Chapter 7: You're Mine

He undid my bra expertly and saw my white breasts clearly. Then continued licking them.

"Edmond..." Being licked by Edmond, I could not help calling his name.

He had taken all my clothes off. I was kind of shy so I covered my eyes with my hands. However, he grabbed my hands and put them on his collar because he wanted me to see this.

"Take my clothes off." His voice was commanding and husky.

I was like a lost lamb and fell into the trap which he had led me to step by step. I loosened his tie, undid his buttons and untied his belt…

Soon, there was no clothing left on either of us. All I could see was Edmund's gorgeous muscles all over his body. His broad shoulders and hard chest was right in front of me. I also got a glimpse of his abs and more....

I clearly felt his burning desire pressed against my body as Edmund kissed my lips again, rubbing his palms over my breasts over and over again, caressing my core and then reaching between my legs.

I couldn't help but moan, a tingle of warmth came from between my legs, I hugged him tighter as he kissed my earlobe.

"Edmond, oh, Edmond..." I moaned his name again and again as his hand slipped between my thighs.

It was obvious that he was going to take the last bit of my worry and fear out, leaving me nothing but desire… desire for him. I had even parted my legs in anticipation of his next move.

The sound of his heavy breathing reached my ears, and I heard him murmuring, "Ari… My Ari… I'm here. I'm here… for you…"

My brain was in a mess and I couldn't think at all. Whatever he said, it didn't matter. At this point, I was owned by him.

"Please…" I begged. Whether it was a contract or whatever, I didn't care.

All I knew was that I wanted him. I wanted him to take me, make me his.

I never thought that this would be how I lost my virginity. I always dreamed about making love with the man I was destined to be with, my fated mate, and to have children for him. My precious first time should only be given to that special person.

I could not stand having sex with someone that didn't have my heart… but now, I was so eager for him that I didn't even want to wait for another second.

As I was lost in my own thoughts and desire, I felt some pressure, and then pain, he.... He was about to take me....

"Liana, you're mine!"

"I.... I am...." I responded as I felt something tear me apart.

The next moment, my virgin land was invaded by a foreigner for the first time, and his large member claimed every inch of it…

"It.... it hurts…" I gasped.

He licked my tears off, stopped for a second, kissing me, but still slowly, slowly pressing his body down on me.

I felt my body being slowly penetrated by him, the swelling pain coursing through my whole body…

A hot stream flowed from my core and a faint smell of blood filled my nostrils.

Through the mist of tears I saw Edmund's eyes light up, and he kissed me on the lips with unusual passion, letting his tongue linger with mine.

I was so intoxicated by him that I offered to extend my tongue in response to his kiss.

His lower body pushed forward again, and I moaned, gripping him tighter.

"Want me to stop?" he paused, waiting for my response.

"I… I don't… I don't think so," I murmured.

He kissed my cheeks as his deep voice chuckled, and I heard him say with an unsteady tone, "I will take care and I promise you'll feel better soon…"

His moves were so gentle that it was as if he truly cherished me.

Edmond's body began to ripple above me, very slowly and carefully at first.

The pain gradually disappeared, replaced by a sense of disorientation. I felt like a floating leaf on the sea, in the storm and the waves of the impact of the floating, I could not find the direction.

But… it felt good.... like I was in the clouds, I wanted more.

More of Edmond's… love.

I was shocked by the thoughts in my heart. Was I falling in love with Edmond?

But Edmond didn't give me a chance to think deeper. His thrusts sped up, and the wooden floor creaked with his movements.

"Liana, call my name," he commanded.

I was almost out of breath from him, knowing only that I would do whatever he said.

"E, Edmond…"

"Again!" he ordered as he thrusted again.

"Edmond..."

"Don't stop."

"E, Edmond, Edmond...."

I called his name over and over again, gradually losing myself in the pleasure and pain…

***

"Ari..."

"Ari..."

"Ari..."

Was Edmond calling me? Was Edmond calling my name?

But my name was not Ari!

Was I mistaken? However, I remembered that was what he called me last night.

"Liana…" he murmured, which made me come out of my trance.

I opened my eyes and saw Edmond's face, which was as angular as a perfect sculpture of some artist.

