Chapter 30 I Gave You A Chance.
Elena Pov
The images in my mind exploded into pieces and my mind went blank as I stared at the board in front of me in a daze. I couldn't come back to my senses for a while, and everything around me felt like darkness after the bright images that had corroded my mind and brought me into another lustful world that belonged to Marcus disappeared
Then I felt a soft breathing that was so close to me that it burnt my skin. I furrowed my brows, tilted my head in confusion, then slowly turned to the side and only then did I meet the dark, cold eyes that stared piercingly at me like I was some kind of beef that needed to be chopped.
The cold gaze pierced through my mind and went straight to my brain, and snapped me back to my senses, then the memories of everything that had happened came flashing back.
Being caught by Marcus, being pressured, the drawing and—
My eyes widened in surprise and the threatening voice of Marcus echoed in my mind again. My heart trembled and I couldn't help the coldness that attacked my bones as I felt chills run down my spine.
Oh my goodness! The rule!
“Back to your senses now?”
His cold hiss sounded and they caused the blood flowing in my body to freeze from the aura that burst out of Marcus who stood behind me. I swallowed hard, and my fingers couldn't help but start trembling.
I remember his rules clearly, and I fear that I might have failed. To be honest, after I sat down on the stool and looked at Marcus, it felt like I had been taken to another world, and I can't even remember what I had seen or imagined, but from the way my nipples ached and scratched my clothes and the way my pussy throbbed and called for me to touch it, I just knew it wasn't anything innocent. But that wasn't the most important, instead, it was the fact that I didn't know if I had drawn anything.
I gulped, clenched my fist hard and I couldn't even raise my head to look at the board. The feeling of loss overwhelmed me and I don't know what I might have drawn or maybe I hadn't even drawn anything on the white sheet on the board.
I bit my lips as I was lost in my own thoughts, then I heard a low chuckle that interrupted me and seemed to wake something in the night.
My brows furrowed and I turned to look at Marcus who still stood behind me. This time, I wasn't smiling, and I put on a stubborn expression on my face.
“You—” I began, but when I raised my head, my eyes collided with his deep ones and my heart couldn't help but skip a beat and again, I forgot whatever I wanted to say.
Yes, I had wanted to tell him how unfair this was. He knew how attractive he was and expected me to concentrate when he looked dangerously sexy in front of me.
How the hell am I to do that?! I'm not an innocent omega, okay?!
These words are what I wished to yell at him right now, but looking into those eyes, my mind went blank and I could only stare with a heart shaking and pounding and a face as red as a baby's butt.
“Elena…”
“Mhm~?” I responded unconsciously to his call that sounded like a caress and continued to gaze into his captivating eyes.
“I gave you a chance.”
I snapped back to my senses when I heard his confusing words. I tilted my head in confusion, my face morphed into one of daze and I stared at him, hoping he could explain what he meant by that word, but the expression on the face of Marcus was too deep to understand.
He stood there, his upper chest still naked and strong, his lower body covered in a white towel that left one imagining what was behind it, and his expression—
Calm.
Yes, Marcus’s expression was too calm, but his eyes that stared at me showed me something different.
Danger, tension, a fire that surged rapidly like he wanted to burn down something, and… something mysterious that I can't understand, but I could see it clearly in those dark eyes of his.
I knew that as a powerful alpha, it’d be too hard to read him except he wanted you to and it was very rare to see emotions in those eyes of Marcus and seeing those surging emotions, it made me wonder what he was trying to do.
The night was silent. Only Marcus and I stood by the poolside but an undercurrent seemed to be going on in secret.
The air felt tight between us, and somehow, I felt cold on the outside, but my inside was boiling like hot lava. The tension surged in the space, and they made my heart beat faster and made my pulse rise.
I didn't know what was happening, I don't know what changed, and for a moment, I totally forgot about the drawing, the rules he had given, and even myself. But one thing I knew was that— Something was surging, but what it was is what I don't know.
Suddenly, I felt a shift in the air which snapped me out of my daze. I didn't say a word as I watched Marcus move towards me slowly. His steps were slow, but strong and every step he took felt like he was stepping on my heart.
Thud Thud Thud…
My heart drummed aloud, and I bet he could hear the sound, but he didn't stop.
I watched nervously as Marcus walked closer, and my breath came out shaky and loose. I didn't know what he wanted to do, but I stood still. But as he came closer and closer, I felt his aura descend on me, my legs turned soft, my fist clenched beside me, my lips trembled, and my eyes snapped shut as I waited for the punishment.
I didn't know what he would do, but the pressure he released made my body grow tense. My eyes were closed tightly, but my ears were strained to listen to the sounds around me.
Suddenly, I felt soft breathing next to my ear and the next second it was gone.
My heart shivered from shock, I gulped and tried to regulate my breathing, but then, my brows furrowed strangely.
“Why is it so quiet?” I muttered quietly to myself, then opened my eyes but the view in front of me made me hold my breath.
In the hand of Marcus was the plain drawing sheet that was on the easel!
Now, I really want to cry…
“Oh my goodness! He didn't even give me time to prepare!”
I bite my lips pitifully and my eyes become moist from nervousness. I didn't know what was on the sheet, and I don't even know if I had drawn anything, but the threat of Marcus rang in my mind and this made me panic because I knew Marcus was someone who would really do as he said.
I bit my lips gently while carefully watching the expression on his face, but all I saw was calmness which was even more dangerous.
Is he angry? What's on the sheet? Will he really tie me up and make me unable to use my hands again?
Oh my goodness!
My heart pounded against my rib and the thought of never using my hands to draw again made me almost collapse.
“What the hell?! The idea of tying me up and fucking me is nice, but breaking my hands isn't good at all…” I panicked and lowered my eyes in deep thought.
Suddenly, a cold snort sounded.
I raised my head sharply only to see the sheet that Marcus had been holding now shown to me.
My brow raised in confusion, and I looked at Marcus blankly.
Marcus narrowed his eyes and a glint flashed past his eyes, then his cold, low whisper sounded, causing a ripple in the air, “Is this how you fantasise about me, hmm…Elena?”
My eyes widened in surprise at his words, and somehow, an uneasy feeling washed over me. My heart pounded, but I still moved my gaze towards the sheet and what I saw made my breathing freeze.
“Oh my goodness! How the hell did this happen?! What have I done?!”
