A dull ache began in the spot where the man had inserted his teeth, and it grew gradually by every minute until it had become a searing agonizing pain that clawed at my mind and at my body. Whimpering, I tried to free myself, only to be held steady.
"You aren't going anywhere." Came the man's voice from all around as the pain intensified.
Letting out a scream, I felt myself become completely overcome by what could only be described as burning. It felt like I was being burned alive before it all stopped, and I was left floating in a dark abyss.
Looking around, I tried to figure out exactly where I was. There seemed to be no signs of life and no light to be found. I couldn't even see my hand as I lifted it directly in front of my face. If I didn't know any better, I would think that I had died and this was what came after.
As I tried to figure out what exactly was going on, a small shuffling and then a grunt drew my attention. Whirling, I tried to find the cause of the noise but came up shorthanded.
Around me, I could hear the shuffling and grunting growing louder as a voice began to let out unrecognizable words. It seemed that it was looking for something but wasn't able to find it, and that was making its frustrations grow. I didn't quite know how I knew that was what was going on, but I could just feel it as if I myself were the one experiencing it. Odd.
"Why..." a deep voice rumbled as I began to feel like I was suffocating. "Why is there nothing?" The voice sounded on the edge of snapping as it spoke.
Opening my mouth, I attempted to speak, only to have the voice give a bellowing growl of rage at not being able to discover what it wanted.
With a jerk, I was falling and then crashing against something hard and cold. In my chest, my heart was pounding rapidly as a cold sweat sprung up on my skin. It seemed that I was back in my body once more.
Opening my eyes, I stared into anger-filled red eyes that looked hungry for blood.
"How is it you have no memories?" The man demanded, grabbing me by my shoulders. "What kind of trick is this?"
"I told you." I chuckled, locking my gaze with his. "I can't remember anything, not even my own name. You should learn to trust people more."
The man narrowed his gaze at me as his huner-filled eyes drfited from my face down my body, stopping moentarily to take in my heaving breasts, and then continued up before resting on the spot on my neck where my jugular would be located.
"Should I just kill you then?" He mused as a sinister smile began forming on his face. "It isn't like you are useful to me anyway."
Was this man really talking about killing me right in front of my face? And he was even doing it with a smile.
"Can't you just let me go?" I asked slowly, even though it sounded absolutely ridiculous to me. "It isn't like I'm a threat to you."
The man smirked, "You snuck into the bedroom of a royal and expect to be let free? Most would be beheaded on the spot; I gave you a curtesy by allowing you to live this long."
The bedroom of a royal? Was this man saying that he was royalty? What the hell had I woken up to? What kind of place was this, exactly?
"How about we make a deal?" I tried, as fear of being killed right here and now began to squeeze at my heart.
"A deal?" The man asked, lifting an eyebrow. "Why would I possibly make a deal with a pathetic human?"
"Because I can be useful to you." I tried forcing a smile. "Since I'm a human, doesn't that mean that I can pretend to be part of your enemy and sneak in and get information for you?"
It was probably an absolutely ridiculous idea, but I wanted to live, dammit!
"What makes you think I need you to do anything for me?" He asked with a chuckle. It seemed he wasn't going to give in so easily.
"Because it could help you get the upper hand." I pointed out. "Or, I could become your servant. I could cook, clean, and do the laundry, and I could be a blood source for you since I'm human. I'm like a walking blood bag at your disposal."
I realized that I had begun to ramble, but my nerves were getting the best of me, and I was pulling everything out of my ass as I went. I didn't want to die, and I needed this guy to agree to keep me alive under some deal or another.
"Blood source?" He asked as amusement began to light his face. "Are you openly asking me to drink your blood? Did you enjoy it that much?"
No, I didn't enjoy it; it was extremely painful, but I wasn't ready to die yet!
"Sure, yeah, I enjoyed it." I said quickly, trying not to grimace.
Tilting his head back, the man gave a loud laugh that filled the room around us.
"You're quite amusing, human." He said, fixing his red gaze on me once more. "Fine, I will give you a chance to prove your worth."
"Really?" I asked, beginning to perk up. "What do you want me to do?"
The man allowed a broad smile to form on his face before his eyes traveled down to my breasts again, and his eyes grew darker.
"I will keep you alive, but in return, you are going to be my slave." He said slowly. "And as my slave, your first order is to please me."
Please him? Did he just say please? Was I misinterpreting his words here?
"Please you?" I repeated, trying to keep my voice from cracking. "What do you mean exactly?"
"Are you really questioning my order after you tried so hard to convince me to make a deal?" The man asked, sitting on his bed. Resting one leg on top of the other, he watched me with a bemused expression, waiting for me to decide what I was going to do.
Taking a deep breath, I tried to calm my racing heart as I realized exactly what it was that he wanted from me. Fixing my eyes with his, I grabbed the hem of my shirt, ready to begin trying to save my ass.
