The dragon king

Chapter 4

"Ouch." I groaned as he roughly pushed me into his room. My hands already tied behind my back. The dim lighting almost causing me to trip.

"Why did you tie me up?" I questioned over my shoulder.

"Because you would've run away." His tone rough as he forced me into a kneeling position.

"This is your fathers kingdom, I'm sure I would've been caught just like this." I rolled my eyes. My knees digging into his obsidian like floors.

    I couldn't remember much, but the feeling of his guards yanking me out of my sleep, and throwing me to the princes feet. The cold night air pinching at my skin. My knees and cheeks red from the cold air.

     The silence in the room was deafening. It had only been two days since he arrived. And here I was being punished both days.

    I listened as he took off his furred mantle, his belt followed soon after. I grimaced thinking of the future welts on my already bruised backside.

"If I recall correctly, don't you belong to me?" He kneeled down in front of me, balancing on the tips of his toes.

I could barley maintain eye contact as he looked down upon me.

"Say it again pet." He gripped my chin. "Who don't you belong to?" He lightly smacked my cheeks with the tips of his fingers. I choked when his hands wrapped around my throat. His sharp nails digging into the sides of my neck, quickly standing up grabbing me along with him. My feet dangled off the ground.

My hands quickly grasped his forearm trying to loosen his grip. I tried to look in his eyes, it was as if no light could reach them as he choked me harder.

"If you didn't belong to me, how do I have you here right now, in my kingdom. One minute away from death?" He smiled a crooked grin. Almost mocking my facial expression.

"Plea-." I rasped out, as he tightened his grip. My throat dry from the heaving.

"I don't care about you begging." He laughed at me, rolling his eyes slightly. "I want to hear you say you belong to me." He watched me though his lashes.

"I-I." I could barley get enough air to fill my lungs, it felt as if they were collapsing on me. My head bobbed as I fought to stay awake. "You-." I gasped out clawing at his arms seeing red lines appear beside his veins. "Belong- to you." I rushed out as his eyes flashed.

He hummed before dropping me to the ground, turning around walking to a door on the other side of the room. My uneven breaths ringing loud in my ears as I struggled to refill my lungs. The feeling of his hands around my throat still present.

"This wouldn't happen if you just followed my rules." He sat on his bed. His legs spread with a new found whip in his lap. "Crawl to me, and get undressed." He stroked his whip lightly before setting it beside himself.

"Please-." My voice hoarse. He only sat there silently. I slowly got into my hands and knees, crawling to him, stopping right between his legs, sitting on my knees.

I flinched as his finger pushed my chin up, causing me to look at him. "Do you see how easy things are when you listen." He drug his thumb across my bottom lip. He ran his finger down my chin before slightly gripping my neck again. "You bruise so easily." He lifted my chin to inspect my neck. It almost seemed like he had a hint of worry in his voice.

Almost.

"Undress." He sat back on his hands, as I shakily reached down to pull his shirt above my head. "You look so good in my clothes." He pulled me up to stand in front of him, my naked body full on display. I shivered as his lips came in contact with the skin above my belly button, his mouth pressing a light kiss on it. As he pat the spot beside him.
