~ELOWEN~
‘’oh princess, you are in deep trouble,’’ His words resounded in my head, and suddenly he carried me in a bridal style in front of everyone present and then carried me away. His touch did something to me and heightened my emotions. I couldn’t help but moan, my voice a sultry whisper. ‘’Where…where are you taking me?”
His low, husky chuckle sent shivers coursing through my veins, and I felt his warm breath in my ear. ‘’ Somewhere you and I can be alone, Princess.’’
My body reacted quickly to his words with anticipation. Being pressed against Voridian’s chest, feeling his heart pounding against mine, was almost too much to bear. The pain I had felt in the dungeon was slowly disappearing, probably because of him.
I knew it; he had done something to me, and it was the only reason my body was reacting to him in that manner.
His fingers flexed around me, his grip tightening around my waist. I couldn’t help but wonder if he was also affected by me.
‘’oh princess, I am sure affected!’’ he responded.
I gasped, suddenly remembering that he could hear my thoughts. "Voridian..." I muttered his name, my voice trembling with his need to touch me.
As if hearing my thoughts again, he chuckled. "Can you stop... stop reading my thoughts!"
He didn’t reply; he kept walking down the hallways, turning corners until we entered another passage. I was completely at his mercy, and I knew deep down that my body might betray me later that night.
Voridian finally stopped in front of a wooden door. The two guards there bowed their heads as soon as they saw him, then slowly opened the door for him to enter. The room was pitch black as we stepped inside, and my mind raced with fear for a few seconds.
What if he brought me here just to kill me?
"Oh, Princess," Voridian laughed as the lights flickered on. "Can you stop thinking things like that?"
Thinking? I wasn’t saying anything. He was the one who kept listening to my thoughts. "Stop reading my—"
"Never," he cut me off, carrying me further into the room and gently laying me on a bed. "I’m never going to stop listening to your thoughts because you’ve been mine ever since I took over the humans."
I wanted to argue, to scream at him, but my body wouldn’t cooperate. When he placed me on the bed and let go of my waist, the pain rushed back, and I couldn’t even say what I wanted to.
"Wha..." I swallowed hard as he loomed over me, his eyes locked onto mine. "Why..."
‘’How are you feeling?’’ he asked, grinning hard at me as if waiting for me to pour out my mind and tell him how I was feeling.
His brow raised as I figured out that he had read my mind again. ‘’why… why do you care, and what the hell am I doing here?’’
Voridian leaned closer to me, his hands pinning above my head. He chuckled as his mouth moved to where my ears were, and his breath against my skin sent shivers running down my spine. ‘’Don’t you feel the need to be around me,’’ he brought one hand to my forehead and traced a finger from my forehead to my neck, his eyes never leaving mine. I felt a burst of emotions swirling inside of me. My heart started racing like I just finished running a marathon; my skin tingled with anticipation, and then I felt my legs shake.
He had not even started touching me in the sensitive spots yet, and I was feeling like this towards me. I felt vulnerable and exposed, yet… I couldn’t help but crave his touch.
‘’Tell me what you want, princess…’’ he caressed my face and gently held my neck, his eyes still not leaving mine. ‘’ I know that you want to be touched badly by me; I can smell your aro*sal, I can hear your thoughts about the dirty things you want me to do with you.’’
I tried to resist, push him away, and make him understand that we were still enemies, but my voice broke as I spoke. ‘’Voridian, please… don’t do this.’’ I turned my face from him, thinking that if I hid myself from him, I wouldn’t desire him.
‘’Don't do what, princess?’’ he whispered in my ear, his breath caressing my skin. ‘’don’t touch you?’’ His fingers trailed my neck down to my shoulder. ‘’Don’t taste you?’’ I felt his tongue dancing across my skin, and I couldn’t stop the moan that escaped from my throat. My eyes widened, my pupils dilating as his mouth moved lower, his breath whispering in my ear. ‘’say it. You want me to kiss you right now! Just beg for it,’’ his mouth kissed the side of my lips. ‘’Embrace your feelings and succumb to them.’’
His words sounded like he was asking me to surrender myself to him. I couldn’t believe that even after Everything that had happened, I wanted my enemy. ‘’say it, Princess. Do you want me to kiss you senseless and make you scream my name? You want to be touched in all the right places and make you beg for more!’’
I shut my eyes and shouted at him. ‘’sh… shut up… that is not what…’’
‘’lies. They are all lies, and you know it. I can hear your dirty thoughts and how you want to be touched,'' he muttered.
This was a lot of torture, and shutting my eyes was not doing anything to stop my body from reacting to his touch. I couldn't resist the desire to be touched by him. ‘’I…’' my voice broke again.
“Say the word, Elowen,” he said, his tone serious. It was the first time I’d heard him address me by my name instead of his usual way. “Don’t you want to feel my lips on yours? Don’t you want to ease your pain and forget what’s happening to you now…” His lips brushed the side of my mouth, and I couldn’t stop another moan from escaping from my lips.
I squirmed beneath him, my body betraying me as I let out a cry of pleasure. “Yes, I want you.”
Voridian laughed, his eyes gleaming with amusement as if he’d been waiting for me to say it so that he could mock me. He lifted himself off me. “You have to beg for it, Princess,” he said with a chuckle, moving backward to sit on a wooden chair across from the bed, his hands folded. “Beg to be touched.” He winked, his gaze never leaving mine. ''I want you to do it on your knees.''
The pain returned, sharp and searing, making me gasp. But then I remembered my dignity. No amount of pain should make me give in to a demon like Voridian. “I am never going to beg!” I shouted, and the pain intensified, forcing me to clutch my stomach and roll on the bed. “What the hell have you done to me? Why can’t I stop thinking about your touch? Why?!”
Voridian laughed again, his voice dripping with satisfaction. “It’s what your body wants. I didn’t do anything.”
“Lies,” I spat through gritted teeth, managing to stand on shaky legs. “This is all because of you…” Tears streamed down my face as another wave of pain hit my ribs. “Everything that’s happening to me is because of you. I’m like this because you made me…” I screamed in frustration. “You know what? Go f**k yourself!”
Voridian raised his eyebrows, then chuckled. “I can’t do that. But you can beg me to f**k you,’’ he winked at me again.
Something inside me snapped, and I lunged at him, kicking his legs hard before bolting out of the room, leaving Voridian’s laughter echoing behind me. I had no idea where I was going, but I knew I had to escape and get away from him and how he was making me feel. But, as I ran, I knew I couldn’t outrun the truth.
My body wanted him.
