Chapter 17 Chapter 17
Sloane
The first slap of his giant palm against my almost naked ass came as a shock. A ripple of pain that had me jerking over his knee like a wild cat. I cried out, desperately trying to reach behind me so I could pull my dress down and cover myself.
This wasn’t lady like, it wasn’t right.
His hand came down again , harder. The sting of the blow radiating up my spine. Again I tried to reach behind me. My throat was full of tears so I couldn’t even tell him to stop.
His free hand caught my wrists and held them against my back.
“Stop.” He growled, and there was no fighting the command in his voice. I wasn’t a voice but my body instantly stilled like I was one. He chuckled low in his throat or maybe it was a completely different sound. One that was more appreciative than mocking.
I blushed, happy that my hair had fallen over my face so he didn’t see. He had his eyes on my ass after all and that was bad enough, he didn’t need to see how that deep dark sound affected me.
“So submissive.” He crooned, this slap was softer but it still hurt. I bit my lip to stop myself from crying out. “So
Pretty.” Instead of spanking me again, his filled his palm with my ass cheek and kneaded. Rubbing the stinging pain away. “So beautiful.”
Slap and then rub, first one cheek and then the other and then both is quick succession.
And it hurt, tears fell from my eyes and dripped down my nose. Heat blossomed in my lower belly every time his fingers squeezed into my flesh.
It was pain and something else- something I couldn’t put my finger on.
“So soft.” Eirians voice turned huskier. More growl than anything else and I couldn’t help it. I trembled. “Hot and soft and willing.”
I gave a whimper at the sound of his voice because it sounded like he was losing himself in me. This wasn’t about punishment anymore, it was something so much more than that.
His hand came down again, in a startling painful slap and this time when he rubbed the pain away, it was almost as painful as the slap had been.
“You may get up now Sloane.”
Keeping my head low, I scrambled to my feet and smoothed my long skirts back down to cover my red and smarting ass.
“It is dangerous for me to touch you this close to the full moon, Sloane.” Eirians voice was soft and I glanced at him from beneath my hair. His face was unreadable but it looked like he was in pain.
That wasn’t right? I was the one who had just been spanked. Not him.
“Ok.” I said shakily and took a step back only to freeze into place when both of his hands came out and closed around my hips. He drew me forward, until I was straddling one of his legs.
“I didn’t say you could leave though.” He peered up through his lashes at me and smiled. “Your body is craving something.”
“I am a little hungry.” I admitted.
“And I will have another meal prepared for you but that’s not what I meant.” Sliding his hand beneath my hair, he bent me over him until our faces were just inches apart. “It’s something else your body craves, but you are too embarrassed to admit it.” Idly his thumb brushed over my bottom lip. “You don’t have to ask me Sloane, I am happy for you to take the pleasure you need from me.”
As if to prove his point , he forced me down against his thigh. Heat blossomed and I squirmed but that only made it worse. Because the more I moved to try and get away the better it felt.
“This is- wrong.” And it was but it felt so good. “Young ladies don’t do this.”
His eyes clashed with mine. “Do what? Take pleasure where it is offered?” He cocked his head to the side. “You humans and your funny little ways. Pleasure and sex is a very normal part of life. A very enjoyable part.”
“It’s wrong.” I stifled back a moan as my clit rubbed against his leg. “I would get into so much trouble.”
Eirians eyebrow shot upwards. “By who? There is just me and you here.” His hands began to move me over his knee, back and forth like I was riding a horse. “You enjoyed my hands on your ass Sloane, you can’t deny that because I could smell how wet you were.”
I hung my head in shame.
Because he was right I had enjoyed it. Just like I was enjoying this now and that made me a slut.
“You’re not in the village now Sloane. The rules are different here. No one is going to shun or judge you for this.”
“I’ll judge myself.” Snapping my head up I met his eyes. His were swirling vortexes of power that threatened to swallow me up.
“I can’t-“ I tried to lift myself from his lap and it wasn’t his hands that stopped me, it was my own body rebelling against my mind and what I knew was right. “It’s wrong.”
Only I kept moving my hips back and forth and the glorious pressure kept building.
“You aren’t doing anything wrong.” Eirian said again. His eyes glued to my face. “We are both fully dressed, I am not touching you, and I will not touch you.”
He had been touching me though. And that was the problem because the moment his hands were on my body I had wanted things I knew were wrong.
“Not until you want me to.” He smiled a small knowing smile, and my movements faltered and then stilled altogether.
“I can’t.”
A muscle in his throat ticked and the smile faded. “You can, your body knows what to do. Just keep rubbing yourself against me. I can smell how much you like it Sloane.” Reaching up he smoothed his fingers down my cheek. “If you give into it I’ll soon be able to feel how much you like it as well.”
Heat flushed my neck and then my entire face. “I can’t, I’m sorry.” I shuffled backwards, straightening my clothes as I went.
Eirian watched me go. Anger pinching his features. “Well that is disappointing. But we will train you out of these stupid laws and rules of purity. Soon you will be-“ he trailed off. “I will have another tray sent up. Sleep and wash up. I will have fresh clothes and things found for you so you aren’t surrounded by the relics of dead girls.”
Standing up he strode towards the door, without looking back.
I moved without thinking. Rushing after him to grab his wrist. “You’re angry with me?”
Half turning he stared down at me and then shook his head. “A little but I knew this was going to be the case when I took you.” Turning his hand in mine, he entwined our fingers and drew my hand to his lips. “I knew it wasn’t going to be easy. I was just hoping I could have to come to us before-“
A pit opened in my stomach. “Before what?”
“Rest now Sloane. Tomorrow is going to be a difficult day for you.” He walked away.
“More difficult than the last few?” I called out after him.
Because I couldn’t think of anything more difficult that being kidnapped by a wolf, and brought here to be some kind of saviour to brothers who had some unknown curse hanging over their heads which I was meant to break.
Eirian chuckled. “Yes.” He said softly and closed the door behind him with a thud.
