I was in so much pain I just wanted to die. Nothing I did provoked him enough for him to lose his temper, and that wasn’t good for me.

He flipped me around on the bed and pushed my ass up before he plunged deep inside it while belting my back as viciously as usual.

“Perhaps I should keep you in this cabin for a few months. It’s such a pity to lose a good slut like you,” he said, right after he poured his cum all over my back. “Despite your flaws, you always made me come like no other…” he added, as he slid out of me.

I ignored his words… sliding into the safe world I had conjured for me after the first months of marriage. I would become a ragdoll for him to use and abuse, but my mind would be safe in this world, far from the excruciating pain and the humiliation.

He hated it when I did that, and it usually only brought me more pain, but by then, I was far beyond caring. I would handle pain later.

“I think I found them,” Brad’s excited voice over the phone was the best news I could receive.

We had been looking for Hudson for a few hours now with little luck, and I was getting desperate, my mind filled with the most horrific images of what he might be doing to her. I would never forgive myself if I didn’t get to her in time to save her.

“Tell me!” I ordered.

“There’s a small cabin, an hour away from the last gas station he passed through that was rented a few days ago by a John Smith,” Brad explained. “He used cash and refused to show any identification. The owner didn’t mind since the cabin is only rented during the summer. He welcomed the extra cash, especially when the guy paid three times the regular price.”

“Send me the address,” I ordered.

“I already sent it. I’ve also warned the local authorities. You might meet them on your way there.”

“Thank you, Brad. Please, keep looking, just in case…” I asked.

“I will… but my gut tells me this is it,” he assured me.

I ended the call and introduced the address Brad had sent me to the car GPS. I was closer than I thought, and a few minutes later, I was parking the car beside Hudson’s rental. “Yes!” I exclaimed softly. I could just see a glimpse of the cabin at the other end of the foot trail that led to it.

I got out of the car and closed the door quietly. I didn’t want to let Hudson know he had company. He might kill her and run away, and that was the last thing I wanted. Two police cars arrived as I was getting out of the car. An officer named Josh introduced himself and the others, but I only remembered his name.

“It’s up there.” I pointed to the path.

“You stay back here. Let us take care of it,” said Josh. “He could be armed.”

“No, I’m going!” I asserted.

Josh looked like he was about to insist, but I think he knew how desperate I was.

“Okay, stay behind us.”

We walked up to the cabin, as quietly as possible, and I followed.

“Check for other exits,” Josh, instructed one of the police officers. “I’ll check the windows, and you’ll move to the main door,” he told the other one.

“Wait here,” Josh warned me. “Your presence might precipitate the events. I’ll call you when we have the suspect in our custody.”

“I’m not staying behind,” I insisted. “It won’t be easy to knock down that door, and he won’t hesitate to kill her if he sees the police,” I warned him.

I had had a lot of time to read his file on while Brad was locating this place. His conduct while a SEAL had been questioned more times than I could count, and he was about to be kicked out when he decided to resign.

He was good keeping his reputation clean, but Brad dug up a lot of information using his talent. Hudson had been kicked out of most of the BDSM clubs in the New York area for not respecting the rules and ignoring people’s hard limits. He was a hard-cold sadist, and not even the most masochistic people would put themselves in his hands.

It hadn't been an easy reading, especially considering I knew Ailani was with him alone, but I wanted to know as much as possible about the beast I was about to face.

“What’s your plan?” Josh asked me, clearly impatient.
