Chapter 28. You goaded me!

Chapter 28: 28. You goaded me!

Oh lords! She had done it! She just slept with a man. Oh she was foolish. Oh how stupid—

She suddenly felt him, felt him move beside her, felt his arm around her pull her closer, and he brushed her hair with his fingers and tucked some locks behind her ear. She felt him press a kiss on her head. "Thank you." He whispered into her ear. And she wished to cry out, to swear at him with the most destructive and vilest words she could come up with.

This was all his fault! If only he’d let her go back home, if only he’d released her and not insisted on keeping her there with him! Oh how she hated him.

He was telling her thank you! For what? For giving herself like the cheapest whore in the kingdom. She hated him now more than before.

"What is it?" He suddenly asked, maybe he felt the hate in her heart, or the tensing of her body. Or maybe he heard the low sobs that were starting to escape her lips.

"Sweet goddess! Did I hurt you?" He started, almost as if he suddenly realized that he might have hurt her in a way.

Curses! She hated the sound of his voice, she hated that he seemed worried that he might have hurt her. She shifted from him. But he pulled her to his body again, and he turned her to face him. She resisted, but he was strong and he made her turn.

"Did I hurt you?" He asked. His voice, like the softest of tunes, seemed to touch every chord in her body. He seemed sincerely concerned and she hated it.

He reached for her tears and before he could wipe them away, she shifted and turned her head.

"What do you care? You’ve gotten what you wanted from the start." she blurted out, and she felt his entire body tense up beside her. She felt his eyes staring at her, but she didn’t look at him, she didn’t want to.

Suddenly she jerked as a series of harsh, unkind words began to escape his lips and he tore himself from her side with much vehemence and rose to his feet. And she instantly scurried for something to cover up with, but he had previously yanked the sheets, so she also jumped to the ground, picked up the sheets and wrapped herself like a caterpillar in a cocoon.

"You asked for it!" He raged, clearly not in any hurry to cover himself as she was.

"Oh please! You said it yourself, you wanted me. I’m sure you refused to let me go with hopes that I would give in eventually! Which I simply did."

"You pompous witch, I had given you my word! And I had kept it! You reached for me! It was you who told me to take you! I told you I would not touch you and I did not. Not until you reached for me yourself!"

"Oh, you are just trying to blame me. You gave your word and you simply could not keep it. It is that simple. You came to me, you stood from the bed and came to my side on the ground, remember!"

"You little impudent hussy!"

"Hussy! How dare you call me that!"

"I will call you whatever I please you little red-head devil." He hissed. "You are trying to imply that I goaded you into making love with me!"

"Did you not?!"

"You little witch! If anyone was goaded here, it was me! You are the perfect seductress with your big and innocent emerald eyes and your sweet silvery voice like a wicked siren! You who was playing the sweet virgin who did not want to be ravaged by an ugly barbarian and chose me instead. You asked for it, I gave it to you and now you will blame me for what I am sure is the most reverberating experience of your damned life!"

"Oh trust me my dear sir, it is going to have a reverberating effect on me! It is going to remain as the most horrific night of my entire life! And aye! I have been ravaged by a barbaric beast! Probably the worst of them all."

He moved and she screamed her lungs out in fear, "Don’t you dare hit me!" she yelled and raised a hand over her head as a shield.

He wasn’t going to hit her, he just looked at her with much disgust. Or maybe it was annoyance, Neriah couldn’t tell.

"I’d rather hit a cow than to waste my fist on you." He hissed and she realized he was reaching for his clothes.

"Are you going to dress or do you wish for me to send you back with the sheets alone?"

"You will send me back?"

"I do not want you thinking I want more of what you offered." He smiled. But it was fake, it didn’t reach his eyes at all. He was mocking her and she hated him so much.

"But it is only natural that you send me back now, after all you have conquered me. You have deflowered the virgin maid. There is no need to keep me longer. You already got the price without even working for it. You have satisfied the desire of that beast you breed down there."

"Oh trust me woman, if you do not start shutting that mouth of yours and wearing your clothes instead, I will show you that this beast can stand more than once a night!" He threatened, pointing down to his groin and her eyes flew wide open with horror.

Her face flushed at the mere thought of what that cane could do to her. How it could whip her in the most pleasant ways and how sadly painfully-sweet it had felt.

She instantly dived for her clothes. He was going to send her back.

Back home, oh lords. What was she going to do now? She had done something stupid. How was she going to explain to Aria first when she got back home.
