Bewitched

Ch. 22

I woke up to the warmth of a body draped across me, the warmth surrounding me was nice and peaceful. The events of earlier were fuzzy and I didn't remember where I was as I laid with my eyes closed listening to the noises around me. The gentle sway of the bed really had me confused, it felt like I was on water.

"You don't have to pretend to be asleep my dear, I can tell your awake." a familiar voice speaks beside my ear. At that moment all the memories come back to me and I feel completely embarrassed that I acted that way for Donovan. Beau was supposed to be the one to make me orgasm, to moan for, to call out at the height of intimacy.

I felt dirty and used, I can't believe my body betrayed me. Yes it felt good but now I feel disgusting. I open my eyes to see Donovan's smiling face right beside mine, my body is draped across his naked, toned chest as our legs are entwined. I notice to my utter horror that we are both naked and there is dry blood down my chest and on his face.

"You look beautiful and peaceful while sleeping my love." he leans in and steals a quick kiss. I pull away instantly but don't get far as his arms are wrapped around me.

"What have you done, your disgusting. How dare you force yourself on me? I hate you, I absolutely hate you and hope you burn in hell!" I spat out as I tired to get out of his strong grip, his one hand tightened on my arm to the point it hurt.

"Do not talk to me like that. I did nothing of the sort Lauren. I do not force myself upon women. You begged me to take you, yet I refrained and showed you the true pleasure of being mine without ruining your purity." he grit out as his fangs elongated, I had really hit a sore spot with him and I regret what I said, even if it was the truth any ways.

"I need a shower." I whispered quietly as I looked down at our naked bodies barely covered by the sheets. His grip loosened as he stared at me, I avoided his gaze.

"Look at me Lauren, I am not a monster and I do not rape women. I want you to look me in the eyes." Donovan's voice becomes so seductive and velvety that I find my body moving on its own accord again. My head lifts up and I look into his eyes to see them shining bright, full of affection.

"I told you before I will not take you until you beg me to. Yes you begged last night but that was under the influence of my mind control. That is how I have been holding you to show you what I can and will do for you. I pleasured you so much this morning you fell asleep, you were so beautiful when you reached your peak that it was very difficult not to take you." he caressed my cheek while he spoke.

"I was still being forced into it." I whisper, feeling dejected. I felt the tears forming at the corner of my eyes because I was not faithful to Beau.

"Go shower, there will be a change of clothes for you when you are finished. I have work to do. Feel free to cook something for your self seeing as it is already five in the afternoon. I do  not know when I will be back." with that Donovan got up, he had a hurt look in his eyes as he gathered clothes and walked out of the bedroom.

I sat on the bed unsure about things any more, now that my bond with Beau was gone I still had feelings for him but at the same time I am developing feelings for Donovan. I was so confused because it hurt to see Donovan upset like this because of my feelings yet at the same time he is a crazy psycho man determined on killing off another for his own personal reasons.

He is unexpectedly sweet towards me and treats me like I had always dreamed my other half would. But there is the snag, he isn't my other half. I must have sat for quite a while as a maid timidly knocked on the door and walked in carrying a bag of women's clothes.

"Oh forgive me Miss Brazen, I thought you would be in the shower. I have brought you some clean clothes." the young girl bows her head, sets the clothes on the dresser and backs out slowly. I smile at her as she goes out and nod as we make eye contact.

Once the door is closed I get up and look through the bag, it is full of expensive looking clothes. They all range from dresses, to skirts and many different tops. I even pull out some negligee that was tucked into the bottom of the bag. My face heated up as I was thinking of all the things he would do to me if I ever wore this.

I quickly stuff the negligee back into the bag and grab one of the cuter summer dresses. Its a maxi dress with beautiful purple fading into a blue, there is underwear and bras as well which are all a little less then what I normally wear, but I guess they are my only options.

I quickly wash my hair, the rest of the makeup off my face and scrub my body until my skin is a bright red. I even attempt to scrub off the hickey that Donovan left over top of Beau's, but of course that is just a broken blood vessel so I can't scrub it off no matter how hard I try.

After drying off and getting dressed I search for a brush to run through my hair. I don't find any in the bathroom so I go search the bag that was brought. Thankfully I find some makeup and a brush, I brush out my hair and decide against makeup. What's the point if it is only me and Donovan.

I exit into the kitchen area to find Demetrious sitting on the couch watching T.V, he turns looks at me then goes back to watching his show.

"Where is Shauna?" I question as I walk towards him.

"In cells." is his gruff response. Kind of shocked me that he even responded but I quickly made my demand.

"Bring her here. She needs to shower and change clothes like I did." I tell him, he just smirks at me.

"Boss said cells, so she is in cells. You on the other hand have become his little pet so you get all the luxuries while your best friend lives in a dark, damp, moldy four by four cell with no place to go to the bathroom, no windows, no food or clean water and a ragged blanket to sleep with." he seemed like he was not happy about the situation.

"I don't care what he said bring her here now." I demanded getting irritated. "She doesn't deserve to be treated as anything less then me. I will not ever be that ass hat's pet. He may be able to control my body but my mind, heart and sole belong to Beau no matter what." I ended up yelling at him by the end of my rant.

He just stared at me with a blank look on his face, scoffed and turned to watch his show again. I got frustrated and stormed into the kitchen. I searched around for some kind of weapon, but couldn't find anything. Feeling useless I decided to just go try opening the door, with that resolve I march over to the door and pull. It opened.

I quickly made my way out and around to the main deck of the ship, I kept checking behind me to see if Demetrious was following but he never did. I cautiously made my way towards the other end of the ship where I last saw Shauna.

"Out for a stroll my love?" his voice spoke beside my ear, causing me to become startled. He took one of my hands in his and spins me to face him, then brings my hand to his lips. As he kissed my hand I got an idea, I pulled my hand gently from his lips and moved closer to him as I wrap my arms around his neck, resting my body firmly against his.

"I was looking for you." I gave him my best shy look as I smiled.

"Oh you were? Well you have found me my dear, what can I do for you?" he asked as his arms wrapped around my waist, resting lower then I would have liked.

"I was wondering what ever happened to Shauna? She is my sister and I don't feel right being treated better then her." I gave him my best puppy dog eyes, even teared up a little in an attempt to have him feel sorry for me.

"Ah yes, she is the mate of the Beta mutt. I have her locked away somewhere safe. That way she cannot hurt you my love." his right hand caressed my cheek tenderly. I leaned in towards his touch trying to convince him that I am willingly with him.

"Can you at least let her shower and change her clothes? She also needs food to be able to survive. I can't stand to see her suffering, please? Isn't there anything that can be done for her?" I pushed his buttons perfectly as a tear escaped my watering eyes, his whole face softened at my tears and he wipes them away one by one.

"Okay my love. She can stay in the spare bedroom, she has to be locked in there though. Only for you and only this once." he looked me directly in the eyes to show me how serious he was. I vigorously nodded my head and smiled at him genuinely for how happy I was. He pulled me to him in a passionate kiss that he dominated.
