Summary
But I got my fingers laced together and I made a little prison
And I'm locking up everyone who ever laid a finger on meIn desperate need of companionship while brokering peace in the human lands, the Spymaster of the Night Court visits a brothel in the hopes of finding some distraction. When he discovers that the courtesans are not working of their own free will, no one but the girls will make it out alive.
Celestia. Whatever happens to my body tonight, it won’t be to me. Not really. It will happen to her. I’ll wear the false name like armor, and keep my true self buried so deep that no one will ever be able to touch her without my permission.
Perhaps, if I hide her well enough, she might survive long enough to see a new future. When I’m no longer young and desirable, and Mistress Catriona dumps me out in the street like garbage.
I can be strong. I can hold on until I’m viewed as too worthless to keep imprisoned. Only then will I remember who I am, and find my way back home.
“He said he likes his women willing,” Mistress Catriona murmurs in my ear. “So go show him how willing you can be.”
