[Completed] Riley Hayes | A Vampire Novel - Book I

Chapter 13 - justified punishment

Leuca's pov

"No, no, no... You listened poorly, Riley. You can't just step out of our deal..." I told my feisty bunny, did she really not hear me say a full day? I was surprised she went along with it for a blanket and some supplies... Now I understood, she merely thought for a few hours at most

Her face fell, she was in an impasse but eventually, she came to a decision."You're horrible, my Lord."

Her grumbling and annoyance made me smile. "I am, my pet... How about going to the lounge room and have some fun?" I would love to have her sprawled over my lap, moaning for my touch. Begging me to pleasure her and her adoring every second of it.

I needed her to want to please me. Her honest green eyes looking up at me in awe. I wanted that so badly. She loathed my kind for what we have done to humans, but I didn't want her to despise me.

I kept these thoughts to myself, she's a mere human after all. One I didn't even know for a month yet. Any other human would have met their end already for disobeying me but strangely it amused me when she did it. To an extend though, her bravery and strong-willed mind amused me. Her disrespect seemed to frustrate me to no end. Her bland rejection infuriated me. No one rejects me.

"You're very welcome to go there, my Lord. However, it is dinner time in less than half an hour." She said and made me glance at the clock.

"That's true, then we'll go there afterward," I told her, maybe some alcohol and she can relax a little.

It was adorable how she was trying to be a good pet for a little more, avoiding eye contact en addressing me properly. It was such a... Turn on... And damn, her scent was driving me insane. "Won't you be my starter, Riley? I whispered in her ear. I didn't care if I was late for once.

Normally all the humans around here will drop to their knees and give me everything I want. Why won't she? "Won't that be a waste right before dinner, my Lord?"

"Hmmm, I'm quite hungry so I could use a starter. Lean your head back, Riley." I didn't like how she was trying to avoid it, her duty was to serve and please me.

"No, Leuca..." She said, her tone filled with disgust. Did she actually dare? Did she dare to say no to me? She even had the guts to push me away.

"Riley..." I warned her, this is what was making me so angry. Didn't she see at all what her rejection does to me?

She shrugged, "yeah no, I've already gone way too far with this. Screw a blanket or pillows, my dignity is worth-"

The slapping sound confused her for she froze and frowned. It was as if the pain dawned at her and then she realized what I had done. Maybe teaching her a lesson will set her head straight.

She was about to speak again when my palm collided with her other cheek. She needed to stop arguing with me and going against me. She should've kept her mouth shut and hang her head down after the first slap.

"Fuck-" she was about to speak again, seriously? Did she not learn at all? Why was she so damn reluctant to obey me? I swung again but this time she anticipated it and cleanly dodged me by ducking under my arm.

"You!" She finished after dodging me.

"This is your last warning, behave now or you're going to get it, Riley." I took a step closer to her to get my point across. Though her expression on her face and the way she huffed at me told me enough.

She even dared to take a step closer as well, pulling me into a staredown. I could've forgiven her for her insolence. The thing she did next set my raging fire ablaze, she made me go so mad and lose control.
