Chapter 31 - Lost the privilege

He did not step anywhere near her still body . She was right , this man is dangerous . 

"How would you marry me when you are so easily frightened by my words , little princess?" He finally questioned , his voice as deep and cold as earlier . 

Mila shot her eyes up to him. Who said she will be marrying him ?

"You still going to sign those papers for me aren't you , little princess ?" He asked , mirth dancing in his eyes and his lips somewhat stretched to a sexy ghost smirk .

Mila looks at the glee in his icy eyes . She refused to bite back her tongue this time ," Why would you expect me to marry you? And the answer to your question is no ." She responded at his question while she viciously stares at him . Goddamm' ! Where she did she get the nerve ? But her blood pumped and she felt the adrenaline flowing in her blood .

" You see , this side of you , I live to see , little flower." He spoke . 

Mila kept quiet . Her tongue burning with words that's would probably recieve her a harsh threat that she os sure won't be said to her now about would be fulfilled by him .

She had noted how he said he lived to see the fierce side of her . But Mila's isn't fierce , she just wears the mask of a fierce woman .

"And what do you mean by the response no ? No - you will not marry me or no - you are not frightened by me ?" He questioned , still standing a few feet away from her . 

Mila slid the nagging voice telling her to scream for Conner at the back of her head while she focuses on the man . "Both ." She responds , holing eye contact with his eyes dancing with mirth that are more intimidating than when they are lifeless , but still , she wanted to do what exactly she did with Morgana . But she knew it will bite back to her .

"It is such a great pity for all those witnessing our path at how relatable we are." He spoke and Mila did not understand why he will say that . How are they relatable ? And which path ? Which people are witness this path ? She gazed at him with confusion until he showed out his open palm . It felt like they were back on the dance floor on her birthday and this man is nothing but a gentleman asking for a dance that you will never forget . " Let's go for a walk ." He said . 

It was an order , she just had to place her hand on his . His eyes were promising . No glee and no ice. But he is still dangerous . 

Mila shook her head ," No." 

A sharp gasp escaped from her lips when he suddenly yanked her foward to him by her hand and she was standing so close to him that is sexy scent filled her nostrils . She tried to pull back but he wrapped his hand tightly around her waist before he inched his face closer to the side of her head and once he was near the spot where it caused her body to heat and flush , he whispered ," Sleep , little princess ." 

Ordered as said , her eyelids felt heavy before they eventually closed on their own and she slumped in his hands .

Mila felt the sound of the gentle , soft and subdued notes of the piano playing . She opened her eyes and through her annoyed expression of getting uncousious for what seems like the fourth time , she glanced up at the high ceiling that she doesn't see where it ends . 

She sat up and dropped her legs ok the ground . She was on the couch and was made to lay on her back . The gentle music of the piano stopped immediately when she sat up and looked at the man sitting behind the piano . 

"I'm so disappointed in you , little princess ." He spoke before he hit a few keys on the grand piano . He looked up at her once again ," You were uncousious for a long time . The sun is already out and we didn't get to do what I had planned for us to do ." 

At his words , Mila turned wide awake and stood up hastily from the couch . She approached him while she questioned ," It's morning?" Her voice a start of panic . 

"Mhm ." He nods as he presses the keys . When she was near him , ignoring the classy and beautiful piano and how he was amazingly playing it , she looked at his eyes . "Since you love to sleep so much , I have got a massive bed for you back at your mansion ." He said . 

Her brows knotted together ," What mansion ? What bed ?" She watched him gulp down his whiskey from the squared glass before she looked around the room , searching for any window but all the dark curtains in the walls could'nt get her to tell where exactly is the window . She badly wants to get back home . 

"Did you do through the envelope and letters I had sent to you ?" He questioned while standing up and Mila backed away so that they could have some space between them ." You are very rebellious aren't you?" It was a rhetorical question . "You are one hell of a naught woman , little princess ." 

She watched himcross his arms over his chest and Mila swallowed as she watched how his muscles bulged through the black shirt . Fuck . She averted her gaze from him and to the piano . This man is heavenly blessed . Heavenly ? She'd have to rethink that . But either way , he is perfect in any ways you could possibly dream of . Other than his twisted methods . His facial features are sharp and striking attractive. He is a devastatingly handsome man with clean black hair that she is sure the feeling would be sensational if she were to run her hands through the strands and his eyes are a beautiful shape and the eyelashes he posses ? Any girl would be jealous . His lips are where she stopped herself from drinking in his features , even his eyes , thick neck and hands that she is so badly inlove with . He's right , she's mustn't sleep on his features. But she is rebellious, so she will .

Home . I have to go home . Mila reminds herself . 

He suddenly approached her . She could see him from the corner of her eyes . He stood tall infront of her before he lifted his fingers and turned her to look at him . 

"Your eyes , little princess . Control the emotions in them . They are all naked for me to read ." He spoke , his voice sending shivers down her spine and the butterflies in her stomach fluttering their wings at an uncomfortable pace.

She flushed before she took a step back but he pulled her back by her waist . Purr . Wherever he touches , her body purrs in acknowledgement, pleasure and agreement . "This tension between the two of us should end . And I am not talking about the tension building up between your legs but the one in your heart . I would never hurt you , under different circumstances," He suddenly winked at her . Mila observed his eyes that are dancing with mirth and the smile-smirk his red lips had formed . She was breathing hard and aloud . "I had planned for us to discuss some of the important things that you should know ," he let go of her and took a respectful step back ," Something as to why the shadows are after you and why you are bounded to me , but since you let the dream fairies attract you into their sick world , you lost the privilege , little princess .

"I'll take you back home but you'll have to be uncousious for me again." He spoke and before she could do or say anything , he was suddenly close to her , their bodies brushing against one another and he whispered ," Sleep , little princess ."
