Mag-log inA nervous sound slipped out of me as his words sounded funny to my ears.
I let out an embarrassing snort, only to pause when I took in the seriousness in his face. I stammered on words, not knowing the right way to ask my question. I did not want to seem inexperienced for some reason, even though I was. “I thought we were going to kiss and…” the words trailed off my lips as he cut me off. “Have you forgotten my rules from earlier?” He questioned, his dark and serious eyes burning into me. I shook my head in answer. “We are never going to kiss on the lips, baby girl. Not now, and not ever,” he growled. “But why?” I questioned in confusion, knowing kissing was a big part of intimacy. His expression turned into a scowl as his eyes darkened. “They are some things left better when you have no idea of them,” his voice spoke volumes of finality. I nodded knowing he did not want to keep on talking about it. I felt immensely vulnerable—yet, I had this sickening sense of power being under his gaze, watching the way he looked at me. No man had ever seen me naked before. The disgusted looks Xavier sent my way during our subtle kisses, or when he had to touch me increased my unease of undressing before a man like him. And the thought of it, made my stomach twist in fear. His lazy gaze met mine, brimming with a certain kind of hunger. The cool air of the room filled me, my small perky breasts were left in the open. My nipples stood under his attention, hard from the cold and his hungry gaze he sent me. And that was when I finally saw him twitch. He ground his teeth, sucking in a deep breath at sight of me. A low growl ripped from his throat, as he moved closer towards me on the pole. “You have the most beautiful body I’ve ever seen,” his breathy voice came. His hot breath fanned my neck, as soft lips trailed down my skin. I twisted sideways giving him more space, while he inhaled my scent. “And your scent…it is as beautiful as your body—I could drown in it, and it still wouldn’t be enough.” He murmured. His hands slid down my open legs, slipping in between my thighs. His fingers rubbed a slow upward circle towards the line off my g-string. My mouth parted slightly. A breathy gasp escaped me at the sensations which his touch sent through me. “Your skin,” he breathed, his eyes following the movement of his hands. “It’s as delicate as silk, yet supple, and very much intoxicating,” he muttered, his body pressing into mine. My eyes slid down, noticing he was still fully clothed. His thick fingers moved towards my core, trailing the center as if marking its axis. I let out a sharp breath from the sensation of being touched there for the first time, then gasped loudly when his fingers slid off the line of my g-string. It felt absolutely raw, and I shivered, my fingers darting out and clutching his shirt tightly. He rubbed my clit in slow deliberate circles, smearing my wetness over my folds. He gave it a light tug, which was accompanied by a sharp pinch that made me moan louder with heat pooling between my thighs. “You are a bad girl, aren’t you? You like your pleasure with a hint of pain?” he growled darkly. His voice sounded rich and velvety, enough to send a pool of wetness running down my thighs. My legs trembled lightly, growing weak at the thought of what this man could do to my body. His fingers left my clitoris, and this time, he dipped into my entrance, sinking just the tip inside. I cried out softly at the intrusion. His lips distracted me by leaving a layer of wet kisses down my neck, over my throat and towards my open breast. Leaving thick marks on my skin. He moved his fingers slightly, and I cried out at the feeling of him moving inside me. He continued the journey of his mouth over my breast. His lips wrapped around my breast, as he bit harshly on the swell of my boobs—hard enough to cause me pain. My eyes squeezed shut, throwing my head back as a loud moan ripped out from me all the while still grinding on his fingers. He soothed the pain by trailing wet kisses on the spot, then his lips latched on my nipples. I arched back, pushing my breast into his mouth while moaning endlessly. His fingers moved, sliding deeper into me, drawing a sharp cry from my throat. He cursed when the elastic of the g-string kept obstructing his movements “Fuck it,” he growled, tearing it off me, almost like he could barely hold himself any longer. Throwing it somewhere in the room, he lifted me in his arms easily. My shaky limbs were grateful, clinging to him as he moved towards where the pole stood. “It’s time for your punishment baby girl.” He clasped my hands to the straps on one of the poles, then moved to do the same on the other, as panic slowly ate its way up my insides. “What are you doing?” I asked nervously, tugging against the cuffs wrapped around my wrists. I pulled harder, but they still didn’t bulge. His green eyes lingered on my face like always. “Do you trust me baby girl?” He asked, his piercing eyes brimming with an edge of darkness. The danger in his eyes should have had me running away from him, yet I could not bring myself to run away. “Yes sir,” I breathed. One word, and the darkness in his eyes glinted, as his lips tugged up slightly. He stepped forward, pressing a slow kiss on my forehead, “Good girl,” he muttered, his heated gaze looking at me with approval. The look alone sent flutters of lust through me, soaring like a volcano in eruption. I realized right at that moment that my body would do anything for his approval. The rattle of chains echoed behind me, and I felt his presence at my back. A soft, feather-like material, trailed down my back to my exposed ass, making me squirm at ticklishness. A laugh burst out of me but it was quickly replaced by a scream, as pain shot through me from the suddenness of being whipped. Almost instantly, the sting was soothed with a gentle caress on that spot, his lips kissing where he just flogged. His tongue darted out to lick the mark making me purr in delight, when he sucked on the tender spot over and over. He repeated the motion all over again—whip and then kiss. Commanding me to count each strike as my ass till it was red, only for him to soothe the pain, sucking on it with his mouth. My thighs trembled with a mix of pleasure and ecstasy. I must be sick, finding delight in being flogged, I thought. My breathing grew heavier, as I twisted around in the chains, trying to squeeze my thighs together to get friction. My mind was already clouded and teetering on the brink of a pending orgasm—my first one. “Please…” I moaned loudly, not even knowing what exactly I was begging for, but I wanted him to touch me. My cunt was already dripping with arousal. “Please what baby girl? You need to spell out what you are begging for,” he said, his intoxicating, musky scent wafting in my nose, driving me mad with desire for him. “Please sir, please touch me…make me cum,” I replied breathlessly. It felt like I'd go mad if he didn’t touch me this very minute. But then, I watched him pause.