Dodging the fiery orbs, the lady halted her attack and made the orbs vanish from her hands immediately.
" You know me?" She muttered in surprise.
"Princess Zyra? Is she the princess of the Phoenix tribe?" I mused inwardly, my wrist still tightly held by Ethan.
She stood akimbo and began to eye Ethan from head to toe.
"Why are you so cute? Who are you and what is your name? I'll tell my mother to make you mine soon. Here, write your number in it," she giggled silly, stretching out her phone to Ethan.
I scoffed loudly and rolled my eyes in disbelief. So shameless, who goes about asking a man out? I scoffed again, and this got her attention.
"Hey, you! What is your problem?" she snapped at me, but I cut her off before she could say another word.
"You asking my man out is my problem, bitch!" I blurted loudly without thinking.
What the hell did I just say? My man? Omg why did I say that?
I lamented inwardly as I covered my mouth with my hands in embarrassement.
Ethan smirked and chuckled at the same time. I bet he's feeling himself now. I tilted my face away from his so he won't see how bad I was blushing.
"Are you guys married yet? If not, then I can still claim him as mine. So, here, write your number," she urged, blinking blankly like a mannequin.
Ethan pulled me closer to him, embracing me tightly and patting my head like I'm a little child. His musky scent of male and cologne filled my nose as my face pressed gently on his stomach. Bro is too tall that I can only reach his stomach/waist region.
"Princess Zyra, you should be more dignified than this. I expected more from the daughter of Pyrrha. My woman just gave her order, she doesn't want me to give out my contact. Do you want me to defy her?"
Ethan breathed huskily, and I nearly choked to death. What the fuck does he mean by my woman? I rolled my eyes mentally and tried connecting with him through the mind link, but it's not working. What is wrong with Ethan's powers?
"How did you know I'm Princess Zyra? Who are you? I'm yet to come of age, so no one apart from people from the Palace Of Nirvana has seen my face. Who the hell are you!" she thundered, conjuring another fiery orb from her left palm, but this time it was burning slowly.
"You don't have to always show your powers. Learn to lay low and strike at the right time!" Ethan growled, still gently patting and fiddling with my hair.
"Cut the crap and answer my questions!" Zyra snapped rudely, her fiery orb starting to glow more. It seems like they're controlled by her anger, the angrier she is, the more the fiery orb will intensify.
"Apart from the Princess of the Phoenix tribe, no one in the whole of Faeloria is a mixed breed of Phoenix and dragonblood. And only the dragons can conjure fiery orbs like that, except me."
"You seem to know too much! Who are you?" she inquired, making the orb disappear, while looking at Ethan with scrutinizing eyes.
"You will know soon. For now, take care," he said, and we took our leave, leaving her alone in confusion.
"Why didn't you tell her who you are?" I asked, but he didn't utter a word. We went shopping, and I got all the things I wanted, including a phone and some writing tools. I miss writing so much. After hours of shopping, we returned to the car, ready to go home after a very busy day. It's already sunset. I can't believe we spent so many hours shopping.
"Am I truly your man?" Ethan smirked as the car engine roared to life, and we began our journey home. I pretended not to hear what he said and focused on my phone, trying to hide my red ass face.
"Ignoring me now? Do you think it's nice to claim a single guy as yours publicly and then start ignoring him? Are you trying to use and dump me?" he breathed scornfully, and I was so embarrassed. Bro is so shameless. How dare him guilt trip me like that. I raised my ducked head and gave him an angry glare.
"Aren't you shameless? Stop making a big deal out of it. I'll compensate you for the damages," I spat without thinking, not knowing that what I just said will land me into more trouble.
"Oooh! Compensation? I love compensation. How do you wish to compensate me, Miss Paisley?" he said, a sly smirk gracing his sinfully handsome face, as he drove us along a secluded road.
"I don't have an idea yet…"
"Three wishes!" he snapped sharply, cutting me off before I could finish my sentence.
"What the hell are you on to this time around, what three fucking wishes!" I yelled at him, and he began laughing hysterically. I just fell into his carefully laid trap. Such a cunning schemer.
"I will make three wishes, and you must grant them. That is the compensation I want, Kimberly. Do you think you're capable?" he growled naughtily, and I couldn't help but have a feeling he's up to some dangerous games. Should I agree with it? Is he gonna punish me like he did yesterday?
The memories of that night flashed before my eyes, and I flinched slightly, my intertwined fingers suddenly turning cold.
What is wrong with me, it's just an ordinary touch, why am I losing my home training because of this, I mused, while numerous beads of sweat roll down my forehead.
"Kim! Are you fine? Is the AC not working? You're sweating badly, do you want me to roll down the windows for fresh air?" he inquired curiously, his voice laced with concern.
Only if he knows what is making me sweat right now, he would make fun of me.
"No … I'm fiiinnneee," I stuttered shyly, avoiding his cute face. Only his cute little lips can make me go crazy at this moment.
"So what are your three wishes?" I drawled in a low velvety voice.
"Hmmmm," he hummed softly, flipping his fringe behind in a cute manner, revealing his facial features more.
Damn, he's really so cute. I blushed shamelessly and removed my intense glare from his face. This guy can make one sin.
He pressed on, "I don't have any idea regarding the three wishes I want to ask for, but I do have an idea about the first wish, and it's ready to be shared. Do you want to hear it? And are you sure you are up to the task? Once I tell you, you can't back out, okay? Deal?" he breathed and I hesitated for a while before drawling finally.
"Alright, deal!"
"Good!" he nodded and smiled softly as he pulled over in the middle of the deserted road.
This time it's already getting slightly dark. What is he doing? I intertwined my fingers nervously while my heart began to palpitate dangerously in my chest, anticipating his first wish.
"For publicly claiming me, Demon Lord Lucian as yours, you shall now be responsible for me now and forever. Now, kiss me, as a sign of your loyalty to me!" he growled in a low, seductive voice that sent shivers down my spine.
