whatsoever.”
    “Derek, I told you that—” Zach was quickly silenced again.
    “You haven’t told me anything, damn it! Sure, you told me bits and pieces, but you never told me how you knew about my lifestyle, and you sure as shit never told me who the woman was.”
    A smug smirk formed on Zach’s face. “Ah, I see. I take it you didn’t order her not to turn her head.” Still smiling, Zach continued, “So you know it is Sandi then.”
    Derek gritted his teeth to avoid from screaming at the man in front of him. Not wanting Zach to call for the guards, he calmed his nerves the best he could before responding.
    “So you knew? You admit that you knew!” Not being able to control his anger, he shouted the last words.
    “Uh uh uh, control your temper, Derek. There is nothing here that you don’t want. There isn’t anything here I haven’t presented you with that you don’t desire.” Zach’s voice trailed off as he headed toward the bedroom door.
    “Where the hell do you think you are going?” Derek demanded.
    With his hand on the door handle, Zach turned and smiled. “Derek, when we were younger, you did something for me. You probably didn’t even realize it when you did, but I swore to myself that one day I would repay you. This is that day.”
    “I did something for you? Like what?”
    “Let’s just say I’m different than you and most guys that we went to school with. I got razzed quite a bit. One day you stepped in. It may not have seemed like a big deal to you. It was to me though.”
    Derek watched his old high school friend leave the room saying nothing more after his cryptic message. He wasn’t just mad now. He was confused. What on earth could he had done for Zach? And even more strange was the question of how Sandi fit into all of this.
    “Oh, Sandi, damn you. Why couldn’t you just stay gone?”

Chapter 3

    Sandi remained motionless for several seconds after she heard the door close before turning her head to see if Derek had really left. Once she looked over her left shoulder and didn’t see him, she quickly spun her head around to survey the rest of the room.
    Was he still in the room with her, but waiting to see if she reacted? She wondered, but as soon as she asked the silent question to herself, she already had her answer. Derek had in fact left the room. She was handcuffed to the bed and alone with nothing else but her thoughts.
    Instinct made her want to cry. She wanted to scream at the top of her lungs and beg him to come back. Instead, she bit back her tears and tightly squeezed her eyes shut. She knew very well that she wasn’t entitled to her sadness.
    There was no one else she could blame for her current situation other than herself. Two years ago, she had pushed Derek away. He was the only man who had ever treated her with respect, kindness, compassion, and love. He was the only man that she had ever loved, and rather than cherish that, she had thrown it away, all for some obsession, some elemental need she thought she had to have.
    She hated that, after two years, she still hadn’t found a way to fulfill those unexplained desires. No one that she had met over the past two years had even come close, not even Tony, the one she was foolish enough to leave Derek for. Just remembering the man who had introduced her into this world made her cringe. She detested him for making her think she wanted this kind of lifestyle.
    If only she knew then what she knew now, she would have never left Derek and their life together for a life she clearly didn’t want.
    A gut-wrenching pain tore through her heart when that thought made her realize that, in all these months over the past two years, she hadn’t felt even the smallest amount of pleasure from all the acts she had participated in. She hadn’t gotten any enjoyment from any of it. That was not until moments ago when Derek had been inside of her, taking her from behind, while she was handcuffed to a headboard in a place where she
