Chapter 19: Restraint...
Lucien
Kara comes to me to inform me that she has already led Lyanna to her room.
Great.
"Thank you Kara. You have done a great job."
"Thank you, sir, I'll take my leave now," she bows slightly, then walks out of my study.
I lean back in my chair, feeling a corner of mouth turning upwards.
"Happy now?"
'Let's go pay her a visit.'
Lucas. The horny bastard.
I shake my head, "No. You better behave yourself, Lucas. You shouldn't scare her."
'Stop being so boring and let's just pay her a visit. What rude host wouldn't check if his guest is alright?'
I suck my lips in, angry at the fact that he's actually right.
Reluctantly, I rise to my feet, heading towards the door.
'Do we get to taste her too?'
I shrug, "No."
'You want her as much as I do. Stop denying it.'
I ground my teeth, clenching my jaw hard, "Shut up."
'Keep denying it. Loser.'
I almost pound on the wall in fury, but I control myself. There's no point in arguing with him.
With a heavy sigh, I make my way to her room.
Arriving at the door, I hesitate, feeling a slight jerky sensation in my chest.
Did my heart just skip a beat?
"No way," I take a step backwards, "This won't work," I turn on my heels, ready to retreat to my study.
'Go inside!'
Bracing myself, I turn the doorknob, and peek through the small space, checking to see if she's inside. Seeing no one, I fully open the door, scanning the room.
"Hmm, where is she?" I go inside.
The smell of cinnamon and clove hits my nostrils strongly.
The scent that drives me insane.
"She's not here. We should go back," I whisper, turning back.
'She's in the bathroom!'
My eyes sharply turn to the bathroom door, and a grin spreads across my face.
"Interesting," I chuckle softly, closing the door behind me, "Maybe coming here wasn't such a bad idea."
With calculated steps, I saunter towards the door, a feeling of maddening excitement rushing down my veins.
There I stand in front of the door, hearing the sound of water trickling down on the floor.
I slowly place my hands on the doorknob, then turn it gently.
Click. It opens.
This time, the scent of cinnamon and clove is so strong, wrapping around me like a warm hug.
I let myself into the bathroom, knowing fully well I'm not supposed to be here, but it's just so hard to ignore.
I feel Lucas howling, and groaning, wanting to taste her so badly. With all his growls, I can also feel my restraint on the edge.
There she is.
Bare. Inviting. Just temptingly delicious.
No wonder what ever she wears look so good on her– even though I would never say it to her face.
She doesn't see me, as her back is facing me. So I slide up behind her, unnoticed.
"I didn't know you would be this tempting when you're naked."
With a jerk, she spins around almost immediately, her eyes almost out of their sockets.
"You jerk! What are you doing here?!" She squeals.
Heat floods my cheeks as my eyes drop to her full, bell-shaped breasts.
I press my lips together to stop the hiss that would escape it. I can already feel my legs throbbing with need– no this is lust Lucien.
You should leave.
"You're.. not so bad," I twist my lips.
"Why are you here?" She scrambles to get a towel but I grab her arm.
"Hold on. Don't be like that princess," I find myself pulling her closer.
"You should stop. This wasn't part of the deal."
I look down to meet her frightened eyes, pleading with me.
"Are you a virgin?"
There's an uncomfortable pause, then she looks away.
"Yes?"
"Yes."
A part of me clicks. Then I back away, "Oh. I didn't realize," i shove my hands in my pockets.
"I'm sorry," I turn around, cursing myself inwardly.
This stupid Lucas, see what he has caused.
Uncomfortable silence envelopes the room, its weight pressing on me making me appear like a horny old man who hasn't been ridden on in years.
"Lucien wait," I hear her soft voice behind me.
I look over my shoulders, "What's the matter?"
She plays with her fingers, biting her lower lip, "Uhm, did you want to say something to me?"
"Well, not exactly," I shake my head, "But.. you are beautiful."
Her eyes widened at my words, and I can see the red halo forming at her cheeks.
"That doesn't mean I like you, but then it's the truth."
A small frown forms at her forehead, "You're a big jerk."
I just sigh in response, and turn around.
'Why won't you let me touch her? She's too perfect to be ignored.'
"We can't do it without her consent," I mutter under my breath, heading for the door.
'"Before you go, I have a weird request," she speaks up again.
Now, she's definitely tempting me.
"What do you want?" I arch my brow to show her my impatience.
I have to leave her soon, or else Lucas might take over and do something nasty.
"Could you help me..." Her face reddens the more, "Could you help me lotion my back?"
I blink at her in disbelief, "What have you been doing all these years?"
"Washing the other very important parts of my body."
Lucas growls at the back of my head, urging me to go closer to her. His insistence is getting alarming, and I fear I might actually attack this poor girl.– well, I don't want to.
I finally close the distance between us, her scent urging me to just whip her closer, and make her wrap her legs around mine.
I clear my throat, reaching for the soap dispenser, cursing under my breath.
I can't believe I'm turning into a horny fool, but damn she is actually gorgeous!
Who knew faeries were this sexy?
"I'll be quick, then I'll get out of here," I make sure to sound firm to hide the fact my voice is trembling.
"Yeah sure. It's just that I have actually never done this before. I almost never soap my upper back hehe," she laughs nervously.
Who doesn't soap their back?
"You're the strangest creature I have ever met," my voice goes hoarse.
"Uh huh. Just do this, and you're out of here," she shrugs, turning her back to me.
Fuck herrr.
