Chapter Twenty-Five

Maureen

A fucking snake? No, not just any snake. A fucking poisonous king cobra snake. Of course, Atlas would keep one of the deadliest predators as a pet. I seriously need to rethink my life choices.

"Please, put him back, Atlas," I beg. I can't stop my legs from shaking. Its black and white scales seem to glow as it slithers around Atlas's naked body. How he isn't afraid is beyond me. That thing could kill both of us in seconds.

Atlas takes another calculated step forward. "Don't move, pretty girl. He doesn't know you yet."

How can I not move? I'm fucking trembling. "Why are you doing this?" I whisper, afraid that even my voice will startle the feral reptile that clings to his arm.

Atlas climbs onto the bed slowly. He's only inches away now. The snake's body is so long it touches the ground. "In about twenty seconds, he's going to latch onto your thigh and bite you. Do not panic. It will hurt a lot, but it will be worse if you freak out."

Um, what? I'm dead. Atlas is certifiable. He's lured me up here to feed me to his pet snake. Fuck. I want to run but the cobra fans out his neck as he eyes me. I won't get away in time. "No. I don't want this. What the fuck? You think this is going to make me trust you?"

"I control Zeus, not the other way around. He's a predator like me. But the venom in his fangs is rare. I haven't let anyone have a taste. Not even Riot or Valentin. After he bites you, I'll coax him off, put him away, and suck the poison out." Atlas's arm flexes as Zeus snaps forward.

I flinch and curse under my breath. "I don't understand the point of this."

Atlas smiles. "I want this bond with you. There's nothing more intimate than this. To be at our most vulnerable and trust each other completely."

Fuck. He looks so beautiful holding that snake. I don't know what it is about these guys that make me do things I'd never do. I always want to give in to them. "I'm scared," I whisper.

"I know." When he lowers his arm, Zeus hisses and slithers down onto the bed. "The poison will paralyze you for a moment. But I promise, I'll suck it out before it's too late."

Not the most reassuring sentiment I've heard. Fucking hell. Why am I doing this? I inhale short steady breaths as I watch his snake make its way toward me. When its scaly body rubs against my leg, I almost lose my entire stomach. I suck in a deep breath and secretly wish I could just black out.

"You're doing so good, Firecracker. Just relax," Atlas whispers. He still holds onto part of Zeus, but I seriously doubt how much power he really has over him. Will he really be able to stop this creature from eating me alive?

Zeus jerks his head a few times and it takes all my willpower to keep still. He flaps his neck and lets out a loud hiss. Oh, fuck.

I buck my hips as his sharp fangs sink into the inside of my thigh. A stifled scream unleashes from my throat. The pain is excruciating. My insides burn so hot I can't breathe. I'm going to die. I'm such an idiot.

Through my blurred vision, I glimpse Atlas leaping off the bed with the snake. At least I think I do. I can't hear anything. My tongue feels like a weight I can't lift. Fuck. My life is in his hands.

When Atlas returns, he's on me in a flash. I don't feel his lips at first, but I can see them pucker around the fresh snake bite. It makes my skin tingle and sweat.

"I got you, Firecracker," he murmurs. The grooves of his tongue feel like sandpaper against my raw flesh. I can't tell if I'm crying but my face feels wet. Or maybe I'm bleeding from my eyes.

Atlas doesn't seem alarmed. The harder he sucks, the more feeling returns to my body. I blink a few times and the room is sharper. Clearer. I take a deep breath and release it slowly while he laps at my wound and all around it.

"Mmm, so fucking good." He drags the tip of his tongue up my thigh and across my abdomen. "I want you to fuck my mouth, pretty girl. Rub that sweet pussy of yours all over my face. You did so good. You deserve to cum."

I let out a moan as he flicks his tongue between my pussy lips. " Fuck me hard ," he begs.

The room seems to spin as he thrusts the entire length of his rough tongue deep inside my pussy. I grab onto his head and thread my fingers through his blond locks.

He hums inside me as he digs his fingers into my ass cheeks and pulls me taut against him. I let him rock me up and down. Oh, fuck. The pressure in my core builds, my insides tingling and spasming with every flick.

He peers up at me with those piercing blue eyes, and I moan louder. There's something about him watching me unravel from his touch… I buck wildly as he lifts my legs up over my head, pinning me back as he devours my pussy.

"Atlas… what are you fucking doing to me?" I rasp.

He grabs a hold of my clit and pinches it. " Cum for Daddy ."

I gaze up at him, unhinged. His perfectly chiseled body glistens with sweat as he thrusts two fingers inside me. "Oh, fuck. I'm cumming."

"You're so fucking filthy. Fuck." He slaps my pussy and something feral comes over me.

I cry out as an orgasm rips through me, and my cream becomes a projectile. "Oh, shit. I can't stop."

"Fuck yeah. Squirt all over me," he pants as he adds a third finger inside and pushes all the way back to my most sensitive spot. "So fucking naughty, aren't you?"

He wraps a hand around my throat and squeezes. I arch my back into it as the pressure from him holding me down sparks another spasm in my swollen nub. I don't remember the pain or the fear from Zeus's bite anymore. All I feel, all I know , is this otherworldly pleasure that he's giving me right now.

