the rest of the day passed with them not saying a word to each other, just like that night when they were in this same carriage right after the two of them getting married.
Aurora stared outside, watching the large vast forest that they were passing, she didn't dare look at him, as she knew their gazes would only lock on each other resulting to an ark ward moment.
she most of the time would sigh as of bored, and each time she would just miss being that young girl who still lived with her parents missing them badly, as well as those moments the three of them stayed together. she would hear laughters in her mind and her heart would squeeze, tears threatening to fall, but she controlled herself, again, not showing her witness, which resulted to her only staring outside, looking like a living corpse... alive but yet dead with no feelings whatsoever.
Since that moment that's Sebastian told her to have lunch and she refused, he didn't say to her since then, and this helped her a lot in controlling her anger, not to answer him any shitty stuff which for sure she knew, would only make things worse for the two of them, as they already were.
...
Sebastian, on the other hand, didn't bother telling her to eat anymore, nor talked to her as he sensed from the beginning that she was in a foul mood, and this only angered him more, especially when he had no reason why she was like this, til this morning, they were doing fine... well, atleast she was talking to her, but they were talking, now she seems angry, mad and felt... lonely. just like last night.
thus, he too never said a thing to her, returning his stoic face mask and shut his eyes away.
...
the ride was fast, too fast for even Aurora to handle. she felt sick most of the time like she wanted to vomit and her head would spin, thus, hating how she felt, she lay her head on the seat and forced herself to fall asleep,maybe the ride wouldn't be this rough the moment she woke up.
but when she put her head, that's when it hit her, last night, he sat beside her and placed her head on his lap.... 'Would he do the same???' she thought to herself before her eyes widen up and sat up in a hurry, even startling Sebastian. she sat down and drifted her eyes away from him trying her best not to look at him so that he, wouldn't asked any question. but.. right... like that would ever happen
"Are you alright? did something happened???" he asked as his eyes were filled with worry now, gone was that stoic mask of his.. Aurora, hearing his question, she cleared her throat and looked at him
"All is we..." the carriage took a U turn in such a speed that caused both of them to fall on their left side.
the force applied during the U turn caused Aurora to fall forward to the left, which ended up her, falling on Sebastian chest.. when the carriage finally stayed stable, the two of them looked at each other, being so close as their nose almost touched each other, feeling their hot breaths on each other's skin.
Sebastian held her waist for her not to fall as he held her in place, close to him. the warmth that was produced between them. exchanging their heat felt like the sun dropped to their fore heads. they didn't sweat, but felt their bodies hitting up, as Sebastian's lips twitched, begging for something's which he had a hundred percent and one that he wouldn't get it, which made him want her even more.
Aurora was startled by the sudden move, her hands fell on his chest when she fell as his hands In a haste held her waist. her heart was beating in high rate due to the fast and sudden turn of the carriage, she seriously thought the carriage would crash, and they would get nothing but hurt real badly, she calmed her self down that everything was fine, she calmed down as her heartbeat beats normally now, but then, she realized it, and her heart jumped and started accelerating again.
'her hands, her hands were on his chest, his perfect torn chest. and his arm, it was on her waist, holding her, suddenly the heat on her body increased and raised her face to look at him as she tried to get off him, but when her nose brushed his, she couldn't help but stay in place, feeling his warm breath on her lips which riled her up, raising a certain feeling on her peak which she was unfamiliar with.
but then, he instinct kicked in and she abruptly raised from her position causing both of them to wake up from their dazed form and sat back on her seat.
Sebastian inhaled as if he was out of oxygen that whole moment when the two of them were too close to one another and abruptly breathing hard when that warmth finally left him. he inhaled and looked at her, who seems to be facing the same thing as he did.
she said nothing and only inhaled for more oxygen, holding her raising and falling chest. after finally coming down, everything rushed in her mind, they were so close!!! she slowly raised her eyes looking at him, only to find him looking at her back, with the same gaze she was looking at him, of shock and....lust.. noticing how their gazes locked on each other, non of them ready to leave each others gazes. if not for the carriage being stopped abruptly, they would have locked for God knows til when...
Aurora was the first one to snap out of the staring competition. she cleared her throat as she gazed down, locking her hands together.
Sebastian feeling frustrated of all the turns, the stops and the speed, he went out of their carriage only to learn that it was already in the night.. he stood and asked, his tone calm but with a hidden. rage that came familiar to the two coachmen, " what seems to be the problem?" one of the coachmen jumped down and went to Sebastian.
"My lord, the path is blocked... we can't move unless we move this out of the way, so i suggest, you and her lady would rest for a while and we would. try to remove this...
"Would it take long enough? we have to reach home as fast as possible..."
'Before the full moon... " he thought in his mind as he saw the moon was almost full in the sky.... it was at it's phase of the waxing gibbous
