Page 37 of Obsession

As much as I hated to admit it, there was something comforting about giving myself over to him completely. In a world filled with chaos and uncertainty, Riot was my one constant -- my anchor in the storm. Even when he inflicted pain, at least I knew he wouldn’t go too far. Somewhere along the way, I’d learned to trust him.

“Just… don’t hurt me too much,” I said.

His laughter was low and dangerous, sending shivers down my spine. “Now, where would be the fun in that?”

The room seemed to shrink as Riot towered over me, his presence a suffocating force that left me gasping for air. I couldn’t tear my eyes away from his piercing gaze, my entire being trembling under the weight of his stare.

“The doctor lied to me. Dr. Fields won’t be with us anymore. Crash and Kane are taking care of her. She told me I was sterile. I’d thought there was no way you were pregnant with my baby. But now I know different. It’s mine, Hollis, and so are you.”

Panic threatened to consume me, my thoughts racing as I tried to process the horrifying reality of my situation. I was carrying the child of a monster -- bound to him in a way I could never have imagined. The terror that gripped me was unlike anything I had ever experienced, rendering me utterly helpless. Sure, being here on my own was one thing. But bringing a child into the mix? I couldn’t begin to imagine it.

“Please,” I choked out, tears stinging my eyes, “don’t hurt our baby.”

A cruel laugh escaped Riot’s lips as he leaned in close, his breath hot on my face. “I’ll keep it safe, Hollis” -- his words were a twisted promise, laced with sadistic glee -- “but don’t expect anything else from me.”

I couldn’t tear my gaze away from Riot’s perverse smile, the malice in his eyes chilling me to the core. My heart pounded violently against my chest, as if trying to escape the prison that was now my life.

“Remember this well. I’ll protect you and the little one, but don’t think for a second that means I’ll love either of you.” He grabbed my chin, forcing me to meet his cold, merciless stare. “You’re mine, Hollis. Body and soul. And the kid in your belly belongs to me too.”

“Don’t do this. Not to your own baby.”

“Too late for pleading. You’re both in my world and there’s no way out.”

My mind raced with panic, desperately searching for any shred of hope. But all I found was the suffocating darkness of my new reality -- trapped, bound to a monster who reveled in my fear. The weight of it threatened to crush me, filling my throat with bile and bile alone.

“Why are you doing this? I thought things were better between us. Did something happen?”

His grip tightened around my chin, causing pain to shoot through my jaw. “Because I can. You’re mine, and I intend to keep you that way.”

Left with no other choice, I clenched my fists and steeled my resolve. If I was to survive this nightmare, I would have to rely on my own strength and resourcefulness -- the very traits that had kept me alive in Raven’s Vale thus far.

His dark gaze bore into me, and my mind raced with horrifying possibilities. As I stared into his cold eyes, I knew that fighting him would only bring more pain, more suffering. The only way to survive this nightmare was to submit to his abnormal desires, to play whatever sick game he had in store for me. Not only as a woman, but now as the mother of his child.

“Fine. I’ll do whatever you want, just don’t hurt the baby. No matter what you do, I won’t let you destroy me.” And I knew I’d have to do whatever I could to protect my child.

“Brave words. But we’ll see how long that defiance lasts. Just remember there’s nowhere you can run, nowhere you can hide from me. I own you, body and soul -- and I always will.” Riot’s dark eyes gleamed like a predator stalking its prey, an unsettling grin curving his lips. “There’s something I haven’t told you yet.”

I swallowed hard, bracing myself for whatever new torment he had in store. My hands clenched into fists at my sides, nails digging into my palms. What new form of torture was he going to unleash on me now?

“See, I went to the trouble of implanting a little GPS tracker in your body. So even if you think about running, I’ll always know exactly where to find you.”

I could feel my heart plummeting into my stomach, the weight of my situation pressing down on me beneath its oppressive darkness. How could he do such a thing to me? My thoughts were a whirlwind of fear and desperation as I grappled with the reality of my new existence. Every time I thought I’d come to accept all the parts of Riot, he’d come up with something new that sent me reeling.

“I’ve only just begun, Hollis. You haven’t even seen the depths of my darkness yet. But if it’s any consolation, that little tracker is how I was able to find you before Crash and Kane could kill you. So think on that for a bit.”

I knew my nightmare was far from over -- and that I would have to summon every ounce of strength and cunning I possessed if I wanted to outmaneuver this sadistic monster who now controlled my life. And the easiest way to set him at ease seemed to be through the use of my body. If I could entice him, then perhaps I could soothe the monster lurking inside him. Even though I hadn’t fully healed, a bit of pain was better than Riot losing control.

I could feel the weight of Riot’s gaze pulling me deeper into his twisted world. His eyes were like flames dancing across my skin, hungry for more than just my body. He wanted control over every aspect of who I was, down to the very core of my being.

His eyebrows rose as he stared at me. “I see the look in your eyes. Do you want me to fuck you?”

“And if I say yes?” I asked.

He chuckled darkly before leaning down once and capturing my lips in a searing kiss that left me breathless. His tongue danced with mine while one hand slowly drifted down toward my pussy which was already soaked through my underwear from anticipation alone.

He teased me mercilessly by running his fingers just along the edge of my panties without actually touching me where it hurt the most yet again displaying dominance over me, forcing a moan out of me despite myself as I squirmed under him wanting more… This time when his hand finally brushed against my clit it sent shockwaves through every inch of my body making lust take over any remaining semblance of rational thought.

The room spun around us as he took control both physically and mentally, pushing boundaries and breaking down walls. I heard the rip sound as he tore my panties and tossed them aside. Unbuckling his belt, he opened his jeans and pushed them down around his hips, pulling out his cock.
