CHAPTER SIXTEEN

I sat in the car staring at the awesome view in front of me, it was as if it was placed there from another dimension. The very tall gate and fence with the carvings on it felt different, perfectly made and very nice, with a realistic touch. The gate was opened and he drove in and the sight that welcomed me amazed me more. With a beautifully curated garden and what felt like maids working on the flowers specially and what seemed more like guards patrolling the whole place like it belonged to a mafia boss, I was forced to ask Sebastian where we were because I'd never seen a place like it.

"Sebastian, where are we? It's beautiful. I haven't seen anything like it."I said, expressing how I felt clearly.

"This is the Le Palais Lycan, it's my palace sort of." He said.

"Wow, you have such a grand palace and a very grand mansion. You're handsome, wealthy and you're a king. I've never seen myself in such a situation, where I would be attached to a complex person like you." I said blurting out my inner feelings carelessly. I could see the smile on his face as he said "You're a part of me now and I love having you here so accept it. Moreover, I'm sure you'll love it here. You'll have lots of people to speak to, so you won't be alone. I will be coming back soon. So we will look at the sunset and the moon rising together in the garden. How's that?"

The feeling of seeing the sunset together really thrilled me and gave me goosebumps. But I was worried about Ayesha. Will it happen if Ayesha comes back? I asked myself but I wished I asked him, probably he would provide an answer to it.

We were so engrossed in our convo that we had spent minutes in the car when we should have gone out. "I would be glad to see the sunset with you, it'll be a very nice view," I said half-heartedly as I stepped out of the car.

I was in love with this new environment. Everywhere was bustling and everyone was busy with one or two. It felt more like a Kingdom than a palace, it sort of felt like everyone had a duty but they weren't on a strict monitoring streak or authoritative rule. Everyone wore a smile and it felt more like they enjoyed their work and maybe the environment thrilled them like it did to me.

"Can we go in?" He asked in a soft tone. His voice is gentle and soft. We walked towards the door. As soon as the doors opened, several maids rushed us and were greeting him, but two caught my attention. They seemed different with a very great poised demeanour and focused gaze. They stood there looking at us as Sebastian approached them and said "Caleb and Siena meet Fiona. She's in your hands now. Attend to her needs and everything else I'll be leaving in the morning." "So soon? You know we'll do just that, but you should rest a bit. " Sienna said. "I'll rest when it's all done." He said and blinked, I was strictly monitoring his gaze. I wondered if the blink was a code to keep them shut, but as soon as he stopped they stopped too.

Although I was with him and I couldn't ask, I felt respected. As a kid growing up I was always abused but staying by his side brought me so much respect that I never want to end. I really enjoyed the feeling and I would do anything to stay by his side. We moved through the corridors towards the room. The palace was really large but it wasn't too grand than the mansion other than it was more spacious and filled with more people. It wasn't a bit spacious, it was ten times bigger and it made perfect sense a lot of people lived here so it had to be. The designs on the walls were almost the same as the ones back at the mansion other than these were more realistic and had a more artistic feel to them.

We entered what felt like the most beautiful room I have ever stepped into. The room was adorned beautifully beyond human comprehension, with its plush furniture and nice carvings and a beautiful bed. Everything was very nice and I really wondered what would happen if I slept on this nice bed with Sebastian. My heart raced at the thought of it and my body tinged with anticipation and nervousness.

"Sebastian, can I speak to you for a moment?" I said. I really didn't know what I wanted to say but I was really lost. "What's it?" He asked. But I couldn't say anything. I was just staring into his eyes, they were so beautiful. I wondered what was happening to me. I really wanted to kiss him, his lips looked so soft and succulent, and I wanted to immerse myself in kissing and feeling it. What was I doing? I thought to myself.

But, in what felt like a fleeting moment, he bent towards me and said "Tell me your deepest desires." As if he could make me talk it felt nice and I really wanted to tell him everything I wanted. Everything I wanted him to do to me. The crazy thoughts that ran through my mind and the thoughts of our lips smacking while touching me in my most sensitive parts. It was crazy, why do I feel like telling him? It was crazy.

He brought his lips closer to mine at a close distance and said again "Tell me your deepest desires." His voice left a chord in me and sent a shiver down my spine. What's happening? Should I really tell him everything? I thought my body tinged and my body ached for his touch, "my deepest desires? " I said "yea," he said. This time with his hands on my inner thighs. I was really high on his touch, but was this it? Will it happen right now? I sat there staring deep into his eyes.
