Still, I wait until my clenched limbs are stiff before I dare budge. When my stomach growls, I try to remember if I ordered any food last night.
Could that have been a delivery person?
“… Hello?” I croak. But I know no one is there. Not anymore.
With great caution, I pulled myself out of bed. The second my feet hit the ground, though, I nearly fall flat onto my face.
My thighs are unexpectedly sore.
Grinding my teeth, I push through it.
The curiosity that pushed me over the edge last night is edging me forward again, even if a familiar dread is weighing me down.
But all of that is a welcomed distraction from the shame.
Shit. I masturbated to the thought of Tytus Ryzdon. My family's most dangerous enemy. Rozalia’s older brother.
… And it was the hottest thing I’ve ever done—though, I guess that’s an easy task for a virgin.
When my hand falls on the doorknob, I take a shaky breath, then I rip the band-aid off.
When the door pulls open, I get ready to flinch. To run. To scream. But no one waits for me in the hallway. No one’s down the hall either.
The place is empty… except for a package at the foot of my door.
The beige cardboard container is about twice the size of a shoebox. A pretty red bow wraps around it. When I bend down to inspect the thing, I notice that a small letter has been tucked beneath the string.
I look down the hallway one last time before slipping back inside. The box comes with me. I set it down on the bed as I consider if I should open it or not.
The answer comes quickly enough.
Of course I’m opening it.
By this point, even my fear is outweighed by my curiosity. I carefully pull at the ribbon. It easily comes undone.
Biting down on my lip, I lift the cover.
What’s inside steals my breath away.
“No way…” I almost laugh.
A massive dildo stares back at me.
“This is insane,” I mumble.
Still, I lean in for a closer look.
My tongue flickers across my lips as I see the veins wrapping the thick shaft. A gulp slips down my throat at the size of the girthy mushroom head.
Just like that, I’m wet again.
I’ve never owned a dildo before. Are they supposed to be this detailed? It almost looks like someone took a cast replica of their dick. Who the hell would do something like that? And why?
Suddenly, I remember the tiny letter that came with the box. I scramble to find it. Then I furiously rip it open.
But maybe I shouldn’t have been so eager. Because the message inside hits me even harder than the gift it came with.
“Start slow, princess,” the handwritten note warns. “Because I won’t.”
