Chapter 170: Nothing Is Free-II
Even if Ian told her to focus on the sad things and dark sorcerers, she can't help but to be conscious of every lightest move Ian made. She felt how close he was and her hand that settled above her skirt moved to the couch behind her, crumpling the cushion.
Elise in her pure mind try to erase whatever thought she had that make her feel like a scandalous girl. This would not have happened if it wasn't for Ian's suggestive words about his bed and others things he told her. When she strayed away from thinking anything about him, the thought resurface, making her feeling like she was caged in a maze where every corners she would be found by Ian.
"I will try again," she wasn't sure if it would ever work with Ian beside her but she felt she was going on sothing important and another try was needed to see the result. "But I have a request, please do not distract ."
She tied to be strict to herself by not putting any thought to Ian but with him just one hand palm away from her, she would never able to set her mind straight.
"Bold girl," remarked Ian as he whistled, "You rember the day when we were in the library sitting together?" Elise tried to rember it and she nodded, "It seed you have taken my advise to beco more stubborn. But this is a problem," drawled Ian his finger instead of leaving her chin upon her request climbed higher to the side of her face, rubbing her earlobe and Elise closed her right eye when feeling the tickle.
"What's the problem? I might be able to help," Elise blurted out her words, and imdiately pursed her lips as soon as the word leave her mouth.
Ian's red eyes enjoyed how her expression changed every ti his finger rubbed her, it made him beguiled to touch more on the places his hands hadn't rubbed yet to know how her expression would bloom to the fullest. Looking at her his tongue sneaked to rub his upper lips.
"The problem is I don't want to," ca his simple words that made Elise's eyes to look a little defiant at him. "Sway my mind and I will stop disturbing you."
Elise pulled her brows at his devilish expression. She could tell the way he was staring her felt as if he was a predator wanting to devour her. Like a lamb in front of a lion. What was Master Ian thinking? She thought Ian was about to help her to find out reason why the window broke but here he was doing things opposite of what he ordered.
"H-how?" Her face turned to look at him. The closer they were, Elise could feel her body wanting to move back and when she did, her back pressed to the armrest, letting her to know that she had been trapped like a mouse on a cheese trap.
"I don't know," Ian shrugged his shoulders with an oblivious expression, "You can try, nothing will start without trying. There are many ways you could do to stop from bothering you, co on and have a try," Ian's finger slipped on her dress which had a long sleeve.
The way Ian had spoken was as if he was a mouthwatering cheese and she was a mouse who was put in one locked room. The cheese, however, could speak and right at this mont, it was offering her to take a bite.
"I don't know how," she honestly confessed and her eyes stared at his lips.
"Sweetheart, there should be so way. Move the cogs in your head and you will be able to find sothing," Ian leaned backward to let Elise take a breathe as she didn't seem to notice how hard she had hold her breaths.
Elise looked around the room. The very presence of Ian made her unable to focus and she wondered if she should start by putting a cover over Ian so she wouldn't be under his continuous gaze. But that would be too rude and to say frankly Elise like to admire Ian's handso face. Although at tis that could be a problem.
Everything inside the room doesn't help her either and she knew the only for her not to be distracted is for a wall to be created between them but that was impossible. Her eyes then fell at the large wardrobe.
Ian who had been following her gaze, rolled his eyes, "No, I will not be entering the wardrobe, what are trying to do by making enter that? I have claustrophobia."
"I was not thinking of that," at so point she did but Elise retracted her thought. "Would you like sothing in exchange so you would not bother ?"
"That is a very intriguing offer," Ian twisted his lips, his hand rubbing his bottom lips that were full and his black hair fell over from his ears. "Alright, I would agree after hearing what would exchange to ta . I have to tell you that even tying your hands is not enough."
Elise lifted her brows, her head tilting. Why would she tie her hand in the first place and how would it be a good reward?
"What do you think I should do?" asked Elise, offering Ian to reply when in truth she was confused.
"Who knows, you are the one who are to make the offer not ," Ian pulled her hair playing with it before he tucked the lock behind her ears, his hand instead of leaving stayed longer, "Since you are having a trouble, what about this idea. Sleep here with tonight, I promise not to do anything to you."
Elise was startled, she looked hesitant and after taking so tis she shook her head, "I think I will go back now."
"Where, to your room?" inquired Ian, his voice dropping and she felt her heart dropped along with it. Elise was seen to be wanting to flee away from the room but not that he allow her to. Ian would not let her leave his room until he felt satisfied or if he couldn't, he would like sothing from his sweet girl to curb him from the needy desire he felt.
"I an the glass," corrected Elise and she took the glass to her hands.
"Pity," Ian sound unamused and disappointed that Elise decided to work on her own will to focus on the glass. "You could have agreed to and we would have fun," the fun, thought Elise. What kind of fun does he ant? She doubt it was playing trump before sleeping. Master Ian knew more fun gas on the bed and sowhere she knew it well despite never feeling it on the first hand.
Ian could tell how he had poisoned Elise's mind. Her driven snowy white mind was slowly colored in his dye to have Elise anticipate of things she didn't know. Ian knew how to make use of her curiosity. He knew how to handle people and won but his way to Elise was different. He want to bring her slowly to his world and change her timid self while she still hold her own conviction and beliefs.
He had seen the effect and continued to do so. At tis such as this he can't help to unleash his an side to taint her and his sweet girl was far more stubborn than he thought that she hadn't yielded on him yet.
"You know I rarely sleep but I feel that sleeping with you would make feel relaxed and know what humans enjoy by sleeping," Ian looked at his fingernails as if checking to see sothing before looking at her, "I can tell how warm your body is when my hand touch you skin. Do you know that sleeping together is perfect for the winter in Warine?"
Elise can't hold her expression when she heard Ian explaining her body. She wish she could find a pillow to cover her face and she tied not to et his red eyes that constantly stared at her in intensity.
"Sleeping together is for married couple, I-I don't think I can do that now," whispered Elise who hope Ian would leave her from saying more words as her face was heating that she wondered if she has a fever. As she looked at Ian she felt curious and ask, "Can't you sleep well at night, Ian?" asked Elise and a tinge of concern was noticeable and Ian being not a good man love to use this side of her concern for his advantage.
"Yes I can't. I slept but not as well as anyone would be. When I sleep, I see no dream and feels nothing when waking up. I could still be healthy even if I don't sleep for a year which why I don't find any joy in taking a rest," explained Ian who had always been open to her. "I am curious if you will teach the joy of sleeping in the future."
