He clears his throat, his voice coming out low and almost a whisper. “I grew up in a cult.”
Everything stops as I take a second to let that tidbit of information sink in.
Void grew up in a cult.
That explains some things.
My head starts to spin as I think of all the possible shit he’s witnessed or been put through. My breathing quickens, a cold sweat racing over my skin.
“Ivy?” Void’s concerned voice breaks through my rising panic as he turns to me, and that’s enough to bring me back to earth.
He grounds me.
He’s my rock.
I put on a calming smile and keep massaging his shoulders. “Keep going… tell me everything.”
“My father ran it, he was known as The Redeemer…” He pauses. “That man was anything but.”
I continue to listen as Void hesitantly tells me his story.
“I grew up with many siblings, some older, some younger, male and female, but none of us knew who our mothers were. It’s just how it went. The women in the cult shared the duties and responsibilities of taking care of the children. They were all our mothers, I suppose.”
An ache forms deep inside my chest, thinking about my mother. I grew up loving her, but she was taken from me far too soon. I can’t imagine growing up not knowing who she was. It must have been terrible for Void.
“You say you have siblings. Do you ever see them?”
“No. I have no clue where they are. Some went to jail, others to foster homes. I was lucky when I got out.”
“How did you? Get out, I mean?”
He takes a few deep, steadying breaths. “I started knowing something wasn’t right. Maybe this way of life that was ingrained into me wasn’t the right way. When my dad started bringing in outsiders, and they wouldn’t assimilate, they wouldn’t change to our way, I started listening. They kept telling me it was wrong. We were immoral for doing what we were doing. That what I was doing was evil.”
My fingers stop on his shoulders. “What were you doing?”
His chin drops to his chest again, like he’s ashamed. “I was only young, sixteen at the time, but my father was trying to initiate me to become like him and my older brothers who were running the farm. I didn’t know any better, I was raised this way from birth. It’s all I ever saw growing up. When the children turn five, we were taken to a party to see the elders doing all kinds of fucked-up things. That was our initiation into the farm. Honestly, from that age, it’s so entrenched into you it all becomes second nature.”
I need something to relieve my tense muscles now.
“Void… what were you doing?” I repeat my previous question.
He turns facing me, his eyes meet mine, and they’re so full of regret, it smacks me right in the chest. “My job was to tie women to the wooden crosses naked, and make sure they were prepared for the elders.” He grimaces the second he says it, his whole face screws up in pain.
“It was a sex cult?”
“Yeah… everything my father and brothers did was in aid of pleasing the human form. The women who were there were willing participants, but then he started bringing in outsiders, and they… they were not willing. That’s when I knew that maybe this life I’d been living wasn’t the right kind of life for me.”
“So, you got out?”
“The farm was raided by the heat. My father and older brothers were taken into custody, the rest of us sent to foster homes. I struggled for a long time fighting between the urges my father taught me to embrace, and the life the real world taught me was the right way. It’s why I struggle with you, Ivy. Because I don’t want to be that guy with you.”
I shuffle, moving around to sit next to him. “I get it now.”
“You do?”
I let out a small exhale. “Yeah. Growing up like that is rough. It made you think, made you act differently.”
“Yeah, exactly. It’s why I can’t rush this with you, Ivy. We both have to be ready.”
After hearing his story, all he’s been through, plus the fact he’s finally opened up to me, I can’t imagine a better time than right now. I sit up on my knees, grabbing the hem of my shirt and slide it over my head, then throw it to the floor, leaving me in my black lacy bra.
Void widens his eyes like he has no clue what the fuck I’m doing as my heart begins to race. “I am ready, Void. You won’t hurt me. Trust yourself like I trust you.” I reach out, grabbing his hand, moving it to the top of my breast. He squeezes, just enough to send a wave of excitement through me. “Don’t hold back, Void. Just let go.”
A low growl reverbs through him as he lunges forward, taking me with him as he throws me back onto the bed. I let out an excited squeal as his lips press against mine. His tongue slips in rogue and hot as my hands slide up his back and into his hair pulling him closer. Void’s body presses down between my legs against my aching pussy.
