Chapter 4
After an exhausting few hours they finally left. Crystal was chatting nonstop all the way back. Alec was accompanying them this time. Carlos sat quietly. Miranda sensed the tension radiating from Alec and was starting to feel anxious.
When inside the manor Crystal kicked off her shoes and flopped on the lounge. Miranda decided to go to her room believing it was in her best interest to get out of Alec's way. "Thank you all for a lovely evening, goodnight," she turned to make her way up the stairs.
"Where the fuck do you think you’re going?" Alec's voices made Miranda jump.
"I'm... Um, I'm going to my room..." Swallowing hard Miranda felt suddenly like she was going to be sick. Alec walked towards her looking like a predator stalking his prey. Without any warning Alec hit her across her cheek so hard with the back of his hand, she fell hard on the floor.
Miranda was dazed her face stung so badly and her head was throbbing. She thought she heard Crystal let out a gasp. "Get up.” Alec’s voice was deadly calm. Slowly Miranda lifted herself and stood using the railings on the stairs to steady herself. Again without warning he hit her across the same cheek sending her to the floor again. Miranda let her tears fall. She was trying really hard not to sob.
"Get up," he ordered again. Alec watched Miranda struggle to her feet. He was in such a rage that he wanted to fucking make her pay. Fucking Ethan had his hands on her! "GET THE FUCK UP!" He yelled. Needing to punish her so bad for making him feel like this.
Crystal was suddenly in front of him, "Alec calm down she's had enough," he was so fucking angry he wanted Crystal out of his way. "This isn't your concern Crystal. Get out of my way," he needed to appease his monster and Crystal was in the way.
"Alec enough! What did she do that was so bad?" She asked.
Miranda was standing trying to regain her composure. What did she do? Honestly she couldn't think of anything, she had thought she had been extremely well behaved. "Do? She was all but fucking Ethan!" He yelled. What? That's what this was about?
"Miranda honey go to your room. Carlos how about you escort her." Crystal suggested. Carlos quickly grabbed Miranda after giving Alec a what the fuck was that look.
Miranda entered her room and ran straight to the bathroom locking it and not saying a word to Carlos. She sunk on the tiles and wept to her hearts content. Why was everything in her life so complicated? She touched her cheek and winced from the pain. Lucky for her she didn't lose any teeth. Alec had scared the hell out of her. What was it about her that bought out the worst in him?
After she felt her body ache Miranda stood and threw her clothes off. She never wanted to see them again. Turning on the shower she allowed the heat of the water to almost scald her skin. Anything to forget this evening.
***
Alec was drinking his scotch when Crystal entered. She'd had a shower and was wearing a long bathrobe that was too big for her. She walked over to Alec and sat in his lap. She took the scotch from his hands and kissed him deeply. Using her tongue she worked his mouth. Alec kissed her back not roughly like he wanted to do with Miranda. He slowly broke the kiss. "Not tonight," he said. No, tonight he was too worked up over Miranda and Ethan. His head was all over the place.
"What is happening to you baby? You really lost it today. I mean I've never known you to strike a woman before. And I've never seen you lose your temper over something like this."
Alec ran his hand through his hair. "It's nothing," he said. All the while wanting to go to Miranda and fuck the hell out of her.
"Alec is it that Ethan is annoying you or that you are actually developing feelings for her?" This made Alec look into Crystal’s eyes and give a halfhearted grin.
"Jealousy doesn't become you Crystal," he teased. "Anyway you and I have always had an open relationship so it shouldn't bother you"
"Alec I know you fuck whoever you want. It's never really bothered me before. I mean I do the same, but this here with you and Miranda seems a little different. Why would it bother you if she and Ethan had a fling?" She asked. Alec clenched his jaw and moved Crystal away from his lap. He stood and started pacing the room.
"I'll fucking murder her if she goes near him again!" He was getting angry again just thinking of Ethan with his hands around her. "I'll fucking cut his dick off and watch him eat it."
"Alec this obsession with her is not normal baby, she's just a kid. I mean has she given you any indication that she reciprocates the feelings for you?"
"It's beyond my control. These urges I have this darkness she brings out in me not allowing me to contain my obsession. I have to figure out what to do with her."
"Be careful Alec if you break her then Marcus will not pay you a dime."
"I don't want the money Crystal. It's gone beyond that now. I'm going to keep her until I can overcome this obsession. That's the only way." He was going to have her in every possible sense. Maybe then he would be able let her go... He hoped.
