"It'll help if you have something to eat," I say, if only because I know what I'm going to do to her after this is over.
She needs some sustenance in her if she wants to survive all my cruel desires. Spoonful by spoonful, I feed her the warm soup and she swallows reluctantly. She's probably only doing it because she knows I'll take it out on her even more if she doesn't obey, but it's good enough for me. In silence, she finishes the rest of the soup.
Once we're done, I set away the platter and watch her closely, trying to find any sign of her finally bending the knee to me. But she's quiet.
It's probably a silent way of telling me she'll never obey me, even though we both know that's not true.
By now, I realize Tallulah is a fighter, but she's losing this fight.
She's not going to stop trying to survive in this cruel cartel world. until the very last breath she takes.
"Where's all your assassin training now, Tallulah?" I ask her. "I thought you'd be better at handling this stuff. It's so simple. But it seems you're just a broken little girl after all."
Her mouth sets in a thin line and she refuses to answer me. I start getting angry then, because the constant disregard for what I'm telling her is pissing me off.
If she knew it was me, she would never act as disobediently. But I can't break Tallulah now. I have to keep pretending I'm Xander, and make sure she falls right back into my arms where she belongs.
"You should start speaking sooner rather than later," I tell her next. "It's only going to get easier for you if you share your thoughts and feelings with me. What's the point of staying quiet? You could make your situation so much better if only you spoke a few words to me. Why are you so against letting me in, Tallulah?"
"Because you're the devil," she spits out.
"I'm the devil?" I smirk. "I think you got it all wrong. My brother's the devil and you fell right into his arms. You followed him to the depths of hell. And you submit it to him, even though you knew what kind of person he was. Now it's time for all that to change. But more importantly, I want to know... are you feeling anything different in your body? Do you think you're pregnant yet?"
I can just imagine the look of disgust on her face as she glares at me, but of course I can't see it over the blindfold. Once again, she refuses to answer, wiggling away from me on the bed and trying to get as far away as possible. This angers me even more.
I wrap my fingers around her thin ankle and pull her against me.
"You can't get rid of me," I tell her. "You'll never get rid of me. And I won't let you crawl away or escape ever again. No, you're my toy now, not my brothers. And I'll do everything in my power to shift your loyalties from him to me. I'll never let you fuck him again. Understand?"
"No, I don't fucking understand," she hisses. "You raped me. You did it all to hurt Xavier. You're a villain, a rapist."
"That's nothing new for me," I shrug. "It was the same with Ivette. But soon enough, she broke and gave me exactly what I wanted. She even gave me two children. They're so sweet. Maybe someday you'll get to meet them. But before then, you'll have to give me a child of your own."
"You're a monster," she whispers, her voice breaking over the words.
Gone is the girl who was so daring, so brave and so powerful. In her place, a weakened little being remains reminding me with every breath that she's at my mercy.
Just being in contact with her skin is making me excited and I can feel my cock starting to thicken beneath my bands, eager to get out. I didn't plan on fucking her right now. But I don't think I have a choice, given all my fucking swelling. I want to be inside her, and I want to show her everything that's wrong with this world, until she begs to go back to me.
Begs for my brother to take her back home to Xavier, without knowing I've been him all along.
"When are you going to take this blindfold off?" she demands.
"Never," I reply firmly. "It stays in place, so you don't know where you are. Until I trust you, you're going to stay exactly like this. It's the same thing I did with Ivette, and I'm not going to change my manners now. You already know I'm a bad man. Why are you finding this so hard? I told you already. You could make things much easier for yourself if only you obeyed."
