Chapter 253 Fucking Lady Ondine

The air in the long, secluded corridor felt different – still, silent, as if the very stone absorbed all sound. Ondine Bellerose walked beside Alaric Steele, her hand resting lightly on his arm. The elegant sway in her hips was a practiced facade, masking the storm raging beneath her poised exterior. ‘A secret chamber?’ she thought, her mind racing. ‘He actually keeps a place hidden, even from his own family? Just for… occasions?’

He led her down a winding staircase that seemed to descend deeper than necessary, away from the main levels of the manor. The walls here were bare stone, clean but unadorned, a stark contrast to the opulence above. No guards stood watch, no servants bustled. This was a place meant to be utterly private.

Finally, they reached a heavy, reinforced door. Alaric pushed it open, revealing a room that was both luxurious and discreet. Dark, plush carpets absorbed the light, thick tapestries lined the walls, and heavy velvet drapes covered a single, high window, ensuring absolute privacy. A large, elaborately carved bed dominated the center, piled with silken pillows. A low table held decanters and glasses, alongside a bowl of ripe fruit. There was a sense of quiet decadence, a place designed for pleasure and secrecy.

Alaric released her arm and stepped further into the room. He turned, his ruby eyes sweeping over her, a slow, assessing gaze that felt like a physical touch. “Welcome, Lady Ondine,” he said, his voice losing the formal edge it held in the study, becoming lower, more intimate, and utterly predatory. “To my… personal sanctuary.”

Ondine stood just inside the doorway, taking it all in. ‘Personal sanctuary? More like a cage for gilded birds,’ she mused, though the thought sent an unwelcome thrill through her. This felt illicit, dangerous, exhilarating. Her marriage to Theron had been a political arrangement, devoid of passion. This felt like stepping into a forbidden realm.

“It’s… impressive, Lord Steele,” she managed, her voice smooth, betraying none of the turmoil within. She still held onto the hope, however faint, that she could navigate this, perhaps even turn it to her advantage. Conquer the conqueror, as she had so many others.

Alaric smiled, a slow, knowing curve of his lips. He didn’t move towards her. He simply watched her, his eyes holding hers, radiating that unnerving mix of power and desire. “You are a woman who understands value, Lady Ondine,” he said softly. “Value in alliances, in power, in… assets.” His gaze dropped to her body, lingering on the curve of her breasts visible in the elegant V of her gown. “And I understand the value of a… personal connection.”

He took a step towards her, then another, closing the distance between them. Ondine held her ground, her heart pounding a frantic rhythm against her ribs. He stopped just inches away, his gaze still locked on hers.

“This gown,” Alaric murmured, reaching out, his fingers brushing against the rich sapphire silk. “It is beautiful. Exquisite craftsmanship. A symbol of your station, your carefully cultivated image.” His hand moved from her shoulder, down her arm, then back up, his fingers trailing lightly along the edge of her neckline, mimicking the touch in the study.

Ondine shivered, despite herself. The memory of his touch there, the explicit threat, the powerlessness… it resurfaced now, mixing strangely with the rising heat in her veins. ‘He’s playing with me,’ she thought, a flicker of defiance rising. ‘He thinks he has me trapped.’

Alaric’s smile widened, as if he read her thoughts. “But here,” he said, his voice dropping to a husky whisper, “in this sanctuary, those symbols… are unnecessary.”

And then, without another word, he acted.

His hands, strong and sudden, grasped the fabric of her gown near her shoulders. Ondine gasped, her eyes widening in surprise and shock. ‘He wouldn’t…!’ But she had been wrong about him before.

With a swift, decisive motion, Alaric tore the fabric. The sound was sharp, startling in the quiet room – a tearing, ripping sound of expensive silk giving way. Her gown, her carefully chosen, elegant, expensive gown, was ripped down the front, from her shoulders to her waist.

Ondine stood frozen, the torn halves of the gown falling open, exposing the delicate lace chemise she wore underneath, and beneath that, the upper swells of her full, lush breasts. The cool air of the room suddenly felt sharp against her skin. Humiliation washed over her for a brief second, quickly followed by a rush of pure, unadulterated shock. ‘He… he actually tore it! Just like that!’ She had not anticipated this level of blunt, physical assertion.

Alaric looked down at her, his eyes burning with a dark intensity. “There,” he said, his voice rougher now. “Much better. Now, I can see you. Truly see you, Ondine. Without the masks, without the symbols of your… other life.”

