𝗧he mild, diffused light gifted him the visuals of Mili, mindlessly biting on her lower lips, locks of hair falling on her distressed face. Her entire focus was on that silly phone in her daring hands as if that little device could help her cross the Devil she had enticed.
Isn't she old enough to know how to behave in front of a man? Daniel questioned himself. It was the first night at Lorenzo's place, Daniel was alert in all his senses with numerous things running in his mind. He sensed Miliani by his side for a long time. He was just holding himself back to examine the lengths of her little courage.
Beads of tears began accumulating in the corner of her eyes on their own accord much before Daniel could say anything. Why she tries to come up with her 'childish rescue acts' if she cannot even stand a mere stern look from him? With a swift movement, Daniel sat up on the bed, his icy blue eyes not leaving Mili who was crouching down on the floor.
"What you think you are doing, little one?" Daniel's sleepy voice sounded even deeper, raspier.
Her lips quivered as she attempted to answer but words refused to make any outcome. Little did she know, her assumptions would turn out severely wrong. Mili looked anywhere but his questioning face, not knowing what to do. What angered Daniel more than her doings, was her intentional delay in answering him. He had warned her once about not making him repeat the same fucking thing, he was not going to tolerate such, again.
Mili's breath hitched being startled as she suddenly found Daniel's terrorising arm collecting her up from the floor with one fluid motion as if she were some rag of cotton. Her body dangled against his, his mobile still clutched in her hands as he moved her along, effortlessly.
"I-I couldn't slweep .. I-I j-jwast wanted t-to play g-games," Mili mewled through her stammered breaths while being carried away by him, her words becoming incoherent forward.
"Enough!" He commanded, putting an instant restriction on her useless mewl. Daniel did not mind paying any heed to her appeasement. This fussy girl had been being extra mannerless since the evening, defying him was a blunder, also touching his things without his permission. She needed to be disciplined severely. Pushing the door of the bathroom, he deposited her in there. Her body stiffened in his arms as the cold tiles touched the softness of her feet.
"Good luck playing games with yourself, bunny .. just make sure to not disturb my sleep," he gave her a sly smirk before snatching his mobile away from her hand and slamming the door behind before she could react to any of it. Mili banged on the door a few times but received no response and with the passing of time, she lost the courage to continue making noise on it anymore.
