Zoey's sparkling green eyes glared up at him with undisguised malice that only intensified when he let out the little laugh. His order to have her bound set her struggling, despite the painful way the man was holding her slender arms. Of course it did not matter and she was soon standing there with her arms crushed against her sides with a thick, rough leather strap and the soft skin of her legs was already chafed by the heavy iron shackles they put around her ankles. All the while, Quentin counted out the money he had paid for her. Seeing how much had been paid for her, bound callously by rough hands and smelling the workers' stale breath was just too much for the young former Lady and glistening tears began to trickle over her cheeks. She fought to regain her composure as he turned and left. Soft sniffles escaped her as she was half-drug, half-carried along behind her new owner.<br/><br/>When they had arrived at the motorized carriage, Zoey was hoisted rather unceremoniously up into it and placed firmly on her knees. The foul man that had helped get her to the carriage made a few mumbled words of thanks for his patronage and then, practically drooling, ran to count his money. With Quentin taking his seat, she tried to struggle up only to have his boots press onto her milky thighs and forcing her to stay kneeling. She jumped a little when he called out to the driver. her emerald eyes watched cautiously as he slipped off his gloves. She expected him to discipline her verbally after all one did not strike a lady. So when the thin leather lashed across her cheek, she let out a squeal of pain and surprise. Tears immediately began to fall from eyes that glared hatefully up at him. Her mouth worked for a moment as though the blow had made her forget how to articulate speech. She could feel the red welt forming on her soft cheek and she finally managed to say with all the indignation of her former station in life.<span style="color: indigo">"H-how dare you?!
