Leonara remained still in Ansell’s arms as he carried her towards the bedroom. Her body was utterly drained of energy, and she couldn’t even hold her head up on her own.
Meeting with William, him telling her about the past, the incident with Jonathan everything was too much for her to bear. She rested it against his chest, her arms instinctively wrapping around his neck for support.
Inside her mind, the events of the day replayed over and over, and she couldn’t help but hold herself responsible for everything that had happened. Silent tears tricked down her cheeks, wetting Ansell’s shirt.
As they entered the house, she could see Desy standing there, watching them intently. Leonara noticed her but she neither looked at her moved. She was lying in Ansell’s arms with no energy as he took her to the room.
Bending down, he slowly put her on the bed and stood beside her. Their eyes were locked and their lips were sealed. Their eyes were void of any emotions, but they spoke volumes.
Drop-dead silence surrounded them as he started unbuttoning his shirt.
Ansell’s determinacion blazed in his eyes, and Leonara understood that he wouldn’t stop until he shattered the last remaining piece of her soul. She felt utterly drained, and the battle within her was becoming too much to bear.
She didn’t want to fight any longer.
She tried her best stay strong but now it is getting too much for her. She cannot see anyone getting hurt because of her. She was ready to bear his torture but she couldn’t anyone else suffer.
After removing her shirt and kicking away his pants, he hovered above her. The beast within him was still howling, but now he seemed intent on quelling it, at least for the moment, before he unleashed it upon her with cruelty.
When she tried to take her life, he was shaken to the core. He had wanted to heal the wounds he had inflicted on her, but instead, he had caused her even deeper pain.
He felt no regret, though, because his unlimited goal was to make her surrender to him completely, just as she had now done.
She belonged to him and she would have to accept it. He was ready to break her even more if this was what was needed.
He has waited for years to make her his and now he can’t stop, even if he wants. The girl he liked for so many years was lying under him for his taking and he can’t let go of this opportunity. The rational side of his mind was blocked out as his demons were driving him. Even he was not sure what he was going to do today.
He leaned forward and reduced the gap between their lips. His kiss was a fervent assault, claiming Leonara’s Lips without resistance.
He placed a deep and long kiss on her lips but she didn’t respond like the last time. The last time she was playing with him, she put forward the demand of releasing her brother the next morning but this time she had no such hope. She wanted nothing from Ansell.
She stayed beneath him, letting him do whatever he wanted and just get over it.
He kept his lips still for a few seconds, as if trying to control his beast, before he started feeding on them.
He kissed her with hunger, like a predator savoring it’s prey, devouring her without mercy.
He kissed her possessively, passionately, hungrily, devotedly, and fiercely, ravishing her lips as if devouring them while she stayed still.
Her eyes closed tightly, and all she could see were her brother and Jonathan, consumed by their pain, who were tortured by Ansell. She didn’t want anyone else to hurt so badly so she stayed quiet.
Her lips were already swollen from all the crying but that didn’t stop the beast from claiming them.
He was so lost in the intense kiss that he didn’t even notice whether she was responding back or not.
He moved back when she became out of breath. His kisses trailed down from her lips to her jawline and continued lower, moving sensually along her neck. Ansell was lost in her scent, a source of calm and ease for him.
“You are mine, Tereso” he said, licking her soft spot and she shuddered under him.
“I cannot share you with anyone”
He bit her and she squealed in pain, tears dribbling down the corner of her eyes.
He licked the spot where he had just bitten to soothe the pain and share relaxed.
“Only I could cure your wound, even if it were given to me. You are not allowed to think of anyone else” his dominance and desire for control over her were unmistakable.
Ansell’s hands urgently removed her dress, and when it didn’t come off quickly, he tore it away in hid impatience. His rough act hurt her but she didn’t make any noise. He was determined to claim her and make her understand that she was his possession.
“Every inch of your body” he proclaimed as he unhooked her bra and discarded it. “Is mine?” He grabbed her bosom.
His hand held her possessively, his eyes looking at her hungrily as he repeated his words like a psycho.
“Every inch of your body, every beat of your heart, every inhale of your breath, every bit of your existence is mine, Tereso”
Eventually, an inaudible sob escaped her lips along with tears from the corner of her eyes when she saw that unsettling possessiveness in his eyes, an intensity that sought to consume her, to break her down, to conquer and dominate her. Her heart pounded with fear when she thought that she was bound to him forever.
