Chapter 9
THANK YOU
FIRA’S POV
“I’m cold. Can you warm me?”
My eyes widened. I stared at his perfectly formed face. He blinked three times before he fell on my shoulder.
“Crap!” I had no idea what to do. If I touched him without permission, I would be punished.
My heart was drumming loud. I could not think carefully. He made me shake like an earthquake. He was Alpha King of Fire and according to Cass, his punishment always came out from his mouth.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
What to do?
The tears condensed on the corner of my eyes. I was prevented from touching myself. I peek on his face to know what he was doing. His eyes were closed and he had a deep breathing. My forehead wrinkled like a wave in the ocean.
Crap. What am I saying? In this kind of situation, really?
I gulped my saliva and peeped again on him. He was peacefully sleeping. Suddenly, I felt that the air coming from his nose was hot.
“King Fire?”
“Pyro.” He said with a command. “That’s my name when we were alone like this.”
I thought he was sleeping. I was wrong. A second of silence came by.
It was hard to deal with him. I did not know when I should joke, or should not. When must I speak, or must not. This man was unpredictable and I would not risk touching him in exchange for the slashes. I never experienced being whipped by the hard strap. According to them, it would rip your back and even see your flesh. That was a pity. I wished I could go back to my area where there was nothing to do, except cleaning and washing.
“King Fire?” I was trying to know again if he was sleeping. The silence was the only response so I guessed he was sleeping.
I gulped in tension as I raised my hand and slowly put it on his back. I just tried to see if he would react, when he did not say or act anything. I touched his forehead. I did not recognize it before. He had a strong fever. I thought King Fire was immune to any disease, especially he was fire, but I was wrong.
“King Fire-Pyro, you have a strong fever. Can you let me nurse you?” He did not answer. His mouth was closed. Maybe he was in the deepest of his sleep.
“Fire can cause an igniting sensation, but in your case you are carrying the element of fire. Why do you have a fever?” I bit my lips as I gradually laid him down on the bed. I held my breath while doing that. My chest was going up and down. I hoped he would not wake up and punish me after. I was just trying to take care of him.
“I hope you can’t order them to whip me, Pyro.” I stood up and went to the bathroom. Actually, I was not allowed to go here. I was just an Omega. I should not use his bathroom.
I was looking for a rug, and I saw a white small one. I went to the sink and opened the faucet. I wet the towel and twisted it. I brought a bowl of water to me.
I slowly walked, going to bed again. I sat and looked at his tamed masculine face. He looked more handsome in the near distance. I was just wondering what happened to his vocal cord, he did not often talk or he just did not want to.
“I will touch your body with a rug, your majesty. It can lower your temperature. I am not sure if you can allow me, but I will try. Also, I have no capability to order the guard to call the royal doctor. So…” I stared at his perfectly formed handsome features. I gulped three times to avoid myself from touching his cheek. “So I will take care of you.”
I started to touch the rug on his forehead, down to his cheek, eyes, nose, and when my eyes viewed his lips. I swallowed my saliva again and bit my lips.
Why is there a person who has handsomely attractive red lips? Where is the justice to my lips? It was not beautiful, it was pinkish, but I could say not so ugly.
I touched the wet rug to every exposed portion of his body. Of course, I did not strip his coverings. He might be so mad at me if I saw his body.
After nursing him, I leaned the back of my hand on his forehead. Next was the neck. A sigh of relief came out when I noticed that the temperature went down.
“You are better now, Pyro. I hope in the morning you are fully well.” I blew out the harsh air coming from my mouth. I was so sleepy.
I leaned my head on the side of the bed. My body was bending, I was sitting on the chair while my face was on the bed. Later, I would wake up again to check on him. But now, I need to take a nap. I closed my eyes and let the darkness consumed my body.
“She slept here?”
“Poor girl. He might be punished.”
“Pyro asked the guard to bring Fira to her room. I think he would not slash her.” I heard the voice of Zephyrus.
“Is it possible that Pyro would not burst in anger when he woke up?”
“Shake the woman’s shoulder. I pity her.”
I blinked two times. It was noisy. I could hear what they were talking.
Who are they? Does Eira have visitors this early morning?
I blinked again, my eyes were blurred. There were four men standing around the bed. I blinked again and my eyes widened when I saw who they were.
Oh, crap! I slept in Pyro’s room! Crap! Crap! This was a disaster!
“What are you all doing in my room! Get the hell out of my personal space!” I could hear the anger of Pyro. He was giggling.
I stood up immediately and bowed to him. “I am sorry, King Fire. Please forgive me!”
“Get. The. Hell. Out. Of. My. Room!” King Fire was burning. Literally burning in madness. He was looking at his brothers. He did not pay attention to look at me.
“I told you. We should not go inside.” Raiden was saying that to Zephyrus.
“He must be super mad.” Hali was smiling, teasing as if he wanted what happened.
“Yeah, he is. Like you see how the smoke goes out from his ear?” Zephyrus laughed out loud. He was a happy man. Always.
“Sorry, Pyro.” Colden gave him a guilt look before following his brother.
I walked, following them on their back. I had no time to explain. It was obvious that he was so mad. I did not want to add fire to it.
“Fira?”
I turned around and faced him again. I bowed and answered. “Yes, King Fire?”
He cleared his throat, looked away and sat on the bed. “Thank you.”
Did I hear it right?
