Chapter 3

• After cleaning her plate, Lexie was forced to bathe, then coerced to haul on a tight fitted dress. He was taking her out and as his fiancé, he said she had to look her best.
• Her makeup was heavily done, her hair styled with bands and gel, her nails polished and properly groomed. She felt like a doll, beautiful yet fake, but it seems to him, she was beautiful and awfully real, at least that was how she seem to look in his eyes.
• She was standing atop of the staircase, a frown etched across her lips as his eyes assessed her. At the moment, his eyes didn't seem empty and dark, they had this little speck of light in them along with a pool of adoration.
• He was smiling, the tips of his lips almost touching his ears. Momentarily, she didn't feel fear busting through her veins...why?
• Well because he looked so innocent, way too innocent to kidnap and beat a woman into unconsciousness.
• But she knew better, she got the kidnap and the beating first hand, oh and don't forget, she got a piece of his demanding self too.
• He didn't ask questions, he spat out commands and right now, her going out with him was one of those commands. He had already told her the rules...well rule and also its repercussion.
• Stay by my side. Move an inch and I'll cut off your toes.
• His eyes had been dark and empty then and she was scared... Why?
• Well because she could tell that out of those...1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12, 13, ye 13 words that left his lips, a whole sum of...well thirteen of them were him being brutally honest.
• Who wouldn't be scared of losing their damn toes?
• Certainly not her....
• Sighing, she stepped down the stairs, tensing up the moment she breached the last one. His eyes hadn't left her, not even when he grabbed her arm and carefully entangled it with his.
• "We're going to the mall, I'm not use to such crowded and combustible space. I hope you'll be kind enough to direct me to the clothes sections."
• Lexie felt it when her throat ran dry and without even thinking it out, she nodded. "I-I...I will."
• Seeming please enough, his eyes left her and in less than a second he was striding to his door, automatically taking her with him.
• He took out a keychain filled with multiple keys and used one to penetrate the knob before pulling open the door.
• The outside came into view then and she watched the grass and trees with so much interest that anyone would think it was her first time seeing them.
• Her eyes shifted to the blue car seated in his driveway and immediately after, she noticed some serious people standing beside it.
• There were two of them and both were dressed in a suit of black. Their eyes were blank, their feet straight and their hands by their sides.
• They looked like statues, f*cking statues and it didn't seem like they'd be of any help to her. It was obvious that they were his bodyguard, they were getting paid to protect him, not her.
• Pulling down her dress, she conceded to his steps as he lead her to his car. The men standing beside it bowed, then opened the backseat for him to enter.
• He gestured her inside and she had no other option but to hesitantly enter.
• Why was he taking her to the mall with him anyway?
• She never once told him she'd like to accompany him. In fact, the last time she checked, the only place she asked to go was home, yet here he was taking her to a damn mall.
• Huffing, she shuffled to the edge of the seat as he came in after her. She didn't want his skin touching hers, she didn't even want to breathe the same air this psycho does, yet when he closed the door behind him and looked over at her, her internal tantrum ceased.
• "Come here." He sighed, lips pulling up in a mischievous smile.
• Lexie didn't move, she wouldn't, not when moving any closer to him would hurt her pride.
• On the other side of the car, Zheme watched her with a glare, he had thought being patient would solve this problem, but he was wrong and his damn patience was wearing thin.
• "Lexie Shay Dillon." He drawled, eyes narrowing even more. "I thought I told you to come here."
• The girl visibly tensed, her eyes becoming glossy as she shuffled an inch closer.
• 'Oh, intimidation is the only thing that demises her stubbornness.'
• Zheme smirked at that. "Come. closer. Lexie." his voice was cold and it held finality, yet again only an inch closer she came.
• Frustrated, he grabbed her, then lifted her until she sat in his lap.
• She gasped, trying to shuffle out, but he held her tight. "I told you to come closer." He sighed, fingers running up her chest until they laid loosely around her neck. "This wasn't what I had planned, but since you disobeyed me, this is punishment."
• He pulled her flushed against his chest, then slowly removed the hand from her neck. He ran said hand back down her chest, using it to pull up her dress and widen her tightly closed legs.
• Lexie tensed, once again trying to escape such shame, but the hand tightly wrapped around her waist stopped her.
• "You shouldn't have disobeyed me." His fingers slid her panty aside and just that alone managed to shatter her pride, her fight as well as the dam behind her eyes.
• She started crying, eyes running water like a sea as his finger caressed the flesh between her essence.
• "Stop crying Lexie, punishments were meant to be given."
• He shoved her legs further apart, index finger penetrating the tight and surprisingly wet cavern. "Tell me you're sorry, tell me you'll never disobey me again and maybe I'll stop."
• Lexie nodded quickly, heart palpitating rapidly, mind lost in space and her useless body succumbing to the pleasure his invading finger surprisingly brought with it...yet still... "I-I...I'm sorry, I'll n-never do it again." She fessed, taking deep breaths to swallow the whimpers of pleasure that bubbled up her throat.
• Zheme smiled, sliding his sticky finger over her clit one last time before removing it and slipping her panty back in it's place. He placed her back on the car seat and slowly wiped away her tears. "Look how beautiful you are," he sighed. "That's what I wanted to tell you, but you disobeyed me and these tears that are now spoiling your beauty will always be the outcome of your disobedience."
• He smiled even wider, running an arm up her thigh. "So today, I dare you to leave my side Lexie and my punishment will again make you cry."
