Apex Predators (5 page)

She jerked when she felt his touch again. He wordlessly
drained the tub and then started to refill it again. He took a rag and after
wetting it squeezed warm water on her back.  “Your friend is with my brother,
she is fine, well as fine as you are.” She bit hit her tongue, she was positive
he wouldn’t want to hear anything she had to say to him.

After washing her back he further humiliated her by washing
every part of her. She was a mixture of in pain and enraged. Once done he took
some type of ointment and as soon as it touched her back she sighed. It felt
like heaven on the wounds. “This will make it heal faster and ease your pain.”
She didn’t say anything. Did he want a fucking thank you?

He lifted her from the tub and gently towel dried her off.
She had to bite her cheek to stop the hysterical laughter that wanted to come
out.

He kidnapped woman, screwed them, killed them, beat them
apparently and had them compete against his sick ass vampire tribe.

Yet, here he was handling her as if she was a piece of
glass. He led her into the massive bedroom, “Get in bed.” She hesitated. “You
need to rest.” She moved onto the bed and lied on her stomach. She felt him
lift a soft plush comforter over her butt and leave it there as to not cover
her back.

He sat on the bed beside her and she could feel his eyes
on her. He didn’t touch her, he didn’t even speak. That was one hundred percent
fine with her. She closed her eyes and tried to ignore his presence.

When she opened her eyes again the lights in the room
were dimmed and she wondered how long she had been asleep. She sat up on her
elbows and looked around. She carefully moved so she was seated on her butt and
pulled her knees to her chest.

She winced at the pain that small effort caused. Her back
was on fire and she blinked away the tears of pain that came to her eyes.

She got a good look at the room now. This man had money.
She had assumed so based off his sick game he conducted but this really proved
it as she sat taking in his enormous room.

The ceiling seemed to go up and up and was painted an off
white beige color that met the dark colored walls. The furniture in the room
was all European luxury style carved and matching. The colors of the room were
a deep royal blue, a dark teal and a deep gold. 

The carpet was a damask theme in the same colors.  Thick
heavy curtains hung from the ceiling against the wall behind the bed.

She looked up at the large chandelier that was hanging
above the bed by a thick gold chain. When she looked back down he was standing at
the foot of the bed by a plush velvet bed stool.  

How the hell did he do that? He’s not human. Her mind
answered for her. “It’s time we discuss your options Morgana.” She didn’t say
anything to him and waited for him to elaborate while she pulled the blanket
over herself.

He had just seen her fully nude but still, her dignity
wouldn’t let her just air it all out. He grinned at the gesture. “You have three
options. One, you can spend the rest of your days in the lower level of the
stable and I don’t want that for you, but my male vampires and some female’s
are very interested in playing with you.” She didn’t want to know what that
meant.

“Two, you can go back to the trials tomorrow but I don’t
think you would do very well in your current state or Piper who would be going
with you, and your third option, you stay with me, you just have to give
yourself to me and you will never have to go back to the stable and none of my
vampires may touch you.” He stared at her.

None of those options sounded good to her. She was not
going to be the play toy of his freaks, there was no way in hell she was
fighting one of his vampires and after they now killed some of them she
guaranteed they would make her pay dearly and she had no idea of Piper’s
condition. The third..she had no idea what that even entailed. She wasn’t
thrilled with that choice either.

“Piper?” She asked. “Your friend will be with you here, she
has chosen the third option with my brother. He will take very, good care of
her.” He grinned when he got to very. She swallowed. “What is three?” She
couldn’t believe this but number three was the only option that would by her
some time.

He smiled largely at her. “You become like me.” Her face
must have shown her reaction to that. “Not right away of course. I don’t trust
you; I would only half turn you. I’m not so bad, I can still walk in the sun, I
still eat your human food, and I’ve looked thirty-three for a very long time.
We will have eternity together.” She had to catch herself from gawking at his
insane mental psychotic ass.  “Why me?” He came way to close for her to be
comfortable with and took her hand.

“No, one that has ever been brought to us is like you,
your gorgeous, your strong, what you did took bravery, you showed loyalty to
someone you love and I’ve gathered all there is to know about you, your smart
and you’ve got two speeding tickets on your record.” Why couldn’t she have been
a prostitute that stole body wash and dropped out of high school?

She would have to gain his trust to get out of here
though. So maybe her track record could work for her benefit. He was smart
though she could sense it so how long would this take?

She had no choice, she had to choose three. She knew
begging to be let go would fruitless and trying to get away so soon would
surely result in her death. He immediately cupped her face with his large
hands. “That makes me very pleased.”

He pressed his mouth to hers. She wanted to gag, she knew
he used woman for sex daily and he was a depraved psychopath. She would have to
get used to this if this is what it took to get them free. He slipped his
tongue in her mouth.

