Chapter 5 Need to Redecorate

I stood in the living room as Thane looked me up and down, "How are you feeling?" I shyly looked at him as the bullet was still vibrating inside of me, "I need you inside of me." He shook his head, "Forgetting a word, Princess." He placed his fingers on my arm to travel down, "You will not get what you want until you say it."

I looked at him as I took a deep breath,

"Please, Master, I need you inside of me."

He moaned as his lips touched my neck, "That is what I was looking for." He brushed his lips on my neck, "Tell me, are you soaking from that vibration?" I nodded my head, "Yes, Master." He pulled back as he placed his fingers on the button of my jeans, "Let's see how soaking you are for me." He undid my pants and slowly pulled them down as he started to notice some of the scar marks I had. He clenched his teeth as his fingers ran up on the scar on my thigh, "How can someone place this here?" I looked up as he demanded,

"Look at me."

I looked down at him as he slipped my pants to the floor around my ankles. I held back my tear as he lifted and placed his hand on my sex over my panties, "These are soaked." He squeezed then ran his fingers to the hem of my panties to pull them down with my pants.

He lifted back up to me as he looked into my eyes when he lifted my shirt over my head. He threw my shirt across the room when he ran his fingers along my bra,

"Kneel."

I kneel as I squeeze my butt cheeks, so the bullet doesn't escape from inside of me as Thane looked down at me as he chuckled, "Good Girl." He tilted his head, "Hands behind your back and relax that pussy of yours." He placed his hand in my hair, "Let it drop." I released the bullet as it vibrated on the floor when Thane bent down and picked up. He sniffed it then laid his tongue on it as he moaned,

"This is delicious."

My hand laid against my back as I looked up at him and tilted my head. He walked around as he studied my body. "How did I miss this last night?" He bent down and ran his fingers along my mid back where there was a huge burn mark. His hand traveled up my back when he reached my head, he took a bunch of my hair and pulled my head back, "We are going to talk about that mark but first." He laid his lips back on my neck as I let out a moan. He chuckled, "Princess, Shhh. No noises." I swallowed hard as his lips made their way to my shoulder. He lifted as he let go of my hair then walked in front of me, "What was it you said earlier?" I tilted my head as he turned his back to me as I kneeled in front of him. He looked up at the ceiling as he gasped,

"That right, you said you wanted it in your mouth."

I raised my eyebrow at him as I heard him undo his zipper then turned to me, "Open that pretty mouth of yours."

I obeyed as he pulled out his thick hard cock as he stroked his shaft, "Good Girl." He tilted his head as he tapped his tip on the bottom of my lip,

"Let's see if you can take all of me in your mouth."

My tongue darted out as he slid over his tip as he moaned, "Eager are we, Princess?" I looked up at him with my eyes as he smirked, "Go ahead, Princess. Suck on me."

I placed my lips around his tip as he moaned, "That right. Take all of me."

I slipped my mouth around his thick shaft as I gagged a little to meet his base as he pulled back a little, "Slowly, Princess and you can use your hands." I brought my hands from my back and I held on to his base and gripped his balls in my palm. He threw his head back,

"Fuck, Princess. Don't stop."

I slid him in and out of me as I could taste his salty sweet precum when his hand grabbed my hair and pushed my head forward holding me there as his hips thrusted forward into my mouth. I closed my lips around him and sucked him hard as he moaned again, "Just like that, Princess. Just like that." I moved my head back and forth as I could feel his cock pulsate in my mouth as he finally released inside my mouth.

"Swallow it."

I nodded my head as I swallowed the thick creamy salty taste that went down my throat as I looked up at him. He smirked, "Good Girl." He bent down and threw my arms around his shoulders as he lifted me up into his arms as my legs wrapped around his waist. He shook his pants down then stepped out of them.

"Now it is time for me to take care of you."

He walked me down to the room as he kicked the door open and laid me onto the bed. He smirked as he leaned over to the nightstand and took out a silk rope. He laced the rope through the bedpost then tied my hands above my head. He took another silk rope and tied my legs to the bottom of the bed as he stood back,

"My god. Princess, I wish you could see yourself like I do."

