(18+ EXPLICIT CONTENT) "Attract a lot of attention, huh beautiful?" His voice hit me like a wall, absurdly catching me off guard. It was deep, sensual, something any girl (or boy) could melt over. I was sort of speechless, yet trying my best to appear unafflicted. "Only the wrong ones." That was definitely drunken me talking, as I didn't usually have that much confidence. His lips twitched up into a smirk, expressing that he understood my comment. "Does that mean that I'm in that category?" My palms began to grow sweaty and my heart rate picked up, but otherwise my body remained relaxed, appearing completely fine. It similar to when you're on autopilot, completely withdrawn due to intoxication. "I suppose not," I crossed my arms, putting on this seductive persona just for him. This fueled his smirk, about to murmur another comment before I cut him off. "You'll have to show me, though." *** Amelia Hollis was a 23-year-old writer at one of the local publishing companies, assisting a very handsome man and writing articles left and right.

His hand settled around my throat, directing my cheek to press against the window. His other hand pushed against my ass before moving up and grasping my waist. "You like being on display like this, my princess?" He roughly whispered against my ear. "Let's show everyone who you belong to, hmm? Tell me, who do you belong to, baby?" "I'm yours, Daddy," I responded softly. I jumped when he smacked my ass. "I didn't hear you, little one. Speak up," he chided. "I belong to you, Daddy," I raised my voice a little more this time.
