Amelia put one foot on the floor, followed by the other. She stood up and tried to pull down the lingerie that was barely covering her thighs. She was tempted to look at Alexander who sat on a chair at the far end of the room, but she knew that if she did, she would see the hunger in his eyes, and she’d lose her nerves.
Her palms were sweaty, and her heart was pounding heavily.She glanced over at Alexander again and her heart skipped a beat. He was still sitting over at the table, pretending as though he had no idea that she was in the room.Alexander gulped down hard as he tried to control the feelings that engulfed him the moment he perceived her scent. She smelled of vanilla and strawberry, and all he dreamt of was digging his head into her bare chest.His feet trembled when he felt her eyes on him, but he remained still; pretending to be engrossed in a work on his desk.Alexander could feel the restlessness that emanated from Amelia. He heard her silent sighs and the noise her body made from constant shifting.Still, he couldn’t bring himself to stand to his feet. That was completely strange because never in his life did he feel so intimidated by the mere presence of a young girl.Finally, he stood up and trudged towards her, with desire burning in his eyes.“I want to see you dance”, he said in a husky voice, trying so hard to remain calm despite how alluring and enticing she looked.Amelia swallowed hard. Her eyes darted to a dark corner of the room that was dimly lit. The sights of what she saw made her heart drop.Submissive mask, sex swings, spreader bar, chest harness, sex cuffs, leather bandages, slave collar and some other unidentifiable things were clearly in view.Fear gripped Amelia as she narrowed her eyes to his blue eyes that stood across her.“Who are you? What do you do with all of these?” She asked and wrapped her hands around her chest.“You would know that, soon. Now, dance”, Alexander ordered and sat at a side of the bed, with his legs crossed.Amelia stood to her feet and started swinging her body slowly. She was a good dancer, and she wasn’t surprised when his eyes lit up in excitement.She moved her waist and dropped to the floor, moving up almost immediately to continue with the rhythm.“That’s enough!” Alexander suddenly said, making Amelia stop in her tracks.“Can I go now”, Amelia pleaded, clearly uncomfortable with what she wore.“Not so fast”, he smirked and grabbed her on the wrist. He pushed her to the bed until she groaned in pain. Her heart beat increased, and she made to scream for help. However, she recalled that it would only be a waste of time. Nobody would help her out, even if they hear her.Alexander picked out a leather strap and used it to hold her legs apart. He ignored Amelia’s silent whimpers as his eyes travelled down her thighs.“Please, I haven’t done this before”, Amelia said and immediately, he raised his head to peer into her soft eyes.For a minute, Amelia observed a soft glint of emotions that passed through Alexander’s eyes. She heaved out in relief when he finally retreated and stood to his feet.“You are something strange”, Alexander scoffed, with his back facing Amelia who tried to coil up her herself on the bed. She still had the leather strap on her legs and that made her movement limited. “You are the strange one here”, she muttered under her breath, without an idea that he picked out her words.“Yes! I’m the strange one because I own you. I mean, I bought you!” Alexander said and laughed slightly.Amelia glared at him with disgust written all over her face. She couldn’t say why she wasn’t extremely frightened by his words or utterances. The only thing that sent cold shivers down her spine were the series of objects that laid at a corner of the room. She had only seen those in movies and her heart never accepted the fact that someone would have them laying at the comfort of his room. “Others don’t reply t
The door creaked open and Alexander poked his head into the room where he had left Amelia in all through the night. He was merciless with people who went against his orders and that gave him the power he craved for.Amelia was still strapped to the bed. She must have cried her eyes out until there were no more tears in them. At this point, she only sniffed hard and mumbled some inaudible words.Alexander could say that she barely had any sleep all through the night. How could she have slept when her entire body burnt with pain?He gulped down hard and walked into the room. It was just 5:am, but he was ready to let her go. He didn’t have a great night himself, because he kept reminiscing on how disrespectful she sounded while talking to him. Somehow, he also thought of the level of pain she would be in since her hands were hung in an excruciating manner. All those disturbed his heart all through the night. “It’s morning!” Alexander announced as he folded his hands behind his back an
One paced around the room, with Amelia staring at her and wondering why she suddenly became so tensed and uncomfortable.None of the ladies had ever spent a night out in Alexander’s room, and discovering that Amelia did just that caused One to go mad in rage.“I waited for you all night, but you had better plans, didn’t you?” She asked Amelia, who cursed under her breath.She blamed Alexander for every bit of what happened at the moment. If he hadn’t left her strapped to the bed, she would have returned to the room and spared herself this drama.“You need to understand me. He strapped me to the bed and made it unable for me to move an inch. There was no way for me to leave the room”, Amelia explained as tears welled up in her eyes.“Did you try to seduce him?” One asked, and Amelia’s jaws dropped in shock.She looked at One unbelievably, but retreated her gaze the moment she saw the fire that was burning in them.“You tried to seduce him, right?” One asked as she took slow strides towa