He looked up at the ceiling, "I think I need to redecorate this room." I tilted my head at him as he positioned himself in between my legs, "Mirrors, Princess." He leaned down as he placed one finger into me, "So you can watch me fuck you." He slammed two more fingers that made me arch my back. I tried to close my legs as it pulled on the ropes holding me in place as his tongue found its way to the hood of me. I moaned as he placed his lips around me. He sucked as I quickly gave him a release, "So sensitive tonight."

I nodded at him as I moaned, "Yes Master."

His eyebrow shot up as he lifted back up,

"I didn't give you permission to speak, Princess."

He reached up as he grabbed my pink of my nipple and squeezed then twisted as I yelp in pain and pleasure, "I didn't tell you that you can moan or speak." I shook my head as I held in a moan.

He let go of my nipple as he towered over me. He teased his now hard tip against my entrance, "That my good girl." He pushed himself closer to my core as my hips moved. Thane looked down,

"Don't move."

I stopped instantly when he lifted my hips then he slid himself into me. Thane moaned as he slammed into me fast and hard. I felt him into my stomach as he kept on pushing himself into me deeper and deeper. We both released together in ecstasy as he pushed himself one more time filling me until he collapsed on top of me.

His lips touched mine as he untied my hands then pulled away to untie my ankles from the silky rope. My body shivered at the soft touch. He laid back down next to me and wrapped himself around me as he placed his lips on my forehead.

His fingers found the burn mark on my back, "Who did this to you?" I looked up at the wall as he held me closer to him, "Princess, Tell me." I looked down at his as I looked into his eyes as mine teared up.

"I can't."

I whispered to him as he shook his head, "Yes, you can.

Did Steven do this to you?" I tried to turn away from him, but he locked himself around me.

"Fuck."

He yelled at the ceiling as he pulled me into him, "He will never hurt you again." I placed my head on his chest as my tears ran down my face. He ran his fingers down my face, "It is okay, Princess. It is okay." I closed my eyes as I felt myself feeling safe in his arms when I drifted off.

For the past two weeks, Thane had been falling asleep in my bed and we were acting more like a couple than Master and slave when he was not 'training' me. I woke up as the sun hit my face as I squeezed my arms around him when he chuckled, "Good morning, Princess." I looked up at him and smiled,

"Good morning."

He bowed his head as he placed his lips on my forehead, "I got to go to the office for a couple hours." I popped my head up, "On a Saturday?" He shrugged, "What you found in the reports that you analyzed needs to be processed." He sighed, "I am starting an investigation in Ross." I shook my head, "I don't think it was him." He nodded as he held me tight, "I know but maybe if the investigation is known then the real person will know."

I rolled over as he rolled with me keeping his arms around me,

"Come with me then we can meet up with Mickey and Jessie."

I nodded my head, "I will come with you."

He smiled, "Good as I do what I have to do then you can look at the other accounts that may be getting skimmed." I nodded, "I would like to look at your earlier accounts." He raised his eyebrow, "How long do you think this has been going on?" I shook my head, "I am not sure but if I can find the pattern when it started then we can pinpoint who."

After a quick breakfast and shower with some playtime we arrived at the office. I walked up with Thane when we ran into Chris who has been there from the beginning, "Mr. Sterling, I didn't realize that you were going to be in today." Thane cocked his head, "Paperwork. Why are you here on a Saturday?" I looked up at Chris as he studied me as Thane took my hand to pull me into him,

"Chris, this is Isabella, she has been overlooking reports." Chris nodded as he got nervous and he nodded, "She's also the girlfriend that the office has been talking about, Sir?" I looked up at Thane puzzled as he cleared his throat, "Something like that" I tilted my head as Thane fixed his eyes on Chris as pried into the 'girlfriend' thing,

"So, you are not dating her because if you are not then..."

Thane snapped at him, "Don't even think about its Chris."

I looked up at him as he squeezed my hand, "We have to go." Thane walked me to his office as he slammed the door, "Fuck." I looked at him, "What is it?" He sat in his chair as he ran his hands down his face, "Do you think that Chris may be the one?" I shrugged my shoulders, "He could be." Thane threw his head back, "Start looking at reports when the company started and up from there." I nodded as I sat on the couch that was on the other side of the office as Thane got up and handed me my company laptop.

