Chapter 22 - : Little Dragon ( Zeo )

[Warning : a little mature content.]

I was really exhausted when I came back to our room. Those long talks with Lady Synthia and other officials were really wearying. It was hard to explain to them why our other guests( Millia, Nathan and Ross) hadn't arrived with us. Obviously, I didn't give them the details of the real case. Informing other clans of the attack on our Clan Leader would provide with them the opportunity to criticise the Clan's power in the Royal Court. Even though the Flora Clan are our close allies, I should handle the case with caution. Rumours rise and spread like fire.

"It was a sudden decision. Millia had decided to help dad with a case that required his intervention back at our clan." I had told them.

"May I know what caused the Clan Leader to make such a hasty decision?" One of the officials had asked.

"I hope sir, you do understand that our cases are our classified matters. I do not believe that it is something necessary for you all to learn." I had replied confidently.

"May I know who was that other unconscious that came with you. Is he your other servant?" Young Lady Lia had questioned later. My face cracked with the annoyance I felt at that suggestion. Elliot, a servant?? But I didn't dare show any of my emotions. I pasted a fake smile on my face and said:

"No, Young Lady. His name is Elliot. He is my close friend and had decided to come with me so that I could have company. I hope you don't have a problem with him."

"Of course not. We warmly welcome him." Lady Synthia assured me.

"There's just one more thing." Another official interrupted. I turned towards the voice. The guy was rather young to be an official.

"Why was this friend of yours unconscious when you arrived?" He asked. I thought for a moment for the best believable idea.

"He was just tired from the journey so I let him sleep." I declared.

"He could have woken up to at least pay respect to our Lady." He reasoned.

"I just hoped that my lady would not give heed to such a case. I was the main invitee, after all." I told them and turned towards Lady Synthia to gain her assurance. She gently smiled at me and after having dinner with the Clan family, I was dismissed.

When I came back Elliot was still in bed, probably sleeping. I changed my formal clothes and sat down at the bed. I wasn't wearing any upper shirt then. My upper body was bare while I wore some loose trousers on my legs. I didn't have my clothes here so the servants had provided me with some comfy clothes. The annoying thing about these clothes were they were all having some flower designs over them. I can't wear something like that !!

I stared at the tiny Elliot tucked up under those thin blankets. There were some Klves flowers on the table. They weren't there when I was here before. Did Elliot bring them?? I smiled widely. The idea that Elliot still remembered these flowers to be my favourite was like a beautiful dream. I slid on the side of the bed beside Elliot. I wanted to touch him and feel him

I slowly slipped my hands across his tummy. It felt so soft and warm. I pulled him a bit closer to my body. When his head touched my chest. I felt as if I was on cloud nine. My face flustered a bit as I held his body in my arms. It kind of felt like I was spooning him without his consent but I just didn't want to leave this place. It was like a second heaven. The warmth of his tiny body, the smoothness of his skin and that aroma of his body.

"You smell really sweet." I heard myself say. And I can't deny it. His body did smell a bit like those Klves flower. He also had a little of strawberry smell on him. But what intoxicated me the most was his real smell. I can't describe how it felt. It was the most refreshing smell I had ever smelled. I felt my exhaustion evaporate. What does he do to me??

I waved my hands through his soft, wavy brown hair. It felt like they were made of silk, refined by the most skilled cloth makers of nature. I rose up a little to get a view of his enchanting face.

I traced that round face, curved a little at the tip of his chin. Those thin and full lips, those smooth

cheeks with a blush of pink, those thick eyebrows arching like a smile and that arched nose. The only and the most beautiful thing that I couldn't see were his light blue eyes, deep and spellbound. I wish I could see them...but then, if I could see them, I wouldn't be able to have a close look at any of these features. How tragic is that!!

"And then...you are so unnecessarily cute." I added to my earlier comment.

I sighed a little. His skin was as smooth as a woman's but at the same time more beautiful than any woman. His eyebrows and eyes were as deep as a man's and yet more handsome still. Elliot's beauty was unique in its own way. It was incomparable to anything or anyone. How can someone be this perfect?? Was he even real??

"Elliot Eves I think....I am really falling for you." I accepted. To be honest, I think I had fallen for Elliot from the first time I saw him beside the lake, drenched in water. Maybe I just couldn't accept those feelings. I can't really be sure if I accept them now. Do I really like Elliot?? Is this how liking someone feels??

