Chapter 9 Challenging Himself!

• Aurora's POV
• I stepped back when he placed me down. I know my eyes had shown him nothing but my weakness.
• I was still trembling with the cold and my hair was dripping.
• He looked at me with a blank look like he didn't notice me stepping back but he did. He noticed it and that was my first realisation that if he is calm then he is more mad.
• "We can visit the swimming pool again, if you insist..."
• He cocked his eyebrow.
• "Are you going to rape me?"
• I sobbed while clutching on my arms tightly as if it would have saved me.
• "Rape?"
• He chuckled.
• "I would call it pleasure..."
• I followed his movements when he went to my closet and grabbed a towel.
• I couldn't understand what he meant, how can I get pleasure when I don't want him to touch me. When I am terrified of him.
• I flinched when he stood behind me and started drying my wet hair. He ruffled them gently.
• "Rape is when woman doesn't enjoy it, it hurts her, she feels disgusted and she doesn't feel good..."
• I stood there frozen while he dried my hair.
• "You, my little Vixen... You are going to enjoy each and every touch... You will cry for more..."
• He leaned down and his breath fanned my ears.
• "You will hate me still you won't be able to resist my touch..."
• I gulped at his promising words.
• It's not like I am a virgin, I had a relationship before but it was with consent.
• I started sobbing hard when he tossed the towel away and unbuttoned his wet shirt. His muscles were puffed out like there is no fat stored in them. I had never seen such a fit body. It was like he was proving that he is stronger than me. I didn't want him to prove anything to me.
• He eyed me as he threw his wet shirt away.
• "Tell me, Angel... How many men have touched you before?"
• I shivered when he stepped towards me.
• My lips wobbled when he grabbed my chin and forced me to look at him. I didn't do anything wrong, I was in a relationship and had a physical connection still it felt wrong when I looked into his eyes.
• I was afraid that he wouldn't like it, he will overreact and won't take it well. I thought he would punish me.
• "One"
• I whispered weakly.
• "Louder!"
• He ordered with a clenched jaw. I knew he won't like it.
• I flinched in his hold.
• "One!"
• I answered loudly.
• "When was the last time?"
• His eyes threw fire at me.
• "7 months!"
• I gulped as my breathing became uneven.
• "No, sorry 8 months!"
• My mind had stopped working at that moment.
• "7 or 8?"
• He asked firmly.
• I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.
• "8 months"
• I released a shaky breath.
• "Name?"
• My eyes snapped open when he asked that. He was going to hurt him or me.
• "W_Why?"
• I asked scared.
• His grip tightened on my jaw making me whimper.
• "NAME?"
• He growled at my face and my heart shook with terror.
• It scared the shit out of me when I saw those angry eyes.
• "Maximus Hatson!"
• I cried out.
• He finally released my jaw and grabbed his phone which was in his pocket.
• "Maximus Hatson, I Want him in the dungeon"
• My eyes almost popped out of their sockets when he said dungeon, I couldn't think what he exactly meant by that as I was not aware of his profession and identity. And whom did he order?
• "What are you going to do?"
• I asked like a stupid when I clearly had an idea of what he was thinking.
• "Wish him luck for his next life"
• He mocked as he placed his phone away.
• Tears couldn't stop when I realised that Maximus was going to get hurt because of me.
• Rafael placed his hand on my cheek.
• "Only I have right on this body and soul... No one touches it and if anyone has done it then they won't be living on this earth anymore. It'll be me and only me."
• I couldn't understand what to say. He was crazy.
• He grabbed the hem of my top and slowly started pulling up.
• "Please, don't rape me"
• I pleaded.
• "One more word and you will regret opening your mouth tonight..."
• He warned me when he took off my top and dropped it on the floor.
• His eyes darkened when he saw me in a bra. It was a push up bra so it was giving an extra lift to it.
• I tried to hide it while crossing my arms and he placed his hands on my hips.
• I closed my eyes and tears escaped when his hands travelled on my curves. He released the knot of my shorts and let it fall.
• I felt his hand on my shoulder as he caressed my shoulder blade.
• "You are perfect."
• I flinched when his lips touched the mole which was just above my left boob.
• My breathing got shaky when he unclasped my bra but my hands wrapped around it didn't let it fall. I couldn't open my eyes due to shame.
