Madeleine ( present)
His eyes traced my body from down to up. He lost the colour of his face and looked like his brain just short circuited.
He was flustered for the first time. First step went very well. His reaction gave me more courage. My shyness went away but my heart was tripping over him again and again. My insides were shouting like crazy.
"MAD..MAD....MAD..MAD..."
Yeah, I was going mad in love. He was still staring at me like he just freezed in time.
I waved a hand in front of him and he snapped out of his thoughts. He averted his gaze and stuttered," I...You ..."
" Shhh...." I interrupted him by putting my finger on his lips. They were so soft.
He looked at me helplessly. He was confused. I removed my finger from his lips. I remembered the contents of Seduction.
I smiled a bit. It was an awkward smile. I added eye contact. I was looking at him with wide eyes.
Suddenly, he started chuckling. I was dumbfounded. Why was he chuckling?
For god sake I was seducing him, not doing a comedy show.
" Why are you laughing?" I asked
" You are making a strange face." He said while holding in laughter.
It was embarrassing. My face flamed. Don't worry expressions did not work but next thing would for sure.
I touched his bare chest with my hands. He was really surprised this time. His body shivered under my touch. He was really muscular with all that abs....
FOCUS MADELEINE
Yeah focus , alright....
He was just staring at me making me nervous. He lifted his one eyebrow again. That wasn't fair. I cried internally. I was here to seduce him, not to be seduced by him.
My next step, flirt with him. But, I cried internally 'cause I didn't know how to flirt.
" What are you trying to do?" He said snapping my attention to him.
" You are handsome..." I blurted out and I regretted later.
He chucked and said," I know."
Okay, I couldn't officially flirt with anyone. I was down for. My last and ultimate weapon.
TOUCH
I was going to touch him. Again , I gathered my courage and was ready to seduce him.
I turned him around and pushed him on the end. It happened in seconds he got no time to react.
He was looking at me in confusion. He was trying to get up but I hovered over him and traced his chest and shoulders with my feather touch. He shivered and grabbed my hand.
" W....What are you trying to do?" He said while breathing heavily.
Now, I was feeling confident.I went close to his ear and whispered,
" Nothing....."
He was sweating profusely. I could see the veins pumping fastly in his neck. This was working. I ran my hands through his messy and silky hair and started making circles on his chest with my finger.
" Why did you ignore me? You did not even come to meet me today." I complained.
" Oh....So, you were upset about that." He said while struggling under my touch.
" Hmm.....I thought you forgot about me."
" Now, I understand why are you doing this?"
I looked at him and his playful smirk was back. Something was going in his mind. Before, I could thought what was he thinking? He turned the tables upside down.
Means, I was pinned beneath him. I struggled under him to free myself but his hold was strong.
" Now, tell me what were you trying to do?" He asked.
I didn't say anything. He smiled and said," You don't want to...." He smirked and came close to my ear.
" But, I will make you...."
My body shaked under his touch. I was trapped. I was blushing. I was embarrassed. I didn't want to tell him. He pinned my both hands above my head and pulled my hair behind my ear. His touch was so soft and gentle. He traced his finger to my neck, shoulder and grabbed my waist. My nerves woke up on his touch. It felt like his touch was burning my skin and every fibre was on fire where he touched.
" Tell me..." He whispered again.
It was getting unbearable. He closed in his face to me and touched his cheek to my cheek. I felt an inferno was inside me. My throat was dry.
" I wanted to seduce you." I shouted in frustration.
" Why?" He asked not moving from his place at all. He was so calm and seemed to enjoy all of this. He was warm.
" Why Madeleine?" He asked again moving his face down to my neck.
" B...Because I..I. wanted to seduce you.
I thought I.... you....you will get bored of me soon and w..will leave me." I said.
On hearing me, he got up and sat on bed so that his back was facing me. He throwed a blanket on me and said in a cold voice,
" What were you thinking?"
I also got up and sat on bed. He turned towards me and grabbed my shoulders.
" What were you thinking? What if I did something wrong to you?"
I was speechless but surprised to see him talk like this. Was he upset?
" Look at me..."
He shaked me and I looked at him. His eyes told me he was hurt. Did I hurt him? But I didn't mean to. He leaved me and got up from there, running his hand through his hairs. He was upset. What did I do? I was really crazy. I couldn't saw him like that. It was broking my heart. He was turning away from me, I couldn't bear his ignorance.
I got up from bed and went to him. I grabbed his arm and said," I...I didn't mean to hurt you.....I.....I am sorry."
He didn't even looked at me and brushed me aside. I had to explain myself. My throat clogged with emotions.
" L..Listen to me. You ignored me all the day and I thought you will leave me and I couldn't even bear the thought of that....
Don't ignore me."
He turned to face me and walked towards me fastly.
" How could you even think that I will leave you? Don't you trust me? I thought we were more than that." He said his voice representing the pain in his heart. His words stabbed my heart like a knife.
" Go away...." He said turning away.
" Please... Alaric...I am sorry."
My heart was bleeding and finally tears rolled down my cheeks. I hurted him and I was hurt too. It wasn't my intention. My hands were shaking.
"Alaric...." My voice choked.
I cleared my voice and said," I am sorry."
While looking down on floor. I was really sorry. He came towards me and cupped my chin so that I was looking at him.He weren't distant anymore. The kindness and playfulness in his eyes were back. He felt like mine again. He wiped my tears and hugged me. I hugged him back.
" Don't ever doubt my love for you even for a second...."
" No, I won't .....I am sorry."
" Hushhhh....Now stop crying."
We stayed like that for a few minutes. When I was convinced that he wasn't hurt anymore. I stepped away.
" I should.....achoo...." I sneezed.
He giggled and said," You caught a cold."
I sniffed and said," I think so...."
" Your nose is all red. Go and take a rest." He said.
" Okay then, I am going....goodnight." I said and turned to go away but he grabbed my hand and kissed my cheek.
Butterflies were back. I was feeling warm.
I went to my room and was in a daze. I never knew when I reached my room and went to sleep.
Alaric
What was she thinking coming here to me like that? I was so surprised when she dropped her robe. She was wearing such a revealing dress.
" Now, I can't remove her image from my mind." I muttered to myself.
She was shaking under me like a rabbit caught by a lion. She was all red. I was just going to lose it.
I wasn't successful in showing my love to her and she was doubtful. But, I couldn't see tears in her preety eyes. I sighed.
" I will show her that how much I loved her." I promised to myself.
But, she wouldn't understand my love for her until she was in love with me. Her attraction was getting worse. She believed I would leave her. She was insecure.She was jealous of Camilla who wasn't even here yet. What would happen when she will come here?
I shaked my head and wore a shirt. Otherwise, I was going to get a cold like her. I hoped she would be okay. She was driving me crazy. That girl would be the death of me.
I smiled on thought that I loved her to death.