It was so hard to kiss this vile man back. She let her
mind go elsewhere as she let him deepen his kiss but what started as soft
turned hungry. She wasn’t ready for what she knew was about to come. “Roll
over.” It was a sharp command.

She took a deep breath and rolled to her stomach.
“Perfect.” He murmured.  She heard him taking off his suit pants and tensed.

She was fighting a war with herself over this but what
choice did she have? She couldn’t exactly fight him and she didn’t know where
Piper was to make a grand escape again.

He lifted her onto her knees and slid a finger inside of
her. She tensed and shut her eyes.

He began moving his finger in and out of her. His finger was
gone quickly and she felt his very hard throbbing cock behind her far too
quickly.

“I can’t wait anymore. Try and relax or this will hurt
you.” With that he pushed inside of her. She gasped and rushed out a breath.

He was huge and thick, it hurt, she forced herself to
relax as best as she could she felt like she was being split in two. “You are
unbelievably tight.” He huskily said. She realized he wasn’t wearing a condom.
She went to say just that when he began rapidly pounding into her. He didn’t
ease into it he just went to a rapid speed. He cursed as he did this. “I knew
you would be like this.” He ground out.

She squeezed her eyes shut and fisted his sheets. She tried
to go to another place but with each thrust her back tightened and she felt
every inch of him. She was mortified when a moan slipped out of her mouth. That
encouraged him to go even harder than he already was. His hand slipped around
her and he found her clit.

He began rubbing it gently as he thrust. No, no , no she
kept repeating in her head. She was not going to find pleasure from this sick
creature.

That was exactly what happened, she bit her lip to try and
muffle the sound but he of course knew what had happened.

She had never got there so fast with her ex or at all
during the times they did have sex. Then again Ryan was her first and last.
This man was very experienced in what he was doing.

He didn’t let up after that, he continued thrusting into
her at a rapid pace. He gripped her hips hard and she whimpered. He chuckled.
Of course he would be turned on by that. He finally finished with one last hard
thrust that made her gasp.

He pulled out of her. “Don’t move.” He told her. She stayed
like that for a minute.  She felt a warm rag between her thighs a minute later.
He eased her back on her butt and wiped between her legs. As he pulled away she
saw a little bit of blood on the rag.

When he came back he was back dressed like nothing had
happened between them. “You’re perfect but, I have to attend the trials, I will
see you later, do not leave this room.” He kissed her lips and left. She curled
in a ball and cried herself to sleep.

When she woke back up she was sore, her back hurt and her
spirit was dragging on the ground. She moved gently out of the bed. It hurt to
walk. She made her way into the attached bathroom. She went to the sink and
splashed water on her face and cupped her hands to drink some. She wasn’t ready
to see the damage done to her back yet.

She walked back into the room. She was still naked and it
bothered her. She sat on his bed looking around. She heard a door open and sat
waiting. He came into the room and eyed her smiling. “You have no idea how
beautiful you are.” He came closer and sat beside her.

The smell of perfume was very strong and it clearly
wasn’t her. He was a pig. That brought her back to earlier. “You don’t use
condoms?” She asked and was proud of herself for not yelling at him like she
wanted to. “Not with you I don’t.” She didn’t believe that, he had been with
the redhead in the barn and doubted he just had a condom handy for that and she
didn’t know how she would react if she got pregnant by this mythical creature.

“One second.” He stood and left the room. He was gone maybe
fifteen minutes before he came back with a voluptuous raven haired woman. “Lorintha
did we use a condom?”  The woman rolled her eyes and looked at her. “Caed
always uses condoms sweetie, so don’t worry, we just used one.” Her stomach
turned and she bit her lip and cast her gaze downwards.

The sound of them kissing could be heard in the quiet room.
“I’ll see you soon.” He mumbled to the woman. She heard a door shut and still
didn’t look up.

“I can’t get humans pregnant and I can’t catch your
diseases. I also know you’ve only been with one man and you have none.” She
counted to three. “Okay.” Her voice sounded hollow to her own ears.

Could she really do this? All she wanted to do was kick
his sorry ass and watch him burn slow and painfully. Could she pretend to like
him and be his fuck toy? She didn’t know if she was that good of an actress but
she was about to find out.

“You can call me Caed.” He said after a few minutes of
silence and thank fuck for that she was not the “Master.” type of woman.
“Anything else?” He asked. She shook her head.

He left again and a few minutes later a silver dinner cart
was wheeled into the room. He sat on the bed beside her and sat a silver lap
tray across her lap as he pushed her legs down.

He placed a plate in front of her. It was clear there was
mashed potatoes, vegetables and what looked like steak. He had the same meal.

