He just stood there watching her struggle as if it was the most entertainment he'd received all day. Karie had misjudged him entirely, though she was about to learn further on just how much. At first, she was grateful that he finally came to her rescue but quickly found out that he was not going to be tender or sympathetic to her state. A hand flew across her face, whipping her head to one side. She felt a small tearing of the inside of her cheek before she tasted some of her own blood as the soft interior of her mouth became cut on her teeth in the process. Shock came first as she dangled in his hands stunned that he would strike her. Next, came the pain. Galos was able to watch as her jaw opened up and her face scrunch up as that pain finally registered. Lastly, there was anger. So much so, Karie glared into his face as he began explaining exactly what was happening.<br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#00b3b3">"I am no one's least of all yours," </span>she seethed at him through clenched teeth. Her hands had reached up to his wrists, though she made no physical motion to gain her freedom. He released her and she nearly fell back down to the ground. Remembering the frightening vines, Karie made sure to remain on her feet. She tried to regain her compsure, though it was impossible as his voice echoed so loudly when he spoke. Her head snapped up as she realized what he implied. He would hurt her friends if she didn't obey? What sort of monster was this man? He saw the hatred rise inside her gaze as she rubbed along her cheek and neck with her hands.<br/><br/>They had just had amazing sex, the best in her life and now she was kidnapped, taken to a strange place with a man who wanted to simply own her. The way he spoke it, it was as if she were an object he could discard at any moment. Yet, there was a reason he'd sought her out right? She saw it barely hinted as she stared up at his face. A smile slowly formed along her lips. She was his shiny new toy? Well, let's see how much he likes it when he doesn't just get his way.<br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#00b3b3">"You know my name, knew where to find me. Am I really that important to you?"</span>Karie asked him with a rather mocking tone. He could sense there might be trouble from her. Would his threat to her friends hold? If it did, for how long?
