Chapter 04

The boy didn't struggle for the first few seconds. Although he flinched at the contact, he did nothing but moved his hands from the sheets he covered himself with to grip on Nicolas' chest. The boy let out a soft moan, and Nicolas swallowed it with greed.

Andrei, the boy, was beautiful. The moment he spotted the boy on stage, bound by chains and covered only with a thin fabric that left nothing to the imagination, struggling to free himself and to scream for help, Nicolas had vowed to claim him. To have him as his own.

Nicolas darted his tongue out, letting the tip of it trace the outline of the boy's beautiful lips. It was soft, plump and Nicolas wanted so much as to suck it, bite it until it hurts. He did not want to scare the boy though... For now.

He pushed his tongue into the boy's mouth, meeting a bit of resistance but his lips soon surrendered, opening up for Nicolas' tongue to invade. The boy whimpered deliciously under his ministrations, and Nicholas deepened the kiss before he moved back to inspect his work.

Eyes blown and moist, almost to the point of teary, cheeks flushed into a pretty pink, lips wet and slightly swollen from the kiss. He looked perfect. And Nicolas can't wait to shape him more to his liking. To form the boy into the perfect submissive Nicolas wanted him to be.

He brushed Andrei's hair to the side to look into his face more clearly now that he was awake. Though one can clearly tell Andrei is a male, his face was full of delicate features. Long lashes and big eyes that gave way to perfect whites, eyes that shone like the ocean in midday, an adorable nose dotted with light freckles that darkened when he blushed, and pouty lips that made Nicholas want to feast on them. The way the boy stared at him only egged him on.

Holding onto him as if Nicholas was the only thing that grounded him, kept him from floating adrift, he held on to his chest tighter. His breathing labored and body trembling even from the low intensity of the kiss. How adorable.

Nicholas was about to lean in for another taste when Andrei's eyes widened and the boy shoved him away.

"No!"

The push was unexpected. Though normally it would have taken more force for him to be swayed, Nicholas had let his guard down with the boy's immediate submission that he had allowed it to happen. He eyed Andrei as he ran, stumbling on his feet from the dangling sheets wrapped around his waist and they fell to the floor with a heavy 'thump'.

Prey running away from him? It didn't matter. Nicolas always loved the chase. The sight of them trying to escape even though it was futile was exhilarating, Nicolas tried to throw off the excited shudder that threatened to rise.

A smirk formed on his lips as he calmly made his way to the door where Andrei was busy shaking the handle. It was locked with a simple turn of the knob, but it seemed as though he was too occupied with his goal to escape that he didn't even notice it. The boy was rattled, almost in a panicked state when Nicholas trapped him on the spot with his larger frame. His large hands smacked against the door loudly, settling the boy.

Pinned between the closed door and Nicolas, Andrei jolted and stilled his breath. He did not move a muscle even as Nicolas leaned close to his ear. "Boy, you cannot escape me." He rumbled, his tone deep and oozing with the sense that made it sound like he won't accept anything else but Andrei's sweet surrender.

Andrei remained still, shoulders hunched forward, \*\*\*\*\* from when he slipped and dropped the blankets covering himself. And, oh, wasn't he a nice treat for the eyes.

Silence surrounded them both, and Nicolas took it as a sign that Andrei was listening. He bit onto Andrei's ear, hard and borderline bruising and the boy released a pained whimper that sounded like music to his ears.

"Did I made myself clear?" Andrei did not respond and this time he bit onto the flesh harder, enough to taste metal and he licked the tiny scratch he inflicted. He swiped the tiny bead of blood clean with his tongue, humming to himself with satisfaction.

"You are not to disobey me. You can try and escape, but once I caught you, be prepared to get punished." His voice became lower and lower as the words flowed out his mouth, and he felt the boy shudder underneath him.

He waited, this time more patiently until the boy let out a soft, breathy, "Yes."
