"That's it. My fucking good girl."The gravelled voice growled into my ear, making me whimper some more as my high reached its final peak. The body on top of me buried his nose into my neck and drew in a deep breath before slowly pulling his fingers out of me, causing my sudden high to dip and fade away.I felt slightly empty as his fingertips pulled out of me, and my hips rolled up in a silent plea for him not to leave me like this, but it never worked; the weight above me shifted. The shadow figure groaned as he rolled off to the side of the bed. He let out a hissing sigh as his heavy feet thudded onto the solid wooden floor.His breathing was heavier than mine; I could hear him take in deep breaths as he grounded himself. My wrists twisted against their leather cuff prison. He used them to lock my hands together and keep my fingers away from his body. I wasn't sure how, but every time he found a way to lock or tie my wrists up when we became intimate.My toes finally eased as my climax washed away from me. My body eased and sank into the soft bed under me. The silky sheets under me were smooth but heated from our movements. Another sudden shift of weight on the bed made my eyes shoot open.I followed the naked man with my eyes; his body was sculpted like a warrior, tight, curved, and teasing on the touch of perfection. His lightly tanned skin seemed to glow under the dim light of the fire that was dancing in the old fireplace at the end of the room. With a little strength, I pulled myself up so that I could watch him closer from my spot on the bed.His footsteps were light as he glided across the dimly lit room. My ears twitched as I finally allowed the noises in the room to fill my mind again. The large fire that lit the room crackled and hissed. My strained eyes slowly re-adjusted to the shadow-filled room. I have only lived here for a few days, but I could already tell by the fuzzy shapes of what furniture sat where in the room."Don't move from that bed."The growled order made my body freeze, causing my eyes to shoot straight towards his dimly lit figure. He was watching me from the corner of his eye as he stood by the archway that led towards the balcony."I need some water."My throat ached as I spoke. His crystal blue eyes were still locked on me as I used my teeth to work on getting the cuffs wrapped around my wrists off; once they gave way, I allowed them to fall to the ground. The chains holding the cuffs together sang as they hit the wooden floor. I slipped off the bed and made my way towards the cart table that held his hard liquor. My legs wobbled under me, as a slick wet feeling ran down my legs, it seemed to spread over my thighs with every step I tried to take.I felt cold eyes on me, watching my every movement as I wobbled to the cart. My hands glided over the crystal cups as I tried to find the crystal jug that held the bitter drink that my body ached for, and finally, my fingers locked around the cool handle.Fingers slowly glided over my lower back, then around my hips; warm fingertips dug into my hips, sending a slick warmth up my spine; his warm breath washed over my ear, followed by a heated sensation between my legs as his warm lips ran down my neck."Be a good princess and pour me a glass."His gravelled voice in my ear made a lump form in my throat. I swallowed it down as I followed his order and poured some of the honey liquid into a second glass."Good girl, now get your ass back on that bed; I'm not finished with you."The quiet room was filled with a hollow clang as I put the jug back down in its original place. I never touched his glass or even bothered to give it to him, as I eagerly grabbed the one meant for me, the golden liquid only filled a quarter of the crystal cup, but it was enough as I excitedly chugged it down in one go.It was smooth as it made its way down my throat; it stung slightly but put my body and bustling mind at ease."Be a man and make me."I finally snapped at him. I struggled to take orders from anyone, but especially from him. It made his cool eyes darken when I bit back with a snarky response, but most of all, it meant I would be pounded into submission.The room was filled once again with a hollow clang as I put my glass back down. I slowly rolled my head back to look up at the tall beast behind me; his breathing was heavy, and his jaw seemed to be clenching tight as his cold blue eyes looked down at me, his fingers dug into my hips, making me squirm from the slight pain."Well, husband, I'm waiting."A hand found its way around my throat, making me gasp slightly and pushing me up onto my toes as his hand wrapped around me tighter."What was that, wife?"The title sounded like poison from his