Davish-Ellie's chambers...
"Ahhh!! What the hell are you doing here?!" Ellie yelled at Amir who's eyes were rooted on the half naked Ellie.
"I'm sorry. I didn't know you were not...I'm sorry." He pleaded but Ellie wasn't planning on forgiving him anytime soon. Perhaps she could even use this to her advantage and make him stay away from her.
"This is a lady's room. Shouldn't you knock before entering?!!" She uttered angrily.
"Now leave!!!" She added, screaming her lungs out.
"I'm sorry." He uttered one last time before he left. He didn't know she was undressed, if he knew he wouldn't have barged into her room, but he did knock on the door, perhaps she didn't hear him or he didn't knock loud enough for her to hear. He sighed. He just hoped that she would forgive him. He placed his palms on his face and took a deep breath before he left...
Ellie was in her room still angry. How could he come into her room without knocking first?!! Or did he knock and she didn't hear it? She knew Amir, as much as he was a pervert, he still respected women's privacy. Well, this was for the better. She could now stay away from him for good now. She let a soft sigh out and she slowly dressed up.
After staying on her bed for a long while, she stood up and went towards her window. It was happening again, her thoughts were now occupied with Amir. Even after what had happened, she still isn't able to get him out of her head?!! Why? Why can't she break free from this spell he had cast on her? Why is she not able to stop thinking about him? She should keep her mind occupied for a bit. But the question was how? What could she do to make her thoughts not revolve around him alone? Maybe she could go horse riding. That sounds fun and it would definitely help her get him out of her mind.
Ellie nodded and she changed into a pair of trousers. When she was certain she was ready, she left her chambers and went out looking for her father so she could ask him for his permission to let her go out.
....
Elen and Alexander were walking side by side. Alexander's face was as grave as ever but sinfully breathtaking. He looked like the god of destruction at that moment. Anyone who would want to take a moment to look at him would flinch in fear, but his wife here, didn't even get scared in the least. He was totally stunned by her behavior but he knew that when she finds out the whole truth, she would start to fear him and that would be good.
Alexander pulled out a chair for her with a slight smile curved on his lips.
"Thank you." She said and Alexander's aura blazed uncontrollably. She shouldn't have said that!!
Elen suddenly realized that he didn't like the words 'thank you'. How could she forget that?! She should apologize immediately!! But why? Why doesn't he like those words? Should she ask him about it? No, she'll ask him some other time when he's in a better mood.
"I'm sorry." She said and the dangerous aura that blazed uncontrollably in the dinning hall seemed to have dissolved a bit. She sighed in relief that he didn't leave the table in anger.
"Don't be. Don't be sorry, you did not do anything wrong." He said causing Elen to crease her brows. What does he mean? She just uttered the words he didn't like and she apologized, so why was he telling her not to be sorry? She would never be able to understand this man and his mysterious rules.
"But I just said the words y -"
"Eat your breakfast and don't say a word about this anymore. Understand?" He said in a calm voice, but behind that calm voice was a storm planning to destroy everything when it gets triggered and Elen didn't want to trigger the storm so she just closed her mouth shut and didn't say a word as he had instructed of her.
He helped her dish out some food on her plate and he also dished some for himself too.
The couple ate in silence until they were done. Alexander ate a bit of his food and Elen was thankful he ate, unlike the last time he didn't even touch his food.
Alexander stood up and held his hand out to her. She took it unhesitatingly and gave him a bright smile. As much as her gums were itching to say 'thank you', she couldn't do it because she didn't want to anger her husband, so she just clamped her mouth shut.
They were out of the dinning hall and Elen was already expecting him to say he was leaving for some work but what she was expecting never came and she was beyond thrilled. But she couldn't celebrate so easily because he had already halted halfway through the halls. The thrill in her eyes slowly died down and she patiently waited for for him to speak.
"Do you want to go somewhere?" He suddenly asked and Elen blinked her eyes in amazement. She didn't see that coming! She thought he was going to order some of his men to escort her to her chambers and tell her he's going out for some work or something. Of course she'd love to go out!! Since she got married to him, she hasn't even left the palace to see the outside world. What was she even thinking?!! She hasn't even seen part of the castle! Why would she even think of going outside the palace?
"Uhm..I don't really have anywhere to go. Perhaps, you can just take me round the palace." She said.
Alexander heaved a sigh. He thought she was going to tell him to take her outside the palace, that would have been a lot better. There was hesitation in his eyes but he eventually spoke. "Fine then. Shall we?" He said and Elen nodded.
Elen gently placed her hands on his, he looked at her, and then her little hands on his. He let a soft sigh out and then he started moving.
He took her to his courtyard where some few soldiers stood there with their swords preparing for their training. Elen felt the urge to have a duel with one of them but she shrugged that off. She wanted to spend the whole day with her husband. She didn't know if she would ever find another way to make him stay with her like this, so that is why, she'll grab this opportunity and not let it slip away no matter what it takes.
They stood there for a while, watching the fight without saying a word to each other.
Alexander moved again but this time Elen's hand were no longer on his anymore. While she was concentrated on the fight, he had removed her hands with ease without her noticing a thing.
Elen saw his moving figure and she walked up to meet him. Though, he was walking super fast, she still managed to catch up with him without running.
When she was sure she was close enough for him to hear her, she called out his name.
"What is it huh? Are you tired?" He asked but Elen shook her head.
"Don't you have somewhere to go today?" Elen asked him.
"I do." He said and Elen just felt that it was unwise to ask him anything anymore.
"But, I want to spend the day with my wife." He said causing Elen's cheeks to turn red.
