Cecilia's heart pounded faster knowing the fact that he had discovered her plans.
But she was not backing down. It was worth a try.
"You look... Tempting, my sweet bunny"
He whispered hoarsely in her ears still holding her to himself.
"I think I will have to keep a closer eye on you... I don't want men flocking around you. It makes my bloodlust high"
He whispered in her ears and she couldn't help but shudder in his arms.
"Zach...Sorry, Milord. Can we..."
She spoke gently but was interrupted by his domineering chuckle.
He pulled her closer to himself so that their both bodies were now touching.
"Let's go, Milord"
She said softly after his chuckle.
She did not like the way he held her in his arms.
But who was she to complain?
She was his slave after all.
She thought.
His both hands reached to her buttocks and he squeezed them slightly making Cecilia jolt.
She didn't know when she raised her hand to hit him on his face.
Thud.
A slap.
On the king.
Her eyes widened as she ran towards the door to escape to find it locked.
He was barely fazed by her hitting him as he stood in the same position he was in before.
"You hit your king?"
He asked gently but that was enough to make her eyes well up...
She did not know what to do.
"I am..am sorry"
She whispered as the tears rolled down her cheeks.
"Rubbish"
His voice echoed in the room, but looking at his face, she could spot no emotion.
She knew she was doomed.
A little smile broke on his lips as he stared at the girl who was clutching the door like her life depended on it.
"I already locked the door. No escape now, bunny"
He said, making her confused.
When did he get to the door to lock it?
She asked herself.
"It's a wonderful evening, right? I don't want to miss the soiree. When we get back... No, in the carriage, I'll punish you. I'll place hickeys all over your slender soft neck as your punishment for hitting me"
He deadpanned while Cecilia shuddered...
She knew there was no way out.
Except for running away during the soiree.
He took his long strides until he got to her.
He clasped her little hand in his as they both left the room.
It was an hour's drive to the east. During their ride in the carriage, Cecilia didn't look at him, instead, she looked out of the little window that was carved. And it also seemed like he wasn't paying her attention.
Soon they got to the East Lord's house.
It was a mansion.
Cecilia got down from the carriage with the help of Zach.
When her eyes met his, he gave her an aloof look.
"Milord"
She called gently.
"I am thirsty"
She continued not waiting for him to reply.
"What do you want to drink?"
He asked her.
"Water"
She replied and he nodded.
"Let's get in first"
He deadpanned, then holding her hand, they entered the building.
It was crowded with lots of elites all dressed in clothing that only the rich could afford.
His arm was around her waist as they both moved to the section of the house meant for the soiree.
She could see the sophisticated ladies all raise their shoulders high in pride as they walked.
She wondered why Zach even brought her along with him.
But it was a good thing, as this was her chance to escape.
They hadn't even walked far when women started bugging Zach.
"You came, I thought you wouldn't, Milord"
A girl with black hair and jade eyes spoke to Zach with a smile.
"I missed your wedding, I would not miss this, Emilia"
Zach's inert voice spoke.
Cecilia realized this was the Lord's daughter whose soiree they were attending.
"I understand, you are very busy"
Emilia smiled as she spoke.
"Who is this you brought with you, Milord?"
Emilia inquired now looking at Zach's arm that was around Cecilia's waist.
"Meet Cecilia, my girlfriend"
Zach said to Emilia, only for her smile to widen.
"Nice to meet you,u Cecilia. I am Emilia Lukas"
Emilia introduced herself.
"Same here, Emilia"
Cecilia smiled back.
"You are a lucky girl to have the King courting you"
Emilia continued.
Cecilia's smile died down hearing Emilia.
"I think I should go now, my father would be looking for me"
Emilia gave Zach a bow and walked away.
"Courting? You're not courting me. Why did you let her say that?"
Cecilia questioned him.
"Sweet bunny"
His voice came out ragged, while she rolled her eyes irritated.
In no time, women flocked around Zach. And with his expression, he was enjoying it.
Some of the women even went as far as to kiss him on his cheeks and touch him here and there.
Cecilia rolled her eyes at the women's behavior.
"Water"
Zach called and a waitress brought water to him.
He collected the water from the waitress and handed it to Cecilia.
She could not believe that he remembered her thirst when she did not even remember.
"You remembered"
She whispered for a little smile to etch on his face.
"I wouldn't forget something as important as that"
He deadpanned and then continued to speak with the women. Once in a while, some of the women would throw her glares because of Zach's arm that was around her waist.
After gulping the water, she returned the cup.
to the waitress.
The talks and giggles were becoming too much for Cecilia to handle, so she decided to step away from him for some time.
The only problem was his arm which was firm around her waist.
"Can you leave my waist? For some time"
She whispered in his ears amidst the talks, but he ignored her.
Rolling her eyes, she tried moving her body away from him, to discover that his arms had gotten more firm on her.
What was wrong with him?
She asked herself.
She tried moving from him again, but this time, in a brisk move, his palm pressed her buttocks- making it the second time that evening.
Her eyes flew to look at him, to see an amused look on his face as he spoke to one of the ladies.
Cecilia thanked her stars as she felt no one saw them.
"Milord, it's a public place. Why pressing her?"
One of the women who had short wavy brown hair and blue eyes asked.
Oh, no...
Cecilia thought
Someone caught him in the shameless act.
"I can't help to squeeze her ass once in a while, Georgia. It is just too soft to resist"
Zach spoke, a hint of amusement in his voice.
Cecilia became dumbfounded.
Not speaking because she did not know what to say.
Does he have to be shameless all the time?
She asked herself.
"And besides, she likes it. I mean who doesn't like being squeezed? It stimulates something in the body"
Zach continued, but a look of mischief engulfed him.
"Or don't you like it, Cecilia?"
He finally threw her a question.
Now all eyes were on Cecilia, waiting for her response
