Chapter 50
BRIANNA’S POV
****Trigger warning: Explicit scene. Viewer discretion is advised.****
The doctor’s body was taken away, and the bloody mess was cleaned up by the guards. During this time, Hermes stood by the window, drinking wine and occasionally giving me wicked devilish looks. By the time the guards were done, he had already finished an entire bottle of wine.
I was still shaken by the memory of the doctor’s murder, the images replaying in my head over and over again like a horror movie. Hermes said he’d punish me most painfully and dreadfully. Seeing him kill that doctor who was a good man and had only tried to help me had already done more than enough pain. He had succeeded. Then why didn’t he want to untie me and let me go back to my room? My muscles were already sore and overworked from the impact of struggling under the ropes. I needed to get the hell out of this room.
I wanted to talk desperately, but the napkin in my mouth stopped me, causing me to mumble. Hermes, noticing my persistence, dropped his wine glass, came over, and sat on the bed beside me. He removed the napkin from my mouth, and the first thing I did was spit on his face.
“You bastard!!” My words ripped out angrily from my throat. “Haven’t you punished me enough already? Untie me and let me get the hell out of this room.”
Looking away, he wiped my saliva off his face with the back of his hand, his jaw clenched tight. I could see that what I did had fueled his anger more. But a man like him, a true devil, deserved every bit of it and so much more.
“You know what,” he turned to me, still wiping his face in anger. “I was actually thinking of letting you go. But because of what you just did…I just want to say congratulations. You’ve just added to your punishment.”
Standing, his hard, resentful expression turned to a mischievous smirk.
Guards!” He called out with a tone that was sinister and less authoritative.
The door swung open at once and the guards who had been standing guard outside the door after they finished cleaning up the bloody mess caused by the doctor’s murder marched in.
Walking to them, Hermes patted their shoulders. The smirk on his face had widened and was reaching his ears.
“How would you two like to…have a taste of her?”
Startled by Hermes's words, I took in a quick sharp breath, my heart skipping several beats. He couldn’t be serious. Was this another one of his tricks?
“Hermes…you can’t be serious right now…don’t do this…please.” My lips quivered uncontrollably.
“You stubborn mule. I have warned you severally to never address your master by his name,” Hermes roared at me. “You’d better control that tongue before it earns you another punishment.”
“Master?” one of the guards called out, looking like someone who had just won a lottery and wanted to double-check their luck. “You mean like you…you want us to fuck her?”
“Yes,” Hermes pressed their shoulders tighter and leaned forward with a whisper. “Yes, I want you two to fuck her. Fuck her hard…really hard. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. So don’t hold back. Enjoy it like it’s your last,” he glanced back at me and offered a wink. Then patted their shoulders again and their cheeks before settling by the dresser, crossing his arms over his chest, looking like an eager audience awaiting a captivating show.
The guards’ gazes travelled to me, their lips curling to a lascivious smirk. And their eyes gleamed with intense lust and desire. They looked like hungry wolves who were more than ready to feast on the flesh of their prey.
“Hermes…sorry…My love, please I’m sorry. Don’t let them do this to me,” I pleaded, acidic tears corroding my eyes. But it all fell on deaf ears. He wasn’t even listening to me. He was just standing there smirking dangerously, waiting for the show to kick start.
The next thing I held was quick breathing and unbuckling of belts. The guards took off every piece they had on, revealing their naked form. And rubbing their hardening cocks vigorously as they approached me with that hungry wolf look on their faces.
One mounted the bed and spread my already spread legs wider, causing me to scream as I heard a snap. The other nestled close to my upper body.
“Don’t you dare touch me, you pieces of shit!!” I snarled at them, trying to wriggle from their possession. But the rope prevented me. Hurting me with each attempt.
“Shut up,” the one close to my face gritted, thrusting forward. “You don’t know how long we’ve waited for this. For this body of yours,” his eyes scanned every inch of my body and then he licked his lips. “Your body is so sumptuous it could make any man cum under two seconds---"
I spat at him, silencing his words. His anger flared, and he retaliated by grabbing the napkin Hermes had left on the floor and forcefully shoving it into my mouth, making me choke.
His hands ravaged and kneaded my puffs. He clutched my nipples and pulled them so hard, I squeezed my eyes close as a thick wave of pain rippled through me. Holding onto one, he lowered and bit into the other, suckling into it as though it was his source of life.
The other guard had dug his face deep between my legs, biting, sucking, licking my innocent hole while his fingers rubbed my clit vigorously. The feel of his saliva on my hole triggered bile in my throat. If not for the napkin stuffed in my mouth, I was sure I would have thrown up.
My eyes were still pressed shut in agony as acidic tears continued to trickle out, burning my face. I wished there was a way I could escape all this. Disappear into thin air. Or perhaps…die to stop all this suffering Hermes was subjecting me to. But I couldn’t move. I couldn’t speak. I couldn’t scream. I couldn’t groan. All I could do was cry. I cried out the pain. The agony. The distress. The hurt. And bore that moment like a cross in my heart.
When my eyes opened, my vision was clouded by my tears. Everything around me appeared as a blurry mess, and the world seemed to move in slow motion. I thought I saw Hermes pull open the dresser drawer and draw out something that looked like a small blade.
Just when the guard whose face was nestled between my thighs rose and was about to plunge his phallus inside me, Hermes tapped him on the shoulder.
“Hey,” the guard turned to him and without warning, Hermes planted the blade somewhere that made me press my lips together tightly and look away quickly in disgust. The guard whimpered and dropped dead.
The other guard seeing this jolted from my puffs, breathing hard like he’d seen the devil. What Hermes did hit him extremely hard like a fast-moving train.
“Alpha Hermes…” his widened gaze fell on his fellow’s corpse and returned to Hermes. Then he swallowed a lump.
“So you thought you could fuck the same slave as your king?” Hermes let out an incredulous scoff.
“But… but you said we could have her,” Amid his fear, the guard’s brows squished together in utter confusion.
“Yes,” Hermes sneered at him. “I was tasting your level of loyalty. You could have been wise enough to decline. But instead desire and lust clouded your mind and led you in the wrong direction. I won’t kill you. But let this serve as an example to you, the other guards and any other male in this castle who’ll try to have their way with her or even look at her with desire. I’ll gladly pluck your eyeballs and store them in a collection box. She is mine and mine alone until I say otherwise. Is that clear?!”
“Yes, Alpha Hermes,” he replied, bowing slightly, still appearing confused and shaken by what Hermes had done.
“Now get rid of this shit and clean this place up.”
He nodded and rushed to his clothes which were scattered on the floor, the blood emanating from the dead guard’s corpse that was forming a pool, just an inch away from drenching it.
“And as for you,” Hermes walked to me and grabbed me by the chin. “From today henceforth, your door post will be free of any guards and left unlocked. But if you ever try to escape me again, I’ll not only roast that sweet pussy of yours, but I’ll also fuck you so hard you’ll wish you were dead,” he emphasized his last words and let go of my chin. Is that clear,” he snarled, forcing me to nod obediently in his clutch.
“Untie her and have the maids bathe her and take her back to her room once you’re done cleaning,” he said to the guard as he made his way to the door.
“Yes, master.” He bowed in reverence.
I couldn’t think straight or react. Everything that happened today overwhelmed me. It was a lot to take in and process. It was like a powerful storm that caught me off guard. His last words continued to echo in my head, crippling every thought I had of escaping. If he didn’t decide otherwise, then I'm stuck with him in this hellhole…forever.
