"Think about it once more, giving life a single last try, a last try until....until all the petals of this rose dry down. Yes, just until then. Please...." With those words, and hope tied to a red rose that she handed me, she vanished. Somewhere into the darkness of that late July night.

I searched for her, everywhere, but couldn't find her, of course I couldn't, I didn't even know her face or name. All I knew was her voice. The voice that had become my obsession and the libido of my life for the past 10 years.

And then, just like fate intertwining us together, I met her again. 

"This time, you are not going anywhere, my rose. I am not letting you leave."

-----

"Tell me, Eleanor, do you like seeing me like this? Do you like seeing me angry with you?" he yells, banging the spot above my head. I keep my mouth shut so I don't say the wrong thing and make him angrier. "Fucking answer me," he says, roughly shaking my body. "N-N-N-o-o," I stammer. "If you don't, then why don't you ever listen to me? The spanking wasn't enough? Do you need me to unleash my beast on you before you listen to me?" he asks, and I shake my head this time to tell him no. "Then give me a reason why I shouldn't take you across my legs right now and give you twenty lashes on each ass cheek for laughing at something Evan said," he says, and I pause for a minute. "You shouldn't spank me because it's my right to laugh or not at what Evan said." "You see, Eleanor, that's where you're wrong. Only I can tell you if you can laugh or not." "Excuse me?" I ask, looking at him confused and wondering if he's on something. "I own your laughter, Eleanor." "No, you don't." "I do. And not just your laughter. I own all of you." --------------------------------- Eleanor Brown is a lovely lady trying to make ends meets. She lands a job after an unfortunate event happens to her.
