That her thanks was repaid with a slap upside the head caught Zoey by surprise, causing a plainly adorable squeak of displeasure. Seeing the implement of punishment in his hand caused her to tense and she snapped to obey his order. Her hands moved back to her thighs and gripped tightly, wincing at the pain from her previous self-inflicted wounds. The snivelling, emotionally and physically battered woman was almost reduced to tears again with phrasing of his question. She hated the horrible things she was called almost as much as the horrible things he forced her to do. "four... four people saw. i think." The thought of being seen like that again made her blush in shame. The light-hearted and conversational tone of his voice somehow made it worse, as though what she was going through was as trivial and commonplace as the weather. Perhaps for her new life it was.<br/><br/>She kept her eyes downcast while he moved over to the desk, only slightly raising them as he beckoned her to her feet. With surprising grace she rose to her feet but it was clearly not a pleasant experience by the grimace of pain on her face. Her body jolted with pain as she struggled to stand straight. Her knees ached and every welt and bruise that marred her once perfect skin made its presence known. the second swat upside her pretty head caught her just as unprepared as the first had and again she squeaked but hurriedly obeyed his order. She stared studiously at the ground. the feeling of the pen against her skin was odd and unpleasant. the pain was secondary to the knowledge of what he was doing. He was putting his name to what she had become much like an artist would sign a great work of art. that he wanted her to have other sign their names when they finished with her only served to make the gorgeous young woman burst into fresh tears. She just imagined how horrible the next few weeks were going to be if she was going to be expected to service others.<br/><br/>(Regrettably, I will be away this weekend. I will hopefully find time and a means to post but i cannot promise this will be the case.)<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
