Chapter 1 of OWNED IN THE DARK

CIARA

If I had walked away the first time, none of this would be happening.

But I don't. And now I'm standing here, trapped in something I no longer want.

"You petty, pretentious bastard. You don't get to do this to me," I snarl. "I'm done. We're done. Marry her for all I care, but I'm moving on with my life."

He laughs softly, the sound low and mocking, his eyes meeting mine through the mirror. My back is pressed against his chest, his grip firm on my waist.

"It's way too late now to think of walking away, little Ciara..." he murmurs against my ear. "You had years to walk away but the moment my cock got inside you, your fate was sealed. You don't ever get to walk away from us in this lifetime or the one afterwards. I've tasted you, and I'm never letting you go."

My stomach twists.

I try to remove his hands from my waist as it feels like some hot scorch burning through the fabric I'm wearing.

"Dream on Mathew, I snap, my chest rising and falling sharply. "I made a lapse in judgement but it is not too late...I want out."

"There's never an out between us Ciara, the earlier you get used to it, the better for you."

I try to come up with an argument, but my phone rings. I check the caller, and it's his sister Calista.

I pick up. "Hello?"

"Where are you Ciara? I've looked everywhere for you but I can't find you."

I clear my throat. "Just in the bathroom, I'll be right outside."

"Bathroom? Good.. Tony's on his way to you, he's been very worried about you. You picked a good one, honey. I totally support you choosing him. You should see him now."

Before I'm able to come up with a response, she hangs up giggling.

Then I heard him call my name outside the ladies room "Ciara? Babe are you good?"

I go completely still as Mathew suddenly pulls me even closer to himself and palms my right breast. I struggle to stifle a moan but he refuses to have it as I look up at the mirror in fright to see him smirking.

Mathew is a jerk. And when he smirks it's because he's about to start shit up.

I quickly answer Tony. "Hey Tony...I'm in the ladies I'd be out soon..."

Mathew being the devil he is at that moment tweaks my nipple bud and a moan slips out of my mouth.

"Are you okay Ciara?" I try to answer Tony but I can't even manage a coherent thought as he slips his hands through the slit of my dress and presses into my clit while clamping and tweaking on my nipple bud harshly as pleasure takes over my senses completely

This is not fair, he shouldn't get to do this when he's practically getting engaged to another woman.

I try to bring myself back from the brink of pleasure to snap out of it and push him away but no...my body fails me as I find myself nudging at the bulge in his pant suit, moving my hips in hopes of getting a friction around him. He grunts.

Tony is saying something yet I hear nothing as I feel Matthew unzip himself and slam into me.

I cover my mouth quickly to avoid moaning, then I exhale.

"Stop Mathew...I'm not on the pill and you have no protection."

He thrusts back in and out sharply. "Having your stomach swell with my child will do me such pleasure," he whisper.

He licks my ear while I stare at him through the mirror.

"This is wrong Mathew."

He bruises my waist with his fingers. "What's wrong Ciara is you thinking I'd let you walk off into the sunset with some punkass after loving you for three years."

His thrusts becomes even more urgent as I become a complete mess.

He continued. "What's wrong is you ever even imagining that I'd let you go."

I try so hard to stop him, Lord knows I tried yet it yields to nothing as he ignores me completely and simply hastens his thrusts.

"Your body is mine, your kisses are mine, everything about you is mine absolutely mine," he grunts.

My entire body suddenly pulses with electric urgency as I feel an orgasm coming up. Every protest in me at the moment dies out as he continues fucking my senses out of me as tears of frustration and pleasure attacks me. I clamp my mouth shut to avoid screaming out in pleasure so Tony doesn't hear me.

"Fuck...you feel so good and tight Ciara. I was your first and I'd be your last."

His hand remained on my waist as he completely ignores my cautions, getting vocal about the pleasures he feels

"The world be damned Ciara...you are never leaving me." He grunts as he cums at the same time I do, riding out his orgasm high, totally disregarding poor Tony at the other side of the door.

I push him away.

Without hesitation, I slap him hard. But he simply smiles.

I look away, trying to fix and make myself presentable. "Hey Tony...I'd be right outside."

Before I can make an attempt to leave, he moves closer to me, staring at me with a look of regret.

"I love you Ciara...I'd never marry her," he says.

"But there's so much going on that you have no idea of so, please stop allowing any man into your space. It drives me completely crazy."

He kisses my forehead.

I scoff as I fix my appearance, disentangling myself from him. He tries to go out but I push him backwards and made my way outside.

I find a very concerned looking Tony who has stayed outside no less than thirty minutes worried about me.

I walk toward him, enveloped in guilt. "Hey, Tony. "

He quickly checks me over. "Are you okay?"

I exhale shakily and smile.

Together, we join the engagement party. Throughout the night, Matthew's eyes remain on me irrespective of his fiancée beside him.
