I didn't venture back into the unknown and I didn't care to mention what happened to Catherine. She told me her story though, crazy, she had to choose between two men. I told her that it was probably in her best interest to stay away for a while, especially for my own peace of mind.
Now, we see the men more frequently but they don't stay very long. They flirt with the girls and talk with them while I just take orders and go through my day the same as usual. I was fine with that though, no complications, no problem.
I hurried back to campus to complete my registration, it was almost closing time and luckily Luna, my other bestfriend had thought of sending me directions to the registry office. By the time I got in, the woman was just about to close the door.
"Please" I begged. "I couldn't have gotten here any sooner, I didn't even know there were issues with registrations"
"We sent an email to every student young lady" She dead panned.
"Yeah, but I haven't gotten the time to go through emails yet"
She raised a brow at me. Yeah I needed to get my life together.
"Please, if I have to come back I don't know when I'd have the time again. I haven't even moved yet"
She groaned swinging the door open and I smiled rushing in. "Ensure you have all your documents ready!" she called after me.
It was a little after five when I finally left the registry and she made me swear never to see her again, after keeping her an entire hour over her normal working schedule. I had my accommodation left to finalize and that would be the end of it until time for school. I paid my deposit and grabbed the keys heading to my room. It was a large apartment block, most of the tenants were students which was great but with one or two were older folks. I was fine with that. I'd finally be on my own away from my grandparents and uncle. A joy to be had.
I cleaned my small apartment and stood looking through the window then screamed dancing in the night. I was really doing this! That meant no more irrational behaviour, no more going to strange places or out in the night. I had to prepare myself for the rigorous work that I had ahead of me and all the sleepless nights as well. And sleep was one thing I definitely did best.
****
"Hey!" Called Catherine as I swiped my card logging out.
I looked over at her packing my bag to leave.
"You wanna come with me tonight?" Her eyes twinkled with mischief.
"Where to?" I asked as we skipped through the door.
"Dark Alphas Khristen, really?" Catherine said rolling her eyes at me.
The moment she said the words my body reacted thinking of Bastian, my n*****s becoming tender and my face heated up.
"You okay?" Asked Catherine looking worried.
"Yeah am fine" I replied pinching my cheeks so she wouldn't see me blushing. "I thought we were gonna stay away from that place moving forward"
We walked on together huddling closely so no one else could hear our conversation. "Yes but, they told me there was something special tonight and I wanna see what's it all about"
"Curiosity kills the cat catherine. Meow" I said taking a clawing at her face.
She laughing knowing I was playing at the start of her name. But it bothered me going back there. I wasn't really a club person and Dark Alpha wasn't a normal club either. A few hours with Bastian proved how naive to the world I was and in some ways I wished I honestly didn't know.
"But seriously khrissy you'll be off to university in a few days or weeks and you won't have the opportunity to have fun anymore why waste it now?"
Point taken.
But that was dirty fun. Not the type I indulged in willingly and somehow not the type I wanted to indulge in with someone I didn't know if trust.
We stood at the end of the line waiting to enter the bus and I thought about it. Sure it'd be fun to see him again, maybe we could talk and get to know each other, then again maybe he was there just like the others for our bodies. In a screwed up way I wanted to feel his touch again, hear him command me, to tell me the rules. I'd break them just for him.
Okay I'm officially crazy.
"I don't have anymore black dresses" I said as we sat into our seats.
Catherine smiled from ear to ear. "Leave that to me".
The moment we got inside my eyes adjusted to the darkness. Oh I definitely figured out what the surprise was. They were all masked. Great. No way to find Bastian now. I walked back to the bar and looked for him the place I saw him first. Sure there was a man and woman there but I could tell by his hair and beard that it wasn't him. Maybe that was an inaccurate sign to use, more than likely he would have grown some stubble by now, it's been four days since I last saw him.
I ordered a moet and sat sipping scanning the area. I was expecting him to be alone, prayed he was alone. That he hadn't found a mate to play with. I also watched the door for his messy hair figure but came up blank. The only possibility that was left was Hell. I figured out the name from Catherine, duely called because their was no light down that passage because and the erotic pleasures that hid behind the door. Only those who wanted to use the rooms ever entered down that path. More precisely, only members were allowed in. I swallowed, knowing I was definitely going to knock on a lot of doors tonight.
