hey ya all! thank you for the reviews and for following/favoriting my story! It was just a crazy idea that came to me, I truly hoped you could like it :) also I wanted to say sorry for all the mistakes because english isn't my first language.
enjoy this chapter, let me know what you think and thank you again!
She was in her house, in her room, there wasn't any trace of the King. He had let her go. Why would he do such thing? She deserved to pay for stealing from his property, she deserved to be punished. But she did something, or better, she had something that pushed him to change his mind. She still wasn't sure what that was but she was grateful; thanks to that he had spared her life.
She thought for a second that maybe, just maybe, it had been all just a dream, a crazy, stupid dream; but then she looked at the piece of paper in her hand and remembered:
"Be mine. Forever."
God, she would have paid to hear that sentence coming from his mouth again, just to see his lips caressing those words one more time. He had completely charmed her, even if she didn't want to admit that to herself.
"Being my submissive means pleasuring me whenever I want."
Oh my god.
She looked at the contract, sat on her bed and started to read it carefully, being sure not to miss a single word. She had to interrupt her reading several times to take a breathe, to realise that it wasn't a joke, that she was truly gonna do all of that if she would have decided to sign. It was full of words capable of making her blush immediately, words that she didn't even know how to pronounce, words that she didn't even know what meant. And some others were scaring her like hell, like fisting, slapping, pinching hard.
A shiver passed through her back, shaking her body completely. She was afraid. She had never experienced something like that; she barely knew what sex was, she hand't been touched from anyone, ever, and now being asked to do such things... She was just afraid. Maybe she should have talked about her fears with the King, but how could she do that when she wasn't even able to say a word when he was with her?
«Regina?» a suffocated voice coming from her parent's bedroom immediately woke her up from her thoughts. Her father. She ran to him as fast as she could:
«father!» she hugged him with all of her strength, a tear escaping from her eyes as she noticed his conditions.
«you're back!» he whispered relieved, returning the hug.
«indeed. But I didn't take anything with me, I'm sorry.» she looked down, knowing that it was supposed to anticipate a lie: «the king's guards almost caught me. I'm sorry father.»
«you don't have to, Regina» he caressed her beautiful face, wiping away the tear that managed to run down her cheek «I would prefer dying than losing you.»
That sentence shook herworld, made the ground crumble under her feet. She couldn't let him do such a thing, she just couldn't. She wasn't strong enough to lose him, he was the person she loved the most. Of course she had a good relationship with her mother but she had always been a daddy's girl.
«you know, Regina I am so proud of you.» he whispered caressing her cheek again «you're the best thing ever happened to me» he got interrupted by a sigh «I love you, Regina.» she could see tears forming into his eyes and she knew the reason: he knew he was about to die, he didn't have much time left. She wanted to cry too but she had to be strong for him, she had a solution and she was going to use it for good. Cause her father was everything.
«dad.» she never called him like that, unless it was a very intimate moment «There's someone. Someone who can save you.» she let go, closing her eyes.
«what? Who?»
«The Dark One.» she confessed.
«you talked to The Dark One?» he exclaimed surprised. The tone would have been angry if he had the strength to have it. «why, Regina? Why would you put yourself in such a danger?!»
«I didn't look for it, he... He found me.» she looked down and blushed as the memories of how he had made her feel just minutes before. «it was... Fate, I guess. He told me he can heal you.»
«no, Regina, no. All the magic comes with a price when it comes to him. It's dangerous. He could ask whatever he wants, you never know what...»
«he doesn't want anything in return.» she cut him off. It was probably gonna be the biggest lie she had ever told him, especially because she wasn't used to lie, but she wouldn't let anything or anyone take her father away from her. «I gave him something he needed and he owns me a favour now.» she forced a smile and caressed him.
«what did you give to him?»
«all the money I got today.» she looked down for the millionth time, not able to stand his eyes, praying whoever was up there that he didn't notice she was lying.
«oh... Regina...»
