Some of my anger shifts back into fear, and I take one tentative step away from him. “You are a fucking bastard. I’m not some animal to be locked up and sold for profit. I’m a human being, something I thought was getting through your dense skull.”
His eyes spark before he grins down at me. “Stellina, you mean nothing more to me than a piece of ass to use before you make me a lot of money. That’s it. I’ve never pretended otherwise. If you have, you do whatever you need to do to get through this, but—” He stands and towers over me.
I take one more step back, but he reaches out and snatches me toward him by my neck, squeezing tight with his fingers. “If you ever hit me again, it will be the last thing you do. Auction or not, I will end you.”
He drags me into him and then turns me to face the desk. I can’t do anything but flail, trying to find something to grab onto, something to help me escape. When he shoves me over the top of the desk and presses into my ass, fear and desire intertwine again, and I fight back, reaching out to scratch, kick, and hit anything to get him off me.
But he doesn’t budge, not even when my fingers claw into the arm that he brings around to trap me underneath him. His torso is pressed down into my back, and my breasts hurt from the counterpoint from his desk below.
“Let’s get a few things straight here, princess. Sex means nothing to me. Sometimes I use it to clear my head. That’s what happened last night. It also made a point, showing you that you aren’t the frigid bitch you try to play in front of others.” He grinds his hard cock against me, shoving the air out of my lungs in a huff. s. My brain is cloudy with fear and the memories of last night.
“The next thing you need to learn is how to keep yourself alive because right now, you’re doing a shitty job of it. Do you know what Soo would have done if he’d walked in when you threw that wood? Did you consider what would happen if you actually hit me? Of course, not. You act on impulse and not logic. A fucking fatal flaw in most pampered princesses. No one taught you how to keep your mouth shut and your head down to survive.” He growls the last word into my ear and then traps my hands above my head in one of his.
“A word of advice on that front. Don’t attack the man who has the power to break you. Did you even think about the fact that I’m the one who will choose who you get sold to?” He uses his other hand to curve down the side of my breasts and then hip to delve under my shirt. When he cups my pussy, I squirm against him, trying to break free of his hold.
He continues whispering like a lover in my ear. “I could pick someone I know will be so very gentle with you. Or I can pick someone who I know will delight in torturing you until there’s nothing left of the stupid fucking princess he purchased.”
I shiver under him, and it has nothing to do with his possessive hand over my core and everything to do with the devil of a man threatening me like he means it.
He does everything like he means it.
When he grinds his dick into me, I stop struggling and remain still, hoping not to excite him further. All I need is for him to teach me yet another lesson. “I told you last night, I love it when you fight. But there’s a difference between fighting for your life and fighting for your pleasure. This is the difference. Do you see it now?”
I fold my lips together and nod as much as I can, with my cheek pinned between him and his desk blotter. How could I have ever thought things had changed between us? It wasn’t as if I expected him to be a different person, but maybe… I thought by giving in last night, I’d earn a measure of respect.
No doubt he’d mock me for my weakness and find a way to use it against me if I ever confessed such a thing. Arching into me, I can feel how much he enjoys it by the way his body shakes around me. His furious breath in my ear, the vice grip he’s got on my wrists. The next time he slowly slides his pant-covered dick along my panty-covered ass, I push back into him. He lets out a hiss against my earlobe. “Are we done fighting, stellina? You got a little taste of my cock last night, and now you want more?”
