The sunlight peeked through the window, I gave a loud yawn and dragged my feet down. The fact that I was still in bed meant that the devil had not woken up. I freshened up and made my way to the kitchen. The fridge had everything I needed.

Everyone likes breakfast and they say the way to a man's heart is through food or……….. something like that, maybe if I'm successful in trapping my bitchy self away for sometime, I would be able to have a civil conversation with him.

I mixed the batter and started making pancakes. I was halfway done.

“ What the hell?!!”

   I swiftly turned but he had grabbed the kitchen cloth and covered his face, I pouted with a little disappointment.

“ Whatt!!.........Please tell me you didn’t think I would remain tied up, that too with a single rope, you underestimate me too much SUGAR.”

His angry eyes looked at me from head to toe, then he looked away.

“ Those are my clothes.”

“ Oh, do you want them back?” I said unbuttoning my shirt.

   For the first time, I saw his eyes widen if only microscopically. He quickly regained his composure.

“ No.”

“ That’s what I thought.”

“ Why didn’t you run away?”

“ I told you.”

 He scrutinized me again.

“ I made you breakfast,” I said handing him the plate.

“ How would I know if you have added something fishy in it.”

“ If I added something fishy it would taste fishy won't it, fish has a strong taste” 

He stared at me as if I had given him an hour of a boring lecture.

I walked towards him broke off a piece of his pancake and took a bite, then I proceeded to lick the syrup off my fingers slowly. I ran my tongue along my lips catching the sticky syrup stuck in the corner of my mouth.

“ Stop that.”

" Why? is it turning you on? " I said smirking.

“ No, it's disgusting” he gave me a cold glare.

I gave him the stinky eye.

“ How are you going to eat?” I said eyeing the checkered cloth over his mouth.

“ I'm not.”

I opened my mouth to let him know what an ungrateful schnitzel he is but instead my eyes fell on his gorgeous body, he walked towards me and I wondered if everything was in slow-mo, or was it just me.

“ You are a dick,” I said once I finished checking him out.

“ Now now, your tongue runs at the worst of times, let's tie you up shall we?” he said pushing me down on the counter.

“ In your dreams.”

I moved swiftly and twisted his arm forcing him down on the counter.

I gave him a triumphant smile, that quickly disappeared when he focused his eyes on me. He kicked my leg and they buckled, I was about to fall when he held my hands tightly and pulled me towards him, I landed on his lap.

“ Let me …. goooo,” I said squirming and he gripped my hand tighter, he had trapped my legs between his thighs.

I saw the corners of his eyes lifting and I knew he was smiling. I tried to bite his hand but he forced them away, I squirmed again, I could not believe I was so close to him, his scent was making me heady and I hated that he knew he had an effect on me.

“ Stop squirming or you will have another problem to take care of” he said looking down.

I squirmed once more, but he was stronger, then I settled at glaring him.

     He moved his head leisurely towards me watching my every reaction. I held my breath as he stared at my eyes, his grip on me hardened and I could feel his strong muscles under my skin. Images of him leaning over me and using his hands to hold me down while I worshiped his body  flashed in my head. His eyes fell on my lips and my heart started pounding, I tried to calm myself thinking about all the horrible things he had done, he lifted me slightly and I gasped, I could feel his hard bulge poking at my legs. I closed my eyes shut.

A loud snap woke me from my daze. I whirled to see that he had actually cuffed me to the chair.

“ You scumbag,” I yelled.

“ Either you are too naïve or you are an excellent actor, I guess we will find out soon.”

“ What do you mean, and you know this won't stop me” I said jiggling the cuffs.

“ I know but I have something else.”

He disappeared back to his room I head a drawer shuffle. He wore a plain white shirt, it brought the color of his eyes to life though I was almost sorry that he was covering up his body. He held his hands behind his back as if he had a gift for me.

“ Tada,” he said holding another pair of cuffs.

“ You can't be serious,” I said eyeing the cuffs, they were lined with pink fur, there was no doubt what they were used for before.

“This will keep you busy till I come.’’

“ I'm not running away anywhere” I yelled.

“I don’t trust you”  he replied while adding the cuffs to my already cuffed hands.

“ I'll be back soon and.........enjoy your pancakes.”

“ You are sooo cruel,” I said stomping my legs in hatred.

“For not letting you eat your pancakes?” he said raising his eyebrows.

“ Fuck-off” I grunted and settled in the chair.

“ If you knew better you would keep that pretty mouth shut, but obviously you don’t.………....try anything funny and I'll be your worst nightmare”  he added before shutting the door and turning the key.

   I groaned in frustration. I should have run away. At least I would have those pancakes in my tummy and not lying in front of me mocking me. I pulled at the cuffs. Of course, I would be able to uncuff myself but by the time I would be done he would come back and probably cuff me again.

