KALEB–

I watched my starved little pet as she squirmed around to get to the bowl of water I held in front of her face. Every now and then pulling it away, just to watch her try and get to it, to ease the thirst that concealed within the depths of her throat. She was panting for something to feed her hunger, her thirst. Just like the start, I kept her from eating or drinking just so I can revive the feeling she had when she first got here. As I’d predicted, it worked out well. She was relying on me to keep her alive, that’s what I wanted, for her to rely on me for everything, even the breath that she took, I wanted her to know and understand that I had full control of her, for I was her master, I was her Dom and she was my slave, my submissive. I put the bowl to her mouth, watching her lick the water, letting it wet her tongue, letting it fuel her adrenaline.

‘Do you think you’ve suffered enough to feel good now, pet?’ I knew my question took her back to the first time I ever made her cum. I could see her body still at my words. ‘Yes master.’ She lifted her head up, her blindfolded eyes searching for me. I put the bowl aside and took the cuffs off her wrists. She instantly rubbed her sore skin, I took her hands in mine and kissed every redness on her wrists. I could feel her settle at my gesture. I took the blindfold off her eyes and watched her watch me, I could see the emotions that circled her as she saw me after a few days of being back here. Her eyes traced my every move as I picked up the bowl of water and walked to the far end of the room, placing it next to the bowl of food. I stood back, waiting, watching as she slowly got onto her hands and knees and crawled to the bowls that were set in front of my feet. She buried her face into the meal and ate what I’d deprived her of. A small smile filtered my lips, I loved the way she looked on her hands and knees, at my feet. I loved the way her ass hung in the air, waiting for me to pound into it. It never failed to wake the beast in me.

After her little feast was done, I brought her back into the room that she belonged to, that once use to be her prison, only difference now was that, she had come to love this prison. I planned on having her in my room but she had to earn that. My eyes traced over her fragile figure as she stood bent over on the bed, she had been a naughty girl and it was time to punish her. ‘Count’ I smacked my belt into her ass, watching it jiggle at the impact, I had barely started and she was already gasping at every hit. ‘Do you know why I’m punishing you, pet?’ I questioned her, almost positive, she had no idea. She shook her head and counted ‘three’ as I landed another hit to her skin. ‘What’s that? I can’t hear you.’ I was taunting her and I loved it. ‘No master, I don’t know why you’re punishing me.’ She cried out at the next blow. ‘This is for letting another man stay with you, James, was it?’ I watched her as her body tensed up at my answer. Another blow and she dug her face into the mattress. ‘I’m sorry master.’ She mumbled into the sheet. ‘Sorry is not good enough, pet.’ She tried inch away from me as I prepared to land the next hit.

‘Tell me pet, who do you belong to?’

‘You master.’

Strike seven.

‘Who owns you?’

‘You master.’

Strike eight.

‘Are you going to ever disappoint me again?’

‘No master.’

Strike nine.

‘Good girl.’

‘Thank you master.’Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

‘Every little part of you belongs to me, even the air you breathe is mine.’

Strike ten. She was writhing in pain as the last blow hit her full force. I stood behind her, rubbing her red ass in my hands, soothing the pain I’d just inflicted on her. She relaxed under my touch, giving into the pain and letting it devour her.

I watched her tiny body still bent over on the bed, something about her burned my insides, I had always enjoyed inflicting pain on others, yet with her, I wanted to hold her in my arms and pamper her all day long, call her a princess and kiss her goodnight. Something about her was starting to tame the beast that lived inside me, something about her was starting to bring out the man I was eleven years ago, the man with emotions. The man that felt, for I was feeling things for her that my mind couldn’t comprehend. For I was feelings things for her that I had long ago forbidden.

KALEB–

I stared at the beauty that slept peacefully beside me, her long lashes resting over her pretty eyes. It’d been weeks since I had her back, all to myself, nothing in the way of us. Nothing keeping us at arms length. I buried my face in the crook of her neck, my arm draped over her waist as I pulled her in closer to me. Never wanting to leave her side. She’d unchained me, broke down the walls I’d built up so high. I gave in to her just as much as she gave into me. Although I was on a constant turmoil, I knew one thing for sure, that I’d opened my heart to this one girl, this very special girl. I kissed her shoulder, not being able to hold back from spoiling her with little kisses that ran deep on her skin. She moved her body in my arms, turning over and facing me, her eyes slid open as she gazed into mine. A small smile slipping onto her lips. ‘Good morning Master.’ She placed small gentle kisses along my chest. ‘Good morning, pet.’ My fingers dipped into her hair, playing with her silk locks. ‘Sleep well master?’ She looked up, a devilish look in her eyes as she slid her body away from mine and moved down towards my legs. ‘Hmmm.’ Was my response as I watched her bend over and run her mouth across my crotch. My lips parted, letting out a breath as she tantalised the beast inside me, awakening it. The palm of her hands fiddled with my now erected member as she rubbed it vigorously. The heat of her mouth replaced the palm of her hand as she licked over my boxer, teasing me, taunting my needy cock. I groaned as my length sprained up, she pulled the boxer down my thighs, her eyes looking into mine as her hand wrapped around my now free’d cock. I could already feel the pleasure building up inside me as her tongue circled my length and then her mouth wrapped around it, a low growl escaped my throat all the while my tip hit the back of her throat. I leaned forward and pulled her on top of me, not giving her a chance to object as I entered her, she moaned at the sudden entry upon her body. I held her waist, my eyes on her perky little breasts as they bounced with every thrust. I was getting harder by the minute, any harder and I’d explode as her walls closed in on my length. My fingers dug into her skin, my cock buried deep inside of her. She panted into the air, momentarily stopping and grinding herself on my cock. I took a deep breath, holding back from pinning her down and fucking the life out of her. My thrusts began again, my hands now on her breasts, grabbing them, squeezing them. ‘Mmmm Master.’ She moaned again as I picked up pace, a few more strokes and we both came crashing down.

