TREMBLE Read online

  I immediately started to blush.

  Scream it a little louder, Winter.

  Show off how pathetic you are a little more.

  Caden froze, his jaw tight as he glanced at me out of the corner of his perfectly trained green eyes. His chest was rising and falling like a snare drum, slow at first with a heavy build that wouldn’t slow down even when you tried to shake it back down to calmness. I could feel just how ridged he was underneath me as he turned my words over in his mind.

  He was trying to decide if he should believe me or not.

  “Caden,” I whispered.

  “Did you let him touch you?” His body was still worked up.

  “What?” I gasped. “No! God, no!”

  It turned out I didn’t even have to lie. It hadn’t even crossed Caden’s mind that my stepbrothers might be beating the shit out of me. All he cared about was making sure my precious flower was still intact.

  Caden ran his fingers up and down the side of his face a few times before turning back to me and wrapping his hand around my neck. “If I find out you’re lying…” he trailed off, pushing my back against the wall roughly. “I’m going to go on a killing spree so long and brutal you won’t be able to think about anything else for the rest of your life.”

  I half gasped and half moaned as I started shaking underneath him.

  Fuck the wetness that was forming between my legs.

  I was starting to hate my body for having a mind of its own.

  His lips sunk into my neck roughly, sucking a few times before he ran his nose up and down my chin, inhaling every scent of me. “You smell like fear and innocence wrapped up in one sweet little present, my little pet.” He moved his free hand down and pried my legs apart roughly before thrusting his legs between my thighs and slowly running his fingers back and forth over my wet center. He smirked cockily. “And that right there is the fucking bow on top.”

  I moaned loudly at his touch. Caden felt like morphine dripping into my veins tediously and painfully, teasing every part of me until I became his own personal addict. My legs moved into his touch unexpectedly. He had only made the rule about me not touching myself less than four hours ago but it already felt like a lifetime. My body had always had a reaction to him but now that I knew what it felt like to have his hands on me, it was a whole other universe.

  “Yeah, you like that, don’t you, my little pet?” He laughed cruelly. “I knew you would. God, you really are a little freak, aren’t you?” He moved his fingers away from my center, dragging out my torture. “If you’re this needy now and you’ve never even had any cock before I can only imagine how bad it’s going to be once I stretch my tight cunt out with this huge thing, baby.”

  My knuckles clenched and sunk into his ribcage. Was he trying to make me explode in my panties? Just feeling him through the fabric of my clothes was enough to make my body feel like it was in jail with no hope of being released anytime soon. And, God, how it longed to be free.

  “Please,” I found myself begging.

  His finger flicked my pussy once. “Tell me you’re a virgin.”

  I groaned in annoyance at his games. “You know I am.”

  “I didn’t ask what I know,” he said with an edge in his tone. “In fact, I didn’t ask you anything, I told you to tell me that you’re a virgin, Winter.” His dark hair hung effortlessly over his tan forehead, clouding out the top part of his hard and empty eyes.

  “I’m a virgin, Caden,” I said shyly, closing my eyes.

  “Mm,” he inhaled me again. “You’re my virgin.”

  I found my hand drifting toward the back of his neck, running my fingers over the back of his thick hair and clawing my nails into his neck just like I had imagined doing a million times before.

  “Say it,” he scowled. “Now.”

  I don’t know why I tried to hold out when I knew I was going to give in to him, just like I always did. Not telling Caden what he wanted to hear would only cause more trouble for me. Besides that, it wasn’t a lie. Caden Dean did own every part of me. As much as it terrified me, as humiliated as I felt by it, as much as I loathed the wetness he caused between my legs, there it was in black and white. The truth.

  As ugly and dysfunctional and insane as it was, I couldn’t deny it or fight it. It was me who had made the decision all those days ago to make that phone call. It was me who had followed him even when he told me to get away from him. It was me who took each step all the way to the bitter end. I had sealed my fate that night, I knew what Caden would do to me if he ever saw the light of day again. I knew he would make me pay, I knew I would become his property in the dirtiest, darkest ways possible.

