After the court meeting, Ivor searched for Thrianna,he needed to find out what exactly was wrong with her,she had been limping all day,he had spotted her so many times, and the stubborn little thing wouldn't sit down at a spot,at first he had thought it a morning twitch but it obviously wasn't,it was quite annoying how she was still going around with that foot,he thought as he went out to the garden and she wasn't there,he went back,she might be in the library, and with that thought he went straight to the library, but she wasn't there,he was getting very irritated by the concept of not finding her,what was he doing? He tried to trail her scent but it was just everywhere, adding further to his irritation.
"Is it alright?"Thrianna asked as she watched Maggie from the side,she had come to the stable to ask Mr Anton to get her horse ready but unfortunately it wasn't feeling too well,she had stayed behind to ,he had offered her another horse but she wasn't going to have any other,she would have escaped with this one,so she had decided to stay in the stable a little longer, Mr Anton had begged her to leave, saying that the stable was no place for the queen to be but she had declined,she had even dismissed the stable boy in charge of Maggie and fed her Instead,if she knew she would be working today,she would have worn something a little lighter and comfortable,but it wasn't a tedious task, it was rather a useful way to pass time,she had thought of writing to her family today ,but she didn't,that was the tedious task,she smiled as she rubbed her palm against Maggie's muzzle.
"Good girl."she whispered and it neighed lightly. She picked up the pail she used in getting some water and limped out of the stable to place it in the lot and just as she turned to head back into the stable she was lifted off the ground,her eyes widened immediately,she looked up to see who it was even if she already knew.
"I demand you put me down this instant."she said struggling to get off, but he was having none of that,why wasn't he saying anything? They passed by some maid servants and Thrianna didn't even want to imagine what they were thinking now,the arrogant lord didn't have a little bit of shame in his beastly bones.
"Let me down!"she said as she kept struggling even if she knew there was no use,as he wouldn't let her down till they got to his desired destination.
She used her hands to cover her face instead till they got to the room,he opened the door with one of his hands and slammed it close behind them after he stepped in,he immediately plonked her on the bed and she stretched her skirt glaring daggers at him,he paid no heed to her,he just took off his waist coat and flung it to the side,then he tugged on his cravat to lossen it and freed some buttons of his shirt before he climbed onto the bed then he took one of her legs.
"What are you doing!?"she shot as she tried to pull away, but again it was of no use,he took off her shoe and reached beneath her gown for her garter and she gasped and struggled lose again,the perverted shameless thing!
"Let me go!, what in the world are you trying to do!?"she shot again, and when he rolled her sock away her words got stuck in her throat,so was her breath,his hands held her ankle while he rubbed his thump over the sole of her feet,what was he doing? He was rubbing her feet? Why was he rubbing her feet?,she watched him as he did what ever he was doing,how did God create someone so indecently handsome? It wasn't at all fair, right now she felt like the doted wife, and he the doting husband and sincerely speaking it wasn't a bad thought, until she realized that she had just considered the thought of being his wife for the second time in one day,oh dear!, what was wrong with her poor heart,she thought as she placed her hand on her chest to try as much as possible to keep her heart rate normal or he might just hear it,her cheeks reddened as she kept watching him, and was it warmth she felt creeping into her heart?,no probably not,she thought as she shook her head.
He kept her leg aside and took the other one and made to reach for her garter again but she spoke up
"I'll do it."she wouldn't let him do things like that to her,they weren't even married yet , but then he was having none of that,he swatted her hand away and pulled on her garter and then rolled her socks away while she bit her lip as his fingers brushed over her thigh,she looked at his partly opened chest and her mouth went dry,and as if sensing her thoughts he looked up at her and tilted his head to the side and she looked away gwaning on her lower lip,then he rubbed a sore spot on the sole of her feet and she winced.
"What happened to your feet!"he asked finally talking to her and not in the most polite way.
"What?,nothing!"she shot back at him,was this why he carried her all the way from the stable to the room?
"Then explain to me why you have been limping all day-"
She was limping?,she hadn't even noticed.
"-and this."he said as he pressed at the spot that had made her wince.
"Ooouch!"she screamed as he pressed harder, this was torture,the man didn't know how to treat a woman or court one!
"I really don't know."she hadn't even noticed it until he said it, but it seemed like he didn't believe her so he pressed it again.
A tear dropped from her eyes as she shot,"I said I don't know!, it's really painful."she sniffed and he finally let it rest for a while,he reached for her face as he wiped her tears with his thumb,he was crazy, Thrianna thought. Why wipe her tears when he was the one that made her cry? And her foot wasn't hurt before,she traced back to the night before,she was sure she didn't hurt it while running back into the room and she didn't hurt it while working in the stable either if that was the case then the only place she had remembered getting hurt was in her dream.
