Embarrassment and defeat spreads through my mind as I replay the incident that happened over and over in my head. All I could do was nod and stare at the ground because now I know he can't be a demon because demons lie and he fulfilled his word.
"Good girl, now come with me so we can get you all washed up before dinner," he says softly.
There is something about his little words of praise that make me want to follow his orders, to listen to him as if he had some sort of ownership over me. His voice draws me in, and for some reason I feel safe with him even though he just punished me, I feel as if nothing else can hurt me.
"Okay, but you said I could know anything now, I know you said at dinner but can I please see who I am at least speaking to?" I ask quietly hoping not to anger him.
He stops in his tracks and turns to me slowly, approaching me like a lion does their prey. His beautiful dark eyes have hunger in them, and I feel like he will feast on me at any moment.
"Oh princess, I thought you'd never ask," he smirks slowly, caressing his hand over my cheek until he reaches my chin.
I look him in the eyes, so full of desire. He could kill me now but his eyes drive me in, like I want more of him.
Gripping my cheeks, forcing me to stay in eye contact with him he slowly moves his thumb over my lips.
"Call me Sir, and you can see any part of me you desire," he smirks, leaving goosebumps trail down my spine.
"You must be out of your mind if you think…" I say before getting cut off with a sharp smack to my already sore ass.
I yelp in pain but before it can fully exit my mouth his thumb slowly enters caressing my tongue. A tingling sensation throbs beneath me, all of a sudden I feel desperate for release. I've never let a man touch me before but even after earlier, the eyes staring into my soul feels different.
His gaze, feasting on me and for the first time in my life I've never wanted anything more. I want him to break me, ruin me, take away my innocence. I want to know what X.R stands for because I want to scream it as I release all over his cock.
He slowly takes his thumb out of my mouth and glides his hands down to my neck and gently places his hand around it.
"Sir, may I please see what's beyond this mask," I ask eager to know.
His hand leaves his placement around my neck and he backs away from me. For just a moment, I thought I'd been tricked by his malevolent ways. Shock shivers down my spine as he turns his back to me, and I feel scared not knowing what I'm about to witness.
"Close your eyes," he says quietly.
"I don't want to, I want to see the real you," I demand, eager to see.
"You're scared, I can sense it," he says.
"Who wouldn't be? I have no context or know where I am, who you are, and not to mention my ass is sore because of you so as far as I'm concerned I deserve to know something and for starters, I want to see your face," I answer intensely.
He slowly reaches his hands up to his mask, pulling it off. The back of his head looks strangely normal. I raise my eyebrow confused, he doesn't seem scary from behind.
I slowly walk towards him, not wanting to wait another moment. I pause for just a moment because I feel pensive. The air around us feels heavy, like a weight crushing my lungs. He turns to face me and the light bouncing from the walls glistens on his face, highlighting his sharp jawline. He is gorgeous, I can't believe what's before me. But he looks so… human?
I tilt my head in confusion and ask,"You're human?"
"For you, I'm anything princess," he says, getting down on his knees before me.
All I can do is take my hand and brush it across his face, his beautiful soft skin.
My touch startles him, like it ignited his desire. He looks up at me, glaring into my eyes. For the first time in a long time since my grandma passed away, I feel her presence watching over me. Almost like she is telling me it's safe here with him.
I look into his beautiful dark eyes, hoping to see a little bit of light. His image looks so familiar, like I've seen him before but I don't know where. He reaches his hand up towards me, caressing my cheek. His touch feels sweltering, and desire moves down my body wanting to be closer to him.
"Who are you," I ask quietly as I move my hands down his body.
"My name is Xavier Raxton, Little Pawn." he says with a smirk.
Pain shoots in my head, leaving my head pounding with the rhythm of my heart. I jump back away from him falling to the ground. Not again, I can't do this again. Every little spasm of misery I come closer to darkness.
"Aria, what's wrong?" he reaches for me and grabs my hand.
His touch feels like electrocution, my body feels a burning pain coursing through my veins. I yell in pain, but before I know it all I see is black.
A moment later my body tenses up as I rise, looking around me. The area looks like I've been here before but when? I slowly move towards the building drawing me in.
Immense isn't even the word to describe the building before me. I know I shouldn't go near it but I need to know why I'm here.
I walk slowly until I reach the door. There are people in there but I see no cars. Something feels wrong.
Right before I go to turn, I'm met with hot breath running down my neck and all I can do is freeze in place.
"Going somewhere babygirl?" a deep voice says behind me.
At this moment, I don't know what to do. It doesn't sound like Xavier and I have nowhere to run. I slowly turn to face the threat behind me when I'm stopped by his tense grip.
"Who are you," I ask, choking down my fear.
"Fuck Aria, that hurts that you don't know my name. Maybe if you're screaming it you'll remember better." he says as he moves his free hands down my back stopping right before my ass.
He quickly turns my body towards his and I'm forced to look up at the most vile thing I've seen in my life. Frozen in shock at the creature in front of me I have no words to say.
Half of his face looks… burnt. But the other, I know exactly who he is, he's in my chemistry class. But how? Why? So many questions spread through my head.
"Now, you're going to be a good little girl and come with me," he says smirking at me and chills run down my spine.
I can't believe I'm saying this but I need Xavier right now even if he is a dick.