Well, that was not the whole reason he decided to spend the day with her. He wanted to keep her on his watch. He couldn't afford to let her get hurt so that was why he would stay beside her till he finds a solution to the impending storm that was going to befall them.
He took her to his garden and Elen's mouth were left hung open. This place...this place, it looked just like paradise, well, she's never been to paradise and she's not planning on going there anytime soon. But what could she use to describe this place? Paradise was the perfect word to use for this haven.
"It's beautiful." She uttered in her dazed state.
"Yes." Was all he said.
"Let's stay here for a while." She said, finally letting go off her dazed expression. She sat on a bench nearby. Alexander followed her of course, and they were both sitting on the perfectly decorated bench.
"Why? Don't you want to see other places?"
"I don't think I want to see other places anymore. I already know my sister-in-laws quarter and there's absolutely no need to go round the whole palace, it will tire me out and I'm sure you'll get tired as well so I'll just stay here and enjoy this beautiful view." She said giving out her long explanation.
Alexander stared at her for a while with a bemused expression before he let out a long chuckle. Elen creased her brows. Did she say something funny?!! No, then what is the reason for his amusement? She's sure she didn't say anything funny or did he perhaps find what she said funny? This is not nice!!
"You think I'll get tired just by walking round the whole castle? Who do you think I am? A powerless man? Rest assured, I won't even get tired if I walk round the castle for days without resting." He said causing Elen's jaws to drop. He wouldn't get tired if he walks round the whole castle for days? She at least wouldn't even last for hours! Or, was he some kind of supernatural human? She knew he had much strength but he's just human! Maybe he's a vampire! She heard stories from the maids back in her kingdom about vampires being very strong creatures. Although, they were created just for fictions and they weren't real, she couldn't help but think if her husband was a vampire. Is he a vampire? Or he's just trying to exaggerate the whole thing to impress her?
"Are you a vampire?" She foolishly asked him. She didn't even know when she blurted those words out, but it was too late when she realized. She just hoped that her statement doesn't anger him. He's in a good mood now and she doesn't want to be the reason to spoil it. So she opened her mouth to apologize but before she could say a word he gave out another chuckle which made her sigh in relief. 'Whew! I thought he was already fuming in anger.' She thought silently.
"So what if I am? What if I'm not? What would you do huh?" He asked her in an utterly sexy voice, but Elen didn't pay much attention to his voice, it were his words. Is he really a vampire? No, vampires are not real!! He's just trying to scare you!! She convinced herself but it didn't ease her fear a little bit. She shrunk back and moved a little farther from him.
Alexander found her behavior a little strange. She was scared because she thought he was a vampire but she wasn't scared when he had purposely scare her. He would never understand this wife of his! What was even going on in that mind of hers? He asked himself.
Elen's mind drifted to the stories her maids used to tell. They do say that vampires can disguise themselves as human but their real form was something that no one would want to see, she had also heard them say that they were bloodsuckers. They sucked human blood to survive and they were always active at night when the moon was shining bright. She glanced at her husband and the fear in her heart subsided. He had never sucked her blood and he was always around during night time, except for the time he disappeared for days.
What was she even thinking?! How could she think that her husband was a vampire?!! Vampires don't even exists!! Oh dear Helena, what the hell is wrong with you?!! She said inwardly.
She stared at the man beside her who seemed to be lost in his own thoughts. She moved closer to him and placed her lips close enough to his ear.
Alexander who was in his own world seemed to have been brought back by his wife's action. What was she doing? Is she trying to seduce him?!! One moment she's thinking of him as a vampire and another moment she's doing this to him!! What is exactly going on in her mind? He really needs to know!
Her hot breath caressed his ears. Alexander didn't know what he was feeling at that moment. It was as if his dead heart seemed to have woken up from it's very deep slumber. What was this woman doing to him? He wasn't usually moved by all of these things anymore but his wife can easily do that just by doing whatever it is she's doing now. What was this thing he's feeling now? He had made sure to turn his heart into an unbreakable stone. So what is happening now? No! He's just feeling these things because it had been a long time since he had been one with a woman. He convinced himself and it somehow made him feel at ease. He's just feeling this way because he hadn't f**ked someone in a long while and his desires had been awakened by his wife. It took him all of the self-control he could muster not to flip her over and ravish her like a wild beast and the fact that they were outside made him control himself a little bit.
"You're not a vampire, Alexander. Even if you are, you're my husband and I wouldn't care because I..." She trailed off. She was about to say those three magical words but something in her told her to refrain from saying anything for now. She would eventually tell him once the brewing storm is over.
"Because you what?" He asked with a shaky voice. His self-control was already at its peak and his wife was not pulling away.
"Because...I'm your wife and you're my husband." She said confidently.
"Hmm. My wife doesn't think of me as a vampire anymore. But she's putting in a lot of effort in seducing me today huh?" He said and that was when Elen realized their intimate position. Her lips were very close to his ears and her hands were hung round his neck. She didn't even know when she placed her hands on his neck!! She removed her arms from his neck and her hands touched his little brother who was already standing tall.
Elen gulped. It was poking out of his trousers and it was very huge. She wanted to look away but her eyes were glued to it. What has she done?!! She knew there was no escaping today! He was definitely going to take her today whether she likes it or not!! Yes, he's her husband. Yes, She loves him. But the problem was that she wasn't ready yet. She heard from people that it was painful for the first time and she wasn't ready to experience pain yet!! She had to talk to him first but before she could open her mouth to speak she heard his groan. A groan that was mixed with pleasure and pain.
"Ahh! You shouldn't have done that." He said but before she could say a word he scooped her up in his arms.
