LOVING MY BEAST

Chapter 2 A DREADFUL ENCOUNTER

CLAIRE POV

 I walked closer with a bright smile plastered to my face he noticed my presence and turn around, my smile fell the moment I met those blue orbs.

A smirk formed on his thin lips and he walked towards me with his eyes on me. My heart beat faster, my lips quivered and I had an unshakable urge to run. He continued getting dangerously close, I inhaled a sharply when we were less than six inches apart.

I looked down to avoid his gaze and try to stop panicking. He used his index finger to tilt my chin up so that I look directly at him, his intimidating aura never leaving him. I tried letting my eyes wonder to avoid looking directly into his eyes. “Look at me.” He instructed in a powerful tone. My eyes snapped to him instantly obeying him out of…fear.

“Long time no see my little barbarian.” I was shaking in fear, that name triggered a lot of memories, unwanted memories, memories that made me wish I was a computer so I could permanently delete them and never retrieve them.

 Like a song that you have sang so many time you start to say the lyrics subconsciously I muttered the words “Please don’t hurt me.” In fearful and sorrowful voice. I was still shaking in fear, his removed his index finger from under my chin and pocketed his hands.

 He chuckled “I won’t do anything to you if you don’t deserve it. Let’s eat.” He says in a cold detached voice. I obediently sat opposite him on the round dinner table. After a while I was done eating I could barely taste the food with the amount of fear in me. I fidgeted with my hands, I don’t know why but I dared to asked “Can I go home.” My voice was low, almost a whisper but he heard me.

 When my words reached him a dangerous smile formed on his lips while his eyes hooded and his dangerous aura grew. “He placed his cutlery on his plate, wiped the corners of his lips like a true gentle man and got up. I sat there frozen to one position, he walked behind me and bent down bringing his lips to my eyes “This IS your home. Get used to it.”

 He then stood straight and straightened his coat and walking off with his cold aura following him. As soon as I could no longer feel his presence my heart fell and I had a strong urge to cry but I held it in, …like I always do.  I got up and headed for my room, practically fleeing to safety. I locked my door and took a shower I wore pajama pants and a baggy t-shirt, childish I know but I wasn’t going to take that risk with him around. These thoughts once again triggered terrible memories.

 I buried myself in my blanket and went into deep sleep. I woke up in the middle of the night only to hear the loud moans of a woman. I go to investigate fearing the worst, as I go on I realize its coming from the guest room on the first floor. The door was half opened I covered my mouth with my hand to prevent myself from shrieking at the scene before my eyes. A brunette lay down with her ass up while Alexander diligently drilled the daylights out of her.

 Suddenly he turned to me but didn’t stop actually he double his efforts and gave me smirk as if I was the one being drilled. I managed to look away and run to the living room. I started pacing up and down what was the meaning of that what did that smirk mean; I’m next?

 No I will not allow that no. Impossible! I can’t relive those moments. I can’t. I am on the verge of breaking down when I spot the mini bar I walk over and poor myself a glass of wine gulping it down and pouring another, then another before I knew I heard a loud crash from a broken glass. At this point my mind is too hazy to comprehend what is going on around me then, everything goes dark.

 The bright rays rudely wake me up giving me a splitting headache. I lazily sit up and run my hand through my hair, I get up and drag myself to the bathroom, damn this hangover. I wind up puking everything from yesterday, I took a bath to wash away the drowsy feeling. I slip into a pair of skinny tattered jeans and a short sleeve shirt, three times my size which I partially tuck in.  I comb by hair and head down stairs for breakfast. My heart leaps out of my chest when I find HIM, engrossed in a newspaper. He placed it down only when he noticed my presence. I take my seat and start digging in while avoiding however his silent gaze that sought to bare a hole into me.

 After a sometime he broke the silence “Who gave you permission to drink.” A menacing aura surrounded him I look down “I – I….” “From now onward you are not to take even a drop of wine without my permission. Have I made myself clear?” He spoke in a cold authoritative tone and I immediately complied.

 He finished his food and got up and left while straightening his suit. He looked noble and attractive with his jelled hair style and clean shave while his million-dollar three-piece suit did not look out of place on him. He briskly walked out with his assistant closely tagging behind him, I finished my food and went upstairs to finish my work.

 After I’m done with all my work I send it over to my department’s head and pick up a romance novel. I go to the garden and sit under the gazebo and sat in the hanging pad chair, before long I find myself totally engrossed in the world of fiction.

