[Ardyn x Reader] After Insomnia's Fall

Chapter III: The "punishment"

My finals are over so I can finally update! :) I know that this video doesn't have anything to do with this chapter... but I just love Prompto's puns as much as I love Ardyn.

Well, maybe not that much.

(◕‿◕) Enjoy!!

Slowly you regain consciousness again, with a pain in your wrists each second more noticeable. You are awake, but you can't open your eyes. Even though, you know you are lying on something comfortable, probably a bed, and that you've got your arms over your head tied to a bar.

"Finally you awake," you hear Ardyn's voice while his steps echo in the room, each second getting closer to you, until they stop. "You should wait before trying to open your eyes; as they might hurt if you try to do it now."

"Ardyn..."

"Hush, my little flower." He says gently before you can keep on talking and runs his index finger down your lips. That small gesture is enough for your heart to race and your breathing becomes irregular. "Now that you are awake it is time for your punishment, don't you think so?" You feel how the bed slightly bends to a side, Ardyn's weight making the wood creak.

His hand leaves your lips to slide down your chin, then going through your neck until it reaches your chest, resting on it without touching your breasts. Not being able to open your eyes makes you feel vulnerable and, at the same time, his touch causes a pool of heat in your lower belly. Your mind is telling you to act with caution, but your body is begging for his caresses.

"Ardyn, please, listen to me..." You plead him with trembling voice, at the same time your eyes get teary and feels like they are burning.

"Why should I?" He asks you calmly, like if he doesn't want to have a fight with you but still wants to show you how annoyed he is. "After everything you told me a couple hours ago... Now you beg me to listen to you? Things don't usually work out like that in this world, (y/n). I warned you not to shout at me again or you would get punished, yet you did it again. Were you craving for me this much?" He asks with a smirk on his face, and then he decides to unbutton your (his, actually) coat, leaving your underwear as the only clothing making a barrier between your body and his.

You are wearing a deep blue lingerie set that your mother had gifted you just one day before the signing of the treaty. It is really beautiful; with a white floral pattern at the edges that makes it adorable and provocative at the same time.

You begin to sob and you open your eyes, even though they hurt you. You look at him with unfocused eyes and tears running freely on your face. Meanwhile, Ardyn's hand continues to move downward, going through your waist and hips until it reaches one of your thighs. He lies on the bed next to you and rests his head on his free hand as he starts drawing circles on your skin, each of them leaving a trail of fire that increases your temperature.

The argument you held with him in the Crow's Nest resounds in your head, bringing with it every question and doubt that began to lurk you the moment the room turned cold.

"I-I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to say those things about you. I was just nervous because of the money... I really d-do need it. Please, Ardyn. You are scaring me. I'll do everything you ask for, but please, don't do anything to me..." You say while crying, hoping with all your being that he won't hurt you.

Ardyn then stops drawing circles on your skin and stops lying on his hand to hover over you, positioning himself in between your legs. Your hips together and your torsos separated, in such a way that you only support a third of his weight.
