My ears had surely deceived me. I must have heard wrong, becuase surely, the great miserly Granite could not have said such words filled with feeling.
'What?'
Upon hearing my disbelief, his pinky finger twitched ever so slightly, one could even imagine he was embarrassed.
'What did you just say?'
'I don't like repeating myself Miss Linton.'
I decided that if he wouldn't tell me again all by himself, I'd have to help him. I walked slowly towards him, making sure the distance between us grew less and less as I strode toward him. All the while I made sure he had the deliciously malignant dark pools of desire some called eyes on me.
Once I was close enough to touch him, I placed my hands on his chest, and trailed small circles. I could still feel his gaze on me, like a wild predatory animal, only inches away from its prey.
'So you won't repeat yourself?'
He stiffened.
'No.'
'Then, if you won't tell me, show me.'
Once the words left my mouth it was too late, Mr Ambrose had already claimed my mouth before I could even take my words back. His mouth devoured mine, the kisses were forceful yet gentle, demanding yet giving. I wanted more, I wanted him to make me forget the horrible events of the day, I wanted him to erase it with his touch, to cleanse me with his lips. In each kiss was a demand, a plee, a wish, and every caress was satisfaction and fulfilment. It had only just begun and I already felt as if i wanted it to never end. He brought me to heaven and pulled me to sweet hell at will.
Our lips parted, and his eyes looked into mine. Lakes of blue engulfed me in a lulling wave of tranquility. This was what peace felt like. Then he spoke three words that lit my femenist heart for a second time.
'My beautiful ifrit.'
I felt for him. Feelings I thought I would never feel for a man, in my life. I loved him.
'Mr Ambrose?'
'Yes?'
'I love you too.'

You've all probably heard about Sir Rob's contest. I'm planning on entering this little fanfiction in the contest, so I'll have to edit some of the... nsfw parts😅 so I'll be working on it in the few days left of the contest. After the contest is finished, I'll publish the original version again. Thanks for reading, voting, and commenting!
