You have to trust me with more than just your body.

“What the actual fuck?” Seth groaned, sending death glares at Luciano. He didn’t bother to get rid of the clothing he was wearing, so there was no way he stopped to rush anything.

The Alpha eyed her with a sinister smirk plastered on his lips. Like a predator would watch over their prey seconds before the attack. But he didn’t attack - he kept watching her with that wild, raw spark dancing in his eyes. Whatever was going on in his mind, his actions confused Seth.

One moment Luciano was sucking the life out of her, but the next moment he just stood aside and stared like a creep.

“Yep, that’s my point.” Luciano chuckled.

Seth didn’t care why he decided to get away from her or what his point was - the actions were unfair. He compared her to a Goddess just minutes ago, and now he didn’t do anything to stand by his words. How could a man do such a vile thing? Taking her home without her consent, leading her on, and right when Seth was ready to jump on him - Luciano refused her.

“You have no point at all! I mean, what the actual fuck are you doing? You know what?” Seth threw her hands in the air, struggling to get off of the sofa. Her knees trembled, yet she ignored it and quickly stood in front of Luciano, forcefully poking his chest. “I’m done. I won’t play your stupid games. My point this, my point that! Fuck you, Luciano!” Seth shouted right to his face.

Perhaps she intended to piss him off - to push him over the edge the same way as he did to her. She didn’t expect the sly grin that slowly crept on his lips, nor did she expect him to grab her and throw over his shoulder once again. What was with this man and his barbaric cavemen’s attitude?

The Alpha kept acting as if he had a claim over her - appearing whenever he wanted, doing whatever he desired. “Luciano, you asshole, let go of me! I told you that I wouldn’t play any more of your damn mind games! Release me, you stupid, sexy beast!” Seth tried to bang her fists against his back, but he acted as unfazed as ever.

“Oh, so you admit that I’m sexy?” Luciano chuckled as neared the stairway, slowly making his way upstairs.

As he carried her, Seth noticed how exceedingly large the house was, wondering how important the Alpha might be for the Council to provide him with such housing. Luciano carried her through a long hallway, passing many luxurious-looking doors. For a moment, Seth wondered what might be behind those and if she would ever get a chance to explore the building independently.

Luciano stopped in front of a vast door, the only one with the doorway high enough for him to enter without bending down. Her heart skipped a beat when he unlocked the key and stepped inside - her senses were instantly overtaken by the intense amount of his scent.

It was his bedroom, the room Seth never thought of stepping her foot inside. She hated the silence, despised him for keeping ideas and plans from her. If Luciano didn’t speak up soon, she would start thinking that he kept her around like another toy of his.

Luciano locked his bedroom door, acting paranoid- as if he wasn’t the only person living there, trying to have as much privacy as possible. He walked towards the King size bed and carefully laid her down. Luciano was too gentle, acting as if Seth was glass in his hands, terrified to break her.

Perhaps he didn’t understand that she wasn’t as easy to injure or split in half as he thought she might be. Seth bit her lip, patiently watching his slow movements, hiding the excitement growing in her.

His mysterious personality somehow managed to take her breath away - she wouldn’t show off how much she enjoyed the unknown. Their eyes locked, even though his body kept moving, Seth froze on the spot. It didn’t matter what Luciano did for as long as she lost herself in the depths of his deep-green orbs.

Seth finally got back to her senses when a satisfied smile crept on Luciano’s lips. She looked around, gasping at the view. He straddled her, her hands… The sneaky asshole had managed to tie her to his bed.

Seth tried to thug on the ropes, but none would move - she became utterly dependent on him. If Luciano would be merciful enough; perhaps, she would get out of his bed before the sunrise. Then again, Seth had no idea what was happening in that sick mind of his.

“What are you doing?” She snarled the question. Her voice was low and calm, yet even an idiot could sense the hidden warning in her words.

In Luciano’s eyes, Seth was the calm before the storm - truly unpredictable, wild, yet breathtaking. If she had been a she-wolf, the Alpha would have claimed her as his without a second thought as soon as they met.

Back then, when he was sure that Seth was a human, he had to think of something before approaching her. It was difficult enough and became more dangerous as soon as he found out that she was a cat shifter. He wasn’t supposed to do the things he was doing; Luciano wasn’t supposed to want her in the first place.

“I want to play a game. You don’t seem eager to play, especially while you have even the slightest bit of power over the situation. With hands and legs tied down - you can’t rush, force, or stop things whenever you want to. Kitten, I’m in control; it’s about the time for you to understand and accept as much. And if you can’t - I have to prove you wrong, don’t I? Now, let me explain what is about to happen from here. You will be a good girl and come up with a safe word; I’ll give you one if you can’t think of any. If you feel uncomfortable or if I cross any line of your limits - you yell it out, and I will stop. I want to test your limits. But for that, you have to trust me with more than just your body.” Luciano cupped her cheek, reassuring Seth that he wouldn’t hurt her.

