Making Promises She Doesn't Want To Make
“Everything,” he answered as he reached out to touch my face. “I just want you to be a good girl so Kraven doesn’t have to hurt you. Why can’t you just be a good girl? Don’t you love me?”
I turned my face away from him. “I did. Before you went feral. But I don’t think that’s the question you should be asking.”
His grip tightened on my chin, forcing me to look back at him, and I held my breath when I saw Kraven angrily watching me. “And what the fuck do you think I should be asking?” He growled, sending an involuntary shiver down my back.
“You should be asking why you didn't love me?” I replied, refusing to back down.
I had made a promise to Mother Annaria to survive long enough to give birth to my daughter. And I was going to honor that promise. I just needed him to take me to the cabin so that I could hurry up and die. She had promised to stop preventing my death, and I prayed that she would honor her promise just like I was going to honor mine. When his hand shifted from my chin to my throat to squeeze tightly, I reached up to tug at his hands.
“Kraven, please,” I begged. “Please!”
He smirked down at me, his hand tightening even more. “I do love you!” He sneered. “And my love is the only thing keeping you alive! I will always love you, Banannie! Even if I have to beat you everyday for the rest of your life. You will eventually accept me, and when you do, I will only beat you once a week to keep you in line.”
“And if I accept you now, are you willing to make a deal with me?” I asked.
He narrowed his eyes on me. “What kind of deal?”
I pulled at his hands again, making him frown at me as he loosened his grip. “Go on.”
“If I accept you right now without hesitation, you have to swear to never hit me when I’m pregnant,” I said hurriedly.
He narrowed his eyes on me as he released my throat. “I want you to submit to me.”
I pushed myself up so I could lean back against the headboard. “Submit to you how?”
“In every way. I want to be your mate, lover, and alpha,” he told me smugly.
I glanced over his shoulder when I saw vines start to creep out. I knew without a doubt they would come to my aide now that I agreed to survive until my daughter was born.
“If I agree to submit to you, will you leave our daughter alone when she’s born?” I asked.
He narrowed his eyes even more on me. “I will agree on one condition.”
“What condition is that?” I asked, my voice trembling.
“That she’s actually mine,” he said. “If she’s not, you should tell me now. This is going to be your only chance.”
“I don’t need a chance, Gerald. There is nothing to ‘confess.’ She’s yours. And if you want me to willingly be yours too, then you will swear to me that she will come to no harm.”
“I will agree, but the moment you break your side of the deal, I will not even hesitate to consume that child you’re carrying. Do you understand me?” He growled.
I stared at him for a few moments as I debated my options before nodding. I had to protect my daughter. I had to get us to that cabin. If that’s where Mother Annaria wanted me to be, then there was a reason.
“I do.” I glanced around the cabin. “But I don’t want to stay here. I want to start fresh.”
He nodded. “We will leave after you eat,” he said, smirking as he held out a rabbit to me.
I reached for it hesitantly, but before I could take it from him, he moved it out of my reach. I sat back against the headboard with my arms folded across my chest.
“I thought you wanted me to eat so we could eat,” I told him.
“There’s something I want more than for you to eat,” he said.
“What’s that?” I asked a little fearfully.
He smirked at me as he got up to cross the room, still holding the rabbit by its ears, which allowed its blood to drip down onto the floor. He met my eyes as he shoved his shorts down with one hand. He fisted his cock in one hand, stroking it slowly before moving the rabbit over a few inches so its blood dripped onto his shaft.
“I want you to prove your submissiveness. Crawl to me, Annie. Show me that you can be obedient,” he ordered with a smirk on his face.
I swallowed hard as I stared at him in disgust. Of course he would want me to crawl to him. He wasn’t the same boy that I once fancied myself to be in love with. That boy would have never asked me to sink such levels, but if it meant having to play the part to protect my daughter long enough to be able to get to the next cabin. Hopefully it wouldn’t take us long to get there.
“What’s it going to be, Annie?” He taunted. “Are you going to crawl to me or are you going to break our deal so soon?”
I swallowed back an angry retort as I slid off the bed and onto the floor, where I started to crawl slowly over to Gerald. With each forward movement I made, doubt filled my head. Was this really the best choice to make? Was I going to be swallowed alive again by the dark hole that was known as Gerald? Would I become so lost in it that I forgot about my end goal? I stopped in front of him, sitting back on my heels as I tipped my head back to look up at him.
“Open your mouth, Annaria,” he ordered as he tapped his cock on my face.
I clenched my jaw for a moment before opening my mouth. As he shoved his cock into my mouth, I closed my eyes to keep the tears in them and not leaking down my face. Who was I kidding? I was never going to fall back into the trap that was Gerald. I would never love him again. He wasn’t Logan.
