The force came suddenly, the horse whinnying as it flew up and the two of them fell off, landing on the soft grass. Benjamin yelled out, rolling on the ground several times until he lay wide-eyed, staring upwards.

She wasn't sure what happened or what came next.

The next thing she knew, she was lying on her side on the wet grass, her head pounding. Lightning flashed across the sky, followed by a roar of thunder.

Everything felt heavy.

She couldn't move.

A horse whinnied as a hooded, large-framed figure rode towards her. She gasped, sensing the dark, dangerous energy to be Endymion's.

His voice was low, a seething anger boiling beneath, "Bring him to the dungeon."

Then he glanced at her, his eyes wild, frightening.

"Bring her to the tower."

Rough hands took her, bolstered her on to a horse in the pack.

They rode off into the night.


The lightning split again across the sky again. She squeezed her eyes tight.

She was at the top of the castle tower, overseeing the kingdom. It was a part of the castle she'd never known existed before.

At the top of the tower was a large bell. Beneath it was several wooden struts. Tied to the strut was a series of a silk bands.

And one of those bands now bound her wrists.

Her nude body was trapped at the hands, her breasts open to the night air as she tried to close her long legs over her femininity. The dark of the night protected her, but she still felt exposed with her naked body in the cold, dark night.

She gasped as he stepped out of the shadows to approach her, his eyes menacing. In contrast to her nudity, he was fully clothed - a black tonic that was tight against his skin, outlining his muscles. His legs were covered by a simple pair of black trousers.

"Endymion..." she breathed.

His voice was low, seething.

"Did you think you would escape me?"

She gasped again as he raised a roughed hand to tease her breast with his fingers, before grasping her orb and giving her a firm, punishing squeeze.

"Endymion," she whimpered, "I didn't try to-"

"Did you think I wouldn't find you?" he interrupted, kneeling in front of her, release her breast from his rough hand only to replace it with his mouth.

She let out a loud moan as he sucked her quickly hardening nipple into his hot mouth.

"P- please!" she wailed, "Listen to me!"

He growled against her breast.

"Did you forget that you're mine?" he said angrily, biting on to her nipple.

She sobbed with pleasure-pain as her breast swelled from his expert attention.

"I wasn't..." she panted, "Trying to..."

She froze when she felt a hand descend to smooth between her legs. She instinctively tried to close her legs but his hand pushed insistently against her flesh.

"Did you leave with him so he can fuck you?"

She screamed out as he shoved two long fingers angrily between her legs, pleasure already spreading through her body. She felt his fingertips twitch deep inside her and cried out.

"You're mine!" he repeated, reattaching his mouth on her breast as he began to shove his fingers rhythmically deep inside her, forcing her to climb frightening heights of pleasure.

"Please..." she sobbed, her insides burning up, "Please... Endymion."

She was riding his fingers involuntarily now, his hand pushing into her, using her like a glove. She gasped, her body jolting up and down, one breast bouncing up and down while the other was held still by his insistent sucking.

Her eyes were squeezed tight in pleasure and fear, feeling it build. She couldn't help it, feeling her juices start to escape her. It seemed to please him, as he used the lubrication to push even harder and faster into her depths. His mouth was biting down harder, his hand moving faster.

Her mouth opened in a soundless scream as she climaxed against her will, tears of pleasure streaming down her face.

She didn't notice anything else. It was only after she calmed that she'd realized he'd pushed his silk trousers down, revealing his muscular legs and the thick, hard cock between them.

He'd angled his body to support hers, forcing her legs apart with his thighs, opened her up like a cradle for him. She gasped, her heart pounding as she realized she was on top of him. She felt something hard and dangerous at her entrance.

"Did you not think I'll break you tonight?"

His warm hands came to grip the side of her hips. She knew what was to come as his hands tightened around her hips.

"Ahhhhhhhhh!" she cried as he shoved his thick cock upwards into her young body, simultaneously slamming her hips down against him with his large hands.