“Let’s eat!” Alexander suddenly said, and everyone’s eyes widened in shock.How would he shove aside such behavior coming from Amelia?One shifted uncomfortably on her seat and shot a dead glare across to Amelia, who heaved a massive sigh of relief.Amelia didn’t want to think of an additional punishment, and so, she felt glad that he pardoned her.“I would pardon her for this one”, Alexander added as he gazed at Amelia, who flinched and returned her eyes to the food before her.Inasmuch as she was hungry, she couldn’t find the appetite to it. Knowing that Alexander was sitting across her even made her feel worse. All she could think of was how he had danced at her front without clothes on…Her stomach twirled and she suddenly felt nauseous.“I’m not starving!” Amelia commented, while Alexander quickly looked up at her.“Everyone must eat during breakfast. That is part of the rule”, one explained, and Alexander nodded his head in appreciation to what she just uttered.That saved him th
Amelia’s world collapsed to her feet when Alexander disappeared from the scene. He didn’t care, neither did he spare her another glance.One stood at the corner with a smirk on her face. She was the only one who stayed there to witness Amelia’s punishment. Other ladies had retreated to the quarters since they were unable to stay and watch the scene.The security guards finally grabbed Amelia, who was crying profusely. They laid her on the platform, with her back facing them and almost immediately, they first stroke landed on her back.Amelia screamed like she had never done before. Never in her life have she been subjected to such pain. Her back was sore and aching already, and yet, another set of pain was being inflicted on her.She cursed her foster parents, who allowed such evil to befall her. She cursed Alexander for being so cruel and finally, she closed her eyes to accept her fate.The next stroke came and again, she screamed in pain. She was crying now and could barely see since
Amelia’s eyes were still shut in fear while she shivered. She knew that she had seen a shadow that stood right there in front of her, and thoughts of what it might be caused her heart to ache. She slowly opened her eyes and saw a mug that was passed to her from the opening in the bar gate.“Who are you?” She asked as she jerked up in a frenzy.“Don’t be so loud, or they would hear us!” She heard a whisper that made her gulp down hard.“Who are you?” She whispered as she gazed at the coffee that still had steam oozing out of it.Noah finally left his hiding place and sat right at the front of the bar gate. He smiled and that showed his dimples that wasn’t so visible in the dark.“I’m Noah!” He said and took in a deep breath.Amelia couldn’t contain the joy she felt in the moment. He was a human, after all! Not a ghost or shadow like she had thought.“I’m…”, she trailed off when she was unable to figure out the exact way to introduce herself.“I’m Eleven”, she introduced, almost chokin
Amelia woke up to a hushed voice that didn’t sound far from where she laid. She struggled to lift her eyelid since it seemed as though there was a heavy weight on it.She let out a soft groan as her eyes finally shot open. Noah was there, staring at her keenly, with a torch that illuminated the area and gave a clear view of her face.He was stunned at her beauty, even though her face looked swollen and for a minute, all he did was stare at her and gape in amusement.Amelia used the back of her hands to shield her eyes from the intensity of the light that struck her eyelids. She wondered who it was, but smiled calmly when she caught a glimpse of Noah’s head. “Noah! Is that you?” Amelia asked as Noah finally lowered the torch and laughed aloud.“Hi Amelia! How are you feeling this morning?” He asked Amelia who scrunched her brows and threw a confused gaze at him.She had no idea of what the time was and the darkness of the dungeon made her unaware of what the time might be.“It’s morni
“Eleven?” One asked with a wide eye that showed how shocked she was with Alexander’s reply.“But she spent the night with you barely two days ago, and is still serving the punishment that came as a result of her disobedience”, One tried to explain, just incase Alexander was currently having a slight memory loss.Alexander slammed his fist on the table, causing each of the ladies to jerk up in fright. He darted his attention to One who swallowed hard and lowered her head to the ground.“Are you indirectly insinuating that I might be suffering from temporary memory loss?” Alexander asked defiantly while One mumbled some inaudible words.“I’m talking to you!” He yelled angrily while she jerked up and shook her head negatively.“The next time you make such utterance, a week won’t be enough time you would spend in the dungeon”, he said, meaning every single word.“You all are dismissed”, Alexander ordered as they all walked out of the dining hall.Most of the ladies were shocked to their b
