The King's Obsession

C101 - Savouring the drops- Part 1

Lisa wanted to glare at him, but at the same, she didn't want to be put under another so-called punishment on her by Jungkook. The man was a master when it came to twisting and turning things that would turn in his own favour and somewhere Lisa wished she had the art to do it too. That way, she would be able to go head-on with this man rather than being caught and stuck in these kinds of circumstances.      

He hadn't moved his hands away from the wall, trapping her just where he wanted while not caring one bit if any of the servants would find him and her like this. And one of the maids did step out of the kitchen, and though Lisa wished to move away from him, Jungkook was having none of it. He then moved his hands closer to her, as if closing the space that she had in a way where he invaded all her space.      

"What shall I do with you now?" hummed Jungkook, "You said I could do anything I please. It is not every day that I get to hear you say something like that in my favour."      

"You know I didn't mean it in that way…"      

"Are you sure about it? Because with what I see and hear the words which leave from your delicate lips, you want me to do things," said Jungkook, the wicked smile playing on his lips, "I confessed to you that I am thirsty and you said to do what I please. How kind of you," he whispered to her.      

Lisa who had seen Somi leave this place a few minutes ago now wished Somi to enter back to walk through the very same corridor. Hoping that would get Jungkook to give her space. The man had conveniently skipped some words and had iterated only the words that worked for him.      

"I am not ready for it!" she said when his face moved away from the front of her face and went to the side, his lips falling right next to her ear.      

"Are you saying one day you will be? Shall I look forward to it?" came the question that Jungkook spoke into the shell of her ear. His words raised goosebumps on her neck, and when Jungkook's eyes fell on her pale skin, the smile increased to bring out the fangs in view. He could hear her heart beating in her chest, skipping beats in a rhythm which was music to his ears. The sweetest melody with every breath she took in and out. He noticed them all as he had never seen in any other woman before.      

Lisa bit her tongue. Every word she spoke, turned not in her favour. At this rate, she considered to be mum and not speak another word to him.     

But Jungkook was not having any of it. He wanted to poke her, wanting to commit mistakes so that he could use those mistakes to his own advantage. He was no saint but a person who was made out of cunningness, and he used it like no one else in the Kingdom of Devon or any other lands. Pulling away from her, he caught hold of her wrist.      

She didn't know what Jungkook wanted, or maybe she knew, but she was not ready to acknowledge because it scared her. She felt herself being dragged away from the corridor. Jungkook's hold on her wrist was firm but not tight enough to bruise her skin as he tugged her through the corridors and Lisa followed him.      

They crossed the corridors one after another, and she didn't know where they were going. The castle was a maze itself that would take a lot of time for a person to know where one was going without having to end up back in the same spot. Some of the servants who were walking had stopped to bow their heads, letting the King pass while not looking at him.      

"Where are we going?" asked Lisa, her heart starting to thud because this was a place which she didn't know or hadn't been here before.      

"You will see," came Jungkook's words which were calm and collected, a hint of mischief in there that turned her worried. Whilst she followed the King, her head moved left and right to notice the paintings that hung on the walls and the statues that were holding vases in their hands.
