I stopped us in our tracks by gently grabbing her arm and turning her to face me. Then I loped my hold around her delicate waist. Still, she has that glowing smile shining out through her eyes. Her lips curled into a mischievous smirk. The expression she has plastered on her face looked so sexy on her, I thought. Time passed by when she fixed those breathtaking eyes on me. She looked absolutely beautiful with the way her gaze lit up like candlelight.
I gleamed passionately and said smiling. "Alright, my sweets whatever makes you happy."
I'll allow her to have her way. All I wanted to do was stay dazed upon her dazzling enchantment. I could hardly resist my desire to wanna taste those precious sweet-full lips. There was this alluring tension between us. I was lost in her eyes like she was lost in mine.
Sally felt the same resistible tension pulling her too. She didn't understand what was happening between them. In her mind, she didn't get why she was behaving like this with him. For whatever reason, she felt like she wanted him. Yet, why is that when I am scared of him? She asked within herself. Why is he being so playful with me and I am feeding into this playfulness. She kept inwardly asking herself many questions. Yet, she heard no response. Only her heart leaped to feel his arms fondly holding her like this.
While she was seemingly lost within her mind. I brought our lips and noses closer together. Very gently, I brushed my fingertips alongside her chin and up the sensitive spots of her jawline.
Sally batts her eyelashes a few times as she felt her heartbeat just stop. She was consumed by his luscious-smelling cologne and tender touch.
Now she was the one lost in a trance. So since she tested my waters. Now it's still, my turn to test hers, I thought and leaned in even closer to her. Surprisingly, her head titles slightly with mine. We both felt are breath refreshing our faces while are lips were merely an inch away from kissing. But I halted from latching onto her lips that were taunting me. However, I wanted her to be the first one to touch our lips together. I didn't wanna erroneously overstep any boundaries. It's only been the ninth day since I've kidnaped her off Saul. So I restrained from making any additional moves.
My surroundings went into slow motion to see her eyes closed holding her dead still. But then my heart raced to feel her hands caressing up my torso. Excitement pumped through my blood and jolted more desire to taste her. Until I felt her palms push me away and her eyes opened up more clearly. The addled expression she had was gone. So I released her from my arms to show her. I am being respectful of her wishes. By respecting the fact she pushed me away. And I took three steps back from her.
"So what did you want to show me?" She asked me like nothing had happened between us. "Since this was your idea to drag me in here."
I chuckled to think she is definitely fighting her emotions with me. And I got the idea she thought for a second, I was going to kiss her. She doesn't have a clue, I am only testing her and observing everything about her. She is bold, sarcastic, playful, and certainly has some attitude. I am loving all her qualities I keep finding out about her.
Perhaps her getting taken by those scavengers played to my benefit. The scavengers seemed to make her draw closer to me. It seems like they spooked her enough that she is showing a new side of herself. For once it's nice to see her not show any fear towards me. But her fear still isn't necessarily a bad thing either. A wife's place is to submit herself to her husband. This is the Kingdom ways and soon she'll learn her place, as my wife, and will both rule this Kingdom together.
"Yes, let's keep walking," I replied still not giving my reason as to why we are in the woods.
Soon Sally and I crossed the berry garden we had inside here. Some of the berries naturally grow up a fence to help them grow and it helped to categorize the berry vines. Others sprouted up from the moist soil. The garden patch had a variety of different types of berries and fruits growing in it. Yet, I smiled when I saw Sally's eyes staring at it with amazement.
"This is where some of our natural fruits come from," I shared.
"Those berries look so delicious," She replied seeming to lick her lips.
I chuckled at her and said. "They are very tasty. The women and children come down here to pick the berries. Then we make food and drinks with them. Sometimes the men will come by and help too. In our Kingdom, we all work together."
"Oh, you actually go berry picking?" She asked turning her head to me to show this surprised expression.
I spoke with a smile, "if I am not too busy, I have gone berry picking many times with family, Nick's daughter, and I've even gone with my Highest-Ranked men and their kids at times."
Sally giggled and said. "Well, that's a little surprising to hear coming from you."
I was slightly taken off by her. She was quite intrigued and even had that questionable look in her eyes to say she wasn't sure to believe what I said. As we started walking away from the big berry garden.
"Now why would you say that?" I asked her, curious to know why she thought this about me.
Sally looked at me while we continue hiking and replied. I don't know, I guess sometimes you just seem so intimidating. It's hard to imagine you doing those kinda things." She paused for a second like she was deeply thinking about what she has shared with me. "Then again I don't know you. So I can't judge you."
