Leaning back, he examines his work. “Now you will be able to remember who you belong to. If I tell you to do something and you refuse me again, the punishment will get worse.”
All of the women let me go as he crawls off the table, leaving me in a puddle of blood and tears. Clutching my hand to my chest, I run to the room they kept me in. There is a mirror directly in front of me on the counter. Walking over to look at my reflection, I uncover the spot on my chest, gasping in horror at the ‘M’ that has been carved into the flesh.
I hear the door closing before I see anyone in this dark room with me. When I feel his breath on my skin, my body tenses like it knows the Devil is near. Holding onto the counter on both sides of me, Mykael presses against my back. I’m still naked from earlier. I have no other clothes than the ones he cut off me. Closing my eyes, I wait for the serpent to strike.
“Lily, if you obey then you won’t be hurt anymore. I didn’t want to make you bleed. Actually, that’s a lie. Your blood makes me hard. Your tears make me wish for more,” he whispers, rocking himself against my naked skin.
Turning around, I meet Mykael’s eyes. “I won’t do what you ask. I don’t want to be here. I want to go home.”
Grinning, he leans in close enough that I can smell wood and the musky scent of sex. Tremors wrack my body as he runs his hand up my spine, cupping the back of my head. Grabbing a fistful of hair, Mykael pushes me down on my knees. I can tell what he wants from the bulge in his pants and the look of lust in his eyes.
“Open.”
Refusing to open my mouth does nothing but earn me punishment. With a sigh, Mykael reaches behind me. He is holding a rope in one hand as he walks behind me, looping it around my neck and binding my ankles with the other end.
“If you move then you will strangle yourself. Now open,” Mykael commands, unzipping his pants.
Parting my lips, he thrusts his hips forward. The salty taste of him is overwhelming my taste buds. I’m trying to push him out with my tongue but it’s no use. Mykael doesn’t stop until I’m gagging, the tears streaming down my face. My tears seem to fuel his need. Groaning, I can feel him tensing. Pulling himself from my mouth, I gasp for breath as he covers my face and chest with his come. The open skin burns from the sticky mess he left on me.
“I’ll untie you once you have cleaned it all off,” Mykael explains, zipping his pants and turning to walk away.
I don’t know how to do this, I’m bound with no way to move. My back is arched to give my legs a rest. The way he tied me, my ankles didn’t meet the floor until I leaned back against the cabinet, but that was hours ago. My back aches from the way I am positioned. The door slowly opens, which tells me this isn’t Nadine or Mykael, that’s not their style. I see her blonde hair before she turns around, and I know it’s Chloe.
“Here, let me untie that for just a minute. Mykael and Nadine will be in the room for at least another hour,” Chloe tells me, her small fingers loosening the binds.
“In the room?” I repeat, confusion marring my face.
“It’s her last chance to get pregnant. If she doesn’t this time, then well, I don’t know what will happen. It’s why you’re here, in case we need to replace her,” she rambles on as if she isn’t telling me they might let her go.
Clearing my throat, I try to find the words. “She gets to leave?”
Shaking her head, Chloe whispers, “We kill her.”
Chapter 5
Kill her? She is one of them, but if she can’t get pregnant, they will murder her. What does this mean for me? I’m not stupid, I know what Mykael wants. I’m terrified of how he will get it. The door slamming open causes both Chloe and I to jump, standing just outside the room is Nadine and Mykael.
Dropping the rope, Chloe scrambles away from me. “I was just checking on her, I swear.”
Nadine looks like a child in a candy store, her grin is frightening. Mykael doesn’t acknowledge Chloe. Instead, he saunters over to where I am, and it seems to wound her more than any physical punishment ever would. Mykael crouches down to eye level with me. Forcing back the bile threatening to rise, I don’t lower my gaze. Turing his head from side to side, he reminds me of a confused dog with the action, almost like he is studying me. Snapping his fingers, the women rush to stand behind him.
“Bring her. I will deal with you later, Chloe,” Mykael commands, causing Chloe to visibly pale.
