Out of Your Chains - Sample Sunday

“Who were you working for outside your corporate job?” I asked, getting right to my point.

I wanted answers more than I wanted revenge, and with the kind of revenge I did want, he would likely be in no shape to give answers afterwards.

“Why would I tell you anything? You got me locked up in here, and you’ve got the nerve to ask me questions as if all this shit isn’t your fault,” he snapped, moving in my direction. “Who the fuck do you think you are?”

“I don’t think I’m anybody,” I answered. “I’m Tatiana fucking Tate, second in command of the Predators – a height to which you can only ever aspire.”

He scoffed. “You say that like I wasn’t balls deep in you every other night. You’re not that hard to get close to, bitch.”

“You say that as if you were ever more than a sentient dildo and a mouth for me to use,” I laughed. “Don’t make yourself more important than you ever were, are, or ever will be. Save the dramatics. Do you think you’ll make me cry? Do you think I’m going to ask you why you did it? I know why you did it,” I chuckled. “All I want from you is an answer to a very simple question - who were you working for before this happened? Anything else, I truly don’t fucking care to hear.”

“You still don’t understand do you?” he said, moving even closer, as much as he could since I hadn’t yet freed him from the chain around his ankle. “You think you’re so big and bad, but you’re protected by the men around you. The only reason I’m even in here is because you sent your attack dog after me. Cause you couldn’t come after me yourself,” he smirked. “Not after what I did to you – your face healed up nice though. You front like you’re the big bad boss, but the reality is, if I wasn’t in these chains, I’d show you who was really on top. Again.”

“Hold that thought,” I said, returning his smirk before I walked over to the panel on the wall and keyed in the code Alicia had given me, making the shackles around his wrist and ankles spring open and fall to the ground.

I took my time turning to face him, only to discover he’d actually backed up.

Just like I thought.

“Now tell me again what you were going to do if you were out of your chains?”
