Glancing at the knife in his hand, and then at the way his jaw clenches while he waits, I decide it best to do exactly as he wishes. At least for now. I have to regroup. Think everything through. I need time to process, but I need to be alive to do so. If all I have to do is stand naked before him, then so be it. Trying to not overthink or allow my pride to get in the way of my survival, I disrobe as fast as I can.

“Leave your panties on,” Phoenix instructs. “For now. I like the way they look on you. Delicate and sexy.”

I pause as his deep voice breaks my spell of compliance.

“Please don’t make me do this.” My voice quivers as much as my body does. Fresh tears erupt and run down my cheeks as I watch Phoenix, who maintains the cold expression he has had since the beginning.

He once again closes the distance between us and puts the knife under my chin so I have to look up into his blue eyes. He inhales deeply. “I love the way your tears smell against your cheeks.” He presses the tip of the knife into my skin, forcing a gasp to break free from my closed lips. He then darts his tongue past his lips and licks a trail up my cheek, collecting my tears for his tasting. “These will not be the last of your tears,” he nearly growls as he then lowers the knife to the edge of my panties.

“Please,” I say softly. Another sob breaks free. “I’ll do as you ask. I’m scared. Please don’t hurt me.”

The knife dips below the waistband of my panties and rests against my mound. The coolness of the steel against my intimate skin makes me gasp again as Phoenix brings his lips to my ear. “Stay still, Ani. It would be a shame to scar this pussy of yours.”

“Please…”

“You saw the nice part of me, and the one thing I’ve learned in my life, is that nice gets you nowhere. It fucking blindsides you. Godwins aren’t nice, and I have to remember that. You will remember that.”

He taps the metal of the knife against my clit, causing a surprising surge of sinful arousal. Horror at my captive situation, combined with my desire, weakens my knees. Beads of sweat form on my upper lip as I focus on not collapsing to the floor, thereby jamming the blade right through me.

“By the time I’m done with you, you’ll be the perfect partner and the perfect mother to our child. You belong to me now. I will be your master, your sir…” He pauses for a moment to examine my body from head to toe. He gives me a wicked look, clearly pleased with his thoughts of what that will mean. “I will be the man who controls every single breath you take and move you make. You were a bad, bad girl, Ani. But I can learn to be a forgiving man, and I know you will give me a beautiful baby. Another Godwin to take over the Medusa empire.”

He’s serious. This man is fucking serious.

“Do you understand what I’m saying, Ani?” Phoenix asks. “What my expectations are?”

I nod, trying to stay as still as I can while the knife resting on my pussy reminds me how precarious my situation is.

“Answer me the proper way,” Phoenix says firmly.

Not sure what he means exactly, I try to guess and reply, “Yes, sir.”

“Good girl.”

I swallow hard and with wide eyes try one last time to beg for mercy. “Please don’t do this. I swear I won’t say a single word to the police. I’ll go to jail. I’ll do whatever you want me to do. I won’t try to run away from you again. I promise you that I have learned my lesson. We don’t need to do this.”

“But we do,” Phoenix says.

“Please,” I plead as fresh tears fall. “I beg you.”

“You aren’t begging yet. Trust me. But you will. When I’m done with you, you’ll be begging for more. You’ll beg for my cock to be inside of you. You will plead with those tears in your eyes for my tongue to go lower and deeper. You will beg like a dirty girl. You will beg.” He presses the knife a little harder against my mound. “Now say it. Say yes, sir.”

“Yes, sir,” I whisper.

Who is this man? This isn’t the Phoenix Godwin I kissed not that long ago. I see my very own Jekyll and Hyde.

“Say it louder.” The knife goes even lower, rubbing my clit with the burn of seduction on its descent.

“Yes, sir!” I say louder as I tense. The sensation sets my body ablaze in arousal, but it’s so fucking wrong.

“Say it again and look me in the eyes like a good girl.”
