Chapter 134 Bonds Within Bonds
?I whispered and switched off my flames.
"Ahh!!" A sudden scream entered my ears. I looked around, stood up, grabbed the body by its eye sockets and pulled it out of the concrete, and dragged it towards the direction of the scream.
I didn't need to guess to know who the person screaming was and who was inflicting the pain. I soon arrived at a clearing beside the burnt-up corpses and saw a man writhing in flames while Nina watched from the side unfazed.
Seemingly noticing my presence she turned around towards my direction.
"You killed the last remaining one" I asked her before turning my attention to the man.
She nodded. "Hus… Husba-an-d" Her voice croaked as she turned her head and stared at me. Tears rolled down from her eyes continuously. Her eyes were red and puffy.
I sighed and dropped off the corpse before I walked towards her.
"I.. I--ts all my f-au-lt" Said, Nina bitterly.
I stretched out my hands and hugged her as she collapsed into my arms.
"Shhh.." I roamed my palm gently around her back, even though I had no idea what she was crying about. Though I had some guesses, now wasn't the right time to lay out my queries.
"Sniff!! S- -ni-ff!! You planned all this didn't you?" Nina whispered. Her breath clashing tickled against my bare neck. "You planned this all because at the end of the day, you knew that you would still get what you wanted".
No, I didn't!
All of what had just happened was beyond the scope of my control.
That was what I wanted to say. Those were the words I could have uttered if I didn't look at the woman laying weakly in my arms, I knew that she needed an outlet.
And so for once, I sealed my mouth shut.
She chuckled. "You did…. Sniff! From forcing me to come here for the sake of revenge, to driving me forcefully to reveal that secret earlier than I imagined, to killing everyone and saying that it was a mistake while you left the only person I hated alive. Somehow...." She shook her head. "I don't know how, but, you did it".
Yeah! That wasn't how it worked!
"Husband?" She held both my cheeks with her hands. I stared straight into her eyes as she started at mine.
"Do you love me?"
"…." Too sudden! The question came abruptly.
Come on, Wyatt! This is it!
This is the time that you get to have your first harem member fall in love with you. Come on, say it!
I pulled the stone that stood like a clog from my throat and uttered "Yes" I nodded. "I love you. I wouldn't have wanted to make you my spouse so badly if I didn't".
There is nothing inherently sweeter than attaining that which a man has longed for.
"Hmph!!" She hummed in an unfamiliar melodramatic tone. With our eyes still locked with each other, her lips parted, and curved.
She smiled. Her smile was so contagious that I couldn't help it, so I smiled back.
Yes, I knew that right now I looked like a man falling in love. And the only thing that could compare with that was a man who thinks with his dick. Fortunately for me, I am not the first nor will I be the last to break the record and do both.
"Husband?" Her voice somehow sweetened.
An uneasiness suddenly crept into my heart. Regardless…"Yeah"
"I want a favour..…. All I want is a simple favour to know how much you love me". ƒ𝑟𝙚e𝔀𝗲𝒃n𝒐𝘷𝗲Ɩ.c𝗼𝚖
I would have outright rejected it, "And, what is it?". But I didn't!
Should I have made her remember that I owned her and so her requests and feelings don't matter? Sure! It was easy to say such a thing, but, that would have been stupid. Especially to a woman I plan to spend a very long time together with.
Nonetheless, I was curious.
"I.." She seemed conflicted over something, before shaking her head with a resolute expression on her face "I want to complete my revenge, by destroying the Sloywoth kingdom" She slightly wavered and paused.
I pulled her to my chest and ran my hand through her hair.
I said. "No". I could feel her body tremble.
Regardless, I continued "That's what I would have said if I hadn't forcefully carried you here and killed everyone in sight just after invading their territory... And besides, they have already come for you once, and once they find out what has happened here, they will track you again if they manage to link it to you".
Her eyes widened. "You mean!!" Her breathing hitched.
I resisted the urge to laugh at her expression."Yes," I nodded. "You are mine. So everything you own shouldn't be an exception too".
"You- Y-ou would really do that, for me?" Her eyes grew teary.
I nodded my head."Yes".
She shivered in my arms and wrapped her hands around my waist. I could even feel her two squishy lumps of brea --
Come on, restrain yourself, man!
I immediately diverted my thoughts to something else upon noticing the amount of blood pointing through my dick.
"Thank you!" Nina stared at me, and I noticed her mouth was hung open, as droplets of tears stung the corner of her face.
Instinctively, I plucked those tears off.
"Darling…. You are not as bad as you seem".
I couldn't help but doubt what I had just heard.
"How so?"
She smiled. "You mostly come off as a proud and uncaring man, with the curiosity of a child and the temperament of a cautious old man". Her smile remained unchanged "You also behave like a perverted idiot at times who want to do nothing else but sleep with as many women as he can count…".
She shook her head amusingly "If it wasn't for the mood, I would have already guessed that a perverse thought was currently running through your head".
I almost coughed. Almost. I held it back and pushed it down my throat.
She was right, but at the same, she was also wrong.
I want to fuck as many women as I could count. That was my goal, with the demi-humans still on the waiting list for my SIWLTB campaign -Species I Would Like To Bang.
But, there wasn't any need for her to know that.
Still… "But what if you are wrong?".
Nina snorted "Even if I am wrong, then it doesn't matter because you already own me....". Again, she laughed, softly "That sounded better in my head".
I might not be an expert, but I know that this is not Stockholm syndrome. And if you doubt it, prove to me how it is!
"Besides…." Nina continued, "Changing your temperament and attitude might take a lot of work and effort, so I will do the one I…. think…. I know how to do best".
"And what is that?" Curiosity peaked within me.
She separated her body from me and walked a few distances away backwards. She turned her head to the side meekly and allowed her hands to travel up to the top of her blouse and slowly unbuttoned them to the last button. The cold breeze forcefully blew her blouse opened and revealed the confined apples hiding beneath them.
I gestured to myself. "Are you offering yourself to me?".
Silence spread across the charred warehouse.
She nodded submissively. "Yes, I am".
The silence stretched.
I laughed.
"I own you" I repeated. "Did you forget that I own you and can get whatever you are offering whenever I like?".
"... Yes ...I know" A sudden amount of confidence leaked from her body. "But, I also know that you won't... because… because if you wanted, then you would have taken me this night or waited for any other day to take me... but you didn't and instead catered to my feelings because you know the difference between forcing yourself upon a woman and letting her willingly offer herself".
"And that somehow makes you think that I can't do both".
"You can, but you won't" Nina shook her head. "Besides, wasn't that the reason why you would rather pay to sleep with some prostitutes than drag any woman you want off the streets and have your way with her".
"Oh! I wonder where you getting your confidence from" I said "But, don't be surprised when I do".
"I won't".
"Fine!" I approached her and halted my steps right in front of her. Her face creased.
I rose my hands and watched as she nervously waited for me to touch her.
And I did. I touched her!
The woman in front of me trembled.
"You naughty girl" I grabbed her nose between my knuckles. "Look around your surroundings first before you start offering me your body".
She stared around in confusion before realization struck her face.
I turned around and strolled forward. "Let's go... We have already wasted enough time here. And besides, I--"
