Rose’s POV
The Lycan’s cruel words hit me like a punch to the gut. Alpha Lewis had seemed so plausible. Like his sidekick, Connor, the driver-cum-guard.
No-one at any point had used the term ‘sex slave’ and this sounded like a whole lot more than just making my body available to Lycan Adam 24/7.
I had to admit he was attractive in a rugged kind of way, with a broad chest and the most incredible blue eyes.
That night he took me to a fancy hotel. It was humiliating to stand there in reception wearing only lingerie while he asked for a double room with an emperor size bed. I found myself plucking at the hole in my stockings as he negotiated a favourable rate.
At least they didn’t charge by the hour.
My worries weren’t over when we got into the elevator. It had mirrored glass and he didn’t hesitate to pounce, lifting up my bra cups and showing me my reflection.
“Now you look like the slut you are,” he told me.
But he wasn’t done yet and soon his fingers were making my panties sag as he rubbed my sensitive nub.
A ding made me panic and then the doors started to open. Instead of removing his hand he only increased his ministrations and I let out a strangled moan.
Fortunately there was nobody waiting, though I stared at the plush corridor carpet for long seconds, expecting company at any moment.
“Please, sir, I’m a virgin,” I said.
“So? Not another peep out of you. And you’re not allowed to come.”
That was when I realised I was wet.
This time, when the door opened, it seemed we had reached our floor. A maid was just leaving. Her look of disgust only made me feel worse.
Once I was locked inside the suite with him, Lycan Adam backed me up until I was against the wall opposite the bed. He ripped my panties away and thrust a knee between my trembling legs.
“No-oh,” I wailed, trying in vain to cover my bare pussy.
“Take a good long look,” he said. “That bed is where I’m going to take your virginity. Eventually. Prepare to be ravished. Who knows, you might even enjoy it.” Then he spun me around and pushed me forward. Momentum took me to the foot of the bed. “And for speaking out of turn, I’m going to administer a spanking. Ten, for starters.” I glanced at him over my shoulder, appalled. His grin was horrible, despite the partial smirk. “Feel free to disobey me at any point. Now, bend over and count for me, little one. If you mess up, we start again.”
I endured each blow, in denial about how it was making me feel.
“Ten,” I panted, collapsing onto the duvet.
“Did I say you could take your ease?” he roared. “Get up and face me. I want to inspect my latest acquisition.”
Someone tapped on the door, offering a turn down service. I pleaded with my eyes, knowing it had been a man’s voice.
“Sir, there is also a complimentary basket of fruit.”
“Leave it outside the door and go,” he said. I heaved a sigh of relief. That was something at least. “Now, where were we? No, don’t speak, just take off your bra and give it to me.”
When I was close enough he grabbed one of my nipples and began to roll it between thumb and forefinger. I gasped, pushing instinctively at his chest. It was a mistake.
“Forgive me, sir,” I begged. “All this is so new.”
“You have one more chance, Rose. Go outside and retrieve the fruit.”
“Like this? Can’t I at least wear a bathrobe?”
“No,” he said. “And for your insolence you’re going to put on a little show for me when you return.”
I was so tempted to run down the corridor and never look back. But there was Willow’s welfare to think about. And as close to naked as made no difference was not the way I wanted to leave any hotel, still less a five star one like this.
Squatting to retrieve the basket, making myself as small and inconspicuous as possible, I was relieved to see no-one. The door banged against my back, sending me sprawling. Mangos and oranges went everywhere. I gathered them all up before knocking urgently.
Lycan Adam didn’t open up for at least five minutes.
“Thank you, sir,” I managed, once he did.
“Apologies, I had to take an urgent phone call,” he said. The smirk told me he was lying. “Did anyone see you?”
I shook my head.
“Words, girl. You have a tongue in your head, don’t you? Use it. Which reminds me, you’ve merited a forfeit. Though the one I’m thinking of can wait until later.”
“Nobody saw me, sir,” I murmured.
“A pity. Because they were missing a treat. On your knees, little brat, legs apart. You’re going to entertain me by touching yourself until I command you to stop.”
I went as red as one of the apples in the basket.
“But, sir, it will be humiliating.”
“Do you want a second punishment, my blushing sub? No? Begin.”
It wasn’t something I’d attempted much given that I shared a bedroom with my sister. This was on a whole different level.
I set off slowly, finding my way by instinct alone.
“Am I doing it right, sir?”
His growl gave nothing away.
“Tell me, little one, why did someone as naïve as you end up in an auction house?”
“For that very reason, sir.”
“I think you’re lying, girl. Yes, feel free to rock your hips, just like that. Try again.”
“I did it for my family’s sake, sir.”