Going through the door, I took out my phone and discreetly shone it down the path, it was never ending, only tonight the walls sparkled with neon painted fireworks. Sighing I closed my eyes trying to remember how many steps I took before being pulled into the room.
"Nine steps" I narrated as I walked. "Then pull to the right" sure enough I stopped at a door.
I knocked and waited and waited. No answer. I knocked again. Same result. When I tried to turn the knob it was fastened. Locked. Great. Guess he already found someone. I walked on shining the light at every door, knocking, willing to disturb everyone until I found him. There was talking behind me and I quickly switched off my light as they headed in my direction, the woman giggling lightly as she passed, I watched them for a while before walking off again.
A cloth wrapped around my mouth seconds later and strong hands bound mine dropping my cell into the ground. I twisted trying to break free and fell with them to the floor. I scampered for my phone trying to get the light on, mumbling, cursing to myself. When it finally flickered on, they pushed it from my hand dragging me down the hall.
I screamed as loud as I could but none of the doors opened, my heart was ready to burst and finally I fell to the door as they pulled it shut.
I heard it open again and my cell fell to my feet, a black silhouette walked in. My heart was already at my mouth and my limbs were too weak for me to move.
"Please don't hurt me, I was just trying to find someone"
He moved away from me and I heard a glass clink, I was surprised they could make out anything from the thick darkness that eveloped the room. If my phone wasn't tossed in with the faint light I wouldn't be able to tell my head from my toes.
"Can I go please?" My pulse drummed heavily in my ears while I desperately attempted to keep my erratic breathing under wraps.
Silence.
I didn't care to move not knowing where to turn and maybe there were others waiting outside too. I remained on the carpet pulling my feet towards me for some sort of protection. I couldn't count on anyone at this point I realised. I was really in hell and I was faced with the devil himself.
My head lifted as his hands guided my face to what I supposed was his. I swallowed. Now wasn't the time to be nervous.
Calm down. Deep breaths, one, two.
"What are you doing here? "
Bastian? No wait I couldn't be sure. He'd call me cub. Yes, he'd do that.
"I'm looking for someone" I repeated, my hands trembled at my side. I shouldn't have followed Catherine here to soothe her guilty pleasures. Shouldn't, so much for emotional support!
"In hell?" He asked his voice disbelieving my statement.
" Yes, he'd supposed to be here"
"Who is he?"
" I don't know his name" at least not his real name. Probably won't ever either if I never escape.I
"So how'd you plan to find him then, if you don't even know his name?" He asked again, his voice now filled with amusement as if I was his little entertainment.
"Knock on every door, simple really" I say hoping to sound more confident than I felt.
He let out a low rumble of laughter. Then pulled me to my feet confiscating my phone.
"You shouldn't be here. Leave"
"No" I replied and he stopped walking. I walked off trying to figure out where the exit was. "I can't tell where anything is..." I stopped hitting into something hard. I used my hand to touch what was blocking my path. "What's this?"
"That would be my pelvic" he said
I pulled my hand away only to feel something rather harder and I felt my body stiffen
"And that would be my-"
Dammit!
I pulled my hand away from him before he could finish.
"Like I said. May I have my phone back?"
" No"
I got frustrated and reached out to slap him, hoping my palm would end up where it'd hurt the most. I reached out but the only thing I felt was the feeling of being wrapped in his arms and falling into something soft. I tried to push him away but his feet was wrapped around mine, his hands in my hair and crawling up my dress.
My breathing increased and I wished I didn't drink. Wait, what if they drugged me?
No, no......worse case, he'd r**e me. He'll literally r**e me here!
Panicking, I kicked, puched, scraped at him, just anything my firing mind would allow me to do, none in any particular order. He barely grunted when my first landed against his shoulder, before I felt my hands pinned to the side of me and his lead weighted body fully atop mine.
