Chapter 12

~Natalie~

Lucien walked out of the elevator with me between his arms,our lips still locked. My vision was blurry as he kissed me till I was breathless and dizzy. It seemed like the world around me was tilting.

Lucien's tongue licked my teeth and found my tongue. We were moving together in an unexplainable rhythm.

He carried me into one of the rooms and flicked the switch on.

The room was dimly lit, the air thick with the scent of alcohol and something else, something dark and dangerous. My head spun as I stumbled inside, my vision blurry and unfocused. What had happened? Where was I?

Beside me, Lucien laughed, a deep, mocking sound that made my skin crawl. "Easy there, wife," he purred, his arm wrapping around my waist to steady me. "Wouldn't want you to fall and hurt yourself before the fun event starts."

I tried to push him away, but my limbs felt like jelly, uncooperative and weak. I couldn't remember how we'd ended up here, couldn't remember anything after that first sip of champagne that had tasted so bitter on my tongue.

But I could feel the heat of Lucien's body pressed against mine, could feel the way his fingers dug into my hip possessively. I knew what was coming, knew that there would be no escape from the monster I had married.

Lucien seemed to sense my thoughts, his lips curling into a cruel smirk. "Don't worry, sweetheart," he crooned, his breath hot against my ear. "I'll make sure you enjoy every second of it."

He backed me towards the bed, his hands roaming over my body with a familiarity that made my stomach turn. I tried to fight him, tried to twist out of his grip... but my movements were sluggish.

In a matter of moments, she found herself pinned beneath him, his weight pressing me into the mattress as he loomed over me with a predatory grin. "You're mine," he growled, his fingers finding the neckline of my gown and tearing it open with a sharp yank.

I gasped as cool air hit my skin, goosebumps rising in the wake of his touch. I could feel the heat of his gaze on my exposed breasts, could see the hunger in his eyes as they hovered over my body.

"Please," I whimpered, hating the way my voice trembled with fear and something else, something darker and more shameful. "Don't do this..."

But Lucien just laughed, his hands finding my hips and grinding his hardening length against my core. "Oh, I'm going to do more than that," he promised darkly. "I'm going to fuck you until you forget your own name. Until the only word you can remember is mine."

He captured my mouth in a brutal kiss before I could respond, his tongue plundering my depths with a ruthless insistence that made my head spin. I tried to turn her face away, but his fingers tangled in my hair, holding me in place as he ravaged my mouth.

It went on and on, a dizzying dance of lips and teeth and tongue until I was panting for breath, her body writhing beneath his with a mind of its own. I could feel the slick heat building between my thighs, could feel the traitorous ache of desire pulsing through my veins.

Lucien seemed to sense it too, his hand slipping beneath my gown to stroke along my inner thigh. Natalie shuddered at the touch, my legs falling open almost instinctively.

"Already so wet for me," he purred, his fingers dancing along the lacy edge of my panties. "You want this, don't you? Want me to fill this greedy little cunt and make you scream."

"N-no," I lied, even as my hips bucked up to meet his touch. I knew it was wrong, knew that giving in to him would only make things worse... but God help me, I couldn't make herself resist.

Lucien chuckled darkly, the sound sending a shiver down my spine. "Liar," he accused, his thumb pressing against my clit through the damp fabric of my underwear. "I can feel how much you need it."

He rolled his hips against mine, grinding his cloth-covered erection against my aching core. I moaned at the sensation, my head tipping back as pleasure sparked through my body.

"That's it," Lucien encouraged, his fingers pushing my panties aside to stroke along my bare flesh. "Let me hear you. Let everyone know who's making you feel this good."

I bit her lip hard enough to taste blood, determined not to give him the satisfaction of hearing me scream his name. But it was a losing battle, especially when he sank two fingers deep into my heat without warning.

I came with a ragged cry, my body convulsing around him as waves of ecstasy crashed over me. Lucien rode out my orgasm with ruthless skill, pumping his fingers in and out of me until I was boneless and spent.

Only then did he withdraw his hand, bringing his fingers to his mouth to lick them clean with a satisfied hum. "Delicious," he purred, his eyes glinting with dark promise. "I can't wait to taste the rest of you."

He hooked his fingers in my panties and ripped them away, baring me fully to his hungry gaze. I shuddered as his eyes hovered over my naked flesh, feeling both exposed and undeniably aroused by the blatant desire in his expression.

"You're beautiful," he murmured, almost reverently. And for a moment, just a moment, there was something almost tender in his touch as he cupped my cheek.

But it was gone as quickly as it had come, replaced by that same ruthless hunger as he pushed my dress up around my waist and settled himself between my thighs. "And now you're mine."

He didn't wait for a response, just thrust into me with one hard stroke that had us both groaning at the sudden fullness. I cried out at the sensation, my nails scratching at his back as he started to move.

It was rough and brutal, each snap of his hips driving him deeper into my willing body. There was no tenderness, no gentleness... just raw, primal need as he pounded into her with a single-minded focus.

I could feel another orgasm building already, could feel the tension coiling tighter and tighter inside her with every thrust. I tried to hold back, tried to resist the pleasure that threatened to overwhelm her... but it was futile.

"Come for me," Lucien growled, his hand finding my clit and rubbing tight circles around the sensitive nub. "Now."

The command in his voice shattered the last of my control. I came with a scream, clenching down hard around him as ecstasy exploded through my veins.

Lucien followed a heartbeat later with a guttural roar of his own, spilling deep inside me as his hips jerked with the force of his release.

We collapsed together in a tangle of sweat-slicked limbs, both panting and spent as we struggled to catch our breath. I knew she should feel ashamed, should hate myself for giving in to him like that... but right now, all I could feel was satisfaction.

I didn't know when,but everything darkened as my eyes closed.
