Er schnauzte sie an; seine raue Stimme brachte sie dazu, ihm in die Augen zu sehen, und sie war sofort unter seinem eiskalten Blick gefangen. Sie konnte ihre Augen nicht von ihm abwenden, als er näher an sie herantrat, seine Bewegungen langsam, als ob er sich auf sie, seine Beute, stürzen wollte. Ohne nachzudenken, stand sie auf, bereit zu fliehen, aber er packte sie und drückte ihre Hände gegen das Bett. Er bewegte sein Knie nach vorne und spreizte ihre Beine, die sich nur eine Sekunde lang wehrten, bevor er sein Knie eindringen ließ. Er drückte es langsam in die Stelle zwischen ihren Schenkeln, so dass sie bei der plötzlichen Berührung keuchte. "Gefällt es dir, mir nicht zu gehorchen, Aila?" Er knurrte; Aila war einen Moment lang verwirrt, bis sie sich daran erinnerte, wie leicht sie sich seinen Befehlen widersetzte. War er wirklich noch wütend von vorhin? Aber als sie in seinem Gesicht nach einer Antwort suchte, fand sie sie bald. Er war definitiv wütend von vorhin. "Um ganz ehrlich zu sein, das tue ich. Das weist dich in deine Schranken", schmunzelte Aila, als sie seinen glühenden Augen begegnete. Er brachte sein Gesicht näher an ihres heran, der Druck seines Knies zwischen ihren Beinen verstärkte sich und sie biss sich auf die Unterlippe. "Falsche Antwort", knurrte er, bevor er ihr die Lippe zwischen die Zähne biss. ----- *DISCLAIMER* REIFER INHALT: Grafische Gewalt Starke Sprache Sexueller Inhalt Missbrauch -- 【 Band 1: Vollständig】 【 Band 2: Vollständig】 【 Band 3: COMING SOON- May-June of 2024 】 -- Wenn euch die Geschichte gefällt, dann stimmt bitte mit einem Powerstein ab, hinterlasst Kommentare und eine Bewertung! -- Coverbild: Commissioned by @if._art Mein Instagram: @kelly_starrz Mein neuer Discord-Server: https://discord.gg/MHMdRRqUYa