He walks over to the shelf on the other side of the room picking up a small package and leaving the room. The ladies each grab one of my arms and drag me towards the door. I’m too scared to run. Naked and scared. When we enter the living room, he pats a chair in the center of the room. Mykael waits next to it holding a metal object in one hand and what looks like a curling iron in the other. I attempt to sit down, but his tsk-ing tells me that he doesn’t want that.
I stand waiting for some kind of instruction, when his raspy voice breaks the silence, “Turn around. Hold onto the chair and bend over.”
The silence is deafening as Nadine and Chloe grab my hands, holding me still. I never heard him speak to them. This must be something they have experience with. My body is shaking from fear when a piercing pain rips through me as Mykael begins to force something inside of my ass. Crying out, I let the tears fall as he pulls the object out only to shove it in again, and again. The muscle finally gives way, and it doesn’t hurt as much as it did in the beginning. Tapping the object one last time, I am told to sit down. It’s strange to sit with this thing inside of me, I feel full and uncomfortable, and at the same time, there is still a slight pain. Looking at his hands, I see the blood coating his fingers. My ass bled from what he did. I feel ashamed, I waited for so long to do anything with Ethan, and he stole it from me. This isn’t over though, Mykael is holding a curling iron.
Grabbing the back of Chloe’s head, Mykael forces her down in front of me. “As Lily’s punishment for what you did, you are to fuck Lily with this until I tell you to stop. Don’t break her virginity, I want that for myself. I don’t care how much she screams,” he tells her holding out the curling iron.
Sobbing, she moves in front of me taking one of my legs and tying it to the armrest, repeating it with my second leg as he stands behind me with his hand wrapped in my hair. Prying my lips apart, Chloe runs the tip of the iron along my clit, no doubt trying to prepare me for what is about to happen. My body tenses as she starts to push into me.
Leaning down next to my ear, Mykael whispers, “If you fight then she dies. Understood?”
Nodding, I draw in a breath as Chloe moves the hot iron inside of me. I hear and smell the singe of my skin before the pain registers in my brain. The tears streaming down my face remind me that I’m still alive as my nerves go numb. My screams seem to please him. Even if I’m not allowed to fight the intrusion, he can’t stop the shrill screams from escaping me. I can feel the thing inside of me moving back and forth. A cracked sob from Chloe brings me back to reality. She is mouthing the words I’m sorry over and over again. I don’t want her apology, I just want to go home. I wish we had never come out here. It has been nothing but hell since.
“That’s enough,” Mykael finally commands Chloe.
Dropping the curling iron, she wipes at her tears, still sitting at my feet as he walks around the chair. Mykael reaches down to grip her chin, forcing her to rise. Raising his hand, Mykael slaps her across the face, making her fall back down clutching her cheek. I am looking on in horror as Mykael brings his foot down on her other hand. She doesn’t move when he does it again and again. I can hear the bones breaking, the loud crunching taking over my senses. Chloe is choking back her sobs -- no doubt to keep from angering him more.
“Never do that again. Next time I’ll cut it off.”
I think it’s over, but I’m wrong. My hell has only lasted minutes I know, yet it feels like an eternity since I was dragged from that room. Mykael cuts the rope holding me to the chair and lifts me over his shoulder. I don’t fight him. There isn’t anything I cou
ld do to escape him.
Chapter 6
Throwing me down on the bed, he begins to remove the few clothes he is wearing. I see Nadine behind him, and she is glaring at me as if she would murder me if given a chance. I didn’t want this to happen, I don’t even want to be here.
“Strip, Nadine. On all fours, Lily,” Mykael commands.
Nadine rushes to remove her robe and the burgundy lingerie she wore for him. I almost feel bad for her, I ruined the night that could determine if she lives or dies. We are both waiting for some kind of direction from him. Pointing to the spot in front of me, Nadine crawls to the center of the bed. She lies down directly in front of me, and I am met with the vision of Nadine spread wide.
“Eat her. Make her come as an apology for ruining our time together. Don’t fucking stop even if she tries to push you away, keep going until I come,” he tells me, forcing my head down.
