Darkness of Heart

Adam stared up at her in shock, his firm grip keeping just enough of a distance between them for him to breathe. After a moment, his shock melted away and his teeth flashed with his cruel grin. His grip tightened on her arms and he had the pleasure of seeing her cringe as a whispered whimper passed over her lips.

"What makes you so certain I want anything to do with you?"

"Because," Rose returned, her growl darkening her tone. "I'm the only one in this pathetic excuse of a town that knows and can give you exactly what you want." Through clenched teeth, she added, "What we both know you need..."

Adam closed his eyes a moment when a burst of wind encased them. On instinct alone, he jerked her closer to him, her body nearly molding itself against his own. He breathed in the scent of her oriental perfume, his hand going to her head to fist her hair tightly. He heard her quiet moan as she reacted very similarly to him at the pain. When the wind died down, Adam glanced around the dark room.

Rose sat up and lifted her arm, moving her palm to face flat out as she swept it around the room. Candles sprung to life casting their red-orange glow upon everything that could be seen. Blinking his eyes, Adam sat up and looked around at the types of chains and collars hung up on one wall. Whips daggled on another. A drawer beside the bed opened to reveal an assortment of toys and lubes and oils. Everything that would be needed for a very wild night. As he thought more, he realized how she managed to do her job so well. She was always the one in control. Not this time. This time, Adam was going to take his vengenace upon her the only way he knew how; with pain and violence. He would make her scream.

"Hope you are ready," she said, teasing him with a slight grind of her hips to make him squirm. Her smile faded when his grip returned to her arms, tightening painfully once more.

"No, babe, I hope you're ready..."

Rose gave out a slight cry as Adam's powerful legs pushed him up and to the side so he could pin her to the bed. He secured a grip on her wrists above her head with one hand while the other reached for a set of handcuffs he could see in the drawer. Without a word, he pulled her up to fasten the handcuffs around her wrists behind her back. He sat with his knees on either side of her legs to keep her from kicking him as he produced a ball gag from the same drawer and positioned it against her mouth.

"You have spent a great deal of energy in torturing me. I also know that you have enjoyed every moment of my pain. Tonight, however, I will be the one taking pleasure in causing pain to you," Adam told her darkly as he leaned over her. The back of one hand brushed against the side of her face and trailed against the side of her neck. He turned his hand around to cup the side of her breast as his sudden hunger began to tighten its hold on him.

Rose stared up at him with with uncertainty reflecting uncharacteristically in her eyes. A part of her wondered just how far she had pushed him this time with her tricks. She began to wonder if he was not completely mentally stable.

Your highness, this is highly unlike you.

Adam gave her his cruelest smirk yet. "You are a fool to believe that. The things I used to do back in the day... Yes, it has been a very long time, but I have not forgotten how to take pleasure in the sins of the flesh... and as you so kindly reminded me, my wife is now dead, leaving me free to take in those pleasures once again."

A startled moan became muffled behind the ball gag as his mouth attached her throat. She had been prepared for instant pain, but instead found her ruby eyes closing at his touch. Tilting her head back, she allowed him the extra room to continue his kisses down her neck and across her collarbone. At her shoulder, she felt his teeth nip harder than most and she bit down on the gag. There was a tearing sound as he ripped the front of her top down to expose her chest to his hungry lips.

She cursed the gag as his tongue lashed at her taunt nipple, stirring a heated sensation within her body as her stomach tightened. His hand caressed her other breast, his thumb teasing the nipple on that one as well earning a whimper from his captive. She did take notice that he had not placed his full weight upon her so as not to injure her arms still secured behind her back. Her surprise by the fact vanished instantly when she felt him remove his hand from her breast and slowly trail it over her toned abdomen. Against her will, her muscles quivered under his touch and she could feel her body reacting in several ways to him. When his fingers slid past her short skirt to her thigh, her teeth clenched. With ease, he pushed the skirt up to reveal her black lace thong covering his prize.

