CHAPTER SIXTEEN MALAKAI **I wake up disoriented. My brain slowly registers the firing pain in my lower region, a small groan leaves my mouth as I gaze at the ceiling. Shit!I'm still in Pierce's house, how long have I been asleep? I look around, and my eyes suddenly land on Pierce, who is lying beside me; he's staring right back at me unwaveringly. Has he been watching me sleep the entire time?I flinch inwardly at the thought. Maybe I'm wrong, surely, he has better things to do. "You had me nearly thinking that I killed you." He stands up and walks to the drawer, he returns rapidly with a bottle of water which he extends towards me.I accept it begrudgingly, the cool water soothes my patched throat. Pierce produces a laptop and inserts a flash drive; he sits down beside me on the bed. His finger touches my hair, and he caresses it backwards in a manner so gentle that, coming from him, it's weird. "Since you were so good earlier, how about a reward for you?" He leans at me,
CHAPTER SEVENTEEN MALAKAI **' But I'll punish you, according to the fruits of thine doings...'My father has always said that there's penance for every sinful action. To atone for my sins, the heavens... Or the devil has sent Pierce to me. Fever burns through my skin, my head is throbbing, and my throat feels patched. I still don't know how I managed to endure this agonizing pain all night long.Pierce, what did you do to my body? I feel like a doll which has been crushed by a trailer, but it isn't just my body that is broken; my soul feels vacant.My eyes are still swollen from all the tears I shed last night, yesterday was a freaking nightmare. And he'd even dared to send me a stupid goodnight text after making me so miserable.I don't have studies today, but I still have to prepare for Sunday School. The task of leaving my bed seems impossible. So, I shrink deeper into the warm blankets, I'll just sleep a bit more. When I wake up, I will...My eyes weakly flutter open when
CHAPTER EIGHTEEN MALAKAI **As I slowly open my eyes, the bright fluorescent lights above me pierce through my brain like a thousand knives. I groggily try to lift my hand to shield my eyes, but my arm is too heavy, I feel like it's suppressed by an invincible weight. Panic set in as I frantically scanned my surroundings.Where am I? Why am I here?"You're awake, how do you feel?" I stare at the young man, who is dressed in a white lab coat, in blank confusion.A hospital? But how?The last thing I remember is taking some painkillers, and then... Then...Shit, did I pass out?Did my mom finally bring me here for the assessment? Anxiety thickens at the back of my throat and I swallow hard. Even my mouth tastes bitter, what the hell happened to me?"You're quite lucky that your friend brought you here right on time, otherwise, you might have suffered severe complications"Friend?I remember now!I had dialled a number just before falling unconscious. Pierce is my most recent cont
CHAPTER NINETEEN MALAKAI**"I was about to lose it, so do not scare me like that again."I am still stunned, and he uses that opportunity to deepen the kiss, devouring my lips, tongue, and all. I start to resist him, forgetting the consequences; a harsh bite on my lips in warning causes me to soften against him while he continues to aggressively kiss me. His hands grasp my lower back, and I wince.He pulls away just when I think I will die from lack of air and turns to the doctor."You said he would be fine when he woke up, but I think he still feels sore down there; I got a little carried away the last time we, you know... Isn't there something you can give him?""I will prescribe a suppository analgesic and make sure he gets enough rest." The doctor rushes out of the room, looking very uneasy.Maybe I should never have woken up. How much longer will this torment continue? I feel so frustrated, I need to vent or I may just explode. "Where did you get so much drug from? I know th
CHAPTER TWENTY MALAKAI **I push open the door to my brother's room, for the past several days, I've been thinking about how to approach this issue. Drugs are very much a big deal, he may even land himself in jail if he continues like this. His room is a complete mess; clothes are piled all over, and even his bed is turned upside down. He doesn't even notice my presence as he keeps scattering things in his drawer."Ezra, we need to talk," I say, and he turns around to look at me, anxiety is written all over his features. "Can it wait? As you can see I'm busy." He starts to search his drawer again but suddenly stops. This time, when he stares at me, his eyes are clouded with suspicions. "Did you, by any chance, touch my things? I kept something in my room, now I can't find it!""I've been wanting to talk to you about it, if it's about that substance in the white container, you can forget about it."Ezra straightens up, his face red with anger. "So, it's you! Where is it?" He wal
CHAPTER TWENTY ONEMALAKAI **I know coming here isn't a good idea, but somehow I find myself standing in front of Pierce's house. It's not as if I'm here for our next appointment, but I'd asked Pierce about the drugs over the phone, and he'd insisted that I come to his place. Okay at the count of ten, I'm going to knock.The door suddenly pulls open and I meet Pierce's sharp stare."How long were you going to wait outside?" As his hawk-like gaze continues to sweep across me, the scowl on his face darkens."What the fuck happened to you!" I grimace inwardly. I do not think my face looks bad, but Pierce's grave expression suggests otherwise. "Did you get into a fight? If you come to me looking so damaged, how am I supposed to enjoy you?"Then, don't! If this is going to stop him from desiring me, I wouldn't mind getting hit a few times more. "I apologize for causing damage to your product," I mutter haltingly; Pierce's jaw clenches but he remains silent.He just takes hold of