Lowering my head, I begin to weep as she wraps her thighs around my head. Mykael is palming my ass almost tenderly. Gently I stick out my tongue, running it down her opening. I can smell her arousal, the tangy taste of her on the tip of my tongue. Smack, smack, smack. I jolt from the force of Mykael’s hand meeting my skin. I flinch from the pain, tightening my core and feeling the thing inside of me. The tears running down my face do nothing to stop him.
“I said eat her,” Mykael grits out with each slap.
Taking a deep breath, I place my hands on her thighs, lowering myself. Sticking out my tongue, I lick her from her asshole all the way up to her clit and down again. Nadine moans which tells me that I’m doing something right. I use the tip to enter her the same way that Chloe did with the curling iron, drawing back out I suck on her clit, repeating the action over and over again. Mykael is kneading the globes of my ass, prying them apart, I feel a tug as he pulls the object from inside of me. My body relaxes if only for a moment.
I can feel him at my entrance tearing into me. My cries are muffled as he flexes his hips, driving his cock into my ass, causing me to push further into Nadine. The tears are pouring down my face. It burns, hurts, and I’m no doubt bleeding from the dryness and his size. Nadine tightens her thighs around my head, keeping me caged.
“That’s it. Be a good girl and make her come, make me come,” Mykael coos, plunging into me again.
If I get her to orgasm, maybe he will come, and this will all end. Diving back in, I suck on her clit until she is moaning, gasping for breath and begging for more. I work my fingers into her the same way he did to me. I feel powerful, commanding her body to release. Smack, smack. I tense from the pain of his swats which brings a moan from his lips. Tensing each time he pulls out seems to have an effect on him. I can feel Nadine’s legs shaking from what I’m doing. I can do this. I can survive this night, this hell.
Nadine finally cries out, “Mykael!” Her legs loosening and dropping open.
A final grunt from him lets me know he enjoys this. It feels like he is getting larger inside of me, his rapid, bruising thrusts hurt. I can hear the slapping of his skin against mine.
Crying out from the pressure, I hear Mykael call out, “Lily!” over and over again.
Nadine’s eyes widen at his words. I am a broken, sobbing mess but even I know that this is breaking her. Pulling himself from my body, I feel his hands running along my back.
“Leave Nadine. We will try one last time again soon. Lily will be here for the night,” Mykael directs her, pulling me to his chest.
I can feel the icy stare coming from Nadine. Neither of us speaks as she grabs her robe, jerking it on and walking out of the room.
“Come.”
I shuffle into the bathroom after him. Mykael turns on the shower, gesturing for me to enter. Taking tentative steps, I stand under the warm water, my salty tears mixing with the cascading water. My back turned to him, even under the warmth of the shower I can feel his body heat closing in on me. It’s suffocating. I’m ashamed at what they have done to me. I know it isn’t my fault, but all I can feel is the shame as I lean into his body. I need the small comfort he is providing. Otherwise, I don’t think I could manage to live.
“Be a good girl. Get on your knees, let me see your tears,” he whispers.
Turning around, I drop to my knees, waiting for a sign of what he wants. Lathering his cock, he rinses himself before he forces my jaw open, driving himself into my waiting mouth. Gagging, I try to stop him. He gets off on my pain, my humiliation. He tenses and I wait for the come to hit my throat. The warm stickiness hits my tongue and coats my throat as I try to breathe, causing me to choke.
“You better swallow every bit,” he commands, forcing me to close my mouth.
Mykael watches me as I choke and gag swallowing every drop. Patting my head, he steps out of the shower leaving me crying alone on the shower floor.
“I’ll see you when you’ve finished. You sleep naked in my bed. I don’t want a single thing to keep you from me,” Mykael says, closing the bathroom door.
Chapter 7
Patting the bed beside him, Mykael motions me forward. Quickly lying down, I roll over to my other side facing away from his face. My grandmother always told me the Devil had a handsome face, she’s right, I’ve met him in the body of Mykael. His chuckle causes me to still, wrapping one arm around me and pulling me close enough to grind his dick into my ass. Lying down next to the monster isn’t what they tell you to do in the stories. When you don’t know what the beast is going to do though, then you do what you can to survive.