His gaze lingered on her breasts, the lacy chemise doing little to conceal their generous curves. Ondine felt a deep blush rise from her chest to her neck, yet she didn’t cover herself. A strange, powerful mix of shame, anger, and an undeniable, terrifying excitement held her captive. This was completely outside her experience, outside her control.

Alaric reached out again, his fingers tracing the new, jagged edge of the torn silk. “You came here expecting to negotiate, perhaps to conquer,” he murmured. “But you forget, Ondine. This is my domain. And here… I am the one who conquers.”

He slid his hands beneath the torn fabric, gently pushing it aside. His palms came to rest directly on the soft, warm skin of her lower ribs, just beneath her breasts. Ondine’s breath hitched.

“And you, my dear Lady Bellerose,” Alaric continued, his voice a low purr, “are a magnificent prize.” His thumbs moved upwards, brushing against the underside of her breasts, sending shivers through her entire body. “Such… ample rewards.”

He looked up, meeting her eyes, his expression utterly predatory. “Let’s see just how… rewarding… this negotiation truly will be.”

He didn’t wait for a response. He pulled her towards him, his grip firm, bringing her body flush against his. Ondine gasped as the torn silk parted further, her breasts pressing against his chest. His mouth came down on hers in a kiss that was demanding, possessive, and utterly intoxicating.

It was a kiss that stole her breath, that ignited a fire she hadn’t known was dormant within her. Her initial shock and humiliation began to melt away, replaced by a raw, burning need. This was different. This was primal. This was him.

His hands left her ribs, moving upwards, cupping her breasts through the delicate lace. Ondine moaned softly into his mouth as his thumbs brushed against her nipples. ‘Oh gods, they’re so sensitive!’

Alaric broke the kiss, his gaze dropping back to her chest. “Perfect,” he whispered, his voice husky with desire. He lowered his head, his lips brushing against the lace, then finding the ripe peak of one nipple.

Ondine cried out softly, arching her back as he suckled through the fabric. “Ah! Alaric… oh…”

He pulled down the chemise with practiced ease, freeing her breasts entirely. Ondine felt a surge of vulnerability, then a rush of heat as his eyes devoured her. They were full, heavy, her nipples already hard peaks aching for his touch.

“Beautiful,” he murmured, his voice filled with genuine appreciation. He took one full breast into his mouth, suckling deeply, his tongue laving the sensitive peak.

“Oh! Yes! Please… oh, Alaric!” Ondine moaned, her hands coming up, her fingers tangling in his dark hair, holding him closer. All thought of resistance, of turning the tables, vanished. This was pure sensation, overwhelming and intoxicating. She had planned to conquer his mind, his resources. He was conquering her body, her very will.

He suckled both breasts in turn, teasing the nipples with his tongue and teeth, driving her wild. He used his hands to cup and lift them, admiring their weight and shape. Then, he reached down, his palm landing squarely on the curve of her hip, and slid down to cup her full, rounded bottom through the riding habit.

“And these…” he murmured, his fingers kneading the firm muscle beneath the fabric. “Just as perfect.”

He squeezed her buttocks, then gave one cheek a sharp, resonant smack.

SMACK!

Ondine cried out, a startled gasp mixed with a moan. “Oh! Alaric!” The sting was immediate, followed by a strange, pulsing heat. It was humiliating, yet utterly thrilling. ‘He actually… smacked me!’ She felt a part of her mind recoil, while another, deeper part, hidden even from herself, pulsed with excitement. She had never experienced anything like this. Theron was gentle, distant. This was… aggressive. Dominant. And she found, to her utter shock, that she liked it.

He smacked her other cheek, then cupped both, lifting and squeezing her bottom. “You belong here now, Ondine,” he said, his voice low and possessive. “In my sanctuary. In my hands.”

He lifted her into his arms with surprising strength. Ondine wrapped her legs around his waist instinctively. He carried her to the large bed and laid her gently on the silken sheets.

Her riding habit was cumbersome, torn but still largely intact. Alaric knelt beside the bed, his gaze still locked on hers. “Let’s get rid of the rest of these constraints,” he said, his voice a promise.

He efficiently removed the remainder of her ruined gown, pulling it away until she lay naked on the bed, clad only in her lace chemise which he then quickly discarded. Ondine felt completely exposed, vulnerable, yet also strangely liberated. She had nothing left to hide behind, no image to maintain.