CHAPTER TWENTY-TWOMALAKAI **Even though Pierce seems to be visibly upset, he doesn't feel guilty enough to make him stop. When he reveals his dick from his underwear, my heart falls with dismay. He is thick and aroused, precum glistening from the tip. As it curves upward toward his stomach, the ominous veins intertwine.I firmly press my lips together as he begins to rub his cock all over my face. He presses his precum against my moist eyelash and I close my eyes. He keeps smearing it over my nose, my closed eyelids, and every other area of my face. I press my lips even tighter when I feel his velvety meat starting to rub against it. He smacks my lips a few times with his cock, "Kai, open your mouth. You don't know for how long I've imagined fucking your face like this"Goosebumps spread through my skin; my blurry eyes flutter open to see his enlarged cock, which is settled on my lips. "I don't ever want to suck on a dick... I can't do it!" Pierce studies me for some second
CHAPTER TWENTY-THREEPIERCE **Kai is still on the ground coughing; his revulsion is pretty obvious; if only he looks happier, how perfect will he be?The knowledge that no one can touch him like me. No one can shove their cock so far down his mouth until he chokes.I can only forgive that disgusted look on his face because he'd just made me feel so good; I've never nutted so hard in my entire life and draining the content of my scrotum down his throat and watching him swallow it all had to be the best feeling ever. I own him! I want to taste his cock, too, to milk him until he's exhausted and moaning from the pleasure of it all, I just know that he's going to taste amazing.My mouth is watering and I'm already getting hard just thinking about it. "Since you are crying so much, how about I suck you off in return?""Don't fucking touch me, Get away from me!" Kai starts to scramble away from me, but I don't let him get far, grabbing his flailing arms, I drag him back to the couch.
EPILOGUE PIERCE** TWO YEARS LATER I broke him, my little bird. My prettiest boy, and my husband. Yes, we have been legally bound for almost two years now, and even though some time has passed, Kai is still broken by that incident. He is like a beautiful reflective glass that has been splintered into a million pieces, and I'm not going to try to fix him, because I know that each piece of him loves me dearly. Glass is beautiful when it is whole, but have you ever noticed the way it shines brighter when it is broken? That is exactly how Kai is to me, and I love to think that if that situation two years ago is played all over again, he's going to choose me again. And he knows it too which is why he's never going to forgive me for manipulating him into doing what he did. Even right now, as I watch him, everyone else around him feels inferior. He's like that bright star in the sky that no one else can reach, but somehow, he is mine, which makes me the luckiest bastard on the planet
CHAPTER EIGHTY ONEMALAKAI **Liam freezes, the knife still suspended in the air, as I make cold eye contact with him."Get away from him, don't make me do it__" My voice is oddly firm even though desperation is boiling and pumping through my veins.The gun feels heavy in my hands, "Get away from him, I won't repeat myself!" My hands start to tremble. I don't want to do this. I meet Pierce's gaze, the blood seeping from his hand catches my attention and this is probably the first time I've seen him hurt. And it does something to me, like every thread of reasoning in my brain snaps and all I'm left with is protective and murderous instinct. How dare Liam hurt what is mine?! The voices in my head are screaming to pull the trigger. I want to kill him!"You're not going to hurt me, you can't even hold a gun!"Liam sneers.Pierce starts to shove him off, and Liam raises the knife high; the next events happen in a blur, and the shot explodes, not just once, but twice.Time and everythi
CHAPTER EIGHTY MALAKAI **"Pierce?""Hmm?"'Just tell him, don't think about anything else, tell him everything!'It's only sensible to let him know, but my mouth feels frozen when I open it, and I can not find the words to tell him that we could possibly be in danger. That I've been giving money to Liam."What's wrong?" Here is an opening again to confess everything."If something is bothering you, you can always tell me, you know that, right?" Pierce says softly, gazing at me in the most adoring way that makes my heart clench. I have been lying to him a lot lately, and I don't like it one bit because keeping this secret means distancing myself from him and he keeps providing me with these opportunities, so why do I keep hesitating? The reason is simply that I still want to give Liam a chance; I feel that he is just lost. I've been at that point once. If I tell Pierce, there's no way Liam is going to be left alive. So, what am I going to do about the loanshark? I don't want to