  And I had still done it.

  This was on me just as much as it was on him.

  I could feel him gasping for me in anticipation. “Winter.”

  “I-I… I’m your virgin, Caden.”

  He growled in pleasure and then snapped my head back so hard into the wall that I yelped out loudly. “You sure are, pet, you’re my innocent little virgin. You belong to me and I’m going to make your life a fucking hell.”

  Cue the overwhelming shakes of fear.

  He pinched my chin down just far enough that his rough lips were in my vision. “My. Virgin.” He leaned forward and slowly ran his tongue up and down my lips. First, my bottom and then my top, sucking and licking every inch of my pink pillows before he leaned in closer and wrapped my mouth completely in his. Caden’s kiss was hungry and dominate. Almost as if he had been waiting to kiss me as long as I had been waiting to kiss him.

  I knew it was impossible but it made the flutter in my stomach jolt anyway.

  I wish I could have said it was only as good as I had imagined it would be but unfortunately for my obsessive-compulsive nature, it was even better. Kissing Caden Dean was like feeling every ounce of pain I had ever known and every type of high I had ever felt and combining them into one emotion that was too dangerous to ever have a name.

  I knew immediately I would never be the same.

  I gasped when his tongue went further down my throat, taking in every inch of my mouth. I parted my lips as wide as I could, desperate to have every inch of his lips in mine. This is so wrong so why did it feel so good?

  Caden pulled back aggressively, leaving my body in a pool of liquid desire as it collapsed against the wall. His dark eyes traveled up and down my body slowly and he shook his head, struggling to get his heartbeat back to normal. “You shouldn’t have come here,” he told me sternly. “You’ve been a bad girl, Winter.”

  He wasn’t the only one who was having trouble concentrating. “I know,” I gulped. I moved my hands behind my back, desperate to hide how bad they were shaking from the kiss we had just shared. If it had affected Caden anywhere near as much as it had shaken me, he hadn’t shown it. Of course, it hadn’t affected him. It was only my first kiss, not his. Caden had kissed more girls than I could count. The realization made me both angry and sad at the same time.

  “You’re going to have to be punished,” he announced. “Now kneel.”

  Punished? What did he mean punished?

  “Um, punished?”

  “Kneel, pet,” he warned.

  “O-Okay.” I let my legs fall to the ground just like earlier.

  Was he going to blindfold me again?

  Was he going to take my clothes off?

  Oh, God, was he going to see my bruises?

  I wanted him to touch me so bad.

  I hated the overwhelming sense of anxiety that came from being around him. My life was already screwed up enough as it was and just one touch or glance from him and I was already coming further undone. All it would take was one chance, one incident, one second and everything I had been trying desperately to hide for the last six months could come crumbling down around me.

  It wasn’t supposed to be like that, he wasn’t supposed to be out yet. I only had six more months to escape my stepbrothers and stepfather and Caden was threatening all that; Caden with
his possessive and intimidating ability to look through my outer walls and see the truth.

  “Come to me, pet.”

  While I had been lost in my own thoughts Caden had crossed the room and sat down in his desk chair. He was leaning over and resting his large arms on his knees, a determined look in his sharp eyes. I started to rise but he silenced me with one swift nod and a wave of his hand.

  He didn’t want me on my feet.

  He wanted me on all fours.

  I started to crawl toward him and he smirked in approval. “That’s it, crawl to me nice and slow like the bad girl you’ve been.” I could see his cock starting to rise more and more through the fabric of his pants as I got closer and closer to him. He glanced down when I reached his feet and tilted my chin up to face him. “Fuck, you really are completely at my disposal, aren’t you?”

  I could tell the notion turned him on. He loved it, the fact that I had done something so awful to him and now he could make me pay for it as long as he wanted. It was a fucking turn on and the fact that I could understand it made me just as crazy as him.

