Seventeen
ARTEMISIA
I woke up again some hours later.
I turned to glance at the time on the wall clock that was above the headboard of the bed.
10:00 AM
I slept until the next morning. Normally, if I wasn’t suffering from a hangover, I would have woken up two times before morning came.
I was that weird. Most times, I didn’t know the reason for waking up at that particular time. Whilst sometimes, it was due to nightmares.
However, I was glad that none happened, or maybe it did, and I couldn’t remember.
Sighing, I glanced around the room and I glimpsed a pink sticky note which was attached to the nightstand.
“Eat.”
My stomach chose the time to grumble, and I winced as I felt a twinge at my side.
“I need to eat,” I stated, placing the sticky note back where it was.
I stepped down from the bed and walked to the bathroom.
My head didn’t feel as heavy as before, where it seemed like I was carrying the weight of the world. Also, I could see clearly.
I clutched the faucet and twisted it. Water gushed out of it and I set my hand underneath.
I let out a relieved sigh as the cool water wetted my hands.
Narrowing my eyes as I gaze at myself in the mirror, I noticed I had bags underneath my eyes, plus it was as if I didn’t get any sleep last night.
But, I was aware it was because of the Brandy I had stolen and drank from Sin’s collection.
I wondered what had got into me.
I never drank nor partied. Okay, maybe I had done that once. But, it was a long time.
Last night, the reason I got drunk was different. I felt like I needed to be free. I wanted out of the bondage I was in.
“You’ve been staring at yourself for too long. What are you trying to point out?”
Startled, I swirled. My hand clutched the white sink and I let out a loud shriek as my eyes locked on Sin, who had a smirk on his face.
“You should f*cking learn how to knock!”
“Language, young lady.” Sin scolded.
“You are not my mother!” I glared at him. “You almost gave me a heart attack.”
He shrugged and stepped further into the room.
As he continued to stare at me, I noticed he did not feel remorse for hitting me. Rather, he continued to smirk. Then it turned into a chuckle.
“It’s my house and I don’t…”
“Have to knock,” I said, cutting him off. “I could have been naked!”
“So?” Sin mumbled.
“So… you could have seen me,” I said.
“And lest I remind you, you are my wife now. I own every part of you.” Sin stepped to where I was near the mirror.
I couldn’t move away because I had nowhere else to go. Even if I wanted to run, I was sure he would catch me. Also, I remember he had locked the door before coming to my side.
“I’m not a commodity!” I huffed, rolling my eyes.
“Of course, darling. You aren’t.”
I winced as he gripped my chin. His other hand undid the buttons of my robe, and he pulled it off me.
“W-what are you doing?” I stuttered.
“Claiming you.” He said, simply.
Before I could protest or shove him off me, he closed my mouth with his.
My intention to fight him shattered as his lips were on mine. My eyeballs rolled into my head as he kissed me in a frenzy.
His hand tore the lacy nightgown I donned, and he cupped my naked backside, kneading it.
I moaned into his mouth, and he used the opportunity to slip his tongue into my mouth.
No one had ever kissed like this before. Heck, I had never been this intimate with a man!
Being with Sin made me want to do a lot of naughty things, even though it was the last thing on my mind.
“S-Sin…”
He removed his lips from mine and scrutinized me.
I noticed I was now naked, but I didn’t bother covering my body. I don’t know what got into me to be this bold.
Likewise, I wanted more of him. I wanted to feel his lips on mine again.
Slowly, I stepped toward him, licking my lips. I didn’t know what I was doing, but it thrilled me to see the move affected him.
“Mine!” He growled and swooped me into his muscular arms.
His lips came down on mine once more, and he strode towards the locked door.
I wasn’t aware of when he unlocked the door, but I met myself on the bed, and he was already parting my thighs.
He widened my legs, and he bent at the foot of the bed.
My eyes went round as his head went in between my thighs. “What are you doing?”
I attempted to clasp my legs, but he pulled them apart and tore my panties.
My core dampened at how rough he was, and I felt him slip a finger inside me.
The emotion was different from the one I had got from the kiss.
“Beautiful and mesmerizing.” Sin growled.
I watched in bewilderment as he slipped the finger he had placed in my core into his mouth.
Swiftly, his hand lifted me and shoved me back down, so my back was facing him.
He lifted my backside in the air, and before I could say a word, I felt his length inside of me.
“Shit!”
Sin and I shouted simultaneously.
I shut my eyes as pain flared into me at the sensation. I struggled and wriggled my backside to pull him out of me.
“Relax, sweetheart,” Sin groaned whilst shifting himself inside me. “You’ll be fine.”
My heart thumped wildly, but I listened to what he was saying instead of the fear that was gradually building in me.
So, I relaxed and didn’t fight with him.
Fortunately, the pain subsided as he had said, and he began to thrust again.
“Oh, God!” I moaned as wave upon wave of emotion drifted in and out of me.
Sin thrust became harder, and I felt my core tighten around his length.
“Sin!” I shrieked.
He thrust in once more. His body jerked, and he gripped my head.
I felt his hot breath beside my ear. “You are mine!”
His mouth landed on my neck and I winced as I felt a throb as his teeth grazed it.
The pain vanished as soon as it came and what I felt afterward, I couldn’t explain.
“Sin,” I moaned as he continued to suckle on my neck.
He didn’t seem like he heard me because I received no response from him, and he didn’t lift his head as well.
My head reeled, and my eyes grew dimmer.
I felt myself slipping, and I attempted to stay conscious as well.
“Sin…” I slurred and my head lolled.
The last word I heard him say was ‘shit’ before I became unconscious.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
