Chapter 11
ELEIA’S POV
—
For the first time in years , I didn’t clean , I didn’t do anything except enjoy my day with Rosie .
It was magical to see her smile , a genuine smile , as she picked out clothes and shoes and chose her .
But now it was time for the worst part of my day .
“We’ll do it after the shower , okay ?” Aiden cups my cheek as I absentmindedly stare at the tub of cream , the burning sensation in my chest doesn’t go away until Aiden grabs my chin between his fingers , making me look up at him .
I nod , the vile in my chest at just the thought of it makes my bottom l*p tremble .
I know it hurts because Rosie doesn’t just scream like that , it must be worse than the whip sessions we had because even then , she’s just whimper next to me .
The only thing that calmed us was each other , to know the other is right there .
“Come .” Aiden nods towards the bathroom door and I stand up with shaky legs , praying that whatever is going to happen , that it won’t hurt as much .
“Stop .” I g***n as he washes my body with the dark grey sponge .
“Why ?” His hand lightly wraps around my wrist as he washes my arm , even if it’s the third time I begged him to stop .
“You know why .” I try to jerk my hand back , but I just keep on hurting myself .
I try to grab the sponge , but he raises it into the air , grinning down at me .
“I can’t take it .” I snap , every fibre of my body is on fire from his hands roaming every inch of me .
I want him so bad that I am willing to start begging , to drop to my knees and beg .
“Can’t take what ?” He sighs , seeming so oblivious to my arousal that even I can smell .
“I want you and you just won’t let me be at peace , you have to tease me .” I snap and his eyes widen , his arm lowering and he slowly hands me the sponge .
He shakes his head , his black hair shiny as the light falls over the wetness of his hair .
“I didn’t mean to .” He breathes out apologetically and now I hate myself for snapping at him .
I inhale a deep breath , dropping the sponge to the floor as I step forward , pressing my aching body against his , my hands flat against his chest before they slide up his slippery skin , over the mountains that is his shoulders and I intertwine my fingers at his nape , “Please .” I beg , batting my wet eyelashes at him .
He stares down at me dumbfounded , as if not knowing what I’m asking .
“Eleia .” He sighs , his head c*****g to the side , his ocean blues boring into my minty greens .
“What ?” My sigh drags from deep in my chest .
“It’s not the time .” His eyes are so innocent , his entire face calm and collected , but his words are destroying me .
Am I not good enough for him ?
Does the thought of Regan inside of me first piss him off ?
Am I now disgusting to him ?
How long am I suppose to wait ?
“Okay .” I nod , not voicing any of my thoughts and he smiles before washing himself while I stand in the corner of the shower , gawking at his lean body , his back muscles , his biceps that are large , his tight a*s , rock hard abs , long and thick c**k…
Regan himself was fit , large and beyond muscular , but Aiden is built like a god .
His skin looks toned , his veins pop at every corner , his jaw is so sharp that I would believe him if he told me it could cut my finger like a paper cut .
He’s like a model , a gym model , but not over muscled .
He’s perfect .
“Aren’t you going to shower ?” He asks as he drags his large hands through his soaked hair .
My eyes flick from his raven coloured hair to his blue orbs , “Yeah , I just thought you might want to finish up first .” I shrug and he tuts , shaking his head before reaching for me , his hand slipping past my arm , resting on my waist before he tugs me closer .
My legs practically fly to him and he turns me around , my back facing his front .
“Under the water .” He demands , but it’s a soft tone , as if he’s asking .
I do as he says and while my hair soaks under the running heated water , his hands drag through my hair , making sure every inch gets wet .
“Now wash yourself , I’m going to get dressed .” He leans forward as I step out of under the water and k****s me on the cheek , his soft lips grazing my skin makes my insides twist in excitement .
I stare at him as he dries his hair , his back turned to me , his back muscles tensing and relaxing as his hand shake .
He wraps the towel around his torso before walking to the door and I sigh , dragging my gaze back to the tiled wall in front of me before I turn and wash my hair and myself .
I can’t help but stand aside and wait for him to shower , we use to be more than twenty girls who shares two showers .
