IS HE FOR REAL?
Why is he doing this to me?! Fetching water from that freaking well is not easy!
I took a deep sigh and forced a smile. Good thing his body is exposed. I'll take that as motivation.
I grabbed the other bucket and went back outside to fetch water. While I was waiting for the bucket to be filled, was Cyrus's seventh sense more powerful than Ma'am Hasha’s?
I kept wondering if Cyrus could read everything I was thinking about. It would be so embarrassing if he figured out that I've been thinking about him since day one.
Even back on that day, I met him at the shoe shop. If he read my mind that day, I hope he remembers me. Because I have never stopped thinking about him since the day he saved me when we were kids. Perhaps he also doesn't remember that moment though.
I shrugged my shoulders and started to fill the other bucket with water.
Starting now, I really should learn how to conceal my thoughts immediately before Cyrus figures out how much I fantasize about him. It would immensely disgust him and I could imagine his worst punishment happening to me already.
“Hey, Eagle. What are you doing here? Fetching water?”
Kieran stood by my side as he looked down the well.
“There’s no water,” I replied.
“NO WATER? IN THE CASTLE?”
I nodded my head and looked at the sky. It's almost dusk. Cyrus must already take a bath before the evening comes.
“That’s the most impossible thing I've ever heard!” Kieran said, a horrible laugh. “The water in the castle is unlimited. It doesn't stop, Eagle.”
I took the second bucket of water and placed it on the ground. I scowled at Kieran for being too loud.
“I told you, there is no water. Cyrus is waiting for me, so if you don't mind, I'll go.”
I left Kieran and rushed back to the castle. For the second time, I saw Cyrus in the same position at the pool. However, right now, he is playing with a blue petal in between his fingers. The way his fingers played with that petal made me feel what he did to me that night again.
No, Aquilla. Conceal your thoughts. Think about something else!
I kept panting in exhaustion. This is already enough exercise for the whole year!
“Here it is, Alpha. Two buckets of cold water.” I was about to pour the water into the pool but Cyrus stood up and walked away. He grabbed a black silk robe and covered his body with it.
I stood there as I watched him slowly walk away. What is he doing?
“Uh—w-wouldn’t you —”
He gave me a sideways glance over his shoulder. “Forget it, Omega. I'm done. If you want to take a bath, just use that water. I lost my energy.”
As he said that, he vanished from my sight.
I dropped to the floor and stared blankly at the water. I remained puzzled like that for a few minutes. It just felt so heavy on the inside that I couldn't even process what just happened.
Was that the real Cyrus? Or was it just an illusion? Or perhaps I am still under Tobby’s charm?
Why is he suddenly so rude to me? Was it because I brought him a blueberry cheesecake the last time? Oh, come on! An Alpha king wouldn't be too petty to even throw a fit just because of a cake!
I sighed and continued pouring the buckets of cold water into the pool. It would be a waste if this water wasn't used, so I might as well just take a bath. It has been a long day and I also feel the need to relax.
But should I take a bath here? This is Cyrus's private bathroom.
Nevermind. He told me earlier to take a bath if ever I wanted to. This is his fault for being so unpredictable. I don't know why he's being so mean and acting like a child out of the blue.
I removed my dirty clothes and let them fall down to the floor. I soaked myself in the cold water as I closed my eyes in relaxation.
“I have never tried this thing before. I didn't know it would feel this amazing,” I whispered.
My face lightened up as I continued playing with the cold water. Eventually, the heater started to turn on by itself and the water from the faucet also came back. What a blessing!
Fog filled the place as the temperature increased. I grabbed the body wash and started to gently clean my body with my hands. I started with my neck down to my chest, down to my thighs, legs, and feet. The smell is so addictive!
I rinsed my body as I soaked myself back into the water. The fog slowly disappeared and I saw a figure of a man at the other edge of the pool. My eyes stretched out as I saw Cyrus right there, watching me bathe with a dagger-throwing gaze.
Uh-oh.
Was he here since a while ago? Or did he just come? Did he see me naked?
The last thing I know is that he suddenly appeared closer to me. I couldn't move. I couldn't get myself to stand up from this cold water and cover myself. I just stood there and stared at his piercing blue eyes looking at me.
“Why do you keep making things hard for me?” Cyrus asked with his deep and hoarse voice as he moved even closer to me.
“Why do you keep running inside my head?”
He moves closer and closer.
“And why are you taking a bath here? Don't you know that you are not allowed to do this? This is my place, Omega.”
That's it. I'm leaving. I've had enough embarrassments and I've already had enough—
“And what makes you think I'll let you go just like that?” he said in a sexy whisper with a smirk on his lips.
I straightened my body in an attempt to leave, my heart was heavily racing, but Cyrus placed his large hands on either side of my face and started to kiss me. His tongue gently grazed my lips as I opened my mouth to let him own me. I kissed him back. We kissed each other, passionately, again.
Just this time. This will be the last time. After this, it won't happen again.
As our kisses went deeper, I felt like I couldn't do anything any more. I'm giving in to him once again, and I don't think I could ever keep myself from giving in. If it's Cyrus, I would always give in.
We parted for a second to breathe. I didn't even get enough air but he started to kiss me again.
We moved closer to each other against the cold water. Our temperature kept rising as our hearts moved in heat. I felt his bare skin on mine and I couldn't ask for anything better than this anymore.
His hand went down my waist as he pulled me even closer. I got the instinct of my wolf to wrap my legs around his waist, so I did. I am feeling too hot. He is also too hot. We are both boiling in the heat.
I felt him hard, which made me more aroused. He just kept kissing me while his hands were traveling all around my bare body. He pushed me to the edge of the pool and I became more sensitive.
He started moving my hips back and forth, making me rub his abdomen. I pulled from the kiss to mo*n.
“O-oh m-my—”
Why is he so good at doing this to me?
My hips bucked upward on their own accord and I moved them side by side, up and down, on my own and continued kissing him. He smiled and seemed so proud that I was rubbing on him without his help anymore.
Oh, baby, I may be a fast learner when it comes to this.
Cyrus's big hands went up my b**bs as his fingers brushed on my n*pples quickly. I kept groaning like crazy. I sped up and continued rubbing my sensitive bud on him until I felt like coming.
However, as I was about to come, he pulled away from me and got out of the pool. He's still got them big and hard but he managed to get up. He grabbed his robe and wrapped himself immediately. After that, he looked at me and smiled.
I felt immense disappointment deep in my soul. Why didn't he let me finish at least?! Is he teasing me?!
“I won't give you the satisfaction, Omega.”
