Chapter 26

Cassia’s Pov

“Show Me what you have learnt for far” he said, he reached out for Ariel’s wooden sword then gestured I chin up,I could feel the pitapat movement of my heart against my sweaty palm, my confidence was on a run,with just the sight of him before me, he seemed stoic and overly ready for a fight, and I had nothing to show up for it, but it’s Hadrian he wouldn’t hurt me right?.

He held the wooden sword before me, with a leg forward, i had no idea what next to do, if I should draw my sword as well, or take to my heels, as my opponent was a god with or without it, my dilated pupils strolled towards Ariel who held a mawkish smirk, I begged for an interruption but he should useless attempt to actually come to my refuge.

In a blink of an eye hadrian moved forward like the wind I could barely predict his move, i lost my footing, as I fell to the floor hard,he doesn’t stop there his stick hits my thighs hard and fast sending a sting of pain up my body I was quick to get on my feet, after a gruesome attempt to roll away from his next attack I broke my stick.

My heart skipped at the dwarfed swirl before me, which seemed to anger him even more, I had hoped he would have seen that as a sign of surrender, but he thrust his sword even further, forcing me backwards, taking to my heels I ran behind him, I kicked his legs but it felt like I had just collided with metal, a harsh sting of pain struck my, toes, he was quick to retaliate with a sudden slap on my thighs, then my torso.

The pain surged through me. I held my torso, still trying to calm my nerves down when he raised my chin up with the tip of his sword, my eyes were already coated with tears, too afraid to fall, “ why?” He asked totally annoyed, it was the silliest question to ask a lady he had just fought with, but before I could give an obvious reply he smacked my thighs again, then an attempt to kick my knees which ended up unsuccessful as sloped one’s more I succumbed to my to my feeble foot.

I felt suspended mid air with so much force exerted on my collar, I blinked owlishly at his being before me, backing the scorching sun, just when I had thought my pained fate was close he saved me, “ don’t trust your opponent, get on your knees” he said authoritatively.

“Now!”

The sudden change in demeanor baffled me, how he could be sweet, for a second then this grating the next second, I got to my knees, while sipping my now soaked eyes, every part of my body seemed to ache, with the way he fought I couldn’t come to a agreeable conclusion who was a worse mentor between Ariel and Hadrian both were so bad, yet so good at it.

“ Don’t move till I say so”

He walked over to Ariel telling him on his shoulder, they shared a glance for a second before Hadrian walked away, whatever they had mindlinked was definitely about me.

“Ariel” I called out,

“ Stay, like he said Cassia.”

•••

My head bowed and my hands over my head, my knees felt so much pain, it went numb, it's been so long and Hadrian was nowhere to be found, Ariel was seated beneath a tree shade while I was under the setting sun, hoping I slept through it.Then I felt strong arms wrapped around me, before I could retaliated, his scent engulfed me, I wanted to fight him so badly, but my body felt too weak to actually tackle myself out of his arms.

He carried me into the castle, then stripped me of my training attire. As he carried me into the restroom, he was back to his kind and caring side, but my body still ached from the torment he had made me go through, when I had barely trained for days. After the oddly satisfying wash he still didn’t utter a word to me, so did I, he took out my dress from the closet then attempted to put it on, but the pretense began to irk me, I dragged it from his hands, then leaped on my aching knees as I wore my clothes.

He still doesn’t say a word, he walked over to the closet, took a bottle of ointment then gestured I lay on the bed, which I was reluctant to do, he took my legs then carried it on the bed, he said before me, gently rubbing his fingers on my red sore knees.

“Stop it” choked on my words, he doesn’t stop, instead he ignored me,while he proceeded up my thighs, “ stop” I said again removing his hands, he looked at me, anger flashed in his eyes, “ you don’t learn how to fight with so much reluctance” he pulled my hands then my waist till I was seated beside him, his lips pressed on my forehead, it sent a wave of ice flakes down my heated body .

“I watched you the whole time” he said, before I could reply he placed my back on the bed, pressing his lips on mine, gently gliding deeper into my mouth, gently my twigs decreases as his fingers tenderly caresses my body,he trailed down my thighs, and my heart quivered the moment he rubbed in between my thighs.

“In other to learn how to fight you need to be motivated” he said, his warm whispered tickled me, my racing heart took a toil on me, gently I felt his lips against my skin, he placed gently kisses right there, I couldn’t contain with my anxiety anymore,and the sudden flush of desire “ you must learn to control what happens to you” he moved closer till I felt his tongue on my bare skin, it swept in between my pu**y, then gently upward, a rush of ecstasy engulfs me, I quivered at the unexpectancy.

“Take control” he whispered, my perplexed mind could barely comprehend what he had just said, but I wanted to feel more of what he had just made me feel, so I did my fingers into his hair, I hands pushed him downward till I felt him fully submerged, he took me whole in his mouth, sucking and licking, my toes cranked up as my body warmed up to the sensation, then raised his head again just when I was getting to the peak, he went deeper this time having my clit at the mercy of his tongue.

I couldn’t contain my muffled moan, any more, I shiver his head deeper, my back arched to the wave of pleasure gently coaxing my body, the warm rush brewing deep within me, he teased me even further till it deluded me, my legs quivered to the draining feeling of climax, he pulled his head up, my damp eyes trailed his face, he licked his mouth lips tantalizing, his lips stretched in a sarcastic smirk, i could see my cum on his lips, then on his nose, my fingers rubbed against my nose, telling him he had something on his nose.

He leaned over rubbing the tip of his nose on my lips, it tasted salty and unique, “ do you want me to finish ” he asked , trailing his fingers back and forth my thighs, I nod wishing he didn’t stop.

“Then do something about it”
