Her eyes found the doorway again.
He’ll come back.
She waited for his return but slumber found her first.
***
Aldora woke up to thedarkness and cold, to the shuffling of her captor in the shadows where she could no longer see. His presence moved over and around her, slinking in like the mists she had known her whole life.I can’t see him.And yet she knew he was right there.
The power that emanated from him brushed her skin, lifting the hairs on the back of her neck. The dirt crunched next to her ear.
“Tell me your secret.” His voice slithered into her ear, inhuman. Her sex clenched.
This is a nightmare.She was certain her small bedroom would appear with its wooden walls and crates of apples in the corner.
“No.”
“I will pry them out of you.” His voice was at her throat now. “Will tear them out from the outside in.” His breath warmed her still-damp clothes. “And replace them with my own.” The heat of his mouth moved down her belly. She parted her thighs as she felt him move over her. He took hold of her legs and pulled off her wet garments before spreading limbs wide. The air touched parts of her that it shouldn’t.
She was helpless and sensed that he enjoyed that, that she had nothing to worry about except for him.
There were no other monsters trying to kill her here, deep within the ground. The walls on every side were solid and impenetrable, even to those sounds she heard roaring above. It was almost like a bubble, one only a single beast was allowed entry to. Her body shook over the stone.
Thick, blunt fingers played across her sex, shocking her with the warmth of his touch.
This isn’t a nightmare.Her eyes widened as she clawed at his hands, pulling them away, closing her legs as far as they could go. Aldora pressed them into his sides, arching her back in an attempt to escape him. His laugh filled her ears and echoed back. He reared up over her as she moved to get away.
Vedikus caught her up in his arms and grazed his fingers down her arm. They left a slick trail in their wake. She squirmed and fought his power, pushing off and away from his large body, her heart and ears pounding. But the more she struggled, the more he slid his hands over her and explored her body. Within moments he had her pinned over his lap, his hand palming her backside. He squeezed her flesh and she dug her nails into his leg.
“Vedikus!” she gasped as he spread her cheeks apart.
His hands stilled. “So that is how I get you to say my name.” His laughter was replaced with a growl.
Aldora bit her tongue, anxious as she waited for his next move. He let out a sigh she felt throughout her whole body and ran his hand not down, but up along her spine to thread his fingers into her long hair. He fisted it and drew her face up to his.
She licked her lips as he positioned her to straddle him. She was still unable to see him, no matter how hard she tried. Her fingers came up to clutch his arms.
“Say it again,” he demanded.
“Vedikus.” His name slithered through her prone figure to penetrate the hollow ache between her thighs, filling her, stretching her out past the point of comfort. His arm wrapped around her lower back and pressed her against his lap. Her exposed sex rubbed over his loincloth. Aldora shuddered as she was settled over his large bulge.He’s not inside me yet.The thought was weak in her head.
“It sounds painful on your lips.” He released her hair.
“Because it is,” she said, adjusting herself, but no matter how she sat on him, his shaft pushed into her. “Vedikus,” she spat.
His sinister laughter filled the space once again, jostling her upon him. A pressure built in her core, each sensation pulling taut where their bodies threatened to join. Her nerves frayed beyond repair.
“I will not breed a sick female,” he said when he was done cackling. “But I would fuck one.”
Aldora didn’t believe him but sagged in his arms at the mention of her illness.It’s gotten worse. How?Nothing else had changed. “You came upon me in the dark.”
Another growl. “I’ll always come upon you then.”
His bulge jerked and an unwanted jolt of pleasure surged through her.
“Always.”
