I woke up with an agonising headache ripping through my head. Struggling to move, I found my sore wrists chained up to the sides of the bed, and just by a distance, I found Luciano. It took me a second to figure out that I was knocked out by him when I tried to leave the bedroom. There was a bump growing at the side of my head.

Luciano wiped his palm over his pants and stood. His eyes sparkled with mischief as he drew the curtains open, drawing in the heat of winter. I winced and cocked my head to the other side as the bright, sudden light burned my eyes.

My hair was tanged and dispersed all across my face, and underneath the sheets, I was still naked.

The whole night had passed by and I was sleeping like a dumb fool. I had things to do, places to go and many other tasks to complete before leaving with Pearl but Luciano destroyed my entire plan.

"This is wrong," I mumbled, twisting my hands and tugging them to free my self from the chains. "Let me go!" My attempts failed when I fell back on the bed, heavy breaths leaving my throat as I watched Luciano.

His lips tugged into a smile and he got over the bed. Seeing him, underneath the sunlight, after eight months, felt different. He had grown out more hair over his head and his jaw.

I sunk back into the mattress as he got over me, his face inches away. God. My eyes shut close as his finger crawled over my face, caressing my cheeks. His thumb flickered over my bottom lip and I found my self weakened by his touch.

I was his mate—again.

"So," He shifted above me, "I heard someone wanted to leave. Pity. You're still here and all tied up in my bed,"

Breathe, Red.

Just fucking breathe.

I told my self before opening my eyes and meeting with his unsettlingly calm gaze. My lips lined together and I fisted my palms before my anger got the worse out of me.

"Let me go," I gritted my teeth and repeated, hoping he'd understand better. The more I stayed here, the worse it would get. I was supposed to leave for Lunaris.

"Sorry, can't do that."

"Luciano," I exhaled through my mouth and continued, "Let me go. I've to leave,"

"Then leave, I'm watching." His hand directed towards the door that was a very long distance away from the bed and him over me wasn't helping at all.

"Release me," I showed him the restraints that kept me here.

"Nope," His fingers returned back to my face and I looked at the other side. I hated his touch. "You're my wife and let's not forget, my mate. So, you're supposed to be where I am."

My stomach twisted and I jumped, biting his finger but he pulled away at the right second and then, a wicked chuckle slipped past his lips.

My head lowered back down on the pillow as mixed feelings went through me. I needed to do something else.

Magic.

"Don't try to do something voodoo because that will not free you. Your powers are suppressed, and you'll stay like that for as long as I want you too." He said before I could curse out a spell and free my self.

"What do you want for me?"

"What do I want? Hmm," He rubbed the back of his neck and acted nervous, "So many things, princess but since you're asking, I want you to be here and you will be here."

"I want to go,"

"Can't do that. Stop saying it again and again. It kind of stirs anger inside me and you know what happens when I get mad, right?" He asked, leaning closer as his hands went underneath the sheet, caressing my naked flesh.

I pulled my legs away from his touch but I couldn't go any further. He grabbed my thighs and forced them separate, revealing my pussy. I tried to stop fantasizing the things Luciano would do with me and my body.

This wasn't the right time for it.

"You won't get anything out of this. I will still hate you and I will run the second these restraints get off me!" I spat out the truth. My feelings weren't going to change, regardless of the times he was going to fuck me.

I hated him.

He laid a hand on my sensitive flesh and I whimpered in agony.

"Oh, you are getting it wrong. I'm not going to please you, not after everything you have done, princess." I held my breath back as his thumb went over my clit. My heart pounded in my chest as he rubbed my pussy, slowly, growing another ache in my stomach. "I'm going to punish you,"

"Try me." I scoffed. 

He angled his head against my pussy and parted my folds before pushing a finger inside my tightness. A gasp trailed off me and my hips rolled. I was dry up until he licked at the inside of my cunt. Rushing, he dragged his tongue over my cunt while pounding another finger inside me.

I didn't utter a single sound, instead, I bit my lips, suppressing my moans so he would not get any satisfaction from me. I was in no mood to play his games. All I wanted to do was leave before something went wrong and Gretel changed her mind.

My eyelids squeezed shut and my nails dug into my palms as Luciano shifted. He grabbed my thighs and locked me against his hold before fucking me with his mouth. As the pleasure grew, my insides unclenched around his tongue and it got harder to keep my moans down.

I just wanted to scream and give in but at the same time, I didn't want Luciano to know that I was enjoying this.

How could I? I had things to handle, I had my trainings, and over all that, I had my daughter to worry about.

His tongue thrusted in and out of my pussy, I arched against his mouth, wanting to feel full but he pulled away the instant the second I gave in.

"Do you want something?" He asking, his voice filled with satisfaction as he wiped my wetness off his lips.

"Fuck you," I cursed.

"Damn right, I'm going to do that," He snapped.

His hands slipped away from my folds, reaching out to the shackles. Loosening one of them, he freed me and just as I tried to run, he grabbed me by my hair and pushed me back on the bed.

I was over my stomach when he grabbed my arm and locked it behind my back before hovering over me. "Stop fucking running," He was filled with wrath when he released my other hand and pushed me down on an uncomfortable position.

My pussy clenched at his possession and I found my self wetter than ever. The hunger inside me advanced as I heard his zipper go down. I released a moan when I felt his thick shaft nudging against my ass as he settled between my legs.

The head of his cock rubbed against my wetness and with a single thrust, he rammed into virgin ass, splitting me. A scream tore off me, drying my throat as my hips sank back on the bed.

Luciano smacked my ass and held it tight before pushing another inch of his cock inside me. "Take your punishment just as you take your reward," He whispered in my ear before giving me another brutal stroke.

My screams filled up the room and tears spilled out of my eyes with every thrust. I squeezed around his cock, unable to determine whether it felt good or bad. My body enjoyed it.

He eased down after hearing me whimper in pain and it started feeling better—different. My sex throbbed as he filled it up with his fingers while fucking my ass at the same time.

It felt different, in ways I couldn't even explain.

Brushing the hair off my neck, he leaned forward, kissing the flesh where he had marked me, "Come for me, Red." I heard him whisper in my ears.

Throwing my head back, I cried out as pleasure ripped through me, in waves. My insides exploded around his fingers and my body sagged on the bed, gasping for breath.
