'You are poison for my heart, Young Master.'
Bai He Lian
***
"Xiao Er!"
Chen Sheng Lin's face looks so terrible. I can see his fear and worries. He called a name. XIAO ER. He touches the sword then it becomes red smoke in the air and enters unto his skin. I am so amazed by that scene, but I did not do anything as my energy was running out. The pain gradually disappears.
He embraces me tightly on his chest until I can hear his heartbeat clearly. He is not a ghost. He is still alive. He is a human too. I try to stay away from him since our position is too intimate, but I don't have any strength remaining in my body. What has he done to me exactly?
His embrace was too tight, and it is difficult to breathe. I realized that my upper was body exposed after he tore away my blouse.
"Stay away, please. I can't breathe."
"Just sleep." Why his voice sounded so calm and it makes me feel sleepy. I closed my eyes and fell into deep sleep. I can feel Chen Sheng Lin arms wrapping my body however I am so tired of confronting him.
***
I opened my eyes this morning and saw Chen Sheng Lin sleeping next to me. His heartbeat was so calm in my ear. Wait... What happened last night? Why am I in his embrace?
I pulled the blanket to cover my top body then looked for something to wear in the cupboard but I found nothing.
"Were you awake?" He asked and made me shocked.
"Yes." I answered.
"Bai He Lian, who are you?" He asked me a weird question this time.
"Who am I? I told you that I am Bai He Lian."
"Then I will know by myself and don't ask me if someday-", He stopped.
"What happened last night?!"
"I don't understand why you are asking me the same questions. You just need to remember that you are mine." He was smirking and approached me while I am still processing all about last night.
"What have you done to me?! Do you really want me to die? Why did you rescue me?"
"That's none of your business." Chen Sheng Lin stands in front of me and pulls my back closer to him. He looks so satisfied and his evil smile annoys me.
'How can I be free from him?'
"Don't think of running away from me because I will definitely find you and lock you in with me. Trust me, I will do everything that I said."
"Did you read my mind?" I asked but he remains quiet. "Just let me go! Just kill me now! That's better than you, insulting me like this! You always do something that makes me disgust myself! I don't know who you are, but you are hurting me always! You made me like a whore!"
"You tempted me first! Don't you remember that night! Didn't you kiss me first?!"
"But you know I was drugged that night! You know my ex-boyfriend sold me! You know the bad things come to me, but you still hurt me! Don't you have any compassion?!"
"No. A demon never has compassion, especially for my prey. Oh yeah, I need you to serve me right now! That night, we just kissed and that made me unsatisfied. So, don't think of escaping me again. I will lock you in this room until you never think of running away anymore." His icy words make me scared.
"Why are you so mean to me?!" I am so angry and annoyed by him right now. "I am not a whore, you know?!"
"I know. I am your first man."
I am shocked. I did it with him already? I froze and feel so numb right now. That drug made me do it. His palm cups my jaw and left me no choice except to see his face. I felt his tongue invading my mouth, but I was stiff. He drags me and throws my body on his bed.
Now I feel worse and don't know what I should do. I don't remember anything except his kisses that night and nothing else. I tried remembering but I still can't.
"Did I sleep with you?" I asked. Looks like the question made Chen Sheng Lin stopped.
"Can't you feel your own body?" He asked me instead. "The way your body reacts towards me like they understand who the owner is. You made an oath to me that night."
"What's the oath?" I am so curious about that night. I must find the answer. I don't care even if I have to die after this.
"Do you really want to remember about that night?" He asked.
That question makes me so curious and scared at the same time. I think, in this life, I made a big mistake after being drugged.
The color of his eyes turns crimson red, like there is a fire in his eyes and red fog starts gathering in the ceiling.
"Are you sure?" He asked again.
"Uhm."
The red fog creates scenes about that night like I am in a cinema. Chen Sheng Lin moves beside me from top of my body like he let me watch it clearly. Anyway, I also needed fresh air right.
"You can sleep now." Chen Sheng Lin said to me. Seems he lost his appetite when see me with the transparent red lingerie.
"How can I sleep if my body is like this? Please help me." I was begging him, but he looked at me with disgust. I don't know where my shame is now? How can I seduce him like a cheap whore?
"I will never touch yo-"
Soon I kiss him bravely with eyes closed. His lips are so sweet like an orange, my favorite fruit. I put his right palm on my bosom. How unashamed I am. He pushed me beside him
"I will change this night with whatever you want just help me. This is really a torture."
"I don't want to sleep with you. I will call Mei Hua if the poison is working in your body."
"You are poison for my heart, Young Master."
I kiss him passionately. His body becomes warm then gradually becomes hot, but I know he doesn't reply to every kiss. He really wants to kill me. I can feel his killing aura.
"Absolutely you will die soon." He smirks but I don't care. I am still busy with my worst kisses. I don't know why but I'm still alive after I kissed him. I know he made his sword appear in my back. That sword penetrated my skin. I don't feel something weird about my body.
"Tell me who you are?" He asked the same question again.
"Bai He Lian."
"I mean who are you?" He asked again.
"Bai He Lian!", I shouted. I am not sober yet and feel so frustrated. The fire keeps burning inside me and every single move becomes painful and exciting at the same time. I want him touching me. His palm is still on my bosom, but he did nothing. "Help me please. I need you and I will love you more. Can I be your bride?"
"Once you become my bride, I will never let you go despite you wanting it the most." His sharp gaze pinned me.
"Whatever you want, I will do for you just help me tonight, please." I begged again. This body betrayed me.
"Yes, of course. After tonight you cannot think of another man except me."
His eyes become wider, at least he is starting to caress my bosom and make me so addicted with his acts. This time he kissed me passionately at the same time I felt a piercing pain on my back. Like something was carved under my skin.
"Ah!"
That strange pain.
"Now, you are mine. You cannot run away from this moment onwards. You have to sober when we consummate our oath."
That pain almost causes me to faint, but it did not happen. Chen Sheng Lin removed my lingerie and made me completely naked. My vision becomes clear. I felt so tired and then he started spreading my legs and his intense kisses aroused my body. He holds onto my waist and makes me sit on his lap.
"Stop! Stop please!" I shout out loud at the same time he locked my waist with his. "I can't handle it."
"Didn't I tell you that I am your first man?"
"No. I don't want to!"
"The reason why your body didn't feel good was because you are thinking of another man." He said.
The scene from the red fog was still ongoing and made me stressed because now I remember about that night and how I became a whore because no one ever touched me before.
"So why did you touch me if you are still thinking of another woman in your heart?"
"She was gone."
His red eyes become normal again. His gaze became gentle.
"Bai He Lian, I don't understand why the oath works on you and from now on you can't be thinking of another man for the rest of your life and your oath will remain forever."
"Wait... What do you mean?!"
"The oath is binding us forever and you have to fulfill your oath."
"I still don't understand."
"Both of us are trapped forever."