I can’t help but let out a whimper into his mouth.
He pulls back from me, and for a second, I think he’s going to stop, but his hands move either side of my bra, and with brute strength, he rips it apart at the seam. I let out a small giggle as I throw it off to the floor as his eyes take in my ample mounds.
He shakes his head. “Fucking hell! I’m going to go easy on you this first time, Ivy, but next time, I can’t make any damn promises.”
Hearing him talk like that does something to me. I squirm on the spot as his fingers make quick work of my leggings, yanking them down the same time as my panties, leaving me completely bare in front of him.
Void sits back on his knees between my legs, spreading them wide. He closes his eyes for a moment, just taking in a few deep breaths before he opens them again. “You’re so fucking sexy like this, Ivy.”
I gnaw down on my bottom lip while waiting patiently for him to touch me. “Void, please,” I beg.
He grins, the sight almost making me orgasm on the spot as his head ducks down between my legs. Anticipation builds inside of me, then his tongue hits my clit, and I gasp at the warmth. I’ve never felt anything like it before. Sure, I’ve double-clicked my mouse more times than I can count, but this, this takes it to a whole new level. “Shit,” I pant as his tongue caresses me in the best possible way.
A tingle starts and moves from my toes to the tips of my hair as I pant loudly. My fingers move down, instantly threading through his hair and holding him to me. He slowly slides a finger inside me, the same time his tongue annihilates my senses. My back arches off the bed as I let out a throaty moan. I’ve never had a man touch me before, and hell am I glad Void is the first because he’s amazing.
His finger moves in and out, the same time his tongue flicks my clit. Beads of sweat top my brow as goosebumps riddle my skin all over. My breathing quickens so fast, I can hardly catch it. My fingers grasp his hair, holding him to me, as I gnaw on my bottom lip so intensely it hurts, but I love the pain. Everything’s so damn fucking good.
“Holy shit, Void!”
He pushes his finger up higher, making my entire body shudder and shake as he flicks his tongue one more time. My muscles tense, so fucking tight, it’s like they might burst from the tension as lights flash behind my eyes. I hold my breath as a wave of pure ecstasy slams over my body so fucking intense I find it hard to breathe, then my muscles relax, and everything turns to jelly. “Jesus Christ.”
Void chuckles as he quickly stands from the bed. I’m too zoned out even to focus right now, but his belt buckle clangs, then there’s ruffling of his pants falling to the floor, then two thuds. I assume that’s his boots.
Suddenly, I’m being hoisted up, and my jelly-like body is moving through the air with his strong arms waking me up right away.
Void sits his naked body on the bed, pulling me to kneel over the top of him. “You have more control this way. You’re able to guide how deep you wanna go, and if it hurts, you can slow down or stop.”
“If it feels anything like that just did… I’m never gonna want to sto
p.”
Void’s soft lips stretch but not quite meeting his hooded eyes. His hand shifts up, caressing my cheek, pulling my face to his. Our lips connect, and I kiss him with every damn thing I have in me. All I’ve wanted for so damn long is to fuck Void, and now the moment is here. I thought I’d be nervous, a hint of anxiety about this, but all I feel is ready.
My hand moves down, and my fingers barely wrap around the width of his cock as I pull it into place beneath me. I line my pussy up as I continue to kiss Void with everything I have.
Edging the tip of his cock to my opening, my heart races in anticipation as I slowly, very slowly, slide onto him.
I gasp.
He’s huge.
I break our kiss, resting my forehead against his, letting myself become accustomed to his size before I go any further.
His hands slide up my back, helping to keep me in place against him as we sit together. “I got you,” he whispers.
My eyes meet his, nothing but adoration is coming back from them. “Yeah, you do.” I lean my lips against his again, keeping my eyes on his as I kiss him, then continue pressing down. A pinch hits me deep inside, but it’s not unbearable, more like an ache in the pit of my stomach and certainly not enough to stop me from moving. If anything, it spurs me on more.
