Prey of a Predator

Chapter 44

🌸🌸🌸🌸

I woke up feeling the direct sunrays on my face. I was still feeling something heavy on me and when I looked down, I widened my eyes due to the sight in front of me.

Henry's sleeping face was on my breasts and his hands were encircled around my waist like a snake. I tried moving apart but he tightened his hold and pulled me even closer to him and snuggled his head in my neck.

Just how much he sleeps? I looked at the clock and saw that it was already 9 am. How much did I sleep last night? I didn't even saw the clock last night when I came out of the bathroom due to this idiot.

I tried removing his hand again but he tightened it more. Now it's paining, I have to do something. I don't know what I was thinking when I reached the side table and grabbed a glass of water and taking some drops on my fingers, I put the glass in its place and flicked it on his face.

He woke in a jerk and encircling his arms around my head, he pushed it his chest while looking here and there for something. I started hitting his back as I was not able to breathe and he released me. He asked me if I did that and I nodded my head asking why he pushed me towards him.

He replied that he was protecting me as he thought that someone else did it. And he was just about say something about torturing that person when I kept my right hand on his mouth and glared at him saying that don't say such wicked things, first thing in the morning.

He licked my palm and I immediately removed it. He chuckled and got off the bed and went into the bathroom. I took my time to sit up and then proceeded to stand when I felt the pain on my neck. I, somehow stood up and wrapped my pallu over my neck and went to open the door.

As I opened the door slightly and peeked outside, a maid come in front of me, jumpscaring me. I almost took my step back when I heard her asking me if I need anything. I asked for a mirror and she went to get it while I shut the door.

After few moments, I heard the knocking and I opened the door. In front of me was the same maid with a mirror, I took the mirror and after thanking her, I closed the door.

I put front of my eyes and looked at my horrible reflection. I was just about to scream when I kept my hand on my mouth.

What is this? He really is a vampire. How bites so much? Like seriously, there are several red and purple marks all over my neck. My lips were swollen and there was bite mark on my lips as well which caused the blood. My hair was completely messy and my face was also feeling weird due to his licking of last night. When I smelled myself, I smelled like him, his cologne was all over me.

I kept the mirror on the table and after fixing my saaree, I went towards the wardrobe to take my clothes to wear after bath. I took out a beautiful pastel blue georgette saree which was simple yet beautiful.

I then heard the bathroom door opening. Oh god, he is done, now I can finally go in and wash his smell off of me. I closed the wardrobe the door and turned back. And the sight in front of me was just too much for me.

He was half-naked as in he was just in a towel which was on waist, rest of his body parts were bare and I found myself staring at his broad chest and his abs. Just how many does he have? I think more than any other man that I read in my books.

One towel was in his hand with which he was drying his blonde messy hair, rubbing it against it. And the water dripping from his hair and on his chest, made him look more hot but wait, Inaaya are you drooling over this man, the one who made your life, a living hell.

Yet, I was and when he looked at me, he noticed it. I dropped my gaze on the floor, preventing him to notice my red cheeks.

Then when I raised my eyes, he was infront of me. What? So fast? I dropped my gaze from his eyes to his chest and eventually to ground when he, with one hand, grabbed my jaw and made me look him in the eyes.

He then greeted me morning, I replied him back and tried to slide from beside him but he tightened his hold on my jaw and started rubbing his thumb on my cheek. He then left my jaw and started walking towards me and because I was already near the wardrobe door, I didn't have any place left to run to so I stayed there.

When he was satisfied with the closed gap between us, he again lifted my gaze towards his chest and when I wriggled my face, denying to look at it, he took my one hand and kept it on his rock like chest and stared roaming my hand from his chest to his abs.

I closed my eyes and felt my hand going over every bump of his ab and his broad chest. I could feel his smirk because he was enjoying this.

After god knows how much time, I jerked my hand away and told him to move. He, suprisingly did without saying anything and sat on the bed and signed me to come towards him.

I raised my eyebrows and asked him what he wants to which he replied that he wants me to dry his hair.

🌸 "Are you a child?"

🔥 "No, but you soon will have one."

🌸 "You-what? I swear, I will kill you, someday. Can't you do it on your own? I have to take bath."

🔥 "You can do it whenever you want as you will staying here for the rest of your life."

🌸 "Oh yeah? Then how about I take the bath after one year? Will that be pleasant for you?"

🔥 "I have no problem."

🌸 "You are really an idiot."

🔥 "Now, please wife. You torture this man so much!" (Fake wiping his tears)

🌸 "Drama queen"

🔥 "Whatever, now come"

🌸 "Yeah, yeah."

And I strolled towards him. The moment I reached him, he handed his wet towel. I dropped my clothes on the bed and after taking the towel from him, I started gently patting the towel on his head and eventually gently rubbing it. After few minutes of rubbing, I pulled back the towel and to check if it's dry yet, I extended my hand and roamed it in his half-dry hair. His hair was to die for, so silky and soft. His blonde hair was just looking like the morning cloud right now and the wetness was just perfect.

But I remembered my mission to take a bath and I removed my hand. I handed him back his towel and went inside the bathroom.

After 2 hours

I stepped out of the bathroom and saw that no one was in the room so I went near the table and grabbed the mirror and looked at myself. I look quite normal unlike earlier. I kept the mirror on a potential stand and fixed my pallu, mangalsutra and applied sindoor.

Afterwards, I went downstairs to have breakfast. When I reached the dining room, I saw that there was a blonde in his 50s man sitting beside Henry on his right hand side chair and beside that man was sitting a beautiful ash curly blonde haired woman who seemed like the same age of Henry.

When I entered the room, Henry's previously darkened eyes, softened and he smiled looking at me and forwarded his left hand towards me as if telling me to sit beside him. Meanwhile, that man frowned at my side and don't even ask about that woman. She was throwing daggers at me with her hazel eyes.

Okay, what is going on? Who are they?

Just then Henry stood up and came towards me. He took my hand in his and started guiding me towards my chair which was right beside his, on his left hand side. I quietly sat down and then Henry sat on the head chair.

I didn't want to interrupt their conversation so I decided to quietly eat and then leave. I looked at my plate and saw that it was poha. Wait-how? How did he? Well anyways, it's my profit as I don't even wanna look at what he is eating.

When he caught me staring at my food, he asked,"Do you not like the food, darling?"

Calling me Darling in front of them, I facepalmed myself. Henry then asked me what's wrong. I looked at him and shook my head as no and he understood. He then pointed towards the medium sized spoon on my right and told me to eat with that. I nodded my head and was just about to take it when I heard a glass smashing sound which came from the side of the woman.

What is wrong with this woman? Is she mad or what?
