Page 14 of You Will Bow

I close my eyes and fight my body like it’s my own worst enemy as I nod in response to his statement. When I open them again, he’s grinning, and I ascertain that my nonverbal acceptance is equivalent to signing my name inblood. Lev will hold me to this deal, come hell or high water.

“Good.”

His hand slides gracefully up my arm, the skin beneath my bubblegum pink knitted sweater prickling. It’s an old sweater and I thoughtwearing it might make me feel more like me again. The truth is, I still don’t know the person under these layers. She’s more of a stranger to me than the guy who’s pushing me down on my knees.

“Have you ever sucked cock before, Trouble?”

I wince at his words as I lower myself to the ground, head hung low in shame. “Yes,” I tell him, truthfully. It was only once and I had no idea what I was doing, but it was enough for the guy to come within three minutes, so I must have done something right.

“Then you’ll have no problem now.”

I listen intently to the sound of his zipper coming down. When his jeans drop, pooling at his ankles in front of me, I draw in a deep breath and fill my lungs in preparation for what I’m about to do.

As much as I don’t want to do this, I know I have to. Lev made it very clear that I will be hispetif I want my secret safe. Apparently, this fucking asshole thinks thatthisis the way to fix the broken parts of him.

Reaching down, Lev lifts my chin until I’m looking right at his erect cock. My eyes widen in surprise when I see not only how big he is, but also the three silver barbells on his shaft. I’ve never seen a guy with his dick pierced, and it’s actually really sexy.I should’ve known he'd be pierced and hung like a horse. Someone with such a big mouth would have a large dick decked out in jewelry. His girth is astounding. I might not even be able to wrap my fingers around him. He’s at least 8 inches in length—maybe more. He’s cleanly shaved, which is nice. I’d hate to be pulling one of his curly black pubes out of my teeth later as a reminder of this shameful act. One might think they’d be blond, but the black stubble leads me to believe the hair on his head is colored that way. It’s funny he picked white, being such a contrast to his black soul.

“Well,” Lev grumbles as he strokes himself in front of my face. “You just gonna stare at it, or you gonna put it in your mouth.”

“Just this once? Then never again?”

He chuckles cruelly, ice-cold eyes regarding me. “No, Trouble. This is only the beginning.”

Lord have mercy on me. I should bite the fucking thing and run, or better yet, yank on one of those barbells. Temptation gnaws at my insides. But I can’t do that. He’d catch me. There’s not a doubt in my mind. And once he did, the consequences could be far worse. I’m not opposed to sucking him off. It’s degrading, but it’s better than letting him between my legs. So I’ll suck it up—no pun intended—and I’ll do this in hopes that he feels absolutely nothing and realizes what a stupid fucking plan this is.

Before I can even take it upon myself to put him in my mouth, Lev grips my cheeks with tenacity, forcing my mouth open. Guiding me toward him, he continues to stroke himself. Then he pushes until my lips part far and wide, and he slips the head inside.

“That’s right. Open big for me, Trouble.”

My stomach twists and turns until it feels like a hollow organ.

An audible gasp escapes him and his legs tremble in front of me. Lev thinks I’m the antidote to his illness—to his lack of empathy or emotion. I don’t know how or why, but it has me wondering how long it’s been since he’s had any sort of sexual interaction with a girl. In a way, the thought of me being the first in a very long time is gratifying. Like I really am his chosen one.

My hand lifts slowly, shaking as I wrap my fingers around his girth, taking care not to graze his piercing.

“Does that hurt?” I muffle around him. I’m not sure why I asked, or why I even care.

“No.” His voice is husky.

As predicted, my fingers barely touch when they’re wrapped around him. He is so fucking big. As his head swells even more in my mouth, I pray that he’s at his full erection. Bobbing my head back and forth, I suck on the shallow end, dragging my tongue with each movement. My hand glides with my saliva coating his silky cock and I repeat the motions, hoping it’s enough.

His piercings graze my tongue as I explore the metal with my mouth. It’s a different sensation, both strange and thrilling.

When he steps one foot out of his jeans, then the other, spreading his legs wider, I pick up my pace in hopes of hurrying this along.

Give it all you’ve got, Riley. This will be over soon enough.

His fingers rake through my hair and he gets a good grip before forcing me to move faster. I can barely keep up with his rhythm.

Not a word is spoken from him, but when a low growl escapes from the back of his throat, I’m certain he’s enjoying this.

At least one of us is.

Dragging my teeth along the corded purple veins of his cock, I suck in a breath. The salty taste of precum dabs against my tongue and to my surprise, my stomach doesn’t curl. I assumed Lev’s bodily fluids would make me vomit at his feet.

Lev bunches my hair in his hand and groans. “Fuck.” Rocking my head back and forth, he glides himself in and out of my wet mouth.

I clench my thighs at the sound of his voice. So masculine and raspy. Even though it’shim, I can’t help but feel some sort of satisfaction, knowing I’m the one making him feel good. This monstrous man, who claims to feel nothing, is moaning over the pleasureIam bringing him. It’s the drive I need to finish the job.
