CHAPTER NINE
MALAKAI
*
*
I search for Pierce like a maniac the moment I enter school, I manage to locate him during football practice, he stands out easily from the rest of his popular friends.
Tate and Jeremiah are discussing with him. I'm not the only one watching him. How does he have the attention of almost all the girls without even doing anything?
My footsteps halt.
Everyone always wants to be around him. They want to listen to whatever he says, why do they all want his approval? Is it only because his family is rich? His personality is shitty but they're all admiring him like an angel who's fallen to earth.
Pierce has so many people around him, how did he even notice me?
I've always been unnoticeable; no one cares about what the pastor's kid has to say; why is Pierce so determined to drag my shadows into the light, exposing me for all to see?
It's better to meet him in this public place, at least, I know he won't do anything weird, but my body grows tense at the thought of approaching him in the presence of others.
I'm always awkward in front of others, what if I do something to embarrass myself?
Pierce looks up at that moment, and his eyes brighten.
He's this excited to see me?
"Kai, come here!"
My feet stiffen.
I grow uncomfortable under the stare of everyone.
I don't want to move but Pierce keeps waving in my direction, wearing that perfect smile that I've grown to find disgusting.
I walk towards him reluctantly. When I'm close enough, he throws his muscled arm around my shoulders.
"Sorry guys, Kai and I have some things to talk about, I can't make it to practice."
"What why? You're the captain doesn't mean you get to choose when or not to play; everyone has been waiting for you!" Jeremiah says, his displeasure is evident.
"Do you want to take my position, with your lousy skills?" Pierce retorts and Jeremiah flushes angrily.
Damn, he's even this harsh toward his friends?
I walk stiffly beside him, he leads us to an empty classroom.
He's staring hard at me without saying anything, I squirm inwardly.
Maybe I should speak first?
"I...um..."
"Did you consider what I told you that night?" Pierce suddenly says, and I instantly know what he means.
"Even if you're messing with me, don't joke around like this, hearing things like this makes me uncomfortable!"
Pierce suddenly leans closer and I recoil. Move away from me!
"You asked me what I want to delete the pictures... I've already thought about it, and I just want to fuck you, Kai"
My startled gaze locks with Pierce's intense ones, he doesn't look as though he's joking.
"Y...you're gay?" I'm still unable to comprehend how... Or why.
For a second, his eyes flicker with amusement.
"I just want to have sex with you, it's as simple as that." He shrugs.
There is nothing simple about that! How can he look as calm as though he's not just uttered the most absurd thing in the universe?
"That's impossible, I'm not even gay... How can I... We can't... What are you..." I ramble in panic.
I meet Pierce's dark stare and a cold shiver travels through my veins.
Shit!
I can't even imagine it
"I'll delete the pictures depending on how obedient you are, for each time we have sex, I'll delete some pictures depending on how well you satisfy me... How about that?"
Is he calling this a deal?
Each time I think I understand how crazy he is, he keeps shocking me.
"I can't have sex with you, We're both guys and... Anything else, I'll do it, just name it something else, I'm begging you!" The plea leaves my mouth, and Pierce's eyes darken further, he takes a step, closing the small distance between us.
"You have to do everything I say, you don't have a choice, if I want you to become my dog, you have to get on your knees and bark for me. I wonder what your parents and the whole school will think when they find out about the pastor's son's dirty secret." He spits out the last sentence.
My reputation will be ruined. Pierce can destroy me.
Even though I don't want to feel so weak and vulnerable in front of him, Pierce completely strips me of my will.
"Pierce please..." A last attempt from me, to claw out even the smallest bit of sympathy from his cruel heart.
His eyes gleam crazily; he's staring at my neck fascinatedly; I shudder when he presses closer and suddenly buries his face between my neck.
"A collar right here will suit you, I'm already considering it... I can't wait any longer" He moans against my throat.
I can feel his stiff erection and my entire body freezes.
Oh God...
This isn't a nightmare, it's my fucking reality.
"Pierce..."
"Kneel!" He stares coldly.
"W... what?"
"Aren't you a dog? So kneel!"
The last string of my dignity is gone. I drop to my knees in front of Pierce.
"Hands!"
I bite my lips against the hot tears burning in my eyes. It drips to my chin anyway as I extend my hands to him.
He smiles and pats my hair, his eyes glowing with satisfaction.
"You're so obedient, I'll also do something for you. For as long as you make yourself available to me, I'm going to stay away from your precious Lana, are you grateful to me? It's what you've always wanted"
I'm wallowed by the never-ending pit of despair.
And I keep sinking. There's no hope in sight
I know I said I wanted to keep him away from Lana, but not like this.
Certainly not like this!
"So, Kai, I need your answer now,I already waited for you for a whole week, So, tell me what it's going to be? Are we gonna fuck or not?"
