Chapter 24: Testing boundaries

I don't how I went from laying in that disgusting prisoner room to his. I wasn't sleeping that good on that terrible anyway but I felt better being there. The corner made me feel a little safe seeing as he laid on the bed lost in thought. He wasn't to be trusted no matter what and with every fiber of my being I hated him.

He sat up to crack his neck. With each crack, I grew uncomfortable. "You are to sleep on the floor if you please," I heard the door lock.

How am I supposed to leave now? I suppose I could take the window as a second option but that would result in automatic death. With a heavy sigh, I grabbed a pillow and laid on the hard wooden floor. It wasn't in the slightest comfortable and my body was already starting to hurt. Suddenly, I felt my leg being lifted in the air and something heavy clamp down on it.

I glared "What the absolute fuck?!" I blurted out

He gave a smirk and walked back to his bed "Shut up and go to sleep,"

I was beyond pissed at this point and my anger overflowed like a volcano "It's stupid to put a damn chain on my ankle when my other one is badly injured due to you! I demand you take this shit off right now!"

He gave me a death glare and walked up to me. He towered over me with no problem "I suggest you watch yourself before I put you in your place," Every threat he said fell out of his mouth with ease. He's so used to threatening people and meaning every word but this time I'm tired of it.

"I'm not scared of you dammit! You always feel you can do whatever you want but guess what Lucius!? I'm human and I don't belong to you or anyone else for that matter. You may be hella tall and you may possess strength far more than I do but I will not and I repeat will NOT stand for this anymore! Now release me from this chain at once you asshole!" I snapped, my chest heaving up and down.

He raised his hand high in the air before striking it down with brute strength on my cheek. My neck jerked from the impact and I tumbled to the floor. I rose from the floor and made the tightest fist I could muster and I delivered a blow to his nose. He stumbled back a bit with surprise plastered on his face. He looked dead in my eyes and lifted his hand allowing his fingers to brush against his nose. Clearly, he was surprised by my outburst but that soon disappeared.

He smiled and began laughing like a maniac "I'll give you points you have balls. I respect that." He moved back to the bed plopping down.

I stared at him oddly. Wasn't he going to try to assault me? No snarky remarks? No orders to have something cut or bruised?! He turned off the light and turned his attention to the Tv. I couldn't believe it he just laid down... and did nothing else.

I fidgeted with the chain before leaned back against the wall. I barely knew Charlotte but anything was better than being here with him. I had no idea what was going through that brain of his. Although, I wasn't quite sure if I wanted to.

『••✎••』

There was heat surrounding my entire body. It felt like I was being snuggled to death but in a comforting way. How odd... my eyes slowly fluttered open not excepting to see the sight before me. There I laid pressed up against Lucius's chest as his hands laid softly on my lower back. My eyes went wide and I tried to wiggle free since fear took over but his grip became tighter than before.

He stirred slightly before his face went into the crook of my neck. His beard tickled my skin a little bit but I stayed still. What the hell am I doing in his bed in the first place? I don't remember getting in it. All I know is that I want to get out of it right now before he gets up. But much to my dismay I never did manage to slip through his grasp and eventually it was just a matter of time before he stirred indicating he was waking up soon.

Dammit! I need to be freed. I tried wiggling once more but once I felt him fully awaking I quickly stopped all movement and shut my eyes.

A loud yawn filled the room and his grip loosened. "I know you aren't asleep little butterfly. Stop with the acting - even as I slept I felt your body heat raising," He flicked my forehead making me flinch

I jumped up and straddled his lap "The fuck you flick my forehead for?! That shit hurt you asshole!" I hissed rubbing my now throbbing forehead. Is he trying to make me have a worse headache than I already have?!

His hands slithered slowly to my hips making me freeze in place. My heart began to hammer in my chest and right away I began mixed with fear and began becoming flustered. But then again I was sitting directly on his lap now and his friend was poking at my thigh.

"What's wrong? You are done being feisty already?" A smirk was plastered cockily on his stupid ass face.

I placed both palms on his chest and tried pushing away. "Enough! I demand to be let go!" I probably looked pathetic pushing him like this and he didn't even budge. It was like I was a bunny trying to push a huge ass wolf off of me.

His eyes danced with amusement and before I knew it he raised a hand and slammed it down on my ass making me welp in shock and in pain. "I think I'll keep you," He slowly slid me off and onto the bed before getting up and walking towards to bathroom.

I'll kill him! My adrenaline was surging through my veins so fast that I didn't even realize my ankle hurt when I attempted to stand and that resulted into me almost falling if it wasn't for me holding onto the wall. I can't do anything in this condition - it's completely useless to even try.

His hands slid on my shoulder before pushing me the bed. "H-hey let me go now," I raised up but he only pushed me back down.

"Stop moving I need to see the healing process. If you keep moving I'll bite you," He stayed calm at the horrid sight of my ankle. My face scrunched up from how bad it looked.

"Ew, it's not very pleasing to view," I said to myself. It started to burn slightly along the horrid throbbing. Maybe while his guard is down I should grab one of his weapons. I side eyed his nightstand knowing he sat one of the guns in there.

Suddenly, I was thrown over his shoulder and being taken to the bathroom. "Get yourself cleaned up we have somewhere to be," He sat me on the counter before leaving me slightly confused.

I opened the shower door to a bunch of feminine products laying out. And they were all the products I used and liked. How could he possibly know all this information about me?! I whipped my head back and forth violently searching for cameras

"There aren't anything cameras now take the damn shower,"

"If there were no cameras then how did you know I was searching for some prick," I muttered slowly taking off my shirt.

The door flew open at lightning speed. In reaction, I jumped and slapped my arms trying to cover up my half taken off bra. "What did you mutter under your damn breathe?!" He snapped

How the hell did he even hear me?! "Get out! I'm in the middle of undressing!"

He snatched my wrist in a death grip and pulled it away from my chest. "Watch your tongue, girl" He warned

My heart began hammering once more and I went into panic mode until he let go. He was extremely bipolar that was for sure. One moment he seemed the slightest bit of playful to lower your guard and then he would punch reality back down your throat just as easily. It was exactly how my day played out until it was time to go to sleep.
