Chapter 3~
Whatever Briar had expected to be outside the tent, it certainly wasn't the lush vastness of the forest, nor the gentle sound of water lapping the sand beside that. Her eyes widened as she took in the beauty of the place, the foliage colours she would have never imagined could exist in the world.
Her bare feet took a few more steps toward the sand and the water, eyes narrowing as she tried to see some sort of end to what looked like an ocean beyond the sand. Were they on an island? How had he brought her here? Her feet stuttered along the ground as she walked, steps more than unsure. She drew in a breath and ran for the forest, only to have her breath knocked fully from her by a steel band wrapping around her chest. Gasping, she was yanked back against him and he murmured silkily in her ear, "Looking for something in particular?"
His teeth delicately traced the edge of her ear, tongue flicking against her skin languidly as she struggled against him.
"Let me go!"
"To go where? Through the trees and toward the animals who would rend you limb from limb? Or into the water where the mermaids could drag you to the bottom and suck your soul from those delicious lips of yours? No," He mused, his free hand roving shamelessly over her curves before plucking once more at her nipple, "I prefer you here."
The... what? He wasn't serious, was he? She had been captured by a lunatic. That was the only logical explanation and he had probably drugged her to... hallucinate. That was it. This was all a hallucination. Drawing a lungful of breath in, Briar screamed so loudly that all she heard a moment later was a ringing in her ears from the echo and then a soft chuckle in her ear, "Feel better?"
Her hand pressed to her throat, swallowing against the rasp her scream had left in its wake as she turned her face to glare over her shoulder. Help didn't seem to be arriving and she shifted in his arms, pulling at his grip to force him to let her go. He simply bent and threw her over his shoulder, that steel arm of his wrapping just above her knees so that her hips were placed on his shoulder and she hung with her hair trailing almost to the ground. Squirming didn't budge her an inch and he brought her back into the tent like shelter once more.
"Put me down!"
"As you wish." He dropped her onto the rugs, watching with amusement as she squealed and tried to catch the breath that rushed out when the floor met her back. Cocking his head, his tracking gaze watched her until she started to push herself up and then he pushed her back onto her stomach, settling his weight on her calves. Fingers tracked down her spine, "Push yourself up with your hands."
His response was an affronted noise before she tried to wiggle free, but a sharp slap to her satin clad bottom had her suddenly stilling before she glared once more over her shoulder, "Get off!"
"No." His voice was calm, but when she aimed a glare over her shoulder there was something glittering in his eyes that she certainly didn't like. His hands worked the hem of her nightgown up, slowly sliding it up her hips despite her protests until her rear was completely exposed, "Push yourself up with your hands."
A snarl answered him and this time the slap was hard enough to send tears stinging to her eyes. He didn't stop at one, methodically working over her smooth skin until it matched the pretty blush on her cheeks. She was crying into the rug beneath her by the time his hand stilled and caressed the throbbing flesh, massaging the sting as he leaned forward to press her completely to the floor beneath him, "When I ask you to do something, pet, I expect immediate obedience. Is that clear?"
A soft whimper answered him and he drew his fingers through her hair, knowing her obedience wouldn't last and relishing the future in which he could coax it from her once more. But for now...
"When I rise, you will push yourself up with your hands. You will arch your back and keep the form I choose to place you in. Do you understand?"
She nodded reluctantly and he retreated to sitting on her ankles once more, just in case she decided to squirm away. Lucky for her, she chose to follow instructions this time. Her hands flattened against the rugs, pushing herself up until her she was on her hands and knees, back arched slightly. Of course, it was difficult for her to do so with him pinning her legs but he forgave her for the lack of perfection. She would learn.
