Free Punished Into Submission by Holly Carter Page B

adorable you two showing brotherly love towards each other.” I say standing. “Arrow, don’t take any advice from your brother, he knows nothing. Ask me, I know where the spot is. I had to find it myself this morning, can you believe that?”
    Arrow looks to me then back to Hunter. As I start to leave, I hear laughter followed by the sound of a fist connecting with a body part. I put my plate in the sink and head for the door.
    “Where are you going?”
    “To find my door.” I yell, walking out.
    Arrows laughter fills my ears as I leave.
    I walk around the staircase and a sign saying ‘staff and Management only’ grabs my attention. That’s when I noticed the door under the staircase. I was hoping I would be in luck with the search for this impending Punishment room. I open the door, noting how fucking dark it is down there. The cool stone stairs come into light when I run my hand along the wall and found the light switch. Cautiously walking inside, I shut the door behind me and took the steps one at a time.
    I counted each step in my head; fifteen in total. The dimly lit hallway had several doors off to each side. I opened the first door; inside was a scene obviously set up. Several chairs circled a stage hosting a cross. The next room was similar in appearance just bigger in size with more chairs and larger stage with several benches, crosses and other equipment. It was a Mistress or Masters’ paradise. What was behind the third door was heart stopping. Heavy-duty chains were bolted to three walls. A cupboard to the side sparked my attention. Walking over to it, I open the doors. Various sex toys, floggers, crops, whips, and instruments filled the space.
    I ran my fingers along the floggers, wishing to be with Sailor. I needed my freedom to do as I pleased, and whom I pleased. It had been just over forty-eight hours and I was ready to leave. But I wasn’t ready to give up yet. I was determined to serve my time, and break the Master. That was one goal I wouldn’t walk away from while here.
    Sighing, I shut the cupboard and walked out of the room. Across the hall, I open the forth door. It took me a moment to adjust to the bright lights that flashed in my eyes. The room was empty apart from a lone chair in the middle of the room. The lights in the room were bright, but dimmed after several minutes. This room puzzled me to no end. A chair? Nothing else. An unfinished room maybe?
    I turn around and walk out leaving the boring room in peace. Behind the next door was obviously a storeroom, piled high with tables, chairs, benches, and cupboards. I shut the door and walked back towards the stairs. Five rooms in total and I couldn’t wait to visit the first three when the palace was full. I heard footsteps behind me; I stop at the bottom of the stone stairs. Chills rack my body.
    “You can’t be down here, Hunter will skin you.”
    I smile at the sound of the voice.
    “He’s not an issue.” I turn around and smile.
    “Thirty days in the hands of Hunter. What the fuck did you do?”
    “My job.”
    “Fair call. Hey, about before, I...”
    “Stop,” I put my hands up to silence James. “I can do whatever the fuck I like.”
    James smiles before putting the box in his hands down. He walks towards me but veers to the right of the stairs when he gets close. A door I didn’t see before comes into view and I follow him. James pulls out a set of keys and unlocks the door. When he steps aside, I step forward into the black room. Pausing I turned to look at James.
    “I think this is what you have been looking for.” He says, turning and walking away. “Close the door behind you. You don’t want to be caught down here.” He yells over his shoulder, his voice echoes throughout the empty hall.
    For a moment I am confused, and then I smile. The thoughts of finding my bedroom door are gone as I step into the room. I close the heavy metal door quickly behind me once inside. It’s so dark; my eyes take time to adjust. I
