“Don’t fucking touch her.”
I spin at those words, at the voice of my husband, and see him standing in the hall. I take a step towards him, then stop, not sure what to do when I feel this disgusting. I go to claw at my arms, needing the comfort of pain, but there’s something in his eyes that stopsme.
“You promised me, Sau.”
My lips wobbling, I take a step towards him. He opens his arms, and I run, tripping over my feetto get to him. Ifall against his chest, and he stands rigid for just a second before his arms come around me. Then he lifts me into the air. My legs go around him, and Aleric’s cum presses into my pussy, making me stiffen. I whimper as I try to push off him, but he just holds me tighter.
“I’m so sorry, Sau. I’m so sorry I let him take you.”
I cry, burying my head into the crook of his neck, not caring for once that I’m being weak, anembarrassmentto the Shadow name. “I’m…sorry I…”
“Shhhh,” he says as he turnsto head down the hall. “It’s not your faultyour body reacted, sweet girl. It’s just anatomy.”
I shake my head, crying. Snot runs down my nose and past my lips.“Itis…”
“It’snot.Listen to me.” He presses his lips tothe top of my headand drops his voice. “Our mother was in love with another woman when she was forced to marry our father. So he raped her every night to ‘fix her.’ She hated him with all she had and tried to kill him multiple times. But that didn’t stop her from…‘screaming’ every night. Our bodies aren’t always connected to our minds,sweet girl. It’s not your fault.”
I tremble against him, the guilt inside me so fucking strong. “But –”
“No buts. You didn’t want it,did you?”
I shake my head.
“Then thatis all that matters.”
Tears burn my throat as Icling to him. He’s too good for me, but I am too selfish to let him go to find someone who will be good to him. Who won’t just be a disease that wears him down.
I need his love for me when I am too broken to love myself.
Entering our room, he headsstraight for the ensuite.He stops in front of the showerand puts me down inside theceramictub,but I grab his arm when he reaches for the tap.
My heart racing, I work my tongue around my mouth a couple times before I manage to choke out the words, “His cum…I have it. You can use that…to kill him?”
His jaw clenches as his eyes narrow on me. “Herapedyou? I only saw right up to the moment he phased.”
I shake my head, grabbing hold of my anger rather than my shame. “The idiot gave me back my underwear.”
His eyes dip down, anger flashing in them, and I flinch away, knowing that my husband watched me cum on the vampire’s fingers. Watched me fuck them to save my own pathetic life.
His eyes soften as he exhales, but he doesn’t look at me. Perhaps he can’t in this moment. Not that I can blame him. I can’t look him in the eye right now either. I don’t deserve his love.
My hands shaking, I reach beneath my dress and pull down the rayon satin covered in Aleric’s cum...and mine. My cheeks hot, I hand them over to my husband.
He turns them inside out.
His nostrils flare.
His eyes narrow.
Andhis knuckles turn white as he clenches my panties in his fists.
“You got so fucking wet,” he says, his wordsheavilystrained. “Was it Aleric or Antonio that made you act like a whore?”
I flinch, drawing away from him. “Caden?”
He holds up my underwear in one hand while the other snaps forward and grabs me roughly by the arm. “Answer me. Was it Antonio orAlericwhomade you wetter than a whore?”
“I…You said…”I yelp as his fingers tighten around me. “You’re hurting me.”
