With my head bowed, I sank my teeth into her collarbone. I continued until her entire body was covered in marks of shades of red.
After a few minutes of getting flirted with, Sylvia had already forgotten about her initial disappointment. She was obviously aroused as she groaned with pleasure and began to beg for more kisses.
When things were about to lose control, I stopped myself and instead wrapped her in the quilt. Then I held her across the quilt, trying to calm down.
“Baby, we can’t do that right now. Let’s wait until the fetus is stable enough.”
Embarrassed, Sylvia she hid her face under the quilt, and murmured, “You are the one who wants it.”
My heart almost melted when I saw her adorable flushed face. I held her even more tightly, not wanting to let her go.
After a while, I slid my hand into the quilt and gently touched her slightly bulging belly. “Baby, stop messing with me, okay? Can you tell me why you want to escape from me? Is there something you are hiding from me? Or did Noreen do something again? Tell me so we can solve the problem together.”
Sylvia kept silent for a while and turned to look at me seriously. “What if I just don’t love you anymore?”
Sylvia’s POV
When I said this, even I admired myself for the stupid courage.
I was probably the first and only person who had dared to provoke Rufus like this.
I didn’t have the nerve to meet his eyes, but I had to, because Rufus held my face and forced me to look at him.
His face darkened as he said in a low voice, “Repeat what you just said.”
I gulped hard and my hands began to quiver under the quilt.
“I… I…”
Rufus pursed his lips, his sharp eyes watching me fiercely. He was grim and sullen. His chilly demeanor seemed to freeze the air around us, and I involuntarily sobbed.
“I’m just making an assumption. Don’t take it seriously…”
“Don’t assume something that is completely impossible!” he interrupted me, his eyes bloodshot.
I quickly nodded and flinched. “Yes! It’s impossible. I just said if.”
Still not satisfied, Rufus kissed me hard, preventing me from speaking anything again. This time, the kiss was so rough and intense that I was forced to open my mouth wide and take it. And he even bit me!
Rufus didn’t release me until I was out of breath. His eyes blazed with rage and his breathing was erratic, as if he was restraining an impulse that was about to burst forth.
I was scared and guilty. If I had known how violent he would react, I would not have said that to annoy him. I had never thought that he would lose control like this.
“I’m sorry, Rufus. I know what I did made you feel insecure. And I didn’t mean… I mean, I just said if…”
His face darkened further. The more I spoke, the more confidence I lost. Finally, I decided to just shut up.
Rufus took a deep breath to calm himself down. His voice trembled from his intense emotions. “Sylvia, listen to me. Don’t talk about these hypothetical questions ever again. Even if you’re joking, I can’t bear it. If you say it again, I won’t spare you.”
I dropped my head and nestled into his arms fawningly. “I know, I know. I’m just so bored. I can’t think straight anymore after being confined to this room all day long.”
Rufus didn’t add anything. He was probably still angry.
I didn’t dare to create another scene. I leaned forward to wrap my legs around his long ones, and then rubbed my head against his broad chest like a spoiled child. “Don’t be mad. I know I was wrong. But I really don’t want to stay in this room every day. I’ll lose my mind. Let me out to get some fresh air, please.”
“No,” he replied with a straight face.
“No,” he replied with a straight face.
I whimpered and then raised my head to kiss the corner of his mouth. “I promise I won’t leave the imperial palace.”
Rufus met my eyes, his lips curled up in disdain. He didn’t say anything, as if he had already read my mind.
Damn it! I had lost Rufus’ trust completely.
“I’m really bored. I can’t let Yana sing every day. Her voice has become hoarse after singing for hours this afternoon.” I gave him a small smile and tried my best to coax him to agree.
“Maya has arranged something for you to kill time. She’ll bring them to you tomorrow.” Rufus parted his thin lips slightly. He still had a stony expression and his attitude was tough.
I sighed, completely disinterested. I angrily turned my back to him and said, “It must be something for little girls. Whatever they are, I don’t want them.”
Rufus spun me around and forced me to meet his eyes. “What do you want? I’ll buy it for you.”
I pouted and seriously considered his question. Suddenly, I was struck with an idea and sat up excitedly. “There is one thing I want!”
Sylvia’s POV
Rufus stood up as well and pulled up my collar that had slipped down my shoulder. “What is it?” he asked softly.
“This time, I returned to the pack and obtained my mother’s inheritance, but many things are still to be tested. A crystal ball is one of the things included in the inheritance. With the ball, I can look into the past and present of any given individual. I want to try if I could see Leonard again.”
As I spoke, I hauled Rufus out of bed and into the study.
It was a separate room attached to the bedroom and as big as the latter. In it was an enormous bookshelf packed with books that reached all the way up to the ceiling. At night, the warm yellow wall lamps that hung from the edge of each shelf cast a cozy glow. On the large desk sat Rufus’ unfinished documents.
With bare feet, I walked across the study and reached into a drawer for a sheet of paper and a pen. After dragging Rufus over to the leather chair, I perched on his legs while writing down the things I needed.
“Can you get me gold sandy stone?” I turned my head and asked.
Rufus rested his head on my shoulder and nodded slightly. “Sure, but this black basalt can only be bought in the black market. It may take some time to get it because only witches and wizards sell it.”
“It’s okay. I can wait.” I bit the pen cover and checked the list. Then I handed the paper to Rufus and said, “Thank you, honey. I am counting on you now. I don’t want to be bored to death in the room.”
Rufus laughed and folded the paper before tucking it away in his pocket. “I see.”
After that, I wanted to get off his lap, but Rufus refused. He pressed me against him and kissed me again. We couldn’t have sex right now, but he kept flirting with me.
