Not a Slave!!!

Chapter 31

*Alastair Pov*

"What did I do now?" I questioned her with confusion lurking in my head.

"What did you not do?" She again questioned back, which she has been doing from the moment she stepped inside.

"Bhairavi! I am tired, so tell me what other mistake I did and I will apologize." I replied shaking my head.

"How dare you make yourself get attacked those many times? Don't you know that you should also think about your safety?" She asked stepping near me.

"I do not understand." I replied in a whisper.

"You put yourself before all the warriors. How can you do that?" She questioned with her rage raising more.

"Is that a wrong thing to do? I thought you would be ecstatic if I do that." I replied with a frown.

"I would be ecstatic? For what?" She asked now having a frown over her face for herself.

"You care for your people more than anything. If any warrior's life is lost, then his family would be sad which would have made you sad." I started saying and her eyes widened.

"Alastair!" she mumbled, trying to stop me, but I shook my head not wanting to stop.

"You sacrificed them for me, but now you are their ruler. I do not want to see you in sadness anymore and want it to be taken away at any cost. I thought at that moment taking all of them safe to home will make you happy and will reduce your anger little more. I am not saying that you have to forgive me for doing this, but you will in a way feel that I want to be beside you even in ruling this Kingdom." I continued to babble with tiredness ignoring the way she mumbled and moved her hand to stop me from talking.

And I did stopped my talking when she pressed her lips to mine making me still a little before pulling her to me kissing her with passion.

I thought she would pull away or even push me, but she returned it and taking it as an encouragement I traced her lips with my tongue. When she parted her lips allowing me to take the kiss to more, I plunged the tongue and pulled her more to me not wanting to leave her at all.

However, we both needed to breathe so I released her and we both started taking air inside. As I am still holding her I waited for to be pushed, but she didn't making me smile at her.

"I thought I was the one who does crashing the lips thing, but seems to me that you too learned how to do it." I mumbled and felt her blushing a little, but she composed herself before getting a glare ready in her eyes to throw at me.

"Do you think I will be ecstatic to see your lifeless body? You should try to return home in safe not the other way around. You are a great ruler to think about the people, but they know how to fight and sometimes we cannot save everyone." She uttered and I nodded.

"I know! That was a stupid thing to do on my part, but I did not want to make you more angry with me." I explained.

"I was more sad than angry. I am scared that you will again ask me to leave and I get dreams about them." She explained and I saw tears forming in her eyes.

"I would never! When I was searching for you and not finding you at each pirate ship I felt like my life squeezing out of me. If I have to chose either to leave you or my life, then I would leave my life." I uttered staring into her eyes.

"Ok!" she mumbled stepping back removing herself from my hold.

I thought she would walk away, but giving me another surprise, she started removing my tunic with her one free hand and I helped her even though not understanding why she is doing it.
