Ten minutes to figure out what the fuck to do.
Ten minutes to decide how to play this hand.
Ten minutes to remember who he was.
The heralded golden boy highly anticipated to serve as a Master. The moment Sal set foot in Texas, everyone knew that boy – that submissive – would grow into a Dominant to behold. The kind to wield his emotions through intellect and treat his partner as a princess. With a heavy hand and a ruthless ability, Sal would shine because they trained him, raising him to be no less than the best regardless of the role. He was the pride and promise of Juliet.
Trying to calm his mind, Sal went back through every moment he could remember. Anything to provide a clue as to what the Juliet council planned, or where this journey ended. He had been initiated and that was rare. But now, he had been taken captive…like a hostage. He didn’t recall any members ever engaging in such a brutal and unnerving scene.
The vehicle stopped, lurching his body forward. Suddenly, they moved again, but this time slower until the car turned off. The driver got out, opened his door, and gripped him on the shoulder. The burly voice requested, “Come on, Raniero. You got people waiting.”
Again, not anyone he knew. Judging by how the man handled him, he wasn’t into gentle either. His mind fraught with the possibilities as to what he was about to endure, but he agreed to this.
He wanted this.
He begged for this.
“Push me further, I can do more. Don’t go easy on me.”
He would succeed in this scene for no other reason than he feared disappointing Serene or Jack or Anna. Too many people invested time and money in his development and training for him to wuss out now.
He heard a jingle of keys and a door opened. Guided over the threshold and through a series of hallways, the man led him down two flights of stairs. Again, another long hallway emerged.
Inhaling the stench of his retch, Sal mumbled beneath the hood, “This place feels like a prison.”
The man said nothing as the keys clattered. Hands shoved at his shoulders, pushing him down on his knees, and the door slammed with a thunderous echoing roar.
His worst fears just came true.

An excerpt from Hopechest:
The chrome and steel roared past the headstones. The engine noise bounced, echoing loud enough to wake the dead. Gray clouds parted, revealing a hint of blue on an otherwise dreary day.
As he cut the engine off, Sal ran his hand through his curls. His overgrown hair brushed down to his shoulders, and the ringlets were starting to annoy him. He pushed his sunglasses up and noticed a curious sight in the distance.
A bright yellow dress hunched low on the gloomy day. If people weren’t passed out at Juliet from the night’s frolic, they were at one of the four churches in town. In the several years, he lived at Sugargrove, running the loop of his own sweaty religion, he knew no one ever visited the cemetery before ten in the morning on a Sunday.
The wind kicked up, blowing wind chimes and her long blonde hair as Sal walked closer. He pulled a smoke out of his black leather jacket and lit it. He didn’t care if she saw him. He wanted to know who the fuck she was.
Beneath his black boots, acorns crunched as he approached. He lunged over the top of the two-year-old twins who died in a wreck the year he came to town. The small ceramic lambs chipped away from the weather. He looked down to assure his clearance, and when he glanced up she sat mere feet away and glanced his direction with her round sunglasses.
His head cocked to the side, he recognized the nose… that mouth.
Her short frame rose up. Without a doubt, he knew he was standing in front of the girl he loved more than anyone else in the world. Pulling her sunglasses off, she beamed her wide grin in his direction.
“Hope?”
“Yes, Raniero. How can I help you?”
