The moment Luna opened his eyes, panic surged within him.

He was lying down on a soft king-sized bed, almost naked. Aside from his underwear, the rest of his clothes had gone missing. Widely spread and tightly roped against the wooden corners of the head-board and foot-board were his arms and legs, restricting their movement.

He relentlessly squirmed over the bed, trying to loosen the ropes binding him, but no matter how hard he struggled, the strong cords refused to be undone.

Exhausted and strained, Luna glanced around the spacious room. It had a high ceiling, and even though the chandelier was turned off and the room was dimly lighted, Luna could still perceive its elegant design. Wide windows were surrounding the room but they were covered with thick red curtains. Lamps that were as stylish as the chandelier were sticking out of the pink flowery walls.

An air-conditioner was set at a low temperature, adding to the coldness Luna was already enduring from within, making him quiver. The scented candles burning around the bed were not enough to give him the warmth he needed.

Two doors, a meter apart from each other, were facing the foot-board. And, as if the person behind the left door knew that Luna was staring, it opened with a creaking sound that added to the eeriness of that dimly lit room.

Lei came walking in, seductively, wearing only a two-piece silky red lingerie. Her lips were covered with thick red lipstick. Her cheeks were glowing pink. Her eyelashes seemed longer than it was earlier. An eye liner was applied around the contours of her eyes and they were gazing enchantingly at Luna. She was totally different from the simple lady he had met earlier.

Lei put more grace on her pace. She was bouncing her hips sexily, as if trying to seduce Luna.

How can Luna feel aroused when he was firmly tied on a bed? All he could feel was chills all over his body.

“You’re finally awake.” Even her voice sounded so soft and alluring.

“Why are you doing this to me?” Luna asked, trying to shake away the drowsiness creeping up on him as Lei climbed on the bed.

“Why?” Lei asked back, crawling on the bed sheet with a captivating smile. “I am Lust,” she sat between Luna’s widely spread legs and pointed a long sharp fingernail over his underwear. “All I want… is to have sex with you.”

She pressed her fingernails deeper into his underwear until blood oozed from the skin underneath.

Luna suppressed a gasp. He was starting to feel feverish.

“If you are in pain, let it be heard,” Lei gently stirred her bloody fingernail from his underwear towards his abdomen.

She playfully caressed each of his muscles before softly touching his nipples. She tenderly rubbed her fingers over them until Luna fidgeted and the muscle underneath his underwear hardened.

The smile on her lips widened as she bent over Luna and enticingly whispered, “Wonderful, isn’t it?”

“Let me go, please…” Luna weakly begged as his eyelids felt heavier and the rest of his body moved against his own will.

He should not be enjoying that craziness, but his body was already taking pleasure from her seducing strokes.

“I know you don’t want that,” she softly breathed in his ear before her tongue teasingly traced his neck down to his collarbone and back to his nipples, while her hands slowly traced his abdomen down to the hardening and aching muscle inside his underwear.

“Let go…” Luna kept on pleading as he struggled against the pleasure weakening him and the cords binding him. He kept on pulling the ropes even though his already beaten arms started bleeding.

The pain in his arms was keeping him from entirely submitting to the delight Lei was offering him.

“Stop resisting, Luna…” her voice turned from alluring into threatening then she firmly grabbed his face and kissed him hard on the lips.

Luna closed his eyes and struggled harder against the ropes.

“I said, stop resisting!” her fingernails pierced his cheeks but that never stopped Luna from trying to break free.

“Stop harassing my twin brother.”

After hearing that deadly yet comforting voice, Luna heard a loud thud and the next moment, Lei dropped unconscious over his body.

“Sol…” Luna breathed with relief and he finally stopped struggling.

“Free you brother.” Dad was also there to save him. He carried Lei out of the bed, lay her down on the floor, and tied her with a rope he was carrying.

Sol pulled a dagger from his backpack and cut the ropes connecting Luna to the bed then, as carefully as he could, untied the cords tightly wrapped around Luna’s arms and legs. He also took the bracelet off his twin brother.

“Where are your clothes?” Sol asked, looking around the room.

“I don’t know,” Luna sat up but could not hold that position for long and he dropped half-conscious on the bed.

“Here,” Sol removed his hooded sweater, carefully clothed Luna’s upper body and covered his head with the hood. He also removed his long-sleeved shirt and wrapped it around Luna’s waist to cover his underwear that was stained with blood. Then he supported his twin brother out of the bed. “Dad, let’s go.”

Dad securely knotted the ends of the ropes behind Lei, removed his office suit and tossed it at Sol, and then he carefully put Luna onto his back, hurried out of that mansion and onto his car.

Sol sat at the backseat with Luna while Dad steered the car as fast as he could.

“Luna, I’m sorry,” Sol remorsefully uttered as tears filled his eyes.

“I’m not mad…” Luna said, leaning on the headrest with his eyes closed. “Just don’t set me up with anyone anymore.”

“I won’t. I promise,” Sol sincerely pledged.

Luna weakly smiled and opened his heavy eyes. He glanced out of the window and noticed that they were not heading home.

“Dad, where are we going?” Luna curiously asked.

“You need to see a doctor,” Dad seriously replied.

Luna wanted to argue but he was too exhausted to start an argument. His body was aching all over.

“Sleep,” Sol said and Luna only nodded before closing his eyes again.