I have been looking at numbers for hours when there was a knock on the door. Thane looked up from his computer,

"Come in." A short stubby man walked in, "You wanted to meet with me today?" Thane smiled, "Ross, please come in." Ross walked over to the desk and sat down as Thane got up and handed him a file, "I have been having Isabella look into reports of the company."

Ross looked at me and smiled as Thane went back to sit down, "She found some questions in the reports with accounts you had handed." Ross looked at the reports, "Sir, I don't understand where you got these numbers. I remember these accounts." Thane held up his hand, "I don't think you did anything wrong, but I had to ask." Ross nodded his head, "What can I do to help?" Thane looked at me as I cleared my throat,

"Did anyone show interest or helped you with these accounts?"

Ross looked up as he thought, "Actually yes, Chris was very helpful on these accounts." Thane nodded at Ross, "I was afraid you were going to say that." Ross tilted his head, "My accounts weren't the only ones that he was interested in." Thane sighed, "This is not to leave this office, but he has been warned that we are looking into the reports." Ross nodded his head, "I can gain information from the other accounts that he hands in his hand into." I nodded as I picked a pen and paper then walked over to him, "I just need the name of the accounts that he worked on with others." Ross took the pen and paper from my hands as Thane watched me, "Of course Ms. Johnson." Thane tilted his head to me as he studied my stance when Ross handed me the paper,

"Thank you, Ross."

I sat in the back of the car as Leo and I waited for Thane to come down from the office. I tilted my head, "What do you think is taking him so long?" Leo shook his head, "No clue, Isabella." Leo looked down at his phone when Thane came out of the elevators and walked over to the car. He opened the door as Leo looked in the rearview mirror, "Everything okay, Boss?" Thane pulled out his phone, "Yes. We can go." Leo pulled out of the garage when Thane place his phone away and placed his arm around me,

"We are going to meet at the new club downtown."

I nodded as I laid my back against his arm. He circles his finger on my shoulder, "Tomorrow, I have something special planned." I looked at him with a sparkle in my eyes, "Oh?" He chuckled as he pulled me close to him, "It is a surprise, but we will be leaving for the airport after the club." I tilted my head, "I've never been on an airplane." I shifted nervously as he cocked his head, "You are not afraid of heights?"

I nodded my head, "I am." He pulled me to him as he placed his lips on my temple, "I got you, Princess." He skimmed his nails down my neck as Leo pulled up to the club.

Thane and I walked past the line as he went to the bouncer and whispered something into his ear then allowed us to go in. The music was bumping as we walked up to the VIP section as Thane smacked my ass as I walked up the stairs. I turned my face as I stopped on the steps as he brushed up against me.

"Princess, what are you doing?" he whispered.

I smirked at him, "I just love this song." I started to sway my hips as I walked up the stairs as he groaned, "You are in so much trouble when I get you on that plane." He rushed up the few steps that he was behind as he placed his hand on my hip as we reached the top floor. He dipped his head to my neck as he whispered,

"I am about to introduce you to the high mile club."

My hands reached back on to the upper thigh near his groin as I kept swaying my hips as I gave a slight push into him, "Is that a threat?" He chuckled as he placed his hand firmly on my ass as he pushed me forward to walk to our table, "Nope. That is a promise."

We walked up to the table when Mickey and Jessie got up to greet us. Mickey gave me a hug as Thane stood behind me, "Hey there she is. My favorite sister in the world." I giggle, "I am your only sister." He laughed as he shook Thane's hand then asked him, "Are we sure about Chris?" I looked up at Thane as he nodded, "When you think you can trust a guy."

I sat next to Jessie when Thane sat in the booth next to me, "I fired him before I left." I looked up at Thane, "I haven't finished..." He held up his hand, "I got a tip after you went down to the car." I shook my head, "I can believe it but also surprise." He nodded, "Police are looking further into the matter." Mickey sighed, "Damn, why would he do this to us after so many years at the company?"

