Chapter 189: Hot and bothered (2)

"I think it is time I leave to find some water for you. The weather is hot and you must be thirsty from your fight. There was some in your tent," Annalise said, leaving first to go to his tent.

"Yes, let’s go to my tent," Rafael said, following her.

There were too many eyes on them right now and he wanted to get a proper answer out of her without being interrupted. He was growing tired of his one-sided feelings especially now that he was seeing evidence that Annalise liked him or maybe she was just attracted to him.

Annalise regretted telling Rafael she would be going to his tent because she could feel him hot on her tail right now. Why couldn’t he just focus on the contest and leave her alone? Why did he need to follow her now?

She would like to get rid of her thoughts about him and forget about his scent that felt stuck in her nose. It was like the wind picked up his slightly sweaty scent and kept circling around her saying, ’Smell it!"

This town was slowly turning her crazy because of what was on her mind right now. It had to be doing something to Rafael too since he wasn’t acting normal.

Annalise wanted to run to the tent, but with Rafael chasing her, she didn’t want others to think there was something going on between them. She didn’t need to be added to the hate list of more young women.

Annalise felt relieved when she entered the tent, but it didn’t last long since she could hear Rafael not far away from her.

"Make sure no one bothers me."

Annalise turned around to face him since there was absolutely no reason for him to tell the guards that. The only people who would walk into his tent were knights like Christian or Logan unless there would be some crazy young lady to storm in there. Besides, what would they be interrupting?

"Why did you," she stopped when he dropped his helmet on the floor. "Why would you drop that helmet? Are you crazy?" She asked, tempted to go to where he stood to pick it up. If he was going to treat it so poorly, she should just steal it from him. "That is not some old shabby helmet," she said, backing away from him until the back of her legs hit the edge of the table he had his other swords spread out on.

"Annalise," Rafael called her name as he removed his sword from his side. He walked toward where she stood, ready to climb over the table to get away from him. "I apologise. Slap me if you wish," he said.

"Don’t tempt me," Annalise said, holding up her hand to do it if he tried something. She would most definitely slap him so he shouldn’t doubt it. "What are you doing?" She asked since he was becoming dangerously close to her.

"Testing something," Rafael replied, palming her cheeks and then he leaned down to meet her lips.

He welcomed her to slap him if she didn’t like it. After all, she had an issue with being touched and then there was the incident with Connor. He wanted her to slap him because he was definitely crazy for doing this.

He wanted to ask for permission first, but he moved quicker to kiss than he could get the words out of his mouth.

He had a lot to apologise for the moment this was over since he should have asked in order to respect her boundaries.

Annalise stood wide-eyed, shocked by the feeling of Rafael’s lips on her own. Her hand trembled, waiting for the command from her head to slap him, but she did not. He was slightly hunched over because of their height difference. His lips did not move against her own most likely because he was waiting for her to push him away.

Why did he initiate this if he was not going to go all out? So many thoughts filled her mind now because she felt and smelled everything she was trying to ignore. More importantly, why wasn’t she slapping him or hitting him where his little children rested?

’I must be crazy,’ Annalise thought as she pressed herself against him and kissed him back.

Unlike Rafael, she kissed him for real, testing if he was worth all the crazy women fawning over him. She would blame this on mistaken desire. One little kiss wouldn’t hurt anyone. She just needed to figure out why this man was bothering her so much these days.

Feeling her start to kiss him, Rafael fired back with the same desire and kissed her. He moved his lips to match her own while placing his hands under her thighs to hoist her up onto the table without interrupting their kiss. It was by some luck that the table had some height to it to help with him having to bend down to kiss Annalise.

His hands moved from under her thighs to her waist to keep her in place. He moved forward to be closer to her and without having to say anything, Annalise parted her legs to let him close the little space between them.

"Anna," Rafael groaned half her name when she bit his lip and with him being somewhat distracted by the pain, her tongue was able to slip its way inside his mouth. She was not joking about the fact that she could seduce him. She already did a good job with it every day by doing nothing.

Annalise tugged at his armour as she deepened the kiss. She wished he was wearing a shirt so she could properly pull at him by grabbing a handful of it, but since she was so in love with his armour that she wanted to steal, she didn’t mind running her fingers along the metal.

Seeing him in armour had to be just as good as seeing him without a shirt. He was fun to look at when he was half-naked, but there was something about seeing Rafael clad in armour especially after he had just fought and won. Her desire would have been on another level if she had watched him during his match.

Men and violence were the perfect mix she needed to get excited.

If he was her partner, she might have dragged him back to the tent, and had the ladies outside blushing because of what they would hear.

Annalise now thought that he was deserving of all the women outside trying to court him. "Rafael," she said in between the kisses. "We...should stop," She finally got the last two words out when he moved on to the side of her mouth and went down her jaw, still kissing her like he wanted to devour her. "There are people outside."

She knew her responsibility and that it was forbidden to be with him like this, but she could not help it that he was so compelling to make her forget about their reality.

"They won’t be coming in," he assured her.

If the knights outside let anyone come inside when he was having a moment with Annalise, they would have hell to pay.

Annalise gasped and tried to turn her head to the side when Rafael bit her neck. A tingling sensation fell over her body and she tried to close her legs, but there was a big giant between them. "Do not leave a mark on my skin. Anyone who sees it will assume the worst after I have been in here alone with you. A maid isn’t exempt from rumours."

"Whatever they assume would be true, I did in fact bite you," Rafael replied, pulling away so he could look at her. He would like to press her down on the table and continue to kiss her, to let her feel just how much he liked her, but he had to see first how she took the first kiss.

He was lucky to be wearing the armour so she wouldn’t feel how hard he was becoming.

"You went so far to prove a point," Annalise spoke softly, taking her hands off him.

"What?" Rafael asked, confused by what point she meant.

"To show that I am attracted to you and your knights. You won so you don’t have to prove anything."

Rafael stared at Annalise in disbelief at the fact she thought he kissed her because of the game they played. "You really are something," Rafael said, looking to the top of the tent. "Annalise," he said, looking back down at her. "Can I kiss you again?"
