A/N: After a LOT of editing, here is chapter 5! Thank you all for the support given for this story. I appreciate every rating and comment, good or bad as long as it is respectful. I take every suggestion into consideration and a few have even altered the direction of the story. Thank you for that. Also, please forgive the long wait between chapters. In complete honesty, my husband and I have just discovered that I am pregnant with our 4th child and our house has been crazy with excitement and disbelief as this was not planned at all, lol! So, I kindly ask for patience as we adjust as I've been hit with some bad sickness and complete exhaustion while also trying to wrangle/homeschool our other 3 kiddos. I appreciate your patience, honesty and support! I hope you enjoy this chapter!
Chapter Five
Consciousness slowly started to seep back into AJ's mind and body. The first thing she noticed was that she was cold and laying on something hard. The next thing she noticed was her hands were bound together with something metal. When she finally opened her eyes, she couldn't see in the darkness. AJ tried wiggling her wrists only to discover that she wasn't just bound but she was also attached to a chain.
As she tried to sit up, AJ was suddenly blinded by light and flinched as she tightly closed her eyes again. With a groan, she slowly adjusted and looked around. She was startled to find that she was completely naked and laying on the floor. Her heart was pounding and she began to breathe heavily, feeling like she was going to have a panic attack. After a moment, she looked up to see Leon standing by the door to whatever room she was in, leaning against the wall with his arms crossed. His shirt was un-tucked, the first few buttons were undone and his sleeves were rolled up. AJ caught a glimpse of a bandage on his left forearm and she can only guess that that was where she had bitten him.
AJ's eyes traveled to his face and for the first time, she could see just a hint of anger behind his naturally heated gaze. His body was calm but his eyes showed the truth. Wordlessly, he uncrossed his arms and smacked a button mounted on the wall. Suddenly, the chain began to quickly reel back and AJ screamed in shock as it yanked her roughly off the ground so she was standing and her arms were pulled above her head. She took in a few rapid breaths, looking at Leon fearfully. Aside from pushing the magic button, he hadn't moved.
AJ began to move her eyes, looking around the room. At first, it appeared to be a normal room. Light gray walls, hardwood floor, standard light on the ceiling. It looked like a normal bedroom aside from the chain she was hanging from. There was also a rack to her right, against one of the walls that held what AJ recognized as floggers, a wooden paddle, a couple leather belts and a few crops. She couldn't see it but behind her there was a plush, fabric couch with a heavy blanket draped over it, pushed against the back wall.
To her left, there was a St. Andrews Cross and a few bondage instruments such as cuffs, blindfolds, ball gags and few others she didn't recognize mounted on the wall. Seeing all this stuff actually made her fear for her life. She had no idea where she was, locked in a room with a man who seemed to want to cause her nothing but harm. Movement caught her eye and she looked to see Leon walking towards her. AJ shook her head rapidly in fear.
"Leon, please..." She started but he interrupted by lifting his hands and cupping her face in them. AJ flinched at first but then looked at him, a little surprised.
"Do you remember the warning I gave you when we were in the car?" He asked and AJ just blinked. "How you wouldn't like the punishment waiting for you if you tried to run?" AJ's heart began to pound in her chest and she licked her dry lips before she could answer.
"Yes, I remember..." She whispered, her voice cracking just a little. Leon's fierce look turned into one of slight amusement as he offered AJ a smile that made her shiver.
"I lied," He said. AJ's eyes widened as Leon leaned forward and planted his lips against her forehead. The heat from his lips seemed to match the heat in his eyes and AJ could feel her body become covered in goosebumps. "I'm going to make you crave me," He whispered, his lips still pressed to her head and AJ visibly trembled. "I'm going to make it so you never even want to think about running away ever again." He added, pulling away from her and AJ closed her eyes tightly, feeling them well up with tears. She was so confused. "How many boyfriends have you ever had, Aiden?" Leon asked and AJ opened her watery eyes to look up at him, almost silently pleading.
"I've never had a boyfriend before. Not a serious one, anyway..." She answered honestly and the smile that appeared across Leon's face made her wish that she lied.
"Perfect," He said, his voice barely above a whisper as he slowly leaned forward and pressed his lips to hers, almost sensually. It was such a soft, yet firm kiss, almost possessive. AJ's eyes widened at first and could only think about how soft and warm his lips were. She could feel herself relaxing against them and wanting to kiss him back but immediately began to fight against that feeling. AJ began to thrash and kick, screaming against his mouth until he released her. Seeing the satisfied look on Leon's face finally encouraged her anger to come out.
"What do you think you are doing?!" She screeched and Leon smirked as he let his hands travel down from her face, to her shoulders. AJ took in some quick, raspy breaths, very aware of Leon's hands on her.
"I think I'm going to make you feel like you've never felt before," He answered cryptically and AJ began to squirm against his touch. "After tonight, you'll be begging for me, craving me, fantasizing about me, wanting me," He said and AJ shook her head with a scoff.
"No, I'll never want anything to do with you, Leon!" She said and all he could do was chuckle. The only thing AJ could think about in that moment was breaking off of the chain holding her and booking it to freedom but she knew that wasn't going to happen. This new side of Leon was scary as she had no idea what he was about to do to her. His confidence in his effect on her made her angry but admittedly, made her curious and a little excited. AJ tried her best to ignore the latter feelings.
"Keep saying that, Aiden," He said as he kissed the corner of AJ's lips. "Repeat it over and over again and it might make you feel better as you begin to enjoy this." He added and AJ whimpered just a little. The last thing she wanted was Leon's hands on her but she could not help the shivers of excitement that shot up her spine in response to his words. And what was that tingling between her legs?
"Leon, please get away from me...I don't want this, I don't want you," AJ pleaded. "You said you'd never touch me unless I wanted you to." She added as a last ditch effort and Leon smirked again, rubbing his hands up and down the undersides of her raised arms.
"Yes, I did say that and then you disobeyed me. There are consequences to your actions, Aiden." Leon replied and AJ could feel her lip quiver in defeat. Leon responded by taking that lip between his and sucking on it softly. AJ gasped and tried to pull away but Leon placed a hand on the back of her head and pressed her even closer to him. AJ whimpered and closed her eyes as the lip sucking turned into another kiss and AJ kept her lips perfectly still. She didn't want to kiss him back but damn it if his lips weren't tempting. She could feel Leon's warm tongue running over her lips and for a moment, she thought he'd try to pry her lips apart but he didn't.
After a few very long feeling seconds, Leon pulled away achingly slowly. It was as if he were moving in slow motion. AJ took in a deep breath and opened her eyes to look at his smug face. She could feel her own turn red but she didn't know if it was from anger, bashfulness or embarrassment. He leaned and kissed her hot cheek before he began to pepper kisses down her neck until he reached the crook where her neck met her shoulder. It would've been easier if her arms weren't raised but Leon made it work and to AJ's surprise, made it feel amazing.
AJ knew pleading with him wouldn't work. She had many words on the tip of her tongue, ready to beg him to stop but she knew he wouldn't. He was purposely going slow, mindfully touching and kissing her in places he knew she'd enjoy, even if her mind was telling her snap out of it. She was stronger than this, stronger than his touch and kiss but in that moment, AJ felt so, so very weak. Did she even want him to stop?
He continued trailing his lips across her creamy flesh, just above the mounds of her breasts. AJ whimpered a little and continued her feeble squirming against the cursed chain. The heat radiating off of Leon's body was intoxicating, his lips made her knees buckle and his strong hands made her break out into goosebumps and she hated herself for loving it. She had never been touched like Leon was touching her and her body was reacting all on its own, against her very own mind.