• "Open your eyes!"
• He ordered and I did. I was so scared of him that I couldn't understand what to do other than following his instructions.
• His eyes didn't leave mine as he pushed down my wet panty from my waist and left me naked in front of him. My attempts to hold the bra in place were futile. It didn't help and fell down eventually.
• He stood there admiring my body for a good time like his eyes can't leave the sight while I was shaking with fear and shame.
• "I don't believe in God, or else I would have asked him, how many years he took to make you..."
• I would have flattened on this comment coming from a man in any other situation but not this.
• His hand wrapped around me as he pulled me against his chest and I felt his hardness on my belly.
• I closed my eyes shut when he placed his hand on the side of my neck and captured my lips.
• I froze, not knowing what to do. I couldn't gather the courage to push him away knowing that it was wrong. He was harassing me. His other hand roamed on my hips and curves, sending shivers in my body. He placed his hand on my thigh and easily lifted me up which made me gasp and clutch on his shoulders tightly. He grabbed the opportunity and slid his tongue inside my mouth.
• It dominated my tongue, sucked on it like he owns it. His lips sucked the life out of my lips and what terrified me was, my pussy started throbbing in need. I wasn't supposed to feel that, I was supposed to feel disgusted and not turned on. His hardness rubbed on my heat and my nipples perked up for attention. I felt the need to get touched there but it was wrong.
• My mind screamed at me.
• He placed me down and broke the kiss. That kiss was against my will but it didn't feel dirty, it didn't feel forced, it wasn't gross. I had no idea why I felt like that but the man really knew how to kiss and manipulate the body of a woman.
• "Hated it?"
• He smirked, clearly noticing that I didn't struggle while he was kissing me.
• "Don't worry, I am not going to pleasure you tonight"
• He gently caressed my lips.
• "You know why?"
• He asked.
• I shook my head.
• "This is the last time I am telling you gently to use your words when I ask you to speak."
• He warned. Making my insides shake.
• "No! I don't know"
• I gulped.
• "Because you still think that you can get away from me... There are hopes that you will be rescued... You haven't understood it yet"
• He smirked while patting my head.
• "I will claim your body when that hope leaves your body and you won't have any left... When you will know that I am everything and everywhere and you have no escape... That time I'll touch you and you will have no energy to stop me..."
• I shouldn't have felt horrified with his words but he held a promise and it was a bad thing.
• He scooped, me in his arms and placed me on the bed. If he wasn't going to touch me then why did he strip me. Why did he snatch my dignity from me.
• I was relieved that he wasn't going to touch me that night but still I couldn't trust him. His hardness was bulging out in his trousers. It looked painful.
• My eyes followed his directions when he grabbed his ringing phone and I covered myself in a bedsheet.
• He answered his phone and his expressions changed.
• "Find that person!"
• He ordered and disconnected the call.
• I closed my eyes when he looked at me and I felt him beside me after sometime. He wasn't in his trousers and I could feel his hardness on my back.
• He wrapped his hand around me and pulled me closer. My head touched his chest and felt his warmth. He was really warm.
• As he promised, he didn't touch me sexually but his hold was dominant. It was unbelievable that a wicked man like him controlled his desires, looked like he loved to challenge himself.
• His finger travelled in my wet hair as he caressed my hair. I would have misunderstood this action as an affection if he wouldn't have tried to drown me in the pool a few minutes back.
• "Where is your ex now?"
• He asked out of nowhere and I looked at him.
• "I don't know"
• I mumbled.
• "He didn't contact me after the breakup."
• I answered honestly.
• "Reason for breakup?"
• He threw another question.
• "I broke up because he was insecure and started abusing because men stared at me."
• I closed my eyes when I realised that this is not the first time my beauty had become my enemy.
• Maximus and I were really happy until he decided to feed his mind with doubts and insecurity.
• "So you had no idea that he died 7 months ago?"
• He declared and my head snapped towards him.
• "How?"
• I couldn't take the shock, Maximum was dead? I should have checked on him when he suddenly stopped texting me. I thought he respected my decision of not keeping any contact.
• He never introduced me to his family or friends so I had no one who could inform me.
• "You are so unaware of your surroundings, Angel!"
• Rafael smirked, happy that the man he was going to kill is already dead.
• And I realised that if I don't act against him then I was going to end up dead soon.
