He looked at me with a funny look as if he was laughing internally at my horrifying expression. Wait a minute? Was he lying to me? His face didn't give away anything but there was a possibility of that.
I scrutinized my eyes on his face and saw him biting his lip.
"You are lying, aren't you?" I asked him with my evil eyes. As soon as I asked this, he burst out laughing, and it was the most beautiful sound that I had ever heard.
"Nope, I am telling you the truth. You should have heard of what you were saying last night. You were moaning my name, and you completely took advantage of this poor soul." He told me with an innocent look. I could say that he was lying from the way he was looking at me. I frowned at him and smacked his head with a pillow.
"You are lying!" I yelled at him and kept on smacking him. He burst out laughing and he didn't look like he was bothered by my pillow fight.
"You should have seen your face. You looked mortified as if you killed a cat." He told me in between his laughs. I stopped smacking him and looked at his joyful face. For once, he looked like a normal human without his usual stoic face.
"Since when did you become so playful?" I muttered under my breath but he heard me and stopped laughing, but his smile was still present on his face.
"Since I met you," he replied me with a boyish grin.
"Are you being serious right now? You gave me a hard time as being your secretary, and you would look like you have swallowed a cactus whenever I speak to you!" I complained to him with a frown.
"'You' here implies, you as in Adeline, not the fake Mr. Sandros." He replied coolly and gave me a smug look. He seemed unfazed by my accusation. I made an 'O' with my mouth at his answer.
"Even though you didn't take advantage of me last night, I would love it if you take advantage of me." He told me with his deep husky voice. Suddenly the air around us was thick with sexual tension. His gaze was unwavering and intense. I couldn't look away from him. He was not laughing at me anymore, he looked serious. 'Taking advantage of him' the word rang in my head repeatedly, causing me to blush like a schoolgirl. I could feel my entire face heat up at his suggestion.
"I-I am going to take a shower," I squeaked like a hamster and ran into the bathroom in a lightning speed. I could hear his chuckle behind the closed door.
**********
We all were traveling to the entrance gate of hell which was located to the east of Transylvania. I had no idea at what place this was located, but I heard that we were going to forest premises which meant, we were going to an abandoned place where people were not living.
I was dressed like me. When I opened my closet this morning, all I saw were women's clothes. I didn't know how he did that, but I was grateful that he bought some clothes for me. I was so done wearing this three-piece suit.
We all were traveling in three, Willy's jeeps, Jedrick, Cerberus, and I on his black jeep, Helena and Victor on theirs, Grudgecous and Skull on one.
The windswept my hair away from my face; both sides of the road were covered in dense forest. The climate was warm but it was cloudy. I felt at peace and felt like I was on a vacation. Jedrick was driving our jeep and I was enjoying the scenario with Cerberus on the back.
"Like this place?" He asked me as he took a glance at me.
"I love it!" I replied enthusiastically and grinned toothily at him. He gave me a breathtaking smile and our jeep entered into a beaten path.
"Hold on tight." He warned me.
Before I could hold on to anything, our jeep was literally jumping due to the muddy road. He was driving into the forest and there was no road here, it was just a muddy path. I was squeaking and whimpering. if it was not for my seat belt, I would have fallen out of his jeep.
"Jesus! Can we walk!!" I yelled through the noise that was caused by our jeep.
My head was spinning at this point and my stomach twisted with unsettlement. I felt like puking my guts out. When I looked at him and Cerberus, they looked unbothered by the bumpy road, of course, he was not a human after all and Cerberus was not a normal dog.
"This is the fastest method for us to reach there." He informed me. I felt so exhausted and I was squirming on my seat restlessly. I closed my eyes to stop my nauseous feeling but it only worsened.
"Jedrick! Please stop!" I yelled at him as I clutched onto his bicep with closed eyes. He stepped on the break and our jeep came to a halt with a screech.
"Hey, are you okay?" his voice was laced with concern but I couldn't respond to him. For a moment, I neither opened my eyes nor took my hands off his bicep.
I slowly unbuckled my seat belt with my shaky hands. As soon as I unbuckled my seat belt, I stumbled out of his jeep and puked my guts out.
"Shit!" I heard him curse under his breath and he made his way to me and gathered my hair in his hand. Cerberus barked at me as if he was lending me his support, then he rubbed himself on my leg. I petted him on his head and focused on my breathing.
Just a moment ago I was enjoying our ride and suddenly everything went down the hill and I was feeling sick now. He rubbed my back soothingly.
After my soul came back to earth, he offered me a bottle of water. I rinsed my mouth thoroughly and gargled the water to get rid of the foul smell from my mouth. I was a bit embarrassed that I puked in front of him.
"Are you okay?" He inquired softly, rubbing my back. I nodded my head at him.
"I should have stopped the first time you asked me to stop." He told me, his voice was laced with culpability.
"It is okay, can we please walk? Pleaseee!" I asked him with a puppy face.
"Sure." He responded with a sigh and his phone rang.
"Victor," he addressed the person from the other side.
"There is a problem here, so we stopped here," I kind of felt bad for holding him back.
"I think it will take us some time to reach there, you guys go there first and make sure to hide the place. We will be there as soon as possible." With that, he hung up his phone.
***********
I was heaving by the time we were halfway through, "Have we reached the place?" I asked him as I tried to control my breathing.
"Nope," he answered me with amusement on his face. He was silently laughing at my discomfort.
That little devil!
Why was I even accompanying them, they don't even need my help, for god's sake!
But when I asked him about this, he told me that he wanted to keep a close eye on me. Huh! He was doing this to torture me. I threw daggers at the back of his head. He and Cerberus were way too ahead of me while I was sweating like a pig and trailing behind them like a damsel in distress.
"Wait for me!" I yelled at them and tried to move fast. He stopped and looked at me with raised eyebrows.
"You are too slow, Mr. Sandros." He teased me with a tantalizing smirk. Suddenly he looked at Cerberus and did some communication with his eyes. He didn't even open his mouth but his hellhound understood him and ran off ahead of us.
"Where is he going?" as I asked this, he took long strides towards me and lifted me in his arms as if I weigh nothing. I squeaked and wrapped my arms around his neck on instinct.
"W-What are you doing? Put me down! I can walk" I protested with wide eyes. He rolled his eyes at me and began walking with me in his arms.
"If I let you walk, I don't think we will be reaching there anytime soon." He responded to me coolly and ignored my protests completely. I pouted at him and stopped complaining like a little bitch. Well, he was correct after all, and it was nice being carried by someone so I relaxed in his arms and let him carry me.
