Devil's Prison

Chapter # 24

Things went by in nonchalance in between, passing time eating Aurelia’s mind, leaving a negative impact on her mind. His presence was ruining her ability to think.

She cannot bear these cold walls surrounding her anymore, her cage after sealing her mental stability and she had to do something about it.

No matter what it takes, she has to grasp her interlude.

“Alphonse.” She called him, walking to bed after her night routine.

He was lying with his face covered with his hands, trying to get some sleep when she sat on the bed beside him.

They were sharing the bed, not cuddling once, only maintaining their distance.

“Hmm?” He hummed, not moving an inch.

She bit her bottom lips in nervousness, gathering her words.

“Can’t I have my job back? Please. I do everything you say, don't argue, don’t fight, don't resist still…”

Her voice went gentlest it could go, trying to wrap him in her charm and comply with her words, trying to convince him.

“I am staying home all day, I don’t have anything to do.” She said desperately, scooting closer.

“I will lose my mind if I stay longer,” She continued.

Trying to convince him to let her do what she loves and free her from these eternal restrictions.

“Find a hobby then, gardening, cooking, painting.” He scoffed rudely, not placing faith in her words at all.

“Please, Alphonse.” She whispered, shifting her body to his side.

“Where do you think I will go now?” She asked tenderly.

Putting her hand over his, gaining a suspicious gaze from him but she needed this reprieve, he was taken aback at her action but she maintained her posture.

“Do you honestly think I would attempt anything at this point?” Her voice broke, he removed his hand, glancing at her with tired eyes.

“When you have all my vulnerabilities in your grasp?” She whispered, giving his hand a soft squeeze, but he yanked his hand back.

“Then prove it. How do you expect me to trust you when you have betrayed me once?” He growled, grabbing her wrist, pulling her face enough to tangle their breaths.

“I had a reason back then, I had a mission but what will I do now?” She asked, swallowing the lump in her throat.

“I am dealing with the consequences of my actions already. I don’t want further remorse.” She pleaded, taking support from her one hand to not fall on his chest.

“But how can I place faith in your words?” He hissed.

In a swift movement, he pushed her down, on fours over hers, halting her breath and mind by his ferocity..

“Why would I do this?” He asked, scrutinizing her body, looking exquisite under him and he loved it.

Her breaths stopped at his action, her chest heaving long and hurried sighs.

“Huh!?” He growled and hitched her breath, startling her.

One hand in his grasp while the other holding the pillow under her tightly, blushing furiously.

“I don’t trust you one bit.” He whispered, ensnaring his eyes with hers to feel the heat striking in the distance from his to hers.

“Then why did you marry me?” She asked in a barely audible voice, body stiffening to have him dominating her.

“To make this ruse my life, to teach you a lesson.” He responded huskily, voice growing raspy.

“And I have learned my lesson so please, at least return me to my life, Alphonse.” She pleaded, turning her grip on their entwined hand rigid.

“I will only when I consider it to be the right choice.” He scoffed, resisting the temptation of her touch, driving him insane.

“When I know that you won’t run to your lover again.” He growled, losing his mind by these very thoughts.

“Why would I? You have my parents and who knows you might even kill Elliot?” She reasoned, eyes widened in appall, mouth gaped.

“And besides, after what you made me do, I barely doubt he will listen to me.” She argued, making a valid point but it brought a sinful smirk on his lips.

“I have nowhere to go anymore, even my parents are with you…” She whispered sorrowfully, knowing she was trapped.

“Good.” He hummed, leading down to her neck.

“Very good.” He cooed, biting her skin slightly, indulging in the hum she produced unwillingly by his proximity and enticing action.

“Do you want your job back?” He asked, the temptation in his voice was alarming but she was desperate for her escape.

“Yes.” She nodded quickly, willing to do whatever it takes.

The intensity of his wild gaze amplified immensely when he moved his knee between her legs.

“Perfect.” He smirked, sending a hunting yet hungry look in her direction.

She tried to close her legs by the heat traveling in her body but failed miserably.

“A-Alphonse?” She stuttered, tensed of his haunting intention that could engrave an unforgettably scary memory in her mind.

“What do you think I want you to do to earn my faith?”

Taking seduction of its peak, he asks while caressing the side of her face.

Leaning it downward, from her neck, to her shoulder, her waist… going down, down.

“To allow you…” He whispered, wallowing in her state of defeat before his enthrall.

Her body trembled when his burning skin made contact with hers.

“Hmm?” He hummed, sucking on her collarbone, his muscular body hovering over hers to blind her in his spell, igniting a fire in the air.

“Please…” She begged, closing her eyes to sink into the gratification she didn’t favor but gained.

He let out a suppressed, menacing laugh when his hand moved to her thigh, his magical fingers gripping to ensure she wouldn't close her legs.

“Alphonse..” She moaned, arching her back, the thick tension driving her insane, intoxicating their mind in the seduction.

“Why are you desperate?” He asked breathlessly, hoarsely, kissing the mark he formed on her beautiful skin.

“Because I can’t stay here alone anymore.” She managed to reply from her booming breaths, chest blooming, turning her head to the after his teasing.

“How do you intend to convince me?” He asked teasingly, pulling away to incline their heads.

She opened her eyes slowly, innocently with scarlet shade adorning her cheeks.

“Alphonse..” She called him, her voice suffocated before his concentrated eyes upon hers. She knew she had to do this to earn his cognition.

Moving her hand she opened a few buttons of her shirt when he slowly traveled to her chest, smirk growing wider in pleasure at her action.

“Please.” She pleaded with a red face, disgusted at her own self but convinced herself at all cost.

She opened the buttons of her shirt, ashamed gathering in her mind and body, curling her toes to contain the sensation, the coldness forming goosebumps.

“Thanks for the wonderful display, Love but.” He licked his lips evilly, placing his finger on her midsection, loving her convulsion by his undeniably enticing touch.

“That is not what I want…” He snickered in her ears, moving his finger on her cold body upward slowly, staggering her.

“Not yet.” He whispered before sitting back up and closing her buttons.

An unbelievable endearment glistening in his eyes, an extremity of passion burned, but he contained it-

Even if it was unfavorable on his side. He wanted to touch her, to leave his mark on her flawless body but he stopped himself.

“Then?” She asked, taken aback at his unforeseen resistance to not take her willing offer.

“What do you want then?” She asked.

Sitting up as well when he closed her buttons slowly before locking his eyes with hers intensely.

His hand locked around her neck, hissing his desire, “I want you to f*****g kiss me passionately before your lover.”

Her eyes widened in disbelief, heartbeats augmenting by his hankering.

“Show how crazy you are for me in his presence.”

“Burn him in envy.” He whispered, losing his breath, eradicating their distance creating a profound link.

“If you do that, I will allow you to not only continue your job but go anywhere with my permission.” He said, appealing her to do what he demands for her liberation.

“Do I have to?” She asked in a shaky voice, clutching the sheets with a tensed face, resenting the idea.

“Was it hesitation?” He asked with a sinful smirk, lifting her chin.

“No.” She gasped, shaking her head immediately.

“That’s what I thought. It shouldn’t be either.” He whispered seriously, pulling away, observing her body.

“Because you are mine and you will remain as such.” He enunciated, brushing his thumb over her lips before laying before to his side, swallowing his yearning and closing his eyes to sleep.

“Nothing in this world could take you away from me anymore.”

Shutting her eyes, she looked down, persisting the ache traveling in her body as he shifted his head away with a heartbreaking response.

“I know…”