lips, as he spat it out as if it were a curse on his sweet tongue."Make me get back into bed."A growl filled the room; it vibrated through his chest and into me, making me smile. Angering, the man sent me on a small high."I've warned you about that tongue of yours."I licked at my lips as we stood there. I was on my toes, trying to keep my balance as he held me up against his bare chest."I seemed to have forgotten. Care to be a dear and remind me?"Another growl followed, and before my mind could turn to a new thought, I was twirled around, a hand went straight to my hair, his free hand locked around my waist as he pulled me in tight against his body."I think fucking you over the balcony will teach you some manners, princess."A sick, twisted smile sat on his lips; his eyes seemed to glow as ideas ran through his mind. My lips parted as I wanted to chirp back, but only a yelp escaped them as I was suddenly flung over his shoulder and carried out into the cool night's air.The balcony was made from stone; just like the rest of the castle, it was held up high over a cliff that looked over the glistening lights of the village below. Unlike the other balconies attached to the room, this one that we stood on was longer and wider; it was almost the same length as the room but stopped in line with the internal walling.I was suddenly dropped to my feet on the cool stone; another breeze washed over my bare back, making me sigh at the cooling sensation. My breath caught in my throat as his lips crashed down hard against mine; his kiss was rough and hungry.My desire washed over me once again as my hands made their way to his lower abdomen. I wanted to feel every inch of his body under my fingers, but I was stopped as large hands grabbed at my wrists and pulled my fingers away from his body, as warm lips pulled away from mine, making me whimper."What?"My voice was a raspy whisper as our lips were separated."I told you not to touch me."Like my voice, his was a gravelled whisper against my lips. On our first night together, he barked that order at me when I tried to help him remove his shirt, it's the one rule I hated. How could I not touch him?"But-""No."He snapped as he cut my words off. I bit my lower lip and whimpered like a scolded pup."Fine."I grumbled as I pulled my hands away from his loosened grip. Annoyed, I took a step back and drew in a sharp breath, as I stood there, I ran my eyes over him; the sight was truly breathtaking.He had a thick, long scar running from his right hip up the middle of his body and into his left shoulder, it snaked its way up his neck, over his sharp jaw and finally ended under his bright left eye."Rule one: do not touch me unless I give you permission, princess."The heat between my legs grew under his heavy voice and cool stare. Like a stubborn child, I crossed my arms over my chest and pouted slightly."Alright, then you can't touch me."A flash of annoyance washed over his face for a second. He straightened up and licked his lips slowly as his eyes ran over my head to a view I couldn't see at the moment."Princess, if I can't touch you, then how can I fuck you?"His voice was flat, with a hidden growl."I don't need you to please me when I can do it myself, my lord."The sudden title made his brow twitch; I wasn't sure whether it was anger or annoyance. His eyes ran up and down my body as a sudden fear washed over me. Following my instincts, I took a step back, and he slowly followed me, he kept close as I tried to step back."Do you plan on taking care of yourself, little princess?"My body went into slight shock as my lower back pressed into the stony surface of the bannister. Blue eyes were locked on me as he pressed his body closer to mine; the coldness in his eyes reminded me of a beast stalking its prey."Well, my princess, why don't you be a good girl and show me how you plan on pleasing yourself without my assistance."He planted his hands on either side of me, locking me in place and not giving me any space to escape or hide from his cold eyes. A warm blush washed over my face as my cheeks and ears burned under his stare.I tried to draw in a deep, cool breath, but the cool air turned slightly warm from his overpowering heat. With a shaky hand. I ran my fingers up my torso and over to my breast, where I began to knead my already swollen nipple as my other hand slowly ran between my thighs.His eyes were locked on me. I shot my eyes up from his lips and into his eyes as my fingers traced my already swollen lips. I was still slick from his earlier affections and fingering, and I made myself whimper at the bittersweet memories of his tongue and fingers filling me.With our eyes locked, I felt a slight wave of easement as I