Alaric stood, shedding his own clothes with a speed that surprised her. Ondine watched him, her eyes wide. He was powerfully built, lean and muscular, his skin glowing faintly in the dim light. And then, her gaze dropped lower, and her breath hitched in her throat.

He was fully aroused, his erection thick, long, and impossibly pink-tipped.

‘Gods above,’ Ondine thought, her eyes wide. ‘It’s… enormous. I’ve never seen anything like it.’ Theron was adequate, but nothing compared to this. This was monumental. This was… Alaric.

Alaric saw her gaze, her reaction. A smirk touched his lips. “Surprised, Ondine?” he murmured, his voice full of male pride.

Ondine could only nod, speechless, her eyes fixed on the impressive length and girth of his shaft.

He knelt on the bed between her legs, his eyes meeting hers, filled with a raw, possessive desire. “This is yours now, Ondine,” he said, his voice deep and commanding. “For tonight. To make you understand who truly holds the power here.”

He leaned down and kissed her again, deeper this time, his body pressing down onto hers. Ondine opened her legs, welcoming him, a primal instinct taking over. She was no longer planning, no longer strategizing. She was simply… receiving.

He positioned himself between her thighs. Ondine felt the blunt head of his dick pressing against her entrance. She tensed slightly, despite the heat building inside her.

“Relax, Ondine,” he murmured against her lips. “Just feel it. Feel me.”

He pressed forward slowly, deliberately. Ondine gasped as he began to enter her. It was tight, a deep, stretching sensation that was almost painful, yet thrillingly intense. ‘So thick… so full…’

“Oh… ah… Alaric…” she moaned, her hips instinctively lifting slightly to meet him.

He pushed deeper, slowly, inexorably. Ondine’s eyes squeezed shut, her body adjusting to the unfamiliar, overwhelming fullness. ‘It’s massive! How… how can he…’

With a final, powerful thrust, he was fully inside her. Ondine cried out, a loud, release of tension and sensation. “Ah! Gods! Alaric… you’re so… deep!”

He paused for a moment, buried deep inside her, letting them both adjust. His body felt hot, powerful, pressing her into the soft bed.

Then, he began to move. Slow, deep strokes that stretched her, filled her completely. Ondine moaned with each movement, her body arching off the bed to meet his thrusts. “Oh… yes… Alaric… like that… ah!”

He increased the pace, his movements becoming faster, harder, more demanding. Ondine wrapped her legs tightly around his waist, pulling him even deeper, desperate for more. This was unlike anything she had ever felt. This was pure, unadulterated pleasure, delivered with a force and intensity that left her breathless.

Her rational mind, the calculating strategist, was silenced. All that existed was the pounding rhythm of their bodies, the exquisite friction, the overwhelming sensation of being thoroughly, aggressively used by this powerful young man. And she loved it. Every shattering thrust, every demanding kiss, every possessive touch. This dominance, this raw power… it was precisely what her soul, starved by years of passionless duty, craved.

“Faster, Alaric! Oh, faster!” she pleaded, her voice hoarse with desire.

He responded instantly, his thrusts becoming a relentless, powerful assault. Ondine met him equally, her hips lifting, twisting, grinding against him. Their bodies slapped together, the sounds echoing softly in the private chamber.

“Ah! Ah! Ah!” Moans ripped from her throat, raw and unrestrained. Her carefully maintained composure had shattered, replaced by the panting, moaning reality of pure physical pleasure.

He reached down and cupped her buttocks again, lifting them slightly, deepening his thrusts even further. “You like that, Ondine?” he asked, his voice rough with his own exertion.

“Yes! Gods, yes! Oh, Alaric! Don’t stop! Please, don’t stop!”

He drove into her harder and harder, pushing her towards a precipice of sensation. Ondine felt a building pressure deep inside her, a tightening coil of exquisite tension.

“I’m… I’m going to…” she gasped, her body vibrating.

“Let go, Ondine,” he commanded, his voice a low growl. “Let go for me!”

With a final series of powerful thrusts, the tension snapped. Ondine cried out, a long, shattering sound, as a wave of powerful pleasure crashed over her, making her whole body tremble. It was an orgasm unlike any she had ever experienced, deeper, more profound, lasting longer than she thought possible.

“Oh… oh my… Alaric…” she panted, collapsing back onto the bed, her body slick with sweat.

Alaric didn’t stop. He continued to thrust, his own breathing heavy. He lowered his head and kissed her neck, his teeth nipping lightly at her skin. “Not yet, Ondine,” he murmured. “We’ve just begun.”