Adam's fingers grazed over her womanhood, relishing the musky scent as her body continued to react to his touch. She began to squirm as his fingers slid easily over her hardened nub of nerves and he could hear her breath catch as she arched her back again. Still gripping her breast with his one hand, Adam moved lower, burying his head between her legs. Her startled cry remained muffled behind the ball gag as his tongue danced over the petal soft folds and he inserted two fingers into her wetness. Rose's body shivered and she cried out around the gag again as his fingertips passed over her innermost senstive spot, causing her hips to buck against him. Her teeth clenched around the ball gag when she heard his dark laughter. She hated playing the submissive. Used to being in control, she was never the one to just lay back and take what was being done. It gave her a sense of lost control. It was not something she particularly enjoyed; especially when the one pleasuring her was the one she was meant to destroy.

Adam savored her taste a while longer before his own arousal begged for attention. Releasing his hold on her her reached down to free his manhood before moving to grip her by her arms to help her sit up. Rose arched an eyebrow at him quizzically a moment as he removed the gag from her mouth.

"Sure you wish to be doing that?" she chided with a sly grin.

"Yes," he returned evenly. "That mouth won't be empty for long." With added pressure, he brought Rose off the edge of the bed and to her knees in front of him.

Gazing down at her, he watched as understanding flashed into her eyes. She cringed and gasped when he fisted her hair tightly and twisted it around his hand for more control over her movements. Her tongue slid over her darkly panted red lips before the tip of his arousal touched them. Teasingly, she use her tongue to stir more of his already wild fire, flicking it over his member and sliding down the shaft. She grinned when she heard the moan he barely held back when she expertly began to suckle his sac. Even on her knees, she would be able to gain at least a small amount of control. For a moment anyway. With a quick tug, she was forced to release him after a few moments.

"What's the matter, your highness? Can't take what you were so willing to dish out?" His crimson eyes sparked with his dark fire when he looked down upon her, but her own darkness matched him. Wetting her lips again, she moved forward of her own accord to cover the tip of his manhood with her mouth. She did not react this time to the pain as her hair was pulled again when he tightened his grip in response to the warm, moist heat surrounding him. Moving slow at first, she slid her lips farther down his shaft, preparing herself by relaxing the back of her throat.

Adam's head fell back and his eyes closed as she took all of him deeply into her mouth before pulling back and doing it all over again. She was being slow and deliberate, but he was not in the mood for slow. After allowing her to take her time for a brief moment, his grip tightened again, causing a quiet gasp and he thrust hiself forward into her mouth at his own pace. The faintest touch of her teeth added to the sesnations flooding his mind, and against her wishes, she allowed him his control again. The time past quickly before he was ready for something new and she was plopped upon the bed once more. She growled quietly as the gag went into her mouth again. He positioned her upon her knees with her butt up in the air, her face upon the bed. Rose turned her head to one side so she could still breathe and tried to relax as best she could with her hands still secured behind her. Mentally she noted to never keep handcufs in sight of a victim again. Especially a victim filled with this kind of sudden darkness.

Adam's hand slid down her back and over her toned derriere, cupping it first with one hand and then with both. He grinned slyly at her muffled cry when he lifted a hand and gave her a quick spank. He continued to fondle her backside as his movements began to raise the short short that had fallen back into place when he had her on her knees on the floor. There was another cry when his hand connected with the bare flesh again, this time leaving a small red mark behind. A smirk quirked his lips and he leand forward to kiss one cheek. Rose cringed and gasped again when she felt his teeth nip as well. It was torture; pure sexual torture and she was not sure she could take much more.

Rose felt her thong tear away from her body, leaving her completely vulnerable to him as his fingers did their dance over her sensative clit again. This time she felt more. She tried to relax herself as she felt his fingers dip inside her again, stirring up the lubricating juices as he stimulated her to a shuddering climax with his fingers alone. Her wrists burned as they rubbed against the cuffs; her cry of passion cut back by the gag. Her breath stilled when she felt the lubricated fingers touch her back entrance and winced slightly as he inserted first one finger, then two, stretching her and preparing her for more. She began to realize that it was not exactly what he was doing to her that had her so angry about the situation, but the fact that he was being so quiet about it. Aside from some dark laughter here and there everytime her body reacted to him, he remained perfectly silent. She realized then that he could possibly be as cold and calculating as she... if not more so.

