“No, this is chemistry.”
“It feels divine.”
“Your body is divine.” His strong fingers hooked into talons as he scraped along my upper arms and over my sensitive armpits, along the sides of my ribs. I gasped from the burn, hypnotized by the red lines he’d made on my skin, his marks of possession. He climbed on top of me next, his hard cock slapping against my caged one with superiority, taunting me with its freedom to grow hard, to fuck.
“You are ruthless,” I said as I shifted my hips so that he might rub against me, desperate for any kind of friction, even though it was a double-edged sword, for every bit of arousal caused me more pain.
“Yes, I am,” he agreed as he tugged on both my nipples, stretching and squeezing them like gum drops. “I must have my metal here too.” He pulled more vanadium from his rod, shaping two small matching metal clips. He attached one to each nipple simultaneously, and the sudden bite had my hips bucking in response.
“I want to fuck,” I growled.
“I bet you do,” he said with a sadistic smile. “My stallion, you’d love for me to mount this lovely cock, wouldn’t you, Cedrych?”
“Yes, my lord. Please. You can still be in control. I won’t move a muscle.”
I could scarcely believe my own begging voice, but the payoff would be worth it. I needed something soft and warm around my cock, anything but this gods-damned metal.
“Not today, Cedrych. No, today, I’m going to fuck you. I’ve waited a long time for this pleasure and fantasized about it more times than I can count.”
“Then can you get rid of the cage?” I pleaded.
“Not yet, my prince. Tell me, has anyone been inside this perfect ass of yours before?”
My hole clenched around his plug. No one had been inside me in any way before Vasil. Surely he must know that already. “No one, my lord. Not their flesh, nor their magic, not their blood.”
He let out a low, deep rumble of satisfaction. “Why not?”
I swallowed and considered lying, but I knew Vasil would see right through me. “It didn’t feel right.”
“Explain.”
“I didn’t want to be in that position, not even with my ex. I never even undressed fully when we were alone or made love. My guards were always right outside. I couldn’t trust them not to report back to my mother or someone else. I didn’t want my bedsport to be fodder for the daily scrolls”
Vasil smoothed one hand down my sternum, a soothing gesture. “Everything we do here will be kept between us. You are free to explore all aspects of your sexuality, and I will keep your confidence, I promise.”
I nodded, trusting him fully. It helped in the way he touched me too, with such reverence, as if I were someone worthy of his tender affection. “Thank you, my lord.”
“But that doesn’t mean I’m going to be nice to you either,” he warned, then tugged on my nipple clamps. I grunted as pleasure warred with pain, painting a landscape of raw desire and need. The man before me was a beautiful monster, a sexual sorcerer, wringing such contradictory sensations from my body. I only prayed he could also be merciful. “I’m going to make it memorable for you,” he promised.
“We’ll see,” I teased, flashing him a grin.
“Brat,” he said with a smirk. Kneeling between my thighs, he then spread me like a plucked game hen. His gaze was no longeron my face but the cleft beneath my balls where my hole was slick and throbbing.
“You’re obscenely wet,” he said as his thumb swept the rim of the plug.
I squirmed under his intimate scrutiny and said tersely, “I have a neutralizing implant. You needn’t worry about any unwanted heirs.”
He paused to digest this bit of information. “They wouldn’t be unwanted, Cedrych, but perhaps it’s for the best. My urge to breed has never been this strong before.”
Nor mine,I thought but didn’t dare say it. Damn it all. I wasn’t going to get clingy now. Begging the lord to breed me? Absolutely not. Hard limit there. As if reading my mind, his lips curved slightly. “I cannot believe I was so cross with you mere moments ago, and now with you laid out like this, spoiling for a fuck, all I want is to indulge you.”
“I did save your life,” I said tactfully.
“One good deed doesn’t negate the bad,” he said, giving me no quarter.
“Then is punishment still on the menu?”
“Absolutely.” He toyed with one nipple, hardly touching me anywhere else, and said musingly, “It’s easy to obey when you’re strapped down, caged, and aching for release, isn’t it Cedrych?”
