“Stop cussing,” Iwarnedand returned my threatening gaze to her eyes. Shenow had a lovely deep red bite mark on her neck. Beautiful.
She stilled, her chest heaving up and downas her tears finally began to spill down her cheeks. Jaden wasbeautiful even when she cried.
“If you think I’m going to tolerate thissort of behavior simply because you accidentally came across yourfamily on the news, then you are seriously mistaken, my love.”
“You’re nothing to me,” she saidbitterly.
I almost laughed. If she thought I gave ashit about what she thought ofme,then she was seriously wasting her energy. I knew full well whatshe thought of me—how she felt about me—and it only motivated me tocontinue my mission to mold her into absolute perfection.
“And you’re everything to me,” I retorted,grazing the tip of my nose up the column of her throat. Her bodyshuddered from the contact, and it made my dick jump with urgency.“So much so that I’m this close to having your little familyeliminated so they can stop interfering with your conditioning. Idon’t appreciate this sort of regression.”
Her eyes widened in fear as more tearsrolled down her cheeks. I was serious. I was tired of thisbullshit, and if her familywereout of the picture, she could mourn and move on instead of plottingand hoping she’d one day be free of me so she could see them again.They were the only thing connecting her to the outside world, andit was time to sever the connection. This way, her motivation toescape would be gone as she’d have nothing to return to and shewould eventually just give in to me. Sure, she’d hate me even more,but she’d get over it. She might later conclude that I no longerhad any leverage over her, but I would always have leverage. Therewere plenty of innocent people out there, and I was a masterofpersuasion. In the end, Jadenwould realize she was mine no matter what; there was no other wayaround it.
“P-please, Darren. Please, don’t,” shepleaded quietly. She knew I was serious.
And then I smirked at her as I slowly sunkmy cock back into herheatknowingfull well she wouldn’t deny me now. God, she was still so wet,practically soaking … for me. She could deny it all she wanted, butshe loved this. Loved when I dominatedher,when I took her while she tried to fight me. Shecouldn’t let herself enjoy it untilshe,at least,put up a fight first. And that was the only reasonshe wascryingbecause she hatedherself for loving it.
“Give me another reason, and I won’thesitate to wipe everyone you love from the face of the Earth. AndI will make you watch. Go ahead and fuck withme, Jaden. Seewhat happens tothem,” I fumed, throwing her own words backin her face. She was silent for a few seconds, and I allowed it soshe could fully grasp my words.
“Y-you’re right. I’m sorry,” she whispered,fresh tears falling down her face as she relaxed her muscles andofficially submitted like a good little girl. Fucking win.
“Who do you belong to, Jaden?” I said,pulling out and then sliding back in to watch her breastsbounce.
“You,” she whispered as a sob wrenched upher throat and she finally began to cry.
Her beautiful tears ran down her face as sheultimately gave in to me. I had her, and she knew it. Her familywould always be her weakness, and so long as I had them under mythumb, she would always be reminded to behave. I didn’t wantleverageforever,though.Eventually, I wanted everything to be real, but if she continued tohave something of her past to cling to, then it never would be.
After wiping away Jaden’s tears, I fuckedher three more times that night, completing her delayed punishmentwith my belt instead of my hand against her ass until she screamedfor mercy. I made her swallow my dick for her disrespectful wordsand only then did I fuck her for the fifth and final time thatday.
By the time I was done, I barely had anyenergy left, only giving Jaden afifteen-minutebreak between each time. Her fights withme always made me super fucking hard, and she had to have realizedthis by now becauseby the end of thenight,her fury had been reduced to that of arag dollas she just laid there underneath me,comingfuriously while I drilledinto her.
When I was finally satisfied with her, itwas dark out, so I picked her up from the floor and carried herdead weight to the bed. Tucking her into my side, I laid hertear-stained face on my chest and wrapped my arm around her torsowhile draping her leg over my own. My thumb traced along the linesof her feather tattoo while she slept peacefully in my arms.
