I know him.
I've known him forever. The moment I gained awareness, he was there, swirling around in my thoughts. When I spoke, his voice answered me. He cherished me, he taught me, he pampered me in every way he could think of. Poured his power into me, gave me things, trinkets and clothes, anything I asked he would find a way to give.
Everything except my life. I was a full grown woman who had been nothing except pampered, I was lovely and beloved and beautiful, and I was sought after. I fell in love with another, I lay with him, when my heart couldn't stand refusal any longer, and the other's rage was great. I felt it, cold and hateful, so different from the fire my love gave unto me.
I feared revenge, though. I knew it would come eventually.
Time passed. I began to suspect he'd found another victim. Perhaps he had not forgiven me, but simply lost interest. I was only one out of many, after all. I was in no way unique.
But I was wrong. He came to me one day when my love wasn't there. I could feel his touch slithering up one leg as I lay on the bed, still dozing. That was new. While he had occasionally made his presence known to me by touch, it had never been so...intimate.
"Dejainel?" I asked, softly. The caress turned to pain, claws digging into my thigh and I screamed, but another hand covered my mouth and pulled me back against a cold body. I couldn't see anything. I have never set eyes on him. He caught my wrists and held them above my hand, but I noticed they were not held by something that felt like a human hand. More like...claws. Talons.
I struggled to speak, but then felt his tongue lick me, from my shoulder all the way up my throat. It was long and slime dripped down my body where it had been, and I shuddered.
[You do not enjoy my touch any longer?] He asked.
"I do not belong to you!" His hand moved enough for me to speak. "I'm with him now..."
[I have no care for him.] To my horror, as he spoke I could feel something slithering across the skin of my buttocks. I let out a yelp and jerked. He laughed, the sound skimming over my flesh.
"What-?" But he didn't let me finish. My hands parted, held out at my shoulders instead of together above me, and he forced me to my knees on the bed. A strip of fabric covered my eyes and then I could see nothing, but I could still feel him; holding my hands out, the thing working its way across my backside, his little kisses on the back on my neck.
I decided to try once more to speak to him. We had been beloved to each other once; he may remember and still end this.
"Dej-"
[You will not speak my name.] He said, and I felt fingers force their way into my mouth, holding my tongue down. I writhed, but I was no match for his strength. [You betrayed me. You promised me you would give yourself to me, and only me, and be mine forever, and then you lay with him. I will never forgive you.] His words were spoken with a quiet certainty, no hate in them now.
I wanted to scream, argue, plead. I made that promise when I knew nothing of the world but him. I swore to him when he was all I had ever encountered, ever thought to be. He had tricked me into thinking of him as my everything, and stolen it all away from me before I even knew what it was I had. How could he feel as if I betrayed him?
The thing on my butt slimed its way into my underwear. I thrashed, but his hold was absolute. He took his fingers out of my mouth and I felt the magic surrounding us. I could scream until my throat ripped itself to shreds; no one outside this room would hear my screams. I knew his magic well.
"You're going to...?" I couldn't even say the terrible word, but I could feel his intentions clearly.
[I am.] He confirmed, and the thing touched my clitoris. I scoffed. I was not so easily swayed. He could abuse me for as long as he liked, I would not call out to him.
I was not some damsel, reduced to a blushing puddle with only a touch. If he thought that was how the night would go, he'd be disappointed by the end of it.
But to my surprise, he did not violate me immediately, as I assumed he would. One of his hands groped for my breast, the other slipped down to join the...there was no other word for it. A tentacle was creeping around my body.
He slipped his finger into me as the thing coiled around my clit. His hand on my breast squeezed briefly, then his fingers found my nipple. Instead of grabbing for it, as I thought he would, he began to let his finger graze over the sensitive skin around it. With his fingers moving slowly and the tentacle touching everything but my clit, I felt anger well up within me. This wasn't fair! There was force, yes, but the talons holding my hands were they were had a gentle touch...only being tight enough I could not pull away. It would be better if he simply took me, ravaged me, because then I couldn't feel so...so hot.
"Fuck me, if you're going to." I spit out. He laughed.
