Hearing the girl's soft plea, Demetri quickly loosened his grip around her waist, unaware of the pressure he was putting on her. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to." Demetri explained with worry. Scarlett was on the verge of tears and that made Demetri frustrated with himself. How did he allow himself to hurt her? Taking the girl's small hands into his own, Demetri placed a soft kiss on her fingers. "Look at me." Demetri said, gently, cupping her cheeks and turning her head toward his direction. "Now can you please tell me why you think like that?"
The silence in the air between them grew thicker by the minute, as Scarlett was unresponsive towards him. Afraid that she would anger the man before her even more, she truly did not know how to answer his question. So the only thing she could do was stay silent.
Letting out a devastated Demetri shut his eyes in an attempt to compose himself. He was not sure if he was doing the right thing, but perhaps showing her how he felt would help her understand. Taking a deep breath to inhale her sweet scent, Demetri gave her a soft peck on her forehead. Scarlett turned to look at him with confusion, however, he ignored her questioning look and continued to give her kisses on her eyelid, and then her cheek before leaving a trail of kisses along her jawline, and making his way to her neck.
Surprised by his ministrations, Scarlett drew in a deep breath as his lips left scorching hot kisses against her skin. "Don't." Scarlett said, before a soft whimper sounded from her lips, her hand instantly flew to his hand that cupped her cheeks, attempting to remove them so she could run away from him.
"Do you feel it, Scarlett?" Demetri continued, placing wet kisses on her neck. "Is your heart beating fast?"
She felt her breathing grow heavy and her heart pounding against her chest uncontrollably. Closing her eyes shut and gripping tightly onto her dress, she shook her head in denial of his question. She does not understand what he is doing to her, but for some reason she felt like she wanted him to do something more. Needed him to do something more than just kisses.
"There's no need to deny it, sweet. I can hear it. Your heart is beating so fast." Demetri whispered seductively in her ear, before giving her earlobe a nibble.
"Please." Scarlett moaned when she felt the pit of her stomach tighten. She squeezed her legs together, trying to relieve the pressure she felt in her stomach. However, she soon realized that doing that only made her feel like she needed more. Gulping down the lump in her throat, she wanted so badly to scream as she felt her body burn with an unforgiving rage. She had never felt this way before, and what she is feeling pained her in a way she would have never imagined could exist if she was not experiencing it for herself at this moment. However, in the midst of her heat, the man had suddenly stopped.
This girl's eye flew open the moment his lips left her skin. Seeing the lust in her eyes, Demetri let out a soft groan as he felt his shaft twitch in his trouser. "How you felt just now, that is how I feel every time I lay eyes on you. You are a little seductress, pretty. And you don't even know it."
Scarlett's eyes widened at his words, does he truly feel that way all the time? But what is it that she felt at that moment? She did not entirely understand what she was feeling.
"What you felt, is desire, my love." Demetri said, intertwining their fingers and placing a kiss on her temple, causing the girl's brows to furrow in confusion and disbelief. "There are times when people can be attracted to one another without a real reason, it's just natural and an instinct. Just like how you are attracted to me, without a true reason."
"Maybe it's because you treat me well. That's why I feel that way." Scarlett said, more of a question than a statement.
"Marion treats you well. Emelia treats you well. Are you going to go and give them a kiss?" Demetri questioned with raised brows.
"No." Scarlett murmured, timidly.
"And that is because you are attracted to me, as I am attracted to you. You are not my servant, Scarlett. I intend to make you the lady of my manor. I am just waiting for you to be ready before I can make that happen. I will not force you, I want you to want it for yourself too." Demetri said, truthfully.
"But I am a mere human girl, I will not be of any use to you." Scarlett spoke, dejectedly.
"That does not matter to me. Do not mistake me for the people from your past, pretty. I am not them. You are my equal because I say you are. And you will be my lady when you have come to accept that title. This is the last time I am going to hear of this from you. And do not think so little of yourself again, or I will truly be offended."
Hearing his unwavering words, Scarlett believed that the words he had spoken were genuine. With a timid smile, she nodded in response to his demand. If he was willing to accept her for who she is, then she would try and work harder to accept herself.
Seeing her nod in compliance with his request, he felt a sense of relief that the girl was no longer angry with him. Demetri pulled her toward him, placing her forehead on his. "Now, say my name."
"Demetri." Scarlett uttered, shyly.
With a satisfied smile, Demetri gave her a quick peck on the corner of her mouth. "Say it one more time."
"Demetri." Scarlett whispered against his lips.
The moment she whispered his name, Demetri instantly regretted asking her to do so, as he felt a rush down his spine, causing his shaft to twitch once more. Unable to control himself, he felt himself wanting another taste of her. To satisfy his desire, he quickly leaned into her and placed his lips on her. This time, his lips lingered on hers for much longer.
Feeling Demetri's soft lips on hers, as he began to lightly suck on her upper lip, Scarlett felt her body relax in his arms that were wrapped around her waist. She instantly felt that same tightening feeling in her stomach had returned, causing Scarlett to wrap both her arms around his neck and return his kisses. Enticing him to give her a little more.
When he felt her returning his kiss, Demetri tightened his embrace, pulling the girl in his arms closer. He slipped his tongue into the opening of her lips, gently exploring the sweetness inside her mouth. Scarlett tightened her grip around his neck, her body involuntarily squirming with her bottom rubbing against his already hard shaft.
Letting out a groan, Demetri swiftly lifted the girl in his arms into a straddling position, his lips never breaking contact with hers. He continued kissing her hungrily and passionately, as Scarlett gripped on to him for dear life. One of his hands traveled from her back, up her stomach, and rested on her soft breast.
Scarlett threw her head back and let out a gasp when he squeezed one of her breasts. And Demetri took this opportunity to latch onto her neck, gently sucking the soft skin on her neck. Scarlett felt her breathing grow ragged, and her body became hotter and needier by the minute. Unconsciously, Scarlett began rocking her hips back and forth, rubbing her core against Demetri in an attempt to relieve her desire. Demetri's eyes darkened due to her actions. If they went on any longer, he would not be able to restrain himself. However, he did not want to lose control and frighten the girl. He needs to stop now before he does anything he is going to regret.
"That's enough." Demetri uttered, reluctantly. He stood up from his seat and briskly hoisted the girl off his body. "We should bathe and head to sleep. You must be tired from having lessons all day." He continued to say before walking towards the door, leaving Scarlett dazed and still wanting.