“Ha ha ha,” her laughter filled the air, and then she snarled.“You must have missed me so much Leah,See, you recognized my voice instantly,” she hissed.My hands clenched tightly on the phone, my blood soaring in my veins as I barked.“Where are my children, Jennifer?Where have you taken them to?” I yelled in rage.But she just laughed louder.“Oh Leah, You should really learn courtesy when speaking to me.You don’t want to know how loud your daughter can cry, do you? Come on, I’ll show you,” she muttered cruelly, and I could hear the shuffling of feet.“Jennifer, I swear if you…”My words were cut off by what sounded like a loud slap, as a loud cry filled the air.One I never want to hear again till the day I die.“Come on, cry for your mommy, tell her to come and save you,” Jennifer’s hateful voice came.“Mummy!” That childish cry came and a sob slipped from my throat.“Ashley, are you okay baby?Did she…”“Oh no no no, Leah.That’s all you get.I’m good right,” Jennifer laughe
She asked, her eyes looking at me in curiosity.My hands trembled as I brought them to my side.And then, I struggled to school my expression as I spoke.“You don‘t need to worry about him, grandma.He is dead to me, and he won’t cause any problems.Killian had been their father since they were born, and he will always be,” I reassured her.And I saw something flickered in her eyes, before she nodded, giving me a bright smile.“Come on, Aveline, let’s go.The music should be starting any moment now.You don’t want to keep your groom waiting do you?” She teased and I laughed lightly, moving to follow her.But then, I paused, a frown on my face.“Grandma, where are the twins?” I asked in somewhat panic.The last I had seen them was early this morning, and they were still asleep when the beautician came.So I had to leave them in bed.She rolled her eyes in exasperation at me as she mumbled.“They must be with their nanny, you worry too much, Aveline.You’ll still see them at the altar.
His eyes shut slowly, his lashes wet with tears.That was until he opened them, staring at me in desperation and fear.“There’s no coming back for us, is there?” He whispered his question.And I shook my head without any hesitation in my voice. “No, there’s none, Ethan,” I answered.His lips curled into a sad smile, one that crushed my soul.“You are asking too much from me, Leah,” his hoarse voice came this time as he stared at me in pain.My lips quivered, but I was not backing out.“If you ever loved me Ethan,Even just a little bit, then you’ll free me and let me leave in peace,” I choked out.He flinched, pain crossing his beautiful features.And then, he stretched his hands to meet mine still hanging in the air.As he clasped them together, his rough palm overshadowed mine like a shield.“I promise.I swear to leave you and our children alone.I swear that I’ll never try to hurt myself again.And I swear that from this day henceforth, we'll never see each other again.”His voi
The moment his words registered in my head, I laughed.The dark and anger filled kind, one that echoed through the room as I spat.“So I was right.Everything was just a game for you."He looked at me in disbelief as he shook his head quickly.“No…no, that’s not it, Leah.I swear.Yes, I didn’t want you and Killian to get marriedBut I’m not so selfish as to pull such a move,” he said.“But you are Ethan.You are everything selfish and wicked.You never thought about how your words or actions affected anybody but yourself.You are…”“I’m not Leah!” He barked, and I flinched watching as his jaws hardened and he stared at me with so much regret.“I agree I was like that before.But I swear, I’ve changed.I would never repeat my past mistakesAs much as I hated seeing you and Killian together, I still wanted you both to get married,” he muttered.“Killian was good for you.He took care of you better than I ever did.And it hurt me more than I’ll ever say, but I swear I did none of this t
“If I had known dying would have brought you to me.Then, I would have been dead a long time ago,” he joked, trying to lighten the air after I sat there staring for what felt like an entire hour.My lips trembled, tears gathered in my eyes and I barely realized when my hold on his hand became bruising.But if he felt the pain, he barely even cared.Because his eyes remained on me, steadily.“Leah,” he said softly, raising his other hand to my face.His fingers moved in my roughened hair, moving through the strands as if to convince himself that I was there .And then, gasping for pain—he sat up as much as he could.“Leah,” he said, this time more quietly.I could see the yearning in his face as clear as day as he brought my face closer to his.And the moment our forehead touched, he sighed in what felt like relief.Like he had been holding that breath for far too long.And then, my tears came in full force.I could barely hear what he said next through the sounds of my sobs.But I kne
I stood there for a while, even after the doctor left.I could not find myself to move, as his words repeatedly echoed in my head.Ethan’s wounds were self-inflicted.But why?Why would he harm himself? I breathed hard as I tried to come up with any reason why Ethan would possibly do that, but I had none.I turned to face the operating room again, watching as he was wheeled out into the ICU.He looked pale.So pale. And I had never seen Ethan this pale before.He looked nothing like the man he was, the man I knew.No, rather, he looked weak and helpless.Having a heavy bandage wrapped around his entire back even to his front.My hands shook with the need to touch him as I watched the nurses wheel him why I followed helplessly behind them.“What have you done to yourself, Ethan?”I finally managed to sit down. Ethan was settled in his room.Although no one was allowed in.So I had to wait outside.My head rested in my palms which I had run past my hair over a hundred times today.But