I suddenly felt a subtle movement from Elliot. I loosen my grip on him. He turned around and buried his face in my chest. He nudged a little at my chest, probably smelling me and then hugged me. He clung to my body like a baby. I was actually momentarily stunned, but then I felt it all. Yet how can I explain how I felt at that moment?? My heart was literally jumping and leaping, my blood rushing in my face and my smile as wide as ever. I held him back in my arms again. I could feel him. Every inch of my body was screaming in joy and cheer. Can this be a dream?? Even if it is, I don't care. I just want to stay like this...forever. I turned off the lights and kissed Elliot's forehead.

"Goodnight, Strawberry." I whispered. This was a nickname I came up with just now. It really suits him. He is the sweetest strawberry I have ever seen. No, he is my sweetest strawberry. I slowly shut my eyes and let myself be lost in the embrace of those tiny arms.

The next morning, I woke up to the chirps of birds and the morning light of the sun. As I opened my eyes I witnessed the most beautiful sight I ever had. Elliot was still there, held in my arms, sound asleep. So last night wasn't a dream, after all??

I don't have any idea how long I kept staring at his cute, sleeping face. I wish I could witness such a sight every morning. Only a glimpse will be enough..I can't tell you how hard it was for me to leave this place. But I can't let Elliot know that I had hugged him last night. So a little disheartened, I let him go and got out of bed.

As I stood up, I noticed something down there, between my legs. There was a bulge in my crotch, an erection. My little dragon had risen. No, not just risen, it was hard and big. I don't usually have morning woods but this was quite the one. Wait! Was this because of Elliot?? I felt kind of disturbed at this. I had just hugged him one night and this was the result. What will I do to him when I become something more to him, though I doubt that will ever happen. I grabbed this dragon from over my trousers.

Ahhh~ I silently mourned. It really felt sensitive. My hands slowly traced down its size and started rubbing it as a reflex. This dick was rock hard and roaring to be somewhere specific. Some low, soft mourns still escaped me as I bit my lower lip to prevent them

"Zeo. Why are you standing there like that?" I heard Elliot's voice say from behind me.

Shit ! Shit! Shit! No! I can't let Elliot see me like this. At Least not in this pervert state.

"I...I a-am..just going -to freshen..up." I shuttered as I tried to force this little monster down. Why don't you listen to me?

"Are you alright?"

"Me...Ye-s..I am..fine..o.f course ." I shuttered again as I swiftly walked away from him in the direction of the washroom.

"Umm..Zeo." Elliot called me with a bit of hesitation.

"Did you say something to me yesterday?" He asked me.

I froze in my steps, petrified by this idea. Wait! Did he hear whatever I said to myself last night?? No, it can't be. It must not be.

"Umm...I-I...don-n't remember e-xactly..I th-ink I was-s drunk-k last night." I lied and more than you feel it, I felt hurt lying to Elliot.

But what could I do? I am still not ready to accept these rising feelings I have for him. What if I hurt him again? What if what I feel is not what I think it is? What if Elliot doesn't feel the same way for me? I am not ready for this upcoming rejection. Atleast, not yet.

I walked away and closed the washroom door in a flash. I stood there at the wall, catching my vigorous breaths as I tamed this little monster of mine. As I was rubbing my thing, for a second, Elliot's face flashed in front of my eyes and suddenly, I exploded my thing out.I am really going mad. My breaths slowed down a little. 'You have to keep control of yourself around Elliot.' I told myself.

After that I washed up and went on with my morning activities. As I came out of the shower, I didn't see Elliot anywhere in the room. Instead, there was a woman sitting at my bed, her feets dangling down. It was Young Lady, Lia.

I was kind of enraged that she entered my room without my permission. She should have respected my privacy but I didn't say anything, just greeted her with a fake smile.

She stared at my half-naked body and I would say, I felt kind of uncomfortable and insecure with her gaze.

"Good morning, Young Lady." I greeted her, hiding my true emotions.

"Good morning, Young lord. I want to ask you if you would like a small walk with me around the halls of this mansion." She requested, though by her tone it didn't feel like a request.

Since I didn't have much of the idea of this building, I thought it was a good idea if I could use some help. Also, I needed to look for Elliot. He doesn't have much knowledge about this place either. I just hope he isn't into some trouble by now.

"As you wish young lady." I agreed.
