Chapter 57: Not again

He turned her around to face him, a full-blown glare on his face. One step after another, he moved closer to her, knowing she would not be able to handle the intensity and move away.

And she did just that, taking backward steps until her back met with the wall. She swallowed the invisible lump that formed in her throat, willing herself to stay calm despite the roaring chaos inside her.

Lucian’s hand hit the wall above her head, startling her. He then leaned in until his face was mere inches away from hers.

"Are you laying a curse on me?" he asked, his expression tight. "We don’t know the full extent of your abilities yet, but if a curse is part of it, then you better take it back. I’m already battling one curse—I’m not about to add everlasting erection to it."

It was impossible for him to imagine what it would look and feel like having to live the rest of his life with an everlasting boner. It wouldn’t be only painful and uncomfortable. It would drive him crazy.

Serena frowned, refusing to utter a word. She would have asked him to beg for it but she knew he would never do it. So making him wait in vain for her to take it back would be equally torturous.

"If I go to the bathroom to help myself get a release and it doesn’t work, then you can be sure that I’m breaking my promise to Marlowe tonight. Lucian dropped a threat, his eyes narrowing to mere slits. I’ll come to your room, drag you back here, and drill you in every place possible. And I won’t stop until I get my release. So you better take it back." He wasn’t convinced her words would have any effect, but with the kind of person she was, he didn’t want to take any risks.

Serena swallowed. The threat was enough to make her relent, but something registered in her head, adding to her conviction. Last night, he had wished her sweet dreams while she wished him a terrible night, only to see him in a terrible state the next morning.

She didn’t want to believe she had any such ability. It was just a coincidence, she said to herself. But what if?

"Fine. I take my words back," she finally said. "I hope you—" she continued, but he cut her halfway, stopping her from continuing the words she was about to spew.

"Shh... Don’t hope anything. You’ve taken it back, and that’s enough. Don’t complicate things further."

"So you’re scared? I thought you weren’t scared of anything." Serena spoke in a mocking tone, happy she could at least say something that put some fear in him.

But the smirk that appeared on his face told her that her victory was false—at least that was what he wanted her to think.

"Sex is my thing, Serena. I’m only scared your body will not be able to handle it if I start."

"Can you move away from me?" Serena probed in a pleading tone, already nearing her breaking point.

Thankfully, Lucian moved away, taking a step back. His seductive gaze, however, lingered on her form against the wall.

"I can give you toys if you want. I have some unopened ones," he offered, his voice dropping an octave as he waited for her response.

Serena frowned. "What am I supposed to do with toys?"

"Play with them, to get you to cum." Lucian answered. "Don’t you play with yourself?" He asked and almost immediately got the answer to the question from the look in her eyes, before she quickly masked it.

"I don’t need your toys," Serena responded.

"You don’t need them or you don’t know how to use them?" Lucian asked, his tongue seductively slipping out of his mouth and moving across his lower lip. "I can teach you how to use them if you say yes. Don’t worry, I’ll try to be gentle" His voice was an alluring elixir to Serena’s ears, slowly reeling her in. She knew if she didn’t leave at that moment, she would be doomed.

"I don’t need you to teach me anything either. Save your dirty lessons for your next call girl," Serena turned toward the door in readiness to walk out, but once again, he stopped her, returning to the previous position of trapping her between the wall and his body.

Only this time he went a little further. "Are you certain about that?" He asked, positioning his knees between her legs and grinding lightly against her crotch.

And Serena lost it. That singular movement sent bolts of pleasure shooting to her brains. She let out a moan that made Lucian move away from her instantly, praying earnestly that he doesn’t lose the last string of control he still held onto.

"Arghhh... Fuck!" He moved to the door and opened it, holding it ajar. "Leave, Serena, before I change my mind and drag you back to the bed."

"No," Serena’s response dropped from her lips before she could even think about it. How was he expecting her to leave when he had just set her body on fire?

But Lucian was not having it. He moved to her, grabbed her hand, and pulled her with him outside the room.

Then he returned inside and shut the door, leaving her outside.

Serena turned around to face the door, her intention to go back inside, but she stopped herself at the last minute and dragged her reluctant body to her room.

Back inside, Lucian sagged against the door, gritting his teeth. What sort of complicated life was this? For the first time in his life, he wanted a woman with the whole of his heart. But it was the same woman that everything and everyone in his life was fighting against him having.

How was he supposed to win this war?

Pushing himself up to his feet, he made to approach the bed, but he suddenly froze as a pain he was all too familiar with washed through him.

No! Not again!
