Francis stared at her, although her face was covered with the veil, her hands were bare and visible to him, he didn't know what to say, so he stared at her, he could have sworn, he knew her, she felt so familiar, like someone he knew, someone so close to him
Naya saw them and gasped, then she knew they couldn't see her expression thankfully, because she wore a look of shock, and longing, she wished she could see them without the veil, hug them, and kiss Theo, she couldn't take her eyes off him, he was gorgeous, his gray eyes shone, it was so lovely, so deep, so lonely.., and with an expression she had never seen before, his eyes held lots of feelings, like he was shook to the core, he stared at her, she wanted to move to him, to hug them, unable to take the heart ache anymore, then her uncle stepped up, digging his hands into her shoulder as she tried to take a step, she doubled over in pain, and Theo and Francis rushed forward, but she knew that her uncle could kill them, so she held out a hand to stop them..., tears ran from her eyes...
Francis!, Simon called out to his nephew, and he looked at his direction, noticing someone else in the room, since he came in, he couldn't take his eyes off her..
"Uncle, what brings you here?, Francis said stretching his hands for a handshake, but Theo didn't move,, he kept on staring at Naya.
"I am here on business, with my slave, he said pointing at Naya, she is a doctor I discovered in Asia, I bought her from her owners, so I brought her here to work for me, Simon lied immediately
"Oh..., from Asia, Francis said with dissapointment evident in his voice, but Theo kept on staring at her, not able to give up,
"Then can we see her, Theo said to Simon, I need to check something..
"Please tell your man that is rude, in their culture, they are not supposed to see men not their immediately family, Simon said to Francis, and looked at naya for backing, and she nodded..
"Okay then, can she please patch Theo up?, Francis said then held Theo's shoulder when he wanted to insist..
"Work on his shoulders, he told Naya, and she nodded moving quickly, the veil covered most of her neck, and stopped just above her cleavage, she had a pretty bossom, so ripe, and full, and her gown bodice showed her excellent figure, she had a nice body, Theo thought, just like Naya would have...
He watched her intently, as she cleaned the wound, his heart was thundering..
Naya couldn't believe she was touching Theo, her Theo, he was so big now, so handsome, she was sure he was married, she thought sadly, his shoulders so wide, and muscular, she longed to kiss it, she shook as she touched his shoulders, she rubbed her hands along his shoulders more than she should and his breath caught in his throat, his eyes filled with lust, and something else, she removed her hands sharply, and tried to concentrate on fixing his shoulders,
Theo felt her fingers on his back and he forgot to breathe, he couldn't help himself, her fingers were looking, so thin, delicate, yet felt so strong, and firm, he felt the softness of her skin, and he was lost, his body was suddenly feverish, her scent was clouding his thought he couldn't think straight, he didn't know anyone can make him feel this way and not seeing her face made it only more mysterious and hot, her owner was watching her with hawk eyes, he was even ignoring his nephew who was trying to hard to hold a conversation, so he couldn't hold a conversation with her, he was dying to hear her voice..
when Naya finished with the wound on his shoulder, she moved away from him, and stretched her hands handing him a vial..
"How do I use it, Theo asked her and went silent, waiting to hear her voice, he stopped breathing waiting, hoping, he closed his eyes remembering Naya's voice, when she laughed, when she drew closer to him and kissed him, and said it was just a kiss, he wanted to compare the voices
"It is to be used morning and night, Theo heard someone say, and opened his eyes quickly, it was her uncle that talked instead of her, why did he answer instead,
"If you don't mind I want her to answer me herself, he said with a challenging gaze at Simon, then his gaze went to her face, and he saw the tears fall down to her cleavage, he couldn't explain how he felt, his chest constricted... , she quickly bowed her head and wiped her tears, she was unable to hold the tears it was chocking her, so she ran outside, for air, Simon ran after her not will to let her out of his sight, and Theo and Francis followed, but the guards outside stopped her she was struggling to get away, they held her roughly bruising her, that did it, Theo rushed to punch one so angrily he fell, and Francis did the same to the other, they fought for her and Theo pushed her behind him, in a protective gesture, Francis and the other two men protecting her as well, standing in front of her, Simon watched angrily, and asked for his men to stop, raising his hands,
"Francis what are you doing!, Simon asked trying to stay calm
"I don't know, Francis replied, and looked at Theo, "What the hell are we doing, he asked him...
"I want to buy her, Theo said to Simon, looking at him with a hard gaze, I want her to be mine!, he declared, and Naya looked at him touched, her heart beating wildly, should she just reveal herself to them?, they looked strong now, but they were outnumbered and she knew that, she wanted them safe...
"I can't sell her!, I am sorry, Simon said still trying not to shout but doing a terrible job
"Yes you can!, he shouted back at him, name your price.
"Francis, it's my choice and I want her, no amount of money can buy her, so release her now or else!, he shouted signalling to his men, and Naya knew what she must do, to protect them, she stepped away from him, and Theo held her arm softly but firmly and dragged her to his chest, he tried to take of the veil, but Naya saw the archers hiding and ready to kill them, so she stopped him quickly, removing his hand, and then she kissed him, without lifting the veil, and he took a moment, but he responded, kissing her passionately, and still holding her like a fragile thing, she felt so beautiful, so powerful, seeing how affected he was, Simon drew her away from him roughly, but she struggled and broke free, then she ran to Francis and hugged him quickly, then she was crying, Simon came and yanked her away, this time she didn't fight, and his men surrounded them, as they tried to run after her...
"Francis leave here, now!, he shouted at him..
"Call your men to order, Naya hissed at him in a low voice, or forget about me, she threatened and he swallowed and signalled to his men to let them go, Theo looked at her, his breath still coming in pants, he was very affected and he wanted her!, he will protect her, he thought as he was running towards her, determined to fight till the end...
Then a man knocked him out, and when Francis rushed to look at him, to protect him, they knocked him out as well, then they left the two men to fend for them..
Simon walked to the tent dragging her as she was crying and wanted to check on them, so wanted to be sure they were fine,
"How dare you, Simon said as he slapped her hard as soon as they got inside, drawing blood from her split lips, she fell to the floor in the tent, and took off her veil,
"I don't think you should be hitting me, she said with spite, and spat out the blood
"I will do what I want, Simon thundered angrily..
"I wouldn't advise that, because I will make sure you regret it!, she shouted at him, and I will make you pay, and miserable, I will kill your family first!, best believe that, she said standing up and coming close to him, her eyes hard...
"I can see you feel like you are strong now, you are challenging me!, I will...
"Do nothing!, she said cutting him off, and if you do something stupid, best believe me, you will regret it!, she shouted at him,
"Remember I own you, and you will kiss no one ever again! he shouted angrily
"Remember that if I want to leave now, I can!, she retorted and he looked scared and shocked, then he stormed off, calling his men to wrap up so they would leave the area..., she was becoming something else and he had to take care of her before she got out of control... seeing her kiss that young man made him mad!, he wanted to kill him, he really wanted to kill him!, he was so jealous she was his, only his!
"Pack up!, now!, we are leaving!, he shouted like a mad man, and his men did as they were told quickly..
