Let's play, kitten!

**Ivery Clark POV**

"But what a shame....I like fragile things like you a lot."

My breathing came out too shallow, my heart slamming against my chest as if it could escape the hold he had on me.

Alrigo Valerie King is more terrifying than the image he shows to the outside world. He was something darker, something that made my insides coil in fear and desire at the same time. Like I was drawn to the abyss, knowing full well that if I gave in, there'd be no way back.

"You're a virgin aren't you, baby girl. I knew from our first encounter at the airport....a sloppy innocent kitten, who had no clue what she was doing, who showed she had never been hold by a man."

My face flushed, heat spreading over my body.

" I couldn't belive when the slave trader announced you, confirming it. So pure and untouched. Exclusively mine to touch, mine to fuck." Arigo hissed darkly, making my walls clench and ripple.

He was invading my personal space, leaving no room for the distance between us.

The grip of my towel has loosened its grip due to the commotion, revealing my breasts to him. But miraculously the towel fastened around my middle.

I flush red, my nipples harden like a pebble as the cold air hits it. My breath becomes short as his dark eyes travel over my breasts.

The weight of his gaze made my skin prickle, as if his eyes alone could fuck me bare.

I feel like the temperature around me has increased to several degrees.

I tried to control my breath, but it was no use. I can't seem to think straight when he's present.

I could still feel that electric pulse, like a current running under my skin, tying me to him.

Alrigo cups my breasts with one of his hands. I bite my lips, trying to swallow the moan that is trying to escape.

I try to struggle, but that only makes my breasts bounce.

"Are you putting on a show for me, sweetheart ?"

"Fuck you, pervert." I hissed at him but I jolt, a zap of current shooting straight between my legs as he twisted my nipple.

*Oh god !*

His thumb brushes the tip of my hard nipple making my eyes roll back. I could feel the imprint of his touch, lingering on my skin like a brand.

It wasn't just his hand that burned me, it was everything about him.

"Be careful. As much as I love your defiance, I hope you don't open your foul mouth to disrespect me, ma bella. I'm not a very patient person."

There was a threat in his tone and I knew he meant each and every word of it. I feel like hyperventilating now.

"Is that clear ?" He pinches the tip again making my back arch, like my body has all its common sense and only listening to his ministrations.

Fuck, nobody has touched me like this before. I never had my breasts feel so heavy and ache this much, his touch is so soft and yet so painful.

"Look at you I have barely touched you and you're already quivering like a leaf, Ivery." Alrigo rasped in a deep, husky tone that breathing comes out ragged.

I tried to tell myself this was just another game of his-control, power, manipulation. But my skin betrayed me. Every inch of me tingled where he touched, my body arching ever so slightly toward him, as if it had a will of its own.

I thought I was strong. I thought I was unbreakable. But the harsh truth washed over me, making me realise how weak I was.

How vulnerable I was compared to him. If Alrigo wants, he could crush me but he chose to keep me at his mercy.

I hate being so powerless.

"Is this how you get off on me ? By tormenting me ?" I scowled at him, boiling with rage. I didn't want to cry in front of him. I rather die than showing him my weakness.

Alrigo watched me with interest. With unhinged, indisposable interest that draws chill deep within your spine.

"You think I'm tormenting you ?" My heart pounds in danger as he said in a deep, masculine voice.

"Trust me, you've seen nothing yet, ma bella. Nothing yet..." No matter how much I tried to ignore those words, they evoke deep fear in me.

Being a slave to this man was going to test my strength and my sanity.

Alrigo twists my nipple again bringing me back from my stupor. With each brush of his skin against mine, my body violently shivered, reacting to his very touch.

My skin burned under his fingers, and I hated how much I craved more, hated the way my pulse quickened with every flick of my nipple.

"You have no idea how much I waited for this moment, waited for you ma, bella." He leaned in to kiss me but looked away.

Alrigo gripped my jaw pulling my face back to him with a bruising grip that I almost hissed in pain.

"Look at you. Why are you acting like you didn't voluntarily throw yourself on my arms that day in the airport ?" My cheeks heat as he spoke.

My whole body is heating up and I can't seem to erase those scenes in the airport, it's deeply ingrained in my very bone marrow.

"How you rubbed your p*ssy against my crotch. Are you wet just like how you were at the airport, ma bella ?" Alrigo's finger leaves my nipple and sneaks towards my hips.

I clenched my jaw, refusing, my heart thudding so loud I was sure he could hear it. If I looked at him, I'd lose. I knew it. But my resolve was crumbling, piece by piece.

I drew in a shuddered breath trying to level my tone, "No..."

"So you're telling me if I plunge into your tight cunt, you won't strangle and soak my fingers ? Hmm ?" Alrigo's hand invades inside the towel, settling between my legs.

*Holy. Shit.!*

His touch sent a rush of heat straight to my core. It was maddening, this pull. How could I hate him and still want him at the same time ?

Alrigo rubs his thumb against my inner thighs, up and down in a circular motion driving me crazy.

His hand was dangerously close to my pussy. He didn't move further, but the threat was there, in the way his hand lingered. I was on the verge of falling apart, and he knew it.

Even if I tried to close my legs, he slaps my thighs hard apart.

"Don't ignore the fact you want me, ma bella. You enjoyed kissing me, you enjoyed everything I did to you at the airport." Alrigo draws circles dangerously close to my sensitive flesh.

I feel like a mess right now, many emotions swirling in my head. I couldn't believe I was getting affected by his dirty talk, his touch.

"Don't deny what you have for me, Ivery." My pulse thunders in my ears as I meet his golden hazel eyes.

I hate how good he looks right now, how the tone of his body is glistening after the shower effect, making him look like a Greek sex god.

*No, get your grip Ivery... !*

"That day, it was a mistake. If I was in my right mind I wouldn't have even thought of lunging on a monster like you in the first place." I said in an indifferent tone, looking at him with cold eyes.

Wrong, maybe I would still have.

Because he was the most handsome man I had ever seen in my life. But he doesn't have to know.

Alrigo paused his ministrations, like he was taken aback. My throat closed up as his eyes darkened into something deranged and frightening.

"Mistake.. ?" Alrigo's jaw muscle twitches in anger, his demeanour changing with a murderous intent, rattling my bones.

His strong hand wraps around my throat that I gasp at the violent impact. I think he'll break it.

"Alrigo..." I tap my hands around his finger that choke holds me. Surprisingly he loosens his grip but his hold is still there.

"You're a proud thing, aren't you Ivery ?" Alrigo hissed malevolently pulling me so close to his lips that we breathe the same air.

"You're like a wild stallion that no one can saddle. You could have just obeyed me and got your way with it, but you had to open the fucking mouth of yours." He hissed in a low, demented tone that dread washed over me.

"I'm going crush that confidence of yours. I'm going to crush and watch you disintegrate into pieces, ma bella. And trust me, I'm going to enjoy every second of it."

His words alone are choking me and digging my grave.

How come a human being is so composed and dangerous at the same time ?

He released me and took a step back.

"You should be fucking grateful I took a pity on you and pulled you out from that slave auction. And I hope you loose that fucking attitude of yours sooner." His voice comes out monotone and scary.

"I'm not your lover to entertain your tantrums, little girl....I'm your master, and you are my pet. My sole property."

*His sole property...*

Even though he spoke nonchalantly, his words were like a cannon in my head, exploding and tearing me apart mercilessly.

My shoulder slump when I watch him leave.

Why did I expect he had some empathy in him ? Alrigo was a monster just like the others.

He promises to hurt me, he promises to ruin me and I believe this man was as cruel as he was rumoured.

He'll be the end of me.