I check my tie 4:00pm lunch was brought to me in the gazebo.  I had only gone in to take another bath after spilling hot chocolate on myself luckily I didn’t get burnt. I finally decided to turn in after twenty minutes, as soon I entered the house I was greeted by a surprise. Alexander came home early and he brought company Alexander sat on the single arm chair with crossing his long legs and looking like a boss while thee men sat on his left, two on the couch and one on a wheel chair.

 Immediately I entered my presence was noticed and that’s how I ended down in a stare down with four breathtakingly handsome men. I hugged the book standing there in awkward silence as I stood there being eyed down from head to toe and it didn’t help the fact that I was in pajama shorts and a tight thin sleeved top did not help my situation.

 One of the stranger in particular caught my attention he had brown hair and bright green eyes, he looked very familiar but my annoying memory just decides to start forgetting now. Heaven so help me this memory off mine better thank its lucky stars it’s not human or else I would have personally strangled it to death.

 Then I notice an intense glare from Alexander he rested his elbow on arm of the chair and placed his jaw in his palm while looking at me with and unreadable intense gaze. Anger, passion, joy, sadness? I could not tell. Then look down feeling very uncomfortable. I took a deep breath and smiled at them “Good evening.” I finally found my voice and was about to leave when the guy in the wheel chair caught hold of my wrist.

 I turned to him and was captured by his familiar green eyes his expression was unreadable. We stare at each other for what seemed to be eternity when suddenly someone gets hold off my other wrist and rip away the green eyed stranger’s hand away. I turn to an angry looking Alexander whose eyes turned completely dark with a possessive look.  Feel shaken by the familiar look which only brought me pain through my teenage years.

Before I could object he dragged me along, he stopped right in front of the stair case and turned to the three men. “The exit’s that way.” He coldly stated and continued to drag me up stair. I didn’t stop until we reached his room and he sandwiched me between the wall and whispered to me in a low husky voice. “I see I’ve been too lenient on you.”

 “No I-.”  I tried to defend but was cut off. “Are you talking back?” “No!” I whimpered. “You are MINE Claire Rivers and I will remind you every day if that’s what it takes for you to stay clear of all men. Got that!” Before I could answer my top was ripped open exposing my bra. I tried to cover myself up with my arms but he held both and dropped me onto the mattress.

 I felt scared, scared of reliving those terrible memories “Please, please don’t do this.” I begged with teary eyes. “Too late.” He stated in a low husky voice and continued discarding my clothes as he seized my lips. I tried resisting only to be giving THAT glare immediately making me give in.

NARRATOR’S POV

 He continued exploring her mouth while his hands roamed her body making her shudder with fear. She soon responded to his kiss and encircled her hands around his neck trapping him a small smirk appeared on Alexander’s lips, he admired this daring move. The passionate exchanges continued and soon he was in her. The bodies were on fire as Alexander's skillful hand roamed her body making her moan out of control. He seemed to know her body well as she gave him complete access to her body.

CLAIR’S POV

I woke but the sun hadn’t risen I could hear the faint sound of the shower in use. I stay in position too afraid when I hear him enter the room. After he is done dressing I hear his footsteps drawing closer, he leans tom my ears and whispers in a barely audible voice. “Why? Why do you always find new ways to make me lose control. Why do you always make me lose my well maintained self-control. Why do you have so much control over me little barbarian. Nevertheless, I will take my time to find those answers from you because you mine. MY feisty kitten.” I’m left in a fix by his words. What is that supposed to mean? He then drops a loving kiss on my forehead before leaving.

 Call me crazy but after all he has done, that kiss made me feel all warm and bubbly inside. This familiar feeling made me smile ever so slightly. I chuckle at my out of earth behaviors when it comes to him. I get up and wrap the blanket around my body and slowly made my way to the window. I gazed absentmindedly at him while the driver respectfully opened the back of his Rolls Royce for him and he got in when his eyes took a sweeping glance at me. I continued to observe the car as it left the house at the break of dawn.

 That man is dangerous, he’s like a beacon to me. That man can burn me, however I’m still a moth. That man who can control me with just his words my body obeys, he is my programmer and I his robot. That man… is a beast he is my beast and I love him. Bruises and wounds will heal but my love for him is eminent I know the will definitely be an ending where he ruins me but there is also and ending filled with smiles. In the end it all comes down to our fate. So what will you do Alexander White, will you make me or unmake me?
