Alison's POV

My eyes run over the paper slowly, reading every word carefully. I don't want to misread something and then sign it and it be something that I'm not okay with. I can tell Emily is very serious about her lifestyle. She has me in an office that apparently has existed in this house since before I moved in.

I stumble across something that shocks me. It's definitely not something I would be comfortable with. "Can you cross off anal?" Emily gives me a hesitating look.

"You aren't even up for trying it?" She raises her eyebrows.

"Absolutely not." Emily sighs but crosses it out anyways. "And what kind of clamps are we talking about?" I fold my hands, doing my best to be professional about everything. Her eyes look down to my chest. "Please cross that off the list." A frown appears on her face but she does as I please. "I'm okay with rope ties, cable ties, and handcuffs." She nods as I continue. "I will not accept chains."

"Noted."

"I'm not okay with being gagged." I shake my head, as my eyes still scan the paper. I'm trying my hardest to not say no to everything. Only because most of it scares me.

After going over everything with her, I put the pen down and look up at Emily who is staring at me intently. Everything else seems to be okay with me for the most part. If I missed any then I guess I will have to deal with it. I have scanned over it at least fifty times to make sure I didn't.

"I want you to be aware that you signing this contract, it is you submitting yourself completely to me. You will no longer have the control that you normally would have. Your tasks that are given are to be done in a timely manner. If not done by the time given, you will be punished. Do you understand?" I nod my head yes. "Another thing. I would like to be addressed as Mistress when it is convenient. When you are ready you are allowed to sign the contract. I'm in no hurry for you to do so."

"I'll need a few days." I agree.

"You got it, Ms. Dilaurentis." I smile at this.

"I'll be gone for the day, but I'll be back tomorrow first thing in the morning," Emily informs me which makes me frown. "Don't do anything too crazy while I am away. Call me if you need anything." She gives me a kiss on the cheek before she heads to the elevator.

"Em, wait." She turns back around only for me to press my lips against hers softly but with a little force. Once she pulls away, she gives me a small smile and then disappears into the elevator.

"And why are we not going to Noel Khan's party?" Aria asks for like the third time since she has been sitting on my bed in the guest bedroom. I never pegged her as the party type but I guess she's more so than me and Spencer.

"We are trying to study." Spencer reminds her with a serious look as she fixes her eyeglasses.

"You mean you are." Aria shoots back with a laugh. "Live a little, Spence. You don't have to be smart right now. You're not in school."

"I kind of want to go to the party, too, Spencer." I encourage, trying to help Aria out. I need to let loose to clear the tension inside of me.

"Really? I know how this is going to go. You two are going to get wasted and then I will be the one trying to take care of the both of you." Me and Aria shrug our shoulders. She isn't wrong. "I don't think Emily will like the idea of you at a party she knows nothing about. And I don't know about you guys, but she terrifies me."

"Emily is not that scary." I defend her.

"Ali, she owns this house and she could probably easily shut down any company she wanted to." Spencer informs.

"And that makes her scary?" I ask which she nods to.

"You only say she isn't scary because you're sleeping with her." Aria jokes which makes me frown slightly. "Wait, you two aren't?" I shake my head. "I'm sorry, I just assumed..." She trails off, not knowing what else to say.

"I think we do need to go to this party." Spencer speaks up, taking our attention away from each other.

**

As soon as we get to the party, Spencer shuts her vehicle off and gets out, me and Aria doing the same. The music is loud as always and more people are here than I thought there would be.

"Okay, you two are not allowed to get wasted. I don't want to have to carry you both to my car at three in the morning." Spencer states but mainly looking at me.

"Aria is just as bad." I defend with a glare. Aria scoffs and laughs.

"Not as bad as you. Do you remember that one time you walked into the woods and claimed there was a tree walking around?" Aria asks me which confuses the hell out of me. What is she talking about? "Exactly."

"Anyways." Spencer sighs. "Control your liquor and steer clear of guys. The last thing I need is Emily hunting me down to kill me if something was to happen to you. And for you, I will kill anyone who tries anything with you." Spencer kisses Aria on the side of the head which makes her smile.

I'm drunk is all I keep thinking about as I'm dancing in the middle of the dance floor with girls and guys. I can see Spencer watching me which irritates me slightly. I kind of don't want to be here right now. I just want to be with Emily. Speaking of her, I haven't heard from her in a while.

I get off the dance floor and try to walk to the bathroom but Spencer stops me. "What?"

"Where are you going?" She asks.

"To the bathroom."I roll my eyes. "You want to hold my hand while I pee?" I snap which makes her smile slightly. What's so funny?

"Fine. Make it quick."

"Yes, mom." I sigh before making my way to the bathroom which is thankfully empty.

I click on Emily's name and send her a text to ask why she is ignoring me.

I'm not ignoring you. I've just been busy.

Too busy to text your soon to be sub?

Where are you?

In the guest bedroom.

I lie. She can't know where I am. I may be drunk but I'm not stupid.

I don't think your guest bedroom is in Rosewood, Alison.

What the hell? How does she know I'm in Rosewood and not at her place? I shrug my shoulders instead of responding. I splash cold water on my face because I'm getting tired.

I'm coming to get you.

I go to question her but someone knocks on the door to the bathroom anxiously. I guess they need to go to the bathroom as well.

Half an hour after Emily had texted me, I have been downing shots one after the other. I can't get her off my mind and I want to. All I can think about is being her sub and the things I want her to do to me. It's starting to frustrate me because she's not here to do just that.

I think Spencer ran off to go find Aria. Said something about how she was dancing with some girl named Samara or something, I don't know. I couldn't really hear her over the music.

After about ten minutes of standing there waiting for Spencer, I get bored. I just want to lay down. I go upstairs and pick an empty room before plopping down on to the bed,

"Alison?" I hear Spencer calling me but I don't know where she is. I don't even know where I am to be honest. The room is spinning and I think there is some guy coming towards me. Am I still on the bed? I feel like I'm about to get sick but at the same time, I'm getting tired.

"I have been waiting all night to get you alone." Is that Noel? The guy comes in my view and sure enough, it is. "You want to know how long I have been watching you?"

"What?" I question but it's barely above a whisper.

"The way you danced against other girls was such a turn on." He sits down beside me but I'm too tired and drunk to move. "Do you have any idea how much I want you right now?" His hand reaches up and tucks my hair behind my ear.

"Please, just leave me alone." I groan, feeling weaker by the second.

"Come on, Alison. You can't tell me you don't want me inside of you." He hovers over me and tries to slip my dress up but I stop him with my hand.

"Stop." I demand, with as much venom in my voice that I can manage. Ignoring what I said, he continues to push it further up my legs. As soon as the realization hits me, I try to shove him off. "Get off of me, Noel!" I yell. He doesn't listen.

"You have about five seconds to get off of her or you will end up with brain damage." Is that Emily? My vision starts to blur.

"Who the hell are you?" Noel snaps, getting off of me.

"Someone you don't want to mess with."

Everything else disappears. The voices are no longer audible as my eyes shut close, sleep taking over me.