He held a piece of fabric in his right hand, but she ignored that, wondering how far he could go. “I don’t know, you decide,” she whispered, her voice suddenly becoming hoarse and throat as dry as the desert.

Seth knew that Luciano was in control from the very beginning, but that didn’t mean that the thought of challenging his dominance didn’t excite her. Whenever he was around, Seth forgot her intense hatred towards Alphas - perhaps, one day, she could erase it for good.

“Yellow, if you want me to slow down. Red if I have to stop.” The words left his lips as if it was the most natural thing to say.

Seth took a deep breath and turned her attention to his hand, eyeing the fabric. If Luciano clung on it, there had to be a reason why he did. “Close your eyes, kitten,” he smiled, gently giving her the first command.

From here, he wouldn’t speak much, his actions were supposed to mean more than words, but Seth had to do this one thing. She gulped loudly and nodded her head, closing her eyes and trying her best to trust him.

She had no reason to trust Luciano in the first place - they met just days ago. The Alpha might be a serial killer for all she knew. She felt how he leaned a little closer, covering her eyes with silk fabric. At least he didn’t plan to strangle her - he held a simple fabric blindfold in his hand.

Her heartbeat slowed down. At some point, Seth felt how her body relaxed under his. No more doubts or fear - if Luciano planned to harm her in any way, he would have done that hours and days ago.

“Now, about the game,” the Alpha chuckled, climbing off of her body. Seth shivered, instantly missing the contact and closeness they shared.

“I told you that I would love to tease, but that doesn’t seem like something you would enjoy. And we’re all about enjoyable, pleasurable, and unforgettable experiences, right? So, we are going to play a game of power and sensations. I won’t untie any of those ropes until you scream red. I won’t untie them even if you beg me to. Remember, I’m the one in control, and since I intentionally brought this helpless state upon you - the power stays in my hands, kitten. All you have to do is to relax and enjoy the things that are to happen. And, of course, don’t use safewords unless needed. I would hate to stop all of this fun because of one mistreated word. Please, don’t be scared; I won’t do anything to hurt you unless you ask me to. I won’t break you unless you deserve to be broken.”

The calmness in his voice helped Seth to relax. Luciano spoke quietly, yet his words were loud, clear and enough to understand without asking to be repeated. It was a new side of him - not as loud, flashy, or cocky as Seth knew him so far.

Alpha’s weren’t calm by nature, so she did appreciate his effort greatly. Technically, Luciano could do whatever he wanted - she was in his territory, under his roof, and in his bed, so he held power over her even without tying her down.

But what surprised her the most was that he didn’t abuse his power, he tried to be gentle and avoid rushing anything, and for that, Seth was beyond grateful. Who knows, he might show her a new side of herself.

For a little while, the room fell quiet; all Seth could hear was her rapid breathing - despite his calmness, she still felt excited, yet scared at the same time. Feeling fear of the unknown was a common thing; none of both were surprised by her reaction.

Luciano understood that he had to prove himself before Seth could fully trust him, but her submissive behavior as far was a step forward already. She gasped in surprise, her back arching on instinct as Luciano leaned to her collarbone and blew at her burning skin.

She was eager to find out what he might do, and his attempt to keep a certain distance between their bodies disturbed her. Instead of voicing her thoughts, Seth bit onto her lower lip to keep quiet.

Soon, she felt how his hot breath lingered over her sensitive skin, yet he didn’t touch her. It was like the most pleasurable and torturous experience at the same time. No other man had ever taken his time with Seth, especially in such a weird, yet intimate way.

She was completely under his control - Luciano could fuck her raw for as long as she didn’t use the safe word, but he had a plan of his own. When she felt the distance between their bodies increasing again, Seth whimpered. She lusted for his touch, for the feeling of his hands greedily exploring her curves.

Seth could hear only her own breathing, gasps and whimpers echoing against the walls. Whatever Luciano did, he didn’t speak, didn’t explain what would happen to her next, and even his movements were silent. The next moment, something cold landed on her belly, nearly making her hiss.

Luciano slowly slid the ice cube over her skin, taking his sweet time, avoiding her breasts, swollen nipples, and dripping pussy. Seth cried out, wishing he would do as much as press his lips against her skin, but Luciano didn’t grant the wish. He wouldn’t even if she tried to beg him.

