My heartbeat was colliding and I didn’t dare look away from William. He didn’t look angry but I could feel it, I could see the storm brooding in his eyes... I could see it in his aura, it was too wild. Enough to send a lion running for the hills.
"I-I’m in bed" feigning ignorance? Really Ava? Is that the best you can co up with? I ntally scolded myself. But I was at a loss for options, the last ti I faced an angry William it did not go well.
"You have been avoiding all day" he was blunt again, narrowing his eyes at like he was trying to have a read on my emotions, if he’s trying that much that ans I wasn’t showing much emotions to begin with.
"No, I wasn’t" I bit my bottom lip, I wavered there and I’m certain he senses it. He looked to the side and ran his hands through his beautiful hair, dear gods! This man was spectacular and I was suddenly reminded of our session last night and I blushed, unable to stop myself from doing so.
So much for being blank.
"So this is because of what we talked about last night?"
I felt the hurt again, surely he must know that is the reason, William’s clever.
"I’m tired and I want to sleep"
"I thought you... find more comfort in my chambers" wasn’t a reason but a fact.
"I-I do but I want to sleep here" I bite back.
His teeth clenched, why was he suddenly aggravated, he should just order and tell to co with him. "Do I have to drag you back with ?"
No... he won’t do that, William didn’t want to order , he wants my opinion.
"I don’t see a need for that. Why should I be in your bed? You do sleep" I dropped my book on the nightstand in an attempt to go to bed.
"I find peace when I listen to your heartbeat"
I froze and regret flushed through , we both found comfort in each other, in bed or anywhere else and we both knew that we both craved it... it would be foolish to hide such feelings.
"You..." I began standing away from the bed. "You made feel trapped"
Sothing flashed in his eyes but the second I saw it, it was gone.
I leveled my gaze to my feet. "I-I know you have your reason b-" I gasped because he was suddenly before , towering over my height and my chin to et his gaze.
"Yes I have my reason"
I really didn’t want to ask but I couldn’t fight my curiosity. "Why?" I asked softly.
"I will answer only if you will co to my bed"
I frowned, we were bargaining now? "It is just a simple question!" I barked and he raised an eyebrow closing the distance between us until my back t the wall behind .
"I’m already losing so much of my patience with you, the silly thing you did today..." his teeth clenched, "Avoiding ?" he placed a hand above my head and leaned further. "That was a mistake," he added.
I really did anger him. I placed my hand on his palm and gave a slight push or maybe he moved because I wanted to for I knew there was no way I could push through his unnatural physique.
"Fine then, let’s go then," I said carrying my book and walking out of the door without bothering to look back. I marched straight to his chambers and the giant door opened in my presence. I climbed the stairs and sat on his bed. And turned to the entrance William walked through and the doors slamd shut.
"Will you leave after I tell you?" he suddenly asked.
"I don’t plan on leaving", the truth is I can’t bear to go back to my chambers alone, it was cold and unsettling without him.
’"Good" he mumbled and walked to the bed before sitting beside . "I’m not keeping you trapped here, if you want to go outside then I will allow you to the garden"
"Is it because I’m a fairy?" I began in a heavy tone. "Because of the cruel fate I experienced in the mortal realm, you feel it would be the sa here"
I have been thinking that was surely the reason and it made my heart skip a beat because it shows he cares about .
"This place Ava, is different, you’re not familiar with it and you’re not ready"
"I want a picnic with you," I said, leveling my gaze. "It was stupid of to ask, I saw a picture and I was foolish to crave such"
"You’re not foolish or stupid, Ava"
I shifted my gaze to his eyes. "Under the shade of the tree, watching the skies and nature, the wind, the sll, with you" I added the last part in a whisper.
"Is that what you truly want?"
I nodded. There was a pause, a long pause and my heart slamd in deep beats waiting for his answer. I wasn’t so sure I could bear another rejection, I gave him the most puppy dog eyes I could muster, a trick I learned from Sophia.
His jaw clenched and he said words that were enough to get my heart in a fluttering ss. "Fine"
I squeaked, jumping at him and giving him a hug, wrapping my arms around his neck and burying my face in his neck, and inhaling his scent. I felt him stiffened by my action so I pulled and placed a kiss on his cheek.
"Thank you" I mused
He looked to his side and his ears were tinted red, so cute! I wanted to rub them but I resisted.
"Ava" he began bringing his eyes to . "You do not leave my side, am I clear?" it wasn’t a request.
I nodded. I knew the outside of these four walls might hold dangers for , but as long as I was by his side he would keep safe, his eyes told so... I could see it in his crystal green orbs.
