The Lazy Life Of Raine

Cannon Fodder (11)

When Nero came back he immediately entered his room and waited at the door. He gazed at Nyx while she cultivated and his heart felt so full, just by looking at her. She was his beginning and end. His world began and ended with her. He could never have another, because Nyx was it for him. His be all and end all. He knew, from the moment he saw her, that she belonged to him, just as much as he belonged to her. Everything felt right and just when they were together.

Nero came inside of the room and bent down to kiss Nyx's lips, however Nyx's hand covered his lips and stopped him.

"Dare come near me with the stench of another woman's scent on your body?" Nyx said as she slowly opened her eyes.

Nero's eyes opened up with surprise. How did she know?

"Don't misunderstand..." Nero began to say.

"So are you saying that I'm lying about another woman's scent on you?"

"No! That's not what I'm saying."

"Is there or isn't there another woman's scent on you?"

"Yes, there is, but I ---"

"Ah, so I was right!" Nyx said as she stood up glaring at him. "I've trusted you every time you walked out those door that you'll be true to me."

"I have---"

"Never once, have I questioned you or suspected you."

"You don't have to, I lo---"

"And yet, today you come back with another woman's scent on you and try to kiss me with her smell all over your body?!?"

"It's not what you think." Nero began to say as he panicked. "It's a misunderstanding. You see what happened was---"

"Go take a bath." Nyx ordered him. "A long bath and make sure to wash every inch of your body. The smell of her on you is displeasing to my senses."

"I--" Nero wanted to clear the misunderstanding, however Nyx didn't give him a chance.

"Still not going when I'm being nice?" Nyx warned him. "Or do you want to see me more displeased?"

"Go... I'll go take a bath, but don't jump to your own conclusion at what happened. It's all a misunderstanding. I love you, Nyx. I haven't betrayed yo---"

"I see you want me to get mad, huh? Is that the only way to get you to do as I say?" Nyx threatened him. "Want me to say it again and again? Want to talk to me with another woman's scent on you and ask me not to misunderstand or get mad?"

"I'm going... Going..." Nero could only say as he left the bedroom into the bathing room to see the bathing tub full of hot water that was already scented with rose oil.

Nero quickly undressed and jumped into the tub and washed himself until his skin was red.

"Every inch!" Nyx yelled from the bedroom.

Nero did as he was told and washed every inch of his body. He wrapped himself in a towel and walked out of the bathing room after the water had long turned cold. What he saw caught him by surprise.

Nyx stood in front of him with leather straps wrapped around her body like a harness. The leather straps hardly covered her body and only showed off her skin and curves.

"Drop your towel and kneel." Nyx ordered.

"Nyx..." Nero gruffly whispered as he swallowed his saliva

"After having a woman's scent on you, you no longer want to listen to me?"

Nero immediately dropped his towel and knelt. His hands were on his thighs as they formed fists. He could hear the loud thumping of his heart as his enchanting and commanding woman slowly walked towards him with several strands of silk belts.

"What are you doing?" Nero finally asked as he found his voice again.

"Teaching you." Nyx told. "Keep your hands where they are now and close your eyes.

Nero did as she asked and could only feel the soft silk belt tie around his eyes.

"Teaching me what?"

"Bring your hands to your back." Nyx ordered as she tied his hands together, behind his back. Nyx leaned down and her soft, warm body was barely touching him. Nyx saw Nero slightly shiver from her closeness.

"A lesson."

Nyx whispered to Nero's ear.

"I'm not a magnanimus woman. My heart is actually really small and selfish. The man I choose to be by my side, can never look at another woman. Can never love another woman. Can never touch another woman. Nor can he let another woman look upon him, love him, or touch him." Nyx warned him. "And yet, here you are, coming into our home, with the scent of another woman on you, because you let her hold you."

"Nyx. Please don't misunderstand...."

"Hush." Nyx told him as she bit his lower lip before slowly licking his lips. "Since this is your first mistake, in this lifetime, I'll forgive you, make another mistake like this again, and I'll kill you myself."

Nyx gently kissed Nero and their lips created a storm inside of Nero. He could feel his body tingling with anticipation and felt shots of lightning all over his body.

"This is also to teach you that you belong to me. Understand?" Nyx said as she kissed his jaw.

Nero nodded his head in agreement, however Nyx wasn't happy with his nonverbal answer.

"Use your words. Do you understand?"

"Yes." Nero quickly said. "I understand."

"Do you trust me, Nero?"

"I do."
