She sat in the dirty corner, waiting for her ‘oh so benevolent maker’ to walk in through that narrow door and undo all the good that Max had managed to build up. If only William could see that it wasn’t hard to earn respect. She didn’t trust Max but she respected him at least. She didn’t have to be constantly thinking how Max was going to fuck her over but she couldn’t spare a single non-threatening thought towards William.
Sure enough she heard steps coming down the stairs. She sensed William far sooner than she saw him, what with he being her maker and all. She took a deep unneeded breath, more out of reflex than need as she prepared for whatever William had planned. She just had to remind herself to submit. Be the nice little willing plaything William wanted. She had to swallow her pride and her desire to fight so he’d grow bored.
But gods would submitting to him be the hardest thing she ever did.
