I could hear the birds chirping, even as it got dark, I was still in bed, my mood down, It’s been a day since I awoke... I had expected Cedric would co, but yet again he didn’t... I should be scared of him, I now knew why he was rendered dangerous by Cora, he was sothing I didn’t understand and yet I longed to see him like my heart would break if I didn’t. I must be going out of my mind, a normal woman would avoid such, or speak of it!
Stupid Sylvia! I cursed myself, I really WAS stupid.
The doors barged open as Olivia worked in with a smile against her lips.
"It’s ti for your bath, My lady"
I sighed.
☆☆☆
I watched as Olivia helped untie the bandage around my ankle, I hissed slightly in pain.
"Does it still hurt my lady?" she asked worried,
"Just a little".
She completely took it off, observing it.
"It’s still bruised but it’s all healed, all thanks to Dr. Osbert, best in the Empire".
I have always been treated with the best things ever since I was married to this house. I tried to move it but I only just winced in pain.
Olivia felt the bathwater.
"The doctor said warm water is what you need right now," she said, pouring so hot water from a jar and feeling the temperature.
As she did I gently rose to my feet, making sure the linen white towel I had wrapped around my body was firm, I placed my good leg inside, before fully entering, the water reached at my waistline.
I hissed when I felt a slight pain in my ankle.
"I will go get the lotion my lady"
I just gave a nod, biting my lip, I heard Olivia exit the bathhouse, I gently sat down, the milky water now reaching my chest level, I moaned feeling the warm water against my body, I loved the feel, it was like it massaged my body, I didn’t mind staying here for long until my muscles felt loose.
I arranged my ssy bun properly before I rubbed my arms, I continued the action as a way of ssaging my body, I did it for what seed like seconds, before pulling my knees to my chest, resting my chin on my knee cap.
I heard the door open, finally, she was back, I was beginning to wonder why she took so ti.
"You took you so ti, my ankle is killing ," I said, rubbing it beneath the water. But then a scent filled my nose, I froze recognizing the fresh scent that instantly filled the area.
My heart slamd loudly against my chest, I pushed my back upright... It was Cedric and he was behind .
I instantly rose to my feet, ignoring the pain that shock through my ankle, I turned and t with a half-naked Cedric, a linen white towel was wrapped around his waist so I needn’t worry... but still I got the view of his chest, I knew I shouldn’t be looking at it right now but I couldn’t help myself, his broad chest... His abs were well defined, his torn muscles all for to see, his silky pale skin only made it more alluring, I couldn’t look away, it was like I was amid a sculpted god before .
"Wife?"
I never knew how much I missed his voice until now, that feeling went straight to my core, I resisted the urge to rub my knees together.
"What kind of a husband are you?" I snapped. I didn’t intend for that but the words just ca right out before I could process it, I was angry at him for not coming to see .
He frowned like he didn’t expect to say those words.
"I-It’s been a day since I woke up and you didn’t co to see ", the hurt now evident in my tone.
"If you do not care about then say it"
"It’s not..." he paused, his teeth clenching.
"Not what huh?"
"... It’s not that I do not want to see you"
"What then!"
"Sylvia"
I gulped when he called my na, his eyes were filled with confusion, and uncertainty. I took in his look now, he looked paler than usual, his eyes like he hadn’t slept... This was unlike Cedric, to be off guard, to look this way.
"If it’s about what happened that night then I do not want to talk about it"
"Fuck that!" he cursed.
I froze at his choice of words, his eyes on , his looks in total confusion.
"You should be scared of ..." he began as he took a step closer.
"I’m not a perfectly handso man like you think I’m" he ca closer and closer but I didn’t back away I didn’t want to, I wanted him closer, my body ached for it.
"I may be the devil or worse", he was within the water with , standing right in front of , my head tilted backward to et his burning gaze, the wonderful color of green I missed so much.
I gulped at his words.
"Are you scared of Sylvia... you saw what I did to those Nightshades"
I was instantly filled with the mory, sounds of their screams, and bone breaking.
"I do not regret what I did... I didn’t feel anything when I rip them apart, I didn’t mind doing it again... and again"
What was he trying to do... was he trying to scare , or was he trying to let know how dangerous he could be, maybe both.
"I-I’m scared" I replied honestly.
"You should be scared"
"B-But I know you won’t hurt "
His eyes narrowed at my words. His hand slowly reach for , I shivered when his thumb brushed my cheek, it was warm and felt good against my skin.
"How can you be so sure?" he asked softly, leaning now, our faces inches apart.
"I-I t-trust y-you" my heart slamd with every word.
"You do not know what you speak of"
"I-I trust you Cedric," I said once again but this ti I added more aning to it.
He growled burying his face in my neck, I gasped at the sudden action, my hands against his bare chest to steady myself.
"You have no idea how much hunger you make feel"
Hunger? What kind of hunger?
"...How much I want to sink my fangs deeply in your neck"
