"So Andrea, do you remember me now?", he asked through gritted teeth, anger, frustration, hatred and slight hurt clearly heard in his voice.
"I am not Andrea, and I don't fucking remember you", she hissed looking straight in his eyes and pulled on the restraints only to hiss in pain as the cold metal cut into her wrists.
"You still don't remember me, love. Then I will make you", his threatening words were followed by her blood curling scream as the leather belt landed on her back, tearing her soft skin.
"Do you remember me now", he asked, his body was vibrating due to anger.
"No", her answer didn't change.
His anger turned him into the monster, he never thought he would be with her. And her screams of pain echoed in the walls of the mansion.
Yet she refused. Refused to say what he wanted to hear.
Because SHE IS NOT HER.

Maya applied pressure to my wound. I hissed from the pain. "Stop fucking around." She rolled her eyes at me. Maya finished tending my wound, wrapping it with a bandage. As she got up to put the first aid away, I stopped her.
My thumb rubbed against the cool skin of her hand. I pulled her to sit on my lap. My fingers ran through her hair. "You're doing it again." I ignored her, sinking my chin into her shoulder. "I have no idea what you're talking about." I placed small pecks on neck. Her breathing turning heavy. "Stop. Someone could walk in."
"And? You think they want to watch? Shit, I would."
