Chapter 20 - A Deal Of Sin

Warning: Mild R18

"A deal for me?" Persephone's extremely cool voice mingled with the ocean breeze, rang. 

"Yeah, a deal for you," His deep voice comes out as a growl and it was too clear to Persephone that her being in his proximity was affecting him just as much as her. 

But what were his intentions with him? She thought she knew it. 

"Fifteen days," Santiago continued. "Give me yourself for fifteen days and I will give you what you crave the most. I will give you freedom, Persephone." Seeing surprise written all over her face, he murmured."Like a free bird, you will fly in the sky. You can go anywhere on this island. I will not stop you. I will bring everything you will ask me to you. I will not stop you from interacting with people."Just as he expected, dread was written all over Persephone's face. " I promise that I will not hurt you. Neither will I allow anyone to hurt you. You will go back to your father unharmed. Just give yourself to me for fifteen days." 

"Why?" Persephone forced out the word. 

"I will not lie to you and I hope you will not lie to me either," Santiago said, his icy blue eyes devoid of any emotion but lust was visible written there. "I want you. I want you so badly. I can't think straight when you are in the same room as me. I need to have you to get you out of my mind. My insides lust for you." 

"No," Persephone said, pushing Santiago by her hands, she landed on the ground. Without bothering to look back, she headed towards the door. She didn't know what came over to her when she refused Santiago's offer. Did she want him as much as he wanted her? Yes, maybe more than him. Was his offer tempting? Very much so. But what was stopping her now? Her ambition. 

Persephone was indeed a captive but she wanted her captor at her own conditions. Villain could see her false bravery but he hadn't seen the manipulative side of her. He had not known that as much as she cares about the people around her, she would do anything that it took to survive. Even if it meant to use her body. 

What would be the use of this stunning body if she couldn't leave this island alive? 

Men. Bigoted beings. They function on their desires. Woman. Smart beings. They function on their ambitions. She was powerless against him. But weak? No. She feared him. Yes. But she wasn't afraid to defeat him. 

She would do anything what it took to defeat this Villain at his own game. Even becoming a pawn in his game. 

This time, she swore that she wouldn't be collateral damage in the war between her father and Villain. 

The cool air felt refreshing as it caressed her skin when she opened the door to step outside. She had not taken a step ahead when Santiago gripped her wrist and pulled her back. He made her look at him and asked, "State your conditions." 

Persephone just smiled. This was what she wanted to hear. 

Did she think Santiago didn't recognize the fox within her? She was manipulative, calculative, greedy, and untrustable. All the qualities he should stay away from. All the qualities that she possessed held the power to ruin him. Yet, here he was accepting her silent condition to have her on his bed. 

But if she thought that she could control him just because he revealed his weakness to her, she had another thing coming. He might have shown her his only weakness. She still didn't know his hidden strengths. 

"Five wishes along with the conditions you mentioned earlier," Persephone said clearly. "Five wishes like Aladdin got from the Genie." 

"So, I'm now a Genie," Santiago said to himself. "Very well. But your wishes can only be fulfilled on this island." 

"I know," Persephone scoffed. Taking a deep breath, she added,"Fifteen days for five wishes. I sold myself to you." 

"I own this sinuous body for the next fifteen days," Santiago growled as he snaked an arm around her waist and picked her up from the ground. Her legs wrapped around his chest and he connected his lips to hers while shutting the door with his feet. 

On his way to the bedroom, he had removed all her clothes and they were lying on the ground in a trail.

Her body was plopped on the vast and soft bed. As she was catching her breath, Santiago peeled off the last piece of clothing off his body. In his full naked glory, he was staring intensely at the goddess laid on his bed. 

Moving forward, he ripped her bra and panties with a tug. To his both surprise and delight, she leaned close to receive his warmth. 

"Gosh, you are a redhead," Santiago roared, his fingers dipped into her p.u.s.s..y while her pubic hair tickling his fingers.