Thane shrugged his shoulders, "He started because his wife got sick then stopped when she got better, and the bills stopped." He sighed, "Couple months back he overheard me and my mother giving a promotion that wasn't him. So, he decided to start it up again." I tilted my head, "That was what I was missing. Two years ago, the numbers were off, and I couldn't find a patterning that made sense." Thane nodded his head as Mickey looked at him puzzled, "What promotion and to whom?" Thane smirked, "I'm going to need my new President to watch over the company for a month after the New Year." Both Mickey and I looked up at Thane with questions as he

threw his head back,

"Mickey the promotion is yours if you want it." Mickey's eyes went wide, "Yes, I will take it but why do you need me to overlook the company for a month."

Thane placed his arm around my shoulders, "I am taking your sister on a vacation for all her hard work." My stomach gave me butterflies as I realized at that moment that I was falling in love with Thane; with the man that I call Master in the bedroom.

Mickey looked at me as I blushed, "Where are you taking her." Thane smiled, "Greece." I looked up with him as my eyes lit up, "Greece." He pulled me into him, "Greece, Princess." I threw my arms around his neck as I twisted my body to him, "Thank you. I always wanted to go to Greece." He placed his lips on my temple, "I know, Princess." I sat back happy as Thane leaned towards Mickey, "Do you think you can cover me on Monday also?" Mickey nodded his head, "I got you." Thane smiled, "I knew I was hiring the right man for the job." They clicked their beers together.

Thane and I got into the car as Thane looked at Leo, "I need to stop at the penthouse before we take off." Leo nodded as he drove off.

We pulled up into the garage and Leo parked, "Do you want me to wait here." Thane nodded, "Come on

Isabella." I followed Thane out of the car to the elevators as Chris came into view with a gun. I pulled Thane jacket as he turned his head, "Chris don't do anything stupid."

Chris gave a low dark laugh, "If this bitch didn't figure it all out. I wouldn't be here right now."

Thane placed his arm in front of me and pushed me behind him, "Don't you touch her."

Chris laughed, "I wouldn't dream of it, but I bet Steven would love to get his hand around this little slut."

Thane got closer to Chris as the gun touched his shirt, "You tell Steven where she is, it will be the last thing you do." Chris shook as he held the gun to Thane, "He willing to pay a pretty penny for her." I turned my head as Thane stepped closer to him,

"What do you mean by that?"

Chris shook his head, "I was supposed to take her to him. I thought..."

Thane placed his hand on the gun as he took it out of Chris's hand as Chris started to sob, "I am sorry. I can't do it. I can skim off the books but to kidnap someone, I just can't do it."

Thane nodded his head and with his voice dark and demanding, "Get into the elevator. You are going to tell me everything."

We got into the penthouse as Thane took the gun apart at the island as Chris sat down on the stool, "Start talking Chris. How do you know Steven?" Chris sighed, "I was at the bar at the club when I saw the two of you walk in." Thane nodded, "Go on."

Chris nodded, "I watched the two of you when a man sat next to me."

I whispered, "Steven."

Chris chuckled as Thane went into the fridge and pulled out couple beers, "Fucking Steven." Thane handed Chris a beer when he opened it and took a sip, "He asked me what I knew about the two of you and I told him what happened."

He tilted his head back, "He told me that Isabella was his girlfriend and that he wanted her back." I shook my head, "He is not my boyfriend and never was." Thane walked over to my side as Chris shook his head, "I got that Princess." Thane snapped his head, "No one calls her Princess except for me."

Chris threw up his hands, "He gave me some story that pissed me off and I felt I needed to help him. But..." Thane narrowed his eyes at him, "I can see that his story was not true..." He sighed, "The way you protect her. The plea that you had in your eyes to save her, Thane."

He shook his head then took another sip of his beer, "You have never looked that way for another woman. I knew you for years and you never looked at them like you do with her."

Thane slammed his hand on the counter, "Where is he now?" I looked up at him and saw his eyes turn black a Chris shook his head, "He is calling me in the next hour to set up a meeting time." Thane took out his phone and walked away but kept his eyes on me and Chris. I turned my head towards Thane as he tried to give me an ensuring smile as I felt angry for the man that stood in our kitchen,

"I can't believe that you would do that to us."

