Chapter 17

The car is waiting outside the Palace entrance, with the driver I first met after being sold to Alekai waiting patiently for us. He looks my way, a frown evident on his face, before turning to Alekai.

“Pardon my meddling, Your Highness, but are you sure this slave won't try to run? She did think to try it when you brought her home.”

“Don’t worry, Nick. I trust Lyra and know she will stay by my side.” Alekai answers, helping me into the car as I roll my eyes. But Alekai is right; I wanted to stay with him. Besides, even if I try to run, my necklace would inject a serum into my body, and the tracking device would alert Alekai and the Guards to my location. I would need this collar off if I ever decided to run away. I slide into the seat, settling in comfortably for the ride as Alekai slides in beside me, wrapping an arm around my waist and pulling me to his side.

“So, where are we going?” I ask, snuggling close to him as the car comes to life and begins to make its way out of the Palace grounds.

“It’s a surprise,” is the answer I get, with Alekai closing his eyes. I once again roll my eyes, deciding to watch the view outside as the Palace gates open. I catch glimpses of the outside world once again since being sold. The world looked the same, as if three ladies being taken and sold had never happened two weeks ago. Through the streets, I could see the fruit stand where I would shop, the café owned by Mrs. Laila where I would grab my breakfast from in the morning, and the park I would take a walk through. Sadness swells inside me, thinking about the life I had before being kidnapped and sold and wondering if I would ever be able to do those mundane things I used to do again.

Then fear replaced the sadness as soon as the car turned onto a familiar road.

“You… You’re not taking me back, are you?” I hate how small I sound as I cling to Alekai, turning to look at the man as the car slowly drives closer to L'esclave Adoré. I can vividly remember the poor girl being bred and the customers wanting to breed with me as well. I know that as my owner, Alekai could sell me back, and my fate would be in the Shop owner's hands. I would do anything to avoid that fate.

“No, Lyra, I am not taking you back there,” Alekai reassures me while running his fingers through my hair. I still felt unease, the fear still strong inside me as I move closer to him, refusing to let go. This causes Alekai to sigh, his hand now fisting my hair and tilting my head to look at him again.

“How about I prove to you that you aren’t going anywhere?” He whispers, his voice gaining a husky undertone as his lips capture mine in a heated kiss. His hand leaves my hair, moving down to my waist as he quickly scoops me onto his lap, forcing me to kneel with his lap in between my legs. I can already feel his need for me, the bulge in his groin rubbing into me as I slowly relax and grind into him. Our tongs battle for dominance while the kiss deepens, his hands sliding down my waist and to my ass, where he promptly spanks me, causing me to jolt and gasp with surprise.

The kiss ends as we pull apart, gasping for breath. His lips continue to pepper my cheek, chin and neck with little pecks before ending at my collarbone, making me moan while Alekai kisses, bites and sucks the sensitive skin. I can feel my body growing needy, wanting to feel him deep inside me once more as I move faster against his bulge, grinding and rubbing against the main before me.

“Now, do you believe you are mine, and I refuse to give you up?” He whispers into my ear, biting the lobe.

“Yes!” I moan. I am pushed onto my back on the seat, Alekai quickly pulling my thongs off and pushing my skirt up. His pants are now unbuttoned, and his cock stands at attention, stiff and ready to be buried inside me. It isn’t long until Alekai positions himself at my entrance, his cock slowly pushing inside my soaking wet pussy, and another loud moan leaves my lips as I feel every inch pressed against me. The car ride soon becomes filled with our moans and gasps, Alekai thrusting into me hard and fast, his lips and hands leaving a burning trail of need in their wake where ever he touches me until the two of us finish, his hot cum filling me as my walls squeeze around him.

By now, we are far from the city, and my worries of being sent back to L'esclave Adoré are long gone. I was Alekai’s, and nothing will change that. I will never be sold or harmed as long as I am with this man, whether as his Lover or Sex Slave, and the realization that I accept this notion calms me. I will never have to fight for my life again and would be protected by this man.

“Alekai,” I whisper, wrapping my arms around his neck and pulling him closer to my body.

“Yes, Lyra?”

“Will you take this collar off of me one day? I promise I’ll never leave your side.” I ask, smiling softly at the man above me. I see his hesitation as he thinks about my words, letting out a long sigh as he buries his face in the crook of my neck.

“I can’t promise anything, Lyra, but I will take it off of you one day.” He answers, placing a soft kiss on my neck and taking a deep breath. His words fill me with a tiny spark of hope. It isn’t a promise, but knowing he plans to take this necklace off of me eventually is enough for now. I will regain my freedom eventually.
