Chapter 5
Lucien Blackthorn circled her slowly, violet eyes scanning her body as though memorizing every curve, every tremble, every gasp. His presence alone was dominating, intoxicating, and terrifyingly erotic. Selene could feel it in the quiver of her thighs, the rapid beat of her heart, and the heat pooling low in her body.
"You are trembling," he murmured, voice low and commanding, each syllable rolling over her like silk and fire. "Not from fear alone… from anticipation, from need. You crave my control, don't you?"
"Yes… master… I crave it," she gasped, shivering violently, pressing instinctively into his body despite the ropes holding her in place. "I… I need you…"
Lucien's lips curved into a dark, predatory smile. "Good girl. Desire is not weakness. Obedience… submission… surrender… these are your tools. And tonight… I will show you exactly how to wield them."
He leaned down, his lips brushing the sensitive skin of her neck, teeth grazing softly, eliciting a shiver that raced down her spine. His hands moved with masterful precision, tracing over her curves, teasing, claiming, asserting dominance.
"You will learn… that your every gasp, every shiver, every moan… is mine to command," he whispered. "Do you understand?"
"Yes… master… it belongs to you," she moaned, body trembling, every nerve alive with erotic tension and desire.
Lucien's hand slid between her thighs, brushing lightly over the delicate skin, careful yet deliberate, testing boundaries, teasing, igniting waves of burning need. Selene gasped sharply, hips arching instinctively, pressing into the touch she both feared and craved.
"You are exquisite," he murmured, eyes dark with violet fire. "Every reaction, every tremble, every gasp… proves your submission. And now… you will endure more. You will feel… more. You will crave… more."
The ropes binding her were tightened slightly, deliberate, calculated, making every brush of his hands against her skin sharper, more intense. Selene moaned, trembling violently, lost in pleasure, anticipation, and the delicious torment of restraint.
"Do you know what comes next?" he asked, voice low, dangerous, velvety.
"No… master… please… teach me…" she moaned, body quivering uncontrollably.
Lucien's fingers teased along her inner thighs, brushing just above the sensitive skin. "Patience is part of submission," he whispered. "Every second you wait… every shiver you endure… heightens your desire. And your obedience… pleases me."
"Yes… master… I obey… I… please…" she gasped, hips pressing into his hands despite the restraints.
A soft noise at the door caught his attention. Lucien's eyes flickered, sharp and alert. Selene shivered violently, pulse spiking. The sound was deliberate, confident… teasing.
Lucien pressed a hand against her lower back, steadying her. "Do not fear," he murmured. "But remember… obedience is your shield. Trust me, Selene… and submit fully."
Selene trembled, caught between the exquisite pleasure of his dominance and the suspense of the unknown intruder. Her body was taut, every nerve alive, and every shiver a testament to the intoxicating control he had over her.
Lucien's hands moved again, teasing, claiming, testing limits. "You will learn tonight… that submission is not weakness. It is power. Your desire… your obedience… every gasp and moan… is strength. Do you understand?"
"Yes… master… I… understand," she moaned, body arching, trembling violently, utterly consumed by his presence, his touch, his control.
He leaned close, lips brushing her ear. "Good. And now… the true lesson begins."
Lucien retrieved a thin riding crop from a hidden pocket, letting it trace along her thighs, across her back, and along her inner arms. Selene gasped sharply at the sensation—equal parts pain, pleasure, and anticipation. Each brush of the crop against her skin elicited trembles, moans, and shivers.
"Each strike, each touch, each command… is for you," he murmured, voice low and deliberate. "You will endure it, and you will crave it. And every time… you will remember… obedience is power. Surrender is ecstasy."
Selene's breath hitched, hips arching instinctively. "Yes… master… I… please…"
He struck her thigh lightly, deliberate, controlled, just enough to ignite flames of desire and anticipation. She moaned sharply, body trembling, utterly consumed by the erotic torment and powerplay.
And then… the knock came again, deliberate and confident. A shadow flickered outside the room, and Selene shivered violently, pulse racing with fear, desire, and curiosity.
Lucien's violet eyes darkened. "Do you trust me?" he whispered, lips brushing her ear, teeth grazing softly.
"Yes… master… I trust you completely," she gasped, body trembling, nerves alive with anticipation and erotic tension.
He smiled darkly. "Good. Because tonight… your submission will be tested. You will endure… and you will crave… and by the time this lesson is over, you will know… the true power of obedience."
The knock came once more, confident, teasing… and the chamber seemed to hold its breath. Selene shivered violently, completely at his mercy, caught between the pleasure of submission and the suspense of the unknown outside the door.
Her pulse raced, body alive with every nerve tingling, breath coming in ragged gasps. She was utterly consumed, utterly surrendered, and entirely captivated by the intoxicating dominance of the man before her.
