Demonic Desires
Chapter 4
Classes
She felt her stomach contract into a tight ball of anxiety as she watched her new Master reach into his loosely draped cloak, retrieving his purse. She listened as the unmistakable sound of coins clinked together as he reached inside, withdrawing a handful of shining coins and paid every last yen he had promised. Her brow furrowed even further as she felt her disquiet grow. The reason for her increasing nervousness was simple. Her Master was an extremely powerful being, that much she could tell for herself. If she had to hazard a guess, she’d have to say that he was probably even more powerful than her maker. That in itself was enough to give her pause and curb her normally impetuous tongue. But what she feared even more was the fact was that her new Master had yet to say a single word to her. He hadn’t spoken to her…not one word…no questions, no command', no probing. Nothing. It gave new meaning to eerie.
Shivering with a sudden chill, she shifted her gaze back and forth between the two men she found herself sandwiched between. She bit her lip, feeling her palms grow clammy, and resisted the temptation to squirm. She refused to lose what little dignity she’d maintained thus far, no matter how uncomfortable they were making her feel. It was difficult, however, considering she was still naked. She glanced up at the taller of the two Lords, the one who had made the actual bid of 100, 000 yen for her, and shivered again. His displeasure was clearly shown in his narrowed brown eyes and the obstinate set to his jaw. She dropped her gaze immediately when his probing gaze, the hostility clear in his set expression. “What a fuckin’ waste of money.” He said loudly, causing a hot flush of embarrassment to creep up her throat into her face. “Shit. A hundred grand?! Ain’t that a bit much for one scrawny slave?” At a coldly direct look from the smaller man, he took on the look of someone who’d just swallowed something distasteful. He shoved his hands into his pockets and shuffled his feet, glaring down at the floor. “Whatever. I still say it was pointless.”
After the coins had been counted and the receipt of purchase was handed over, the three suddenly found themselves alone in the small, cramped office they’d been led to after the end of the sale. She heaved a soft sigh as she tried to sneak a glance at the man she assumed was her new master, the man who was called Lord Battousai. She watched him through narrowed eyes and tilted her head to the side when he closed his eyes. What came next was definitely not what she’d been expecting and she nearly jumped out of her skin at the sudden sound of his voice breaking the silence that had fallen over the office. "You are of Aoshi's making?" She shivered when his low, husky voice caressed her. It was a sinfully sultry sound and she briefly closed her eyes as she dwelled on the way it seemed to echo in her mind.
“Aw fuck! You mean we spent a hundred grand cleanin’ up his mistakes again?” She flinched at the loud and obviously angry outburst.
“Sano.” The reprimand was clear in the velvety tones and she was shocked to see the taller man, now identified as Sano, look suitably chastised as he muttered an unintelligible apology under his breath. She stared at the quiet man with wide eyes, wondering if maybe her maker had commanded these two to collect her in his stead. A small half smile curved his sensual lips upwards. “No, sweet raven. If anyone would be commanding between us, it would be I.” His eyes opened and fixed her with an intense and smoldering amber stare. “Now answer.”
She licked her suddenly dry lips anied ied to swallow passed the lump that had formed in her throat. Trying not to let her anxiety escalate into panic, she closed her hands into fists at her sides and bowed her head meekly. “Y-yes, I am.” She peeked at him from behind the safety of the dark concealing curtain of her hair. “I-I meant no disrespect, Master.” She sighed inwardly, her eyes flashing with momentary anger. Damn it! Why do I have to sound so blasted meek?
A brief flicker of amusement lightened Battousai’s golden eyes before he closed them again to toss his flaming hair back over his shoulder. “And what do you know of your class?” He leaned back against the desk, folding his arms across his chest, and tilted his head back, face up to the ceiling as he awaited her reply.
He’s testing me. She thought nervously. He’s testing my knowledge of his culture and ways. She drew in a shallow breath, hoping that she wouldn’t somehow offend him. She closed her eyes and drew in a deep, calming breath as she fought the swirling emotions that were rising within her, threatening to drown her in a sea of regret. She would not regret her actions…she refused to! “I was bitten and not allowed to drink from my maker…” She began in a low, strained voice, hands clasping into white-knuckled fists as she tried to ignore the fact that she was still naked as the day she was born. “This classed me in the common whore section of your world.” She couldn’t quite hide the bitterness in her tone as he lowered his gaze to her again. “I am nothing but a false creature, an embarrassment to your race.” She lifted her chin and boldly met his gaze directly. “However, becoming a slave has saved me somehow.”
Sudden pleasure lit the honeyed depths of his eyes but when she blinked it was gone. “And your feelings towards your maker now, my raven?” He fixed her with a penetrating stare giving her the impression that he could see to the very depths of her soul in that one glance. Lying wasn’t an option, not when he was looking at her with such intensity.
Nearly choking on the words, she forced them out passed clenched teeth. “My heart stopped beating for him once he drank from my neck.” She tore her gaze away and stared at her bare feet. “However…my mind still calls for him.” She finished in a barely audible hoarse whisper. Oh how she wished it weren’t true, but it was. She didn’t want to yearn for him, not now, not when all was lost and there was no hope for a future. Her heart ached at the unfairness of it all. In order to be free, she was now shackled irrevocably for an indefinite eternity.