“I can’t think of any other girl than you, Nara. You are in my head all the time. I don’t even look at at someone else. I want the same devotion from you”
His one hand groped her bosom while the other wrapped around her throat gently, as if wanting to assert her claim.
“Tell me , Tereso” he demanded, his eyes ablaze with intensity as they locked onto hers, which were blurred with tears. “Tell me that you are mine as much as I am yours”
“I am yours ” she surrendered, her voice breaking. “I am yours, Ansell, completely yours”
A heart wrenching sob escaped her throat as she gave herself over to him entirely.
“I love you Nara”
Her body froze as those three words came out of Ansell’s mouth.
All those years, her ears have longed to hear them but now that he has confessed his love for her, she feels so burdened. She realised that his love came with possessiveness and control, making her question the meaning of those words.
She was waiting for the day when he would confess his love for her, and she would tell him how much he already love him, wanted him, and desire him, but now everything seems meaningless to her.
She knew that her feelings didn’t matter to him. He loves her, he wants her in hid life, that’s enough for him.
He leaned forward and sucked the tears from the corner of her eyes one by one.
“I love you so much, Tereso” he said, planting a kiss on her forehead. “I always did”
He continued to shower with her kisses, moving from her forehead to the top of her nose and then softly capturing her lips.
“And I know that you also love as much as I do”
Indeed, she loved him as much as he did. She was ready to do anything for him but now that he had snatched away her happiness, she couldn’t stop the feeling of resentment from developing in her heart.
“You are my breath, my heartbeat, my lifeline, and the purpose and meaning of my life, Tereso. Without Nara, Ansell is nothing”
Every word that he spoke sent shivers of fear down her spine.
“I want to claim you in every way possible ” he whispered against her lips” I wnatyto tell the entire world that you belong to me so that no one could dare to even look at you. I want you to be mine for eternity ”
His finger trailed down from the middle of her throat, through the valley of her breast, and down her stomach and she exactly knew where he was heading. She couldn’t deny that his intensity both frightened and aroused her. As his fingers traced a path down her body, she couldn’t help but gasp at his boldness.
He cupped her vagina and growled, “Mine”
She blinked multiple times as she tried to suck in as much oxygen as he could. His possessiveness was now becoming deadly for her. She couldn’t even breathe.
In an instant, he moved back and, with a hard tuck, removed the last piece of cloth from her before removing his boxer.
Ansell hovered above her, his hands exploring her body with an aggressive hunger, his palms massaged her whole body, squeezing groping, touching, and caressing whether he wanted.
His hands were harsh but his lips were soft as they worshiped her body. He was breathing her in, feeding on her skin and his hands seemed to not want to leave her body even for a second. She could feel the intensity of his desire like wildfire.
His patience became thin and now he wanted to claim her once again.
Last time, he went gentle on her but this time he didn’t have any such intentions. The alcohol, the possessiveness, the anger, the hunger for her everything pushed his beast to unleash itself on her.
“Are you ready, my love?” He asked as he settled himself at her entrance.
Even if there was a room for escape, she didn’t want to because now she understood that there was no running from him. He could have what he wants and resistance would only hurt her and others more.
She closed her eyes and nodded her head voluntarily, accepting it as her fate.
He didn’t waste any time leaning over her, claiming her lips, and pushing himself inside in one thrust.
He moaned in pleasure she groaned in pain at the same time.
He kissed her deeply to stifle her groans, and soon her cries of discomfort transformed into soft moans of esctasy. Her body responded to his, and she reached climax twice while he relentlessly thrust inside her.
His grunts of pleasure filled the room as he picked up the pace, truly claiming her in the way he had always desired.
“You are so sweet, Tereso” he said, breaking the kiss, “So tight and beautiful. I don’t think I could ever get enough of you”
With a loud groan, he came inside her and it was not the first time that he had done that.
He collapsed beside her, making sure that he was not crushing her under his weight.
In the fit of rage and possessiveness, he went a bit harsher on her than the previous night, which made her immobile but what dreaded her was that the beast inside him seemed to grow even more untamed.
She tried to make her distance but he grabbed her before she could move even a single inch.
“I am not done yet” he declared, flipping her on the stomach.
She clutched the sheets tightly as he entered her once again with the same ferocity, causing to sequel in pain before succumbing to pleasure.
She couldn’t get what was happening to her body. She lost count of how many time he took her, his hunger seemed to intensity each time but every time he made sure that she had an equal share of her pleasure.
The last thing she remembered was him moaning her name like a mantra before everything faded to black as she lost consciousness and her body was now drained of energy.
