This is what movies and books are made of, not real life. Not my life.
A part of me wants to tell him no. Even if I die, if he has to watch, maybe that’s the right thing? After all, it would teach him a lesson instead of punishing me for the rest of my life.
But my mom. I’m sure she knows none of this. Maybe she did, once, but not anymore. Her mind is too far gone. I’ve seen the look in her eyes when my father talks about the engagement. She thinks it’s romantic, and she talks to me about tradition and how she and my dad didn’t know each other before they were engaged.
That man, my future husband, will have her murdered, and something tells me it won’t be quick. If they’re going to burn me alive, surely whatever they do to her will be just as awful.
I can’t allow that.
But I also need some control. They can make me marry him, but they can’t make me give him the one thing that’s still mine. My virginity. My first time. I can only give it once, and I know there’s only one person I trust with that right now.
I bury my face in my hands for a long second, inhaling and exhaling in slow, measured breaths until my lungs feel they will burst, then let it all go and let my head fall back until my neck cracks.
Do it. For you.
I pick up my phone and find Cyrus’s number. Tapping out the text feels irresponsible, but this isn’t about them, it’s about me. It’s about us.
Tonight is the one night I get for myself, probably for the rest of my life. I know how I want to spend it.
Me: Meet me at the gate to my house. Keep your lights off. Just come. No questions, please.
“Is this yours?” I stare in awe as we step off the elevator. My father is wealthy, but a penthouse like this would be beyond our means.
My father was wealthy, I remind myself. I’m his collateral now. He’s been fudging income and receipts and debts to me for how long? Years?
Cyrus shakes his head. “I’ve got it for the night. I didn’t want to waste time driving you forty minutes across town to my place. Besides, my place is a little messy right now. There was sort of an act of God…” He presses his fingers on my lips when I start to ask what he means, then finishes. “So tonight, we’re here, tomorrow you can help me pick a place for us.”
My heart is already breaking, knowing there will be no tomorrow.
No place for us.
Just tonight.
I have to tell him the truth. Tell him that tomorrow my coach turns back into a pumpkin and I have to go back to my real life and if I don’t? Not only will my family be in danger, he will as well.
I know he would try to fix it all, but right now, I want this night. I want to give him something that’s mine. Truly mine that I can never give to anyone else.
Putting him in danger is not an option. I’ve made my decision. Right or wrong. Good or bad.
Selfish or selfless.
Maybe both.
I’m going to do what my father wants. But first, I need to live.
So, I nod. “I’d like that.”
It’s the truth but it’s also a lie.
“But, first, I’m going to mark your pussy with my cum.” He grabs the back of my neck and kisses me hard. “Time for Daddy to show you just how special you are.”
Chapter Six
Cyrus
Ididn’t know beauty before Anna.
I didn’t believe in soulmates.
I didn’t even believe I could feel love. Not like this.
I stare in awe as she unwraps the belt from her lavender dress and lets it drop to the floor.
“Fuck me.” My cock throbs as I take her in from the top of her head down to her lavender-painted little toenails. My need to be inside her flames and a primal desire takes over.
“You know this is our home for tonight, but after, you are going to live with me. You are going to have my baby. Do you understand?”
She nods as her trusting blue eyes connect to mine.
A growl rumbles from my chest as I take a minute to admire what’s mine. I know she’s lived well, but she’s going to learn to live even better. Whatever she wants, I’ll give it to her. Whatever she dreams, I’ll make it come true.
“Go get on the bed, baby. Hands behind your knees and spread wide for Daddy.”
“But, I want to taste you…”
“Do as you’re told. When I want your mouth, I’ll tell you. Right now, that pussy needs to be broken in and bred. We have a lifetime for everything else and trust me, we will get to it all, then do it again a thousand times.”