I flipped her over, not pulling out, I wanted to stay inside her, not ready to disconnect from her. My eyes searched deep into hers as my mouth spoke things I wasn’t aware of. ‘Would you want me to change?’ We both stilled at my question. It took her a minute to respond. ‘What do you mean, master?’

‘Would you want me to treat you differently? If you could change anything about me, would you?’ I wasn’t sure if I wanted to know her answer, but I knew that I needed to know it.

My heart settled as she shook her head, the corners of her lips curving up into a smile. ‘No, I fell in love with you, everything that you are, I wouldn’t change a thing about you.’ That’s all it took for my mouth to come crashing down onto hers. I didn’t know if I could change the beast that permanently lived inside me but I was willing to try, if that was what she’d wanted. I was willing to be a better man for her. I studied her face, taking in her features as I questioned myself. How did I ever get so lucky to come across a girl like her? I was a criminal, a murderer, a monster yet she didn’t judge me, she accepted me for who I was, she loved me for who I was. Even after everything that I put her through, she was here, not wanting me to change for her, not expecting anything from me but to give her my heart, and right now, in this moment, I knew that my heart already belonged to her. It belonged to her from the day I set eyes on her, it just took me this long to realise that I do truly love her. That I am, uncontrollably and unconditionally in love with her.

She watched me carefully as I stared down at her, lost in my own thoughts. She went to speak but I placed my index finger onto her lips. My heart was accelerating full speed as I tried to form the words. I’d never said this to anyone, I wasn’t sure how to say it so I went in for the simple way, simple three words that were about to change everything. ‘I love you.’ She froze as did I, I wasn’t sure why I froze but it felt strange to say that. To tell her how I felt, to expose myself. Tears stung her eyes as she held my face in her hands. ‘I love you.’ She spoke out, I wiped the tear that escaped her eye and kissed her. Pulling back, I looked into her eyes, never wanting to see a single tear drop out of them. I was going to protect her until the day my heart stopped beating, take care of her. She was my pet now, but one day, one day she was going to be my wife.

THREE YEARS LATER–

The sun bloomed onto Eva’s skin, her eyes beamed of happiness as the monster she once knew, kissed the bump on her stomach. His face tilted up, his eyes searching hers as a smile approached his lips. He stood up, wrapping his arms around her, pulling her towards him, being careful not to crush the life that was growing in her womb. He had swore to stay by her side every second of the day and look after her during her nine months. After that, he was going to become a dad, and she would become a mum. He stared down at the woman that stood before him, proud of everything that was her. The beast still resided in him but it was tamed at the hands of Eva. She had become his soft spot, his weakness, for she had taught him how to love, how to feel. He held her because he knew that she was his, he held her because she was the only thing he wanted to hold. The sun settled upon his sun kissed skin, his green eyes glistening with desire as he stared down at the woman he’d stolen, he had robbed her life and he knew that, but somewhere in the depths of him, the monster that lurked in his bones, wasn’t ashamed of taking her, claiming her, possessing her, the monster was proud that he had chosen a beauty to his beast. And somewhere inside the beauty, somewhere in her heart, she was proud that she’d given herself to the monster that stood before her. She was happy that, that monster she knew, was now her beast, her Kaleb. For, they had become one, together they were a whole, together, they were complete. For they, breathed only for the other. And now, they had an addition to them, together, they’d created a life force, a human, a baby. ‘Would you care for breakfast in bed with a side of handcuffs, pet?’ Kaleb breathed against her lips, intimidating her like he always did, putting her heart to work as it fluttered in her chest. ‘Yes, Master.’ She kissed his lips then turned around, heading back to their bedroom where her restraints awaited her along with a delicious breakfast he had personally prepared for his beauty and his baby. His eyes watched her back, his heart full of desire and love, for he, ached to feed her his love, for he, ached to feed his beast her presence, for he, was a human and a monster all in one.
