Elysia was confused by Trustin's acts, she was unsure of what she had done that made him walk away without giving her an explanation of his actions.
She waited for him to come but when after a long time, he did not come back, she stood up and went to the bedroom. There she found him sneaking inside the room from the washroom.
She looked at him suspiciously and asked him why he was sneaking in.
"I forgot to take my clothes inside," Trustin said. Elysia's eyes grew bigger as she realized that he was naked. She quickly covered her eyes when Trustin came out of the washroom and shouted at him.
"Are you insane? How can you come out all naked?" She complained and immediately turned her back to him.
Trustin chuckled to hear her. "I am your husband. You should not shy away this way," he stated and opened the cupboard. She frowned and tilted her head a little before shaking off the thought to look at him.
Trustin wore the clothes and slid the cubboard's door. He wiped his hair using the tiny towel around his shoulder and his eyes fell on Elysia, who was standing with his back to him.
Trustin thought to tease her a bit and went closer to him with quiet steps. He looked at the her bare back which was visible through the gaps of her hair. He placed his hands above her shoulders. Elysia jerked with that touch of his.
She felt his lips brushing on her right ear. "Trustin, we are not supposed to do all this," she stated and clutched the edge of her gown.
"Supposed to do what, Elysia?" His husky, deep voice fell onto her ear and shivers ran down her spine. She was scared. This was the scariest part of her marriage. She married him to save her family from his wrath and also the life of Brigetta's child. Now, he wanted her to fulfill his sexual needs.
She could not fall in love for the second time after what Artues did to her. She had strong feelings for him and now, the chambers of her heart were completely closed. Tears formed in her eyes because of the fear, nervousness, and also the memories that she had with Artues.
Trustin furrowed his brows when he felt something was wrong with her. He made her turn to look at him and found her crying. "Why are you crying?" He asked and cupped her face.
"You-you wanted to—" she choked as words did not come out of her throat. "I cannot do what you want me t-to," finally, she managed to complete her statement.
"Hey! I was only teasing you. Why would I do something to you when I do not even," he paused when her doe eyes peered at him, "love you."
Gently, he wiped the tears from her cheeks, using his thumbs. "You should not cry over small things, Elysia. I will not do anything to you until…" he again paused for a brief moment.
"Until?" Elysia sobbed and sniffled.
"Until you want to do it," Trustin asserted. "Are you a kid? You are not supposed to cry. Okay?" He pinched her nose and took a step back. He slid his hands inside his pockets and looked towards the bed.
"Why did they waste effort in doing so? Earlier, they refused to accept this marriage," he murmured and took off the towel from his shoulder. He went to the bed and started to clean those petals off the bedsheet. He threw the towel somewhere on the floor and turned to look at Elysia.
"You cannot sleep in this wedding gown. Better change the outfit," Trustin opined.
"But my luggage is not here. It is still at Eithan's place," she murmured. Trustin again got down from the bed and slid the cupboard. He checked his clothes and after a few minutes, he picked out a t-shirt and black lower for here. "Wear these," he said as he forwarded the hanger to her.
Elysia took it from him when he asked her if she needed help in removing that gown.
"NO!" She dashed to the washroom and closed the door well from inside.
"Was she really in a relationship with Artues? She looks timid," Trustin muttered and went to the bed. He laid his head on the headrest and waited for Elysia to come out. Thirty minutes later, she came out of the washroom, holding the wedding gown in her hand. She placed it on the chaise and turned to him.
"These clothes are loose for me," She said in a low voice and looked down at her lower. She pulled it up and then looked at him.
Trustin could not help but smile as she appeared cute to him. She twitched her lips and asked him if she looked hilarious. Trustin shook his head and asked her to come to the bed.
"Why?" She asked.
"Do you not want to sleep?" He questioned her.
"I want to, but we cannot share the same bed," Elysia pronounced.
"I can't possibly sleep outside on my wedding night," he stated. If he wanted he could go to the farmhouse which was ten minutes away from the mansion, but he could not possibly go out tonight.