He changed positions, rolling her onto her side, entering her from behind. Ondine gasped at the new angle, the different depth of penetration. It was just as intense, just as overwhelming. He gripped her hips, setting a new, powerful rhythm.

He took her in dozens of positions that night, on the bed, standing against the wall, leaning over the low table. Each position brought new sensations, new depths of pleasure. He fucked her tirelessly, his stamina seemingly endless. He didn’t withdraw; he climaxed inside her again and again, flooding her with his hot seed. Each time he came inside her, it felt like a profound act of claiming, of possession.

Ondine lost track of time, of positions, of climaxes. Her body was a vessel for his pleasure, and her own pleasure was inextricably linked to his dominant use of her. She moaned, she cried out, she begged for more, she screamed his name.

She kissed him, she scratched his back lightly, she arched her body to meet his thrusts with a fierce, primal energy. She was no longer Lady Ondine Bellerose, the cunning strategist. She was simply a woman, consumed by desire, submitting to the overwhelming power of the man who held her.

She had planned to make him submit to her will. Instead, she had submitted to his body, his power, his utterly captivating dominance. Her carefully constructed facade, the one she had presented to the world, to Theron, to Alaric in the study, had been torn away with her gown, and in its place was a raw, passionate woman she barely recognized.

This felt like the first time she had truly cheated on her husband, not just because she was with another man, but because she was experiencing a level of sexual satisfaction and connection she had never dreamed of, with someone who saw her, took her, and used her in a way that Theron never could.

The aggressive use, the possessive touches, the raw power – she loved it.

As the first hint of dawn filtered through the thick drapes, Alaric finally slowed. He was still inside her, deep and full, his body heavy against hers.

Ondine lay beneath him, utterly exhausted, her body aching in the most satisfying way possible. Her legs felt weak and trembled slightly. She was saturated with his seed, damp with sweat.

He lowered himself beside her, pulling her close, still joined. Ondine rested her head on his chest, listening to the steady beat of his heart. She felt no shame, only a profound sense of fulfillment, a dizzying mix of physical exhaustion and utter, complete devotion.

After a while, Alaric stirred. He extracted himself from her body, a slow, lingering withdrawal that made Ondine moan softly in protest at the loss of his fullness. He rose, moving with the easy confidence of someone who had just conquered a world.

“Get dressed, Ondine,” he said, his voice softer now, though still with an underlying tone of command. “We have one more stop to make.”

Ondine, her body protesting with every movement, rose from the bed. She found her ruined gown discarded on the floor. She could see her reflection in a cheval glass – her hair was a tangled mess, her eyes heavy-lidded, her lips swollen from his kisses, her neck and breasts marked with faint bruises and love bites. Her body ached, particularly between her legs, making her walk with a strange, stiff gait. She felt utterly used, in the most exhilarating way.

She didn’t have another gown here. Alaric offered her a simple robe from a nearby wardrobe. It was made of soft silk, a dark, neutral color. Ondine put it on, covering her marked body, feeling the familiar weight of clothing again, though it felt strange after a night of such raw exposure.

Alaric was dressed quickly, his composure completely restored. He looked as if he had merely spent a quiet night of rest, not hours engaged in strenuous, passionate activity.

He led her out of the secret chamber, back up the hidden staircase, and into the main manor. The guards they passed looked surprised to see Lady Ondine emerging from that section with the Young Master, and dressed in a simple robe, but they remained silent, their expressions impassive. Ondine kept her eyes focused ahead, her face carefully neutral, but her body still hummed with the aftereffects of the night.

Alaric didn’t take her back to her designated guest chambers. Instead, he led her downwards, towards the dungeons. Ondine felt a jolt of apprehension, quickly followed by understanding. Kenneth. Of course. This was the final act of his humiliation.

They reached the lower levels, the air growing cooler, the stone walls starker. The guards posted outside the dungeon entrance straightened respectfully as Alaric approached.

“Open Kenneth’s cell,” Alaric commanded, his voice crisp.

The heavy door creaked open, revealing the dim interior. Kenneth lay on the floor, still looking battered and broken, his clothes torn and stained. He looked up, his eyes widening in pain and disbelief as he saw Alaric standing there. And then, his gaze fell upon the figure beside him.

Ondine. Dressed in a strange robe, looking tired, but… standing with Alaric.

