CHERRY

"And you are to never leave this castle again! What were you thinking, child?" My mother chastised me.

She made a trip to my room last night to find out I was not there. This morning after breakfast, she confronted me about my whereabouts in the throne room, and of course, I tried to lie about but I recently just learned that the gold bracelet I always wear was not only a symbol for protection but a tracker.

I was forced to tell her about going to Raver's party with Victoria. I made sure to leave out the whole 'being touched by a male Infernal' part. My mother was having a fit now, just imagine her if I told her about that. She would most likely pass out and my father might go on a killing spree. I decided to spare myself that kind of trouble because I knew I would be next.

"I just wanted to go and support my friend," I told her with the truth. Last night has been the first time in months since I have seen my friends in person.

"We understand that Cherry, but please don't do that again." My father spoke up this time. "You had us worried. Especially after you rushed out on us during supper."

I smiled. My father was always more understanding than my mother. She worried too much and I still love her for it but she needs to let me do things I want to do at times. I always do what she wants. I go to my lessons, I dress the part, and I try to act in class. Can she just move past my little choice of going to my friend's birthday?

"I'm sorry I rushed out last night. I was..." I look down at the glazed marble floor of the throne room. "upset."

I heard my mother sigh. "I guess we can pardon her from this. Raver and Victoria are good kids and I trust you were near them for the couple of hours you were gone."

It was partially true until the end but I will go with it. "Yes."

She stood from her throne and walked down the long stretched few steps and stopped in front of me. I stood in the center of the throne room and my mother stood in front of me with a smile. "I just want what's best for you, daughter."

I gave her a small smile. "I know."

She draws me into her arms and holds on to me for a moment before pulling away. "Go take a nap. We have a special guest joining us for supper tonight."

I nod and gave my parents both a respectable saying before taking my leave. I was in my chambers within moments. I decided to take a bath first. My chambermaids got it all together for me and sprinkled my favorite bath salt, honey, all over the porcelain tub. They left me alone and I disrobed myself and pinned my hair up. A few white strands fell along with the fiery flames. I slipped into the warm tub and my muscles instantly began to unwind.

I was completely submerged and I rested against the small pillow on the edge. I moved my arms around the water to mix in the salt some more. I paused when black ink came into my line of vision. I lifted my wrist, bringing it closer to my face. It looked erotic in my opinion. It complimented my red skin well.

"When you are alone, say 'Gold'." The sound of the hot Infernal's words echoed in my head.

I hummed in wonder. Why did it specifically have to be gold?

Just thinking back, I tried to envision him without his mask. His jaw structure was well defined and kinda looked familiar in some way. His black eyes were...pure seduction. I'm sure if I saw those eyes again, I will be doomed for eternity. His biceps were all thick muscles and defined well with his deep shade of red skin. His abs looked as if the ones that created him took their time to create such a magnificent male. And his v-line...gosh was he something. I bit my lip at the reminder of his hard male part below. I know something about the male anatomy but it could not prepare me for what I felt.
