The painkillers had long since worn off, and the more you came to, the more intense the pain became. Phantom sensations in your lost body responded with burning impulses, and a disgusting feeling settled between your legs. Your stomach twisted at the thought of what he could have done while you were unconscious.

Strong arms wrapped around you, enveloping you in someone else's warmth. You were too exhausted to resist, too broken to even try. One of Daniel's broad palms slid softly through your hair, and soon you felt the softness of the mattress under your back.

For a moment he loomed over you, his shadow seeming to press, but soon he rolled over, lying next to you. His hand lay lazily on your body, holding you firmly in this new, strange captivity. His breath was very close. Your eyelids grew heavy.

"Don't fight it... Go to sleep."