“Tell you what, Lily. Tomorrow we will let you go free, if you manage to make it to town, we will leave you alone. But if one of us catches you, then you are mine. Do you understand?” Mykael whispers in my ear, his hand trailing down my stomach to the sore and charred flesh of my pussy.
Nodding, I allow myself to think about what it would be like to get away, to go home. I can do this, I know I can. But what am I going back to? They have killed Ethan, and all of my family is gone. With that thought, I let myself fall asleep wrapped in the arms of a monster.
The sunlight peeking through the curtains wakes me with a jolt. Mykael isn’t lying next to me which worries me. He can slither quickly and quietly like a snake getting ready to strike. The spot he was lying in is still warm, so I know he hasn’t been gone long. He’s like a predator in the wild, dangerous and feral. Looking down at myself I take in my nakedness, I don’t have any clothes to put on, all of mine were shredded yesterday. I grab a shirt from his closet, hoping he won’t be mad that I went through his things.
Walking out of the room, I see all of the women sitting around the table waiting, waiting for me. Taking the empty seat, expecting someone to speak.
“Here. These should fit you,” one of the ladies tells me, pushing clothes towards me.
Placing the jeans and shirt in my lap, I turn to her, “Thank you… I don’t know your name.”
“Zoey. That’s Danielle,” Zoey informs me, pointing at the other woman.
Their plates are all clean. They didn’t wait for me to eat with them which is fine since I don’t plan to be here after today. The sound of the door opening captures everyone’s attention, Mykael walks in with a smile on his face. Handing me a map, Chloe pats my hand then stands to clear the table.
Mykael takes his seat at the head of the table looking at me. “Lily, each of us has a map. You will have a five-minute head start. The rules are that you must make it into town before one of us catches you, you can defend yourself to get away. We start in one minute and while I love the sight of you in my clothes… I suggest you put those on. The snow isn’t going away.”
Scrambling to my feet, I run into the room I was kept in just a day ago. I put on the clothes as fast as possible, rummaging in the cabinet under the table I find a scalpel. Tucking the handled end into my pocket, I see my hiking boots, counting down how much time I have left.
A wicked grin spreads across his face as Mykael stands to open the door for me. “Run little girl, don’t let the big bad wolf c
atch you.”
I don’t look back. I take off running.
Chapter 8
I’ve been running for what feels like hours. Leaning against the pine tree, I pull out the map Chloe handed me. I can see the direction I should go, but I won’t follow any trails, that’s how they tricked me last time.
I’ve been walking in the same direction at a steady pace, when all of a sudden, I hear a twig snap. Someone is close. Ducking behind the brush, I wait to see who is coming. It’s Zoey. I reach out for the tree branch near me, holding it like a bat I wait for her to come close enough to strike.
“Come out, come out wherever you are Lily. You won’t get away,” she sings, luring in her prey like a siren.
Snap. I here metal grind into bone, a hunter’s trap has caught her foot. The trap teeth have embedded into her bone. I stand, preparing to run away when she cries out in pain. I should run away and not look back. Sighing, I turn around, making my way over to her.
“If I take it off you won’t try to stop me, right?” I question.
Shaking her head, she tells me what I already knew. “I will. I can’t let you go free, Mykael would kill me. The only reason Chloe is alive after last night is that she’s pregnant. I’m not.”
Turning, I take off sprinting away as she calls out to the others. I can’t let them catch me. The darkness is descending, the night is getting drastically colder, and I haven’t made it to town yet. I’ve been out here for hours getting lost.
I feel like someone is watching me. Sitting down, I wait for whoever it is to show themselves. I don’t have to wait long. Mykael slithers into view. His hands are in his pockets like he is just out on a stroll. Climbing to my feet, I stand frozen. This is it, the end. I can hear the creek which causes me to take off running towards it. I listen to the leaves rustling and the twigs snapping under his weight. Standing next to the bank, I contemplate if I should dive into the water to end the hell on my own.
