AVA

A feather light touch skims my skin, as if someone's delicately petting me. It's soothing, pulling me further back into slumber. Did I work a double yesterday? My brows scrunch in sleepily confusion as I wonder if I have an early shift at the diner this morning. I stretch my arms, groaning as the muscles become taut - the pull feeling exquisite. As I shift my stretch lower, there's a sharp burning agony that makes itself known between my thighs. My foggy brain takes a moment to recall my nightmare and current prisoner state, and self-loathing engulfs me as my mind replays the hours of being raped the night before.

My eyes snap open as everything hits me at once. My stomach recoils at the horrors I was forced to live. As I come to, I hear the soft murmuring, turning slightly to see that Kiel is sitting on the edge of my bed. He is the one petting me like the good lap dog that I am. Seeing me stir awake, his gaze is pulled away from my naked chest. He looks me in the eyes as a delirious and deranged smile crosses his face.

He cups my cheek. "My pet, did you sleep well?" I nod my head, having no nice words. I'm not sure I can handle another round of Kiel-style punishment.

His caressing continues. Languidly, his finger travels to my breast, circling my nipple. I want to push his hand away, but it's easier to let him do as he pleases. I wait, his eager expression blooming dread that begins seeping into my muscles.

"I must say, my sweet, that you were perfection last night! It made me see you in a new light. You were everything I needed you to be and so much more. By the end of the night the investors were throwing millions at me." He chuckles, still circling my nipple. He leans down, placing a sweet gentle kiss on my forehead as he tweaks my nipple. His twisted version of affection.

"I brought you something." Is it wrong to hope he brought a syringe filled with the stuff that makes me forget? Maybe this time it will be enough to make this all end. The thoughts diminish as he hands me a small white pill. I tentatively take it and he sees the questions lingering in my eyes as I hesitate to bring this unknown pill to my mouth.

His eyes harden at my slowness to follow his silent order. "Take it" he demands. "We don't want any accidents from last night's festivities."

I look from him to the small pill I hold, quickly swallowing what I now know to be the morning after pill. Something changes in his eyes as he watches my throat bob taking the pill to my empty stomach. It's an unidentifiable emotion, raising goosebumps on my skin and pebbling my nipples. Kiel takes this reaction as my enjoyment of his touch and continues to draw lazy circles around my nipples.

"After watching how enthralled my investors were with you, my pet. And seeing them heavily lusting for your magical golden pussy, when they have whores and wives to please them, I could see how much they envied me." Rubbing my thigh, he sounded manic as he continued, "I realized that my empire is missing something. A key to my legacy." Excitement leaching into each syllable furthers my apprehension with each word he spoke.

Suddenly stopping, he places his hands on either side of my face, bending so our lips almost brush as he speaks.

"I figured out my next move. And my pet, you are an integral piece to this long-term plan." Winding his fingers in my hair, he forces us to sit. "The casual chats showed me a weak link in my kingdom. My investors. My competitors. They all have one thing I do not, and you will be doing me a grand honor providing what will strengthen my reign."

Staring deeply into my eyes, he is watching me as any predator would do. He is looking to see if I show any uncertainty in his grandiose plan. Keeping my face blank, voiding the emotion in my eyes, he seems satisfied as he grips my hair, causing a sharp pain as he takes my mouth in a sloppy kiss, biting at my lips as he pulls away, panting heavy with pleasure.

"You, my darling pet, will be the mother of my new empire." I freeze. This monster expects me to be a breeding mare for him, and willingly subject any child I have to live in this hell on earth. He is fucking delusional. I pray that none of my internal musings show on my face.

"So, my sweet, the pill will ensure no mixing of bloodline. I'd hate for someone else's brat to lead my future empire." He is smug about this.

I'm not worried about accidental pregnancy. Not long after Eliott raped me, I had an IUD put in - better to be safe than to wind up pregnant with a rape child. The only time I worried was after Cal and I had sex that first time, so I hit a pharmacy, and I took the morning after pill, just as a secondary precaution. Schooling my features to be void of emotion as I turn to Kiel, I simply nod my acceptance of his crazy plan. No one is coming to save me. I'm not even sure my brothers can.

He firmly grabs my face "Are you on birth control?" I still, not wanting to give myself away. Squeezing my face harder, his monster starts to flare in his eyes. "Now, is not the time to lie, my pet. You are going to ruin our beautiful morning." He harshly whispers, "Are you using birth control?" I shake my head.

"No" I spit out.

I watch in pure horror as the monster fully engulfs Kiel. His patience snaps, his grip tightens on my cheeks, so much that I fear he is going to break my jaw. He tsks me, shaking his head in pure disappointment, releasing my face to sit fully up.

"My sweet, sweet pet. Do you think I am stupid?" He cocks his brow. "I know everything about you. Did you not think that I dug up every single spec of dirt, intel and minuscule detail about your existence the moment Callum began his obsession with you." Flinching at Cal's name on his lips. I watch indecision flash across his face. "I'm not keen on giving a second chance, but you did so well and made me so very proud, I'm willing this once to make an exception … but just for you my pet. Now, last time. Do you have contraceptive?"

Gritting my teeth, I shake my head again. Kiel's demeanor switches, his voice chills. "I know you have one and this is GOING to happen." I don't see it coming as he backhands me. Blood feels my mouth as his hand latches to my throat.

