Chapter 22

22. Counting & Pleasure

YILEYNA

My heart pounded as I stared up at Theon, I could hear the captain shouting orders as we made to set
sail.

His scent filled my senses, and the feel of his hand against my lips felt good.

I tried to pull away from his vicelike grip, yet he didn’t let go. He held me off the ground as I struggled
fruitlessly, poking my eyes out at him. He didn’t say anything, walking down the narrow hall and
stopping outside one of the rooms.

“Do not make a sound.” He warned, his deep sexy voice making my stomach flutter like always, his
eyes blazing gold in silent warning. I nodded and he slowly removed his hand from my mouth. My heart
was racing as he slipped a key from his pocket and unlocked the door, still not letting go of me until we
were inside and he pushed the door shut, locking it.

“And to what do I owe the pleasure of being dragged into a room so unceremoniously?” I asked,
narrowing my eyes, trying to yank free from his hold, but instead, he slammed me up against the door.

“I don’t intend to make it pleasurable. What were you doing out there?” I smirked. So there we had it.
Did Theon really not realise how possessive he was behaving? “He was handsome. You know, I was
thinking over what you said, and maybe you were right… one night was what you wanted. I think
there’s plenty of – Ouch!” I gasped when he threaded his fingers in my hair, yanking my head back. “So
you were doing it to get a reaction from me… Guess what? You’re getting it.”

His hand closed around my neck, his arm pressing against my breasts and my core knotted.



“Good.” I whispered seductively. “I’ve made up my mind; I’m not backing out, I want this, even if it’s just
physical…”

His eyes flickered gold, his heart thudding, his gaze dipped to my lips and then back to my eyes.

“Oh?” His arm loosened around my waist, running down my back until it rested on my ass.” Then I
hope you’re ready for your punishment.” He growled huskily.

“I wouldn’t-”

“Theon?” Ryan’s voice came from outside, making me tense. Theon squeezed my ass, his eyes
meeting mine before he let go of me. “What is it?” He asked coldly. “The captain wanted to assess our
first stop and discuss it with you.” “We just talked. He can wait for a while.” Theon replied coldly. “I have
something I need to tend to right now.”

“Ok, I’ll tell him.” Ryan’s voice came before I heard his footsteps retreat. “Tend to what?” I asked,
feeling the slight sway of the ship beneath my feet. “Your punishment, little storm. Strip.” He
commanded, making my heart thud.

“What? Now?” I asked, my cheeks heating up.

Theon smirked, backing away until he reached the bed and sat down, resting his hands behind him, his
gaze on me as I stood there, my heart hammering.

I slowly took my jacket off, watching him, his eyes were on my breasts as I slowly dropped my jacket to
the ground and reached for the button on my pants.

“Come here.”

My heart pounded as I walked towards him, stopping in front of him.



“Turn and pants down.”

I turned slowly, knowing my ass was right in front of his face as I slowly lowered my pants. I had just
gotten them to my thighs when he stood up and grabbed my hair, pushing me down against the chest
of drawers that was bolted to the wall next to the bed. I gasped as he buried his nose in my neck.

“Bad girls get punished. Spread those legs for me.”

My stomach knotted as I braced my forearms against the drawer, my hands spread palm down on the
smooth wood as I parted my legs, well, as much as my pants that were between my knees allowed me
to do so.

I didn’t know what was going to come, but the excitement inside of me was already heightening “Then
punish me.” I whispered, looking at him over my shoulder.

He yanked me back by my hair and I tilted my head up, wanting him to kiss me, but he simply smirked
slightly.

“This is a punishment, little storm.” He pushed me forward on the chest of drawers, I could feel the heat
of his body behind me, smell my arousal in the air… “You really are remarkably made…”

My eyes fluttered shut as his fingers ran over my ass cheeks, I had worn tiny panties that were
swallowed up by my ass and I knew they were already on the verge of getting damp. “Flawless…” He
murmured, just as his hand met my ass in a sharp slap. My eyes flew open, as the sting of pain shot
through me. “Count.” He commanded coldly. “One…” I mumbled, my cheeks burning as he palmed my
ass where he had just spanked me. Another sharp tap made me jolt, pain shooting through me and
making my core throb. “Two.” I whispered. The sensation was different… His hand met my ass again
and I whimpered as I counted. “Will you continue to misbehave, little storm?” He whispered, his lips
grazing my ear.



“L..fuck!” I gasped when his hand met my ass again.

My core throbbed and I didn’t understand, how was this turning me on?

“Keep counting.”

Another sharp tap and then he massaged my ass, making me moan, giving temporary relief to my sore
behind. His fingers brushing between my ass and all I wanted was him to touch my pussy. “Seems like
you’re enjoying this, it’s a punishment, remember?”

Another slap and I was unable to stop the wanton moan that escaped me.

“Fuck, Theon…”

“Wrong. You’re counting, remember?”

