Chapter 15

15

A fter my night with Kas , I need some time with my sunshine man. Is it weird I think of him as my ray of sunshine even though he’s a villain? He’s the oddest villain I’d ever met. He seems more the hero type rather than the villain, in my opinion.

I hear my nickname shouted behind me, making me jump. “ Snow bunny!”

Peering over my shoulder, I find a blood-soaked Ash . My mouth gapes and I shout, “ Why the fuck are you covered in blood!?”

He glances down at himself before looking back up to meet my gaze, a huge grin still in place. “ Don’t worry; it’s not mine.”

“ I wasn’t worried until you said that!” I grumble.

He glances back down at himself with a furrowed brow. “ Although , I suppose some of it could be mine.” He shrugs.

Pinching the bridge of my nose, I huff out, “ There is so much there to unpack, but let’s start with why you are covered in blood?”

He’s chipper as he answers, “ Torture , of course.”

Arching a brow, I ask, “ You or a prisoner?”

With a dramatic eye roll, he replies, “ The prisoner, of course.” Then he opens his arms out wide, flinging crimson blood on the pearl white walls. “ Hug ?”

I shake my head vehemently. “ No . Don’t you dare come close to me.”

He arches a brow. “ It’s just blood.”

“ It’s some random person’s blood!” I screech.

“ Maybe a bit of mine as well,” he tries to reason as if that would change my mind.

I narrow my eyes. “ My answer is still the same.”

His gaze turns mischievous, and he asks, “ Would you run?”

Confused by his question, I ask, “ Why would I need to run?”

He lowers his arms and takes a step toward me. “ Would you run?”

I point a finger at him, waggling it as I take a step back. “ Don’t you dare!”

Another step forward. “ Oh , I dare, Little Snow Bunny .”

With another step back, I say, “ You will ruin my dress!”

He chuckles. “ So … you’re only worried about ruining your dress?”

Growling , I take another step back. “ That’s not what I meant. You just killed some random person! They could have been innocent.”

“ Is that what you are worried about? That I killed someone innocent?” He takes another step forward as he asks, “ Would it ease your morals, if I said that the man I helped torture killed his entire family?”

I gasp as we continue this game of predator and prey. Alternating steps back and forward as we speak. “ Why would he do that?”

He shrugs. “ Why does anyone do anything in this kingdom?” He looks over my body before his eyes flash black for a moment. “ I must say after a kill, my darkness is hard to control.”

“ What are you saying?”

He groans as he licks his lips. “ I remember how delicious your tears tasted, Little Snow Bunny .” He closes his eyes as if in ecstasy as he adds, “ And your blood tasted even better.”

“ Asher ,” I whisper.

He moans, and his eyes turn black with the possibility of the chase. “ Run , little bun-bun. Run as fast as you can. When I catch you, you’ll cry tears of pleasure until my hunger is satiated.” He takes another threatening step toward me. “ Will you bleed for me too?”

Every alarm in my head is blaring. My instincts scream ‘danger’, so without hesitation, I turn and take off.

His laughter echoes through the hall. “ Your fear is intoxicating.”

I squeal as I turn the corner, heading in the direction of my room. If I can make it inside, I can lock the door. How fucked up is it that heat is pooling in my abdomen, and I can feel myself growing wet between my legs?

I’ve almost made it to my door when I feel strong arms encircle me. I scream as I’m lifted, twisted, and thrown into my room. It takes me a moment to gather my bearings, and I realize I’m in total darkness. The sound of the lock on the door clicking shut echoes in the quiet room.

I can’t pinpoint Ash’s location until I hear his deep voice behind me. “ Looks like I’ve caught a bunny.”

In a matter of seconds, I’m thrown onto the bed, and my dress is torn right up the center. My underwear is next to get ripped off, and Ash lets out a deep growl.

“ Asher ,” I pant.

I scream when I’m suddenly filled with his cock. Tears prick at the corners of my eyes from the sudden fullness. He freezes for a moment before pulling out and slamming inside me again. His thumb is between us, and he begins massaging my clit.

The sudden burst of pleasure as he pumps into me again makes me cry out. “ Come for me,” he snarls.

I shake my head, thinking it impossible until he bites one of my nipples through the fabric. My core clamps down around him, and he growls, his face suddenly in front of mine. His tongue hungrily laps at the side of my face.

