"Master...Mistress..." Charlotte whispered, her voice barely audible.
But it was too late. Charlotte's body went limp, and she felt herself falling into a deep, dark abyss.
When Charlotte came to, she was lying on the bed, her wrists and ankles still cuffed to the bedposts. But as she looked around the room, she realized that it was empty. There was no sign of Wesley or the mysterious woman.
It was all a dream, Charlotte told herself, trying to calm her racing heart. But as she looked down at her wrists and ankles, she saw that they were still cuffed to the bed. And on the bedside table, there was a note:
"I'll be with you."
Charlotte's heart skipped a beat as she realized that it wasn't just a dream. It was her reality now.
