*K's POV*
For three days I have had the crap beaten out of me. Every time I won now, sir was punishing me and saying I could do less and less. When M and N double teamed me and help me back while they punched me I got angry and dislocated M's arm. I knew I would be punished, but I didn't care. He f*****g deserved it. As I expected, sir grabbed me and pushed me up against the wall and hit my ass, hard!
Jesus Christ. I tried not to fall over with the force. Gritting my teeth not to cry out in pain and give him even more satisfaction. I hear steps and then the c**k of a gun. "What the f**k, sir!" I froze, my blood turning to ice in my veins. That voice, that voice from my dreams.
Was it one of them? The men I passed in the hall before when madam sent me back here. She had been telling me off for asking to go back to my usual training, the pain of being beaten on starting to get to me. She had stopped, mid rant, not even bothering to slap me or anything, just telling me to head back here. I had to walk past four men in the corridor, they smelled so nice and masculine. Like the boys corridor but on steroids. I couldn't dare to look at them, not after what the others had told me. If I was so ugly and grotesque, how must I look now I have had the s**t beaten out of me for three days.
Sir let go of me and turned to the men. "Don Polozzi, I am surprised to see you back so soon." he said in a tone of voice I had never heard him use before.
"Don't give me that s**t! You pawned that f*****g useless piece of s**t on to me, stating he was your best. What a load of crap! And now, I come to get a replacement to see you allowing the guys to pair up to try and take down one girl."
"Our training methods are, as you know, one of our most valued tools..."
"Look at her, she has had the crap beaten out of her! I have just come from the girl's wing, none of the others look like that. Do you have all the girls train this way?" his voice boomed, sending a shiver down my body.
"I cannot divulge our..."
"You!" s**t, did he mean me? I am still staring at the f*****g wall.
Thankfully he didn't as one of the men responded. "Master."
"How many girls have you trained with?" god, even pissed off this man's voice effected me in a way I could not describe.
"Just K master." the man, I think it sounded like X responded.
"And is it always like what I just saw?" the more he asked, the harder his voice became.
"No master. In the morning she spars each of us separately, then in the afternoon it is done it pairs."
"And how long has this been going on? K having the s**t kicked out of her morning and afternoon."
"3 days master."
I heard a gun shot, the sound startling me slightly as it rang in my ears. "Don Polozzi..." sir whimpered.
"Don't give me that crap! I left her here with you to train!" left me here? What did that mean?
"And she is trained Don Polozzi, that is why she has started to train the others to improve."
"If she is trained then she can come with me now! K!" at the sound of my name I turned, my eyes locking on him for the first time. Holy crap, it was him. A little older, a little bigger. As my eyes met his, my breath caught in my throat. His eyes were two black holes sucking me in to the abyss within. "Come here." he said in a less harsh tone, pointing to a spot in front of him.
I did as he asked, walking over to where he pointed, out eyes still transfixed in each other. "Master." I nodded, surprised that my voice was more steady than I would have imagined considering my throat now felt as dry as the Sahara.
"You and... What is your name?" he pointed at X. When he told him his name he nodded. "You and X go outside with Kristoff here."
"Yes master." I nodded before one of the three men he was with, who were all equally attractive but did not hold a candle to master, turned and led us out of the building. As we were walking I could still hear master and sir yelling at each other.
"You cannot just take her! She is the most promising recruit we have had."
"I told you when I left her here I would pay you three times what she is worth and I will! X I am raking as p*****t for you sticking me with P."
"It is not just the money Don Polozzi. She is a valued..." I could no longer hear sir as we stepped out of the orphanage and into the courtyard. There was a shiny red four by four in front of us, but my eyes were too busy looking at the sky, the ground, trying to look down the street.
"Stand still and let me look at you." Kristoff growled. I looked toward him to see that he had stopped walking and was now glaring at me. I walked back to him a little and he grasped my chin, not hard, bit with my bruises it still stung. "Jesus Christ." Did I look that bad or ugly? I looked to X who was also staring at me. I wanted to hide, but knew I shouldn't so I stood there while Kristoff turned my head this way and that. "Does your face hurt?"
"Yes...uhm.." I stumbled, not sure if I should call him Kristoff, sir or master.
