It was starting to look that way more and more each minute. After all, I couldn’t forget the note I found in the basket of food telling me to ‘play along’. And well, other than Trice, no one else knew I was a Princess other than the man at my back comforting me with his gentle touch.
I continued to try and convince myself that this was the case, despite the pain his next words inflicted.
“The witch does so to toy with me no doubt…besides, well trained submissive slaves like this one are hard to come by, and I grow tired of the thought of training another, especially when she fits my cock so well.” Lucius said as he stroked the top of my head, like…well like a damn pet! Gods, but how I really hoped this was all for show.
“Yes, she must be a very good fucking fit for your cock considering you just near tore fucking Hell apart to find her, and as for training, well then I wouldn’t praise the bitch for that too much seeing as she managed to run from you,” he said making Lucius snap and he did so by leaving my back in a heartbeat. I sneaked a look to the side to find in that second of leaving me, Lucius now had the man’s neck in his grasp and had him pinned to the column he had been stood by with his feet off the ground.
“Be careful, my Šeš, for no one is permitted to speak of my slave in that way other than her Master! Do I make myself clear?!” The man who he had strangely named the same thing he had called Lucius, growled back and his fangs lengthened dangerously before he snarled like a wild beast, all calmness a thing of the past. But Lucius tightened his hold and banged the man’s head against the column as his wings expanded out in a show of strength. I quickly looked to the sea of demons to find them all watching this scene play out with great interest. I turned back to do the same after first granting a brief, confused look at Trice who, like everyone else, was obviously questioning the actions of his King.
“Yield to a greater power, Šeš, and remember your fucking place, for I am not the King you once knew!” Lucius threatened making the man grimace in pain as Lucius obviously squeezed his neck harder. But before long he lowered his gaze and his fangs retracted, showing his submission. And well, if there was one thing this scene told me, then it was that whoever this person was, despite his actions, he meant something to Lucius. Because I knew that had it been any other, then Lucius wouldn’t have thought twice about just killing him.
After this show of compliance, Lucius let him go and it was a show of strength when the man didn’t just drop to his knees as the marks Lucius had made on his flesh looked like burns. However, he just twisted his neck a little and rolled a shoulder as if trying to brush off the memory of his King’s touch.
“Now you will tell me of this attack but first...” Lucius paused his demand with what I was soon to find out was in place of another. But this was after walking back over to me and spinning me once more until I was facing him. Then he nodded to the floor and continued his demands,
“…Pick it up.” My eyes widened when looking up at the cruelty in his eyes before he added in a hard tone,
“Now”
I swear but if I could have clenched my teeth any harder, I would have felt them cracking. Because the impulse to tell him to fuck off was getting harder to hold back by the second. Yet despite this, I also knew that being hot headed right now wasn’t going to help me and it certainly wasn’t worth the five seconds of satisfaction it would achieve. I needed to be smart and right now that meant doing as I was told. So, with this mindset, I looked down and started to lower, when suddenly, he grabbed my arm and hauled me back up.
“When you lower to your knees before me, I want your eyes on my own, just like I trained you…now again!” he snarled in annoyance and I gritted my teeth once more, refraining yet again