He shoves two fingers down my throat, and I know I'm in trouble. The kind that makes your toes curl and your nipples pebble. This man wants to do despicable things to me, and I'm going to let him.

"Yeah, give me all those pretty tears while I choke you," He presses down on my tongue, and I gag which only makes me cum harder on the three fingers he's thrusting inside my pussy.

I moan louder as he controls my body like a marionette. Like I'm his toy to play with. I want him to use me up until there's nothing left.

He licks the tears off my cheeks. "Do you like being my pretty little doll?"

I'm addicted to the torture he inflicts. It's a toxic obsession that I crave because he rewards me with so much more. I clench around his fingers, my cum still dripping out as I ride the last of my orgasm. "Yes, Daddy," I moan. A thousand fucking times, yes. My body is on fire, wet with sweat and cum and tears. I need his brutality. His own weird fucking brand of psycho.

A devilish look flickers in his eyes as he drags me off the bed and bends me over the center island. I freeze when I notice the cubby carved into it. Zeus's habitat . And it doesn't look like it's enclosed. "Atlas, your snake is right fucking there," I stammer.

Atlas wraps something around my wrists, securing them behind my back. He holds my head down against the table and the stench of hemlock and oleander invades my senses, making me dizzy. "Shhh, don't startle him. He just wants to watch."

My arms ache behind my back, but I don't move or take my eyes off the deadly cobra. "You're a psychopath," I whisper.

He strokes his hands across my ass cheeks, chuckling as I tremble. "I want to see you cry when your tight little hole tries to stretch around my cock." I shudder at the way he gently pulls my ass cheeks apart. "And then I'm going to lick your tears and swallow them down with all that cum."

I clench as the tip of his cock nudges against my entrance. "But first, lets get you lubed up."

In my peripheral, I see him reach for a vial of poison. I squirm and try to lurch away from him. "You're not putting that inside me, Atlas."

"Yes, I am. You're ready, pretty girl. It will only burn for a second."

The liquid sizzles when it hits my flesh. My cry becomes a muffled gargle with his hand clamped over my mouth. "Shhh, pretty girl. You'll scare Zeus."

Fucking fuck my ass is literally on fire. It burns and tingles at the same time. But despite my fear, the poison loosens me up.

"Oh yeah, you're nice and slick now." He grabs my bound wrists, using them to anchor him, as he pushes inside my ass.

" Uhhh ," I cry out.

"Damn, you're so fucking tight. Let me in, pretty girl. Let Daddy get nice and deep." His cock throbs and swells against my walls. My clit responds with a spasm and moisture instantly pools in my core. It leaks out and onto my thighs as he forces himself farther in.

He grinds against me, thrusting in circles. "Cry for me, Firecracker." He smacks his hand down hard against my ass while ramming his cock all the way in.

It feels like he's ripping me apart at the seams. His snake hisses when I unleash a bloodcurdling scream. Atlas slaps me again, harder this time and my knees buckle. "Mmm, there we go. Now I can see a couple of tears on your pretty face."

Holy fuck this man is depraved. Un-fucking-hinged . And I am disgusted with myself because I need it like I need air. My insides are raw from his thick cock rubbing against my walls, but it feels so fucking good. It's hot and fucked up for so many reasons.

I'm starting to relax when Zeus flaps his neck and hisses at me. "Oh fuck, Atlas…"

But it doesn't faze him. He chuckles and slams into me, tugging on my bound wrists like the reins of a saddle. "Fear is the best aphrodisiac. Give into it."

I hold my breath as Zeus slithers closer to us. "He's coming at me, Atlas."

"Aw, he just wants a closer look at my pretty girl."

Fuck. There's something wrong with me. The closer this deadly snake gets to possibly sinking its poisonous fangs back into me, the more my pussy throbs and aches. The harder I want Atlas to fuck me.

I go completely rigid when Zeus slithers over my back. " Atlas ," I squeak out.

"Relax, pretty girl. Doesn't the threat of danger make you wet?" He groans.

I'm fucking soaked. "Yes," I pant.

My heart pounds in my chest as the snake slowly slithers over my body. Atlas slows his rhythm as he rocks into me more gently. "Fuck, so deep. I'm cumming, fuck."

I feel the warm gush of his cum shoot forward and it sends a ripple of spasms to my tender nub. I cry out and rub my pussy back and forth against the table. Zeus slithers across my lower back and down around my thigh.

"Just let him do his thing, pretty girl. He wants to feel your skin," Atlas quips as he pulls out of me and backs up, leaving me bent over the table with my wrists still tied.

The fear in my belly makes my pussy spasm harder. I never knew I could feel so terrified and turned on at the same time. I shiver as Zeus slithers over my raw ass cheeks and up my back before disappearing back down into his habitat.

"Trust is a beautiful thing, Firecracker." He rubs some kind of ointment on my ass cheeks, and it instantly soothes the burn. "Seeing you in pain right before you cum makes me feel so fucking alive. Your tears are my trigger. Do you like being my pretty little doll?"

I let out a quivering sigh. My soul is already black. There's no redemption for me. I'm a killer, a slut, and a glutton for punishment. I turn my face to the side to look up at him. "Yes, Daddy. I like letting you play with me."