slipped one finger into me, it felt odd as I did this; it has only been three days, but I preferred his fingers, or his tongue, or even better, his pierced cock inside of me."Go on, Princess, go in deeper."He leaned in as if to bury his head into the crook of my neck, but stopped a few inches away from my neck. I melted under his warm breath and musky scent. I did as I was told for once and slipped my finger up deeper.I whimpered at the feeling; my finger didn't seem to fill the desire, before I could add another finger, one of his slipped into me, going deeper, making me moan at the sudden pressure."Fuck me."The words muttered their way out of me as he wiggled inside of me."You need to move your finger, like this princess, or you will never feel pleased again."He swirled his finger in small circles, then gently scooped at my insides. As suddenly as he was in me, he pulled out and put his hand back onto the railing where it originally was."Do you feel that, princess? Your body wants more; how sure are you about that little rule of me not touching you?"I whimpered under his heavy voice in my ear; his lips grazed my ear."Beg me to fuck you, my princess."His voice made me freeze. I wanted him. I desperately needed him in me, but I wasn't giving in to his orders and his need to control me. I bit my tongue and whimpered as I slid another finger into me.My middle and ring fingers swirled and scooped inside of me as I copied his actions and let out little moans. The sensation slowly filled my body, but it wasn't the same as when he did it, but it still got me on the road to the high that I was desperate for.The body that was over me seemed to tense up as I let out another moan while I picked up my pace slightly. I was getting a taste of my desire, but I wasn't getting the desired results like the ones he would give me. Nonetheless, I moaned and whimpered into his ear, hoping deep down it would entice him to take over and give me the climax I wanted—no, that I needed.I swooned as I tried to get in deeper, but I couldn't, not from how I was standing. The hand that was kneading my nipple now wrapped itself around my breast, and I squeezed as the frustration built up in me before I could open my mouth and beg him, hands tugged on my wrists.My arms were flung around his neck, my legs were pulled apart, and the space was filled in by his warm hips. His member was nested between us, with his tip pressed against my lower stomach as he pulled me up.A warm arm slipped under my ass as he held me up while his free hand guided his pierced, erected member into me, making me whimper. He slowly slid into me, allowing me to feel each piercing as he filled me up.Once I was filled, each of his hands cupped my cheeks and held me still and close, allowing our bodies to melt together. Our breathing was mixed and filled the air around it; at that moment, it was the only sound I could hear—our breathing.I bit my bottom lip as our eyes finally met. Hesitatingly, I leaned in closer, causing him to jerk his head back slightly, but slowly he eased back as his thoughts relaxed. He closed the small gap between our lips. The kiss was mundane and simple, but I felt hungry for his taste, so I pushed it into a deeper one.My hands eagerly cupped his face as I deepened the kiss. He flinched once again at my touch but didn't pull away this time; instead, he fell back into being eased and melted into the kiss, that was when his hips started to roll back and forth slowly.His movements started slow and gentle, but when I started to nibble on his lower lip, a low growl vibrated between us as his hips picked up speed. Our kiss was interrupted by our heavy breathing and mixed moans.The growls and groans that left his lips only made my excitement grow; the sound of him moaning made me shiver with excitement. I sat in his hands, holding his face, listening to his low moans as his hips rolled back and forth.Since I couldn't touch him any further, I ran my fingers up into his black, unkept hair and tugged at the long, curly strands. I took full advantage of this and tugged on the locks between my fingers, this seemed to control his hips as a sudden thrust rocked through my body."Oh, gods."He suddenly thrust his hips forward again; his actions were followed by a loud groan and a broken growl. My body curled around his as I tried my best to take in his sudden full length."Do that again."An order I happily took on, I did as I was told for once and pulled on his unruly hair. He emitted a lengthy groan and arched his back, pressing his chest firmly against mine. His hips rolled quickly this time, causing our bodies to slap against each other."Artemis."His name left my lips in a muffled whisper