"Do you love me?"
Eve blinked at his words, she searched his face for the hint of amusement he usually carried but found none.
The reflection of a nearby lantern made his red eyes appear fiery coupled with his height against hers which made her compare him to a demon. An utterly shameless one.
He took a step closer to her and she gulped, taking two wide steps back.
"You are obsessed with controlling me" she whispered with her heart racing.
A faint smile appeared on his lips "No, I am obsessed with how you fail to resist me every single time and it got my poor self thinking you are in love, so tell me, do you love me?"
Eve's eyes darted between the door and him, hoping for anyone to come in. On a second thought that would make the situation worse as the man was persistent on getting want he wanted.
Lying was also not an option.
"Speak Evelyn, or is there something in throat?, let me help" he took another cunning step closer.
She was quick to avert to the side where she would not be caged to the wall.
"I am alright My Lord"
Immediately she looked up at his face she regretted her action.
In a split second he was right in front of her causing her to stumble backwards.
