Lost Girl (Soul Bound Book 1)

by E. M Jefferson

“No. but it would be nice” I mutter to myself knowing this is going to end in a heated argument.

  “If you want the soap then I suggest you come and get it…… Now Belle”

  Walking over to him I’m like a puppet being pulled by strings as I meet him on the other side. Thank God the water has risen high enough to cover my breast. Not that he hasn’t seen them already, but a girl needs her armour.

  “Good girl, now turn around”

  “No”

  “No” he mocks

  “I am my own person; now can I have the soap?” I say with a bite in my voice.

  “If you want to clean up then I suggest you curve that tone of yours” He says as he begins to undress.

  “Err… What do you think you’re doing Dante?”

  “Apart from this being my home. I’m joining you” He states so matter of fact that I can’t help the shocked breath I inhale.

  “I don’t think so. You can wait until I get out” I say standing my ground. Fuck this!

  Dark chuckling comes from Dante as he stripes down to nothing. He doesn’t say any more words as he climbs into the bath with me. My wondering eyes take in the sight before me where I can see his marking. Black and golden swirls run around his chest, arms and legs. Their all over his body that seem to be alive as they move and flicker in and out of sight. I was so transfixed by them that I didn’t notice he was in front of me until his fingers where lifting up my head.

  “I will say this once and once only. I am stone cold heartless bastard. That wouldn’t bleed red if you cut me open. I can be your greatest nightmare or your greatest pleasure. I don’t do emotions, nor do I care for feelings. But this push and pull between us. I crave it like a fucking drug. And Belle……I always get my fucking way”

  “What if I don’t want a heartless bastard? What if I want a man who can love me? What then Dante because this” I indicated between us. “Is not fucking heathy for any of us. What happened last night was a mistake that should never have happened” I tell him with open honestly and in the process cutting my own heart open.

  “Last night was not a mistake. You are mine now Belle. Whether you like it or not. There is no running away from me, no escaping me. Last night you gave me your mind, body and soul. Ones I intend to keep for all eternity. So, you better get used to what you have given away as their mine now” My heart pounds as his words settle inside my mind.

  “I take it back. I take it all back! It was said in the heat of the moment how could you not see that?” I scream at him. This was a mistake. I should have run the moment I could.

  “Call us a mistake one more time and I will show you what happens if you disobey me” He growls out.

  “I am not your fucking slave Dante! I am a living fucking person who deserves to be treated with fucking respect not like some common whore who you can control”

  He goes to grab me by the arms as he dropped the soap into the water. But I beat him to it as I slap him hard across the face. Watching as his head turns to the side where my handprint can be seen. Something inside me snaps as I attack him punching as Max taught me, I aim for his sexy stupid face. But it was no use as he grabbed my wrist before pinning them behind my back. “I am fucking warning you now! The next time you slap me you won’t like what happens” He snarls letting his fangs come out.

  “Fuck you! Let me fucking go!” I shout at him. I was furious at him with the way he through he could treat me. But at the same time, a dark and twisted part of me got a kick out of getting him rattle up. I must have been sick for how I enjoyed his crushing hold. I couldn’t stop how much I wanted him.

  “Fucking let me go now Dante!” I screamed again but it only added to his dark amusement.

  “Never again Belle” He said in a voice far too calm over my lips. The sight of his eyes burning to full gold had me taken aback with how predatory he looked. I bit my lip at the sight of him looking lost to whatever laid inside him.

  “I told you once you could never escape from me” His face looked too calm when I could see the monster within pushing at his skin. He wanted to play, and I was scared in case I wouldn’t survive.

  “You don’t-“My words were cut off from the magic that prevented my lie from happening. It was in that moment I had knew it had given away to how obsessed I was with him. How much power I had given him over my body. It was a mistake on my part.

  “How I enjoy the fact that Fae can’t lie but yet you’re too young and naive to really understand how to play” He purrs down at me.

  “Are you saying your not Fae?” it was the first thing my mind latched onto. Because if he isn’t a Fae or even a full Fae then that would mean he could lie about anything.

  “Wouldn’t you like to know” Was all the warning I got before he submerged us underwater were his wild golden eyes burned brighter before his fangs came out.

  I screamed out as bubbles came out of my mouth. His eyes where searing into mine as he leaned down over me. “I know you want me Belle as I can smell your need for me. Whether you are willing to accept this or not is only a matter of time. I will make you crave me with a deep need that will have you begging for my touch at just the sight of me!” He promised in a dark tone. One that was crossed between a man and beast.

  More frightening so was that fact it sounded terrifyingly familiar as the one who haunted my dreams.

  “It can’t be” I look up at him where only a wide grin answers me before he thrusts into me. He knew I could breathe under water therefor he didn’t need to worry about me drowning or running out of oxygen.

