Chereads / The Beauty of the Beast / Chapter 11 - 11

Chapter 11 - 11

"Samaria shall become desolate; for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up."

-Hosea 13:16

As we made our way towards the dining table, Cian stood awkwardly yet intimidatingly in front of his seat. He glanced from me to Evander.

I smirked to myself secretly as I decided to sit in my normal seat for today.

But tomorrow I'll be bold enough to sit next to him.

As he sat on his chair, it was our cue to sit as well.

The food had arrived after we took our seats. I had been stealing glances at Cian as he tried his best to compose himself with authority in front of Evander and the others.

As the others left, Cian cleared his throat and said "Tonight, we will discuss the things you must recognize on a dinner table." he took a look at what was in front of him and said "What is misplaced here?"

Both Evander and I looked at his plate. Then I noticed what he meant, it was his utensils. They were silver and silver hurt werewolves.

I took a look at Evander to see the triumphant expression on him as he seemed to figure out what was wrong. We both whispered "They are silver utensils"

Cian was satisfied with our answer and held the silvers in his hands. His fingers started turning red and burning slightly, and it made me worried, I knew he was a king and he could heal right away, but I didn't want to see him hurt for even one second. 

"This is what it does to a werewolf. The amount of silver in this is strong, because if it was less, we could not have showed it's effect to you, but the same amount would permanently hurt a normal werewolf."

He put all of the utensils aside as another servant came in to change it.

After the discussion, we started eating.

I decided that it was a good time to make my move.

Cian's seat wasnt that far from me, in fact it was quite close. I started putting my foot next to his. His eyes shifted slightly to my face then down to his plate. He liked the attention and I was playing dumb. As if I wasn't sure what I was doing. I didn't want him to know because I wanted to see the expressions he would make to be caught in surprise.

As Evander and Cian started talking and dessert came, I decided that it was time for my next step to take. I wrapped my leg around one of his. He tensed up but relaxed as he felt my touch.

He liked it.

His eyes started turning more yellow by each step I was taking.

I knew I was playing a dangerous game, and I enjoyed every bit of it.

I'm going to make him lose control. I wanted to see him when he wasn't in control. Let's see what the king has up his sleeves.

Evander seemed to notice as he tried to hide his smile by stuffing his face in the dessert in front of him.

He had subconsciously stretched the leg I was holding hostage more towards me. This big baby was starting to feel cuddly.

I decided that it was time for me to place my hand on his knee.

As my palm rested on his knee, he jumped a bit then he quickly composed himself by acting like he was just moving his chair closer to the table.

My hands started going up more. I gave his strong muscular thigh a squeeze.

I heard him take a sharp breath.

My hands traveled higher on his thigh, I wanted him to feel my touch even if it was for a second. I wanted him to crave me like I crave him.

I brushed my fingertips near his crotch. He took in a deep breath and closed his eyes. He bit his lips secretly.

This was enough for tonight.

I smirked at his direction as he visibly slumped in his seat.

I know he liked it. And I was going to do more to him until he couldn't take it. I'd enjoy the chase.

My mouth hung open as he opened his eyes. His brown eyes had completely shifted to yellow. Two alarmingly beautiful and fascinating yellow eyes that had some brown streaks left in them.

Evander had started coughing at the sight and I cleared my throat to bring attention back to the table. Both of them sat stiff on their chairs.

Cian's wolf was out and it seemed like it terrified Evander. It was adorable to me though.

Cian had started calming down as his eyes turned back to brown. He stood up pulling his shirt down a bit further

"This is enough for tonight, we can continue tomorrow. Both of you be prepared by the same time tomorrow" he announced as we both stood at the same time and bowed in respect.

"Yes, your majesty"

Before Cian could request me to stay behind, I had walked next to Evander quickly and closed the doors before he could capture me because I couldn't look at him without being impulsive. I can't believe what I did tonight. And I'd do it again any other time.

When I reached my room, I got my card out to slide it against the lock so my door would open. What I didn't expect was Cian behind me. So when he rested his hand against my lower back, I jumped and dropped my card. I unintentionally slid it under the door because I panicked.

How do I open the damn door now?

As I was debating, Cian pulled his own card out. He was behind me with an arm protectively around me pulled me onto him and the other one sliding the card.

"Now that we have opened your door, you have to make it up to us, little mate"