  Before I could respond his hands were underneath my arms and he was flipping my body over, bending me over his knee so that my ass was straight up in the air and my gaze was locked onto the carpet.

  Oh, my God.

  “What are you doing?” I gasped.

  He started at my ankles and traced his fingers slowly up the back of my legs. “I’m teaching you a lesson, Winter. You didn’t really think you could follow your loser stepbrother here without my permission and not get punished, did you?” He paused at the edge of my thighs, roughly sinking his nails into my flesh. “Don’t be so naïve.”

  I moaned, whether it was in pain or pleasure I wasn’t sure.

  “What are you going to do?”

  He chuckled and moved his fingers further up my skin again, pausing just under my butt cheeks and rubbing back and forth. “I’m going to have to spank you, Pet.”

  “What?” I asked, panicked. “Spank me?”

  He squeezed one of my cheeks roughly. “Uh-huh but not until you say please.”

  Oh, my God. Did he really want me to beg him to spank me?

  That was insane!

  The juices between my legs started to heat up.

  Fuck!

  My mind started racing and I pushed off of him. “I can’t do that!”

  He took my neck back in his grip and shoved me over his knees again. “Let me tell you what’s going to happen here. I’m going to spank your sweet little ass for misbehaving and you’re going to take it like a good girl.”

  I closed my eyes and inhaled deeply.

  I had never thought about doing something like this in my entire life. I didn’t even think people did this kind of thing in real life. It was always something I had read about in books or seen on movie screens.

  But here was Caden Dean in the flesh.

  And he wanted to spank me like the bad girl I was.

  Only I wasn’t a bad girl, I was good. I had spent my whole life trying to follow the rules, trying to stay inside of the lines, and fly under the radar. Until that night, that night had sent an ocean of craziness into motion that I couldn’t seem to crawl my way out of. And each interaction with Caden was sending me further and further into the riptide.

  “Do you hear me, pet?”

  I nodded and moaned slightly. “Okay.”

  “I want you to count out loud.”

  “Count what out loud?”

  His fingers dug into my ass again. “Your spankings.”

  “You want me to count?”

  “Did I fucking stutter?” he snapped.

  “N-no,” I said, stuttering myself.

  “No, sir,” he corrected.

  “Um, what?”

  “Call me sir, pet,” Caden sounded determined.

  He wanted me to call him sir? I wanted to ask him why, I wanted to ask him a million and twelve questions that were running through my mind but I knew better. I could feel his body language underneath me, he was tense and hard. His patience was running thin, I had to know how much I could get away with without making the situation unbearable for myself.

  “Okay, sir.”

  Caden growled. “That’s good, that’s very good.” He pushed his hand between my legs and ran it up and down my wet pussy. “You always were a fast learner, weren’t you, Winter?”

  “Uh, yes. Yes, sir.”

  “Such a clever girl,” he moaned before pulling his hand back and holding it high over my body. “Now say fucking please when you ask me to spank your sweet ass, pet.”

  There was a liquid forming in the pit of my stomach and dripping to the center of my body that I didn’t fully understand. Combined with the burning heat that was causing my thighs to shake dramatically, it was enough to make me question any ounce of sanity I had left.

  “Please, spank me, sir,” I whimpered.

  He pushed his hand back down with a hard smack and I hollered out in shock. “Holy crap!” I clamped my mouth shut, trying to keep myself from saying anything else that would further give away just how insane this whole situation was to me. Caden Dean had just given me a spanking!

  And he hadn’t been gentle either.

  “Count, pet,” he fumed from above me.

  “One, sir.”

  He smacked my ass again, even harder this time.

  My body jolted in reaction and I bit down on my tongue so hard that I was sure I drew blood. What was he doing to me? I knew my butt would be red tomorrow, even through my clothes the force he was delivering on my body was thick and heavy.

  “I’m waiting, Winter. You know I hate that.”

  Oh, right.

  “Two, sir.”

  “There’s my good pet.” He delivered another spanking.

  “Three, sir.”

