In my goal to become a good leader for my sector I’ve studied the history of how thesuperious, wrested control of Earth from the homo sapiens, although it was more like we reclaimed what had been ours to begin with.
The lesser evolved humans had made such a mess of the planet with their environmental disasters, wars, genocides and divisiveness on who they decided to worship, it had been on the brink of collapse.
Thesuperioushad come to power and put together a system they deemed fair for its own citizens and the homo sapiens as well. It’s how the Registry came to be. But somewhere along the line, corruption had crept into this system as well.
No one knew this as well as I did. In our society, as asuperiousyou either had great wealth or great strength to be important in our society. What no one talked about were thesuperiouswho had neither. They were seen as no better thanthe homo sapiens with lower paying positions, usually those in service.
My mother had been a member of the secretary unit in the fortress when my uncle was Sector Leader. An attractivesuperiousfemale, she’d caught the eye of the Sector Leader’s younger brother and an affair commenced.
I don’t know what my mother’s motive had been to start a relationship with my father, but apparently she pushed to marry my father even though he was betrothed to someone my uncle had deemed a more suitable match.
My father had rebelled and ended up challenging my uncle according to the story I’d been told. The challenge resulted in my father’s death and my mother’s banishment from the fortress.
By then my mother had been pregnant with me but my uncle didn’t give a fuck.
Those early years, we struggled, living among the homo sapiens in old buildings that were on the cusp of collapse. We had no one, because my mother was disowned by her parents for disgracing them with the Sector Leader’s brother.
We lived hand to mouth. In my tenth year, my mother, still an attractive woman gained the attention of a wealthy businessman who said he would take care of her. As long as she abandoned me.
From then on, I basically lived on the streets, learning how to take care of myself, hunting in my beast form, and fighting when necessary. I lived as an animal for a big chunk of my life to survive. When I got old enough, I found work where I could. In my teens, I discovered an underground fighting ring where I could earn money to support myself and live somewhat comfortably.
I went undefeated and gained my reputation as “The Beast”
After one of my matches, I was approached by some officials who served under the Sector Leader. Somehow word about myfeat in the underground rings had made it to his radar and he wanted to meet me.
My life had drastically changed since then, but I will never forget those days living hand to mouth, or how my mother had left me without a backward glance.
I don’t know if she’s dead or alive but I’ve never sought her out since she left me. Maybe she’s ashamed of what she’d done, but I’d hardened my heart to everyone since then. The only one I’d let close to me was Braeden.
But now Jamie...
We haven’t known each other long but I have this need to hold and protect her even when I know she hates everything I stand for and have vowed to uphold.
I’m not good with handling my emotions and being around her confuses me, but when I’m not close to her, she’s constantly on my mind.
As I let the water run down my body, I image how good she’d felt in my arms, her scent, her taste. I’m so deep in thought, I image her in the shower with me, slender arms, wrapped around my body.
But then I’m hit with that smell. Even amongst the mist generated by the shower, its strong and makes my body quake.
I turn around and there she is, staring up at me with big brown eyes. It hasn’t been that long since I’d lost control and ravaged her like the animal I’ve been accused of being.
I had wanted to be gentle with her but the second I was inside her warmth, I became a mindless beast. I cup her face in my palms and take in her beauty committing every single one of her delicate features to memory. I didn’t think it possible to feel so strongly for someone I’d only recently met. I wanted nothing more than to slam her against the wall and sink myself so deep inside her until I didn’t know where she began and I ended.
“So, beautiful.”
Her small pink tongue darts out and circles her lips.
My cock is so fucking hard, I’m quickly losing the resolve to resist the sweet temptation of her body.
“We can’t, I groan.”
“Why not?” She raises herself on the tip of her toes and places a kiss against my jaw.
“It’s too soon afterwards. Your body needs time to recover.”
She places another kiss on my jaw. “Remember you told me my body will adjust to yours? I’ll be fine.”
She places kisses on my chest and grazes my nipples with her tongue.
