The Demon's Bride

Chapter 147: In The Dusk-II

Elise blinked. Once. Twice. Before she felt her blood rushing to fill her head. Master Ian seemed angry but just now, did he praised her? She wasn't wrong. Ian had called her to be more beautiful than flowers. This was the second time Ian praised her to be beautiful and like the first time, she felt her heart elated with his words.

Ian knew Elise had lived differently than the ladies he met. She lived in the house of the Scott's sheltered from romantic feeling and it was what made her shine better than the ladies who could only smile and exchange words like a doll. Her soul was free and the innocence she had only urge other men to desire her. But he wouldn't let anyone to touch her.

Elise was someone God had given to him. Though he never like the oracle or the Gods, the girl they sent as bride to him was perfect. She was someone who he was searching for. The touch of her skin, her eyes that looked at her with the sincere pureness only made her more special to his hollow heart.

Ian moved one of his knee forward, settling it between her legs that make Elise's eyes to shake. Her breaths growing shallower as her heart turn rapid fast. She didn't know what to do in the situation where she was locked under Ian with no way to move. With how close his knee was to between her legs, she tried not to look at Ian by turning her face but that action wasn't allowed as Ian lifted her chin and turn it so their eyes would meet.

"I think we should take a seat Master Ian," Elise suggested, splash color of red covered her cheeks. If they keep on settling on the bed with Ian pinning her, she didn't know if she would pass this event without anything happening. Numerous of thought filled Elise's mind and most of them were the ones she thought as naughty.

Ian could tell what was running on Elise's mind. It was easy to tell from her expression what she fantasies she had now. "Why? I think we are fine in the bed, it's cozy and warm," as he spoke, Ian's thumb which was on her chin glide down to her neck and stop at the valley of her collarbone.

Elise's breaths shuddered. She didn't know what was going on with her body and could not keep check with her emotions that kept brewing with Ian's slightest touch.

"Unmarried man and woman should not settle in one bed. It would be..." Elise gulped to curl her lower lips, trying to find the right word.

Seeing his sweet girl lost her words, Ian pulled his grin, feeling better to see how in tune she was with every of his actions, "Scandalous? Or indecent?"

Elise didn't reply, she couldn't bring herself to with the shyness which affect her nerves to chaos. Did Master Ian expect a girl to answer his question?

"Sweetheart Elise, unless I do something a man would like to do to a woman, ruffling their beds all night long, touching you until you cry for my name, and do the whispers of the night activity you have never heard but only make your own imagination, you shouldn't feel this is indecent." Elise felt his knees slowly moving up, pulling her long nightgown and her legs closed over each other. His words had the effect to rouse Elise in a feeling she had never before.

Elise was at lost in the overwhelming emotions. When Ian was afar that she only get to see him from the window of the castle, she wished for the distance to shorten but when he was close, she felt as if she couldn't brief and every nerve in her body was erratic.

"Unless you are thinking of doing it with me now?" Ian questioned her. He didn't keep his eyes to tame. Unlike his hand and knee which he barely move and touch the private places of her, Ian took the liberty to watch the curve of her body. Seeing the sweep of her breast and what was colored there.

Elise bit the inside of her cheeks and pulled her hands to her chest to have Ian's eyes moving even lower before bringing it up to meet her eyes again. "Only marriage couple could do those..." Elise didn't put an end to her words. The situation was making her head dizzy.

Even though winter in Warine was harsh, somewhere Elise felt the room was too hot or perhaps it was her body that was heating up. "Or people who are with the same feeling," added Elise and her lips quivered while her eyes staring at Ian's red ones.

"Which means we need to have the same feeling for each other," Ian said in amused where Elise's eyes turn hopeful. "What else did the vampire do than taking to you?" Ian asked cutting the conversation they smoothly. "This time tell me whatever he did down the smallest thing. Did he touched you?" On the question, Ian's red eyes turned fierce before her and intimidating air came to lace his voice.

Elise who was pinned under his arm on the bed felt the situation was getting out of hand. She didn't know if she should move and her heart felt thumping even louder than she was at the cliff. Elise opened her pursed lips and shook her head, "He didn't but," Elise drawled her lips quivering when she saw Ian's face was just a few inches from her.

It was hard for Elise or anyone to keep their eyes away from Ian. His handsome face and strong feature only melt one's heart when staring at him from afar and now Elise has to look at him with the distance of a palm of a hand. With both Ian's hand over the side of her face, Elise had no way to go.

"But?" Ian saw her biting her lower lips and leaned his face forward for Elise to try sinking her head even lower to the pillow her head settled at. "Continue, Elise. Don't stop talking now, you are making me very curious."

"He kissed my hand." she whispered. She didn't know if this was what he had asked for and saying it only made her fingers to curl.

"Which one?" he asked before bringing her right palm to his hand for their skin to rub. "This one?" Elise questioned why Ian was asking which hand had been kissed whole she nodded and she saw him drawing in his brows. "Did you follow my instruction and washed your hands, Elise?" when Ian called her by her name, Elise realized how often he called her by her name now.

"I didn't. We were at the market at the time and there was no place to wash my hands." she confessed.

Ian drew his brows, his finger pushed and squeezed her hand with slight pressure and rubbed on the plump flash before her wrist. "Humans are weak to the point where germ would harm them to an untreatable illness. Vampires makes most case of germ as they love to drink blood, you have to be careful. I would not like to see you fall ill from a vampire's carelessness." His eyes met hers fiercely as if to take every expression she made to say, "I will let you go this time but not next time Elise. If the vampire came to find you again, avoid him."