"You are going to regret your disobedience … but me," He chuckles. "I'm going to very much enjoy this."

I feel his hand tighten around my throat as his weight shifts. His arm snaps back suddenly, taking me by surprise as his knuckles make contact with my cheek. My vision goes fuzzy. The room spins, so I shut my eyes to keep the nausea at bay. I don't see Kiel lean down until I feel his tongue lick the inside of my upper arm, as his fingers trace from my elbow to my wrist. His grip tightens, pinning my arm in place and squeezing my throat in warning. He licks my lips, biting them and leaving his teeth marks on my lower lip. After releasing my mouth, Kiel smirks before starting to place gentle kisses down my neck and arm.

I relax into his hold, eagerly hoping to convey my acceptance of his touch, leading Kiel to believe that I'd be pleased with being the role of his children's mother. I feel him still, as though he doesn't know what to make of my welcoming body language. He pulls back, squeezing my throat. I don't react. I lay there compliant and willing to take what he gives.

A chilling smile takes over his face. He releases my throat to reach down to unzip his dark blue pants, pulling out his engorged cock, precum glistening on the head. I watch as he methodically and firmly grips the base slowly bringing his hand to the tip, causing a flood of precum to seep out. Kiel takes his finger, wipes it over the fat mushroom head, gathering the liquid before slowly painting my lips with his precum. Licking my face, he harshly whispers: "You're mine."

The saltiness leaks into my mouth, a taste I desperately want to forget. Mentally, I am trying to con myself into believing it's sour cream that has turned - wishful thinking on my part. I don't feel his mouth move from my neck until he sinks his teeth into my upper arm. He bites so hard that I feel his teeth gnash together, cutting through muscle. Not moving, he lets my blood fill his mouth as his cock slides through my folds bumping my clit over and over. Then, he suddenly wrenches his head backwards.

A silent scream slashes from my mouth as blood pours from the jagged gaping wound painting the white duvet and sheets in crimson. My back bows as the agony whips through my nerve endings, Kiel times it perfectly, ramming his cock inside of me before my back can hit the bed again. I'm overloaded with excruciating pain, tears slide in waves from the corner of my eyes. My legs are sliding up and down in the hopes to dislodge the beast.

A groan of satisfaction reverberates from Kiel as he pounds into me, not holding back his strength. The screams cascade from my salty lips as he continues to shove his cock in my raw and swollen vagina. My shrieks only spur him on, groans of pleasure fill the room along with the smacking of flesh. Gripping my throat, he tightens his hold.

"Open your eyes." My eyes snap open. His maniacal grin shines through the blurry tears clouding my vision. "You think you could lie with no consequence." His deranged laughter rings in my ears. My vision goes dark as rough material is hastily whipped over my face. To my dismay, he has cleared the tears that were shielding my brain from this moment. Blood runs down his lips and neck; the tip of his tongue sneaks out to take a taste of the blood sitting in the corner of his fucked up smile.

His hips smashing into me over and over, his breath coming out in small pants. "You will carry my seed." Slams into me. "We will build an empire …. a legacy for all to envy." He groans. His hand slides down from my throat to pinch and tweak my nipples. To my disgust, my body flutters in pleasure.

Kiel takes notice and smirks. Letting go of my wrist, he dips his finger in the still bleeding wound, trailing his bloody finger down my body marking me with my blood as he goes. His bloody finger finally stops and begins to circle my clit. He primes my body to force pleasure as he rapes me again. I feel the impending orgasm, desperate to stop it from happening but knowing that nothing will stop Kiel. He is relentless, playing with my clit and twisting my nipples until I'm gushing, writhing and moaning beneath him.

He begins ramming harder and harder, my orgasm seemingly pushing him to the edge of his pleasure. His grunts come out in rapid session until he bruisingly slams into me a final time. I feel his seed pulsating into me and attempt to hold back the horrific tears. Kiel's eyes open, a different light flashes in his eyes as he looks down at me before leaning closer, licking the salty tears that travel down my face.

"You will be the perfect mother," he whispers softly. He pulls out, stands tucking himself back into his pants. Walking to the door, he turns, shaking his head. "Clean up this mess."

I hear the hushed snick of the door and fall to pieces. My body is a bruised and battered mess from being used as a cum bucket for two days. My arm throbs where Kiel removed a small chunk of skin. Sitting up, wincing at the burn that makes itself known between my thighs, I prod the bite - and to my utter misery, Kiel bit out my contraceptive device.

There was no scar or noticeable incision mark. How the hell did he figure it out? The repercussions of what this means slams into me. What miniscule part of me that was still intact fractured at the knowledge of what my fate has become. I fear looking in the mirror, picturing something straight from some horror movie. A shell of a tortured victim, sitting in the middle of this posh and opulent room on a scarlet, chromatic duvet that was once a beautiful snow white. Dejected. No more tears to shed.

Desperation takes hold. Is there anything in this showy prison that will shorten my time?

Can I take my own life? Yes, yes I can. If the alternative is to birth Kiel's legacy, I wouldn't even hesitate. I pause. I have no qualms about ending my tortuous future, but will my brothers understand? No, I can't think of them. I can't think of what ifs. I need to survive this … I just don't know how long I can withstand this hellhole I'm trapped in.