He kept adding ice cubes one after another, and soon covered her skin in a thin layer of water. Even though her body trembled, Seth felt how the burning sensation of need kept growing in her. She might be cold on the outside while her thoughts and instincts ran wild, setting her world on fire.

If Luciano wouldn’t do anything besides teasing her senses - Seth would show him what a real chaos meant. He took way too much of his sweet time, avoiding the body parts she wanted to be touched the most.

Another cry let her lips, this time full of surprise, followed by a slight hiss of unexpected pain. Something hot dripped on her skin, leaving a slight burning and tingling sensation wherever it landed. Her breathing fastened - whatever he was doing, it hurt her at first, but soon enough, the uncomfortable feeling grew into a weird kind of pleasure.

“You know,” Luciano muttered under his breath.

Seth couldn’t focus on his words - whatever he had to say wouldn’t be as important as the things she felt. Everything happening was something new; a door opened to a brand new world of sensations she didn’t know existed.

“I didn’t intend to bring you to my bed, despite how much I or my beast wanted that to happen. Well, everything happens for a reason, I guess. It would be best if you weren’t here; I shouldn’t do the things I am doing now, I shouldn’t have the thoughts I am having right now, and I definitely shouldn’t let this get out of hand. We’re supposed to be enemies, but I can’t fucking stop whenever you’re around. I want to fuck you whenever my eyes land on you; I keep craving the taste of you even when I just had it. I want to love you, tear into your soul, and leave a part of myself there.”

He took a breath and continued. “At times, I feel like I should claim you to keep everyone away from you even when I know that I can’t. I want to break you, hurt you, and protect you at the same time. I want everything you can offer and give back even more. I want to feel you around at all times, even if it meant going against those of my own,” his voice became lower with each word.

By the time when he was halfway to sharing his thoughts - Luciano’s voice was barely audible, and since Seth kept panting for breath, she didn’t hear most of his words.

She kept waiting for the moment when Luciano would touch her. The things he did made her feel both excited and exhausted at the same time.

There wasn’t much - a little game with cold and hot, yet for some reason, her body felt as if she had no energy at all. Seth licked her lips, waiting for the moment when she could speak up.

“Luciano, please,” she moaned out, desperately clawing on the ropes tied around her wrists.

“Please, what, kitten?” The Alpha chuckled in amusement.

He didn’t expect her to start begging as fast as she did. If anything, Luciano knew that Seth wouldn’t be much into his games, but the overwhelming scent of her arousal would beg to differ.

He loved it when she resisted his advantages, but apparently, she managed to show him a new weakness he never knew he had. Luciano’s weakness was her begging him to touch her.

“Stop, I want to feel you. The teasing is killing me,” Seth cried out.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want her. The whole situation was as challenging for Luciano as if it was for Seth, but he intended his actions. He tried to make her want him - not only while they had physical contact, but all of the time.

Luciano wanted to be on her mind whenever she tried to sleep or as soon as she woke up. For that - he had to refuse himself from touching her and take that very extra away from her.

The Alpha hoped that his plan would work before he broke down himself. Not every man loved walking around horny, dying of blue balls.

He could fuck any other woman; the only problem was that there was only one Luciano wanted. Since that night, when he first got a taste of her - she was the only woman he wanted to sleep with.

“That is not how this works, kitten,” Luciano simply replied.

Despite her desperate attempts to break free, he admired her wild beauty. He loved hearing her moans and cries of despair, so he made sure that they didn’t have any skin to skin contact for the whole time while she was tied down. Every action of his was suspenseful and thought over - bringing a whole new kind of pleasure.

Luciano had succeeded; Seth kept begging for him to touch her, to feel his lips all over her skin, and him deep inside her. The more she begged, the more it turned him on, but tonight, Luciano wouldn’t give her anything. Seth wouldn’t get even a little of all those things she begged and demanded.

Once she felt the distance between their bodies increasing again, Seth cried out. “Where are you going now? Stop playing your games; this is not funny anymore. I know that you want me as much as I want you, don’t leave me hanging!”

“You must be tired. Get some rest, goodnight.” Luciano sounded way too cheerful for a man that didn’t get into someone’s pants. He kept claiming that he wanted Seth but refused to sleep with her. What was wrong with that man?

Seth heard how he unlocked the door and left, leaving her tied to his bed - completely naked, her body covered in wax. She shivered, fearing that he wouldn’t come back soon enough. Despite the anger she felt towards him; there was one thing about what Luciano was right - she was tired.

Seth didn’t bother to wait for him to come back or untie her. She tried to calm down her raging thoughts, avoid planning his death, and get some rest. Seth completely forgot that she was supposed to start the new job the next day, and at this point, she didn’t care.

Without any regrets, she fell asleep on the bed that belonged to an Alpha.
