went to the armoire, opened a drawer and brought out a pair of black cuffs.
    This was outrageous! He could only mean to use them on her. She’d never been into the kinky stuff, bondage or domination. As he started toward her, she darted for the door. He was on her in an instant, grabbing her hands and in a flash, subduing her frantic efforts to pull away, he had the soft leather cuffs locked around her wrists. She cried out as he secured both wrists together.
    She tried to twist free. She kicked out, landing a glancing blow on his shin. He grimaced, but said nothing. She elbowed him, but he sucked in his gut and her elbow bounced off tight muscles. She cursed.
    Ignoring her words, he stretched out a hand and brought the hanging bar down. He unraveled a chain wrapped about the middle portion, secured it to the ring on the cuffs and raised the bar until she was on tiptoe.
    She couldn’t believe it!
    He’d tethered her to the bar.

Chapter Three
    Norris gaped at him, mouth open, panting in surprise. He fixed the bar so that no matter how she tugged, she couldn’t lower it. Wide-eyed, she watched him return to the open drawer and return with something black.
    “Take these things off,” she demanded and yanked at her chain.
    He flicked her a glance. He didn’t say a word.
    She edged away from him as he moved to stand behind her. She kicked back at him, but standing on tiptoe didn’t give her any leverage. He held her by the neck with one hand as he drew a smooth black leather hood over her head. She twisted her head this way and that, but that didn’t slow him down as he tucked her hair out of the way and tied the drawstrings at the back of her head until the mask was secure. It covered her head and eyes, leaving only her nose and mouth clear. “Wait until the Better Business Bureau hears about this! And the cops!”
    He stepped back, not even breathing hard while she panted as though she’d run a mile. “I’m sure they’ll be very interested.” He didn’t sound worried.
    She heard him pull the chair closer. He sat. Some nerve. Sitting comfortably while she hung like a Thanksgiving turkey!
    “You’re setting a new record, Norris. Very few clients reach this point within hours of arrival.”
    She grunted and tried to ease her shoulders. What did he mean very few clients ? Was this standard procedure? Was this what Kenny meant about the first few days being hard?
    “When you’re calm and ready, we will start over.”
    “I’ll scream! What will other clients think?”
    “Suit yourself.” He spoke calmly. “Though it might interest you to know that all the treatment rooms are soundproofed.”
    “Soundproofed?” she echoed, her voice rising in disbelief. “How can you get away with this?”
    She heard tapping and thought he must be tapping his fingers on the arm of the chair. Maybe he wasn’t as cool as she’d thought, not if he was giving in to a nervous gesture. Maybe there was a human being under that austere exterior.
    “Let’s get something straight here.” He paused, waiting until she stopped trying to free herself. “Everything we do here is with our client’s permission and cooperation.
    You signed the contract, giving us that permission. The cooperation is up to you.”
    “I never expected or agreed to this!”

    “But you do expect to lose the weight and leave here looking like you want to look.”
    She said nothing.
    “So now it’s up to you. If you want to leave, just say so. I’ll unhook you. You can get dressed and walk out the door. No one will stop you.”
    The only thing stopping her was her pride. How could she face Kendra after boasting she could stick with this diet spa? She’d have to admit she’d left within hours of arrival. Couldn’t even last a day! Worse still, how could she face her staff or her clients?
    “What’s it going to be?”
    “I didn’t come here to be abused!”
    “You recall the clauses about submitting to