  Another one came down and this time when he delivered the blow my body jolted back down onto his hardness and I could feel just how worked up the whole scene was making him.

  “Fuck,” I mumbled. “Four, sir.”

  He pulled his hand back and gave me another spanking, rubbing his finger up and down my clit this time when he came back down. I felt him moan in disapproval above me. “Look what you’ve done now,” he accused me. “You’re so fucking wet that you’ve dripped all the way through your panties and shorts, Winter.” He shoved his finger deeper into my center. “You’re fucking nasty.”

  “I-I’m sorry?” It came out as an apology. Partly because I was too turned on to concentrate on anything other than my building orgasm and partly because I wasn’t sure what he wanted from me. My vision and surroundings suddenly felt very hazy, almost as if I was living in an alternate universe.

  “I’ll just bet you are,” he grunted. “Fuck this. You want to cum in your panties like a little slut without my permission, Winter? Then I’m going to show you just what I do with naughty little sluts who don’t know how to obey the rules.” He flipped my body over and stood up, dragging me after him as if I weighed no more than twenty pounds.

  “What?” I squealed in confusion. “Where are we going?”

  I was still trying to make sense of what he had just done to me, spanking me like a piece of property he had to teach a lesson. Him picking me up and moving me wherever he wanted me next wasn’t helping with my disbelief. What the hell was going on inside of that twisted mind of his?

  Caden swung open his closet door and pulled me after him. “Put your hands over your head, pet.” He pushed my body against the back of the wall of the large space, locking me in place. “Now.”

  My eyes grew wide as I looked around the space. It was a walk-in closet, bigger than anything we had in our own house and the walls were decked with hundreds of pieces of clothing, most of which I had never seen Caden wear a day in his life.

  “This is your closet?” I muttered out loud.

  “Pet,” he snapped. “Your hands. Now.”

  “Y-Yes, sir.” I closed my eyes and put my hands above my head,
waiting for whatever was to come next. I felt a cold metal linking my wrists together and glanced upward, fluttering my eyelids into the darkness to make out the shimmer of silver above me. “You’re handcuffing me?” I gasped.

  “That’s right,” he told me, jiggling the shelf above me a few times to make sure it was secure enough to hold me. “If you want to go around not listening to me and getting wet without my permission then I’m going to make you cum just like a good little slut would, tied up and completely at my disposal.”

  “What? Oh, God…”

  “Shut up,” he growled, shoving his hand down the bottom of my shorts and cupping my sex in his grip tightly. “Look at that, fucking soaked, you nasty slut.” He shook his head and pushed my panties to the side. “That pussy feels so fucking clean, Winter. You really are a virgin, aren’t you?”

  I moved my hands back and forth only to be greeted with the pain of metal digging into my skin. “I can’t believe my hands are handcuffed above my head right now,” I mumbled out loud in a half whisper.

  Caden chuckled. “Believe it, baby, and they’re going to stay that way unless you learn to behave yourself.” He pinched my pussy tightly and slid one of his fingers over the entrance. “Now I’m going to finger you until you cum all over my hand like a good little girl, baby.”

  “Oh, God, Caden… I can’t…”

  He pushed one of his fingers all the way inside of me and my center jolted toward his hand without my permission. “Oh, yeah,” he huffed. “You really feel like you can’t, Winter.” He pushed another finger inside of me roughly, spreading my skin even further around his touch.

  My legs lunged further apart and my ankles jolted forward, lifting my body up onto my tippy toes. “Oh, Caden, don’t do that… it’s going to make me cum…” I closed my eyes and started to enjoy the sensation he was having on my body. “Sir,” I whimpered. “Please.”

  Caden pushed another finger inside of me in response. “I want your orgasm, Winter, you hear me? It’s fucking mine.” His fingers picked up the pace, fingering me roughly as he leaned forward and pressed his lips against mine. “Oh, yeah, there you go,” he whispered. “Rock that tight pussy on my fingers like a good girl, pet. That’s nice, that’s really nice.”