Tears fell from her eyes while he growled in satisfaction.

She tried to move, to push against him, but her bound hands left her vulnerable and open to him, like a sacrifice.

She felt every inch of him as he pulled out, only to ram back in while she screamed out again.

"Endy!" she sobbed, "Endymion..."

He was setting a rhythm now, lifting her body up only to slam it back on to his hardness again. Her back arched and toes curled with every violent thrust. She cried out each time, her mouth opening, eyes upwards at the clouds.

Lightning split across the sky again as he continued to take her. He ducked his head down to capture a nipple in his mouth as he continued to penetrate her from beneath. She peeked down at the top of his head to find his eyes open, intense and feral.

She was moaning with ecstasy now, pleasured tears streaming down her face as he thrust into her. Her breasts swelled again. Her hands stopped struggling, her shapely legs wrapping reluctantly around the hard hips that launched relentlessly into her depths.

He pushed up into her harder, faster, rougher. His mouth sucked more hungrily, teeth more punishing over her nipple.

And she could only gasp and let him take her.


Half an hour later, her cries were reduced to wails, voice tired as he'd continued to take her tirelessly. Her legs were fully wrapped around him as he rocked into her, her heels digging into his sweaty, hard buttocks. She moaned again and again, jolts of tingling that left her body hot and needing more, even if she was only semi-willing to give herself to him.

But the jolts of pleasure morphed into something different. The quiet pleasure was building, a familiar feeling from the other night as her body began to beg for release. The spot inside her heated up, growing louder as she felt his organ pillage her at the same spot over and over again. The pitch of her wails grew until she was crying out uncontrollably.

He'd sensed it in her. Growling, he seemed encouraged as his large hands grabbed roughly at her hips, keeping her lower body in place so he could thrust harder and deeper into her, forcing her hips down each time he thrust upwards.

"Endy-" she panicked, afraid of falling over the edge, "Endy- wait."

He ignored her, penetrating her deeper, biting on the flesh at her neck. His punishing hands were gripping her buttocks tight now, leaving deep red marks while he pretended not to hear her anxious cries.

"Endy-" she stammered, "Endy, I-"

It was building higher and higher, the fire burning brighter and brighter.

"Let go, Serenity," he instructed through clenched teeth.

"Endy-" she panicked further.

She saw the flash then, the entire sky lightening up as her body seemed to glow.

"Come on," he growled.

He picked up speed, fucking her so hard she thought she would explode.

And then she did.

The thunder roared as she cried out in climax, her body flying upwards as she orgasmed gloriously.

It hit her like a billion stars exploding in her head. She thought she was floating up into the air, into the ethers of the universe.

He slowed, feeling her honey drip furiously out of her, her flower spasming around his organ, tiredly gripping his manhood and letting go, slippery. She whimpered, her body sated and tired. He pulled out of her, leaving her tiny secret place tingling with rescinding pleasure.

He finally let go of her hips and she sighed, her entire body drained. She felt his hands reach over her, barely registering what was happening around her as fatigue took her spent and used body. She felt him pull at the bands over her hands, a rough tug and they dissolved as she gasped, her feet touching the floor again.

"Endymion..." she sighed, unable to explain how she felt.

She moaned when he took the back of her head and angled her upwards, plunging his tongue into her mouth in a gentle kiss. She gasped into it, feeling his tongue probe her mouth tenderly. Then she felt him lowering her down to the velvet carpet below the clock, her nude body lay supine as he kept his lips glued to hers.

And she felt something still hard and dangerous pressing against her knee.

And she realized.

He had made her climax.

But he had not.

She gasped, feeling him pull away from her to stare menacingly down at her, realizing the lust still deep in his eyes.

"Endy-" she protested as he pulled her tired legs abruptly, "Wait, Endy-"

She cried out as he plunged back into her, hard. Her used and wet flower opened painfully again for his invasion. He spread her legs wide open, pulling her ankles apart as he pushed his huge, glistening cock again and again into her depths.

