It's night and Desmond is not letting me go.
"Desmond, you have to take your medicine."
"You are not leaving." He nuzzles closely to me. I smiled.
"I am not. But-"He cut me off,
"No buts. Stay." How will he recover if he won't take his medicines?
"Medicine," I said a little sternly. But, since when can I win against his overwhelming power? He gripped my wrists and flipped over me. He was on top of me as my heart began to pound. I felt some sudden strange sensations in my stomach. He was panting heavily as his Gray eyes bore into my Blue ones. I let out a soft pant. His eyes are tired. He leaned in as I turned my head to my side a little as I convulsed under his touch. He brushed his lips against my cheeks. His heavy breath is taking my breath away.
"You.are.not.leaving."He ordered as he laid back again. I let out my breath which stopped temporarily at that moment. He turned to me as I faced him. He hugged me. His arms are holding me captive possessively. I run my fingers through his hair.
And my happiness can't be explained. Finally, my wish came true. His raven hairs are so soft. I loved running my fingers. I twirl my fingers around his Pitch black locks. An exhilarating sensation washed over me. Shall I kiss his forehead? No, I am thinking too far. That moment is pure salvation to me. I closed my eyes as I drifted to sleep too.
In the morning, we both woke up because of the knock.
"What do you want!?" He almost yelled in irritation. I shivered as I got scared. He spares a glance at me. I looked at him scared; the fright that my short-Lived moment of Heavenly Fondness ended. But, Before I could back away. He pulled me close. I remained still as I let out rapid breaths.
"Sir, Mr and Mrs Corte are here." He growled a little.
"I-It's alright. I-I go and g-greet them." He gave me an annoyed look as he let me go.
"Promise. You'll come back soon.”
''I promise."I smiled as he let go of me with a frown filled with anger. Even though his anger is not directed towards me; it still scares me.I went to the bathroom and readied up a little.
I entered the Lounge and greeted Mr and Mrs Corte.
"Good Morning!" I smiled as they greeted me too. Mrs Corte excused herself as she went to check up on Desmond, leaving me and Mr Corte alone. We both took a seat as Mr Corte began to say,
"Does Desmond treat you right?"
"Oh yes. He does. I am very happy" I smiled as some unclear thoughts lingered in my mind. I am happy but, at the same time, I am not.
"Did you tell your parents about the contract?"He asked again.
"No." I shook my head. He smiled.
"Thank you...For still staying with him.", "Pleasure is all mine." I smiled modestly.
"What about breakfast?"I asked.
"Oh, we will take it later." I nodded.
Then Mrs Corte came and said in a teasing manner,
"What spell have you cast on my son?"
"Excuse me?"I said dumbfounded.
"He said that he wants you and no one else with him." I blushed. I can't believe what my ears are hearing. I stood there blinking.
"Why are you still standing? Go." Mrs Corte said.
"What about you guys? It will be rude." I want to go back to him but when they are here how can I go? It's so impolite.
"Don't worry about us."They smile reassuringly.
"But-"
"Ester, Your top priority is your husband." Mrs Corte told me. I nodded and gave them an apologetic look and left.
I enter the room. Desmond was sitting on the bed. He gave me an angry look. My heart skipped a beat and My legs began to tremble.
"You told mother about my sickness?" He said in a stern tone.
"Y-yes...I don't know..."
"You don't know what?"He asked as he motioned me to come closer. I stood in front of him and looked down. He is getting impatient because of my lack of response.
"I-I don't know how to t-take care of an s-sick person." I shudder in fear. He sighed as he pulled me to him. I sat in his laps as my face turned red. I looked away shyly as he pulled me close.
"T-take b-breakfast p-please," I said, putting my hands at my chest to create some distance. My tone is more soft than usual.
"You are scared." He said seriously. I bit my cheek, my gaze could not meet his. He shifted a little as I abruptly got up. He also got out and ran his hands in his soft raven locks.
"How are you feeling?" I asked."Better." He said as he went to the bathroom. Looks like the cold Desmond is back. I smiled a little. He got out. He wore his coat, completing his Dominant presence. His authoritative aura is back. I leaned on the wall as I watched him getting ready. I smiled, Seeing him back to his health. His cologne smell is so intoxicating. I let that smell fill my nostrils. He turned to me and ordered,
"Close the buttons" I looked at my shirt then at him. I flushed when I realized he meant his.
I walked to him and closed the buttons of his coat. His eyes are scanning me, watching how my flushed face buttons his coat. My heart skipped a beat when he pulled me close,
"You keep your promise." He said with a smile. To say that I am happy would be an understatement; I am Exhilarated. I felt all the things around me stopped. My content is unimaginable. I grinned at him.
"Come. Ester la Corte" My heart stopped when he called me. A shy smile formed on my lips as I left with him. I was lost in my own happiness, I didn't notice him stopping. He was frowning at me. I was walking behind him. I stood beside him,
"Sorry.."I mumbled as he sighed and we went to the dining hall,
