"That was the original plan," Ravi admitted, his voice dropping into something colder and more dangerous. "But the second I saw you, I got what I really wanted. Now you're going to be very useful for a while."
He crawled fully over her oil-slicked body, pinning her down with his weight. Aine tried to move her arm, but he caught her wrist in a bruising grip and slammed it above her head. His heavy, muscular body settled between her thighs, pressing her deeper into the mattress. The thick, hard bulge of his erection ground deliberately against her core, letting her feel exactly how much he wanted her.
"Please don't…" she pleaded desperately. "I already have a boyfriend."
Ravi laughed darkly, the sound vibrating against her skin as he rocked his hips forward, rubbing his throbbing cock against her with slow, filthy intent.
"You think I give a fuck about your little boyfriend?" he sneered, his breath hot against her ear. "Don't worry, princess. I'm not going to fuck you properly tonight."
His hand slid down her body, roughly groping her breasts, pinching and twisting her nipples until she gasped in pain and unwanted sensation.
"Not yet," he whispered, grinding harder against her. "I just want to check if I can still stand today… and right now, I'm standing very well."
Aine's voice trembled as she whispered, "Please take the blindfold off already."
Ravi's dark chuckle echoed through the room, low and menacing. "No," he said coldly, his tone leaving no room for argument. "I don't want you to see my face yet. You'll look at me only when I allow it not a second sooner."
"Don't touch me," she begged.
"Are you protesting?" Ravi asked, his voice laced with cruel amusement. "How adorable."
"Sir, I've not wronged you in any way," Aine pleaded desperately.
"You think that matters to me?" Ravi growled, his voice dropping into something far more dangerous. "If only your pathetic father had paid what he owed, you wouldn't be lying here like a helpless little whore, completely at my mercy."
Tears soaked through the blindfold and streamed down Aine's cheeks. She couldn't see anything, only feel his overwhelming, suffocating presence. Without warning, Ravi's large, rough hand seized her breast, squeezing it with brutal possessiveness. His fingers clamped down hard on her nipple, pinching and twisting the sensitive peak mercilessly until sharp pain shot through her body.
Aine cried out. Before she could even catch her breath, Ravi's hot mouth attacked her chest. He sucked her other nipple between his lips with savage hunger, his tongue swirling before his teeth sank in, biting hard enough to make her entire body jerk. She moaned involuntarily, the sound humiliating her even further.
His mouth moved upward with relentless intent, latching onto her neck. He sucked and bit her tender skin with ruthless ownership, marking her throat with dark, angry hickeys as if he were branding her as his property.
Ravi pressed his heavy body fully against hers, pinning her down completely. His lips brushed her ear as he spoke in a deep, commanding whisper:
"You're mine now, Aine. Every inch of this body belongs to me. Every whimper, every tear, every moan they're all mine. You'll learn quickly that when I want something, I take it."
"Tesni." Jokull turned to her the moment they were inside, his voice tight and focused. "Tell me everything you saw. Did you get a look at his face?"
Tesni shook her head, pressing her hands together. "He had an umbrella. I could not see his face at all."
The officer behind the desk leaned back in his chair with the particular brand of indifference that came from a man who had decided before they walked in that this was not his problem.
"Without sufficient details I am afraid we cannot initiate a search."
Tesni stared at him. "I am sorry?" She took one step forward, her voice shaking but not from fear. "Do you think I came here to waste my time making up a story? People have taken my sister. They took her right in front of me and you are sitting there telling me you will not even look for her?"
"That is correct," the officer said. "Without details—"
He did not finish the sentence.
Jokull moved before anyone in the room could process it. The slap cracked through the air and then his hand was at the man's collar, hauling him forward across the desk with a force that sent everything on it sliding.
Tesni had never seen him like this. Not once. Jokull was always the composed one, the one who controlled every room he entered without raising his voice. Whatever this was, it lived somewhere beneath all of that and it had been waiting.
"Listen to me," Jokull said, his voice low and trembling with something barely leashed. "You foul excuse for an officer."
"You are in a police station," the man managed, his face pale. "Mister."
"I am telling you to run a search." His grip tightened. "And you are saying what to me?"
"Jokull." Tesni's voice cut through carefully. "Let go of his collar."
A beat passed. Then another. He released him slowly, stepping back, his chest rising and falling hard.
The officer straightened himself with as much dignity as he could recover and smoothed his uniform. "It is very simple. No detailed information, no search. Now leave before I have you put behind bars."
Jokull looked at him for a long moment. Then he swept everything remaining on the desk clean off with one arm, the crash of it echoing through the station.
"Jokull." Tesni stepped between him and the desk. "Let us go."
Outside the night air was cold and damp and offered nothing. Tesni pulled her arms around herself and turned to him.
"Jokull. Calm down."
"How do you expect me to calm down?" He turned away from her, pressing a hand against the side of his head, his voice cracking at the edges. "We have been to every station in this area. Every single one. And they are all saying the same thing. Without information they will not search." He stopped moving and stood with his back to her, his shoulders tense and high. "She is out there, Tesni."
Tesni was quiet for a moment. Then she said carefully, "The person. He looked like someone important. Someone with serious power behind him."