Miranda had cried herself to sleep. After her shower she put on a cotton nightie and went straight to her bed where she continued to cry at the events that had occurred. She slept hiccupping. She awoke sometime later looking around. It was still very dark outside. Turning she noticed somebody sitting on the chair. Her heart almost stopped. After her eyes had adjusted to the darkness Miranda recognized him. It was Alec. He was sitting almost statue like. Miranda turned on her lamp and sat up.
Alec watched the hazel eyed beauty sit up and adjust herself. She hadn't spoken just looked at him with her hypnotic eyes. Alec couldn't sleep. All he could do was think of Miranda.
Miranda was so shocked to see him that she just stared. He was topless and she noticed the eagle tattoo that ran from his neck to the side of his stomach and around to his lower back. He looked like a god. His hair was messed and she watched the way he ran his hand through his hair.
The moment Alec stood walking towards her, Miranda instinctively moved to the other side. He shook his head looking dangerous. "Don't do that kid," she froze at the sound of his voice. He sat with his back leaning on the bed frame. He grabbed her waist and moved her beside him. Miranda forgot to breathe. He gently stroked the check he had struck earlier. Miranda couldn't help it, she broke down and cried. He was soothing her, "Shhhh kid," he whispered while he caressed her face and her hair.
Cupping her face Alec pulled her up gently and kissed her so softly. Miranda was coming undone. He kissed her until she responded and then he seductively manipulated his tongue into her mouth. She was so lost in his embrace and by his kiss she never noticed his hand under her nightie lifting it up and over her until she wore nothing but lace shorts that didn't leave much to the imagination.
Suddenly feeling very exposed Miranda tensed up. How did this happen? How did they get this far? "Shhhh relax kid I just want to touch you... I need to fucking touch you." Grabbing her waist again Alec flipped her over until she was on her stomach. He grabbed both her arms and held them securely above her head. "Don't move your hands," he growled. He was moving her hair away from her face. He nuzzled her ears and slowly bought his lips to the side of her neck. His hands following his mouth. He continued to kiss her shoulders and her back continuing lower and lower.
Confused with her body's reaction to this sweet onslaught Miranda didn't know what to do. This was the man who had beaten her and punished her and scared the hell out of her. He was creating senses that she didn't know she had. When his hands reached her lace shorts and he put his hands down her panties, Miranda instinctively jumped.
He bit her cheek. "Don't fucking move," he growled. "Hands above your head," he ordered. Oh dear! Oh dear! This was too intense. Her ass hurt where he had nipped her. He removed her shorts slowly taking them down her legs caressing her. He return to her ass and started kneading her cheeks. Miranda wanted to scream and fight him off her but her body was melting under his touch. He kissed her on each side of her ass than slowly opening her up until he could reach her pussy.
He hissed in a breath. Fuck he thought he was going to die, his cock throbbed that much wanting to explode. He rubbed himself while bringing his mouth to taste her pussy. Fuck me he thought, she had the sweetest taste ever. Unique, unlike anything he had ever experienced. And Alec had sure experienced plenty. He continued to lick her and opening her up until his tongue delved inside her folds. He licked and sucked. She started to struggle and tried to move. He bought down his palm so hard and smacked her ass. "Don't fucking move," he repeated. Quickly Miranda resumed her position while he continued to worship her body.
Never in all her life had Miranda ever been touched let alone kissed down there. Her mind was going crazy. Her body wanted to let go so bad. He was taking her somewhere she had never been before. When he licked her clit Miranda gave an unintentional moan. He licked her nub again and again until Miranda thought she was going out of her mind. He then bit her clit and that was it, Miranda's pleasure exploded. She was on a high and her body refused to calm itself. She shivered from the orgasm and when finally returning to her senses felt her face heat up. What the fuck was that?
Alec waited for her orgasm to subside. He turned her over until she was laying on her back. He bought his lips to hers and kissed her roughly. He grabbed her hands and returned them above her head. "They stay there," he warned her while gripping her wrists tight for her to understand the order.
Alec noticed how Miranda was trying to hide her face from him. Trying to cover her face with the nook of her arm. He grabbed her chin and turned her to face him, "You have nowhere to hide kid" he said. "Nowhere to hide from me," and didn't she know it?
Alec moved beside her and leisurely caressed her body. He moved his head to her breast and kissed the light pink nipple. He cupped her breasts and sucked and licked them. He could sense her body working itself towards another orgasm. He smiled while taking a nipple between his teeth and biting it. Miranda hissed and drew a deep breathe. He repeated his attack on her other breast. Alec couldn't take anymore he needed in her and he needed it fast. Nothing was enough when it came to her, he needed everything from her.