“Seven.” I whispered as his hand met my ass again, his fingers rubbed my soaking panties and I closed
my eyes, wriggling my ass. He continued, each slap that met my ass stung, yet it was accompanied by
a deep, delicious round of pleasure that was making my pussy drip. “Fifteen…” I moaned, my legs were
weak and I felt like I was going to come at any moment.” Don’t stop…” “What’s wrong… turned on?” He
whispered, massaging my stinging behind. “You’re soaking, I’m sure if you don’t wash up, everyone on
this ship will know what a fucking dirty little whore you are.” 1

“You’re turned on too.” I whispered, reaching behind me and managing to brush my fingers along his
hard shaft, smirking with satisfaction when he grabbed my arm, twisting it behind my back. “And I’m not
that turned on.” I added, biting my lip, when he ran his finger between my thighs, sending sizzling rivers
of pleasure to my core.

“Your body says otherwise…” He whispered at the same time he shoved two fingers into my dripping
core, making me cry out. His other hand clamped over my mouth as he began fucking me with his



fingers.

Pleasure rocked my body and my core knotted feeling my orgasm rising. It hurt a little, but it was
nothing like when he fucked me. This was so enjoyable…

“Fuck.” I whimpered, groaning loudly when his lips met my neck, sucking hard.

He let go of my arm, reaching around and grabbing my breast roughly. “I’m coming.” I whimpered,
doing my best to keep my voice down.

“Who said you could come?” His seductive sinful voice came in my ear and before I could even
comprehend what was happening, he slid his fingers out, leaving me empty and aching for a release. I
turned sharply, my eyes meeting his as he raised the two fingers that had been inside of me moments
earlier to his lips and slowly ran his tongue along them, his eyes not leaving mine as he tasted me on
them, making my pussy clench.

Fuck that was hot…

“Delicious, don’t you agree?” He gripped my throat and slipped the same two fingers into my mouth,
making me moan softly, “Taste yourself…”

I wrapped my lips around his fingers, swirling my tongue along his fingers, tasting myself on him. My
cheeks burned and my core knotted as his eyes darkened, and I knew the same thought was going
through his head that was going through mine.

How would it feel to have his cock in my mouth…

He slipped his fingers from my mouth and despite the fact I wanted to kiss him, he simply turned away
and walked to the small door that led off from his room. He paused at the door and looked back at me,
once again that coldness returning.



“Make sure you do not touch yourself. From this day on, you come when I say you can.” With that, he
shut the door and I rolled my eyes, slumping back against the chest of drawers. My entire body felt
extra sensitive, and he had left me unsatisfied.

1 slowly pulled my pants up, knowing I would need to go to my cabin and clean up. I pulled my jacket
on, fixing my clothes. I unlocked the door and peered out before I hurried down the hall, I had the room
on the other side of Charlene, who was right next to Theon’s. Goddess what if she heard something? I
had to be careful.

Darkness shrouded the starless skies, and the weather had become extremely cold. Night had fallen
not long ago and several of us were on deck. The crew were sitting and laughing as they played a
game of cards. Two of Charlene’s guards, Bruce and Valentin, had joined in whilst Nate and Patrick
were stood not far from where Charlene and I were standing, holding large mugs of coffee. A blanket
draped over our shoulders, even for werewolves, it was extremely cold.

Theon was at the bow of the ship alongside Flynn, Raiden and Ryan, all four of them discussing
something that I couldn’t hear from here as the wind was carrying their voices away from us. Plus, they
were speaking very quietly. Theon… I hadn’t spoken a word to him since what had happened in his
room, but I couldn’t help feeling the excitement simmering inside of me. Theon opened the doors to
something more, something where I didn’t know what to expect next and I liked it.

I’d had to wear a scarf around my neck after I had cleaned up, not wanting anyone to see the marks he
had left.

I rested my head on Charlene’s shoulder, her head rested on top of mine. I felt guilty not telling her… I
wanted to tell her… “What’s wrong, you’ve been quiet?” I asked her, staring at the group on the far side
who were drinking beer and playing their game. “I’m scared.” She whispered so quietly, even the
guards standing a few feet away wouldn’t be able to hear us thanks to the rowdy group opposite. “You
know father expects me to awaken this power… I’m scared I’ll fail. Yesterday Theon pushed me off the



cliff but even then, nothing happened and he had to catch me before I cracked open my skull. I’m
scared I’m just normal.”

I looked up at her, my heart aching for her.

“Don’t say that, my queen, you are not normal – power or not. You are a queen, our queen, the future
Alpha queen, always remember that.” I whispered looking into her green eyes.

She smiled and nodded.

“You always have faith in me.”

“If not I then who else?” I said smiling, when suddenly an odd sense of unease filled me, and I felt the
hair at the back of my neck stand up.

“Well, that’s true, you are my queen too…”

I turned sharply to the water, Charlene’s voice fading into the distance as I stared at the water that
looked black. My heart thudding as I stared into the abyss. My heart pounded as I stared at the ripples,
the urge to lean over and touch the black liquid overpowering me.

A whisper of the wind brushed through my hair, and I felt the blanket slide from my shoulders as I
leaned over the edge, staring deep into the bottomless sea…
