Just a clear and simple answer for once. Was that really all she needed? Was that all it took to appease her and make her soft in my arms?
She has never responded to me like she does now, so affectionate and mellow. It’s not just that she doesn’t fight me off. She doesn’t simply let this happen—she seems to welcome it. I can feel her hand at the back of my neck, the tips of her fingers grazing down my spine and sending hot prickles through my body.
Her behavior stands in stark contrast to the way she looked when I first walked in. She looked so broken then, so lost, almost as bereft as she did when she first woke up. Her face only lit up when I started talking to her, when all I did was give a simple answer to a mundane question.
Maybe it was that. Or maybe she takes solace in knowing that she’s close to the sea. Or it’s not the fact itself, but just the realization that her assumption was correct. Maybe that’s what lifted her spirits like this.
I shouldn’t question it. I should enjoy her fondness of my approach.
I should take advantage of it.
Today could be the day. The day I will finally have her in the way we both want it.
She opens her eyes, casting a curious look to the side when she realizes that I’m not taking her where she expected me to. We’re approaching the door to the connected room that will scare her. Her demeanor might change as soon as we step inside, leaving the plush paradise she’s allowed to reside in right now and exchanging it with something far more intimidating.
She may argue and struggle, but it would be too late.
Her body tenses in my arms as she watches me open the door. It’s a simple lock, one of the few doors that can be opened the old-fashioned way, with a key. I’m always carrying it with me, attached to the belt I wear when I come to see her. It makes me feel like a prison ward, especially now as I trouble myself with opening the door without having to let go of her. She makes it easier by clinging on to my neck, seemingly seeking comfort by pressing herself closely against my chest.
It’s adorable—and so fucking alluring that it causes my cock to stand in attention.
Fuck, I can’t wait to bury myself between her legs.
She doesn’t say a word, doesn’t fight, doesn’t even flinch when the door opens, revealing the dark chamber behind.
But her face tells me everything I need to know.
She’s terrified, stunned in surprise, but most of all: intrigued. Of course she would be. There’s a dirty little nymph hiding beneath all that apparent innocence. I’m the only one who knows about it —and the only who knows how to please that part of her.
A gasp flees her lips when I step through the door, tightening my grip on her as if I was afraid she could try to run from me.
