Page 93 of His to Own

My body moves of its own accord and I find myself pressing my stomach into the arm of the couch. My head is hidden in the couch cushion but my backside is on display.

I can feel Maxim behind me. He flips my skirt up and yanks my panties down. I gasp. The sudden gush of arousal hits me like it did before.

Maxim is quiet. And then I feel it. The hard hit of his hand on my backside. I cry out, finally letting myself make noise. Maxim doesn’t show me any mercy as he spanks me again and again and again. Each one hurts more than the last. And each time, I scream. I use my voice. I let out all the pain and shame and fear coursing through me. The release I needed.

As soon as he spanked me, he stops. His hands grip my inner thighs and part my legs. I gasp when his hand cups my entire vulva.

“Did you need this?” he asks, rubbing me back and forth. My hips buck into his hand. “Tell me.”

“Yes,” I gasp and moan and cry all at the same time.

“Then give in to me, Elena. Let me know what’s on your mind. Don’t hide from me.” He rubs me harder and harder and my hips continue to grind down, desperate for his touch.

As he touches me with one hand, his other hand spanks me again. Tears stream down my face while my lower body is on fire. The arousal inside of me is too much to bear. I am going to die. I am dying.

“Oh,” I cry out.

“Tell me.” He spanks me again. His other hand flicks my nub. “Tell me what’s on your mind.” He continues to pleasure me and show me pain over and over again. And I’m powerless to stop it.

“Please,” I sob. “Please.” I’m not sure if I’m asking for him to stop or continue. I just know I need this. All of this.

“Then tell me what has you so upset?”

“You!” I scream. “It’s you!”

He goes still for just a moment before he continues rubbing my pussy. It’s much more aggressive this time. It hurts and feels so good, darkness comes in at the edge of my vision.

I can’t take it anymore. The next time he presses down hard on my nub, I find my release. I cry and sob and moan, letting everything out of me.

Maxim pulls his hand away and fixes my panties and skirt before helping me stand back up. “I upset you?” he asks. “How? I have to admit, Elena. That doesn’t feel good. Normally I’m good at charming women but with you… you’re a mystery to me.”

“That’s the problem. You’ve charmed too many women. You make me want you and yet you keep ruining my life. I hate you for it.” I run past him and to the spare bedroom. I lock the door before Maxim can come inside.

He doesn’t even try. It’s just silence I hear.

My father’s party is filled with his men. People I don’t really know. Nikolai and Lana are here, as is my mother and Adriana. I’m wearing a dark purple evening gown and Maxim is in a black suit. He didn’t give me a compliment. In fact, he hasn’t spoken to me since yesterday.

I still haven’t told him about my suspension from school and Alisa. Every time I try to get the words out, they get caught in my throat.

Neither one of us wants to be at this party and yet, here we are.

My father sneers in our direction and keeps his distance. It’s for the best. I’m not sure I could handle him right now.

Adriana comes over. For once, my baby sister is a welcome relief. “Elena. How have you been? You never come over anymore.”

“Do you really think Father would let me?”

She frowns. “I know he doesn’t like you. But you could still come to see me.”

“I thought you didn’t care about me. We’ve never gotten along. Why would you want to see me?”

“Because it’s boring being in this house with only Father and Mother. I feel like I’m taking crazy pills every day. Lana tries to come over but Father never lets her in the house. I was hoping you’d have better luck.”

“Why would I have a better chance with Father than Lana?’

Adriana shrugs. “Wishful thinking.” Her eyes flick to Maxim. “Have you been treating my sister right? You better not be hurting her.”

Maxim looks amused. “Or you’ll do what?”