Pulling his pants down glad he opted not to wear underpants he released his aching cock. He roughly slammed into her while grabbing her hands that remained atop her head. He slammed again feeling a resistance. She was so fucking tight. Again he thrust so hard that he heard something pop and give way to his huge cock. She was a fucking virgin… He kept fucking her, he heard her cry out a little. Her tears were running down her battered cheeks. He could feel his balls slapping her with every thrust. He couldn't and wouldn't slow down. "Who do you belong to?" He asked through clenched teeth all the while fucking her. He was so elated that she was a virgin that he didn't give a fuck about anything else.
"Who do you belong to?" He repeated, she could feel him tense when she didn't reply.
"You." she replied while chocking back a sob. He continued to impale her roughly, she felt like a machete was slicing her open. "Say it. Say you belong to me," he ordered.
"I belong to you sir," Miranda managed to choke out. His rhythm was getting frantic. He was quickening his pace.
"Again."
"I belong to you sir."
"Again!" he yelled while thrusting into her forcefully.
"I belong to you sir," with that he gave one last thrust and Miranda could feel his cock expand so much, before he spilled his seed deep within her.
He remained inside her until his heart stopped beating frantically. He kissed her mouth before rolling off of her. He bought his arms around her and engulfed her in his embrace. Fuck he had never not used a condom. Why couldn't he think clearly when it came to Miranda? He kissed the top of her head and drifted to sleep.
Miranda lay in his arms so afraid to move. She really wanted to clean herself and remove any traces of him off her. She was sore and devastated at losing her virginity to a man who she feared. Yet why did he affect her like this? She wanted him to hold her and she wanted him die at the same time.
Slowly allowing herself to relax in his arms she finally fell asleep.
Miranda had awoken later than usual. Her whole body was aching and she felt sticky on her legs. Memories of last night flooded her and she felt her face heat up. Oh my! He was still in the bed. Miranda awkwardly tried to move his arm so she can get up without waking him. He finally budged and turned freeing her from his embrace.
Miranda quietly got off the bed and made her way to the bathroom. Her legs were throbbing, her muscles ached all over. She recalled Alec's legs parting her own while he slammed his cock into her. Her legs had never been opened that wide and her muscles were not happy about it at all.
She felt his come on her thighs icky and gooey. She turned on the shower and literally scrubbed herself. Her pussy was so tender it hurt to wash it. How had this happened? Fuck you Marcus! All this because you couldn't control your addiction!
Finishing from the shower and reluctantly turning off the water Miranda dried herself carefully. Wincing from the pain from her whole body. Miranda dressed herself. She looked at herself in the mirror and noticed a big ugly purple bruise on her right cheek. She slowly traced the bruise sucking in a breath at how tender it felt. Her lips felt bruised as well but not from his hands but from Alec's lips. He had kissed her so brutally as if marking her. Or branding her.
Miranda brushed her hair and left it down in hopes of hiding the bruise. She couldn't conceal it with makeup because of how painful it was to touch. Wearing a pair of shorts and a floral singlet Miranda finally found the courage to exit the bathroom.
Alec had left. Maria was busy changing the sheets when she turned to Miranda. "Mr. deAngelo wants you down for breakfast when you’re ready." Maria's face showed no emotion. Not about the bruise on her face or the blood on the bed. Miranda felt herself blush and nodded. She put on sandals and made her way to the man who had stolen everything from her.
Crystal was at the table sipping her coffee and talking casually to Alec. "Good morning," Miranda greeted them softly. She took her seat opposite Crystal and Alec was in his normal position at the head of the table. One girl on either side. "Good morning Miranda I hope you slept well?"
"Fine thank you," she replied to Crystal. Miranda felt her face color and heat up. Alec didn't say much throughout breakfast. He spoke to Carlos who had joined them through the meal about business, the casino and other topics. Miranda couldn't concentrate enough to keep up. Her body ached and she kept replaying the way Alec controlled her body. The way he fucked her. The way he soothed her and held her. Confusion clouded her mind. Miranda couldn't understand the power he held over her. She needed to get away and fast.
Catching him by surprise Miranda turned to Alec and spoke to him. "May I please speak to you in? Um in private... when you get a chance sir?" Alec raised an eyebrow. He was suddenly intrigued. He noticed Crystal paying close attention to them. "Anything wrong?" He asked.
"Just need to talk to you," forcing herself to look at him, trying so hard not to get intimidated.
