright girl. She can definitely tell who and when they did it." I shrugged my shoulders, "You want to be careful, too."

Thane sat back as I looked up at him as his eyes questioned me.

I replied to him, "It could be an honest mistake if it is a very small amount. I have to look at the company to look for a pattern that would suggest the money was being stolen."

Thane slammed his hand on the table, "Fuck the café. You are working with me on this. You are going to be my eyes." I shook my head,

"I can't take a job from you too."

I squirmed as the vibration increased again as I took a deep breath, "I get it. I will take the job." Thane smiled and leaned over to my ear as he whispered,

"Good girl."

I rolled my eyes as Mickey and Jessie both raised their eyebrows to me. Jessie's eyes darted between me and Thane as she asked, "So Thane, are you going to take Isabella to the winter ball in December?" Thane looked up at her as he sat back and slid his hand up my thigh,

"I wasn't thinking that far ahead but yes I am going to take Isabella to the winter ball."

He smirked as her face went into shock, "You know there are going to be a lot of disappointed single women out there." He tilted his head at her as she shrugged, "You have never brought a date before."

I looked up at him as she took a sip of her wine, "Well, then it is about time that I take a date to every party I go to now on." He winked as I tilted my head in confusion,

"What other parties do I have coming up that I need to prepare Isabella for."

He smirked as he placed his finger on the chin, "The Winter ball then there is the Christmas Party at the office." He tilted his head, "Then there is the New Year's Party." Mickey chuckled, "Let's not forget about the Valentine Party that Christine uses to get you matched up with someone." Thane rolled his eyes, "Yes, then she will have to stop trying to set me up because I have my Princess now." His hand gilded on my upper thigh when he dug his nails into the demi of my jeans.

"What do you say, Princess?"

I shook my head as he increased the vibration again as I looked at him with lust in my eyes from the back and forth of the vibration in between my legs,

"Yes. I would love to attend."

Thane smirked as he decreased the vibration of the bullet as I can feel that my panties are soaking from it. I took a sip of my wine when I looked over to the side and noticed a familiar face. Mickey noticed that I was fixed on the man. I could see him look at Thane as he darted his eyes over to follow my eyes.

Thane leaned over to me, "What is it?" I shook my head as I didn't want him to know that my abuser was here. Thane got up from the table and walked over to the man. Mickey followed him as Jessie looked at me. I whispered to her, "Steven." Her eyes got wide as she looked back at Mickey and Thane as they sat with Steven.

I kept my eyes fixed on Jessie when I heard Mickey, "You come near her again." I looked over as Thane got up from the table and leaned towards him then Thane looked over to me. He said something as Steven looked up at him in fear. Thane finished his conversation as he walked back over to me with Mickey when Steven walked by him,

"Remember that was just a warning. You come near her again. I will make that warning a reality."

Steven nodded his head as he ran out of the restaurant. Thane clenched his teeth as he watched him leave then leaned down to me, "Time to go home, Princess."
