her legs hit the bed. He released her for a moment, gave her a heated look, then started removing her clothing with deft movements.
Once he got her completely naked, he stepped back and looked her up and down, his eyes gleaming with dark pleasure. “Perhaps I ought to take away all your clothing. Then you’ll always be here, naked and waiting for me, and I doubt you’ll think twice about trying to escape in the nude.”
“You wouldn’t dare,” she said, even as she suspected he very well might dare. She lifted her chin, still bristling at his suggestion.
He gripped her hair and gave her a stern look that only caused the aching in her core to spread, until everything between her legs was throbbing so hard, she was almost in pain. If he didn’t touch her there soon, she might have to take matters into her own hands.
“Turn around and bend over the bed, human.” He released her hair and backed up, gesturing for her to obey with a wave of his hand. His powerful gaze penetrated deep, causing nerves to flitter in her tummy.
Even though part of her still wished to rebel, she found herself complying with his demands, and she quickly turned around and bent over the bed. A trembling breath escaped her lips, and she gripped the covers, waiting for him to sink inside her. She heard the rustle of clothing behind her, and anticipation skittered through her body. Soon. Her aching increased. Soon he would be inside her.
He didn’t make her wait long. A second later, she felt the girth of his cock pressing at her slick entrance. He thrust into her with one quick drive that made her cry out in a mixture of pleasure and pain. Even though she was swollen and wet and achy, his size was still difficult to handle.
He proceeded to grip her hips, digging his fingers into her flesh, and started pummeling her with a ferocity that stole her breath.
Was he punishing her?
Given the recent tension between them, she couldn’t help but wonder if his roughness was meant to be chastising.
The logical part of her brain raged at the very idea, but the other part of her, the secret part of her that craved his dominance and his possession, reveled at the feel of his fingers digging painfully into her hips and the brutality of each deep, rapid thrust.
“I won’t let you go, human. Ever.” He growled and maintained his punishing pace of fucking her, his balls slamming into her clit with each fast plunge. “You’re my responsibility and one I take seriously. I intend to protect you from the injustices in my world, as much as I can, but you need to understand that I am not all-powerful. I cannot change Kall laws at my whim. I cannot free you. I cannot undo Judge Commak’s order.”
He paused for a moment and when he next spoke, his voice was deeper than usual.
“Even if I could let you go, Layla, I don’t believe I would. I like owning you, and I think, deep down, you like being owned—you’re just afraid to admit it. You’re afraid of getting hurt.”
She remained in place, bent over the bed, while General Zamek continued to fuck her hard, as his words penetrated her conscious. She wanted to deny all he’d just said, but the words stuck in her throat.
She was petrified of enduring another heartbreak, but she couldn’t see how her situation with the general would lead to anything but. No matter how well he treated her, she would always long for freedom, she would always crave what he couldn’t give her.
When she felt the wave of an orgasm approaching, she tensed and tried to hold it at bay, not wishing to give the general the satisfaction of knowing he’d brought her to the heights of ecstasy. But the steady impact of his balls striking her clit soon hurled her over the edge, and she gasped and writhed in place as the powerful climax swept over her, leaving her struggling for air. Damn him. Damn him damn him damn him.
He gave a dark chuckle that revealed he’d sensed her internal struggle.
“Don’t worry, little human, there’s nothing to be embarrassed about. I know I am difficult for you to resist.”
Her face heated and if she had the strength, she would’ve growled at him and tried to push him on the floor.
Moments later, his cock jerked inside her, beginning its usual vibration as he started to fill her
