Arawn I’m still wiping my lip as I reenter the room with the skinny woman. “So, Bridget,” I say, making her look at me annoyed. “Want to share your story with me as well? Before I let them throw your entitled ass into the East River?” She laughs, the drugs in her system blocking every function in her brain. “I have nothing to tell you.” “Fine,” I say, taking the tablet Bernard is passing me. She fidgets on her chair and bobs her leg nervously while I go through the security footage. I watch Nerthus coming into the club, and how she becomes the third wheel to her supposed friend and one of my soldiers. I have to keep myself from smiling as I watch her sipping on her drink and dancing to the music with small movements while her friend is trying to buy drugs. The footage switches as they move to the catacombs, and I know the woman already well enough to see that she is not feeling comfortable being where her friend takes her. My heart squeezes as I think how concerned she was abou
Nerthus “See you, babe! Love you!”I hear Bridget’s high-pitched voice through the door, which makes me look up. Keeping myself from answering her, I bury myself further into Arawn’s coat as I hug myself.It doesn’t take long for Arawn to open the door to my improvised cell. My smile at seeing him falls slightly as I see the angry frown on his face.“Let’s go,” he simply growls before disappearing into the hallway.Sprinting after him, I risk twisting my ankle. We exit a back door to a dark alley where there are already a few bulky men standing around, waiting for us.Reaching a black limousine, he opens the door for me to slide in before getting in after me.Just as he shuts the door behind him, the car starts rolling.He pushes out a deep sigh, and I push down the urge to speak, not wanting to interrupt him arranging the thoughts in his head.After a few moments, he clears his throat and scoots closer to lay his arm around my shoulders. “Are you still cold?”I shake my head as I le
Nerthus“I can explain,” I breathe out, making him bark out a laugh.“Oh, I’m eager to hear that explanation,” he says amused.I gulp at my heart sinking to my stomach, making him tilt his head at me. “So?”“Sorry, I didn’t think you would react like that,” I whisper, and he laughs.Clearing my throat, I shift in my seat, making him increase his hold on me. “I told you. I didn’t know how to react. And I was scared of doing something stupid that would have scared you off again.”“So, it doesn’t bother you? What I said, I mean.” He asks me, looping his fingers into the side wings of my panties.Biting my bottom lip, I shake my head. “Not at all.”He hums approvingly while he slips my panties off me. As he moves his hands up my legs again, his thumbs trace the inside of my thighs, spreading my legs slowly.Kneeling, he gets between my legs and brings my hands together behind the backrest of the chair. He holds them together with one hand while he wraps his tie around my wrists with the o
Nerthus “Do you want to tell me now, what the other thing is that she told you about me?” I’m lying on Arawns chest as I’m playing with his hand. “On top of me being a lesbian, I mean.”“You had that swirling in your beautiful head all the time, did you?” he asks me, making me giggle.“Yes. I’m way too noisy to be able to focus on something while I wait to be told something.” I say while linking my finger into his.Kissing my head, he chuckles into my hair. “Didn’t bother me as you still focused on my cock pretty well.”“You are such a pervert.” I laugh, shaking my head.He groans as he shifts beneath me and grabs my hair to turn me around to face him. “Let me get us a bottle of wine, beautiful. And we can talk before I get hard for you again.”Sitting up, I clasp my blanket to my chest, shielding myself from the cold the absence of his warm body next to mine envelopes me with.“Should I be worried?” I ask him, listening to him rummage through his kitchen in the distance.“You tell m
NerthusMy heart explodes in my chest, and I shake my head. “No! No! No! You told me I could be honest with you. You told me you wouldn’t hate me!”“I don’t hate you,” he tells me calmly while my voice gets louder.“Then why? You can’t do this. We had just discussed-”Grabbing my face with his hand, he interrupts me brusquely.“You need to calm down, Nerthus.” He orders me, making me whimper. “And you need to let me finish.”“I always do,” I say lowly, massaging my gums as he lets go of me.A loud laugh explodes from his chest. “Yeah. Yeah, you do.”Taking my glass from me and setting it down along with his, he scoots closer to me, laying his hand around my hip. I take a deep breath, his mouthwatering scent and the heat streaming from his body calming me down. “I don’t want to keep you bound by a contract where you would have to fear enduring a clause that hurts you. I didn’t know how bad it was and I shouldn’t have done it. Please forgive me.”He leaves me speechless as I never had s
Nerthus – eleven years ago “Is this your true color?” the young woman sitting next to me asks, her Spanish accent heavy in her speech.“Uh-huh,” I answer as I tear my eyes away from the bars of the cages we are sitting in.She scoffs, a tired smile playing on her lips as she shifts on the cold floor we are sitting on. “It is beautiful.”“Tha- Thank you,” I answer in a stutter, and scrunch up my nose.Francis had told me not to talk to strangers because the people in a big city would be different.‘Everybody will try to scam you,’ he told me before he finally let me board the bus which would be driving me into my new life.Scared about her speaking to me again, I lower my head.“Her family surely got a lot. Such color is rare!” Another girl with a similar accent says, scoffing.Shrugging, I hug my legs to my chest. “I- I wouldn’t know. I’m ju-just a bo-boring country girl.”“Oooh, you are good at rodeo,” a third woman shouts, making everyone in that cold cell laugh.I smile but decide
Arawn – Eleven Years Ago“What’s your name, sweetie?” one of the madams managing the whorehouses on the territory as the girl with the most beautiful eyes that I have ever seen fidgets with her fingers.“Nerthus Hendriks, ma’am.” She answers shyly, and I have to force down the urge to shift in my seat.One of the men sitting in the room with me laughs, his colleagues joining him soon after. “What a silly name.”“Oh, please, call me Theresa, sweetie.” The madam speaks again, making Nerthus’ face light up with a smile.“Okay,” she answers cutely.I am glued to the television as I see how Nerthus starts undressing herself as the madam assigned to her asks her to do so.My guts boil at the men around me starting to make indecent jokes, and surprise myself as I clench my teeth.This is not the first time they show this
Nerthus“Oh, beautiful bitch, you are glowing!” I chuckle as Gigi presses a huge smack on my cheek.Pursing my lips, I move to sit at the bar next to him. “I needed to hear that! I had an ugly night.”“If you choose to bed with the snakes,” he sighs, and I know exactly who he refers to. He waves at Simone, who serves me a glass of wine, and I thank her with a smile.“Well, I got my favor, and she pissed off the king, so the chances are good that I’ll never see her again,” I say, taking a sip from my drink.He lifts his glass of beer and cheers. “Might all our snakes be replaced by big cocks.”I nearly choke on my drink and cough as he snickers. “You are impossible.”“So, I guess your career with us ends already?” Ha asks, making me nod.“Yeah, I’m afraid it would collide with my main job that I just got back. But I can still help out once in a while, if you need me to.”He shakes his head, taking another sip with a sigh. “I wonder how long you two will go on calling it a job.”“Hey,”
