9 ~ The Escape Plan

Cassandra POV

His longest finger was drawing soft but impactful strokes down on my core. Resulting in an increase in my heartbeats and impatience. My fingers fisting his wrist tightly as I felt my stomach stretching and some kind of longing for a release.

My mouth hung open, eyelids wrinkled with the shut vision.

“Ryan, Pleaseeeeeeee,”

I breathed near his ear and to increase my impatience for the growing sensations, he grabbed my neck stable with the other hand. I felt caged and unable to move anymore.

My toes rolled and my body stretched in his lap. I could feel him smiling devilishly.

There was a collection of wetness between my thighs and I could feel more liquid on the way. I didn't know what he was doing and what was happening to me. But, right now all I wanted was to get rid of this loneliness and the relief from the wetness stuck in me.

"Will you ever dare to speak in a loud voice?" He questioned with authority and smirk.

My lips felt stitched and too tired already to answer. I kept breathing and sucked on my lower lip as he forced pressure on his fingertip and strokes continuously.

"Tell me," he ordered again.

"No," I declared.

He angled my face as his lips access to my cheeks. He kissed my blushing cheeks and I felt a wave of release hitting my body.

He instantly slowed down after my release and I shivered insanely.

"Ahh, oh my god," I breathed and relaxed a little.

Moving his finger away, he adjusted my gown and turned me into his lap, so that he could see my face.

Cupping my cheeks, he leaned in to kiss my neck.

"I liked this glow," he muttered and I closed my eyes in defeat.

There was no way I could kill him if he kept doing this witch magic with me.

I felt tired, exhausted and didn't realise when he snaked his arm around me and my head slowly rested on his chest. I could hear the faded rhythm of his heartbeats as I shut my eyes, feeling a little comfortable. His warmness soothed my chilled body.

I blinked once, twice, thrice and then didn't realise when I fell asleep.

I woke up when my strong sleep felt complete.

Lifting my lashes, I noticed the roof over me. It was made of grey stones and had floral designs. There were some kind of creatures carved on it and I thinned my eyebrows. I spread my arms wide and realised that I was sleeping on a really comfortable bed.

Straightening myself, I realized that it was the King’s chamber and looked more precisely at the furniture and bed. My eyes turned shocked as I was sleeping in his huge bed.

Raking my hands over my chest, I acknowledged that my gown was tied perfectly.

I quickly pulled the comforter off my body and stood up from there.

Walking towards the balcony, I tried to look at the sky. It was almost late afternoon and I remembered that I came here in the morning and he again used his wicked magic on me.

But, how could his actions affect me so much? I mean, I was about to kill him but he managed to liquid my burning nerves in just a few moments and made me end up begging him.

Suddenly, the door pushed open and my sight fell on a few ladies entering inside.

“Oh, She is awake,” I heard one muttering into the other's ear.

“You know the King asked not to wake her up,” The other one muttered and I darted my gaze at them. They turned shut and indulged in their work.

Two of them started making the bed and the other three started cleaning the chamber.

They were stealing glances at me awkwardly and I just lowered my gaze.

What was I supposed to do now?

"May I help?" I asked one of them.

She looked at me and her face turned slightly pale and she denied instantly.

"No, no, pleaseeee,"

I thinned my eyebrows as it felt really strange.

"But why? I was asked to do work," I pointed out.

"King's special slave can't work. She is only for his joy and pleasure," she stated.

"Joy and pleasure? What am I supposed to do then?" I asked irritatedly. I have never been a lazy person.

In my kingdom, I used to practice sword fighting, learning war tactics and very much interested in economics. Also, I loved cooking for myself and my brother. I never passed my day without working.

"You are supposed to keep the King happy and seduce him," one of them said.

"Seduce him? As in?" I asked as if I misunderstood anything.

"Seduce him, that's your work and job. To keep the King happy. Being the special sex slave or whore means you have to take care of his needs and agrees to whatever he wants to do," she stated dusting off the bedsheets.

"Whatever he wants to do? What if he wants to kill me? Should I present him with my neck," I said in anger.

They all looked at me with shock and then one of them said.

"If he wanted to kill you, he could have already,"

I sat in the chair as this place was really strange and stupid.

"Can I go back to my room?" I asked, lifting my gaze.

"Yes, but you have to be here before the Lord arrives," she informed.

I breathed in utter disgust and one of them said.

"It's your luck that his highness has laid his eyes on you. You should be thankful to the Slave master that he didn't give you to anyone else, other wise you couldn't be speaking like this,"

I thinned my eyebrows with the comment and stopped in midways.

"And why so?"

"Because his highness has rejected over eight hundred twenty seven girls in the last eight years. And you are the first one who entered in his chamber and slept on his bed,"

Her words made me feel a knot in my stomach. So, I was his very first project to try his wicked magic. Insane.

"And what will he do with you?" I asked with complete fear. I didn't want myself to be caged in something senseless as I have heard the stories of King's burning their slaves for their enjoyment.

"Don't know, maybe he will do everything with you," she said and others chuckled.

Idiots.

I ignored them and came back to my chamber. My stomach growling with hunger and this was best not to torcher myself at least for that crazy King.

I was about to get out, to inquire about the lunch but just then my roommate entered.

"Oh, Cass, you are here?"

She smiled and sat on her bed. My sight fell on the plate of food in her hand and she kept it beside her.

"I am good, Miss?"

"Kate,"

She finished.

"Miss Kate, do you mind telling me where I can get food for myself?" I asked a little hesitantly.

"Yeah, you should go the ground floor, turn to the left and at the end you will find the kitchen. There is two times meals served here. Make sure you eat both your meals when the Lord is busy with work, because then you have to skip your meal,"

She finished and I took a deep breath controlling my anger.

Lord, lord and lord. These people were insane. He was just Ryan for me, not any kind of lord or king but a murderer.

But, controlling my emotions I big a warm Thank you and walked out of the room.

Following her given direction, I reached the kitchen where a few attendees were working. I had to stand in a queue as there was a crowd gathered. The chaos felt really irritating to me. But, maybe this was my life now.

I waited until my turn came. I asked for lunch and they asked me my name and work. They looked suspiciously at me as I was new here.

I told them my details and then they asked my position or work criteria.

I sucked on my lips as I remembered what many people called me back then and how I agreed with him that I was his slave and whore.

"I am the king's slave," I muttered slowly.

"Sorry," She muttered.

"I am the kin… the King's Sl...slave," I finished with good audacity.

She nodded and handed me over the plate of food.

Honestly, my hunger was dead now. Never in my whole life have I felt so small and useless. I couldn't even protect myself and forget about my people.

Apart from me, they enslaved almost seven hundred women and they all must be suffering way more than me.

I took a deep breath as I really had to think about something to leave this place.

Climbing the stairs slowly and walking back to my room with the plate, I remembered all the good people I met. Though, I didn't meet many people as my brother used to keep me safe from men.

But, suddenly I remembered that before this tragedy, he was looking for a man for me. He was thinking about my marriage and there was some kind of conversation regarding this going on with the King of another kingdom. He even gave me the address details to the Kingdom to have some chat.

I quickly turned on my heels as I needed to search for it in my safe.

This was it, all I had to do was send a letter to my Fiance.