CHAPTER SEVENTY-NINEMALAKAI**Wandering hands and probing lips wake me up, the covers are pulled back and firm fingers are grasping my knees apart"Pierce," I sigh when I feel his warm breath on my flesh just before he gives my nipple a long lick, warming me up to the tingles of pleasure. Lying to Pierce about where I was last night had been easier than I expected.I created a false story about meeting some random street beggar, and he had been convinced he didn't suspect anything.Normal Pierce would have interrogated me deeper, why is why I feel weird, and I'm starting to think that maybe he__No, it can't be that. If he knew that I secretly met Liam, he would have raised hell. Not treating me gently like this. "Pierce..." I moan when I feel the thick head of his cock stretching me wide; my body is trembling for his touch."Hmmm," His low hum vibrates and encloses my nipple, sending a wave of electric shock through my spine. I bury my fingers into his back when he starts to thr
CHAPTER SEVENTY-EIGHTMALAKAI**As I watch, a delicate hummingbird flies into view, its feathers glowing like diamonds. I snap photo after photo, trying to freeze the moment. My camera lens views the curious butterfly as it lands on a nearby flower, its wings unfolding like tiny works of art.I lean in closer, capturing the intricate details of its delicate body. The theme of the assignment is animal versus nature, I just hope that the professor is going to like my work. I shift my camera to a new landscape and zoom only for all of my thoughts to freeze.It's him again.I look up from his image on my camera, and sure enough, he is still standing there, close enough for me to acknowledge his presence but too far for me to reach him. What does he want from me? He keeps following us everywhere. "What is it?"I jump at the sound of Pierce's voice, I try to smile but it falters from my sudden nervousness. "Can we return to the hotel? I'm a bit tired, and I need a drink,"We are in th
CHAPTER SEVENTY-SEVEN MALAKAI **SEVEN MONTHS LATER "I'm doomed, I already booked us dinner, but I still don't have his birthday gift!""Did you get him a ring or something like I told you?""Of course not!"I'm on face time with Ezra, and he snorts at my dumbfounded expression. His idea is horrible, but I can only blame myself for asking him for gift ideas in the first place; at times like this, I sort of wish that I had other friends to consult. Why is gifting Pierce something always so difficult? Or maybe I deserve the title of being the worst boyfriend because I still haven't figured out what Pierce is enthusiastic about. At this point, I may have to wrap my ass or my dick in a ribbon and give it to him. Wait__ can I do that? It's only reasonable because that's the one thing Pierce ever seems to always want."You even got two different cars on your birthday! If I were you, I'd marry him right away. Life's rough out here, you know"Actually, it's Pierce's dad who also gifted
CHAPTER SEVENTY-SIXMALAKAI**I fall asleep at some point, and it's probably due to the IV fluids, but it isn't a deep sleep because my eyes flutter open when I hear a sound at the door."Is it already time to go?" I mutter groggily to Pierce, who is sitting on the bedside chair close to me. I feel better, but my body is still weak, my gaze shifts to the door to see the nurse who had attended to me earlier enter, but she isn't alone.The familiar figure that walks in behind her makes my heart race with surprise.Uriel?She sees me, and her eyes instantly widen with a thunderstruck look that reflects mine."Malakai, It's really you!" She rushes towards me; my weak condition seems to sober her up, or I fear that she will just jump on me. "Where have you been?!"I stare at the attending nurse, who is giving us a bewildered look. Pierce had coldly told her off when she tried to take our picture earlier. I guess she still secretly did it, but who could have imagined the coincidence?Uri
CHAPTER SEVENTY-FIVEMALAKAI **I stare at the deep scars around my flesh in dismay. Most of the skin is reddish and purplish, almost like a tattoo all over my cock; not only that, the burning sensations scream to me that I have been overused. Just staring at my dick brings pitiful tears to my eyes,"What's wrong?"I hear Pierce's deep voice from behind me, and I clench my teeth; how dare he even ask? The nerve!"My... my... It's ugly because of you!"I can barely look at the dark hickeys covering every inch of it without wincing. At times like this, I wonder if Pierce loves me or hates me. "Son't see what you're talking about. It looks fine to me," He says, and he tries to touch it, but I swat off his hand.Of course, he's going to say that!"You're just jealous that my dick looks prettier and you had to make it ugly and scary looking like yours!" I glare at Pierce, his loud laughter at my upset state makes me even more mad. I see the dark circles beneath his eyes and can't h
CHAPTER SEVENTY-FOURMALAKAI **Can you love a person so much that you hate them for it?is such a thing even possible?Pierce is beyond horrible; words cannot even begin to describe it, but every fibre of my being is honest when I say that I love him. Even knowing that his insanity knows no bounds that he is a madman who has been allowed to roam freely. Nothing and no one is safe, but my damaged soul, my messed up mind, and my broken heart only know how to love him. "I love you..." because I'm terrified not to, without these feelings, I'll be an empty shell. I may breathe, but I won't have a purpose.I have no excuse. I'm fully aware that I have been dragged to the depths of hell by him, but he makes this hellish cage feel like heaven, and I'm so intoxicated. I feel like that insect sucking the sweet nectar of a carnivorous plant. Only destruction awaits it.Pierce has shown me yet again what he is capable of; he doesn't even hide his demons from me; he gives me a glimpse and
