Chapter 6: The Punishment

"What happened to me last night?" When she awoke, she asked Lilet. "You can review the body's built-in camera from Luke, you know," she replied. She was transported to their spacecraft and saw herself dancing in the tavern's center. The exterminator yelled at all the men, and they all stormed out of the building. She was drunk and dancing like a fool, and the man was staring at her as if what she was doing was fascinating.

When she split, she groaned with embarrassment and even showed him how to dance hip hop. She had never been intoxicated before, and she had been taught to be self-disciplined. She can't fathom putting herself in such an embarrassing situation. "You can't touch me," she said as she danced seductively.

"I know," he said hoarsely.

"Then why are you here, trying to torture yourself?" she asked. "You can take one of the women here and have your way with her," she said challenging him.

"I want you," he replied.

"You can't have me, I belonged to someone who was busy fucking one of his wives right now." she laughed. "Oooppps! My bad. You're close to the king and you'll report me to him. I know that," she said.

"No," he replied still watching her intently without even blinking.

"No?" she giggled. "do you find me attractive?" she asked.

"Yes, very," he replied.

"Hmmp! you're lying. The king was not pleased when he saw me," she said not believing him and her allure.

"I assure you, he found you irresistible but he was just suppressing his need, but soon" he said.

"You're speaking like you knew what's in his thoughts," she scoffed and called Luke. The android came forward and about to take her but the exterminator stopped him. "You're not allowed to touch her, and I will kill you if you touch her," he said.

To her surprise Luke didn't argue, just stepped back. "Tell her maid to get her in front of her residence," he ordered.

"You were delivered to me with those ancient wheeled velvet vehicle." Lilet said.

"What do you think of the man?" she asked.

"He's okay," Lilet replied.

"Just okay?" she asked incredulously

"Yes, someone as lovely as you didn't even exploit your vulnerability. Something is wrong with him. He's gay," concluded Lilet.

"Are you serious? He's enormous, fierce, and manly!" she exclaimed.

"Did you forget about world history, my dear? Many of the most ferocious kings seem to have been liking men. Even the legendary Greek warrior, Alexander the Great, was bisexual. Be not surprised."

"Or perhaps he was immune to allure and I wasn't his type," she speculated. "You bet, you were almost naked in front of him, dancing seductively," Lilet scoffed. She had a dry bath on the spacecraft and dressed in her morning gown. Her maids twisted her hair to make it luscious curly, and she wore a bright yellow light puffed sleeve gown.

She then entered the secret garden through the secret door. In the gazebo, there was a fruit basket full of fruits and another bowl full of sweets. This time, she didn't take any of them. She went to the balcony, stepped on concrete balustrade. Her hair and light gown blowing in the wind.

She raised her arms and looked up. He was watching her this time she smelled his intoxicating scent. She is aware of his erratic breathing Fear? But he's the infamous exterminator. He can't be afraid of someone who appears to be about to commit suicide.

She wanted to test his agility. According to Lilet he was fast and merciless to his enemies. He could kill hundreds of rogues in one day. All men in the tavern were anxious when he was around. He can issue order by just growling and those huge men scrambled to get out from the tavern when he used his wolf's growls.

Like her world, this sphere is dominated by wolves. Lilet scanned the people around the palace, nobles and the king's wives has wolf's blood. According to Lilet, the king only marries a woman with a wolf's blood to preserve the race. She was altered, a woman of wolf's blood yet wolfless. Her father knew it but it didn't matter to him. She's stronger and fast than a she-wolf

She heard him approaching her like a phantom. She smirked and lowered her gaze. She can see the waves engulfing the rocks. She dived before he could catch her, closing her eyes and waiting for the water to hit her. But it didn't happen because her foot was grabbed.

As he pulked her back, the exterminator cursed several times. He yelled at her and shook her roughly and violently. "Are you crazy? " he yelled.

Venus felt dizzy from the violent shaking, as if her brain had gone to a blender machine. "Stop!" she yelled, releasing herself from his grip. "I'm fine, I just want to swim," she said, grumbling as she realized the exterminator wouldn't believe her.

"Swimming? A hundred feet from the ground?" He asked, perplexed. She noticed him trembling. "Have you ever tried diving? We have that kind of sport, you know?" she responded

She didn't see his next move coming. He took her hand in his and sat on the swing. He sat her across her lap, grabbing the hem of her gown and pulling it up. He yanked her underwear down, and she was now laying with her stomach on her lap.

She struggled to release her. "What exactly are you doing?" she asked, embarrassed, covering her bottom. As she heard a loud whack, his hands moved to his bare bottom. He was punishing her like a child, she can't believe it. It stings because it hurts. She felt his palm repeatedly. She didn't say anything or make a sound. She was extremely embarrassed, and the only thing she could save herself from this humiliation was her pride.

She bit her lower lip not because she was in pain, but because she was ashamed. Her lips are tinged with blood. When he was finished, he let her go. His fingers touched her lips as he gently wiped the blood away.

Nobody had ever humiliated her in that way before. Her hand landed on the man's cheek before he could move again. She caught him off guard by slipping her knees between his legs. She took off when she heard him groan in pain. Serve you right, asshole!" she yelled.

Groaning, she realized the man can't follow her. She turned, and took all the sweets from the table. Gave him a smirk, " don't worry you'll live," she said and walked towards the secret door.