It was hardly fair. He tricked me into this. I was the best at defense and I forgot the first and foremost rule. NEVER GET DISTRACTED.

I let out another long sigh. I threw a sad glance at the pancakes, HAH who does he think he is, I lifted the chair up then jumped on my back, in three more attempts I heard a crack, I jumped once more and the wood broke in pieces. I freed my hands and did what was crucial at that moment. I ate my pancakes.

Then I searched for something that would help me get these cuff off. I found a saw and cut them off. I took a shower, then I tied his shirt in a knot and wore his Bermuda. Stole some money and took off. He was going to have a heart attack. I giggled at the thought.

    I came back an hour later, after shopping for some essentials and a few clothes. I didn’t bother to ring the bell, I used the key. As soon as I entered the cold metal touched my forehead.

“ Tada,” I said smirking.

His expression was very much like I had just dropped a bombshell on his head.

“ Where the fuck did you go?” the gun was prodding in my skin.

I ignored it and plopped down on the sofa.

“ Considering that I have to endure you for some more time, I thought I would go shopping”

He looked at me in disbelief.

“ Shopping?.... You went shopping!”

“ I didn’t want to use your clothes and I took your money. Since you are treating me like a felon I might as well act like one.”

“ Stand up” he shouted in rage.

“ Who the fuck do you think you are?” he said taking a menacing step.

" I'm not afraid of you, and I'm true to my word I came back."

" You aren’t afraid you should be "he gripped my neck choking me a little, his fingers dug in my skin.

" I'm not, "I said defiantly.

“ Come here,” he said gripping my hair.

“ Oww stop.”

“ Sit” he ordered and I obeyed.

“ I will know soon why you came here, then I will decide, whether you  end on the street or in the sewer.”

I scowled.

 He opened the bag beside him and started arranging. I recognized the lie detector instantly.

“ You are going to use a lie detector on me?”

He didn’t answer, he started arranging the wires and strapping them to my fingers and arm.

“ You remind me time and again that you’re a Crackhead. A Crackhead With Trust Issues.”

“It's ready”

“ Fineeeeee”

He sat close to me, too close. And my blood started racing. I knew I had rattled him his gaze was harder than earlier, a little heated even.

“ Why are you here?” he said leaning in closer. My throat parched.

“ I'm here to find why I'm attracted to you.”

He turned his head assessing me closely.

The light blinked red.

“ That’s a lie.”

“ You clearly don’t understand the basics of a lie detector, I'm nervous, that’s why it turned red.”

“ I don’t believe you.”

I let out a breath, then I tugged at his shirt bringing him even closer. I could see his pale skin, the little blue in his eyes. His hair was silky soft. My heart fluttered. I gulped and answered.

“ You are not a man.”

His eyebrow quirked up again, the light blinked red and I lightly pushed him away.

“ Now judging by the length of your zipper, obviously you are a man and if you aren’t please tell me now, it would save a lot of energy”

“ Fine, you proved your point” he moved away.

“ Now answer me again.”

“ Like hell I won't, believe me or don’t, I'm not a puppet.”

He folded his hands and continued to glower at me.

“ What's your name?”

“ Sarah”

“ Last name?”

“ I don’t have the last name.”

 He waited for the light to blink green.

“ Does anyone know you are here?”

“ No’’, again the light blinked green.

“ What is your intention of coming here.”

“ Pass, I won't be answering that question again even if you ask me in the most twisted way possible.’’

He stared at me.

“ What do you plan to do once you know why you are attracted?’”

 I looked at him in the eyes.

“ I'm going to kill you.”

The light blinked green, his gaze flickered to mine and I saw amusement and.........disappointment ?

“ What you didn’t expect me to beg for your love and then marry you and have a happily ever after.”

“ Don’t be ridiculous............ why don’t you have a last name?”

“ I'm an orphan, who was sent from one foster home to another. I prefer having just my first name”

“ Will you kill me if you have the chance.”

“ I think I had plenty of chances when you were sleeping " he glared at me harder " No not until I find out why.”

“ So we have a problem here.”

“ Yes we do.”

“ What if I throw you off the streets and run.”

" I will find you again."

“It's not that easy” he challenged.

“It's not that hard” I retorted.

He was silent.

“ I suggest you let me be.”

“ And always watch my back waiting for a bullet. No thanks”

“ Fine I will give you  2 days notice to run.”

He laughed.

" I can kill you right now. "

“ You can but you won't. ”

“ I will if I have to”

“ Alright, kill me.”

He paced faster and frowned. After a few minutes he turned.

“ I won't cuff you anymore” he went to the door.

“ You stay out of my way and I'll stay out of yours’’

“ Okay”

He shut the door.

The light blinked red.