He took a sip of his beer, "You had to be so smart didn't you." I tilted my head at him, "What does that suppose mean?" He shook his head, "If you were not smart then you wouldn't figure it out." I shook my head, "I had my suspicions, but it is not me that blew the whistle." He looked down at his beer, "Who then?" I shook my head, "I have no idea. But you have to take responsibility for this." I sighed, "It would be in your best interest to tell the police everything." He nodded his head, "My wife is going to kill me if this doesn't kill her first."

I shook my head as I laid my hand on his arm, "I know your wife was sick and I understand why you did what you did but it doesn't make it right." He raised his eyebrow as Thane walked back into the room, "Police are on their way here." He sighed, "Andrew is going to take it from here so we can head to the airport."

I nodded as Chris sighed, "I wouldn't do that."

Thane tilted his head, "What are you talking about?"

Chris shook his head, "Steven told me that he had a backup plan if I failed. He said something about that you two are going to have a blast on the way to Paris."

Thane's eyes grew large as he made another call, "Check the airplane for explosives." I shook my head as I went to run to Thane, "He can't take you from me."

Thane placed his lips on my forehead, "No one is taking me from you, and no one will take you away from me." I sighed as tears started to follow as he cupped my face, "Bella. Look at me." I lifted my face at him, "No one is going to take me from you." He wrapped his arms around me as I laid my head on his chest where I could hear his heartbeat when there was a knock on the door.

Thane let me go to answer the door as Andrew walked into the penthouse, "Leo is waiting downstairs." Thane looked at me as he held out his hand to me, "We will not fly today but I am going to get you away from here for the rest of the week." I walked to him as I took his hand, "Then you got what you needed." He smirked, "Oh I did." He wiggled his eyebrows as he brought my hand to his lips.

We got back to the car when Leo waited with the door opened. Thane said, "We are going to the Cabin." Leo nodded as he questioned Thane, "Is everything okay?" Thane looked back at the elevators then smirked at me, "This place isn't safe for you anymore. The cabin is only a couple hours away." I nodded at him, "What are you saying?" He pushed me into the car, "We are going to live there until Steven is in custody or dead. Whichever comes first."

We watched from the window as Chris was hauled out by the police as he bowed his head. Thane sat back as I asked him, "What about work?" He shrugged his shoulder, "I can remotely and if I need to be in the office I can leave earlier. Or go in late." I nodded as he pulled me into him, "I told you that I am going to protect you, Princess and that is what I am going to do." I nodded as he whispered into my ear, "That is my duty as a Master." I looked up at him as I was hoping that he was going to call me something else.

His eyebrow raised, "What is it, Princess?" I shook my head as he lifted his arm as he turned his body as he slid his hand up my skirt, "What is a matter?" His fingers cupped my sex and squeezed. I yelped as he demanded,

"Answer me."

I looked up at him as my voice shook, "I... I... think I am falling for you." He shook his head as he laid his head back as he took his hand away from my skirt. He placed his hands to his face as he moaned, "Fuck." I looked up at him as he shook his head. I went to say something when he stopped me,

" Bella, Not right now."

I looked out of the window as my head fell to the back of the seat as I started to tear up. The trees that turned color or were bare passed by as my eyes felt heavy from crying as I drifted off to sleep.

I felt my body being lifted from the car as I heard his voice, "Get her things and bring them to her room." Thane walked as he held me close when I heard Leo, "Which room is her sir?" He stopped in his tracks as if he was thinking when I wrapped my arms around his neck, "Mine." I slowly opened my eyes as he looked down at me, "We are here, Princess." I nodded as he frowned, "I will let you get rest. I will be in the office." He walked into the cabin and up the stairs. He entered the room and laid me on the bed.

He stood up straight as I turned my body towards him as he stared at me, "I will be up late. Get rest, Princess." He pulled the blankets over me as a tear slid down my face. His thumb caught it as he sighed.

"Don't."