as I buried my face into his neck to let out muffled and broken moans. His pierced tip was tapping my overly sensitive spot, which his fingers were favouring earlier. The feeling of the hard steel hitting me was sending waves up and down my body.The ribbed feeling of the piercing that ran down the length of his member rolled up my body as his pace picked up, my toes curled as my release approached, and his hips suddenly did quick small jerks as a wet, warm sensation filled me.As he approached his climax, a wet gush of his seed pumped out, and I could feel the pulse of his base. My old lovers would have stopped their movements as they reached their climax, but my husband never stopped; he kept up the pace as he released his load into me.His movements slowed slightly but picked up a quick pace once again. He continued to be hard inside of me and rocked back and forth as I approached my climax. His tip hit my sweet spot over and over, digging in with every thrust.Being a good man, he moaned in my ear; he even nibbled at my earlobe."Cum for me, my princess."My fingers locked into his hair once again, and as I was finally pushed over my edge, my climax hit me, and it hit me hard as it finally washed over me. My body clung to him; he never slowed his stride as he pushed through my climax and hitched moans.It was only when I went limp that he slowed down his movements and slowly came to a halt. He held onto me, hugging me close to his body as our breathing fell out of sync and my hands loosened their grip on his hair.We just stood there. I was brought back to our existence as a breeze suddenly washed over us, dragging me back to the realisation that we were on the balcony that overlooked the village and that we weren't the only people in the world.The beast of a man still held me close to his body as he turned around and carried me to our bed. The room was warm despite the cool breeze washing in through the balcony's archway.The fire was still burning as we had left it when he dragged me outside. I whimpered when he pulled me up slightly. His member lazily pulled out of me and seemed to have fallen back to its natural place, and once again, I felt empty and lost without him in me."While we sleep tonight, be a good princess and keep your hands to yourself."We stopped right beside the bed; he was still holding me by my ass as we stood there. Grumpily, I cupped his face, causing him to flinch once again. This time I didn't hesitate; I leaned in and placed a sweet, gentle kiss on his lips."Then be a good husband and hold me all night."I muttered my words against his lips; his body was tense under me, and I could feel his jaw lock under my hands. Instead of a response in words, I got a heavy groan, which made a smile slip across my lips.Quickly, I pecked at his lips before I was thrown onto the soft bed once again. A giggle left my lips as I bounced against the soft bed. The feeling under me was sensational as I melted into the soft, silky sheets.My muscles ached slightly as I stretched out and let out a long moan. The weight on the bed shifted around me as a heavy hand ran up my side and up to my breast, where his fingers kneaded at my erect nipple. His breathing was heavy in my ear, and his lips were soft against my neck."Stop being such a fucking jerk and get your tight ass under the sheets so we can sleep."I rolled my body up slightly, pushing my breast into his hand, which he eagerly groped at. He let out a groan as I ran my leg up his side, digging my toes into his skin; it was the only place he allowed me to touch.The hand on my breast ran up to my neck; it gently locked around me as he pressed his weight into me. He let out a low growl, sending a vibration through my body, and making me moan in response."Bed. Now. Aurora."The way he said my name sent a melting sensation through my body. His weight shifted once again as he pulled away from me, allowing me to sit up and let out a sigh. I did as I was told, mumbling profanities under my breath while I did it. Once I was curled up and under the thin sheets, I let out a heavy puff of air.My body was aching and turning stiff under the cooled-off bedding. I never realised until now how exhausted I was or how exhausted he made me. The sudden weight shit beside me made me roll over to my side to face him, but I was only met with a heavy frown. I took it as a sign and rolled to my other side.Once my back was to him, only then did he wrap his arms around me; he was larger than me, so I sank easily into him as he pulled me in close and tight. The silk bedding was used as a thin barrier between our bodies. As soon as his breathing eased, my eyes pulled shut, sending me into a much-needed deep sleep.