“Eyes on me.” I obeyed him, my face suffused with a mixture of shame and arousal. “Is that the whole truth?”
“Yes, sir.”
“Alpha Lewis was bidding against me. I take it you’ve heard of him?”
“Who, sir?”
“Never mind. We’re sworn enemies, girl. If I thought for one second he was manipulating me into buying you … ”
I let out a loud moan and caught my lower lip between my teeth. It distracted him only for a second.
“Oh, sir,” I panted.
“Enjoying yourself, slut? Don’t stop then, but you’re not allowed to climax. I’m going to train you properly until we won’t need words.”
“But, sir, this is pure torture.”
“You ain’t seen nothing yet, Rose. Speaking of which, take your hand away and show me your pussy. Why, you’re dripping, naughty girl. Crawl to me. I’ll take over now. And I want your eyes on mine unless I order otherwise.”
He began to finger me roughly. When his mouth closed on a nipple I cried out at the intensity of his suction.
“Please … ”
“Begging me to fuck you already? You’re a quick learner.”
“No, sir. I – I wasn’t.”
“Liar. You want me inside you. But you’re going to have to wait a while. And from now on, call me master. I’ve found it turns me on more.”
“Please stop, master.”
“Who’s in charge here, slut?”
“You are, s – master,” I replied.
I would never get the hang of this.
“I seem to think you’ve racked up extra forfeits, for not showing me respect and talking out of turn. Are you going to be a bratty sub, Rose?”
If my situation wasn’t so degrading, so awful I might have laughed. So might Dad. I was glad he couldn’t see me now. But the very idea of me being a rebel was a joke.
It seemed to me that, between Alpha Lewis and Lycan Adam, I had learned how to answer back. Something Willow had been doing all her life. Yet it made me perversely proud.
Another knock at the door caused me to freeze.
“Your purchases, sir.”
“Come in,” he said. I was glad my back was to the door. “Place them on the bed and go.”
I wasn’t sure if it was a man or a woman, but my humiliation had reached new depths.
“How could you? Master,” I added, belatedly.
“She was looking at your ass most of the time. Do you want her to join us? Shall I call her back?”
“Please, master, there’s no need for that.”
“So go and pick your outfit, little slut.” I stared at him. “We’re going down to dinner.”
Rose’s POV I obeyed on shaky legs only to find, “There’s no underwear, master.” “Get used to it. I’d only tear it off.” “In the dining room, master?” “Anywhere and everywhere. You’ll learn, Rose, that what I want I get. I have done ever since I took over as Lycan King.” Had I known he was royalty? That would explain a lot. Nobody else would get away with treating hotel employees like servants. I was trying to remember, but everything was fuzzy in my head. Especially when he started to roll down my stockings using a combination of teeth and fingers which traced my bare skin lustfully, setting me on fire. I’d never felt like this in my whole life. Was it the mate bond? Were the sparks and tingles a result of that or did every couple feel like this? We weren’t mated in the proper sense and I knew he would never claim me with honour. Yet I could dream, couldn’t I? That might just make all this bearable. The long velvet gown was the more modest of the two. Even so it had a slit at e
Willow’s POV Joan told me my sister was working for the Alpha and that I might not see her for weeks. While I missed Rose I realised this might be my opportunity to have some fun. All harmless, though I knew she would never understand with her being so prim and virginal. I thought Dean was the hottest of them all, but it was her breasts he stared at rather than mine. I had my eye on a guard named Connor, the one who’d approached us in the corridor. But it seemed he was taken with a blonde and I began to flirt with Jason, another driver. “No-one will know,” I argued. “And I’ve been dying to see his new movie for weeks. If you sneak me out, I’ll make it worth your while.” “What are you talking about, Lolo?” I was happy he had remembered the way I preferred to be called. “Tony Stevens. He’s cute.” “And human,” he huffed. “I don’t care. He’s a real action man.” “Snuck out to the flicks often, did ya?” I fluttered my lashes. “That would be telling.” “Anyhow, it’s a no-can-do. I
Rose’s POVI woke the next morning to find I had barely an inch of space in that huge bed. A muscled arm was lying across my naked body, but the monster was still asleep. I didn’t dare to move, though I needed to pee, and the soreness between my thighs brought everything flooding back.A bird tweeted somewhere outside. I cringed, assuming he would stir. He didn’t. The deep breathing remained the same.He’d taken me brutally, there was no denying that. But there was pleasure, too, and far less humiliation than when he’d forced me to parade in front of his friends. Like a walk of shame before the event.I replayed the scene in my head. Could I go through that again – and more? How long before Alpha Lewis pulled me out?A sudden stabbing pain made me hiss.Lycan Adam groaned and opened his eyes. I shut mine, expecting further cruelty. But he just rolled over, freeing me from his grasp.“Shower,” he said.I took it as a signal I was to leave the bed. Once it was steaming, I put my head ar