I’m not a virgin anymore.
Void’s hands on my back run soothingly as I begin to slide up and down. Void’s cock inside me is like nothing I’ve ever felt before. It’s filling, intense, with the overwhelming feeling of him surrounding me. His cock is so fucking big, I’m not even down on him the entire way, and he’s stretching me so damn much. It’s a mixture of uncomfortableness teamed with pleasure as I continue to work myself on him.
“You’re so fucking tight, Ivy, I can hardly stand it,” he groans, his voice husky and full of lust.
I pant, my walls loosening a little, enjoying each movement more and more as he keeps an even pace with me. It’s not frantic, it’s not animalistic, but it’s certainly not slow and tender either as a wave of pleasure rolls over me.
Eventually, I lower myself onto him fully, and we both let out a deep moan as my nails on his back dig in. “Fuck!” His cock pulses inside me as his thrusts meet mine. No wonder people go crazy over sex, it’s the best feeling in the world.
I move a little faster, a rhythm building, the pleasure rolling through me as I ride him. My head falls back as I start to pick up the pace. The ache seems gone, now only desire and enjoyment flood me. My fingers run through Void’s hair as his lips move to my neck, his teeth graze me, his tongue darting out and running along my skin.
I pant for breaths as the pleasure rises inside me. “Fuck, this feels so good,” I whimper.
Void groans. “Can you handle a little more?”
“Yes.” The word comes out all breathy.
Void’s hands move to my hips, and he starts to move me. My eyes widen as he rotates his hips in time with the movements, then thrusts deeper. I let out a moan as my fingers thread through my hair, gripping tightly as I ride him.
“Oh shit! Oh, shit!” The intensity picks up dramatically as I clench my eyes tight. A tingle shoots all the way through my body, my back arching as lights dance behind my eyes. “Oooh, fuck!” My orgasm slams into me deep inside, making me shudder all over. My body falls forward, my arms looping around his neck as I grip hold of him, trying to bring the intensity under control.
“Hold on, sweet thing, I’m not done yet.”
Hearing him call me sweet thing wakes me. I sit back, continuing to ride him, my arms resting on his shoulders. His hand snakes down between us, pressing on my clit. My eyes roll back into my head as I pant, frantically riding out this crazy wave of pleasure. “Void...” I plead.
“I know, we’re almost there.” His voice comes out as a breathy groan. “Are you ready?”
I whimper, not sure what he has in store for me next. “Yes.”
Void grabs my hips, pulls me off, then slams in me so deeply I see stars. My breath catches as something inside me clicks. The power of his thrust, the pleasure he’s triggering unleashes something dark inside of me—a woman I didn’t know who I was until right this very second. I guess I had an inkling, I knew something dark was inside me, but now poison Ivy is coming to the surface, and I can’t control her. If my virtue was the key to poison Ivy’s chastity belt, consider the cage wide-fucking-open.
As my hands move to Void, I let out a growl, pushing him back down onto the mattress. His eyes widen as one of my hands moves to the side of the bed, the other to his throat. My eyes meet his, an understanding in them as I tighten my fingers around his neck. A light explodes behind his eyes when his hands move to my ass, moving me on and off his cock, faster and harder, to reach our mutual climax. Void bites down on his bottom lip like he’s in fucking heaven as I clench harder on his neck, the skin around my fingers starting to turn red as I ride him.
The tingle in my body ignites again, bursting through me. I let out a guttural moan, riding him fucking hard. Void’s cock inside me throbs, I think he’s getting close too as I tighten my grip around his throat. My body slickens in a sheen of sweat, goosebumps lining my skin as I clench my eyes, the explosion smashes into me at full force.
I let go of Void’s neck, bringing my palm up, slapping him hard across his face. His head snaps to the side. A throaty moan ignites inside of him as he grabs my hips spinning me and flopping me down onto the bed. He pumps a couple more times inside of me, then pulls out, exploding all over my stomach, his hot cum coating me from the tip of my pussy to below my breasts.
