HIS INNOCENT BRIDE

TWELVE

Taking a deep sharp breath and turned the knob of the door to enter the room but tonight it was a bit different as the windows were closed and the light were on. I was looking at his room for the first time as everything was dripping money from it.

There wasn’t much furniture but everything was in dark shades as the soda set at one corner of the room was in grey color with white cushions perfectly placed on it. The headboard of the bed was also in grey color with white colored sheets and same grey colored comforter. The curtains on the other hand were also in white color as his room lacked colors. There should be something like his forest green eyes.

I wished I could change his room setting but if I ever touch even the cushion on the couch, I can bet he would kill me right on the spot or at least break my arm.

I turned around on my heels to see what color of the scenery that was hanging beside the door only to shriek while jumping on my feet.

My golden-brown eyes landed directly into his forest green eyes and for the second time I had seen him naked. Well…not naked but only shirtless. I tried to scum to the side as if he wanted to walk past me but he didn’t and keep staring at me.

“Are you here to sleep?” He asked with no expression on his face but his eyes were like mischief in them. I am used to look into his eyes a lot. 

I realized his question soon before it’s too late just to shake my head in no with a dumbfounded expression.

“Then?” He was standing there with his hands inside the pockets of the trousers he was wearing. I looked at him with poker face as I honestly forgot why I was there in the dungeon waiting for the beast to just eat me out.

“I-I…actually…” The way he was looking at me gave me the thought that he had plenty of time today to waste on my blabbering. “The dinner is ready.” I informed him in one breath as I started looking down at the crease of my hands. I had a small cut while getting banana for the trifle as the cut could be seen on my finger. I didn’t talk about it to Suzi or otherwise she wouldn’t let me work again in the kitchen.

“Where is it?” He raised an eyebrow as it looks at the table of the small sitting area of his room to find nothing there.

“On the dining table.” I informed trying my best to not make my breath shaky or words tremble when he looked at me with those rage filled eyes.

“Are you saying that I have to go walk down there and eat it?” He looked down as he started taking steps towards me like a predator. I should have listened to everyone on the dining table but nobody stopped me when I stood up to take my own life with the hands of this beast.

“Yes. It can get cold.” With his every step I started taking my steps backward until my back hit the edge of the bed. He was inch away from me when I realized to gather some courage.

“You should come.” I said and tried to stormed past him but a shiver ran down my spine when he grabbed my wrist and threw me on the bed only for me to bounce a few times when he hovered over me. He rested his hands on my either side as he was so close that I could feel his nose touching mine.

“Are you ordering me?” He asked me in a whisper as his voice was gentle like a cold breeze that could freeze you to death.

“No…no…” I answered as I hissed when his hand trailed down and wrapped around my waist to pull me down a little as I was now directly looking at him in the eye. I tilted my head at the side to avoid eye contact enough for his breath to tickle my neck. My hairs were not in a bun anymore as they sprawled all over the mattress with few flicks kissing my neck.

My toes curled at the sensation when his thumb started rubbing my waist in a rhythmic movement while I fixated my gaze on the bookshelf. There were fewer books but all were related to the business and articles.

“But I felt like you did.” He rasped near my neck as his every touch was burning my soul as that was the feeling I had never endured before.

“No, I said you should. It’s like we request people but the decision is all yours.” I tried to make a point like I was giving lecture to the freshman year of college.

“I am a business man. I wouldn’t do anything unless I get a good proposal.” Was he drunk? Because he was sounding like that. He was too gentle with his movements and his voice was like always but still something changed. The fear in me was still there but it had been accompanied by confusion.

“What do you want?” I mumbled as my chin started wobbling. Everyone was waiting downstairs for us and I looked into dad’s eyes. He was expecting him to come and I wanted him to come with me and eat. Even he didn’t want to eat he should at least sit with all of us.

“Look at me.” He demanded in his authoritative voice but I didn’t listen. I wanted to run away from there as soon as possible. “You want me to treat you like a slave.” He said in his serious tone as he inserted his face in the crook of my neck.

A gasp left my mouth to echo in the silence of the room as I didn’t expect that. I placed my hands on his shoulder to push him away but all in vain. He took a sharp breath as if sucking me into him.

“F**K! You smell so good.” He said as he sucked in a sharp breath again but I couldn’t help but curl my toes as he groaned in satisfaction. It was like as if he was taking out all of his frustration by just inhaling me. He stayed like that for a while when I pushed him hard enough for him to look at me in the eye.

“F**K! Just stay still.” He said with his eyes dripping tiredness.

“Let me go. Don’t touch me.” I said as soon as tears started rolling down my eyes. His held a different wave of fury when I said those words.

“I think you are forgetting who are you to me.” He said as his jaw popped up while clenching his teeth. His inserted his face again in the crook of my neck but this time he took my skin beneath the ear in between his teeth to graze it.

I yelped in pain as he bit my skin followed by his tongue. He licked the same spot with his tongue making my tears to gain speed. Everything was so bad but still there was some strange feeling inside me that shouldn’t feel the way it was making me feel.

A groan left his throat vibrating his chest when he sucked mu same spot as I couldn’t help but arch my back into making toes curled into the sinful sensation.

“Let go…” I wanted to say but it came out as a moan when he kissed me before sucking me again there.

“Let me go please…” I tried my best to push him away but all in vain then a thought came to my mind as before thinking about it I dig my nails inside his neck to push him away but instead of backing away he groaned in satisfaction. I must have caused him pain but still he liked that.

“Let me go…” I pushed him again but this time he let go off me as he grip loosened around me when I pushed him away and almost stormed out of the room but not before stopping at the door to look back at him as he was sitting there with confusion and shocked in his eyes.

“You should come for dinner.” I said as a lone tear escaped my eyes and fell down as I looked at him in hatred and rage. Nothing changed in his eyes as I assumed he wasn’t coming for dinner.

“What took you so long?”

“We are starving?”

I came down after washing my face to remove the stains of tears from my face. The wobbling of chin was now under my control but my eyes were glossy with my lips turning pink because of aggressive biting on them before coming down.

“You shouldn’t have waited for me.” I said as I sat on the right side of Dad with Muzamil bhai on my left.

Suzi started serving everyone when she stopped in midtracks while serving Areej. She looked like as if she had seen a ghost. Her gaze was fixed behind me and the way she was looking I thought who it could be.

Is it really him?

Everyone first looked at Suzi then behind me but I didn’t. I didn’t want to look at him ever again.
