#Chapter5

Iris-

This room was immaculate, I hadn’t even saw such thing on TV, it was way too luxurious and had I known that at 18 I’d be getting sold off to a sickly rich weirdo but a handsome weirdo, I would’ve happily pushed my birthday forward if I could’ve. I mean, a part from being trapped inside a damn cage, what could be so wrong about all of this? I was bought for a billion! A BILLION. I didn’t even know I was worth that much myself but even still, I had no idea what my purpose was here, I had a bunch of rules to follow and apparently I was a blood slave whatever that was, the handsome creep had uttered something about eating me or something which quite frankly, didn’t make much sense but of course anyone who was that beautiful and that rich but searched for girls in an auction had to have something wrong with them, clearly this guy, he was a bit of a looney but whatever, as long as I wasn’t stuck in that orphanage or somewhere on the streets, I was fine here even if it meant I had to deal with a freak.

I eyed my beautiful freak from a distance as I silently ate my food in my given cage, it’s funny I spent most of my life being caged up in an orphanage only to be literally caged up right after but I’m sure this wasn’t going to last too long, he couldn’t keep me in here forever, I did wonder however, what was his deal? Why did he want me to stay in this cage? Did it turn him on? Was that his thing? Enjoying a little damsel in distress literally trapped? Hmm it made me think, he also wanted me to refer to him as my Master, he must’ve been one of those, the kind of men who fed on power trips, maybe that’s what he meant by feeding on me.

“Do you like what you see?”

His deep husky voice pulled me out of my thoughts and for a moment I was embarrassed to be caught staring but I quickly composed myself, shrugging my shoulders, I let out a deep sigh.

“It’s just, my legs are cramping up in this cage Master.”

Don’t forget the master. I had to be perfect, for him to keep me, I needed to be my 100%, I didn’t know where to go right now, once I was able to win his trust, I’d be able to steal enough amount of money from him to get the hell away from his crazy rules. I just needed a place to stay for now, food on my plate and later, I’d find a way to grab his money, I’m sure a few thousand wouldn’t make a difference to someone who spent a billion on a girl at an auction.

“Are you done eating?”

He asked as he stood up and strode over to me, looking down at my plate, I was finished eating whatever it was that he had just fed me, I hadn’t had much experience in fancy food in the orphanage but whatever he got for me was delicious.

“Yes master.”

I was practically batting my lashes for the freak as he crouched down before me, tilting his head to the side, he studied my face before he pulled out a key from his pocket and began to fiddle with the lock on the cage. Bullseye! I was getting out of this awfully tight and uncomfortable space.

“Don’t do that with your eyes ever again. It looks ridiculous.”

He said rudely, I guess he didn’t like me batting my lashes for him and it almost made me chuckle.

“Yes sir good sir!”

I brought my hand to my hand as if I was a soldier and I assumed he also didn’t like that, from the unimpressed look on his face, I would say that he was more disappointed than anything else.

“It’s ‘Master’, never call me anything else.”

Oops. Looks like I hit a nerve. Planting on my most fakest and widest smile, I nodded my head at him.

“Of course Master.”

He ignored that as he dropped the lock and opened the door of the cage, getting up and standing back, he gave me enough space to get up on my feet and man I was so short compared to his giant self, I wasn’t so clear of my height but I was like at his stomach, I could’ve been passed as his child, it was ridiculous but now that I was up close and personal, he was truly beautiful to look at, he looked like a painting, almost like god came down here and drew him, himself, he was far too handsome to be a creep.

“Go shower, I don’t want see you in that hideous dress. There’s clothing waiting for you in the bathroom.”

He ordered and I didn’t hesitate to take him up on that offer.

“Yes master.”

I whispered as I quickly rushed towards- uhhh where?

“Where’s the bathroom master?”

Without even looking at me, he strode towards me impatiently before grabbing my arm and yanking me with him, honestly, when you’d look at him, you wouldn’t think he was holding my arm so hard but his grip, it felt like he was about crush my bones within his hold and I was inches away from groaning out in pain.

“What is it?”

He muttered as his steps came to a halt.

“Your heartbeat is racing, what’s the problem?”

How- how would be even know that my heartbeat was racing? What the hell.

“Um- you’re hurting me master.”

I was practically whispering, not too sure why his death grip on my arm was making me feel so fragile against him.

“Oh. I forgot how weak humans are.”

Again, with the weird ways of choosing his words, humans? He spoke like he was an alien and now that I thought about it, I wouldn’t be surprised if he was but thankfully, his grip loosened on my wrist and he gently guided me towards a luxurious bathroom that had me in awe, I didn’t even want to get out of it while I let the water wash over my existence but I knew I couldn’t spend the entire night within the bathroom so I hurried out and as I eyed the ‘clothes’ he had set out for me, I wanted to laugh.

“So much for new clothes huh?”

I muttered to myself as I picked up the black lace lingerie, that came with a satin robe, I didn’t mind, I liked looking sexy. Even if I was a virgin, I had other ways of seducing men back when I was at the orphanage, I’d sneak out at nights, get paid for different things, never sex, but enough to make money to get a few tattoos and to be able to buy food that wasn’t disgusting like orphanage meals.

Slipping into my given lingerie, I studied my petite body in the mirror, if this was enough to satisfy the handsome freak then I was all for it. Putting the silk robe on, I ran my fingertips across its soft material, I hadn’t felt anything so pleasant in my entire life. He hadn’t gave me any shoes and I guess I liked that, I wasn’t used to wearing heels so bare feet would do.

“Master…”

I called out as I stepped out of the shower and headed towards the living room where I found my freak lounging on the sofa, he didn’t even bother to look at me, did he not care? Why would he give me such an outfit if he didn’t want to admire it?

“I’m done with the shower master.”

I said, trying to catch his attention, the more I pleased him with my looks, the longer he’d keep me but instead of looking at me, he sat up on the sofa, running a finger through the stubbles on his chiselled jaw, he side glanced me momentarily as he said;

“Shut up and come here, I’m hungry.”

What did that mean? He wanted to have…. Sex? As crazy as I was, I had never had sex and I was always afraid to, I surely didn’t want to lose my virginity like this. I wasn’t ready but I sucked it up, hopefully he wouldn’t go that far so, collecting myself, I slowly and carefully walked towards his large form displayed on the couch and as soon as I was an inch away from him, he grabbed my forearm and yanked me towards him, it all happened so fast, I wasn’t even sure how I ended up on the sofa, right beneath him, I could feel the heat of his body against mine, though he felt more cold than anything else, his chest heaved against my own, he held me down in a way that I couldn’t escape even if I gave it my all and quite frankly, for the first time, I was afraid of him.

“Your scent…. Its, intoxicating.”

He murmured against my throat, his mouth lingering just upon my skin, I could feel his teeth trailing a line down my neck and I couldn’t help but shiver beneath him.

“Master—“

He shut me up before I could ask him to get off me as he wrapped his hand around my mouth, silencing my words before they were even spoken.

And before I could even register what was happening, he panted out a ‘I’m so thirsty’ before a sharp pain indulged my senses, sending my mind into a frenzy, I could barely hold myself together as I realised that…. He had just…. Bit me.
