"You won"t get away with this!" I shouted. "My husband will make sure that you and everyone involved will perish!""I don"t care," Nagahito stood up and looked at me with a chilling grin. "What"s important to me is that I get to have a taste of you."
"You animal!"
He laughed. "By the time I"m done with you, you will be nothing but damaged goods to the shogun. I heard he doesn"t like sharing his women. I salivate at the thought of him being heartbroken because his precious wife was touched by someone else!"
"You may succeed but Kaname will never abandon me! We love each other!" I shouted the last four words, not letting him sense any fear in my voice and gain any satisfaction from it.
"Maybe, maybe not," he turned to Ryouta and eyed him with interest. "You look like a fine young man. You will join us in my chambers later."
"What!?" Ryouta looked at me with pleading eyes.
I closed mine and shook my head in defeat. I wish I have a means to escape but right now, my position as the shogun"s wife didn"t matter. I was held captive and it seemed like I have no choice but to pray that my husband finds us soon.
"She won"t be able to save you. Nothing will," Nagahito said as if it was absolute.
If looks could kill, he"s probably been chopped to pieces and beyond recognizing now. He grinned at me then ordered Saru to escort me to a bigger house so the two females from earlier could bathe me. Behind me, I heard the young guard"s screams of protests as two of Nagahito"s men dragged him out of the hut.
As soon as they saw me, the two women brought me to the house"s bathroom, stripped me off my clothing, and scrubbed my body clean. I yelped when they touched my left leg. I saw that it was swollen and bruised. After my bath, I was whisked to a room inside the house where the servants perfumed my entire body and dressed me in an exquisite robe. I tried talking to the women and asked them to help me escape with the promise that the shogun will grant them whatever they wish for but was declined. It turns out that the entire village was under Nagahito"s control. If they disobey him, Saru will kill their children.
"We want to help you, my lady, but the lives of our sons and daughters are also at stake," the older of the two women wept.
"Please forgive us," the other one said. "We"ve both lost our husbands when they tried to smuggle us out of the village last night. We do not want to lose our children as well."
Hearing their words, I tried to swallow my increasing panic as I know I need a clear head if I want to escape. Unfortunately, things aren"t looking well as of the moment.
"Where are you, Kaname?" I screamed in my head, my hands balled into fists.
After they were done, I was left alone in the room with a burning brazier and the futon laid out. The scent of the incense was unfamiliar to me, it smelled sickly sweet with a hint of musk. After inhaling its scent for only a few minutes, I was feeling all hot and bothered. I rested on the futon, slightly panting. It was as if the smoke was absorbing my body"s strength and replacing it with a pressing carnal need. Suddenly, the door to the room opened and a freshly bathed Nagahito entered the room.
"So it really works," he said when he saw me lying on the mattress.
"You drugged me, didn"t you?" my words didn"t contain a trace of the venom my accusation would originally have.
"What do you think?" he smirked.
I looked at him and begged him with my eyes to release me but it gave the opposite effect. It seemed to only turn him on. He sat beside me and gave me a warm smile. Slowly, he reached for my obi and started to undress me.
"No," I tried to stop him but my body was not cooperating. My limbs felt heavy and useless.
"You can try to stop me but you won"t succeed, the incense is mixed with an aphrodisiac and sedative that affects only women. Haven"t you noticed? Your strength has left you and you no longer have any control of your body," he said before caressing one of my b.r.e.a.s.t.s. "You really are so beautiful, no wonder the shogun will do anything for you…"
"Please don"t…"
He peeled off my robe and made me sat on his lap. With his arms supporting my back, he started kissing me. I wanted to pull away but the incense drugged my entire system. It was as if I was paralyzed.
When he successfully pried my mouth open, his tongue sought mine and teased it. His kiss was slow and pa.s.sionate, it was as though he was savoring my taste first before devouring me. As I was sitting astride him, I felt his erection near the apex of my thighs. I was mentally repulsed but my body was enjoying it.
Nagahito kissed my jaw, my neck, my chest, then my b.r.e.a.s.t.s. When his mouth began to suck one of my womanly mounds, I involuntarily moaned. This excited him so he carefully laid me down on the futon and continued to play with my b.r.e.a.s.t.s. The incense coupled with his weight left me no room for escape.
"Not only are you beautiful, you taste good as well," he complimented after having his fill of my b.r.e.a.s.t.s. "I have bedded so many women but only you have aroused me this much. I want to take you now but I also want to savor every moment."
When he realized that I was crying, his brows furrowed. He caressed my face before licking the salty tears off my cheeks. "Don"t cry. I promise I will be gentle and we will both enjoy this."
Nagahito spread my legs open and knelt before me. He was still fully clothed but his manhood stood proud and erect underneath his hakama. He lowered his head and continued to violate me…