He cut his steak and she looked away as the blood ran from
it. “Yours is well done.” He looked at her. “You need to eat.” She picked up a
spoon. “What is it?” He actually laughed. “Ah, yes you did see the freezers. We
don’t eat humans. Those parts will be sold. That is a very expensive steak.”

After that explanation she had no appetite, they sold body
parts? She ate her potatoes to appease him. “Eat the steak.” She picked up a
bottle of steak sauce and dumped it on the piece of meat. She picked up a steak
knife and fork and cut a piece off. She bit into it. It was steak, the best
steak she had ever tasted.

He didn’t speak again until the cart was wheeled away by
one of his staff and she had a glass of water on a coaster on his nightstand.

“This won’t work if you don’t open up to me.” Open up to
him? “Are you fucking serious?” She couldn’t believe how he fell just into this
natural relationship like they had been together and knew each other for years.
He grinned. “Yes, that’s what I want, give me attitude, and test me, I love it.”
She raised her brows at him.

“It’s not an act with you. Many fake bravery just to scream
my name or fuck me like Rachel did.” She didn’t know who Rachel was. “The woman
from the barn.”

Well, now she knew who Rachel was. “Lay back.” He said
after a minute. “If you think you’re going to fuck me after you just fucked
someone else your sadly mistaken.” She snapped.

“Are you jealous?” He asked. “Are you insane?” She shot
back. He started to laugh. She wasn’t trying to make him like her she was
actually pissed off at the nerve of him.

He went to his bathroom and showered. She sat on his bed
thinking of how she was going to get away again. He came back completely naked.
She got a good look at his body now. He was ethereal, he should have been fat,
balding and sweaty not a spectacular display of sexy muscle.

He hit a switch on the wall and all the lights turned off. 
He climbed in the bed. He lay on his back and made her lay on his chest. She
had already slept so much she laid there staring into the dark room.

“I know you see me as a monster of some sort, we are two
very different species but I will make you a very happy woman, I swear to you.”
She didn’t respond to that. How could he want to do all of this? They didn’t
know each other at all.

She lye in the dark for awhile before finally dozing back
off. She was woken by his firm body on top of hers. Her eyes flew open and her
heart caught in her throat. He was looking down at her. “I’ve been waiting for
you to wake up.” His fangs were down she saw them as he spoke.

He leaned down and captured her mouth with his. She didn’t
want this, why couldn’t this have all been a dream? She didn’t realize she was
crying until he pulled back and looked down at her.  “That will not work.” He
sounded mad.

He slammed his mouth back to hers and his fangs nicked her
lip. He sucked it into his mouth.

He shoved her legs apart and she fought to stay outwardly
calm. She wasn’t at all ready for him.

He plunged a finger in and began pumping it before adding
another he dipped his head and sucked her left nipple into his mouth stroking
it with his tongue. She fought hard to ignore the sensations, how could her body
react like this to him? She felt herself grow wet as he continued moving his
fingers in and out of her.

 She knew she needed to start doing something. He would
never trust her at this rate. She closed her eyes and relaxed slowly but
surely. She opened her eyes and he was kissing down her navel to her core.

His tongue swept up her folds and his fingers continued to
move in and out of her.  Ryan never did anything like this. She felt her orgasm
building as he continued what he was doing. He pulled her clit into his mouth
and the feeling shot up tenfold she almost came off the bed when the orgasm
hit.

He chuckled and kissed his way back up her body. He didn’t
waste time and he pushed inside of her. He immediately started thrusting deep
and hard at a steady pace.

She was ashamed at the sounds she was making. “That’s it
gorgeous.” He murmured from above her. She grabbed the sheets as he picked his
pace up.

He opened his mouth and leaned towards her neck. Her body
seemed to go in instant fight or flight mode at the sight of fangs coming near down
her neck. Her arms went up to try and push him off but he grabbed them and
pinned them above her head.

“No, don’t.” She pleaded and tried to move and couldn’t. He
had a firm grip on her arms.

He ignored her pleading and she felt the sharp points
pierce her skin. His tongue lapped at the blood that began to trickle out of
the puncture.

She had expected pain from the time her shoulder had been
bit into but she didn’t get anything but a warm blissful feeling. She wrapped
her arms around him and pulled him closer.

 He stopped a few seconds later and leant up. “Your taste
is incomparable.”  He kissed her lips softly. His thrust picked back up and she
watched as he took his wrist to his mouth and nicked it. “Drink.”

 He pressed it to her mouth and she refused to open. He
gripped her jaw painfully and when she squeaked out in pain he shoved his wrist
down. The blood tasted sweet and coppery. He made her take it for a few seconds
before pulling his wrist away and she watched the puncture close.

She could still taste it as he continued pounding into
her. They came together a few minutes after that. She swallowed and refused to
meet his gaze as he looked at her from above her. “Now, the real fun can
begin.” He kissed her deeply before lifting off of her and the bed.
