The shower's warm water cascaded down, but I felt only ice-cold fear. I sat in the huge bathtub, Adrik positioned directly across from me, his gaze fixed on me like a predator sizing up its prey.

His eyes roamed over my body, lingering on every curve, every contour. I felt exposed, vulnerable.

'You're even more beautiful than I imagined,' he whispered, his voice low and husky.

I tried to shield myself, but Adrik's gaze pierced through my defenses.

'Don't hide from me,' he ordered, his voice firm but laced with menace. 'You'll soon learn to revel in my attention.'

His words sent shivers down my spine.

I felt trapped, alone and defenseless against this monster.

Adrik's eyes seemed to burn with an unholy hunger, his intensity suffocating.

'You're mine now,' he growled, his voice echoing off the marble tiles.

My heart pounded, racing with every passing second

He had forcibly stripped me naked and dragged me to the bathroom, where a filled tub awaited. 'Get in,' he growled, his eyes blazing with intensity. Tears streamed down my face as he grasped my arm, pulling me closer to the tub. I shudder at the memory of his grip, the feel of his eyes on my exposed skin As i gazed at Adrik, his physical perfection undeniable. His chiseled face, sharp jawline, and piercing eyes made him a vision of masculine beauty. The defined V-line of his torso, the ridges of his six-pack, and broad shoulders left no doubt about his exceptional physique.

But despite his stunning appearance, a shiver ran down my spine. There was something unsettling about his intensity, something that made me feel trapped.

He would have effortlessly won over any girl, but not me. I saw beyond the captivating exterior to the darkness lurking within. His eyes, though mesmerizing, seemed to hold a sinister gleam, a hint of possession.

Adrik's gaze met mine, and for an instant, I felt the air thicken with tension. His eyes seemed to bore into my soul, searching for vulnerabilities to exploit."

Adrik's voice dropped to a low growl, his eyes burning with intensity.

'Stop looking at me like that,' he warned, 'or else I might just give in to my craving and have you.'

His words sent shivers down my spine.

I swiftly averted my gaze, but Adrik's voice stopped me cold.

'Don't look away from me,' he snarled, his tone eerily animalistic.

I spun back, startled. His eyes blazed with an unsettling intensity.

'First, you tell me to stop looking at you, and now you're demanding I don't look away?' I asked, confusion and fear mingling.

Adrik's laughter sent shivers down my spine. His eyes gleamed with a predatory intensity.

'You're way too innocent, my love,' he whispered, his voice husky. 'That's why I like you. Your innocence draws me in like a magnet.'

His words made my skin crawl.

'I want to taint you, ruin you, have you,' he continued, his voice dripping with desire. 'I desire you, every part of you.'

I felt trapped, suffocating under his gaze.

'You're scared, aren't you?' Adrik asked, his tone teasing.

I nodded, unable to hide my fear.

Adrik's smile grew.

'Good. Fear excites me.'"

Adrik's gaze lingered on me, his eyes burning with intensity.

'You're mine now,' he repeated, his voice low and husky.

I felt trapped, unable to look away.

'Say it,' he whispered, his breath caressing my skin. 'Say you're mine.'

My lips trembled, but I managed a faint shake of my head.

Adrik's smile twisted.

'You will,' he promised. 'You'll beg to be mine.'

Suddenly, he reached out and grasped my wrist, pulling me closer.

The bathroom seemed to shrink, the air thickening with tension.

'Let go,' I pleaded.

Adrik's grip tightened.

'Never,' he growled Bringing my face close to his, he said, 'Kiss me.' My eyes widened as I tried to push myself away from him. He surprisingly let me go.

"'You know? Your mother hasn't had anything to eat for three days now. I plan on starving her to death, but my mind can easily change,' he said, relaxing further into the bath.

"I was beyond paralyzed. Fear gripped me, freezing my thoughts and movements. I stumbled backward, horror etched on my face.

'You monster!' I spat, trying to process his words.

Adrik's smile grew, his eyes glinting with sadistic pleasure.

'Your mother's fate is in your hands,' he said, his voice dripping with malice. 'Kiss me, and I'll let her live... for now.'

My mind reeled, terror gripping my heart.

'No!' I screamed, backing away.

Adrik chuckled, water rippling around him.

'Your mother's life is worth a single kiss, isn't it?' he taunted.

I felt trapped, my choices dwindling.

'Please,' I begged, tears streaming down my face.

Adrik's gaze never wavered.

'Kiss me,' he repeated.

My lips trembled, my heart heavy with fear."

Tears streamed down my face as I stared at Adrik, his expression unyielding.

"'Please,' I begged, my voice trembling.

Adrik's gaze never wavered.

"'Kiss me, and I'll feed your mother,' he said, his voice devoid of emotion.

My heart sank, weighed down by the impossible choice.

I glanced around the bathroom, desperate for an escape or a distraction.

But there was none.

Adrik's eyes seemed to bore into my soul, awaiting my decision. My lips trembled as I leaned in, Adrik's breath mingling with mine.

'No,' I whispered, pulling back.

Adrik's expression darkened.

'You're choosing to let your mother starve?' he asked, his voice laced with malice.

Tears streamed down my face.

'You're a monster,' I spat.

Adrik's smile twisted.

'Perhaps,' he said. 'But I'm the only one who can save her now.'

He paused, water rippling in the bath.

'Last chance,' he warned. 'Kiss me.'"

My heart pounded, fear and desperation clawing at me. I closed my eyes, steeling myself for the inevitable. My lips brushed against Adrik's, a gentle, hesitant touch.

But before I could pull back, Adrik's hands grasped my face, holding me in place.

His lips parted, deepening the kiss. His tongue claimed mine, sending shivers down my spine.

I tried to resist, but Adrik's grip tightened. His kiss consumed me, stealing my breath.

My hands fluttered up, pushing against his chest. But Adrik's arms wrapped around me, pulling me closer. Adrik's lips ravaged mine I twisted my head, desperate to break free. His lips bruised mine, refusing to let go.

The bathroom seemed to spin, my stomach churning with nausea.

Finally, Adrik released me, his chest heaving with excitement.

I stumbled back, gasping for air. My lips throbbed, my skin crawling with disgust. He said, 'Let's get you dressed up for dinner. The longer we take, the longer your mother has to wait.' He continued, still in the bathroom, inside the tub.

I felt a surge of anger and desperation.

How could he be so cruel?
