Into The Devil’s Heart

Song recommendation: Someone Like You by Adele

“you’ve taken care of me regardless of what I want, let me this time… I want to care for you as much as you did for me, I want to please you and be with you. You mustn’t care for me in return.” Audrey didn’t know what she was saying, all she knows is she wanted him.This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“I am hard, bunny, never gentle. You won’t stay like this in the next week” Cannon tells her the fact.

He doesn’t want her to stop loving him but he wants to make her know that he is more than those bad names she called him and very hard to crack.

“I can try ” Audrey was bent on making him know that she isn’t just any girl who runs away from things that scare her.

She used to at first but now, she knows better than running every time things get scary. She is willing to face her fears, to show him that she can ride with him anywhere and everywhere.

“Bunny?” Cannon calls out, unwilling to give in.

Audrey walked and stood before him, grabbed him by the collar, and pulled him in for a kiss. Cannon didn’t resist, he let her kiss him for as long as she wanted.

Audrey grabs his hands and places them on her breast, silently telling him to go on and do what he wants to do to her.

“You will regret this” Cannon blurts out.

Audrey’s heart was as if it would burst out into millions of pieces, how could he say that she would regret loving him?

“Even if I will, let me still give it a try… Let me feel how sinful it can be to love you and desire to be with you.” She kisses his chin down to his neck.

Cannon closes his eyes in response, no one has dared to do much to her except her and it feels good.

He picks her up all of a sudden and carries her out of the kitchen. Audrey wondered where he was taking her too but when he pushed open the door to the red room, she stopped questioning herself.

He places her down on the bed and makes her sit upright.

“This is me,” he said and walked to where the stringers were hanging and turned to her, “if you love me, you must be willing to accept this part of me,” he told her.

Ever since he brought her to this room, he had never attempted to do what he wanted for fear that she would hate him more and run away but now, he is sure nothing will happen. She loves him after all.

Audrey’s eyes walk through the weapons hanging on the wall one after the other. She’s seen it before but has never used it. She isn’t a fool not to know what their uses are even though she couldn’t figure them all out.

She gulps down nervously, her heart pounding in her chest threatening to cut. “I accept, so long as it comes from you” She was willing to do it for him ignoring everything that comes with it.

Cannon pulls the stringers and walks to her, crunching down so their eyes can be on the same line.

“Sure?” He raises a brow, and Audrey nods. She had a determined face on.

“Good!” He grabbed her left hand and attached the stringer, walked to the right, and did the same.

“It will be painful, in the most pleasurable way” he whispers into her ears before going back down and chaining her legs to the bed.

He pours oil on her breast to her belly button down to her thigh and pants. He goes down and gently starts rubbing on her body, spreading the oil all over.

It feels so good having him give her a caressing massage, after a while of pleasing her body, he walks back and grabs the leather flogger whip.

He trails her body with the whip, letting her feel how soft yet hard the leather feels on her body.

“This is not for you” he blurted out. He doesn’t know why he feels so heavy to hit her, it has always been something he has so much wanted to do to her but now, it feels like he doesn’t know what he wants anymore.

“I can take it,” Audrey stops to her defense, she doesn’t like the fact that he sees her as someone weak and always looks for others to help her.

Yes, she is scared… Truth be told but she is even more scared to lose him.

“Be careful with what you say bunny,” Cannon takes in a deep breath, “don’t get dragged into hell with me, it’s no place for a softy like you?” he said. “If you ride with me, then, you got no choice but to be like me”

Audrey swallowed, the way he stared at her made her shiver. Something about those eyes says he’s for real, but that’s not her business.

If he is serious as hell, then, she is serious as heaven.

“There’s nowhere else I will want to go but hell with you” she blurts out, never blinking.

She believes her life now is no longer hers, from the day she accepted him and offered herself to him, her life has never been hers.

“Don’t push me away, I’m bound with you, for the rest of my life” she gulps down her saliva, “hell might be a dangerous place for a bunny like me, but so long as I am with you, I am safe?” she said with all confident.

Her eyes were teary, but apart from the year that rolled down her cheeks, her eyes said more than her words could.

Cannon grinds on his teeth, so hard that the sound of teeth against each other can be heard.

For some reason, he doesn’t want her to accept him. Maybe because he knows what will become of her after he used her or maybe, just maybe he loves her and doesn’t want her to be anything like him.

He turns to her, and for a second his eyes color change slightly red before going back to normal.

He raises the whip and lets it down on her body with force, letting her feel his anger.

Audrey wasn’t expecting it to be this painful, tears rolled down her cheeks. She bites her lips to stop herself from crying out loud.

He didn’t stop, he did it over and over again. Sending waves of pain throughout her body. It wasn’t supposed to be this painful, but it is.

He wasn’t doing it for pleasure, he was doing it to make her see the real him and change her mind.

“That’s just a tip of what hell feels like” he breaks the silence.

Audrey’s chest moves up and down as she tries to catch her breath. “I-i” she stutters unable to speak.

“Run while you can, bunny,” he said.

“I still want to be there with you, ” she voiced out in a cracked voice, “there’s only one place I can run to, and that’s you”

For the first time in Cannon’s life, he felt his heart tug in his chest uncontrollably. It was as though his emotions were about to burst out, he couldn’t keep them under control.

“Why don’t you just let go? I can’t love you, bunny… I don’t know how to love, can’t you see? I kill for fun, and I hurt people for pleasure. I consume the human heart for food and blood for wine. Can’t you see how dark I am? How can I bear you stained a pure soul like you? ” Cannon didn’t know what to do.

” N-not everyone is perfect, not all is good,” she said, ” it’s better to love and live with the devil you know than the angel you don’t know”

Audrey was content with what she had and with her life right now. At first, she always asked her why she was so unfortunate in everything but now she knows better.

If she was as perfect and pure as he said she was, then maybe, just maybe her dad wouldn’t have treated her as a possession… It would have been different.

“don’t turn your back on me,” she begs, “you don’t have to love me, just let me enjoy you while my days are numbered. Let me at least, have a story to be imprinted in my memory that’s worth treasuring.”