I exhale, letting out a contented chuckle as he drops onto the bed beside me, panting for air. At the same time, I stare up at the ceiling, feeling like a completely different woman.
Holy shit.
Void turns his head from the pillow to look at me. “Well, hello, poison Ivy.”
“Too much?”
He flips over onto his back, throwing his hands under his head. “Honestly, that was perfect. Not what I was expecting, but fucking perfect. That slap at the end… I’ve never come so fucking hard!”
I smile, glancing down at the mess on my stomach. “You better clean this up.”
He snorts out a laugh. “Gimmie five, you nearly cut off my airway.”
“Oops, my bad.”
Void leans in, planting a kiss on my lips. “No, you’re good. Very, very good. I don’t know why I delayed this for so fucking long now.”
“Well, I did try to tell you.”
He shifts onto his side, moving a strand of hair away from my face in a gentler gesture. “I know I treated you like you couldn’t handle this, and as it turns out, I did keep myself in check, but you’re the one who unleashed.”
My palm moves to his cheek, caressing it as his eyes stare into mine. “Maybe now you’ll start not treating me like some innocent little girl anymore?”
He chuckles. “Yeah.”
“Now, clean me up!”
Void shifts off the bed. “Yes, ma’am.”
Chapter Fifteen
VOID
The Next Day
Fucking Ivy was everything I didn’t expect it to be. It was her first time, so I held back, kept my past where it belonged, buried under years of psychotherapy. But in an instant, she had it all creeping back and bubbling under the surface.
Oh, the things I want to do to her now.
Ivy is always surprising me, but this was on a whole other level of surprise. The choking, I thought maybe she was doing it to appease me. But when she slapped me, the playful twinkle in her eye and the cocky smirk on her face, both let me know she’s all about the kink.
How the hell could I be so lucky?
It’s like I brought something out in Ivy, something maybe she wasn’t even sure was there. But she’s brought something out in me, too, because I stayed with her after we fucked. Usually, I would fuck and flee. I’m not used to sticking around after I bed a woman, so staying, having a conversation, showering together, then f
alling asleep with her in my arms, yeah, that never happens. It’s all new to me. I’m feeling things for her I am not sure I ever thought I would feel. And to be honest, I liked it.
The idea Ivy and I could fall into this pattern together feels damn good.
It feels right.
But I do need to figure out what the fuck I’m gonna do about those photographs that are burning a hole in my pocket since I still have no damn leads. I have no clue what they mean. I’ve got nothing else. No idea if it’s a threat or not, but I’m sure I need to take it as one.
Ivy’s in the crop doing her thing. Unfortunately, she now has to work extra hard seeing as Dash isn’t around. I feel bad about that, but at the same time, I’m relieved he’s not here. It’s made life with Ivy so much fucking easier. So, I sit at the bar as my brothers fuck about around me.
Stacey walks in with the mail, handing me a fucking envelope. “Another one for you, VP.”
My muscles are tense as I grab the orange envelope from her hand, which is stamped the same as the last one. Taking a deep breath, I slide it open. No pictures, it’s practically empty, so I turn the envelope upside down, and a key slides out with a tag attached. Rolling my shoulders, I turn the tag over.
You’ve unlocked her chastity belt, so now she’s ready.
My eyes shoot open as I grip the key in my hand tightly.
A cold shudder runs down my spine.
I haven’t told anyone about what happened with Ivy and me yesterday. Not a single soul knows, and unless she’s told someone, we have a big problem.
I know I can’t keep this to myself.
I have to tell Nycto.
So, I quickly make for my room, grabbing the envelope with the photographs, then walk back out to the chapel to find my president. I knock on the door, hear a grumble, then turn the handle. He’s buried deep in paperwork as I walk in. “What’s happening?”
“Just getting shit dealt with paying back Hatch for Eva and Ivy.”
“I should offer you some cash, you put everything up to keep them here. I’m profiting out of the arrangement, let me offer some greenbacks to help.”