“Kenneth,” Alaric said, his voice carrying in the echoing space. “As promised, you will be released. But first, I wanted you to see something. To understand something.”

He stepped fully into the cell entrance, drawing Ondine with him. He placed his arm around her waist, pulling her closer to his side. Ondine went willingly, leaning into his touch, her eyes fixed on him, a look of quiet devotion on her face. She didn’t look at Kenneth.

“See this woman, Kenneth?” Alaric continued, his voice dangerously soft, laced with triumph. “Lady Ondine Bellerose. The ambitious, untouchable matriarch-in-waiting of House Bellerose. The woman you desired. The woman you thought you could impress, perhaps even… charm into your collection.”

He smiled, a cruel, predatory baring of teeth. His hand, still around Ondine’s waist, moved upwards, deliberately lifting her simple robe, exposing the side of her marked breast and the curve of her hip. Ondine didn’t flinch. She stood still, allowing him to display her.

Then, Alaric’s fingers closed around her breast, cupping its weight, his thumb brushing against the aching, sensitive nipple. Ondine gasped softly, a sound that was part surprise, part pleasure, part absolute, unquestioning submission. She didn’t pull away. She leaned into his hand, into his touch, her eyes still focused solely on him.

“She came here, Kenneth,” Alaric purred, his voice dripping with malicious pleasure. “She came here wanting to deal with me. Wanting to understand my power. And she learned. Oh, she learned everything.”

He squeezed her breast gently, his eyes fixed on Kenneth’s face, savoring the utter devastation he saw there. Kenneth stared, his mouth agape, his eyes wide with horror, disbelief, and crushing despair. Seeing Ondine, the object of his ambition, his validation, standing there, allowing Alaric to fondle her so openly, displaying such obvious devotion to the man who had broken him… it was a blow more devastating than any Fiora had delivered.

“She is mine now, Kenneth,” Alaric stated, his voice hard and absolute. “Just like my fortress. Just like my lands. Just like my future. And you, with your pathetic charms, your laughable System… you can’t touch her. She chose me. She submits to me.” He emphasized the word, a cruel twist of the knife.

Ondine finally glanced at Kenneth, her dark eyes cold, devoid of any recognition, any pity, any of their previous interactions. She looked at him as if he were a bothersome insect, a relic of a past she had already moved beyond. Then, she turned her gaze back to Alaric, her expression softening into that look of quiet devotion once more. She was no longer Kenneth’s goal; she was Alaric’s possession, and she accepted it completely.

Alaric dropped the robe, letting it fall back into place. He gave Ondine’s waist a possessive squeeze. “And she, Kenneth,” he said, his voice dropping to a chill whisper that echoed in the stone cell, “is just the beginning. Every woman you have ever desired. Every woman you have ever claimed with your little System’s pathetic help. I will find them. And I will take them. One by one.”

He leaned closer, his face inches from Kenneth’s, who lay trembling on the floor. “I will make them forget you, Kenneth. I will make them call my name. And you will know. You will know that everything you ever wanted, everything you thought made you an Emperor… now belongs to Alaric Steele.”

He straightened, his expression triumphant. “Take him out,” Alaric ordered the guards. “Escort him back to Jorailia. Make sure he understands the message.”

The guards entered the cell and roughly hauled Kenneth to his feet. Kenneth didn’t resist, his spirit utterly crushed. He stumbled out of the cell, not daring to look at Ondine or Alaric again.

Alaric watched him go, a satisfied smile on his face. He turned to Ondine, pulling her closer. “Well, my dear Lady Bellerose,” he said, his voice warm and intimate, completely different from the chilling tone he used with Kenneth. “Now that that unpleasantness is dealt with, let’s get you back to your chambers. You look like you could use some rest.” He saw the exhaustion in her eyes, the slight tremor in her legs.

Ondine looked up at him, her dark eyes soft, utterly unlike the sharp, calculating gaze she usually presented to the world. She nodded, leaning into his embrace. “As you wish, Alaric,” she murmured, her voice slightly husky. ‘He broke me,’ she thought, a sense of wonder mixed with surrender washing over her.

‘Completely broke me down. And in doing so… he set me free.’

The night had been a revelation, a shattering of her old self, and the emergence of a new, devoted Ondine, one who found her greatest pleasure in submitting to the magnificent, terrifying young man who now held her leash, and who had shown her desires she hadn’t known she possessed.

She had come to conquer him, but he had conquered her utterly and completely, and she found, to her astonishment, that she had never felt more complete.