«it wasn't very much but... He understands when someone is desperate. He's... He's not that bad.»
«Regina, you're talking about The Dark One.»
«I know but everyone tends to exaggerate when it comes to describing him.» she didn't know why but a smile formed on her lips while saying that sentence. She bit her bottom lip as she noticed, and hoped her father didn't.
«Are you sure we can trust him?»
«yes, father, I am. And honestly, I don't care: as long as he can save you I would give him whatever he wants» even if that meant being his sex slave. «we have nothing to lose.» she smiled for the last time before getting back up on her feet. «you should take some rest now, you know?»
The man giggled:
«yes, ma'am.»
She was in her bed, in the middle of the night and she couldn't sleep. She couldn't stop thinking about him, about the contract. She wanted to sign it, she wanted to be his. But something was stopping her, maybe the fact that they've knew each other only for a couple of minutes. What if he wasn't what he seemed? what if he was truly as evil as everyone was saying? She would have been fucked, literally, but at least her father would have been alive.
She looked at the contract, at the piece of paper she couldn't stop thinking of and his words came to her again:
"I wouldn't do anything that could possibly hurt you."
But the contract was full of horrible things, like spanking and spanking... Hard. She blushed as her mind dared to just imagine his hands on her legs, on her ass, squeezing it hard then slapping it, until the skin became as red as blood.
She looked down, where he had signed, and smiled. Robin. His name was Robin. Robin Hood. It wasn't that bad as a name, certainly not frightening as the monicker people gave him. It was... Kinda sweet.
«Robin.» she whispered in the dark, filling the emptiness of the room with her breathe. A big smile formed on her face but immediately dropped as she heard someone saying:
«at your service, milady.»
She jumped on her seat as she found him at the end of her bed, staring at her with amazed, almost hungry eyes, like she was the most precious jewel he had ever seen.
«what...?!» she exclaimed, suddenly blushing. She felt naked in front of him, even if she had on her pajama. It was kinda transparent, a little bit opened on the front, showing more than Regina wanted to. She wasn't expecting the king in her room, obviously. She immediately pulled the blankets to cover her body and heard him laugh:
«oh, Regina, if only you knew how beautiful you are.» he whispered walking closer to her side of the bed.
«I'm... I'm practically naked.»
«no, you're not. If so, trust me, I wouldn't be able to control myself.» he smirked and in that exact second she thought she had never been that red in face. «you have no idea how much I want you, Regina.» he was there, sat on her bed, invading her personal space again. She could feel his breathe searching for her skin in the darkness of the room, but it didn't seem to be a problem for much longer as she found it on her neck only seconds after. Damn, she wasn't ready to revive all of that again. Was she? «you know I always get what I want.» he took a lock of her dark hair and rolled it around her index finger, as usual. «I usually don't care if a woman wants me or not, if I do, I take her. No matter what.» she was lighted only by the moon, so lightly he could barely see her face. He put his thumb on her cheek and slowly ran it down, till he reached her lips; she was biting the bottom one, hard. «but with you, oh, Regina... with you it is so different. I'm giving you time, a choice, a promise.» he was whispering low, talking slowly, melting her body completely. She didn't even know why she was letting him touch her like that, she didn't know why when it came to him she had to be so damn shy, so damn frozen.
«I... I'm thinking about it.»
«but you have doubts, don't you?» she felt him smiling.
«indeed I do! I mean... You promised me I won't get hurt, but this contract is... Is full of horrible things.»
«like what, for example?» he asked, never dropping his smile, nor the finger he had on her lips.
«the... Spanks thing.» she looked down and he felt her cheeks burning under his fingertips. He let go a soft, delicate giggle:
«that was under the category "punishment". It won't happen too often, I can promise you.» he smiled and for a second his voice turned sweet «unless you make me really, really angry. And with your stubbornness and your sharped tongue... God, I'm not sure how much I could contain myself.»
