Shadow’s Sinner

Chapter Seven

Cold droplets of water plaster my face and drench my cloak as I push the thrashing girl's body harder into the stream, pressing her deep into the mud and rocks beneath her.

She almost manages to buck me off of her, but I hold fast, gripping her hair harder, and using all of my weight to hold her under the water.

Her body starts to still beneath me before I yank her up towards me.

She splutters gasping for air, spit mixing with the water on my face, fingers clawing at my hands still around her throat.

Her eyelids flutter open, and the emerald-green orbs glow back at me under the moonlight.

The look in her eyes makes me groan with delight.

Fear mixing with something else that I can’t quite decipher.

We stare at each other in the darkness, the only sound our mixed heavy breathing.

I let her catch her breath before I dunk her back under the water, stealing everything from her lungs again.

Instead of clawing at my hands this time, she clutches them to her, holding on for dear life.

I feel her trembling like a leaf from the cold water, but she’s not thrashing like she was earlier.

Her lack of fight, acceptance of her fate, makes my cock hard in my pants, pressing against my zipper and almost too uncomfortable to bear.

When her hands start to slip from their hold on mine, I rip her out of the water.

Her head lolls back towards the sky, arms limp at her sides.

I give her a harsh shake, but she still sits there limply in my hold.

Slapping her cheek, her head swings to the side, a red mark blooming on her skin.

A deep cough rushes out of her mouth, water and spit splashing my face again.

Those gemstone eyes look up at me with a glazed expression, glittering with tears as they trail down her face.

She reaches up gripping my hand with hers while she struggles to catch her breath.

I hold her there for a moment, contemplating what to do next.

I’ve never been this intimately close to a girl before.

Touching like this, hands clasped tightly.

Her skin is warm under my fingertips, even after being in the cold water for so long.

Her hair is plastered to her head, and although she resembles a drowned rat right now, there’s still something about her that makes my cock twitch.

Her breath fans my face, pulse going haywire under my hand still wrapped around her neck.

She’s shaking from the cold, lips starting to tinge a light blue, the color of them making a smile pull at my lips.

Pushing to my feet, I straddle her thin legs, looking down at her quivering in the cold water.

She stares up at me, tilting her head to the side like she’s waiting patiently for what I might do next.

There’s no screaming, no anything, just quiet as we look at each other.

Crouching down I reach over and hold her face between my hands, almost dwarfing her head inside of them.

I pull her face towards me and lean over to her ear.

Breathing in her scent, musky but sweet at the same time, nuzzling my nose in the hair by the side of her head.

My lips caress her ear as I whisper into the silence of the forest surrounding us, “Run, Little Shadow, because if I catch you, I will ruin you.”

We sit there with each other for a few seconds, and I worry that she is hard of hearing.

Before I can repeat myself she pushes me away, thrashing through the water like a hurricane, darting across the stream away from me.

A smile spreads across my face as I watch as she weaves her way through the trees and bushes.

Giving her a decent head start before I run after her.

Pushing tree limbs aside as they catch on my cloak, scratching the skin beneath, the pain eggs me on.

Running faster to catch up with her, watching as her red hair whips around her in the wind.

Her soaked dress weighs her down as she tries to jump over a log and trips, sending her face-first into the forest floor.

She rolls a few feet along the leaves and fallen twigs on the ground.

I pull myself to a stop on the other side of the log.

I’m not ready for this chase to be over yet.

My cock is throbbing in my pants, reminding me that it’s still here.

It makes me growl with irritation which gets her attention.

She looks up at me looming on the other side of the log and leaps to her feet before continuing on her way.

She’s much slower now than she was before, exhausted from the chase and almost being drowned in the stream.

I walk behind her waiting for her to give up already.

She won’t make it out of these woods either way.

My little shadow comes to a halt at a wall of rocks.

I knew the whole time where she was going, leading her to her demise at the edge of the woods.

The rocks are tall and imposing in the dark.

You can get lost trying to make your way through them, unless you know where you’re going.

Running along the rock wall she searches for an exit to keep going, making me chuckle when she finds one and darts in—following after her as she corners herself at the dead end that I knew was there.

She pushes up against the rocks, trying to climb her way to the top, but she slides back down to the bottom from her wet skin and clothes.

Finally giving up she turns around to face me, pressing her back up against the rocks.

She’s shivering in the cold, eyes darting from side to side trying to find a way out of this.

I stalk towards her, eyes traveling up her body.

Her dress is plastered to her, nipples poking out hard enough to cut glass.

Her body has curves now, much different from the child I once saw.

Walking right up to her I press my body against hers, pushing her hard into the rock behind her.

“Little Shadow, you didn’t run fast enough now did you? What a shame,”

I whisper into her ear, stroking her wet hair back from her face as she eyes me with apprehension.

“You weren’t supposed to be here today, Little Shadow, but I’m so glad you are.

Do you have any idea how chasing you down has made me feel?”

She shakes her head no, her body trembling against mine, seeking the warmth that I offer.

My cock throbs in my pants against her hip as we stand there.

She glances down and the look of horror on her face is comical as she realizes what it is.

“Are you scared, Little Shadow?”

I chuckle in her ear as I lick the side of her face, lapping up the salty tears that are falling from her eyes.

Taking a step back from her, I push her harshly to her knees.

She lets out a whimper of pain as her knees hit the hard forest floor beneath her.

Wrapping my fingers in her red hair I tug her head back, so she looks up at me, green eyes shining with unshed tears as her bottom lip trembles.

Using my other hand I rip open my cloak, remove my belt, and yank my zipper down.

Freeing my hard cock, it bobs in front of her face.

Her eyes go wide with fear as she stares at it, her mouth gaping slightly with shock.

I smirked down at her and said, “Now, why don’t you be a good little shadow and listen to what Master Simon says? Suck my cock like your life depends on it, because it just might.”
