Chapter 112 Dark calligraphy
His words so deliciously crude yet sexy, everything he was. Big, dark, handsome and with looks to back up every single tantalising fantasy he carried around and managed to imbed in me. It was tempting, his words went straight to my lower belly, igniting a deep ache between my thighs. I let out a whine, my mind conflicted.
"Think carefully love" his voice reminded, his hands cupping her ass cheeks and massaging firmly.
"It's not fair" I huffed. How was I supposed to choose? I wanted to see what he would do, my body was already ablaze but I also wanted to see what he planned for us.
He chuckled, the rich sound like dark chocolate going down my veins and ricocheting off the walls. "It's totally fair baby. When you decide to provoke me and render me completely helpless to your charms, especially with that scent on you" he growled lowly, dropping his face to the crook of my neck, inhaling deeply. "You should have thought of this if you knew you were going to test my resolve like this"
I nibbled on my lower lip, thinking.
"After?"
He pulled back, eyebrows raised and an amused look plastered on his face. A grin broke lit on his lips, making him look even sexier "After""

"You'll have to hold on love" Darius tells me as we walk up to the black stallion that stood elegantly in front of us. It's black skin glistening.
Orchid and Anaise were right to braid my hair. The wind blew, carrying the two strands that framed my face with it, almost blinding me. I huffed, tucking them behind my ear.
It was beautiful out tonight, the moon twinkles brightly, shinning her beautiful rays upon the land. There were no stars out tonight, letting the moon take all the glory for the pretty night.
"I wish I dressed more for the occasion" I sighed frustrated at the idea of getting on the horse with my dress.
"Don't worry we'll make it work" Darius cooed, stroking my cheek affectionately. "Come on"
I followed to the side of the horse, steadying myself as Darius placed a stepping stool for me, holding onto my hand as I climbed slowly. Strong, calloused hands gripped on to my hips, lifting me steadily onto the horse, letting me plop down, my legs on each side.
I blinked continuously, feeling my cheeks burn. I heard a light chuckle from Darius before I threw him a glare, ignoring how delicious he looked in his white tunic and dark pants, pants that displayed his powerful calves and his tunic outlining every protruding muscle on his body. Tightly woven muscles, encased in dark calligraphy.
"I'm sorry my love" he smiled cheekily and I simply looked away, waiting for him as he mounted the horse as well. Taking the horse by the reigns he once again told me to hold on but in my attempt to appear upset I only held onto his torso loosely, placing my forehead against his back.
He didn't protest and immediately nudged the side of the horse and we began moving. We were going on a steady paste and I was thankful for the view, the cool wind soothing my cheeks when all of a sudden the horse picked up the paste, galloping through the fields. I shrieked, tightening my grip and winding my arms securely around Darius's torso, burying the side of my face into his back and shutting my eyes tight. Wind began to slap against my face, the sound of the rushed wind hitting the shell of my ears.
My heart began racing and the only thing I could do was keep my eyes shut and hope it would end soon.
"Open your eyes love" I heard Darius say but I shook my head in the negative, tightening my grip the more. "Trust me love, open your eyes for me"
I inhaled deeply, despite the sounds flushing away in my ears. Prying my eyes open a light gasp left my lips at the scene, the trees, flowers and fields passing by us in a quick motion-not quick enough to not let me see them but the way the greenery blended together, coupled with the shine of the moon against their leaves creating a gorgeous effect. Immediately I began to feel myself loosen up, turning to the other side I watched them go by, a smile making its way on my lips. I giggled, loving the feel of the cool wind against my face.
Suddenly the scenery changed to one I couldn't recognize. I had tried to explore as much of inside and outside the castle as possible and by the look of things we were outside the castle but not over the border, probably at the outskirts. We began to slow down and I took notice of how much taller the trees became, the sound of crickets filling the air, the atmosphere becoming a lot more surreal. I could feel the wind settle, becoming a lot colder. I could hear running water from the distance and the urge to see where it was coming from pinched at me.
We came to a stop, the horse being pulled backwards to halt it's movements. I adjusted, pulling back and untangling my hands from Darius's torso. Darius held onto the reigns, throwing his leg off and jumping down from the horse in a swift movement. He led the horse making me sway a little before grabbing onto the horse properly. Darius led the horse to a thick tree bark, tying the horse securely to it.
Once the horse had been tied, Darius walked up to me, opening up his hands and gesturing me to get down. I braced myself, bringing my second leg over. Pushing myself off, Darius caught me effortlessly, his hands gripping firmly around my waist, holding me high as I gazed into his eyes.
I let my hands land on his shoulders, as he slowly placed me down on my feet. He lightly squeezed my waist reassuringly, sming down at me cutely.
"You okay?"
"Mhm" I hummed, smiling cheekily.
"Come on love" he grinned suspiciously and I got the message he was hiding something under that grin and the twinkling in his eyes.
He took hold of my hand, intertwining our fingers as he led me down the grassy path. I looked around to see our environment getting brighter, fire flies littering the air and illuminating the whole place. The whole thing looked so unreal it was gorgeous.
I felt a pull and I turned, noticing Darius had stopped. I came to a halt as well, walking back to him.
I gazed up at him curiously, my gaze flickering between him and the path ahead "What's wrong?"
