Mated To The Devil

Chapter 26: Temptress

Natasha's POV

The silence is deafening inside Valerian's car we take the road home.

I'm so glad that he got so busy earlier and he had to leave and attend meetings again. He wasn't able to give me my "punishment"
He was so busy until the day end and I have to endure my boredom all the time I was left alone in his office. I was so bored but I can't complain or come to Valerian's meeting again like I did earlier because if I do that it might add up to my "sin" again and it will just give him more reason to get his way to me.

I looked out the window.

I want to tell Valerian to drive slowly so I could enjoy the view outside but he drives so fast. It's already dark outside and lights are everywhere making the city so pretty. The city at night is just beautiful and hit different when it's night. It's like peaceful and alive at the same time. I would love to walk around outside sometimes.

Valerian always drives so fast like as if he's got 9 lives— I mean, he doesn't have 9 lives but he is immortal.

Valerian drives a sports car and also drives so fast. He will make you feel like you have a death wish if you're with him and he's driving.

"Are you hungry?" Valerian asked all of the sudden.

I shook my head without saying anything.

I feel kinda awkward after that intimate incident that happened between us earlier. And the fact that I actually contributed something to it just don't help.

Valerian glanced at me. "Are you sure?"

I nodded. "I don't know but I'm not hungry may be because you're always close to me," I answered without looking at him.

Valerian didn't answer after that but I suddenly feel like he was staring at me intently.

Several seconds go by and I'm getting really tense because of how intense his stares feel.

I swallowed hard.

I peeped in my peripheral vision and I was right. He's staring deep at me.

"Natasha," Valerian called my name. His voice is low but I managed to hear him.

I bit my lower lip.

"What?" I answered without removing my eyes off the window.

"Sit up straight, Natasha," Valerian ordered. His tone came out firm and serious.

I automatically looked at my lap and saw that my dress rolled up because of the way I'm sitting.
Fuck.

I quickly sat up straight and fixed my dress.

This dress is already short but got shorter whenever I sit and because of the way I sit, it exposed my upper thigh and I didn't even notice and feel it.

Fuck.

I cleared my throat.

I went back to looking outside the window but I can still feel Valerian staring at me intently.

Why is he staring at me?

I cleared my throat once again. "Stop staring," I said.

It took a couple of seconds before Valerian spoke.

"Do you want me to stare at you or your thighs?" Valerian asked. "Your choice."

Oh shit.

My heart started beating fast in my chest that I have to take several deep breaths to calm my nerves down.
