YAMIRA
"Hume Marne ke liye toh aapki katil aankhe hi kafi thi, toh ye khanjar kiske liye?"
(Your deadly eyes were enough to kill me, then what purpose does this dagger have?)
What is he saying?
"Chalo, ye bhi theek h. Kal raat humne aap pe khanjar rakha, aaj aapne humara katal kar diya."
(Okay, that's fair. Last night I kept a dagger to your throat, today, you killed me.)
He raised his eyebrow when I didn't answer him.
"Cat got your tongue?" He asked.
I gained my composure and was about to push him away when in an instant, he grabbed the wrist of my other (left) hand and spun me around.
My back now pressed against his toned torso and I realised, he wasn't wearing anything on his upper body.
His chest was bare and I was standing against it.
I reached up to his chin. He was so close that I could smell his scent.
Musk is now mixed with the roses and lime.
I could get lost in his smell.
I hate it and love it at the same time.
He was holding the wrist of my left hand behind me, his grip was not tight, just firm enough so that I couldn't move.
The dagger was now in his hand and my right arm was just hanging in the air.
"I swear, you really do love to play with knives, don't you?"
He whispered in my ear and a shiver ran down my spine.
"Don't you know darling, they are d.a.n.g.e.r.o.u.s.....Look at this now, princess."
I turned my head to look at his hand holding the dagger.
It seemed so small in his hands.
And in a few blinks, it was gone.
Melted just like the candle wax.
His Golden flame was too magnificent and I could see it for just a moment.
Too beautiful, too lustrous, too dangerous.
Just like him.
I was about to push him away with my free hand but he grabbed my bangle-adorned wrist.
"See what I can do. As I told you, these petty weapons won't be enough to kill me. Next time, use something more......you know what, I can't think of anything that would be enough to even harm me. "
That Arrogance!
How can someone be so, so!.... arrogant!!!
I lowered my head a little to take a deep breath and quickly hit my head to his chin with all my power.
"Agh!" He groaned and his grip on me loosened a bit. Enough for me to escape.
I stepped away from him as much as I could before my back touched the wall behind me.
He recovered rather soon and looked back at me.
His eyes shined brightly as light morning sunlight entered the room and illuminated his features.
He looks even more divine.
"W-what are you doing here?"
I finally found my voice even though I'd like for it to be a little more firm.
He stepped closer to me. I tried to move further away but the wall was of no help.
My eyes lowered to his toned muscles.
Looks like he trains a lot.
No one has that body with just a few hours training a week.
He must devote hours every day to it.
And, not gonna lie, I can totally forget everything and just look at it all day.
We were inches away when he caged me in between his long arms.
My eyes caught his again just to find that his honey orbs were scanning me from top to bottom.
And I realised that I was barely wearing anything.
The water was opaque enough to hide most of it but still.
My muscles contracted and I took in a sharp breath.
My body is betraying me.
Focus YAMIRA!
He is your enemy!
"Well princess, hate to break it to you but.....it is MY bath, and you are MY wife, I can be here whenever I want." He said, after bringing his gaze back to my face.
What the hell is wrong with him? Just last night he....
"Well, it was me who was here first. I am taking a bath, so I'd appreciate some privacy."
He smirked AGAIN.
"You are my wife, and if you ask anyone, I am quite confident they would agree that this is perfectly normal for a husband and wife."
My cheeks reddened at his choice of words.
I don't know what to say to him.
He is impossible.
"You know what, I am done here, so you can spend your entire day here for all I care, your highness."
I spoke in the most polite way possible.
I slipped away from him and grabbed my towel and quickly wrapped it around me as I got out of the bath.
I could feel the heat of his gaze on me as I walked towards the dressing room.
I quickly wiped my body and wore my clothes.
I like to do my work myself so I didn't call for Navita.
The smell of musk was still on me.
The reminder that I was so close to him.
My enemy and the man who hates me as much as I do.
I know he was just playing with me.
That sly fox!
I need to be careful. Super careful.
Here's another chapter!!
