He was really angry making me freeze. Wasn't I the one that's angry? I'm still holding his hands holding the ties to my dress causing us to have a standoff of some kind. I look at his golden eyes that watch me with a predatory look and I slowly remove my hands allowing him to undress me.
He waits a breath or two before slowly loosening the strings never breaking eye contact. I try and steady my racing heart but it's a losing battle. When the dress falls down his eyes finally look away taking in my body. His eyes first hold a smoldering heat but it's quickly replaced by a cold light when he sees all the bruises.
I bring my hands up to hide but he gentle grabs them kneeling in the process. He lays gentle kisses on each bruise making me shiver. He doesn't say a word but quickly stands up stripping off his own clothes and before I have a chance to get a good look he already has me in his arms and walking into the warm spring water.
The water is so warm it almost burns my cooler skin but the feeling doesn't last long. I try to push away and stand on my own but Rune refuses to let go. I can feel his anger and with him being so quiet it was slightly unnerving. I'd rather have him yell at me or throw things around.. with him being so quiet.. it reminds me of a jack in a box toy. I hated those things as a kid... who am I kidding I still hate those evil things.
He finds a spot to sit and places me between his long legs and I try not to think about what my ass is touching. My cheeks were completely red and if anyone ask.. it's from the hot water... not the hot fuming fae. He pulls me back to rest against his large chest as he cups the water in his hands and slowing pours it over my shoulders.
He was bathing me?? I wanted to ask what he was doing.. why he was doing this but I couldn't bring myself to say anything. He's always been so kind to me I've never seen him like this and it was killing me. My anxiety was shooting through the roof. He gently sweeps my hair off to one side revealing my neck and shoulder.
He leans down and presses his lips to my shoulder causing me to shiver and bite my lip as goosebumps break out all down my arms. He replaces his lips with teeth making me gasp at the sudden pain and his arms tighten around me keeping me in place.
