Burnt by fire? What does he mean by that? Natalia even though confused, she raised her face proudly, glaring daggers at him. “I believe I have shown you the vast difference in our strength, I would hate to have a repeat.” Even though his voice held no threat, the seriousness remained. “But if you force my hand, I wouldn’t have an option but to show you.”
“Show me what?” She retorted sharply.
He leaned in grabbing her cheeks roughly, squeezing them in, for some reason, Natalia was unable to struggle with him, she remained dangerously still with her eyes locked on his.
As if she was waiting for his next move.
“Show you the reason everyone calls me a blood sucking demon,” His eyes narrowed, the skin of her cheeks from where he was grabbing had reddened, he could probably snap her skull in half if he applied more pressure. Her breathing was soft against the skin of his hands, and for some reason his heartbeat seemed to increase.
His lower lip twisted into a mocking smirk, mockery that was directed to himself, because he was getting excited just by the sound of a woman’s breathing? It would seem his infatuation is something more than he thought. At this point, it was dangerous.
This girl is dangerous.
A small moan was muffled against his hands when he applied a little more pressure to her cheeks, and Natalia’s breathing became ragged, and troubled. Her chest heaving dangerously, her fear of him was so thick he could taste it, and he seemed to derive pleasure from the way she reacted against him.
And for some reason he wanted more… he wanted to lean in and find out for himself what her flesh tasted like, the skin of her voluptuous red lips that was pressed together firmly by his fingers.
He wondered if they would taste like cherries, his eyes flashed as he tried to control the beast that threatened to take over him. He didn’t want to scare her, at least, not yet.
“Let. Me. Go.” She managed to growl between clenched teeth, without being affected he chuckled softly. Realizing he had no intentions of letting her go, and being terrified of the look in his eyes, she grabbed his forearm, trying to pry his hands away from her cheeks.
“Everything will not always go your way princess.” For some reason, for the sake of his ego, he was tempted to show her just how much power he had over her. In an instant, he seized both of her hands that bothered him, locking both her wrists in one of his own hand and raising it above her head; slamming her back into the bed.
A small whimper escaped Natalia’s parted lips, as she struggled to get the huge man away from her, but Azmaveth pressed her even tighter into the mattress. Fear crept into her heart, this position was just too insulting.
And if the emperor wanted to do something like that, it scared her that she would be unable to stop him.
“Let me go,” She commanded again, her voice gave out her fear this time, and he smirked in satisfaction.

“You might get what you are wishing for, if you just begged.” He advised and the princess ignored his advice and struggled even more. “If you don’t you might end up breaking your bones instead.”
“Let me go!” She threw her legs, hoping to push him off with her hips, he got on the bed, grabbing her shoulders positioning her underneath him, straddling her and resting the weight of his body against her.
Natalia shuddered, unable to catch her breath, he was too close, and this position was too provocative.
“You might want to do as you are told or I will break your bones…” He growled, increasing the pressure in her wrist, and a small scream escaped her parted lips. He was not joking, she felt an unimaginable pain searing through her wrist and she was convinced that if she didn’t do as she was ordered, he wouldn’t mind breaking
her wrists.
She clenched her teeth trying to bear the pain, Azmaveth tightened his grip, pressing his thumb against the gap between her wrists, delivering a more painful sensation.
“Please!” She yelled, and then bit down on her lips, sweat pooling from her forehead, and tears stinging in her eyes. “I beg you, let me go.”
He stopped applying pressure on her wrist but didn’t let her go, his other hands trailed her face gently.
“Now, was that so hard?” He drawled mockingly, and Natalia felt her face became red and sore, “All you have to do is stay here and be obedient and
you won’t
get hurt.”
He muttered, eyes still locked on hers.
“Do you understand?”
Natalia nodded softly, and only then did he unhand her. Natalia scrambled up, clutching her wrists to her chest as she created space between him, moving backwards until her back hit the head board. But he ignored her.
“Is anyone out there?” He called in a loud voice and almost immediately, Darkorta ran inside, her eyes remained glue to the ground as she stood before the emperor.
“Yes, Your Majesty!” The girl shivered, her gaze remained on her feet.
“Bring the queen something to eat.” He ordered and almost instantly the girl fled the room, after yelling a panicked “Yes, Sire!”
Natalia sat up, staring down at her wrists, rubbing down at the soreness of it, it had reddened the emperor had left his prints.
“Consider that a warning,” He muttered proudly as he stalked to the table in the room, he sat down the head. “I won’t be as lenient next time.”
His voice was loud and clear, Natalia was scared, because if this man wanted to hurt her, he didn’t even need to use too much of his endless supply of strength.
She felt it when he had rendered her incapable of moving, her breath shook as she stared at the man who stared back at her dangerously.

“Come here.” He ordered, Natalia paused for a while, still in shock, but her legs stumbled towards him on their own accord. Scared that any refusal would make him hurt her even more.
