Carlton could say anything.
Carlton sighed deeply and dropped his head back onto the pillow as the bedroom door closed behind Daniel. He was pretty sure he was in The Grand Hotel, Daniel’s territory, but he didn’t have a clue how he was going to get out of there.
And he was pretty sure Daniel had lost his mind if he thought Carlton was just going to stick around and be his little pet. Carlton knew how electuses treated their anamcharas. It was somewhat of a legend in the paranormal world.
Oh sure, he would never want for anything, and his every need would be met, but he would never have any freedom. His every move would be closely monitored, and he would be guarded everywhere he went.
The whole sitting on a pillow at Daniel’s feet was totally out of the question. He was no man’s bitch. And if Daniel expected him to keep his mouth shut all of the time, he could pound sand. Carlton was an alpha. He was used to speaking his mind whenever the hell he felt like it.
No, this whole mating thing between him and Daniel was never going to work, no matter how drawn Carlton was to the handsome man. He couldn’t let his cock make the decisions for him. He needed to use his head.
The only problem was that every time he tried to use his head, all he could think about was how gorgeous Daniel had looked as the man hovered over him, driving his thick cock into Carlton’s virgin ass.
Carlton wiggled when his cock jerked at the image then groaned when the plug in his ass moved, scraping against his sweet spot. Damn, it felt so incredible. Not as incredible as Daniel’s cock, but it was close.
Carlton wiggled again then pushed his ass back against the mattress. The harder he worked, the more he could feel the plug moving around in his ass. He might have been able to get off from that, and he was definitely close, except for the cock ring preventing his orgasm.
Carlton’s frustrated growl filled the room, bouncing off the walls. He couldn’t even jerk himself off. He was so horny he almost wished Daniel would come back into the room and fuck him again.
Almost.
Carlton knew he couldn’t give in to his urges. The more that Daniel controlled him, the harder it would be to escape the man. And escape he would. Carlton wasn’t going to be a pet.
Carlton jerked when the door suddenly opened. His pulse started to pound as panic filled him. He didn’t know the three men coming into the room, and he was unable to protect himself. He was tied down and helpless.
Carlton barred his teeth and growled, his body stiffening at the unspoken threat hanging in the air.
“Oh please,” one of the men said, “that little growl thing might have worked on Daniel, but it doesn’t work on me.”
Carlton didn’t like the glint of hatred he could see shining in the man’s brown eyes. There was something off about him, conniving. And something deep down inside of Carlton told him to be wary. He was looking into the face of his enemy.
“The electus has ordered food be brought to you,” the man said as he set a tray on the nightstand. “Now, you can sit there like a good little boy and let us fix your chains so you can feed yourself, or you can starve to death with food just inches from your face. What’s it going to be?”
Carlton growled again when the second the man stepped toward him. If starving to death meant that the man didn’t touch him, so be it. Besides, he didn’t like this pip-squeak calling him boy . It hadn’t been that bad during the throes of passion, but no way in hell would Carlton allow anyone besides Daniel do it.
“Fine, then starve.” The man waved his hand toward the other two men, and they all left the room, the door slamming shut behind them.
Carlton sank back into the pillows again, wondering where in the hell his mate was. This just went to show Carlton what sort of mate Daniel was. If the man truly cared about his safety as he was supposed to, he never would have left Carlton unable to defend himself in a building full
