Page 50 of His Queen

Two strong hands shackle my feet, pinning my legs down.

No. No. No. Please.

Something cold encircles my wrist, followed by a clicking sound, and Nunzio finally removes his hand from my throat, leaving me gasping for air. My throat, chest, lungs, everything is on fire, and I’m still coughing violently when pain shoots up my arms, every muscle pulled taut as he cuffs me to a metal bar above my head.

“Stop,” I cough out, and I hate how weak I sound. “Don’t touch me.”

“Don’t touch you?” His dark brows slant inward, his evil intentions painted all over the lines on his face. “Birdie, I can do whatever the fuck I want with you.” He drops his palm to cover my breast, and a bitter taste explodes in my mouth. I’ve never experienced anything as revolting as his touch, and it turns violently in my gut.

“I told you, you’re mine now.”

A hiss slips from my lips, followed by a tormented moan as he squeezes, then tugs at my nipple.

“No one is here to stop me. No one is here to save you from me.”

I react, pulling at the restraints as I try to lift myself and spit in his face. I’m not sure if it’s a moment of bravery or insanity. But he grimaces, removing his hand from my body to wipe my spit from his cheek, his eyes turning into orbs of the darkest obsidian I’ve ever seen, and it scares me to the core.

There’s a moment of utter silence. It’s like the world stops for a split second that drags on for eons. My thoughts are frozen as I watch flames burst across his face, and warning knocks against my chest, confirming my worst fear is about to happen. God, this can’t be real. This has to be a nightmare. My lungs go tight, trying to find air when the only thing around them is fear and dread, the blood in my veins begging for help that won’t come. Not now.

Ice blasts and shatters through my insides as Nunzio grabs my waist, the other man’s hands gripping my ankles, and I’m being jerked around violently, my arms twisting awkwardly as my face hits the mattress—pain shooting to every corner of my body.

I cry out when my legs are spread open, and no matter how hard I try I can’t close them. I can’t get them to fucking close.

“Let’s see if you’re one of those sluts who pretend not to want it when their pussies are weeping at the thought of being taken against their will.” Without warning, his finger is inside me, violent and forceful, a scream tearing out of me.

“Stop, please!” Tears spill from my eyes as I try to fight. “Please don’t do this!”

“That’s it, birdie. Scream for me.”

Nicoli.

‘Scream for me, Hummingbird.’

“Looks like you really don’t want this. Maybe a second one will lube you up for me,” he taunts, and I choke on my own screams when he forces a second finger inside me, and I’m sure I’m dying. I must be dying because nothing has ever hurt this much.

“Don’t!”

“Lucky for me, the less they want it, the more determined I am to give it.” He pulls his fingers from my body, and I hear what sounds like him spitting. My legs get jerked farther apart, and Nunzio slaps his palm against my sex. “Nothing a little spit can’t fix.”

“Please don’t. Nunzio, please. I’m begging you. Don’t do it. Don’t do it! God, please!”

“Let's see if your cunt is worth Felix dying over.”

The weight of his body crushes me, and I’m gasping, the stench of his musk cologne mixing with my terror. The taste of blood bursts through my mouth, tears and snot dripping past my lips.

“Please. Please. Please!” My sobs are violent. Desperate. It fucking hurts. Everything hurts.

He squeezes his hands into my waist, tighter and tighter until I’m sure my bones will break. It’s like I have no control over my body, squirming, thrashing, screaming even though I know it’s no use. Nothing can stop this. Nothing.

“That’s it, birdie. Keep begging.” Nunzio’s laughter rings in the air like a demon dancing in a thunderstorm, taunting me as I scream for mercy.

“God, no! Please stop!” My screams slice up my throat like razor blades, and I start to gag when I feel him at my entrance, my stomach lurching up my throat, choking me.

He moves.

I clench my eyes shut.

And I die.