God, she was so beautiful … and resilient. Ihad poured another bucket of water onto her fire, and I wonderedhow long it would take before the embers burned wild again.Considering I had just threatened her entire reason for living andpractically fucked her to death, I had a feeling she would behavefor quite a while. It didn’tmatter,though. I knew how to get a rise from her if Iwanted one, but I think I’d prefer to enjoy her submission for alittle while longer before I start eliminating everyone she helddear. Then the real fun would begin.
ChapterTwenty-Eight
Acceptance
I woke up the next morning with a jolt froma nightmare and was consumed with more pain than I thoughtimaginable. My body ached, my ass burned, my pussy throbbed, mythroat was sore, and my eyes felt puffy and heavy from crying. Iwas a fucking wreck. When I opened my heavy lids, the light in theroom was still very dim and soft. It was probably near dawn.
I rolled over, clutching the soft bed sheetto my chin and realized Darren was not in bed with me; he wasn’teven in the room with me. I was beyond thankful. Last night, he hadcompletely destroyed my body with pain, pleasure, and more orgasmsthan I could count. After seeing my family on TV, I had obviouslybeen in a stupid, uncalculated rage, and I tried to make Darren payfor it, but I was such a stupid little girl if I thought I couldever really hurt him. And he certainly proved that to me lastnight. Eventually, I had just given up, too exhausted to continuefighting with him, and just let him prove his point until he waswell satisfied. And now I was still paying for it. I would probablypay for it for the rest of the week.
And then I realized my family could pay forit, too. When he threatened to eliminate them like that, it putthings in a whole new perspective for me. He had used them asleverage if I ever managed to kill him, but now he was using themif I simply didn’t behave for him. I definitely couldn’t letanything happen to them. I would have to behave until I figuredsomething out.
As I laid down, I realized how the pillowsand sheets smelled just like Darren. That clean musky, woodsy scentof his was engulfing me, and I suddenly didn’t want to spendanother moment in his bed no matter how shitty I felt.
I slowly rolled my naked ass off the bed,taking small steps between winces of pain as I grabbed a silkyblack robe from Darren’s closet, it reaching well passed my knees,and made my way toward the bedroom door. I was determined to sleepin my own fucking bed since he was probably gone for the day. Butas I just about grabbed the handle, a small warning shock from mycollar stunned me, and I stumbled back away from the door.
Son of a bitch.
Well,Imight not be able to leave his room, but I certainly wasn’t stayingin his bed. I decided to step out onto his balcony and watch thesunrisefrom one of the cushionedlounge chairs. But as I stepped out to admire the view, my eyesfocused on some movement on the beach.
When I focused my eyes, I realized it wasDarren. He was standing in the sand,bare-chested, black pants, and barefoot holding whatlooked like two wooden sticks in his hands. Surrounding him werefour men dressed in all black, each one holding a single woodenstick similar to Darren’s. When I focused my attention, I realizedthey were arnis sticks, another traditional weapon of a practicingmartial artist.
One man stood in front of him, one to hisback, one to his left, and one to his right. And then all at once,theyattackedhim. But, oh, he wasflawless. He maneuvered around his opponents effortlessly, blockingtheir attacks with hisarnisesandaggressively counterattacking.
Darren’s muscles flexed under the weight ofeach strike, and I found my heartbeat suddenly increase at hisgraceful yet ferocious agility. His technique was beautiful as hewielded his weapons with absolute perfection, carefully calculatingevery move, every strike, and subduing his opponents in less than afew minutes. They all laid in the sand surrounding him while theyclutched their bodies and moaned in pain. It was then that helooked up and saw me standing on his balcony, arms folded across mychest and watching him. He smirked, placed both arnis sticks in onehand, and blew me a kiss. I just stared him down before slowingturning on my heels and heading back into his bedroom.
