Pain. It was sudden and sharp as his hand landed across her cheek. The sound seemed to echo in the elevator. She felt a heat rising from her skin as her flesh throbbed from the strike.<br/><br/>She couldn't even call out, the hand around her throat too tight. Her blue gaze was wide and caught in his as she felt another wave of panic. She couldn't escape his grip, she couldn't escape him. She hadn't expected he would strike her off of her high perch.<br/><br/>It was getting harder to breath, there was a buzzing in the back of her mind. She had one way to be released.  She didn't want to...<br/><br/>"Yes- sir-" she would manage to squeak out. The moment he released her she would find herself weak knee and gasping for air.