The gag blocked her sudden cry when she felt his arousal press against her back entrance and slowly enter her. Her eyes squeezed tightly shut and she fought to relax her body even more as he continue to press deeper until he was completely within her. She heard his groan as he rested a moment before beginning to move, pulling almost completely free before plunging back inside again. She felt one of his hands grip her cuffs, lifting her slightly off the bed for a bit more comfort as he quickened his pace. Glancing over at the drawer he spotted one more thing that brought a smile to his lips.

Rose hated the whimper that came from her throat when he pulled completely from her for a moment. Her eyes closed and she took a breath only to freeze when she felt something wrap around her legs, securing another toy into place. Adam chuckled as he inserted the attached vibrating toy and made sure that her entire womanhood would be affected by the vibration created by it. Rose swallowed hard, her eyes rolling upward at the sensation as the lower half of her body seemed to come alive. She could instantly feel the heat building within her increased even more when he brought up the speed of the vibration. She missed him reaching for her dagger, but she did not miss that first scratch of pain as he slid the dagger down her back, leaving a small blood trail down her back. The pain combined with the vibration made her want to scream, but she refused to give in to him like that. She knew it was what he wanted. But she could not allow herself to give in.

Adam leaned closer to whisper in her ear as he dragged the blade over her skin again. "You enjoy bringing pain to others. You never gave thought to the day one would turn that pain upon you. Now I have you, Rose. You will live knowing that I have brought you to a place where no one else has ever, or will ever bring you. We ever meet again after this day, you will fear the consequences of any actons you take. That is a promise. And as a royal, you know how we are with our promises..."

Rose's head snapped back nearly striking his as her body shuddered and succumbed to waves of ribbling heat. She bit her tongue on the scream that begged to be heard. The dagger's blade moved over her skin again as his lips trailed over her trembling shoulders.

"Scream for me, Rose," he taunted her with a deadly whisper. His smirk was just as dark as he moved against her again. "Scream for me, my dangerous flower..." He chuckled as she cried out behind the ball gag when he pressed deep within her back entrance again. Adam's own groan slipped out as the vibrations rippled over his member causing him to react violently, thrusting deeper and harder into her.

Adam's hands gripped her waist to steady her so as not to do permanate damage as he continued to plunge into her with increasing speed. Rose's body shuddered again nearly buckling under the pressure of his thrusts and the vibrator still running within her other opening. The pressure began to build again and this time she could not hold back as it exploded like white lightning behind her eyes. The gag may have muffled it, but her cries turned to screams as he continued. Adam gave a sudden groan as he pulled free, gripping himself tightly with one hand as his own climax came. Clenching his teeth, he stroked himself as his ejaculate cascaded upon her backside and lower back.

He wiped sweat from his brow and gazed over her body still trembling upon the bed before he removed the vibrating device from her and tossed it carelessly to the side. He heard her gasping quietly for her breath as her eyes remained closed. With a slight push, he moved her to rest on her side in a slightly more comfortable position. Her eyes opened slightly and she looked up at him meekly. He almost felt bad for her. Almost.

"Seems you were right, after all. I did need that..."

Leaning over the bed, his lips touched her shoulder again, his tongue licking at a trail of blood from one of the wounds he had created upon her body. The coppery taste charged his body in a way he could not explain, way he had never quite experienced before. He felt her shudder and try to squirm away from him and he chuckled quietly near her ear.

"Dangerous flower... you thought you would have me. But you see that it is I who has had you. It will be this way always, so think twice before coming my way again, do you hear me?" Rose closed her eyes and nodded stiffly, cringing again when his tongue touched her skin once more. "Good. Now, do yourself a favor an rest. I'm sure you will be needing a clear head when you face your superiors come the morn."

Adam reached up and pressed a spot near Rose's neck. A pressure point Sapphira had once taught him during their training back before her death. Almost instntly, Rose stilled, her breath evening out as a deep sleep overcame her. Satisfed that she was out, Adam turned to gather his things and get dressed. He was not certain where she had taken them, but he was confident he could find his way home once he got outside. He gave her not a second look as he left the room that night. He did not feel bad about leaving her behind, either. Inside his heart...

He felt nothing...
