I ignored his question and bent down to touch my toes with my fingertips to stretch my back. I didn't have to look to know that Radrox's eyes were immediately drawn to ass. I could feel the weight and heat of his gaze there immediately.
I clenched under his gaze and was instantly reminded of the plug Ivret put into me last night to help with my spasms. It was five inches long and had a good girth and curve. It wasn't exactly what I had wanted from him last night, but it was enough to relieve my pussy which was desperate to clench around something.
Ivret said I reacted this way because of the bond and his pheromones. He expected me to go into heat soon if the dragons continued to be around me, and he wanted me to be fully prepared yet untouched before that. I didn't like the idea much but had nothing else to counter it.
Before I could straighten up, I felt Radrox's presence behind me. A growl tore from his lips, sending a shiver down my spine. His hot, rough palms landed on my ass cheeks and spread them apart to expose my holes to him.
"Hey!" I protested, but Radrox took the stem of the plug and ripped it out of me abruptly, making my thighs quiver.
"Fuck, you're not suppos—"
"What is this?" He growled, yanking me around until I was facing him. I couldn't help but flush, seeing the plug in his hand dripping with my juices.
"Ivret gave it to me last night because I was clenching too hard. Give it back!" I demanded, but Radrox's red eyes blazed dangerously, making my heart speed up and my pussy clench again.
You don't need it anymore," Radrox growled.
"Please..." I hissed, climbing on his lap to snatch it from him. "Give it to me," I demanded, but if anything, Radrox looked even more determined not to return the plug to me.
"No..." He growled. "Since he's not here right now, I get to decide what's going to happen,"
I crossed my arms over my chest and glared at me. I wanted to like Radrox. I liked him because of the sexual tension he brought into the mix, but things like this pissed me off. I liked his dominating and demanding nature, but it was starting to become a double-edged sword for me.
"So you've decided to leave me in pain?" I asked. His eyes widened for a second as if he hadn't considered it.
"Are you in pain?" He asked.
"Yes,"
"Show me where it aches," He demanded, towering over me. My breath hitched, and my pussy clenched again, feeling his heat. "I need to see,"
"Why? It's not like you care. You only want to torment me," I accused, and my words instantly pissed him off. His nostrils flared as he pinned me with his smouldering, hot red eyes.
"So that's what you think about me?" He asked darkly. I swallowed hard. I might've said too much, but I wasn't entirely wrong. I knew that he still held a grudge against me, and rightly so, but sometimes his ways felt too much for me.
"If you're mad at me, just say it," I decided to come clear. "I know you're still pissed. You seem like the one to hold grudges for long,"
For a moment, he said nothing but kept his gaze locked with mine. The silence was deafening, and it was starting to bother me. I searched his face for a clue but got nothing. Of the three dragons, Radrox was the most unreadable one.
However, I did catch hints of hurt through the cracks of his rough exterior. Even though I'd apologised before, he was still hurt, and I could understand why. I felt guilty about it and wanted to fix it, but it seemed like he didn't want to. In that case, I couldn't do much. The realisation made me gulp hard. But maybe trying harder would work?
Maybe I needed to show him how guilty I was. This was the only thing I could do in this situation.
I took his face in my hands, and Radrox's eyes widened slightly in surprise, but he still managed to keep his face unredeemable. I shifted on his lap to position myself comfortably. I immediately felt his long hard cock under me, but I ignored it for the moment and focused on him.
"I'm sorry, Radrox," I told him sincerely, looking into his red glowing eyes. I remember how his red glowing eyes used to freak me out initially, but now I have gotten used to them. "I'm sorry, Master," I whispered, wrapping my arms around his neck to get closer. "I know you're still mad at me, and you should be too, but give me a chance to make it up to you,"
"Why should I believe you?" He finally spoke up, easing my nerves a bit. But I didn't have a good answer to his question. "You can fool Zorge and Ivret, but not me,"
"I know," I nodded, "That's why I'm being honest. I don't want to fool around anymore. I'm trying to change,"
If anything, my words hardened his face with more apprehension. This annoyed me a bit, but I reminded myself that I brought this upon myself. I didn't have any way to show them that they can trust me. All I could do was give them my word for now.
"Why?" He probed again. Even though I found Radrox's probing nature annoying, I was glad he asked these questions because they forced me to be honest with myself.
All my life so far, all I knew was the sea and piracy. It was what I grew up doing. It was a life I liked. I even missed a part of it, especially the sea. The more time I spent here, the more I missed the sea, and I'd never been the kind to be held back. Sometimes, a part of me questioned my purpose for being here when I knew very well that I belonged in the sea. Given all this, I should've attempted another escape, but it was something I couldn't think about now without drowning in guilt.
This was very unlike myself.
I'd been reckless, restless and never had to think through things because I never had much to lose. I'd been the kind to seek the next thrill, no matter what it might cost me, but now, I can't associate with such things. The more time I spent with these dragons, my past seemed like a different lifetime.
"I've lived most of my life recklessly by robbing people at the sea. I've done a lot of bad things to many people, but this is the first time when I got to face the consequences and see how my reckless actions fuck up people," I told him sincerely, but his face continued to remain hard.
"It took you so long to realise this?" Radrox asked, narrowing his eyes. I could tell that he was deeply analysing every single word of mine to determine if this was just an act on my part.
"Yes," I replied. "Not that I wasn't aware that my actions hurt people. It's just that I never got to see the effects up close. I've always been... blind to such things. I taught myself to be this way because I realised there was no one to look out for me early on. I have to look out for myself, and sometimes, that meant making choices that hurt other people so I could keep myself safe,"
Suddenly, a look of understanding flashed in Radrox's eyes. The look of apprehension was quickly replaced by curiosity. Some of the tension in the air evaporated.
"I thought you had a sister?" He asked, tilting his head as if entertaining a thought.
"Yeah... half sister. We're not on good terms," I said, trying not to think about what I did to her mates. It had been constantly haunting me. I shifted on his lap, trying to get off, but he held onto my waist and kept me in place. I tried to ignore his length under me as he demanded, "Tell me more,"
