The Tyrant's Pet

Abel carried Aries, the woman who just became the most desired woman in the empire, to her chambers to claim her. It may sound like it was an act of inflating his ego to have and hold the woman others could only stare at from a distance, but he didn\'t care.

Kicking the door, he sucked her breath away and deepened his kiss whilst closing the door with his foot. Aries clutched his shoulders tightly, breathless as his hungry kisses, fighting for dominance, forced her to submit.

Before she knew it, her back had already hit the mattress. She panted for air as he drew back to adjust their position, removing his tie pit, eyes burning deep into her soul.

"Abel, wait, I…" her eyes dilated when he suddenly grabbed the lower half of her face, covering her lips without gentleness, but at the same time, not enough to hurt her.

"Not a word of negotiation, Aries," came out a condescending voice, eyes darkening despite his attempt to sport an innocent look. "Unless you don\'t want the bed, then I do not mind proceeding with what\'s inside my head."

Abel cocked his head to the side, fluttering his eyelashes ever so tenderly. He wanted to make love to her just like the way she wanted first, before doing it his way. However, this growing sense of desire for a stronger reassurance was sinking deeper in his corrupted soul.

It was eating him from the inside.

Her reassurance was enough, but he was thorough. When the corner of his lips curled up into a condescending smile, her breath hitched.

"I changed my mind," he said under his breath, pulling her wrist up. "Get up, darling. Let\'s breathe some fresh air."

All she could do was get dragged by him, speechless and appalled. He opened the doors connecting to the terrace without a second of hesitation, pulling her in until she was in front of him.

Her hands held onto the railing on instinct, turning her head back in disbelief. But before anything could escape her mouth, Abel planted his palm on either side of her, his back against her back.

"Abel!"

"Shh…" he bent over to her side, casting her an indifferent side-eye. "People are still here, darling. You don\'t want to catch their attention, would you?"

Her breath once again hitched, focusing on the voices below the balcony. She gulped, turning her head to peek out over the balcony, seeing some knights talking and walking.

"Abel, this… are you planning to sabotage my hard work?" she inquired under her breath, voice shaking as she hung her head low.

"No, of course not." He brushed her hair to the other side and leaned his face to her neck, tracing it with the apex of his nose.

"Not here," came out a muffled voice, twisting her neck to face him. "People might see…"

"From this height?" he arched a brow and sported a knowing look. "I don\'t think so. Unless, of course, you scream, then people will look up."

Aries bit her lower lip, eyes full of conflict. Back in the Rose palace, it was alright to make love with him since everyone deserted the place. However, this place was different and if they saw her with Abel, things would take a tremendous turn.

Even so… her knees were trembling at the thought while her blood traveling to the ends of her nerves circulated at a higher speed, causing her body temperature to rise. For some reason, even if she mentally denied it, she was… thrilled.

Abel smirked, knowing that conflicted look she was giving him. He licked his lips.

How cute.

"Darling, isn\'t it fun?" he crooned as he leaned his face closer, planting soft and slow kisses on her jaw. "When you\'re trying to convince yourself you\'re sane, when in fact, you are aware you\'re barely stepping on the fine line between sanity and insanity."

His hand on the railing slid to wrap around her waist while the other was lifting her heavy skirt until it slid under. Aries instantly shivered when the night breeze caressed her thigh, in stark contrast to the hot breaths on her neck.

"The thought of getting caught, spoiling the months of hard work just for this day, and being seen committing an unvirtuous act… why are you thrilled?" he smiled against her skin, sliding his thumb around the garter of her underwear—from her hip to the front—to tease her.

"I hate you," she spat out under her breath, shuddering when his hand slid inside her underwear completely. Thanks to his arm around her waist, Aries didn\'t stumble down when her knees wobbled uncontrollably.

She propped her arms against the railings, gasping as his finger massaged her already dripping core. But she couldn\'t make a sound when her eyes caught figures below, covering her lips on instinct.

"Hate me still?" he whispered in her ear and then bit it sensually. "But darling, how is it my fault that you\'re already dripping before touching you?"

Aries let out a muffled noise as she hunched in, knees closing in when he penetrated her with his two fingers. With her body shivering and the junction between her thigh clenching, his deep and devious tone continued to tickle her ears.

"Shall we stop now?" he asked, moving his fingers in and out ever so teasingly. "You already hate me enough. I don\'t want to be hated even more."

His arm around her hips moved up to the side of her head, guiding it so she would look at him. He tilted his head, mouth falling open at the sight of her flustered and conflicted expression.

"Ah… your inner conflict never fails to arouse me, Aries." He leaned his face forward and added under his breath, "you make my erection ache, darling. Treat this as an act to appease your jealous lover," before smashing his lips against hers.

,m Aries shut her eyes, torn between the fear of being found out and wanting to satisfy herself even with the risk. Before she could even decide, he suddenly pulled his fingers out and pulled down her underwear.

Her eyes snapped open, and she was about to turn around but was hindered when he planted his palm on her back and pushed her. "Abel, wait…" she trailed off as her eye dilated when she caught two knights walking below.

As if nature was teasing her, one of the knights looked up and locked eyes with Aries. From the knight\'s vantage point, he could barely see her leaning against the railings and was unaware she was blocking a man behind her.

"Flash them your beautiful smile, darling," Abel instructed and simpered, zipping down before smudging the love juices from his finger to the tip of his erection.

"Ah… hah…" she bit her tongue and held her breath, forcing a smile at the knight while Abel held her hips and breached her entrance.