  This was more than I could bare as my mind shut down as I caved into the power, he had over me. All reasoning and logic went out the window as I crushed my lips to his. Parting them open for his tongue to taste me as I tasted him. Being under water and fucking gave me an unbelievable high that spiked with every single touch. I don’t know if it had the same effect on him as it did me, but his body crashed into mine sending us onto the bottom of the bath floor. I was already sore from last night, but the pain only added to the pleasure as his pace picked up.

  I was starting to lose my reasons to why I was angry at him in the first place as he took me to a new high. One that felt like a roller coaster ride gone wrong where you could never get off. But the fear of the unknown pumped adrenaline around my body giving me the energy and strength to flip him over before taking control. I needed this!

  I need him to see I could be his equal if he gave me a fucking chance. If he treated me with respect and dignity, then I could show him just how amazing I could be.

  He let me have control as I remained on top before pulling my lips from him. “Dante” I said on a breathless whisper while his eyes darkened with lust.

  “Gods Belle you feel amazing” His hands travelled the length of my spine before squeezing my cheeks.

  “If you want me then you better treat me with the respect I deserved or else I will fight you every step of the way” I needed him to show me he had a least some humanity in him that was worth all this bullshit,

  “What if I say no?” He says on a breathless whisper that tells me his close.

  “Then I will walk away for good. One where you could never find me as I will disappear without a trace” Something in my eyes must have showed him how serious I was.

  “Push me too far and I will take away everything you hold dear. Mark my words Belle I will have you chained to my bed if you ever try to control or manipulate me” He sneers up with so much hate and aggression that I wonder who had broken this man. For their laid at the heart of this cold man was the cause of his bastard ways. A woman had done this to him.

  “Never. But if you try to control me” I pause as I roll my hips making sure I still have his attention. Where this wanton behaviour can from, I don’t know. But it empowered me as I had him shiver underneath me with pleasure. “I will be worst then a hell cat”

  “ENOUGH!” He roared out before gripping my hair and flipping us over. He turned me around where my stomach was
pushed into the floor where his hands pulled my hips up before pounding into me. all I heard around me was a demonic growl that rumbled behind me. He had lost control as there was no being gentle as his palm connected against my cheek. Burning my ass before his hands came down in a rapid session. He left them to sting as he pounded into me harder where I swear, I could fill his already thick and long shaft start to grow becoming impossible large. It felt incredible as if I was his own puppet. One that used me like I was simply a replacement for his hand with the way he controlled my body. Using my hips to push him incredible deep where it felt like he had gone all the way through my body as he thrusted aggressively.

  I screamed out from the intensity of it all, wanting to escape him but at the same time to stay locked in his embrace. The need to fight against his dominating controlling ways yet when we were like this, I craved it. Wanting him to own me and control me as there was both a sense of power to being the one dominating another and giving complete control to someone else who would take care of your needs as well as their own. I was hot and cold with him that I felt like I was getting whiplash.

  Soon I lost all process of throughs and lost myself to the pleasure he gave as he once again changed positions. Flipping me over like his over personal sex toy before putting my legs on his shoulders. This time I had no warning with how much deeper he went inside of me as my body struggled to accumulate him. His hold was punishing as he groped and pinched my nipples with my legs high on his shoulders.

  I don’t know how long we stayed under water locked in our embrace, but I could feel the pleasure evolving into something that would destroy me into a thousand pieces. I could feel his muscles clench as his own pleasure was rapidly building. His strong jaw with stumble along it would clench with him holding back.

  “Dante Please” I begged as he pounded into me with such strength that he had to abandon my nipples and pin me down to prevent me from moving. It was done in such a possessive gesture that I couldn’t help but think there was more layers to him. I don’t know how much more my body could survive the onslaught as my body begged for its denied release. His wicked grin was all I needed to know that he was keeping it at bay until he allowed me to come.

  I kept my eyes on him the whole time as I watched pleasure burn inside him. “Say It” He said in such a beastly but forceful tone that I instantly knew what he wanted.

  “Make me” I taunted him as he started to multiple the feeling in retaliation to my disobedience, my body tensed as he kept hitting my G spot over and over again. Making me cry out his name for mercy.

  “Please Dante!” I wasn’t above begging for what I wanted at this point.

  “Tell me what I want to fucking hear, or I will keep you suspended like this and watch as you self-combust” He warned as I couldn’t take any more.

  “I’m yours” the words escaped my lips.

  “Now say it with meaning” He snapped before pounding me harder where I could feel my skin beginning to tighten.

  “I’M FUCKING YOURS DANTE” I screamed with everything I had as he made my body cry out from the orgasm he had kept at bay before his fangs pieced my neck sending me over the edge into a violent storm.

  At this I had cried out my release at the same time he ripped his fangs out of my neck before he let out an almighty roar which had the bricks above us falling down. But before they could land black and golden wings had shoot out, shielding us from being crushed. My body bowed up in an unnatural way where Dante had to hold me down until I had calmed down enough to let me go. But it took longer than last night as waves after waves rushed throughout me where one started to calm, another would build up and crash into me. My body spasmed uncontrollable as I could do nothing but ride it out.

