Stockholm Syndrome might well have been the logical reason, and Cynthia's response may very much have implied that....
Cynthia stopped, leaned up against a wall in a corner where they could have at least some semblance of privacy, as if here could be nay in a crowded mall......."Mistress, can I be totally honest with you?," she started...."after you kidnapped me, I really thought I would be killed if I didn't cooperate with you....if you remember, I tried to escape, and after I was raped by Max, I figured you thought of me as nothing but a piece of meat to use and throw away....."
she looked around, stared for a while and continued....."I was a virgin and you deflowered me....I thought of sex as something I would wait for until the right person came along and at first I was angry, upset and hurt that you took my virginity. But as time passed, something came over me....you became gentler, softer and passionate with me, and I started falling for you....it seemed the more you tortured me, the more you made love to me as well....I began to want to please you in any way I could....I decided I'd gladly submit to all the abuse and torture you put me through if it gave me the chance to show how much I wanted you to make love to me.....no one ever treated me the way you have....
"....I'm not brainwashed....I remember everything that's happened to me since you took possession of me....I think of it as a natural progression to where I am---where we are--and I'd like to think I earned your love and your hand in marriage, and you know I'll do anything you ask to please you...
what should we be called?....'wife and wife'?....'wife and slut?'....does it really matter what labels are used on us, so long as I can serve you as your slave, sex toy, wife and lover...."
With that, Cynthia kissed her....."humiliate me, display me, I don't care....I love you and that's all that matters...."