He wasn't fully awake yet, but he was calling my name and his hands were caressing my body in his sleep.

His body was pressing against mine, like inseparable lovers. My fingers caressed his cheek.

He was so handsome. If it wasn't a contract… If I wasn't involved in all those messy situations with Hank or my dad, maybe I would really like him and even fall in love with him.

But now, our relationship was no more than a business deal.

I couldn't help but laugh at myself bitterly. I had never expected that one day, I needed to sell my body and womb to get what I wanted.

What exactly is my role in all this? When I was sent to Hank, I thought I was voluntarily helping my pack. But now that I thought about it, it was more like I was sold to Hank in exchange for protection of my pack. And the seller, it was my own father.

Was I the alpha's daughter? Or was I just goods?

And then, I sold my womb to the man next to me. To him… I was probably just a container to carry his heir— a tool. And that was it.

Those thoughts made me disgusted and I wanted to break away from his embrace. However, my movements only made him hold me tighter.

The only thing I could do was to turn around. Yet, he was still holding me from behind and his palms were rubbing my breasts unconsciously, making it impossible for me to break away.

Did he have to be so seductive even when he was asleep? It was almost impossible for me to resist him… I bit my lower lip, refusing to let my body respond to whatever he was doing to me.

Then I realized that his touches were more deliberate and the breathing in my ears was becoming heavier.

He was awake!

He kissed the back of my neck and rubbed my forehead.

"Hey beautiful."

I didn't respond. Instead, trying to break away again.

He sensed my moves, and whispered, "What's wrong.... Um… Do you want more?"

My face was burning hot.

"Edmond…" I called his name but his hands kept roaming my body. My voice got lower. "Edmond, why did you call me—?"

Edmond paused and asked, "What?"

I swallowed my words. What position was I in to question him? We were bound by a contract. He would help me and I would carry a child for him. So why would it matter whose name he called or who was in his heart?

There shouldn't be any reason for me to know. Even if I asked, he didn't have any obligation to answer.

"Call you what?" Edmond asked me.

I shut my mouth. Forget it, I should not have asked him. We just take what we want from the contract. Who was I to ask so much of my customer?

"Call me… your girl?" I tried to cover it up.

"Because you can only be mine," he claimed. Edmond obviously did not think too much, he probably did not even want to analyze what was in his business partner's mind. Instead, he took something from the nightstand and put it in my hand.

"Here, keep this with you."

"What's this?"

"This is a self-defense spray. I said that I would protect you and never let Hank touch you. If he tries to force you, you can give yourself a spray. When he touches you, he will begin to hallucinate."

I was kind of confused. Why did I have to give myself a spray?

"Won't I be hallucinating too?"

Edmond shook his head and laughed, "You silly girl. It only works on men. You will be fine."

Then he tightened his arm around my waist again, and his big hand gently roamed along my waist. He whispered in a husky voice, "It's still early. Let's do it again."

I pushed him away and wrapped myself in the blanket.

"No, thank you!" I looked at the spray. "Don't make me use the spray on you!"

He stared at me for a moment and pinched the bridge of his nose…

***

I didn't see or hear from Edmond over the next five days.

I was walking up the stairs and planning to go back to my room. This place began to feel like a cage. I wanted to leave but there was nowhere for me to go. My father was becoming more and more like a stranger to me now. I could not trust or believe in him or anyone else except Edmond at this moment and even with him trust was uncertain

The cold wind blew through the window and sent a violent chill all over my body. I had to put on my coat. I got to my bedroom door but I did not open it directly. My heart beat really fast as I noticed a pair of big shoes in front of my door.

Only a fat guy like Hank could fit such big shoes.

Should I go in? Should I face this devil?

I could not help thinking of the feeling of Hank touching my waist, which made me extremely sick.

I turned around and tried to go back downstairs.

However, it was too late.

The door creaked open and the devil started speaking.

"Liana, my babe." Hank hugged me from behind. I smelt alcohol and blood, which was kind of strange. The combination made me feel really nervous and I already felt like throwing up.

The next moment, he dragged me into the room and put me on the bed. Although I was not weak, I did not have the strength to push this disgusting guy away from me.

"Gorgeous, you are mine tonight. I am going to rock your world." He laughed as he took off my clothes.
