Red Sir, Red

Prologue

" But weren't you asking for it? " The man with a clean-shaven face and yellow spaced teeth stares down at me. His dark eyes peers right through me, right through my words, my pain, my history and right out to the other side - not giving a damn.

"Objection! Your honor the question is vague and irrelevant!" My attorney shouts standing from her seat.

The prosecuting attorney groans," Oh come on! Your honor she's just trying to avoid the question we were all thinking." He gestures at the jury as if they all agree. I feel myself shrinking inside myself even more. Heat rushes to my face and tears begin to blur my vision. I wasn't asking for it. " Ms. Neely was asking for it! The second she stepped into that lifestyle she should've known what was going to come with it!"

The judge bangs down on his gavel getting the prosecutors attention," Tone down the theatrics Mr. Mathews!" He looks back at my attorney for a second before bringing his attention back to Mr. Mathews. " Sustained, try again but a little less vague please."

Mr. Mathews turns his back to the judge to roll his eyes before he settles on me. He smirks and begins again this time slowly as if he was talking to an infant," Ms. Neely when you agreed to be a submissive did you or did you not know that meant you would have to surrender yourself to all of your dominant's needs."

" Yes, but this was, it was, it wasn't" I begin but quickly stop when the prosecutor raises his eyebrows and gestures with his hands to speak, mocking me.

Mr. Mathews smirks at me and looks up at the judge, " No further questions, your honor."

My attorney stands up in a haste, " My client did not finish her thoughts!"

Mr. Mathews rolls his eyes and chuckles, " Key word, thoughts Mrs. Frost. If she actually voiced them to us we wouldn't be having this problem."

My attorney balls her hands in two fists, " If you would stop badgering the -"

The Judge bangs down on his gavel, " Enough! Mr. Mathews and Mrs. Frost I don't know when my courtroom became a playground! I also didn't know they started giving out degrees to children!" The attorneys flinch and keep their mouths shut.

"Now Mr. Mathews you didn't allow the defendant to finish her sentence. Ms. Delaney go ahead and finish what you were saying. " All eyes go back to my face, reminding too well of someone I wish I never met.

" I-I " I gulped, not able to speak the words lodged in my throat.

" Your honor, can you please tell the defendant to answer using full sentences." Mr. Mathews says with his permanent attitude dripping with each word.

The judge nods his head and turns to me, his expression matching the prosecutor," Yes, Ms. Delaney please answer the question."

I sit up straight and wipe my clammy palms on my dress pants. I use my shaking hands to push my hair back. I avert my eyes to my wooden stand. " I-I I was saying that I knew what it meant to be a sub... but this was different."

**A/N**
I'm not big for author's notes so I'll make this quick. Do not be put-off by the prologue. This story doesn't take place in a courtroom, or anything like that. This is just something to wet your tongues. Give you a taste of what's to come.

Oh and if you're one of those people who think. Really the summary and now this! I don't even need to read the book I already know what happens yadda yadda yadda. No you don't. >.<
