Chapter 116
Thea
I never saw Camilo that day again after Caspian had taken her. I had gone to Angel’s room at night so he could feast on me just as I promised he would but to my surprise, Angel wouldn’t touch me even when I told him I was okay.
He noticed my mood, I was worried about Camilo and he persuaded me to tell him what was bothering me.
He pulled me for a hug and kept me in his arms throughout the night and it felt peaceful and very fulfiling.
When morning came, we went downstairs for breakfast. Both Caspian and Camilo were absent and it bothered me. I spent the rest of the day at Florentine’s distracting myself with learning crotchet. I knew she was running out of patience teaching me but I didn’t care.
A knock came at the door and we both turned our heard in the direction.
“I’ll get it.”
I said and went to get the door. My eyes blinked severally suprised at the figure before me.
“Angel.” I called and he raised his head slowly to look at me. My heart leaped a bit at his seductive gaze and I felt shy all of a sudden. I guess I was still getting used to my feelings.
He tilted his head to look behind me before retracting his gaze to settle on me again. He was eying me in such a tempting way that I felt air being drawn out of my lungs.
“You don’t have your phone on you.” He said and I looked down on myself as if searching for the phone on me.
“I’ve only used it once.” I replied shrugging my shoulders.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
” Oh….” He said and bit his lips so sexily.
” Thea, who are you talking to?” I heard Florentine’s voice from behind and her steps approaching. I took a deep sigh to relieve my racing breath caused by Angel then the door paved more as Florentine opened it more widely.
“Angel….” She called, her voice sounding quite surprised. ” Come in please.” She said so meekly and Angel walked into the room with hands casually placed in his pockets, he looked over my shoulder and walked past me, his aura exuding dominance.
Florentine hissed at me and I was quzzical.
“How could you keep him standing?” She scolded through gritted teeth. I parted my lips to defend myself but no ideas came into it so I shut them back. For a moment I forgot he was the boss, I shouldn’t get so comfortable with him.
I shut the door behind me and intertwined my fingers as I walked back into the room.
Angel had picked the piece I was working on and I didn’t need anyone to tell me his expression was nothing but dissapointed.
It was very rough, shapeless and had a horrible design pattern.
I failed terribly in my practise. He held the piece up with a finger and looked at both of us.
“Is this your work?” He asked tilting his head slightly to look at me, he had amusement over his face and I just wanted to hide to cover up my embarrasment.
“Sort of.” I replied moving towards him. “Give me that.” I muttered to his hearing but he chuckled and lifted it above my head when I tried to reach out for it. “Give it back.” I said glaring at him, I tried several times to take it from him but he mocked me even more swaying it away from my reach.
I startled the moment I heard Florentine clear her throat behind us.
Jeez! I forgot she was here. She looked away the moment I caught her eyes and pretended to find the ceiling interesting. She was horrible at pretending. She looked like she suspected us.
I adjusted myself and put a little distance between Angel and I, ignoring the scowl on his face.
“Is there something you need Angel?” Florentine asked clearing the awkward atmosphere.
Angel dropped the piece on the table like it was not my hours dedication.
“I’m here for Thea.” He blurted and I felt a little uneasy. What could be going on in Florentine’s head? As a whore, my main job was to satisfy my master sexually, I didn’t want her having that thought in her head right now.
“Can I have her?” He asked like he couldn’t take me away if he wanted to.
“Absolutely.”
Florentine answered just immediately. I guess she was eager to get rid of me.
“I thought we were doing something together.” I whispered to her.
” I can’t keep pretending you’re not a burden to me Thea.” She replied back and it left my jaw fallen. She was damn blunt.
“Perfect.” Angel said and held my hand but I withdrew it instantly, wincing in pain.
“What’s wrong?” He asked, his voice laced with concern. I tried to withdraw my bruised fingers which was as a result of mishandling the crotchet hook but Angel held my arm in place stopping me from withdrawing it.
He looked pissed but it didn’t look like he was pissed at me but the fact that I was injured.
“How did you get these?” He asked with a serious tone.
I withdrew my hands from him hiding it behind my back.
“It’s just practise.” I answered hoping he’d die the matter.
“You’re hurt.” He said then looked at Florentine. ” How could you let her use those if they were so harmful?” He scolded and I blinked suprised.
” She’s stubborn Angel, she insisted.” Florentine defended though she was speaking facts.
“Come here.” Angel said leading me to the bed.
” I’m fine, it’s nothing serious.” I tried to convince him but he was just as stubborn. I glanced behind me to see Florentine observing us keenly. I knew she was itching with curiosity especially since the day Angel offered me his meat at the dining. She was silent about her suspicions, I guess she wanted to be sure.
Angel ignored me and made me sit in the bed. He took a stool by the corner and sat before me. His legs were spread apart while mine were in-between his.
“Get me the aid box.” He said to Florentine who hurried off immediately.
I paused for a moment to look at Angel studying my bruises with concern.
“You should have stopped when you saw you were hurt.” He scolded but I said nothing. I was just in awe of how protective he was. He looked genuinely concerned. When I wasn’t saying anything Angel raised his face slightly to look at me but caught me smiling in admiration.
He tilted his head quzzically and I just rolled my eyes down avoiding his enchanting eyes.
“Are you in pain?” He asked studying my expression.
” No.” I replied still smiling at him. I swear I was completely enamored all over again. My heart beat with desires anew.
I was in love with this man and even though it felt scary what I was feeling I wanted it. This feeling, it made me feel alive. Angel looked at me a little confused.
“You’re breath taking.” I said and I saw him blush which suprised me. Angel tilted his head down and chuckled.
“Are you sure you want to flirt in here?”
A fucking Greek god! His voice was so damn tempting.
“Here you go.” Florentine said interrupting us and I was glad. I heaved a sigh of relieve.
Angel took my hand gently and placed it on his lap. He opened the aid box and took out what he needed. It was just a slight bruise but Angel wouldn’t let it be.
He treated my wound and when he was done he lifted my hand to his lips breathing warm air to it. It went shivers down my spine and my body vibrated from the heat it sent over it.
“Be careful next time.” He said and then my eyes widened seeing him lean closer to my fingers and I froze when he dropped a kiss on the back of my hand.
I quickly looked at Florentine and she looked shocked as well. She snapped her head to the side pretending not to see us. I quickly pulled my hand out of Angel and a smirk appeared on his face.
“Let’s go, I want to take you somewhere.” Angel said offering me his hand. I was shy but I took it and caught Florentine quickly glance at us.
I kept my head down till we left Florentine’s room.
I sighed in relieve once the door shut behind us, our hands were still entangled and Angel led the way.
A prolonged gasp left my throat as Angel suddenly pulled me to the wall enclosing me in his space.
“What are you doing?” I asked still recovering from the shock. He looked at me with eyes full of blazing hunger.
“Satisfying my cravings.” He answered in a low, calm and sexy voice.
“Out here?” My voice came out nervous.
“Out here.” He repeated and before I could utter another word he brushed his lips against mine and my body exploded with sensations in response. I felt wet instantly between my thighs then he pushed his lips again against mine and a shivering moan left my throat.
Angel suddenly pulled away from me peering deep into my eyes.
“I’m losing my senses Thea. Tell me, what have you done to me?”
