To say that Elijah was simply mad was an understatement. He was furious.
From the moment that he had killed those vampires, he hadn't once let go off Katherine's wrist. In fact his grip seemed too tightened with every block that they were closer to home.
Katherine squirmed uncomfortably and tried to released her wrist from his iron grip, but couldn't. Elijah seemed to be dragging her along with him. Katherine would be lying if she said she wasn't nervous, she was damn terrified.
She hadn't known that Elijah could be so scary when angry, even when Katherine had tried to kill him he hadn't looked as angry as he did now. He had been more amused than angry that time and he had simply spanked her. However, this time Katherine doubted that she would be left off the hook with a simple spanking.
Would he kill her? That was the thought that terrified Katherine the most. But Katherine would rather be killed, other than sold off to another master.
When they reached Elijah's manor, Elijah ignored the rest of the servants and kept dragging Katherine up the stairs. Cami threw Katherine one last pity look. When they reached her room he placed Katherine on the pretty blue colored chair with an arm rest and gripped both arm rests, preventing Katherine from escaping.
There was very little room between them, so Katherine couldn't avoid him. She doubted that she could even seduce him.
Katherine shut her eyes tightly. "If you're going to kill me . . . just do it ok?"
"I'm not going to kill you," he growled. "Though I should for scaring me half to death. What the hell were you thinking, Katherine?"
Katherine didn't answer.
"Goddamit, Katherine answer me!" he hissed. "Why did you escape? What purpose was there of escaping? Surely your human life out there isn't better."
"It isn't." she murmured. "I was just. . ." she trailed off. "I don't like being told what to do, I like being independent."
"This isn't about being independent, Katherine. It's about surviving. When a human girl steps into the city of Iris she is basically dead already. If I hadn't gotten there in time-"he closed his eyes. "Did they hurt you in any way? Were you harmed?" he traced his finger gently over the bruises on her arm. "In worse ways than these."
She shook her head. "No." it took her a minute to realize that she was trembling. "Are you going to punish me?"
He shook his head. "Not tonight." He pushed back a stray curl, his anger seemed to have calm down. He kissed the side of her forehead. "I'll send Cami with some food and herbs for your injuries, rest."
Days had passed, and Katherine could feel that Elijah was ignoring her. Ever since he had rescued her, he had barely said two words to her. He hardly even slept in his bedroom anymore. Cami tried to tell her that he was busy, but Katherine had spied him through her window several times simply reading a book.
And not only had he stopped talking to her, but they hadn't slept together since before he went to Paris, he hadn't even punish her for running away. He had however, forbidden her from going outside, but she could still explore the rest of the large house as long as she had one of the bodyguard that he had insisted that she have at all times.
Katherine couldn't feel, but her temper rising and it didn't help that the rest of the maids were whispering about her in the halls.
". . . Ruin. .."
"The master was so disgusted. . ."
"Stupid, little girl did she really think she could run away?"
"I wonder why he hasn't killed her."
"I heard that he is re selling her. I swear I overheard him telling his brother that he was going to sell Miss Katherine and get a slave that would actually listen to him."
That did it. Katherine was not going to let Elijah re sell her like she was a farm animal. Yes, she had done a stupid thing, but Katherine regretted it and she was not going to let Elijah take control of the situation. She was going to be giving him a piece of her mind.
"You can leave," Katherine told the bodyguard whose name she couldn't remember. She was standing in front of Elijah's private office. "I need to talk to him privately."
Katherine entered his office and found everything in perfect order which only seemed to irritate Katherine's temper even more. She didn't know why she was so angry at Elijah because he was ignoring her. Maybe she had gotten too used to receiving his attention.
"Re selling" that was the word that wouldn't leave her mind. Katherine started throwing whatever she could find in the room. She grabbed the books from the book shelves and threw them on the ground. She ripped the pages from them and shredded them around the floor. She broke the expensive vases that must have cost a fortune, and she tossed everything on his desk into the trashcan.
Katherine huffed, feeling a bit better. There. That would show him.
