Prologue

"I love you, Merlyn. The feeling is frightening. I have you, but it's like I don't have you enough. So I hug you, but when I do, it's like you're not close enough. So I kiss you, and still I can't get enough. So I make love to you. And yet, and still I feel like I'll wake up and won't be sure. And I worry. I worry that I'll lose you again. That's one of the reasons I watch you sleep. Because I'm afraid if I close my eyes, when I open them again, you'll be gone. This is why I want to marry you, Merlyn, do you understand?"

A lone tear fell from my lashes. "I'll never leave you again, Stephen. You're my lifeline."

The next moment a menacing laughter left out of him. "That's right. You are my slave and should be ready 24/7 to follow my instructions. He placed his finger under her chin, tilting it upward to kiss her. The kiss was wild, demanding and ferocious taking away the breath out of her.

Merlyn whimpered. "Stephen, please stop. You are forcing me to death. Is this the way you love someone?"

"Bloody woman, stop dictating the terms and kiss me back." He pulled her hair and angled her neck in a feral crave.

Seconds  passed and Merlyn was almost knocking the doors of heaven with his perilous advances but ultimately it was due to her lucky stars the kiss turned soft and caressing that bled into a hard tongue thrust and possessive fever.

She submissively smoothed her palms over his taut pecks, shivering at the heat seeping through his pores.

She tried to part, unable to take over anymore his cavernous moves but he glued her to the kiss, not wanting to let go.

Having found no other way to escape, she bit his tongue and that was a blunder for Stephen hated ruling women.

He growled into her mouth with irresistible anger and capitulated. "You bloody devil,"

Kissing her along her neck, he forcefully tilted her head back, exploring her throat, and sucked at her soft flesh long and hard enough to mark her his. "I hate it when you resist me. You should know I'm invincible ." He raggedly whispered and directed her face to his chest.

She traveled down his firm sternum, swirled her tongue around his nipple, and he flexed his well-built chest. 'Bloody bastard' - she thought with distaste quelling her mouth.

"Please stop, I need to go. It is enough for today." She requested, and he bit her nipple.

The subsequent jump of her body was not deliberate this time, much to his satisfaction. "Take that as my gift for denial." He said to her like a reigning Lucifer.

His kisses meandered down her body until she was soon on her knees, the position he wanted her.

Her fingers twirled in his silky trail while she one-handedly unzipped his jeans and freed his rock-hard, veined erection. It was hot, red with blood and felt impressively sturdy in her hands.

She peered up at him through her lashes while he leered down at me with hooded blue eyes. Then he flashed a lopsided grin and twitched his dick in her hand. Again. And again. Cocky, cocky ass.

Eyes glued to his, she took his crest in her mouth. His lips parted, and he tried to make his ensuing sighs imperceptible. He knew she was challenging him if he could ever give up on her. Accompanied with an enormous revenge, it was a game of love and war. He knew she'd put up a tough fight for him but what she did not know was, he was surely not a loser.

Licking around his blood-filled crest, she slid her tongue through the split that sprouted pre-cum. He emitted a shuddering sigh this time, but still kept his gaze transfixed on hers.

She took him in, inch by inch, going lower and lower until she felt him touch her tonsils, her lips wrapped tightly around his base.

Stephen slammed his eyes shut and his head fell backwards. "Shhhhhhhiiiiiit."

Then she began to move, pleasuring him with her mouth, sheathing her teeth and sucking him hard. Occasionally releasing him with a 'pop'. Whenever he tried to flex his hips, she'd tighten her fingers around the base of his shaft, blocking his orgasm. At least at once she wanted to be in control.

"Fuck, Merlyn… you wouldn't allow me even a peaceful sex…please…" He finally pleaded with her which felt like music to her ears. At last they were 0-1.

He was famous for being merciless in bed and this was her return. She tormented him a minute longer, reveling in his garbling and the way his body shivered as his hands helplessly gripped the railings.

Ending the torture, she uncurled her fingers from the base of his shaft, grasped him with both hands and pumped while she sucked.

Her hands and mouth moved in synergy. He swelled and grew harder, his hands now fisted in her hair. "Shit...about to...hot...damn...no...shit…"

Knowing he was about to climax, she took him all the way in, shoving his swollen steel-hard dick to the back of her throat, as far as she could go without choking.

"Ah Christ!" he growled as he reached his peak and sent his fluids squirting down her throat, pulsing effusively.

Expended, he slumped back against the railing, simultaneously lifting her to her feet. His lips came down to mine, kissing me hard. "How did you—" he started to ask when he pulled away, but curtailed and shook his head. "Don't you ever goddamn leave me. You understand?"

She nodded, nevertheless did she have a choice? She was his prisoner to be apt a slave who should satisfy him in all his physical persuits.

"Promise me." He was waiting for her to reply and with each passing second she could see his eyes turn darker in fury. Her body trembled with his devilish nature and hairs on her body stood up with fright.

As her lips refused to function, she urged her body to react to save her skin from his merciless whips. On her tippy toes, she stood and smacked him a kiss. "I promise. I'll never leave you, Stephen."

"God damn it! How many times should I say, you should add - I love you very much." He slammed his lips on hers in a punishment and sucked all the air from my lungs.


Merlyn woke up from her bed in a jerk with her face turned red and body covered in sweat. It was the same dream again. 'He was her past. Now she had escaped him and he would never come back in her life.' She tried to counsel herself by wiping the sweat on her face with a napkin but her conscience refused to listen. He was there happily breathing in some corner of the world and he will come back to get her one way or the other.

I hate you Stephen Collomen.
