"Well, hypothetically speaking, I'd decide how best I wanted to enforce the point that debts are always paid off, one way or another. Maybe your scholarship would get cancelled. Or you might be suspected of being a terrorist and picked up for interrogation. Or you simply might find some of your things broken. Your financial accounts drying up. Or you might get into an accident. It's a careless world out there. And that's not a very nice thing to say about a man you're going to be serving very, very soon..." He reached across the table and trailed a fingertip across her cheek for a moment with a sly smile. "And I won't make it that bad. You won't be out fucking strangers or stripping at clubs.... just fucking me, stripping for me." He paused a beat. "And fucking each other, I suppose." That dangerous gleam widened in his eyes as he flipped over his cards, winning the last few chips Ever had.<br/><br/>"Looks like that's game. And that means you both belong to me, for one year's time. You'll still go to school, have your lives, but you live here now, for the next year, and you tend to my needs, whenever, however, I say you do." He chuckled, rising to his feet, moving to walk behind Ever. "Don't look so glum. It won't be so bad. I'll even give you girls an allowance, so you can buy nice things, and I'll even pay off the rest of your school loans." His hand moved along Ever's shoulder, then teased his fingertips along her neck slowly. "As long as you're good little girls, that is. Good in the absolutely bad kind of way, naturally. Go on, Sarah, give Ever a kiss so she knows you forgive her. We don't want bad blood in this house." His other hand reached over to smooth along Katy's shoulder and across the back of her neck.
