Chapter 124

124 iv. Auction

“Remind me again, why I agreed to this,” she whispered.

Dominus chuckled at her answer, “Because my love, you are my sweet baby bunny, are you not?”

She kept silent and just gripped his arm tightly. He was leading her to the grand ballroom of the castle.

The ceiling was high and was adorned by numerous chandeliers, the floor was thickly carpeted, and glasses were used for walls overlooking a luscious garden that reminds her of a safari.

“What are you worried about?” his sweet voice made butterflies flutter in her stomach.

“I don’t belong to parties like this Dom. I don’t even know the proper etiquette. The shoes and gown no matter how expensive will never make up for that truth,” she whispered back.

“You should have seen yourself back then, so regal and beautiful that the image etched and burnt into my heart. Seeing you in that red evening gown, I feel like I have been transported to our time as knight and queen,” his voice was serious, his words scaring her.

She kept silent. She really hated when he referenced to their past lives she knew never existed. It terrifies her that he believes it so.

He took it as a good sign that she didn’t answer. He lead her to their seat and sat on the chair parallel to hers.

.....

His hand clasped her fingers tightly, bringing them up to his lips as he kissed her hand. “You are the most elegant, most beautiful woman here tonight, my queen.”

She forced herself to smile. It is the nickname she really was not comfortable with, and his words made her feel even more unworthy.

Regal does not define her nor did she embody elegance as he claims. She was just an introvert whose only source of living is writing novels online.

The bidding started, and gems and precious stones were being offered. Dominus was silent, not raising his hand to bid for any of the items.

Desserts and dinner have been served and hours have passed but not once has Dominus raised his hand to bid. She was starting to wonder why they came over to Ireland just for this auction if it seems like Dominus didn’t intend to bid on any of the items.

When the final item for auction was announced, her whole world stopped. Selene. It was up for auction.

Ridiculous amounts were being said, still Dominus kept silent. When the last bidder seemed to have cast his offer, Dominus raised his hand and announced.

“A hundred million dollars,” everyone kept silent as it was more than half than the last offer.

No one dared to raise their hand again to bid. The auction was concluded and they have been congratulated over and over by royalties, leaders, and dignitaries from all over the world, as well as the board of directors from world-known companies.

She was introduced to everyone who came to greet them as the true owner of the castle, his fiance. She was too shocked to even say a word of protest.

She kept silent and tried to return their smiles. When too many men have introduced themselves to her, Dominus asked her for a dance.

The music played and he led her to the dance floor, placing her hands on his shoulders as they danced to a slow love song. “This is too much,” she finally said.

“What do you mean too much? I am just returning what was yours in the first place,” he said as his golden eyes hypnotize her to stare.

“You know I don’t believe in past lives and reincarnation. You know very well that it is not something I can trust,” she pouted and tried to avoid his gaze.

He lifted her chin, forcing her to look into his eyes, “Then if you can’t trust that, at least believe that I want you to have this castle. Everything I own and have is yours, there is nothing I will withhold or deny you,” the words made her want to tear up.

Why is this perfect man saying all these things to her? She did not deserve this from him. She was basically just a stranger.

“You are insane,” she said the words before she realized what she said.

He smiled at her words, “You realize that just now?”

Before she can protest further, he claimed her lips and kissed her in front of all the other guests for the auction. She blushed as she pushed him away.

“What? You don’t want to be kissed in public?” he teased her.

“It’s meant for private moments,” she insisted, pouting at the shameless man.

“Why should I not kiss my woman in public? It makes people know I own you, and you are off-limits to them,” he kissed her neck and bit tenderly her earlobe.

If it was not for the public setting, she would have moaned. It felt good to be bitten by him. Her whole body is crying for his touch.

“Please let’s get out of here, at least away from the public eye,” she pleaded.

“Why? Are you ashamed of your body’s reaction to my kiss? Afraid your body will betray you in front of this audience?” he teased her, a low growl in his voice indicating even he has been quite turned on.

“I want to have a private moment with you,” she bravely said the words, aware it is the only way he will listen to her.

She has been kidnapped by him for months, and what she found out during those times is that he never can resist her when she decides to use her charms.

Call her crazy for expecting this, even she finds it weird and insane. But she knew when it comes to their ‘relationship’, though that, of course, was one-sided in terms of consent, he may be the head but she remains the neck that can make the head turn to whatever direction she chooses.

