Bed of Nails

Chapter 128

Not anymore. 

I woke up when the sun was fully shining over my head. I somehow managed to sleep an hour or two. The reason I woke up was because my cell phone had been constantly running nonstop. I closed my eyes immediately as soon as I opened them. I tried to find my cell phone when I closed my eyes. I couldn't find it, and I moved my hand in all possible directions to get it. The constant ringing of my cell phone was irritating me so much. It felt like that ringing kept increasing with each passing second. I grabbed something soft, and when I grabbed it more firmly, I heard a groan coming out beside me. 

“If you don't want me to fuck you again, let it go before it turns hard.” I heard his dominating voice whispering in my ear. The realisation hit me like a brick. My eyes opened wide in fear, and I immediately let it go. Fuck, I just grabbed his cock. My face was burning red. My attention was diverted back to my cell phone, which was still raining. The constant ring of my cell phone must have woken him up too. I decided not to look at him and search for my cell phone. I moved my heavy eyes all over the room to find. It was lying down on the floor beneath my clothes. I bent slightly to grab it with one hand while the other held the edge of the bed so I wouldn't fall. I was busy grabbing it when I felt a masculine arm get wrapped around my waist. I felt him pressing a kiss on the small of my back, and it made my whole body go stiff. I took a deep, jaggering breath and bent more so I could grab it. 

“Hello,” I said groggily without even looking at the caller ID. 

“Where the hell are you, Grace?” I heard the shrill voice of Isabella, and it made me pull my phone away from my ear. 

“Why are you shouting?'' I asked while keeping my cell phone still away from my ear. 

“Why am I shouting? Do you have any idea how worried I have been? Where the hell did you disappear last night?” she shouted once again, and my face grimmed. I was not reading for that many questions and that loud voice. A dull headache started to form in my head. 

“I took a taxi back home. I'm fine.” I lied with a sleepy voice, and my eyes remained half closed. 

“Thank god. You are fine,” she said while breathing in relief. 

“Sorry, I didn't tell you before I left. I was too drunk." I apologised when I could hear the distress in her voice. She was really worried for me. I was so drunk and out of my mind last night. I can't even tell her what I did last night. 

“It's ok, now tell me, when are you coming to Villian Mansion?” she asked this time in her soft voice. 

“Why do you want me there?” I asked while pressing my back a little to make my head broad. I wanted to sleep more, maybe until the next morning. 

“Have you forgotten today is Xanthus and Sage's rehearsal dinner? We have to make all the arrangements,” she said from the other side, and my sleepy eyes opened wide. Yes, she is right. Today is their rehearsal dinner, and we are going to make all the arrangements. It's such an important day for Sage. She is already so nervous about her marriage tomorrow, and if things don't go well tonight, she will be even more nervous. Not to forget, Xanthus is giving her hell. “No, I remember it. I will be there in an hour,” I said in a hurry and pulled the blanket to cover my naked body, but when I tried to get up, his arm around my waist stopped me. “Where are you going?” he asked while looking up from his pillow. His bed hair and those cold blue eyes made him look so fucking irresistible. His full lips parted slightly. The way I sucked his lips last night flashed in front of my eyes. He has done something to my brain. 

“Be on time, Grace. We have a lot to do,” I heard Isabella say from the other side of the call. It pulled me out of whatever dirty my brain was about to think. Fuck, I forgot she was still on the call. I averted my eyes from him. I blinked my eyes and took a deep breath. “Yeah, I will be there on time.” I stuttered a little bit while answering her. I made sure to cut the call this time. I'm sure she must have heard his voice. “I need to be at the Villian mansion,” I said while not looking at him. My voice came out a little raspy because of all the screaming and moaning I did while taking his name. I tried to peel his hands away from my waist before getting out of bed. Instead, he pulled me back onto the bed under him. I gasped when he did that so suddenly. He buried his face in my neck and started to nuzzle there while pressing a small kiss on the mark he left last night on my neck. I shivered when his wet lips pressed on my sore red hickeys. He took a deep breath in my scent, making my heart beat fast. He didn't stop there and continued pressing kisses down. He darted out his tongue and licked on the upper breast where he had left a hickey last night. I took a deep breath before opening my mouth. 

“Today is Sage and Xanthus rehearsal dinner,” I said with a heavy breath. He was making me forget what I was about to say. 

“Hmmm,” he hummed in his dark voice, and it did something to me. 

“I need to be there, ahhh." I was not able to complete my sentence. Instead, I ended up moaning. His cunning tongue swirled over my swollen nipple before he engulfed it in his warm mouth. 

"Hmm,” he hummed, asking me to continue. He was purposely doing it to me. If it continues, we need to stop fucking once again. I was too sore to do it again. 

“I need to be there to plan all the things,” I said while pushing his shoulder with all my might. He was not expecting my sudden push. It made him land straight on the floor. He groaned loudly as soon as he fell to the floor. I clamp my mouth with both my hands. I was not expecting him to fall. What are you still doing sitting here? Run! My inner voice shouted. I immediately got out of bed and wore my clothes haphazardly. He got up from the floor to get me. I grabbed my heels and ran out of there with a wildly beating heart. 

“Run as much as you want but remember you have to return to me at the end of the day,” he shouted. 

“And that's when I will make sure you can't run anywhere” he threatened me as soon as I closed the door with a thud. My breath hitched in sweet fear when I read that. My heart was beating so loudly inside my rib cage. 

I managed to escape the blue-eyed demon somehow but at what cost?