When we took long because we washed out hair or shaved our legs with razor blades , the other would stare at us , the bullies , before forcing us to get out , threatening us with their own blades or worse , their fists .
Scrapes are fast and they heal in about a day’s time , but the punches last for a few minutes of pain .
I was never beaten , but I saw one of the older girls do it when I was small .This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
The girl couldn’t walk and the rest covered and claimed that she slipped and broke her leg or ankle and that she’s be back the next day when it healed .
But the worst of the worst is , the Luna didn’t care .
She just went on with her day , she didn’t ask about the poor girl laying almost lifeless .
A shiver runs down my spine and I snap myself out of thoughts before rinsing my hair and body before getting out .
Stepping onto the mat , the water droplets roll off my body , falling around at my feet and I glance at the towel hanging from the railing .
I touch it and the warmth makes me smile , the heated rail is something fancy I have never seen and as I lift the towel off it , the red light turning off and I place my hand over the railing , not touching it , only hovering slightly and I could feel it cool down .
I dry my body before wrapping the heated material around my body .
The warmth does nothing to soothe the ache between my legs , but the fear of knowing what’s coming has my b***d running cold .
I step out of the bathroom and see Aiden sitting shirtless , in just shorts , on the bed , his hands clasped around the tub of cream that he has to put on my back .
“I just want to get dressed .” I mutter as I walk to his closet , he made space in it for me , but not much because his clothes are only on one side , as if he had waited for me all his life .
I smile as I dress into the only set of pajama’s I have here , for now , it’s a short cotton pants and a matching t – shirt like top which is cropped , but keeps my stomach closed .
I wrap the towel around my head , squeezing my hair before I bend forward and let the towel unravel from my hair .
I turn to the doorframe of my the walk in closet before I tug my shirt off me , holding up in front of my breasts , using my hand to hold it there before I walk out of the closet , walking out with my dark locks cascading down my back , the dampness wetting my flesh .
“I’m done .” I mutter and he lifts his intense stare from the tub , his hooded eyes widening as his eyes lock on me .
I gulp , my hand clutching the material against my breasts .
“Are you ready ?” He breathes out as he stands and I nod .
“Lay on your stomach .” He motions to the bed and I follow the simple instruction .
I crawl onto the soft mattress , tossing my shirt aside before I toss my hair above my head .
I lay with my cheek denting the mattress , a shiver filled with fear running down my spine and I inhale as the bed dips on the edge side .
“I don’t want to do this .” Aiden’s voice is soft , almost cracking and my eyes glass over .
I shouldn’t cry .
There is no reason to cry .
“Then don…” , “But I have to .” He cuts me off and I nod .
I brace myself as he swings one leg over my body and he pinches my legs between his .
I listen as he takes the top off the tub , the screwing sound making my body tense .
“I’m going to start .” He breathes out and I nod , my tongue pressed between my teeth .
“I know this is going to hurt , but I need you to try your best not to scream and cry .” He pleads with me .
“I will try my best .” My voice shakes and the cold cream connects with my back , starting at the top .
At first it stings and I think it’s not that bad , that the whiplashes were worse , but then it starts to burn and I don’t think much of the fiery sensation because it felt like keeping a hand over a hot flame , until it began to feel like someone threw me into the flame .
A scream ripples through me as he continues to spread the cream down my back , over the gashes .
“f**k , stop .” He pleads and I could feel his hands shake against my skin .
Another yell rips through me , a force I can’t stop and for the split second , I wished that it would rather be a whiplash .
“Please .” His voice cracks and I feel hot liquid on my skin , the kind of warm you get from fresh tears .
My hands fist the bedding , my teeth bared so tight that my jaw hurts and I think I might break my teeth , shatter them .
“I’m sorry .” He croaks out , his hands working faster and the top of my back doesn’t hurt that much anymore .
But the bottom burns like flames being set on my skin .
“Keep… going…” I grit out , knowing that his heart is breaking because he has to do this to me , to see me like this .
Yell after yells escapes my lips and I feel him get off , but everything is still set on fire .
I squirm on the bed , swaying side to side and a cool breeze falls over my back , cooling me down until the fiery feeling fades .
My body collapses , numbing from how intense it was and I let out a breath .