“Tell me again, what you just said,” his hoarse voice made her knees tremble so badly, she now had to admit he himself is not without his charms.

“Let’s get out of here, Dominus. I want a private moment with you,” she whispered, her eyelashes fluttering as she said the words.

He claimed her lips again, hungrier this time. Letting her go, he held her by her wrist and walked- dragged her out of the ballroom.

When even that is not enough, he carried her in his arms and walked as if they were running away for an emergency.

She giggled and pressed a kiss on his cheek, “So the owner of the castle decided to leave the party early.”

He frowned, “You very well know why I was in such a hurry.”

“I seem not to have noticed, my knight. After all, a queen has to be innocent,” she fluttered her eyelashes at him.

It was his turn to laugh, “Innocent queen? You were far from innocent in our previous lives, my love.”

She pouted, “Blaming me for something I don’t know anything about.”

He continued to walk until they reached their chambers, he opened the door and with much haste dropped her on the middle of the bed.

She giggled and hid herself inside the blankets, “A queen ought to be innocent.”

“If that is a requirement you never would have become one. Let’s say I have caught you reading a very lascivious book which was very much taboo during that age,” he unbuckled his pants, freeing his erection.

She blushed both from his words and his exposed nakedness, “At least warn me before you strip yourself off like that.”

“What’s the matter, my innocent queen? It seems like your body likes what it sees,” he discarded his shirt and started to unbutton hers.

“No, it does not,” she lied of course. Her nipples were already perked up much to his pleasure. He licked them and flicked them with his tongue.

“Lie for the good of the kingdom, your majesty,” he whispered in her ear, sending shivers down her spine.

“Don’t tease me further my lowly knight. I only date princes and dukes,” she giggled and covered herself in blankets.

To her dismay, his strong arms easily kept her arms above her head, using the blanket to tie her wrists, “Dominus! What do you think you are doing?”

“Disciplining the queen of the realm, of course,” he smiled cruelly at her. “For the good of the citizens and all that she reigns upon.”

“How can a lowly knight discipline a queen? I do not allow this. There must be some protocols,” she started to struggle, panic starting to seep into her.

“Shhhh... between a queen and her personal knight, there is hardly anything that can’t be shared? Perhaps you recall, my queen. You requested for our private moments,” her eyes widened in shock as he opened the drawer and brought out the smooth long plastic they brought with them.

“What is that?” she asked, her eyes widened as it started to make a whirring sound, like there was a buzz of electricity or something.

“Shhhh... my beautiful queen. This thing right here is the instrument of your choosing,” he chuckled, seeing her reaction.

“No, daddy! Please! I don’t want that,” she struggled and moved back until her back was to the headboard.

In one swift movement he brought her back down again, she was conveniently pressed down into the mattress as he opened her legs eagle-wide, “It seems like the queen has gone. Too scared to be punished for her boldness. She left the innocent little bunny to suffer through the discipline.”

She shook her head, “Daddy please I don’t like that!”

He pressed the instrument directly on her sensitive nub and it started to vibrate. She couldn’t help moaning out her protests as he smiled.

“For your question earlier, this little thing right here is called a vibrator,” he smiled at her, loving her reaction as she whimpered and arched her back at the same time.

“Hurts... too sensitive,” she mumbled as she felt the sensation driving her mad.

“I know baby, so bear it a bit. Because this is a punishment for teasing me so badly,” he smiled cruelly as her moans and screams filled the air.

“Surrender... stop,” she begged him. “I won’t do it again, please daddy.”

He stopped the little machine and set it aside, replacing it with his thumb as he made circles on her clit. “Tell me why you wanted our privacy,” he demanded.

“Because... I need you to fuck me, daddy,” she panted out the words before he smiled triumphantly at her.

She felt her walls tighten around his cock the moment he entered her, her body convulsing under him as he mercilessly rails her body nonetheless.

Enjoying her moans of pleasure as he continued his assault, all he could do is fuck her even more.

When she felt like her whole being will break into a million pieces, he spilled his seeds inside her womb.

“My baby, my queen. Don’t be afraid to show me your true self. You have always been my little whore,” he whispered and caressed her cheek as her tongue lolled to the side, her saliva cascading down her neck as he gazed lovingly at her.

“I love you so, my queen. I do not mind how much of a whore you become in times like this. The truth is, it is the look I desire more from you. You are so fucking perfect for me, queenie,” he whispered as he watched her trembling body underneath him.
