Devils muse

Tame

Alrik's POV

She lay there stiff as if she were stone dead, her beautiful peach skin now a winters white... she left me hungry. But yet I was satisfied? Perhaps it was because I knew she was bent to me now, or perhaps I finally felt her flesh the way I almost wanted to feel it. A warm pocket moist for her king.

I stroked a single finger along her skin leaving a trail of goosebumps in its way. Even in sleep she felt fear...

"Alrik, what have you done..?"

I turned to look back at Cerberus, his eyes glued to me, "what are you talking about?"

He rolled his eyes, "I am talking about her, what have you done to her..? I can smell the fear and remorse..."

"I claimed her, she tried to run from me; from our home which kept her safe... so I showed her what can happen if another demon had found her before I."

He shook his head, " you raped her.."

I scoffed, "and it was enjoyable... what more do you want to know? She was bedded."

This time he looked to me and laughed, "I know you did not finish Alrik, you're stiff and tense. Your eyes are craving more when they should be pleased..."

I growled, "no matter. She was taken by me and her virgin blood now tainted by a demon... she knows now that she is mine... yes, mine..."

We grew silent as I felt her shaking from my words, tears squeezed from her eyes as she slept, and that anchoring feeling was back... I gripped my chest and groaned. Why does this happen when she cries..? She was only a pawn to me, yet why do I ache? It was then her eyes opened to gaze up at me, they too shook in my presence. There was only silence between us, her eyes followed down to see my hand caressing her skin and she pushed herself away from me now trembling.

"Scared child?"

She glared at me, "you're a monster..!"

Tears swelled into the pools of her eyes, streaming down her face glistening in the moonlight. I laughed and leaned forward licking the tears off of her warm cheeks, she gasped when my tongue ran a long her skin. Even her peachy skin tasted sweetly on my tongue, the simple smell of her warm flesh lured me to her closer and closer till I found myself pushing her onto her back.

"Please not again! I'm begging you Alrik please!"

This was not what I was doing, nor would this be how I would do things... my body was moving along her by its own whim. She cried under me whaling against my chest, yet I traced my nose all over her skin taking in every smell that I could of her. I did not want anything more at that moment then to breath in her sweetness, what was it about her that causes all this?

"What are you child..?"

She looked up at me when I spoke, "what...?"

Leaning closer to her I said again, "what are you child?"

"I-I don't know..! Please just get off of me..!"

I caressed her cheek gazing at her for a moment then leaving her, she curled into a quivering ball before me. Her smell stuck into my nostrils giving me an unusual high... it was intoxicating, addicting even. I hungered to bury my face amongst her hair to smell more, no! What thought is that?! Was I a mere fool? No... I'm bound and raised by the seven deadly sins... I've taken many woman and subdued many men, one girl will not deter that from me. Perhaps I have a use for her now... I could use her to bait the other clan leaders and then strike them down..! It is a bold thought none the less.. but yet if it works they would not dare cross my path!

Claire's POV

I couldn't stop myself from shaking, my heart beat was ringing in my ears and my chest felt like it could explode. He himself allured me... but he is a monster... and unholy sinful monster! I began to cry harder, I could still feel his ghostly touch along my body... he seemed different then earlier... more calm, more... gentle...? Why? I remember his curious gentle eyes watching me closely as his nose dragged along my skin breathing in my scent... it's like he was intoxicated. What happened?

"Child..?"

My head shot up to see Cerberus staring at me, his eyes lowered and pained. "What do you want..?"

"Please child I want you to at least trust me..."

"Why should I trust any of you!? You're both keeping me prisoner here!"

"You aren't a prisoner... though it's his duty to tell you but you are under the highest detail of protection from the clan, to give you an example how far do you think you ran last night?"

I shivered as I watched the flashbacks from that evening strike in my mind... "I think fairly far from here..."

He smiled, "you ran past our territory line... if any other clan had caught whiff of your smell it would not have been Alrik doing what he did that night..."

I shuddered, "but if I was fare game... how did Alrik get to me first..?"

"The rest of the watch in the clan ran along you hidden within the shadows, you were protected the whole time..."

"It didn't feel that way, I was still raped..."

He gazed calmly at me. But no matter what any of them said I didn't deserve to be here... special blood or not, this is not the life I chose nor would I ever choose it! Somehow some way I would get out of this... I know I will. It was then Alrik entered the room, my body grew tense, he pushed his hair back with his hand as he gazed at me with his human form. His stature was very built and he stood so proud... it was intimidating.

"Come with me.." his voice was low but stern when he spoke to me, I couldn't move.

"I said, come with me." This time he forced the dominance in his voice when he grabbed at my wrist.

I winced but quietly followed him, he brought me to another room and pointed towards a bin of ragged clothes... they look like they hadn't been worn in years, the room itself was fairly gloomy. No windows no light whatsoever, it really brought the true meaning of prisoner to me....

"Are you not going to wear something?"

"Alrik.. where did you get those clothes...?"

He laughed quietly. "That's not important, but I would advise you change; we are addressing the rest of my clan about your arrival tomorrow, I do not want them staring at my property."

"It's my body! It isn't your property you mongrel!"

Grabbing me by my shoulders he slammed me against the wall, his stern face centimetres from mine; I could feel his calm breathing against my cheek and yet I couldn't look away... I was held still by his eyes it's almost like they wrapped chains around me, within my body I felt my stomach ache and my chest grew hot.. what was this..?

"I claimed you, you are mine..."

His words drained my strength to spit back at him, I had no fight no free will. I stared deeply into his Smokey grey eyes, they were moving so rapidly examining every inch of my face...

"Alrik...?"

He leaned closer to me smelling my hair again, my body shut down and I shut my eyes. I don't want to look at him I don't want to see what his devilish eyes are thinking. I couldn't bare it, what had I done in life to deserve this..? What made god say I was to be born with this "blood" that the demons spoke about?

"This smell...this smell of you, it is so intoxicating."

"Alrik please get off of me..."

His eyes seemed to snap back to his own, he released his grip from my shoulders and sighed heavily.

"You are doing something to me, go now back to your chamber... I will come for you later on."

Later on....
