The Hated (Sleeping With Monsters Book 3) (22 page)

“I see,” he said, in the same tone of voice he used for everything apparently, neither frustrated nor surprised. “I can bring tea or coffee to you in a bit, if you’d like. Mrs. Dudley’s got bad knees, she can’t handle stairs anymore.”

“Tea, please. Thank you,” she said, sheepishly.

“If I may, Ma’am,” he said after waiting half-a-second more. She nodded to encourage him to continue. “Moving is stressful, and moving into a magnificent house doubly so. Rome was not built in a day, and neither was it unpacked in one.”

She broke into a soft smile. “Thank you, Arthur.”

“You’re welcome, Ma’am,” he said, and bowed curtly before going back the way he’d come.

person, with guys, and girls, and guys and guys and girls and girls and more guys with some whips and…yeah. It’s a completely adult and very intense experience, where you get to choose what happens next, making your continued consent a part of the game….

You are a modern woman recently on the outside of a rough marriage after a rougher divorce.

While immersing yourself in the business of putting your radically different life back together, you receive a small package in the mail. Convinced that it belongs to your rental’s prior tenant and dismayed that they left no forwarding address, you leave it on your kitchen table for three days with good intentions to contact the landlord – after you finish unpacking and forwarding all of your own bills.

It is not until the fourth night that you realize that it is indeed addressed to you.

You pick the package up and take it into your living room. There’s something inside that moves when you shake it but it doesn’t feel fragile. Alone on your couch, you cut through the tape sealing the box and open it up – upside down. A key falls to the floor at your feet, and when you flip the lid of the box, you notice a note on fine stationary pressed inside.

The key is strung on a ribbon. It is silver, ornate, and delicate and looks like it was meant for a very fine jewelry box. You question just what it does open – and why someone would be sending it to you. You pick the key up and set it on the coffee table you just bought at a thrift store earlier in the evening.

The note, like the package, is addressed to you by name. It’s on the type of paper that you only see in movies, linen with frayed edges so thick it’s almost fabric, which seems to give the words written on it greater weight.