He’s panting as he pounds into me and moans as he licks his lips. “ Your fucking tears are addictive. My Little Snow Bunny cries so beautifully for me.”

He pulls out of me suddenly, and I gasp at the sudden feeling of emptiness. He chuckles darkly as he moves down my body. Before I know it, his mouth is on my center, lapping at my release. He groans against me and pulls away. “ How does Kas stay away from you when you taste this intoxicating?”

He continues to eat me as I slip my fingers into his hair, gripping tightly with each brush of his tongue. My thighs tighten around his head as the pleasure builds, and when he pinches my clit, it sends me headfirst into another climax.

My body feels like jelly when I relax my thighs, letting go of their death grip on Ash’s head. He’s grinning, and I look down to find the blood on the lower half of his face has been smeared away.

He hovers over me again, letting me feel his thick cock nudge my entrance. I whine, but he just chuckles darkly and lets his cock brush my sensitive cunt. “ Is my bunny too tired to come again?”

I’m panting, but I shake my head no. He brushes his lips against mine before pulling away. I lick my lips, and I can taste myself. He hovers his mouth over my breast before biting down hard as he slams back inside of me.

I scream as I’m thrown into another orgasm, the stimulation and sensitivity too much. He growls and continues to thrust in and out of my tight channel. “ Cry for me, bunny. Cry those delicious tears.”

And I do. Tears stream down my face from overstimulation and pleasure, and he laps at the side of my face. I wait until he starts to pull away, then slip my hand around the back of his neck, pulling him close. I lift my head enough to brush my lips against his neck.

His rhythm stutters for a moment before his pace quickens once more. He grunts when I press my lips to his neck again, then open my mouth and bite down hard.

With a roar, he slams into me one last time before shuddering. I let go of his neck, and my head falls back onto the bed. I feel his cum fill me as he hovers over me, not moving. When he finally pulls away to meet my eyes, he’s breathing heavily.

His black eyes are gone, instead, his pretty ocean eyes are looking back at me. He smiles softly as he gently pulls out of me. “ Are you okay, Little Snow Bunny ?”

My emotions are swirling so fast within me, I feel as if I’m in the center of a tornado. I don’t even realize I'm crying until he coos, “ Shh , it’s okay. I’m here. Shh .”

He rolls off the bed and gathers me in his arms, holding me close as he carries me into my bathroom. He sets me on the closed toilet seat before turning on the shower. Once the water is to his liking, he comes back over.

He gathers me in his arms and walks into the shower with me cuddled close. “ I’m sorry,” I hiccup.

“ Shh , no need to apologize. I shouldn’t have been that intense, forgive me. The darkness can be hard to control at times, especially after hours of torturing a person.” He sighs and adds, “ I usually find one of the guys to spar with until the darkness recedes.”

“ But I found you before you could find them, didn’t I ?”

Now that I’ve calmed some, he sets me down. “ Yes ,” he says sadly. He begins washing my body with care, his brows pinched, as he ensures every inch of skin is taken care of.

“ Ash ,” I whisper.

He hums, refusing to look me in the eyes. Not liking the turn in his mood, I place my hands on his cheeks, forcing him to meet my gaze. His eyes look haunted when they meet mine. “ I didn’t say no.”

His eyes close on a sigh as my thumbs caress his cheeks. “ I didn’t give you much of a choice.”

“ Hey , look at me.” His eyes slowly open to peer down at me, and I give him a smirk. “ I didn’t say no. Do you think for a moment that if I had said no, REALLY said no and meant it, you would have continued?”

His eyes shift away from me before he shakes his head. “ No .”

Pulling my hands from his face, I give his nose a boop. “ Then give me a smile.”

He rolls his eyes but smiles anyways. I grab for a washcloth, soaping it up. “ Now , let’s get all this blood off of you.”

He groans, then shakes his head and chuckles. “ I can’t believe I fucked you with another man’s blood on me.”

I begin washing his body as I say, “ Yeah … let’s not do that again.”

He arches a brow with a smirk. “ What if it’s my blood?”

I smack him with the washcloth. “ Ash !”

He laughs and shrugs. “ Just trying to feel out the boundaries.”

Shaking my head, I sigh. “ We will see.”
