RECOMMENDED SONG: Bad To You By Ariana Grande,Normani & Nicky Minaj ~?
Ayra was left with no words coming out from her mouth. At the same time, a layer of red blush creepted through her cheeks. His heated eyes was consuming her soul pushing her into the thoughts of darkeness in where she found no way out. He was one kind of devil whose presence comforted her rather than terrifying her spirit.
Though Ayra didn't use a single word to rebuke, Cedric figured out that she was unwilling. Narrowing his eyes slightly, he signaled at Frenchies arching up his hand and soon after, another round of scream echoed in the lonely hut. Ayra jumped snapping her head up and saw the displeased look on Cedric's eyes. She bit her lips together tightly and held back a growl behind her throat.
Spending few moments in hesitation, she sighed helplessly and whispered in a low voice,
" Release...him..Ce.. Cedric.."
Rewarded with her sweet voice,his lips arched upwards subconsciously. All the darkeness of his expression suddenly vanished away and he appeared like an innocent child who just got a new candy. Then he passed his order to Frenchies who was still torturing Seth with a poker face,
" Leave him to his house and tell his father that if his son appeares again in my fiancee's life, next time he will receive his skeletons as a present."
Ayra's face sank a little but didn't show any sign of protest. After today's incident, she really started to doubt herself that whether she knew really Seth well or not. Was he remorsing that they didn't consummate their relationship like other couple?
Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard his soft voice calling onto her,
" Let's go or else your bothers will turn Dalastia upside down."
Humming in response, she started to pick up her pace then the ache from her feet made her wincing in pain. Hearing a low hiss from his back, Cedric paused in his track and snapped his head back curiously. Watching her face tightening in face, his eyes subconsciously trailed down towards her feet and soon it discovered her swallowed spot.
Cedric's face darkened again and while approaching her, he asked furiously regretting on his decision that he let go of Seth so fast,
" Did he hit you? Huh? You are trying to protect that bastard who even hurt you?"
Ayra gulped a little after her roar and mumbled stumbling on her feet,
" It..it was just an accident.. nothing else.."
Cedric sneered coldly from his growing jealousy. Without seeking for her permission,he casually bent down and scooped the woman in his broad arms. Ayra panicked almost jumping off from his arms,
" Let..let go...I..I can walk.."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDespite her contious protest, Cedric continued holding her and headed for the outdoor slowly. Knowing that he didn't had any plan of dropping her down, Ayra stopped struggling helplessly and saw a glimpse of Frenchies's figure dissaparing with Seth's petite body. Her stomach clenched in pain. After all, she really loved him deeply.
Without being cautious with her words, she whispered emotionally from his lap,
" Will.. will you..kill him.. really?"
Cedric paused abruptly and looked down at the woman in his arms speechlessly. He couldn't accept the fact that she was still caring for the bastard who treated her so poorly. His expression turned grim and without any prior notice, he ruthlessly dropped her down on her aching feet.
He growled at her before heading ahead without carrying her anymore,
" You..you still care for him? All right! Come by your own! There's no need for me to carry you out."
Ayra was stupified and saw him leaving for real. She shouted hysterically,
" Go away! I still have wings to return. Who wants you carrying me?"
Hearing the mention of her wings, Cedric paused in his track and gnashed his teeth together. She was already aching in her feet.
What if she gets hurt in her wings too?
Ayra humphed arrogantly and prepared to sprawl out her wings but then came his threatening voice,
" I dare you leave alone! "
Ayra was once again speechless and stared at him blankly.
For god's sake, what did he want from her?
Cedric marched towards her with his long strides and scooped the woman up in his arms once again. When she got on his arms, Ayra couldn't help but feeling a little moved. He was still concerned about her well-being.
Argh! He is a demon and forcing you to marry him! Stop thinking about him!
