Chapter 128 My torment
AUDREY
"I'm sure you do my love" he insists, bringing his face so close to mine before I pull away and he hold onto my hand, twirling me around and my gown blows out around me. He pulls me back, dipping me. In that moment his lips brushes mine gently, my body submitting to the light seductive touch of his lips against mine. His lips swiftly press against mine before he pulls me back up, tightening his hold on me and deepening the kiss.
Everyone around us bursts into cheers and I snap out of my sex induced haze. Pulling back I look around, finding a place I could pass and quickly walking away, knowing full well Darius would follow after.
I pass by guests as they glance curiously at me before going back to their previous activities. I quicken my steps, climbing up the stairs and to the West Wing. The guards bow, watching me as I practically rush into Darius and my chambers. I don't have the pleasure to turn around and close the door because Darius is already in the room. I watch him breathlessly as he turns around, pushing the door closed behind him and locking it. Somehow that action alone made my pulse quicken and excitement electrify my core.
Slowly he takes careful, calculated steps towards me, his gaze fixated on my form. Suddenly he's close, so close. He continues to step forward and with each step he takes towards me I take one back until my back is against the wall.
Fiddlesticks! I was cornered.
Swallowing hard I tried to focus my gaze on him and sound confident and unaffected by his sultry stare.
"W-why don't you go back to that red haired chimpanzee" I bite out, unable to keep the tremble out of my voice. I even stuttered
His eyes regarded me with a dark and dangerously erotic look, piercing right through me making my skin tingle. He looked like he was going to devour me, he wanted to. He gazed at me like a hungry man who was staring at his first meal. Ravenous.
He closed the space between us, leaning down so his face was just a breath away from mine. "Now why would I go meet her when I have my little one right here?" He asks, a spark of amusement and desire igniting his gaze and painting his orbs gold, the color of molten lava, infused in his eyes.
"B-because.. " I couldn't even form words. His gaze made me falter, my breathing growing heavy and my focus wavering. I could feel and smell his arousal, couples with mine it was so intoxicating. "You were talking t-to her"
I inhale a shaky breath as he loops his right hand around my waist, his left hand coming to slowly caress my cheeks, slowly trailing down my neck. He watched his actions like he was under some kind of spell, following every soft caress and stroke his finger made against my skin. "Because she is the daughter of the Duke of Brailar. I was enquiring about her presence at the ball and the absence of her father, seeing as it would have been a lot better if he came instead of her"
My face immediately fell, my false confidence dissipating into thin air and leaving me
"Oh" was all I could say while I raked through my brain. He raised an amused brow, his heavy gaze dropping to my lips as his fingers began stroking my bottom lip.
Sugars, what do I say!?
For some reason whenever I was nervous I had a knack for talking. Anything, whether it made sense or not I just had to speak whenever I got nervous or felt embarrassed.
"Go on baby, I'm listening" Darius encouraged, his expression patient but the look in his eyes growing more ferocious with every second.
"Sh-she was flirting with you, obviously she liked you and wanted to snatch you away from me!" I spoke like I was fighting, with Darius? No, I had no idea what I was doing. I just couldn't stop, I was in too deep.
"Baby, you know no one can ever steal me away from you. It's physically impossible for me to even look at another woman least of all find them attractive. You're the only one that can make me so hard it's painful, the only one that I want to do every sinful thought to, the only one I want to fuck on every surface of these chambers. The only one who gives me fucking butterflies, the only one who makes me blush like a teen wolf. The audacity" his words cut right through me, leaving me flushed and breathless. He had no filter whatsoever.
"The only female apart from you that I'd ever look at with love will call me father and you mother. I'm all yours little one" he assures, bringing his hand to mine and intertwining our fingers, squeezing my hand comfortingly.
"You've absolutely corrupted every last nerve and cell in me, completely painted your scent, your entire essence every where. You have me wrapped around your little finger and you don't even know it, you are my torment and my absolution. I'm all yours, forever"
"Like the darkness promised the moon" he whispers like a spell into my ear, a vow of forever and beyond.
I couldn't even form words. I just watched him with my lips parted as a grin broke out on his lips, his eyes falling to my lips once again.
My cheeks painted scarlet, a gasp escaping my lips as he presses his form against mine, carving his hips into mine and I was made aware of the large erection he had been carrying around all night. Sugars, that must have hurt.
"I-im sorry I overreacted" my voice came out quieter than a mouse's. I was embarrassed, more than embarrassed I was mortified. I didn't feel sorry for dumping the drink on that chimpanzee though, I only feel sorry for making such a fuss and glaring at Darius so much.