He whispered as he searched my eyes with his. I looked away from him as I said softly, "Just go." He looked down at me, "Princess." I lifted and pointed to the door as I yelled, "Leave, Now." His eyes got dark as he grabbed my wrist then pulled me towards him. He wrapped his arms around me as he sat on the bed, "I am sorry." I shook my head violently as I hit his chest with my fist, "Just leave. Leave me alone." I felt him nodding his head as he let me go and walked out of the room. He stopped at the doorframe when knocked his knuckles on the wood as he whispered, "Fuck." Then he disappeared into the night.

I tossed and turned as I yelled, "NO, Help." I heard Thane whisper, "I am here Bella. I am right here." I flicked my eyes open as I was sweaty, and tears were going down my face as Thane clenched me to his bare chest. My hand slid up his muscular chest as my hands went around his neck. I pushed my face towards his, "Princess, what are you doing?" I looked into his eyes with fear as I got closer to his lips. I brushed my lips against his as I can taste the whiskey on his sweet lips, "Bella, Don't." I shook my head,

"Thane, I don't want to feel the pain anymore."

He ran his hand through my hair, "I know, Princess." He sighed, "Tell me about your dream." I shook my head as I pushed off him. He pulled me back, "Don't, Princess and talk." I looked up at him as his fingers glided along my legs as he held me like I was his baby. I took a deep sigh, "My mother would get drunk and pass out." I looked up at the ceiling, "Steven wasn't the first husband of hers that tried to take my virginity." His eyes got dark as he held me tighter as I squeezed my eyes, "I can feel their hands all over me when I sleep." I sighed, "When you sleep next to me it stops. I don't feel them." He tilted his head to me, "I feel safe with you near me." He looked up at the ceiling, "The burn mark."

I looked up at him as a tear ran down my face, "That was Steven. I fought him off me." I sighed as I bowed my head, "He took a candle and placed the flame against my back." I tried to run but couldn't get away from quick enough." His teeth clenched as I ran my finger across his scar on his chest, "When Mickey ran his father's business. I was doing what my mother asked so she didn't beat me."

I shook my head, "When Mickey caught me, I tried to seduce him when he saw the burn mark." He looked down at me, "Did you sleep with Mickey?" I shook my head, "No, He stopped me and told me that he knew what I was doing." I placed my palm against Thane skin as I teared up more, "He asked me what happened to my back and I told him." My voice got shaky, "I was seventeen and he took me to his father and mother. They all decided to give me a second chance in life and took me in."

I placed my head on his chest, "They made sure that my mother or her husbands didn't hurt me again." He held me tighter as his muscles tensed up, "Why is Steven looking for you." I shook my head, "He is ten years younger than my mother and my mother promised me to him once I was eighteen." He turned his head, "That bitch." I nodded, "Mickey and his parents took me away from them, so I had a chance of a life."

He held me for a minute when I cleared my throat as I ran my hand on the scar, "What happened to you?" He looked down at me, "My father used to beat my ass." I looked up at him, "I am sorry." He squeezed me closer, "His new wife was like Steven and my father did the same thing to you." He sighed, "I just didn't get out of the abuse in time. When I turned sixteen, his wife used to sneak into my room and tie me up."

He took my hand as he ran my fingers down his scar, "She took a hot blade to brand me as her boy toy." He sighed, "She introduced me to this Master lifestyle. She was mine." I looked up at him, "Does your mother know?" He shook his head, "You are the only person I have told." I looked up into his eyes, "Why?" He sighed, "I am doing something that I told myself that I don't deserve." I tilted my head, "What is that?" He placed his finger along my jawline,

"Bella, I am falling for you, too."

He sighed as he placed his hand on my back holding me, "That's why I acted like I did in the car; I was trying to convince myself that I am not but I can't hide it anymore."

I cupped his face with my hands and pulled his face as my lips brushed against his, "Now what do we do?"

He sighed as his hand went up to my hair, "I am still your Master, but I can't hide my feelings for you. I shouldn't want more; but I do." I pushed back from him as I searched his eyes as I can see the fear in his eyes on what this means. I sighed, "We are both broken maybe..." He shook his head, "Princess, I don't want you to fix me. I can't be fix." I narrowed my eyes as I whispered to him hoping he didn't hear it, "You can if you tried." He pulled me back to him as he laid his lips on my forehead.
