Beastly

Little imp

"I have something to say."she said looking up at him but he didn't as much as make a sound,his eyes remained closed but she went on to speak.

"I want to visit the village, it's really-"

"Sleep Cathrianna."his voice was sharp cutting her off immediately.

She gritted her teeth as her blood boiled in anger ,this was their fourth night and for most of it he always shushed her ,she wasn't a puppet and he would learn that tonight,she fisted her hands as she slammed them repeatedly on his chest.

"I am not your puppet-"

"Stop it."he said as he tried calming her down.

"-you can not hush me as you wish i-"she continued.

"I said stop it!"he said trying to grab her hands to stop her from hitting him.

"-will talk as I wish and you-"

"Sleep Cathrianna!"

"Can do absolutely nothing about -" she gasped as he drew her closer than usual,her hands were curled in a ball as they made rested on his bare chest,his head was slightly tilted and they we're so close that she was scared to move with the fear that their lips might touch,her heart skipped several beats and as if he heard it a smug smile touched his lips and her breath ragged further,then his eyes left her's and trailed down from the bridge of her nose to her lips,soft looking tempting lips that said too much ,she licked her lips subconsciously as it felt dry all of a sudden turning it damp and harder to resist and he leaned in a little more closely.

"Wh-what are you doing?"she managed to say in between laboured breaths before it was too late.

His smile deepened and that damned dimple on his left cheek came into view.

"Getting you to shut up."he said and something flickered in the depths of his grey eyes.

She closed her eyes and drew in a long breath to calm her mind,he was going to make her go out of her wits,but she wouldn't let him,she flattened her palm on his chest carefully as she made to push herself free but instead he drew her closer completely invading her personal space ,his hold tightened around her as his breathed in her exquisite scent,she scented of rose water and this odd mixture between chocolates and vanilla and something else he couldn't quite name.

She felt the tip of his nose lay feathered touches on her neck, trailing up, down and up again as he breathed in,it was toe curling,she shut her eyes at the feel of him and the only thing between them was her hands that still lay on his chest and the flimsy material of her night frock and she drew in a sharp breath as his lips fell on the nook of her neck at the very tender spot causing goosebumps to rise on her skin,his lips were soft and warm against her neck and he spoke.

"Little imp, you seem to have quite a lot of spirits tonight, it would be such a shame to let such energy go to waste when we could utilize it for something much better,"he said as he let one stray finger trail the center of her back going down very slowly and her breath hitched."if you know what I mean."he said as he kissed the slope of her neck and she shivered to his obvious delight.

"I-i-i'll sleep." she spoke obviously unsettled by his actions, good lords!,she was a fumbling mess,she couldn't even speak right.

"Good girl."he said as he settled back but not as much as before.

She felt like she had just ran a mile ,at this rate sleeping wouldn't come as easily to her as it normally did.

Morning seemed to take too long to arrive and when it finally did she was never a happier person,she had never wanted to be separated from something so badly,she stood from bed and walked awkwardly to the privy.

Who knew she could be so quiet,he thought as he smiled,he stood from bed grabbing a shirt he donned it on as he left the room, seconds later a bath was prepared for her and she soaked in it,washing herself vigorously,not because she felt repulsed but because her skin felt tingly,she shouldn't feel anything,she reminded herself, nothing!,she would have to find a way out of here very or things could get worse.

After she was done with her bath and preparation,she left the room to the dinning hall and halfway through her meal he walked into the hall, dressed for breakfast,she didn't dare look up at him but she felt his gaze on her,why in the name of heavens would he arrive for breakfast today of all days she would rather be alone.

"Good morning,milord."she greeted as she couldn't get herself to do it back in the bedroom.

"Good morning, I take you had a comfortable rest."he asked as the butler served him thin slices of roast partridge,and then he refilled Thrianna's glass of milk before going back to his position.

She finally looked up at him sending him a glare,he was mocking her, and he smiled innocently at her.

"I wish you to ready yourself by the time of afternoon."he said taking a bite from his plate.

"Why?"she asked.

"You'll see."he said and she didn't know why she looked forward to it.

Thrianna dressed in a simple off-white gown with long sleeves and a little bit of frills and soft pink floral patterns printed on it,the tailor had done a good job in the designing of her gowns and she had asked for more of long sleeved gowns because of the weather,it never seemed to be warm, her hair was pinned up very beautifully and she looked absolutely lovely,he took her hand and lead her to the carriage,she went in and say at the far end of the carriage while he entered and closed the door.

This would be her first time out of the castle and she felt quite excited,she flexed her gloves fingers repeatedly as she looks out the window,this view never ceased to creep her out,there wasn't a single living tree in sight,it looked like a waist land and she shivered at the sight of it,she could only imagine how glorious it looked when it still had life.