"By slave, do you mean this?" I asked as I slowly began to lift my shirt. "You want me to be your sex slave?""Is there a problem?" The man asked, smirking. "You said you would become my servant if I let you live; I am giving you a chance.""That isn't the type I was talking about!" I insisted, narrowing my gaze.Sure, I wanted to live, but I didn't want to become some whore in the process.Standing, the man made his way to me, stopping only an inch away before reaching up and grabbing my chin so he could force me to make eye contact with him."My patience is limited, woman." He growled. "Will you be my slave, or do you want me to kill you?"Did I want to be his slave, or did I want to die? The answer was pretty damn obvious, I wanted to live, even if it meant giving up my dignity.Taking a deep breath, I braced myself. Even though I didn't agree with this method of living, I also wasn't ready to die, at least not until I got my memories back. Even after I didn't, but for now I could
Moans erupted from my lips as the man began trailing his fingers along my clit, coming dangerously close to my core, then stopping and moving up again. It shook me to my core just how much I was actually allowing him to do to me, but it felt so damn good.As he pushed himself against me, I could feel his erection rubbing against my leg as pants of pleasure escaped him; it seemed he was enjoying this as much as I was."Woman..." He growled, pulling away to gaze into my eyes. "What is this?""Hhhmmmm...." I murmured, unable to even think straight. "What is what?"He seemed perplexed as he continued to study me, like I was some strange creature he had never encountered before.Even with blood smearing his lips, he looked absolutely enthralling, and my need for him to fuck me grew stronger."What do you mean?" I whispered as my body screamed for more. "I don't understand."Smiling, he leaned down and pressed his lips against mine while his fingers continued to move until one slipped insid
The sound of a door opening broke me from my reverie as Elias returned from wherever he had disappeared. Looking over, I found him watching me while sipping on a glass of wine."Are you still in my bed because you wish for more women?" He asked, eyes flashing.Even though I didn't want to admit it, the way this man was looking at me made just below my belly button tug in a not-so-unfavorable way. I couldn't be sure, but it seemed that whatever he had done to me earlier had left quite an impression on my body."Who am I to decide what you can and can't do?" I asked, trying to keep the flush from forming on my face."Smart." Elias said as a smirk formed on his face.Of course I was smart; I didn't have a death wish. "Thank you.""Since you seem to enjoy lying in my bed, shall I show you what it means to be a proper slave?" Elias asked now, making his way towards me.Again, my mind screamed that I shouldn't be getting hot and bothered by this man; however, my traitorous body was beginning
"Is everything okay on the outside?" I asked, trying my hardest to keep the dirty thoughts that were beginning to roam through my head at bay. "It wasn't that serious?"Elias frowned. "Didn't I already tell you that it wasn't any of your concern?"I nodded. "However, I have to live here, and I would rather not have to worry about being killed just yet.""You really think the enemy would be able to make it past the gates with their lives?" Elias asked, his gaze darkening. "Are you doubting my men's ability?"When he put it like that, it did sound like that was what I was doing; however, I just wanted to live, and that was it. Hell, I had gone as far as becoming this ridiculous vampire's slave in order to do so."Of course I'm not." I said trying to look pitiful. "I'm just afraid.""If you are to be afraid, you should be afraid of me." Elias said, flashing a smile. "I am capable of so much worse than those damned holy knights are.""So sorry," I said. "I will not doubt you ever again." T
"You want to tell me a story?" I asked, quirking a brow. What kind of story could this old man possibly want to tell me?"That is correct; it is about a blossoming land that is one day cursed." Wilson explained.Was he referring to Elias' kingdom? Did he really trust me enough to tell me the history of this place and how it came to be cursed?"Sure, if it is okay for you to tell me." I responded quietly.I most certainly didn't want this old fella to get in trouble with Elias for telling me something that I had no business knowing. However, based on the smile he was giving me, I assumed that it was probably okay."Then would you care to take a walk in the garden with me while I tell you?" He asked now, watching me expectantly.I nodded. "Sure."The garden outside the castle was grand; many large trees with black and red leaves littered the grounds, while black rosebushes lined the trails. Even though the ground was covered in snow, they grew in abundance, something that I couldn't quit
"Is there no way to find him?" I asked Wilson as we continued to sit in silence. "I mean, how has he remained in hiding for the past one hundred years?"Wilson frowned. "Some say that he no longer lives, and that is why we can't find any signs of him. Others say he resides on an entirely different plain now.""Another plain? Like a magical realm?" Despite having seen enough, it was still pretty mind-blowing to hear talk of such things."That is correct, one that only the holy knights know how to get to." Wilson explained. "Our king's army has been searching for many, many years to find the mage with no luck.""Does that mean, in the end, there isn't anything else that can be done?" I pushed."The king and Prince Elias are doing their utmost to try to find him." Wilson assured me before standing. "I've kept you here long enough with my rambling. I should show you to your quarters.""Sure," I said, standing.Even though I wanted to know more about the curse and the mage, it seemed that
As I lounged on my bed, staring at the roof with nothing else to do after Anna left, a knock sounded on the door. Quickly getting up, I rushed over, expecting to find Anna there, saying that she had forgotten something. Instead, I found myself standing face-to-face with Wilson."To what do I owe the pleasure?" I asked curiously, eyeing the old man as he stood at attention."The master has asked me to retrieve you for him." Wilson said, bowing slightly.The master... that meant that Elias had decided that he wanted to have me for breakfast. I couldn't stop the tingling that had begun between my thighs at the thought of Elias needing me. My accursed body seemed to have missed him."Sure, just let me change really quick." I said, closing the door and hurrying to throw on the red dress that Anna had brought me.After quickly brushing out my wild black hair, I decided I was presentable enough and headed out to find Wilson still waiting for me. Smiling, I allowed him to begin leading the way
I collapsed against Elias' bed as he continued to relentlessly fuck me. Moans erupted from my lips as his thrusts sent me into convulsion after convulsion. This was the fourth time now; no matter how many times he went, he just continued; it was like he was insatiable."Enough...." I panted as I began to reach my limit. "I can't...."Ignoring me entirely Elias lay atop me while using his mouth to cover mine, stopping my protests as he continued to move, shoving his dick deep into me and pulling it out again and again.Satisfied that I was done protesting, his mouth released mine so that it could find my neck once more.As more of his venom entered my system, I felt a new round of energy overtake me, causing my body to enjoy what was being done to it all over again, even if just minutes prior I hadn't."That's right." Elias' voice spoke within my mind. "Just let go and let your instincts take hold."I couldn't stop myself from thinking he was right. I should just let myself enjoy and be