Ayra's inner mind warned repeatedly and forced her to push away those ideas. On the other side, Cedric carried her away effortlessly. She was thin like feather in his arms and didn't have much weight according to her age. Cedric suddenly grew concerned unreasonablely and questioned unhappily,
" Don't you eat? Why are you so thin?"
Ayra rolled her eyes back sarcastically.
Don't men always want a slim figure from their women? Why did he resound like he wasn't so happy?
Ayra siezed this chance of teasing him. She snorted coldly and started to bicker from his arms,
" What do you expect me to do, huh? Should I eat like you? You must eat so many things bones, meats, blood..umm.. what's more?"
Ayra mentioned every horrible dessert and couldn't help but grinning sarcastically. His expression delighted her the most. Suddenly Cedric paused middle of their way and dropped his heavy eyes on her. As Ayra continued smiling widely, Cedric's ambiguous tone suddenly sent her a chill,
" How about I eat you then?"
Ayra stopped laughing almost instantly and saw the hidden meaning behind the layer of his dark eyes. Her cheeks flushed a little and eyes darted around uncomfortablely. Sucking her lower lips uncomfortablely, she mumbled awkwardly,
" Let's..let's go back to the castle..Father must be waiting for us.."
Cedric smirked cunningly and didn't tease her anymore. Since the dark cloud named Seth was removed from her life permanently, he would get plenty of time with her in the future. He was excited to know more about herself in the future. He was already picturing a happy future with her.
But would it be possible so easily?
Meanwhile, the people of Dalastia were in uproar. Cedric wasn't absolutely boasting himself in the hut. Alexander, Arthur even Nathan had already searched all the potential places in where Ayra could go possibly. Even Aaron started to grow Ayra and was thinking about summoning more soldiers from his own kingdom. Esme started to shed tears and blamed herself for not taking care well of Ayra. Their only fear was the unknown curse which was mysteriously silent in all this years.
Using his fast passing spirit, Cedric directly led Ayra inside her living room without being notified by anyone. Then he settled her down on the bed. Much to Ayra's surprise, the man suddenly knelt down on his one knee and reached out to pick up her injured feet but Ayra dodged startling badly,
" What are you doing? How can I put my feet on your lap, seriously?"
Cedric chuckled lightly at her reaction and teased with a smirk,
" Why not? Unless you have a fantasy of putting them on my shoulders,hmm?"
Ayra blushed profusely and gritted her teeth harder shyly. Glaring at his smirk, she barked with a forced smile,
" Has anyone ever told you that you are a narcissistic pervert man?"
Cedric shook his head in denali and replied innocently while touching her feet slightly,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm" Nah! You say! It's my honor to hear such sweet compliment from my wife's mouth."
Ayra was almost going crazy with his tricky words. She growled out of frustration,
" Urgghh.. It's impossible to communicate with you.."
Cedric grinned mischievously. Looking up at her angry face, he spoke with a wink,
" No need as long as you communicate with me in bed."
Ayra "...."
I should just shut up!
Ayra muttured incoherently,
" You...you...you..."
Cedric grinned enjoying her blushing face,
" I.. what? Call me by my name.."
Ayra mumbled shyly,
" Demon.."
Cedric grinned further and replied with an amusing smile,
" Your Demon..."
Ayra ignored his perverted words and looked away shyly. It was impossible to talk with a man who was skilled in flirting. Using her distraction to massage her feet, Cedric's eyes suddenly grew darker.
He averted his eyes first on her swallowed spot and used the tip of his fingers to caress her flawless skin. Ayra jolted slightly at his warmth and looked down alarmingly. As she parted her lips to protest, Cedric's low threatening voice echoed in the air,
" Did he touch you here?"
Ayra was silent and saw him running his fingers across her feet provocatively. Her breathing hitched when his palm cupped the back of her feet and gave it a slight pull.
An invoulantarily gasp leaked out from her mouth. Eyes still glued on her nervous face, Cedric asked in a demanding voice,
" Where else did he touch you?"
