Page 7 of Marked for Redemption

Startled awake, I thought I heard whispers of words and tears. I couldn’t make out what they were saying, not because I couldn’t hear, but because the words were foreign. Another language. The voice came from the woman here with me. The words were harsh, and the dialect flowed freely from her mouth. If I knew what she was saying, I could determine her tone, but without help, I couldn’t. I fought the need to rest and go back to sleep, but I was interested in what was happening with the woman.

“Alistar, yes.” were the first words I understood. Then she went back to saying foreign words.

Unable to keep up. I drifted off to sleep from the sultry voice as it relaxed me. It made little sense to invade her privacy when I didn’t know what she was saying anyway or where it came from.

A dream?

Reality?

Zendaya waited for me when I fell asleep, despite my expectations that all was lost. She waited for me like a breath of fresh air on the other side. Unable to help myself, I rushed to her, pulled her close, and took her mouth. I’d missed her and though I knew this was just another episode inside my head, she was quickly becoming something real and tangible that lived inside me.

If I ever got away, I’d deal with this illogical thing then. Until that happened, I’d be locked away with her, creating the most epic fairytale that was ever written. Her mouth danced with mine, my tongue invaded her mouth and found refuge inside. She was warm and wet at the same time that she was sweet and tender.

She tried to pull away, but I wasn’t making things as easy for her as I had the last time. She moaned into my mouth, unable to fight me anymore. Giving in to me, she wrapped her arms around my neck and jumped up to wrap her legs around my waist. I held her soft thighs in place and rounded my hands over her ass. I smacked one of her cheeks, eliciting a moan from her mouth. Fuck, but I could smell her desire as it elevated into something musky and perfumed the air we breathed. Rose water and sweetness galore.

I moved over to the wall where I pressed her back, leveraging her so that she was at my mercy. Her dress rode high on her thighs and ripped the material to get access to her heat. Touching her core, she bucked against my fingers and gasped against my mouth.

“Forgive me.” She purred as she reached between us and moved my hand to where she wanted it most. Inside her. Two digits. I moved them against the slick barrier I’d breached. Thrusting them lightly, she seemed agitated. When I increased the tempo, she sighed in relief and rode them nice and hard. This was more her speed and mine, too.

I broke away from her mouth and focused on watching her face as it contorted into something wickedly sexy. She’s been beautiful before, with her smile and the way she listened intently. Now, she was moaning and enjoying me rocking into her. It brought out a sex appeal I wasn’t expecting. The arch in her eyebrows dared me to up the stakes. Her eyes fluttered like a female baiting her mate. Her lips parted, letting out the air I stole from her lungs. If I could drink the surrounding air, I would. I knew it would taste as good as she did. Possibly even better. Speaking of taste…

I turned us, taking her to the bed that appeared behind us. Lying her down on it, then removed my fingers, and let my tongue replace it. The barbs from my tongue rolled over her clit and she gasped in shock.

“What is–” She began.

I did it again, silencing her, and she gripped the sheets above her head, moaning and riding my mouth while bucking against the sensations I created.

Her taste was ripe as if she’d marinated in her juices for days, waiting to give in to me. Unable to pull away, I smacked my lips against her, wanting more of her nectar. Moving over to her thigh, I bit the vein there, drinking from her. Feeling my strength growing, I continued until I had my fill. Then I unbuckled my pants and entered her dripping cunt. Her blood and juices mixed as I rode her hard. She scratched at my chest, riding me from underneath.

“Colton!” she screamed out when I fucked her harder. I needed more of her. Didn’t want to let her go as I tried to implant her into my mind in a way that she’d never leave.

“Mine!” I shouted in almost a state of delirium. “You stay here with me. No disappearing. No running. Just be with me. Understood?”

She hesitated, and it angered me. Furious, I fucked her relentlessly. She couldn’t leave. This was where I needed her. The way she felt, the way she smelled, the way she settled my soul. There was nowhere else for her to go.

“Yes!” she screamed as she came holding on to me. “I’ll stay. Please!” She shivered as another wave moved through her. “I’ll be yours.”

A satisfied grunt slipped free from me just as I fed from her neck. She pulled away to drink from me and it completed me indescribably. I held her to me, afraid that she’d disappear again. She didn’t. This time she lay in my arms, staying with me until we both fell asleep.

I didn’t doubt whether she’d be back this time. Something told me she would be. I didn’t receive pain afterward. Just more drugs that put me in a dreamless sleep. Not sure what changed, I didn’t ponder on it for too long. I needed the rest and if those words I’d witnessed before were any sign of my tormentors' needs. I think she needed the rest as well.

ZENDAYA

Sitting on the edge of the bed, I hung my head in shame. This wasn’t my intention. I didn’t plan on the pleasure that came from my victim. His lips against mine as we kissed, or the feel of his body as he drove into mine. Sure, it built trust between us, but it blurred the lines between enemy and lover. If I freed him, it wasn’t like we could ever be together. I’d tortured him for information and made his body betray him in more than one way. Being inside his mind manipulating distinct elements so that I could get what I wanted wasn’t how you started a relationship.

I could feel the connection between us getting stronger as if it's always been there. Like we’d done this song and dance before. He felt familiar, and even the way we’d been together inside his mind felt real and routine. Not boring and mundane, but like we have lived a thousand lives together, loving each other in all ways, including primal.

They placed this man in my torture chamber a week and a half ago, and I’d never seen his face without the cloth covering his eyes. However, we fed from one another. That part was genuine. I enjoyed his taste as he did mine.

The way he saw me was all something that I’d manipulated. His emotions were real, they were raw, and they were all his. The primal need for me was on him. I’d only wanted him to relax enough to trust me so that when I began working him over for what I needed, he’d be less resistant.

Again, the blurred lines came into perspective. He’d fucked and claimed me as his. Made me promise to come back to him, and he’d branded me with love bites along my neck.

Looking down at the mess of the bed we had made. Orgasms I couldn’t control because of him. I’d soiled the sheets, providing proof of what I’d done. I was getting in over my head, and I felt like there was nothing I could do to pull myself back from the mess I was in. Stripping off all my clothes, I washed them in the sink and hung them to dry. The sheets were next and then I took a bath in the metal tub. Refreshed, I dabbed the rose water over my neck and wrist before getting dressed in clean clothes.

Grabbing one of the two buckets and putting soap inside the water that filled it. In the second one, there was just clean cold water. Walking into the main room, I stood in front of Colton and threw the sudsy water over his body. He gasped. I understood because he’d been asleep when I’d entered, and now he was trying to breathe through the shock. The water dripped from his body, glistening while sloshing down to the floor. I mimicked those same actions with the plain water, rinsing the soap away.

While he got over the initial shock, I used the leftover water to push the filth and waste down the drain. It got rid of the sour smell coming from him and the room. Old blood and semen rinsed away.
