Chapter 10 - About the book

What's with the book?" She said in-between her moans, but there was no response from Vance.

It was more like he didn't hear her because, with the height of his voice, she was sure he was enjoying everything.

Selena for a little more while watching his expression before repeating her question.

What book is that?" Vance replied, trying to maintain his breath and still keep up his pace.

The book with the pictures." She replied, avoiding his eyes and pretending to have just little interest concerning the book.

Vance pulled out, making her suspect that something was wrong, but she was wrong, he only wanted to change positions.

They changed their positions and this time, his face was directly facing her but she, with resilience surging from how she had given her first time to him, she repeated her question.

Vance ignored her again and when he scanned her face and saw that she wasn't happy, he chose to respond.

What's with you and the book?" He asked and with the way their eyes met immediately, he knew that she had something to do with the book.

I am just curious. Since we are married, I would love to know more about you." She said, eyeing him seductively.

Vance smirked. The word marriage made him laugh.

Does she think I would be like a husband to her?" He thought. As far as he knew, Lucifers don't get married, he had just made a difference for public purposes.

And you think this is the best time?" He said, increasing his pace, which made Selena lose interest in her motive because of the pleasure surging inside her.

I feel weird, like I want to pee." She said with a tensed voice.

Calm down, it's just your hormones acting up." He said, since it's your first time, I guess that's how you should feel." He said, still keeping up his pace.

Selena wasn't buying it, as the pressure of whatever was wrong with her kept on increasing, so she pushed him away and made her way to the bathroom, enduring the pain from her injuries.

That was a close one." Selena said as hot urine trickled down her legs.

She quickly put in the shower and ran another bath again, wondering how she was going to get the right timing to ask him about the book.

The door opened and Vance made his way inside while she was still just scrubbing her body.

What's the meaning of what you did?" He asked, anger evident in his voice.

I am sorry, I felt the urge to urinate." She said, washing off the soap from her body.

Her eyes met his, and she couldn't make out his expression. He was neither angry nor sad, which made her at ease a little bit. At least she still had a chance of getting her clues. Her first night cannot be in vain even though she enjoyed it.

Vance joined her in the shower and started applying more soap on her body. She wanted to stop him by telling him she was almost done, but his next words stopped her instead.

Concerning that book," he said, and their eyes met, confirming for Vance again that she knew someone in that book.

It's just for a certain number of people. When I can't place their head on the book yet, I place their pictures, then when I get their head, I place it on the book." He said, sending shock waves down her spine.

So the woman's picture in the book you placed her head on the book." She asked, masking her emotions.

Yes, I did." He replied sharply. Their eyes met and his gaze on her was cold, holding no emotions.

There are many more there like her, didn't you notice? Why does she seem to interest you the more?" He said with an angry tone.

I saw your reaction when you saw her picture, it was like you knew her or something. I am asking now because I had a good time with you. Tell me what business you had with her, and I would let you go unscathed, but if you let me find out by myself, I would make sure you pay for my time wasted." He said, his voice devoid of menace.

Selena silently thanked her stars for the water from the shower which washed away her tears as soon as they came.

She is beautiful." She muttered.

What did you say?" He asked, now looking deep into her eyes and noticing that tears were streaming down her face.

She's beautiful." She repeated, a bit more loudly this time.

What does her beauty have to do with her picture?" He asked, not understanding where she was headed.

Was she not your mistress?" Selena asked. Her heart ached at how far she was going, especially with her mom, but she knew it was the only thing she had to do.

No, she wasn't and even if she was, why would you cry about her death." He asked, pulling her by the chin and she tried avoiding his eyes.

I thought I would end up like her someday without even knowing what I did wrong." She said and Vance chuckled.

She was not my mistress, it's...."

Then how did she offend you?" Selena cut him off, desperately wanting to know the reason behind his actions.

It was all my fault, she didn't deserve it." He said, studying her expression, but she kept a blank face.

I can never do the same to you because you are my wife and I trust that you would never betray me, even if I don't trust you." He said, pulling her close to him for their bodies to rub.

They didn't do anything, they were innocent, and you killed them. I will make sure I deal with you in the worst way possible." She said in her heart and her tears kept pouring.

Do you want to take another proper bath?" He asked.

No, I think this is enough." She said and they both left the bathroom wrapped in towels.

Selena picked up the clothes she had earlier taken off while Vance went to his wardrobe to search for something to wear. He noticed the picture in the wardrobe had changed its position, but he didn't care, she wouldn't dare to do anything.

As he pulled away from the wardrobe to put on his clothes, his eyes caught the sight of cars pulling outside his gate.

Get inside the wardrobe, Selena." He ordered.