"You can call me sir or Kristoff." he informed me, obviously noticing my dilemma.
"Thank you sir. Yes sir, it hurt a bit." I lied a little, because in all honesty, everything hurt a lot.
Master came out, looking really angry, even more so when he saw Kristoff still holding my chin. The other two almost having to run to keep up with his long purposeful strides. "Kristoff! Hand, off!" he gritted out.
"Sorry boss. Was just looking at her injuries. Think we might have to get the doc to look at her." Kistoff explained as he quickly let go of me and took a step back.
"Agreed." was all he responded with in a curt tone. One of the men that had come out with him got into the drivers seat. "X get in the back." he ordered as he grabbed my hand and marched round the car to the passenger seat. I looked in the back to see Kristoff, X and another guy, jammed together like sardines. Crap where was I mean to sit? "On my lap little girl." Master said as he tapped him thigh. I audibly swallowed as he called me the name I had dreamed about for so many years, before shaking my head and climbing in.
There was not much room so I had to press my body tight against masters. My eyes went to his neck and there it was, the snake. Obviously it was a tattoo and not moving like in my dreams but I could not help but stare at it. I had an urge to reach out and touch it, but I knew that was not my place. Master wrapped his arms tightly around me as we set off down the road.
Even in the four by four, some parts of the journey were bumpy, and try as I might I could not sit still on master lap. He started to make hissing and groaning sounds, but when I tried to pull away, his arms latched around me even tighter and he gave me a warning look. I could feel something long and hard, poking me in my ass below me but I could not shift to a more comfortable position.
I tried not to stare at him, knowing that it was rude and he could punish me for it, but he was so nice to look at. He was covered in tattoos, olive skin and strong jaw just like in my dream. His strong arms that held me to him made me feel all tingly, I was just happy that he wasn't talking as his voice definitely made me feel all sorts of strange things, even more than his masculine scent was anyway.
Finally we the car pulled into a drive and we stopped outside a massive house. But as I tried to leave, master held me to him. "Leave us." he barked to the others. They got out and left just me and him alone, the small space suddenly feeling oh so much smaller as his dark eyes turned on me. "Why are you staring at me little girl?"
Well s**t, I was not usually a nervous person but his deep voice and our close proximity made my hands start to sweat and my heart to beat erratically. "I-I'm sorry master." crap! Now I am stuttering.
"That doesn't answer my question."
I tried to swallow, feeling I had no saliva left in my mouth. "I-I dreamed about you, master." double s**t. Why did I say that? "I mean, I think it was a memory but I couldn't remember it fully."
"You dreamed about me little girl?" he asked, his lips pulled into a satisfied smirk. "What did you dream about?"
My eyes moved back down to his neck. "Your snake tattoo, master. It would move and squirm as you told me it's okay."
I don't know what I said or did wrong, but his face turned to a stony expression and his arms loosened around me. I took that as an indication for me to leave, so I grasped the handle of the door only to have his large hand land on top of mine. "Did I say you should leave?"
"N-no master." I stuttered again. Crap, would he punish me? I bet a slap off him would hurt even more than the one sir gave me and I was already exceeding sore all over. I didn't know what was going on, I had never been trained for this. I know how to flirt with a man, and how to kill him, but I did not know what to do when a guy sucked out your very essence just by his presence.
Finally, master opened the door and nodded for me to exit. I did, and followed him as he walked into the mansion. There was no other words to describe it. Everything here was fancy and beautiful. Master didn't give me time to look around though, as we walked past X and the other three down a corridor. We passed some other men, all of them intimidating and large, who bowed their heads in respect as master passed before giving me a strange look.
We finally reached a room where the walls and floors were tiles. There was another man here who did not seem as intimidating and a girl lying in a bed. Master glared at the girl, who had a massive bruise around her neck. "D-." the girl tried to say something as she sat up but master just glared harder at her before closing a curtain around her.
"Doc, this is K." master said, gesturing to me. I gave doc a nod and he gave me a small smile on return. "She needs a full work up, and as you can see, some of her injuries may need attention."
"Yes boss." the doctor nodded. It seemed, like me, he expected him to leave then, but he didn't. He just turned and sat in a chair by the door, glaring at the doctor until he started his exam.