He came to her, . St. Steps slow, deliberate, silent. He moved with fluid cat-like grace, confidence radiating outwards from his compact frame, amber eyes direct and filled with an intensity that left her feeling weak and short of breath. He stared straight into her own green eyes, forcibly maintaining eye contact with the power of his will. “He has soiled you.” His husky tones washed over her, soothing her, yet at the same time put her on edge, her pulse racing as her breath caught in her throat. “Your body is filthy from the dirt you have been dragged through.” He reached out and touched the pads of his fingers briefly against her cheek. She felt almost as if she’d been burned by the brief contact. “Your name has been spoiled for any proper title due to a daughter of your house.” He stepped back, allowing his hand to fall to his side, and shook his head with a soft sigh. “Once again I must clean up a mess created by his need to be near humanity.”
”I hate to intrude on such a touchin’ moment, but don’t you think we should find her somethin’ to wear? I mean, I don’t know ‘bout you, but I’ve seen more than enough of her bony ass to do me for the next century at least.” She scowled irritably in Sano’s direction, thinking that he’d look much better at the moment with her fist firmly planted in his foul mouth. She decided right then that she didn’t like him.
Allowing a tight smile to grace his features, Battousai nodded slowly. “Quite right, Sano.” He turned his eerie golden gaze on him and pinned him with a cold look. “Give her your cloak.”
“What?” He stared at him with incredulity. “B-but…it’s freezin’ out there!”
“My point exactly.” He turned away from the taller man, fully expecting his command to be obeyed and fixed another direct gaze on the young woman shivering before him. “Your name, sweet raven?”
Anger, rudeness, even indifference she could manage, but this gentle tone, such unexpected kindness, it was too much for her to bear. Tears filled her eyes and spilled over, the first since her ordeal had begun. “Misao, my Master.” She whispered brokenly, cursing her inability to remain controlled and emotionless when she needed the cold detachment the most. Through her tear-blurred vision she saw Sano hand his cloak to her new Master. She closed her eyes, spilling more tears down her pale cheeks. Her breath caught in her throat when she felt a gentle touch, feather soft, against her shoulders followed immediately by the warm weight of the taller man’s heavy cloak. The soft touch moved to her face, brushing tenderly against the moisture trickling down to drip off her chin.
She felt him lean closer, his breath fanning against her cheek, ruffling the tendrils of dark hair falling unbound passed her shoulders. “Your path?” He breathed against her ear, his fingers gently wiping the tears from her cheeks. Unconsciously she leaned into his touch briefly before tilting her head back, opening her eyes to meet her Master’s soft amber gaze.
“W-wait!” She blinked and turned her gaze towards the other man in the small, cramped office. “Holy shit! You’re gonna bind her?! A mere slave?” His voice rose several octaves as he gave voice to his near hysterical indignation. “You’ve gone crazy…that has to be it. You’re fuckin’ insane, old man!” He threw his hands up and spun away to pace around the room with impatient strides.
Battousai glared at the taller man for a moment, a look that he hoped would mask his true intentions regarding the young woman standing before him. He allowed a small amount of his immense power to leak through, to nudge against his taller companion to cover the slight power surge he felt in his newly acquired slave. It was a power Sano had never had the pleasure…or was it displeaure?…of feeling. After all, her blood could be poison.
She watched as her Master’s golden eyes filled with an understanding that she’d never dared to hope any other living being would ever feel for her unique situation. The power within her seemed to rise within her, fighting for freedom. Yet his steady amber gaze held her anchored and gave her the added strength to bank the fires within that fought to be unleashed. She shivered a little under his scrutiny. There was something about the way he was looking at her that made her realize that he knew things about her that he should not…things that made her what she was. sucksucked her lower lip between her teeth and nibbled on it as she narrowed her eyes suspiciously. She hadn’t even known of the power within her until her maker had explained it to her. She winced, the mere thought of her maker and how he’d betrayed her trust enough to cause an almost physical ached deep within her chest. The pain of that betrayal was still too fresh to be thought of objectively.
After the betrayal of her maker, the lies and false promises, she was reluctant to trust so easily again, yet there was nothing but honesty in the golden gaze meeting her own tear-bright green eyes. Of course, she truly had no choice in the matter, he was merely offering her a way to keep at least the shreds of her dignity intact. Drawing in a deep, calming breath she nodded slowly. “Bind me, Master. I wish to know only you and you alone.” For better or worse her path was set, her destiny in this man’s hands. She prayed her new fate wouldn’t destroy her.
A triumphant gleam entered his eyes as he bared his sharp fangs for her to see as he raised her wrist to his mouth. She gasped as she felt the sting of the sharp incisors cut into her flesh. Her eyes slid closed, her lips parting as she fought to draw breath into her lungs, the sensations assaulting her overpowering beyond her wildest imaginings. It felt as if her skin were on fire as he marked her with his house emblem, an ancient symbol declaring her to be his property and under his protection. She felt dizzy, lightheaded, as she realized the enormity of her situation. Aoshi had been the most powerful being she’d ever come across up ‘til now. There was no mistaking the raw power emanating from her new Master, the man whose name was whispereth ath awe and fear…Lord Battousai. There could be no doubt about it…he had to be an Ancient, one of the oldest of his kind. “Tomorrow night, my sweet raven, we shall hunt.” She fought to focus on him again, to understand the words he was speaking. “I shall feed and you shall watch…and learn. There are not many females of our kind that know of the old ways.” She nodded mutely as he paused. “You shall learn it all.” His lips curved upwards into a wicked smile full of untold promises. “You shall please me greatly, I think.” He tilted his head to the side in careful consideration, lips pursed thoughtfully. He hadn’t been mistaken about the extent of the latent power held within her small form, as of yet untapped, untouched and untried. He intended to train her in the ways of their people, to protect her from the dangers of having too much power and not enough control. “You want to please me, do you not, sweet Misao?” She could only nod mutely as she stared up into his handsome features with slightly glazed eyes.
