Ivan’s POV

“I’m sorry.” She apologized again as she averted her eyes from my gaze. Her dark brown hair fell over her face and all I wanted to do at that moment was to tuck the hair behind her hair.

I’d tried so hard to ignore the fact that my body was calling out to her but her white see-through nightgown made it almost impossible for me to look away from her impeccably perfect body.

Her slim, long fingers interlocked each other and I couldn’t help the smile that formed across my face, she was nervous and it’s been years but she hadn’t stopped doing that.

Her face was slightly down as she stared at her feet, not daring to look me in the eyes. The way she batted her eyelashes as she bit her lower lips made some sort of vibration go through my body.

I wanted to lift her head up and kiss her extremely soft lips, I’d forgotten what they tasted like after that first night.

Shaking the gentle thoughts I had of her out of my head, I reminded myself that she was only in my house because she’s a prisoner.

“Change out of that damn nightgown,” I ordered, my fist clenching as my dick kicked and it took all that I had in me to not pin her to the wall and fuck her there, although I might do that soon.

“What if I’d come here with a friend, one would think you are decent but you haven’t even spent the night here and you’re already showing me what’s supposed to be under your clothes.” I snarled at her as my eyes sized her up.

She lifted her gaze immediately, I could see the anger in her eyes as she stared at me but I didn’t break eye contact.

I dare her to say or do whatever it is she had in mind.

“Oh, did I say something demeaning that your self esteem has gone down the drain?” I taunted as I moved closer to her.

I wished my whole being would understand that I do not want to make love with Lexi Finn. I wanted to fuck her and make her feel pain in places that her princess like self never thought she could ever feel pain.

But it felt as though anytime I set my eyes on her there’s a different part of me, the part of me that wants to devour her in a good way.

The part of me that wants to hold her so tight that I’ll be able to carry her scents everywhere I go so I would never again forget how sweet she smells.

“You don’t dress like this unless I ask you to. Now, you know what to do.” I swallowed, my eyes trapping hers and she’d tried to move but she couldn’t.

Averting my eyes from her gaze, I let out a dry cough as I made my way to the kitchen to get myself a glass of water and also a hold of myself because it seemed like I’m a different person when I’m around her, just like in high school.

Who would’ve thought that the proud Lexi that dated a baseball player in high school would be a virgin in her twenties? I never expected it.

Pouring myself a glass of water, I let out a groan as I pressed down hard on my boner to suppress it but the moment just a flash of her face, her innocent eyes and eyelashes flashes through my mind, it kicks again.

What the hell is wrong with me?

Pacing around, “Can I help you, Master?” An electronic voice asked and I shook my head negatively.

“I’m fine, Optimus. Shut….”

“You seem nervous, you’re sweating more than usual and your heartbeat has increased to 105 beats per minute. That is really bad.” Optimus read out my vitals and at that moment I hated myself for building something as intelligent as this.

“Shut down, Optimus.” I ordered and it stopped talking and moving around. Placing my hand on my chest, my eyes widened when I realized that Optimus was right.

My phone rang and all of my thoughts about Lexi came to a halt as I picked the call, “What is it now Reece? Don’t you sleep?” I asked.

“I do but since you’re the horrible boss that can’t keep an assistant, I have to be your assistant and I called to tell you that you have a meeting tomorrow.” Reece went on about my schedule for tomorrow but I also had other other plans and wouldn’t be able to attend.

I needed to see Lexi’s stepfather tomorrow because that’s when the proper exchange will take place. Smiling to myself, I couldn’t wait to finally have Lexi under my full control with no way out.

“Cancel all my plans for tomorrow and take over with Ansel, I have other plans.” I responded and she’d wanted to say something but I hung up before she could.

Walking out of the kitchen, I made my way down the hall to my study. Sleeping would be difficult for me and so I needed to stress myself out before thinking of going into my room.

I worked late into the night and soon my eyes got too tired to keep up anymore. Yawning, I left my study to go into my room when I stopped abruptly at Lexi’s door.

I couldn’t hold myself and I also don’t want to give her the impression that she’s safe with me. Turning the door knob, the door refused to open until I knocked.

Lexi stood in front of me in pajamas and I groaned again because despite it being less sexy, she looked hot as fuck.

“Why is the door locked?” I demanded, she stopped rubbing her eyes at once as she stared at me like a little child.

“Did someone cut your tongue or strip you of the ability to speak?!” I yelled, making her jump in fear. Her body trembled under me when I held her by her throat so that she was finding it difficult to breathe.

“I… I’m sorry… I didn’t..” she gagged, tears trickling down the side of her eyes as she tried to apologize to me.

Blinded with rage, I flung her so hard that she almost hit her head on the bedpost but I couldn’t care less.

“Get on the damn bed,” I ordered as I pulled off my shirt. I will literally die if I don’t have her tonight, “GET ON THE BED AND PULL OF YOUR CLOTHES!” I roared when she didn’t move the first time.

Without saying a word, I watched as she moved to the bed out of fear, her eyes begging me not to do what I wanted to do to her.

The fear in her eyes, the feeling of her being humiliated and being unable to do anything about it gave me so much satisfaction than I thought it would.

“Please, don’t do this to me,” she cried but I only smirked, “I’ll do anything, Ivan, just please.” She begged.

The more she begged me to stop, the more I wanted to make her cry and the sound of my name rolling out of her tongue made me go crazy with desire.

I was done waiting for her to pull off her clothes, dragging her by her feet, I made sure that she was laying back down on the bed.

The sound of her cries and her clothes rippling filled the room as I placed my lips on hers. I wanted to stop and kiss away her tears but that would only mean I’m weak whenever it came to her.

She’d clenched her thighs together but I easily separated it with my knee, my fingers fiddled with her clit and made it wet enough for me to slide into her without much difficulty.

“Don’t do this,” her voice came out more like a whisper and she gasped when my dick found its way into the opening between her legs.

God, she’s so tight and it makes me want to cum as soon as my dick slid in.

Crying, Lexi laid there while I pounded into her roughly and mercilessly. Her eyes rolled as she tugged on the sheet and she’d even turned to bite it.

Soon, my orgasm built up and I could feel myself ready to burst my loads inside her so I pulled out as fast as I could and my semen landed on her naked belly as I let out a satisfied groan.

“Clean up when you’re ready.” I breathed as I picked up my shirt and walked out of her room. I was really tired and I knew I’d fall asleep as soon as I hit my bed.

I felt bad for how I treated her. I would never have treated any other female like that but Lexi Finn made me the monster that I am now.

She has to feel what I felt years ago and it’s probably too much like Reece had said but how would she know how I felt if she didn’t feel it herself.

“Welcome to my den, Lexi Finn.” I groaned to myself as I laid on my bed.