"Ah- Ahhhhh!" she wailed as she found herself in pleasure-pain, her eyes bulged out as her already used vagina tried to accommodate the huge male organ still needing to be sated. She could only sob and whimper while he used her. Her hands came up to reach for him. He ducked his head down and captured her lips in a hungry, punishing kiss. She cried out into his mouth.

Then she felt his cock force her into another orgasm that ripped from her like a tidal wave.

"Ah!" she cried out as he pulled away to rest his sweaty forehead against hers, "Ah! Ah! Ah!"

Her legs jolted with each violent thrust. He was like a battering ram, not caring or hearing her, only driven by the need to penetrate her and destroy her from within. His hands gripped her ankles tight enough to leave deep marks as he pulled her legs away from her to give him full access to what he wanted.

He kept thrusting - harder, faster, deeper. She cried out with each thrust, another orgasm approaching.

Her hands came to grip hard on to the velvet carpet beneath her as he pushed even more ferociously into her like an animal in heat, his sweat pouring down his forehead and on to her breasts. Her juices gave him the lubricant he needed to slam smoothly into her tightness with each hard, punishing thrust.

Then she heard his own growls crescendo, the gleam in his eyes wilder than ever before. He stared intensely at her, his dark blue eyes frenzied in taking her and branding her. She looked down his body at his massive chest, at his flat stomach, at the sweaty hips that seemed designed only to slam into her body and make her climax. He was moving so fast it was a blur, his mind overtaken like a madman.

Feeling her own pleasure build, her own juices unlocking, she opened her mouth one last time in a piercing scream.

She came.

He let out an animalist growl and exploded deep inside her, ejaculating copious hot semen into her young, inexperienced body. She cried out with their simultaneous orgasms, her vagina spasming to accommodate the massive organ lodged deep inside her, as she felt her inside flood with his seed. Her eyes were wide with shock, legs flailing as he kept her hips still with his large hands, feeding her his sperm in spurts as he growled with satisfaction.

She whimpered as he finally pulled out, feeling his hotness drip down out of her and down her tired thighs like lava. She was tearful with pleasure and surprise.

She let him press his lips to her one last time, a hot and sweaty kiss.

Lightning flashed ominously one more time but she barely noticed it, her body completely spent.

She faintly felt him pick her up to take her away.

Her mind destroyed, she let the darkness take her.


"Are you sure, mi'lord?"

Endymion didn't turn around, merely staring outwards at the towns outside his castle, at the seemingly peaceful villages under his rule that didn't at all reflect his inner turmoil.

"Yes," he said, seething.

He'd learned Benjamin had lied to him. Benjamin had told him Serenity had orchestrated her own escape, when Benjamin had kidnapped his reluctant captive. Serenity had not meant to betray him.

His heart felt heavy.

He had not seen her since he'd deposited her back into her room, into the thick cot in the bathroom for when she awoke she could clean herself. He had not seen her since she'd received the news.

"Yes," he repeated to Malachite and Zoicite, "Take her back to her village."

"But mi'lord."

"I've hurt her enough," he growled, "I will let her out of her contract. Send the rubies to her family as we'd already arranged, but..."

He stared further into the lands, his eyes downcast, ashamed.

"I shall not see her again."


She still thought him, months now since her ordeal.

She wasn't sure if it was because of the intensity of their meeting. Or if she felt something for him. Or because he had stolen her innocence. Took her body. Marked her as his.

She walked wistfully down the riverside, gathering the berries and roots to bring back to her family. Life was peaceful again, easier. Especially during moments when she was alone, when the sun was setting, she thought of him. She thought about declining the rubies he sent her family monthly, but... they helped.

She wondered if she would ever see him again. She wondered if he thought of her.

Walking by the river, her basket in hand, she tried to focus on her task, on her family. But sometimes she still wondered.

Maybe one day, they would meet again.