That last sentence scared and turned her on incredibly at the same time. That mixture frightened her like hell because a part of her, maybe the biggest one, wanted to sign that contract and jump in his arms, didn't matter if he was planning to torture her for the rest of her life.
«and... There are some things I don't wanna do. Is that okay for you to remove them?»
«such as?»
«fisting. And... Whipping.» a shiver shook her body just at the thought.
«okay. I can accept that. What else?»
«pliers. And... Anal.» she blushed like crazy at the last word and bit her bottom lip harder, almost tasting blood.
«Regina, you never experienced something like that, you can't tell if you're gonna like it or not. Just wait until you do, I can assure you that all of this isn't just a pleasure of mine. It will be a pleasure for both.» she felt his fingers running down her neck, lightly tickling her, arriving to the suspender of her pajama. «also, your body is absolutely beautiful and I have all the intentions to explore it all.»
He had that ability to make her feel so small, incapable of moving a finger when he was with her. She just couldn't be herself and she wondered for a second if he was going to like the parts of her that she couldn't show, once they've lived together. Maybe just by taking a chance, a leap of courage... She slowly moved her hand and put her fingers on his lips, tracing the outline with her thumb. She felt him wincing at first, then relaxing under her touch.
«why me?» she whispered with the same tone he had used before.
Oh, God.
«what do you mean?»
«it's full of girls that would have paid to be yours forever, to be your... Submissive.» she couldn't help but blush at that term «why did you choose to waste your time on waiting for me? Why didn't you just execute me?»
It was a fair question, but the problem was that he didn't know the answer:
«there's something in you. Something...» he moved his lips even closer to hers he could almost taste them «oh, so powerful. It shook me. Since the first moment I saw you, I knew you would have been a perfect submissive. The one I've been looking for a while.»
God, those words, pronounced with that tone were able to make her feel things deeply in her body, in parts that she had always been ashamed to think of. She just wanted to cancel the distance between their lips and kiss him hard, she knew he wanted it too and she didn't understand why he hadn't done it yet.
«you're the only woman I'm willing to wait for. You should be flattered.» he almost giggled and her heart clenched; it was so rare to see him like that, like that baby she had seen hours before. Her fingers, which were still on his lips, ran behind his neck with the intention of pulling him close and finally touch his lips with hers, but he stopped her. He stopped her by grabbing her wrist firmly and squeezing it hard, almost hurting her:
«please, don't.»
She looked confused, scared as the grip on her arm got stronger.
«please... Don't push me off the limits, Regina.» he removed his hand from her and she took a breathe of relief. Instead he put it back on her shoulder and continued: «If you kiss me now I'll push you against this mattress and fuck you hard, really hard, until you come with my name in your mouth.» he made sure he was looking straight into her brown eyes while saying it. Her pupils grew bigger for the shock, for the excitement that she couldn't hide from him. God, it was like he knew her since the day he was born. «are you aware of the effect you have on me, now?» he smirked.
She couldn't do anything but nod.
«good.» he got up from her bed again and gave her one more sweet and delicate caress before leaving her. No, wait! She wanted more, she missed him incredibly when he left her body. «sleep over it, Regina. I know you already know the answer.» he smiled once more then disappeared in his usual purple cloud.
God damn it, the emptiness she was feeling in that moment was only comparable to a big hole in her heart. Why was she missing him like that? They knew each other since hours, not moths, not days. How could she be so struck? She was just a foolish girl.
Why, why the hell it had to be so complicate? She had never fell in love in her life, ever. And for once she did her love interest was... The Evil King. Fuck. Fuck him, fuck that contract, she just wanted to be held in his arms, protected and for once loved by someone.
Why couldn't she forget about that whole situation and go search for someone else? Why did he have to steal her heart?
«Robin!» she called his name in vain cause he didn't appear. «Robin, god damn it!» she shouted. Nothing.
Fine, he wanted to play? To test her patience? Now she would have showed him who he was dealing with. She quickly got dressed and prepared her horse; the Dark Castle was waiting for her.
