Looking at Clover's high heels, Nathan visualized her trying to move quickly while taking small steps in those heels.  How painful it would be if she lost her balance with no ability to break her fall.  Grabbing her around the waist from behind with one arm, he reached down to remove each of her heels with the other.  As a final bit of restraint, he reached into the drawer once more for a ball gag.  A hand gripped both sides of her jaw, forcing her mouth into an O while his other hand forced the ball between her teeth.  He then pulled the wig off her head before strapping the gag in back.<br/><br/>"I'm sorry, but I don't want you to make too much noise while we're headed down the hall, in case my sister is prowling around the mansion.  Actually, you have a lot in common with her.  The two of you both have sticky fingers and love stealing my valuables.  I'd hate to have you two meet and become friends."  He laughed at the thought.<br/><br/>Nathan stood in front of Clover a moment, admiring her beauty and his handiwork.

Reaching over to the desk, he plucked the jewelry up and placed it around her neck.  Then stepped back.  "Gorgeous!  The rubies almost match the ball between your lips, the emeralds match your eyes, and the diamonds . . . . . well, they go well with everything."  Perhaps it was cruel to taunt her with the necklace, but he couldn't help himself.<br/><br/>Reaching for the leash, he gave it a gentle tug as he said, "Let's go.  You and I are going to get better acquainted in bed."