Trustin was not sure how to explain his situation. Everything was way too complicated for him to make her understand. "You see, I have no habit of not to sleep on the floor or couch. So, I have already ruled out that option."
Elysia could tell that the marriage was hasty and everything was unplanned but the way he reacted during dinner, she had to set rules before he could cross the line again. She could not sleep on the same bed with him and she also had no habit to sleep on the floor or couch.
"I want us to fulfill certain conditions while staying in this marriage," Elysia expressed her thoughts.
"Are you going to leave me in the future?" Trustin asked her.
"No. I mean… we only are a couple in front of the world. However, we both do not even know each other," Elysia affirmed.
Trustin looked at her in amusement. 'What does this girl want now? I am already on verge of losing my sanity because of her. I want to be away from her, but at the same time, I want to be with her.' He thought to himself.
"Can we not talk in the morning?" He asked as he bent forward to pull the blanket up.
"No! I want everything to be clear between us, right now." She was serious about making and following certain rules between them. Elysia was afraid that if she would not make things clear at this point, things like earlier would happen anytime with her.
Indeed, she was, once she had loved a man with all her heart, and it was just a day ago when she got to know about his real face, she was not ready to accept anyone new in her life, not this soon especially.
Trustin was not in the mood to have a 'sweet talk' with her anymore. Earlier, he just lost control over his body, but he could not reject her outright. "Fine. Say it. I don't have the entire night to hear you." He was started to get annoyed.
"I want to have some rules during my stay at this wedding." Elysia was not sure till when she had the burden of this wedding; but however long it would be, she wanted to secure her stay in this place.
"Rules?" Trustin almost could not control his laughter. He had never abided by any rule, and this woman wanted him to follow her stupid rules. He somehow stopped laughing and asked her to go ahead.
Elysia was a bit relaxed when she found him ready to hear her rules.
"Rule one is that we will not intervene in each other's lives," Elysia stated.
"Why? We are husband and wife. Even if you want to run away from me, I will not allow that. I will intervene in your life when I feel it is right. The same goes for you," Trustin proclaimed. Elysia got out of words. She had to stay in the marriage until the very end. She thought he would divorce after a while, but that was not going to happen.
One thing that she liked was when he said that she could even intervene in his life. She felt like he had already started to consider her his wife. She shook off those thoughts out of her mind.
"Fine. Then, listen to the rule 2. We will not get physically close to each other, that is, we must follow the no-touching rule!" Elysia stated with a stern tone.
Trustin readily agreed to that. He also did not want to be physical with her.
But did his wolf want that? He wondered. His wolf wanted to claim her. He came out of those thoughts and he told Elysia to stay as far as she could from him.
"Shouldn't I be the one to say this to you? Earlier, you tried to kiss me," Elysia blurted out.
"Kiss you?!" Trustin chuckled. "You sure have wild imagination for me. Do not tell me that you fell for me at the first sight," he remarked.
"Ridiculous!" She scoffed at him. "You are not my type," she said and crossed her arms. That long t-shirt made her look cuter, but Trustin took that thought off his mind.
"Oh! Your type is that bastard, then!" Trustin ended up getting furious. He did not like the fact that she rejected him. He was far better than Artues, not only in looks but also in every aspect that a woman would like to consider.
Elysia was hurt by his comment.
"Any more rules?" Trustin asked as he was irked with her. He wanted her to finish early so that he could rest. Since yesterday, he could not even sleep peacefully.
"Yes. Until I am your wife, you cannot look at another woman," Elysia affirmed and bit her lower lip.
Trustin arched his eyebrow upon hearing her last rule.
"Well, I hardly look at women," Trustin stated. Elysia was not ready to believe him. He was good looking, and she knew women must have approached him. She did not want him to see other women when she was his wife.
"You should keep this rule in your mind too. Your focus shall always be on me. If I found you looking at another man, then you will be punished," Trustin said with a grin on his lips.