  Eventually my body calmed where Dante let me go and picked me up as my body was like jelly. He moved the nearby debris away from us and he carried me gently back into the bedroom. But I had already seen the damage done as it looked like the roof has caved in on us!

  “Will it always be like this?” I said timidly.

  “Like what?”

  “Us fighting with toxic hate” I said as he put me into his bed. Dante didn’t bother to dry us or let me get dry as he put me down on the bed. I turned to face him as he laid on his back, how I wanted to run my hands over his chest and trace his marks.

  “I don’t hate you, but I don’t have any feelings for you. Simply put I need you underneath me, withering with pleasure” he said after some time had passed. My inner self was screaming out in rage. He must have seen how my heart plummeted into my stomach. “Belle, you must understand I am a being that has been around for a very, very long time. My heart has turned to dust and I care not for emotions. This- “He ran his hand up my spine before they wrapped around my throat again. I wonder if it is a fetish of his. “Is mine, the way you burn for me, shiver in anticipation. Your body response to me like no other, primed and ready for my choosing. That is all that matters.” He squeezed a little harder before placing a gently kiss on my lips. Such a stark contrast to way he held me in his grip.

  “I do, however advise you never, I mean never rile me up like that again. For the monster inside might just kill you” He promises before letting me go. “Now sleep Belle, I have things to do tomorrow”

  However, my mind wasn’t ready to sleep just yet as I wondered if maybe, just maybe he was the beast and the man. All wrapped up in one parcel. “I can hear your mind ticking from here. Spit it out” Dante said in a tired bored voice.

  Chewing my lip, I debated whether to say ask him as I wasn’t sure how he would take it. How would he react if it wasn’t him? But then that would open up the question of who was it?

  But if it was him, they why act so hot and cold about it? Or did he not remember? Could it be the beast lives separately within him? Or is this all in my head and nothing is what is says it is? is it confusing or am I making it complicated?

  “Dante are you the beast that has been haunting my dreams?” I asked him as I couldn’t bare to not know. But the only reply I got was in the form of soft snoring. He had fallen asleep with his arm above his head as the other one laid across his stomach.

  My eyes softened as he looked so peaceful, boyish even. Hell, I could have said he looked so young that one wouldn’t think he had the eyes of an old man. Yet he didn’t look a day over thirty he looked perfect sculptured by the Gods. So why would he have taken an interest in me? Granted he said he needed me and wants to control me. Not the kind of thing I wanted but I craved him with an intensity that was borderline insanity.

  What do I do?

  Chapter Twenty

  Walk Of Shame

  I opened my eyes to once again to, you guessed it an empty bed without Dante in it. Not that I’m complaining but this time I will skip the idea of a shower and just make my way home. Getting up I went straight to the walk-in closet and pulled a pair of Dante’s boxers on along with his jeans that were way to big, that I had needed to use one of his belts. I wore one of his plain white vests, that smelled of him as well as a t-shirt and took one of his jumpers. I mean they were massive on me, but it beat walking around naked.

  Once dressed in his clothes I hunted around for my phone. As I knew my old clothes was taken but I was hoping that my phone had been left. Bingo! On a desk I didn’t notice was my phone on charge. I thanked my lucky stars as I had battery life. Now the main question was who do I call that wouldn’t give me a headache? Ty would probably be the easiest as he lived here but I would never hear the end of it. I couldn’t even think of Alex right now as he must have thrown a fit when I didn’t return. Max I wasn’t sure was a good idea which left Alice.

  Picking up the phone I dialled her number and waited for her to pick up. Come on! Why have a phone if you never answer the bloody thing?!

  “Hello” Her tired voice came through”

  “Alice! Thank god your awake! Listen I need a really-“

  Loud screaming came through the phone where I had to remove it from my ears bef
ore I went deaf. “OMG! OMG! OMG! Girl your alive. Rumour have been going crazy about you being killed or Dante had kidnap you! Where are you?!”

  “Can you come get from the club and I’ll explain please?” I said in a pleading tone. Thumping noises could be heard as it sounded like she was trying to get dressed.

  “Right girl I’m on my way as I’m leaving now”

  “Thank you!” Gods I loved this girl. I didn’t even need to explain instead she would rather come and get me to ask questions later. Hanging up the phone I left the room. Well tried to as it led into a large living space, but I didn’t have a look as I wanted to get out before Dante could stop me.

  I know I said I would be his, but a girl had got to have time to adjust to this crazy situation. Walking with my chin held high and shoulders back I left his apartment and went into the elevators. Knowing that the lowest floor this elevator went was the vip one. It meant I couldn’t get away completely without doing the walk of shame.