"KATHERINE!"
Later that night, while Katherine was getting ready for bed, Elijah stormed into her room still perfectly dressed without bothering to knock like he usually did. Katherine had changed into a blue and white baby doll nightgown and had her curly hair tied back with a blue ribbon.
She crossed her arms over her chest. "Yes?"
"What has been going through your head recently," he snapped. "First you escape and now you destroy my office. Why?"
Katherine turned around childishly.
Elijah grasped her arm. "Damn it, Katherine I deserve an answer!"
"You don't deserve anything!" she hissed as she attempted to punch him, but Elijah grasped her fist.
He placed her over his lap and pulled back her nightgown, while at the same time removing her frilly underwear. Katherine squirmed in his lap, knowing what was coming next. Elijah slapped his hand against her bottom, harder than he would usually do resulting in a pale pink handprint. "Damn it, Katherine I'm tired of your unreasonable behavior. If I have to spank you every night so that you understand that you need to obey me, I will!"
Elijah slapped his hand against her left cheek this time as he finished his sentence. Katherine could feel her cheeks jiggling with every slap as Elijah alternated between cheeks. Katherine could heard the rhythm of it, slap, smack, slap, smack. Katherine was sure that Elijah was slapping every inch of her bottom.
Katherine tried to stand up, but Elijah snapped. "Stay still, I'm not finish with you yet."
"Well, I am." She hissed as she digged her nails in his thigh. "And I don't care if you spank me until I can't sit down, I'm quitting. I'm no longer going to be your salve. I rather quit that have you re sell me."
"You can't quit." Elijah said sounding amused as he stopped spanking her. "And why are you talking about re selling? I would never re sell you. Is that why you destroyed my office and why you're so upset because of a rumor?"
She flushed, momentarily forgetting the sting on her bottom. "So, it's not real?"
"Of course it's not real." He said relaxing. "After everything you put me through I wouldn't resell you."
Elijah started rubbing the sting away. "I'm sorry about your office, I'll clean it up."
"We have people for that." He snorted as he placed her on the bed. "There are other ways you can make it up to me."
Katherine smirked at him as Elijah started kissing her, his hands removing her nightgown in one quick swipe, leaving her completely naked.
She watched breathlessly as Elijah took off his suit, slowly. "Would you please hurry up?!"
"Patience." He chuckled.
"I don't have any."
"No, you don't." Elijah said his fingers teasing her wet folds that were glistering with her juices. "I'm beginning to think that you enjoy being my slave or at least getting spanked."
"A little bit of both, though my bottom would probably not agree." Katherine giggled. Elijah lowered his upper body on Katherine, each of his arms on opposing sides of the bed, trapping her. Elijah kissed her while at the same time cupping her right breast, gently teasing her by giving it a little squeeze, his fingers traveled to her wet folds as he entered one finger inside her, causing her to moan and for her hips to buck back and forth.
Katherine could feel her desire growing as her own hands traveled on Elijah's back, exploring every inch of his body. She gave his bottom a small squeeze as Katherine whispered in his ear. "Lay down."
Much to her surprise, Elijah did as he was told and Katherine laid on top of him. She pressed, tiny butterfly kisses against his torso before stopping at his growing erection. She gave it tiny kisses until she reached the tip.
She teased him by licking the tip of his cock, before she entered it between her plump lips. Her tongue expertly caressing it. Elijah rummaged a hand through her dark hair causing Katherine to suck a little faster.
Katherine pulled away her cheeks flushed. "That was fun."
"Yes, it was." Elijah cupped her face before pressing her back on the bed. "But you had your fun."
He gripped her bottom, ignoring Katherine's whimpers of pain as he slid into her, not too gently. Katherine moaned with pleasure as she digged her nails in Elijah's back as he continued to thrust into her, her walls tightening around his cock. He nibbled on her ear and hissed into it. "You belong to me, do you understand? Me and no one else, understand. So no more running?"
Katherine weakly shook her head. "No more running."
