She stood on a plush rug and finally looked up at him. He was staring at her intently; he looked fascinated. She clenched her teeth and gave her most mutinous glare.
"I want to know what happened." She ordered defiantly. It didn't matter to her that he was clearly in a position of power over her, as he had just exhibited. She would not lose herself. She wasn't a weak little girl and she had been done being unquestioningly obedient a long time ago.
"You didn't have enough?" He looked lividly at her.
"I want explanations. I deserve them." Thankfully she sounded stronger than she felt. Malia knew she wouldn't be able to handle another punishment like that so soon.
He crossed his arms and shook his head at her. "Fine little girl. You want a bedtime story, I'll give it to you." He motioned for her to return to the living room. He sat in the chair across from the couch and smirked as he motioned for her to sit on the couch. She sat gingerly, only wincing inwardly through incredible force of will. She would not give him the satisfaction of seeing her show any more signs of pain. She smirked back at him and he laughed.
"Alright, here's your story, but I have to warn you it's short. Tristan jumped into the lake after me. It was winter. He suffered severe hypothermia and lost his legs." He arched his eyebrows at her, daring her to question him. She knew instinctively that she wasn't going to get anything else out of him tonight. Why had he told her anything? He didn't have to.
"Okay." She said simply.
He looked at her like she'd grown a second head. "You continue to surprise."
"That's all I need to know for now. I've decided to help you in your insane ploy because a compromise between the two of us is the only way I see myself getting out of this. I will help Tristan and you will give me information."
"Oh will I?" Cain laughed. "Little girl, I told you your story because I admired your persistence. In no way are you in any position to make demands."
"I'm not making demands" she said softly, "I'm asking you to help me. In return I will put all of my effort into being whatever it is you want me to be for Tristan." She looked into his eyes and left all joking and power plays behind.
He looked at her seriously in return. "Tristan mentioned to me a while ago that he wanted a family, a wife and children. He was drunk and insists he wasn't speaking coherently, but I know he does want those things." He looked uncomfortable. "So you can see how me helping you get back into a unit would be counterproductive to my plan."
She nodded. "I understand that there's no going back. That's not what I'm asking for. I want my family back. You got me out, get them out too. I will marry your brother and bear him as many children as humanly possible."
His arched eyebrows pulled together. "You don't really have anything to bargain with."
"I'm bargaining with my cooperation. You don't expect Tristan to be happy if you force me to marry him and have his children do you? Would he even agree to that?"
"For spending a single day with my brother you claim to know him quite well." Cain challenged her.
"Like it or not you need my help." She insisted.
He smiled. "I'll keep it in mind."
"I'm going to need more than that." She commanded.
"Well that's all you're going to get." He replied angrily. "For now, it's going to have to be enough."
She looked into his dark eyes. She hated having to interpret if there was any truth there, but she didn't have a choice. She was going to have to trust this man who hadn't done a thing to earn her trust. Whether she liked it or not. "For now." Malia nodded.

LaPetitePapillionabout 5 years agoI don't think the explanation of the country being splintered was explored enough. Character development is lacking. If she's so fiercely loyal to her family, why isn't she angry finding out about luxuries they lack. She's excited to get a dress, bath, etc but never gave a thought to how her family much less her "unit" suffers. She is s3lfish, short sighted and lacking in the rebellious thoughtfulness the writer is trying to force her to be. Nice try, but it falls flat. There's also so much time spent on dialogue, there's a writer's adage: show , don't tell. Mixing inner dialogue with character's talking is a skill a good writer achieves. Last but not least, there are no emotions or depth of feeling to the hard, and at first horrifying, experience Malia is going through,so she comes across flat. It's nice to have ideas come out of other stories, but make it your own, not a fan low level knock-off.
Anonymousover 7 years agois cain missing his entire frontal lobe or does the author think this makes him ~edgy~ and interesting?
Anonymousalmost 8 years agoThis story gets SOO much better in chapters more towards the end so do not be discouraged readers!
evonnaalmost 11 years agoA woman with yellow hair wearing a red, gauzy thing, calling him "stud" ??????? For most of the chap I thought she was a smitten prostitute! But maybe she's not..? Oh, I get it, he has issues paying for sex, as he feels like he's above it, so he uses a woman who's essentially the same thing.
LOVED the spanking scene! Was she having difficulty spotting his hard-on ??? He's big, so he must be pretty big. I'm guessing she's innocent enough to not know what to look for when a man looks at her like he wants to eat her up :). That's nice, yumminess in store.
Male characters are difficult for female writers to write, and these boys seem very feminine in their thoughts, as if they have no control over their environment most of the time etc., but it doesn't really distract from the story, which I'm enjoying a lot.