"Get off, stop!" I screamed panic making its way into my voice
No movement, his grip only intensified.
"You're hurting me, stop!" I yelled again.
His tongue grazed my cheek and I felt my body shudder.
Was this need or was I grossed out?
Wait no, this isn't the time to be turned on!
"It isn't worth the trouble is it khristen?"
"Bastian? " I whispered. I blinked in the darkness willing my body to stop squirming and just to listen, was it him?
"Hello Cub"
I almost sobbed in his arms but his kiss prevented me from crying. His hands pushed away from dress and continued his exploration while he attempted to calm me down.
When I could finally breathe regularly, he switched on my phone light staring down at me. Sure enough there was his five oclock stubble. He raised a brow at me while his thumb caressed my cheek and then he kissed me again. Hard and ravenous, his hand griping my ass roughly squeezing me as his tongue swirled around mine. I pulled him closer out of relief and want. I was scared that it might have been someone else and yet upset that he would have the gall to treat a woman like the way he did. Alpha or not, the almost happened scenario terrified me. When I stopped our kiss, he pulled away.
"I can't believe you'd treat me like that? " I say between heavy pants.
"Ask you to leave?"
" No, try to suffocate me and drop me unto the floor. There are other ways to say "hi I missed you too"
He laughed, a deep throaty laugh, before handing over my phone. The type that stirred a smile even though I felt like getting up and running away.
"I didn't do that to you khristen, the club did. But I was following you" he explained. "I get the feeling you don't belong here"
"You can only get in with an invitation otherwise you're screwed so you decide" I say not willing to give myself away. It's not like he could ever know right?
"No Cub, the invitation says who you belong to. So where's yours?"
I blinked. What? Oh no. That meant I got in because both men asked Catherine? So I belong to one of them likewise?
"Rule number three" said Bastian as he removed the strap of my bra kissing my body pulling my clothing further exposing me to his view. "No" he met my eyes. "Lights" his hands skimmed my breasts. "In " I couldn't breathe feeling him at my core. "Hell"
"Okay" I rasped, pulling him down to me needing him more than he could know.
My body didn't react with Bastian the way I was use to. When he looked at me I was both intimidated and aroused and the more he spoke to me, explaining each rule, the more my body ached for him. I couldn't restrict myself to not have him. He was more mature than I was, his cravings were different, his rules were different. I was attracted to a man I didn't know beyond this room. But I'd never forget the way he touched me or made his feel and somehow, I think he felt the same way.
Bastian made me discover things about myself that, previously I hadn't even known. Like the fact that there were sensitive places along my neck, near my or my mouth, that completely turned my body to ash whenever he touched or went anywhere near. Leo had missed my needs maybe a million times, foreplay, s*x, he'd never gotten the results Bastian did. Maybe because the i***t wasn't patient either.
Bastian was.
He savored every part of me, a second, a limb at time, forcing me to submit, forcing me to admit and acknowledge the man who he was. The one person that could ever stir my body to life with just a look, touch or just being present. And if I thought that was enough to turn me on, hell no. Every feral groan he makes; sends my body into overdrive, and that feeds his brutal nature to devour me further, harder and it ultimately made me wetter every time. Like my body was made for his possession only.
I got a text two hours later from Catherine asking for me. I crawled over him trying to grab my clothes to leave when he held me, pulling my other feet across his thigh as he entered me again. I couldn't help but groan and that made him smile. It was sexy the way he controlled me without much effort and before I knew it I was climaxing all over him again. Catherine had to wait until my Alpha was satisfied this time before he'd let me go.
I ran my hand through my dirt coloured hair trying not to look disheveled heading back. He watched me dress, slowly as he ordered me to, his brown eyes still ravaging my body from where he sat on the edge of the bed.. I wanted to ask of a better way to find him if I ever did return but was scared. Maybe he did find a mate all that time.
I pushed the thought from my head and grabbed my phone. We're just sleeping together, that's what they do here. Rule number one, no one should know who you are, rule number two, don't forget rule number one. Bastian caught me by the hand as I went through the door. Glancing down I realized it was a key and my own invitation.