"After you kid," he stood and pulled out her chair, he gestured her towards his office. "Excuse us," Alec said to Carlos and Crystal.
In his office Miranda was so afraid that she might lose her courage. She took numerous deep breathes calming herself. He entered the office and closed the door. She waited for him as he made his way around the desk and sat back in his leather chair. He looked so powerful. Wearing a fitting black tee shirt with jeans. His arms bulged through the top. "Speak," he ordered.
Miranda blew out a breath. "The thing is um... The thing is that Marcus... Um that Marcus..." This was not going well at all.
"Kid you wanna say something then say it. I don't have all day." Alec just wanted to know what she had to say.
"The thing is that Marcus has used me as a decoy I think. He cares nothing for me really and I think he just wanted you to give him time. He thought by trading me that you would assume that I'm of value to him and you would get off his back, I don’t think he is going to get the money. I mean if he was he would have paid it by now." Miranda felt sick telling him this. But desperate time’s calls for desperate measures and Miranda wanted to desperately get away from Alec.
"Mother fucker!" he yelled banging his fist hard on the desk. Miranda jumped, nearly falling off her chair. "I'm gonna kill that son of a bitch!" He yelled.
"Please sir may I finish?" Miranda's heart was pounding. She needed to sort this out. She wouldn't allow her fear to stand in the way of her freedom.
Alec watched the girl try and summon her courage. He couldn't believe that Marcus the fucker had played him. He didn't like to look like a fool and that's what the fucking dickhead Marcus did, he made him look like a fucking food. "Continue," he ordered Miranda.
"Okay I've been thinking and I will take on his debt as my own. I will get you the money if you'll allow me a time frame. I know Marcus shouldn't have done what he did but if you clear him I will be responsible to return your money." Ok it was said. She watched as Alec leaned back in his chair studying her. He gave that lopsided grin which melted her insides.
"And what makes you think I'm willing to let you go?" He asked. "What if I say I don't want the money? What if I say that you will not be going anywhere?" Miranda looked dumbly at him. This was not happening! This couldn't be happening.
"What? I said I’ll pay you the money. I will sell my house." Then it dawned on her, Alec didn’t care about the money, it was about her staying, being under his total control. “I can't stay here, please I'll do anything," she pleaded through her eyes and her voice. Alec was running his hand through his hair. He seemed to do that a lot when he was frustrated. He didn't like her begging to leave him.
Miranda stood and walked to Alec. Surprising herself as she reached him and dropped to her knees. She wept. "I'm begging you... I'm begging you to let me go home. I swear I'll pay back the money. Please, I can't stay here I just can't stay here." She started weeping uncontrollably. That was it she had nothing left to bargain with. He would strip her soul bare if she remained here.
Alec couldn't handle it anymore she fucking wanted to leave him. And why wouldn't she? Alec thought. He had hurt her, he had raped her, or just taken from her, stole her virginity secretly. Yet just thinking about it stirred his cock. Yes the monster was being fed, and the more he fed his monster the more the monster wanted.
Leaning forward Alec fisted her hair forcing her head up. "You want to leave me? You want to get away?" He asked through clenched teeth. "How about you stay two months locked in your room? For good measure?" Miranda tried to shake her head. She couldn't go through that again. "No? Mmm? You don't like that?" He mocked. "How about I fucking open up the basement and leave you down there, no lights no heating and no fucking bathroom?" He looked furious. He was pulling her hair so hard Miranda could feel her scalp being stretched to its limits.
"That's not what you had in mind kid?" continuing to mock her.
Miranda was defeated. He had the upper hand and yielded all the power. She had nothing now. She needed to find a way to survive this ordeal.
He stood up while still fisting her hair and pulled her up harshly by her hair. Miranda had her hands on his to try to get him to loosen his hold. He shook her by the hair. He bought his face down to hers and spoke. "You aren't going anywhere! And Until I can end this obsession I'm afraid your stuck here," he still gripped her hair and spoke into her ear. "And if you ever speak of leaving again I won't hesitate to introduce you the basement! Are we clear?" He asked. His voice so menacing, so threatening Miranda.
"Yes.” Her voice barely heard. She had no choice but to cede. Way out of her league, how on earth was she going to solve this shit? He released her hair and started to smooth it out. Miranda so confused at his actions, waited for him to finish grooming her.
Alec pulled her into his arms enjoying the scent of her hair. Cherries he thought. "You’re not going anywhere Miranda, not until I'm done with you baby." He heard her crying silently while holding onto his shirt.
