A Pet for the Dragons

74.

RADROX

I was about to lose my mind and burst into flames when Arika did the most unthinkable.

She kissed me.

The kissing part wasn't the most unthinkable. No. It was how her kiss dissipated all the dark smoke around my mind and made me snap back into reality.

My dragon immediately reacted to her kiss, forgetting the turmoil she started. This was what surprised me a lot. She seemed to have a hold on my dragon already, and if anything, this enraged me more.

Not only did she ruin me, but she also found a way to control my dragon with her kisses. And even though I pushed her back at first, I quickly gave in to the kiss due to the way she sucked at my lip. She seemed so needy and greedy for me that I couldn't resist her. She had all of me, and it was more frustrating for me. I poured all my frustration into the kiss.

My kiss instantly melted her in my arms, and she started grinding against my bulge, seeking more of me. It was as if she couldn't have enough of me, which drove me insane.

I couldn't turn her down at this point, no matter what, because my needs outweighed my rational side. I felt wanted and needed at that moment, and it was the best feeling ever.

Even though I'd been mad at her due to what she had done in the past, I was willing to put everything aside and be with her for once.

All she had to do was say the word.

Master.

She had refused to call me that last time. She'd been so fucking determined back then. I wanted to see if she'd be as determined now. I wanted to know if she was willing to fight me now that she seemed so needy of me. I wanted to see if this was real or another of her games.

The thought instantly killed half of my enthusiasm for her, but I continued because I wanted to see how far she was willing to take this.

"Say it," I demanded after pulling back from the kiss. She was breathing hard, and her face was completely flushed, yet she couldn't stop staring at my lips with that hungry look in her eyes. This made me dragon yearn more for her.

He wanted to give in and claim her, but I knew better. Things couldn't be this simple with Arika. She always had her manipulation games ready. I didn't know what I'd do if this were just one of her sick games.

I'd be broken forever. She'd already ruined me. However, it wasn't like she could escape me anymore. She was my pet, and she'd have to be mine. She owed me everything after what she did. This made me more eager to know if this was all part of her play.

"Say it, Arika," I growled. Her eyes finally left my lips, and she looked me in the eyes. Her blue eyes were dark and hungry for me, and for a split second, I saw another emotion. It almost looked like guilt.

"I'm sorry, Radrox," She breathed. I froze.

This wasn't what I'd been expecting. I was expecting and even preparing for a fight with her. I was thinking of ways to make her call me Master, but I could've never imagined she'd apologise. Not in this way.

I'd thought she'd never apologise to me because Arika seemed too proud, but at that moment, as I stared into her eyes, I knew she meant it. She searched my face desperately for something... mostly a reaction, a hint that I'd accepted her apology, but all I could give her was shock and silence.

"I'm sorry," She repeated, "I did it because I wanted to run."

"Why did you want to run?" I asked. "Did you not feel safe here?" I growled, suddenly feeling a wave of emotions wash over me... all because of her. If only she knew the amount of control she had over me, I'd be a dead man.

"No, I..."

"Did you think we'd hurt you? Tell me. What made you think we'd hurt you?" I demanded, pressing closer to her until there was no space between us.

"I thought you'd be pissed if I told you I couldn't remember where I kept the computers," She said. Her voice was almost a whisper. "I was just trying to get out of here. My intention wasn't to hurt anyone," She said, and I clenched my jaw. "I'm sorry, Radrox. I mean it." She said again, and all I could offer her was silence.

A lump was starting to build in my throat as more and more emotions bubbled inside me. My dragon stirred constantly, wanting to close the remaining distance between us and claim what was rightfully ours.

"You should've come clean," I told her.

"I was scared...I didn't know how you all would react. I sold you too much about those computers." She said.

"It wasn't about the computers as soon as you stepped foot here," I told her. Sure, I'd wanted the computers previously to further my interests, but as soon as Arika came into the picture, I couldn't care less about the computers.

"So... are we okay now? I know what I did was awful, and I'm sorry for that, and I mean it. I've never had to apologise to anyone in my life before... so... this is the best I can do. Would you forgive me, Radrox?" She asked with so much hope in her eyes that I almost said yes. However, I realised I had the upper hand in this moment and needed to use it.

Even though she sounded like she meant it, there was still a slim probability of all this being fake. So I did what I had to.

"Not until you accept me as your Master," I said, tugging at her collar to remind her of her new place. For a split, her eyes blazed with defiance, feeding my desire to take her.