Adam’s POVI couldn’t believe it. What a time to be out of control when I should have been closeted with my ranking warriors planning the takeover of the werewolf world. Total domination. It was my destiny.Instead I had a new plaything: Rose.As soon as I saw her on that stage I had to have her. She reminded me of Clare, the same colouring, that ability to transcend her surroundings.I don’t suppose she saw it like that.It was wrong of me to call her a slut when she so clearly wasn’t, unlike my late wife. Clare sought only prestige from our marriage; her favours were free to all.Remaining friends with her sister was my way of atoning. Jane introduced me to the BDSM scene after Erica confided in her that my inner beast was losing control. I soon acquired a taste for it, appeasing Marlon.And now, it seemed, I had a second chance mate.Well, Moon Goddess be damned, I didn’t believe in all that.Yet there was something about Rose which led me to think she would last longer than the ot
Rose’s POVI felt the pain radiate everywhere from the region of my chest for the third time this week. Sometimes, Lycan Adam made me watch as he serviced another. More often than not it came as a surprise, waking me from sleep and just about destroying my wolf.The clock was ticking and, as usual, I had little to report.On a positive note, the Lycan King had no plans to make a move on Alpha Lewis’ territory until he had secured sovereignty over all the clans in his county. I doubted the Alpha would be interested to know he was intending to strip a rival pack of their monopoly on the growing of beets, yet I had to pad my meagre information out somehow.My lack of real progress was worrying. I didn’t want Willow suffering a fate worse than death. That bargain between the Alpha and me, could I count on him holding up his end even if I delivered? I was trying not to think like that. Yet it would hardly be good to provoke Lycan Adam into raiding the only county in the district which cou
Rose’s POVI knew Alpha Lewis wouldn’t come in person, but I didn’t expect to see Willow with Connor. For one thing, she was under age. The signs everywhere stated you had to be over twenty-one. Maybe they had faked her ID.“Is this wise?” I hissed, as he stood beside me at the bar.Lycan Adam had gone ahead to “personally prepare the scene”.My sister was looking all around in awe.“He ditched his ex for me,” she confided.Connor frowned. “I’ll explain later, and no, but I’m not the one in charge.”The bartender overheard.“Tonight you are,” she laughed. “Unless the little missy is a dominatrice, which I very much doubt.”I followed them to a corner sofa.“I don’t have long,” I said.“Rose, what are you wearing?”The strappy leather outfit left nothing to the imagination. I reddened.“Don’t even go there, Lolo.”“It’s good to see you, sis,” she said, sucking up vodka noisily through a straw.“And you shouldn’t be here. At all,” I said, wiping the happy grin from her face.“You said i
Rose’s POV Imagine my surprise as I went through the door only to see Alpha Lewis reclining on the bed. “Did you miss me?” he smirked. I wanted to hurl myself at him and pound my fists against his chest. His bare chest with the scorpion tattoo. “Where’s Lolo?” I demanded. “I want to see her.” “You’re in no position to make demands, Rosie.” His careless use of a name which had never been mine made me furious. But I needed to keep a cool head. “I’m not saying a word about what I know until I’m sure she’s safe.” “That does it. Bring the thumbscrews, Connor.” “You wouldn’t dare … ” Would he? I was probably dispensable now and would be even more so when I had told him my news. I began to back away, only to run into a solid wall of muscle. There was no comfort to be had there, just restraint. “Only joking, Rosie. I must say, you’re looking mighty fine. Fancy a tumble first?” I struggled, but the Beta was far too strong for me. “Don’t toy with her, Lew,” he said. “Rose isn’t the
Willow’s POVThat club was something else. I felt excited despite the cosplay outfit and it meant I got to see Rose again.It was a surprise to see her showing so much bare flesh. I was the one who flaunted myself when we visited that natural pool in the woods, just below the waterfall.I knew I shouldn’t have said anything because I didn’t want to embarrass her. The gown suited her so much more.I was already slightly tipsy, yet glad to play a part in rescuing my sister for a change. The Alpha had told me she needed “saving from herself”, whatever that meant.He couldn’t keep up with the lies. Did he think I was stupid? Most people did, especially boys. Well, who had the last laugh usually? Rose to the rescue. It was never really needed, but I let everyone think it. Feeling hurt about that eased my grief a little because, oddly, it reminded me of our mother. Mom would have probably smiled and said, “Never stop being you, my girl.”I like to think so anyway.When I saw the stunning w
