UNWANTED DEVOTION

SO MUCH TO COME

"Don't smile at strangers, Birdy," he completed, and I nodded softly, leaning back into his chest.

We entered the bedroom, and he gently helped me lie on the bed before lying down beside me. I expected him to do something, but he just silently stared at the ceiling while I looked at him, confused.

"What happened?" I asked, but he didn't answer. He sighed and turned toward me, looking into my eyes. One of his arms reached around my waist and settled there. He kept looking silently, and I let him. My eyes were downcast while his seemed to bore into me.

A few minutes passed, and suddenly he pulled me close, and I slid into his chest.

"I want to give your pussy a rest, Birdy, so sleep..." he whispered in my ear, causing my cheeks to flush. I inhaled his musky scent and closed my eyes, clutching his shirt as his hands rolled through my hair strands one by one. He was humming something, and trust me, that song was anything but romantic. No, not at all—it was scary, about caging a girl to love her, to break her.

The tone sent shivers down my spine. I wanted to open my eyes, but I couldn't. Slowly, a hand began wrapping around my neck. I wanted to turn, but my body wouldn't move; I stood stiff, my breathing fast, suddenly feeling the presence of someone.

"Birdy..." the man behind me whispered, and I knew it was Kian. I said his name while shuddering, and he hummed, pushing his head into my neck and trailing his tongue along my exposed skin. Yes, exposed—I quickly looked down and saw I was naked.

I tried to move my body, but I couldn't. "Kian," I said again, and he hummed.

"L-leave me..." I whispered slowly, sobbing quietly. With a sudden jerk, he turned me toward him, and I saw his dark eyes. He cracked his neck and chuckled darkly, making me gulp nervously. I tried to turn again, but before I could, I was pinned to the ground. Kian held my neck tightly, choking me.

"HOW CAN I, BIRDY? AREN'T YOU MY DEVOTEE, MY WIFE, MY POSSESSION?" he shouted, his saliva splashing on my face. He looked like an animal, and then his hold on me loosened. His head returned to my neck, and I trembled beneath him.

And suddenly, a loud, painful scream escaped my mouth as Kian sank his teeth into my flesh. When he was done, his mouth was covered in blood, and I looked at him in horror.

"You are mine... Mine, Birdy..."

My eyes flew open. I couldn't see anything; it was black, but I could feel someone's body clinging to mine. I quickly pushed the body away slightly and saw Kian, sleeping peacefully, like a normal human—not the hungry animal I had just seen. My hand instinctively went to my neck, feeling for pain, marks, or blood—nothing was there.

I closed my eyes, calming myself that it was nothing—just a dream. Kian frowned in his sleep and began tossing his hands like a baby. A small smile crept onto my lips as I looked at him. I grabbed his hand and placed it back on my waist, and he quickly pulled me into his chest again.

I stared at his chest for a while, and slowly sleep once again engulfed me.

The next morning came. ( 01/09/2024 )

I woke up and saw Kian's dark eyes staring into my sleepy ones.

"Good morning, Birdy..." he wished, and I gave him a nod before softly saying, "Good morning, hubby..."

He stared at me for a moment, and then I slowly said, "I should get up..." Kian didn't reply; instead, his face suddenly came closer to mine, and a whimper of fear escaped my mouth. He frowned at my reaction.

I was about to say sorry, but he silenced me with his lips against mine. He didn't move them, just let them stay there while his eyes stared at me with the same dominant intensity.

"I love you..." he whispered, breaking the kiss and letting me go. I slowly got up, Kian's red shirt still on me while he remained in bed, looking at the ceiling.

I walked into the washroom first to freshen up.

"I'm going to the kitchen..." I informed Kian softly as I walked out.

"Fuck, so good for me, Birdy..." Kian said in a low voice I could barely hear.

I walked into the kitchen and started preparing breakfast. Once I was done, I began placing all the dishes on the table. I was about to turn when I saw Kian standing right in front of me in casual clothes, looking at me silently.

"Why aren't you ready, hubby?" I asked, but he didn't answer. Instead, he placed his lips on mine. "I love you," he whispered again, breaking the kiss.

I hummed to let him know I heard him. He sat down at the table, and I started serving him.

"I won't be going today..." he informed me, and I hummed in response.

After doing the dishes, I thought about cleaning the house, but Kian suddenly appeared out of nowhere, picking me up bridal-style and carrying me into a different room.

That room was dark. I was made to sit in front of Kian, my back against his chest. He hummed in contentment after making us both comfortable.

I gasped when a loud sound erupted in the room, and a big screen appeared, signaling that we would watch a movie while Kian chuckled.

"Let's watch a movie, Birdy..." he said, and I hummed, resting my head against his chest.

So, cuties, there's a twist coming... but let me tell you, nothing magical will happen. Kian isn't some kind of past demon or king. Think of something practical...
