"I Want You, "
Seraphina looked at him like he was some kind of alien after hearing his words, which made his smirk turn more devious.
He leaned his head closer to her face and gazed into her shocked , widened eyes.
"To change your clothes, " He uttered, which made her more confused.
"I want you to change your clothes, " He completed his words and she just blinked.
"Because if you don't, then your brother will catch you in my shirt and you have to explain everything to him which you want to hide from him, "
Seraphina, wordless , blinked again at his words. He grinned more at her reaction.
"Though I don't mind at all but..." His husky voice turned more deep, filling her tummy with butterflies again.
"Your brother won't find it much pleasing by watching you in my shirt, Sera, "
Seraphina batted her long dark lashes and then gave him an adorably big smile.
"You are very intelligent like my math teacher, " She praised him and he smiled at her cute compliment.
"I will go and change my clothes. Just give me two minutes, " She spoke and stormed towards somewhere.
He saw her opening her pale grey cupboard and then she took out her clothes from them and ran inside the bathroom which was present inside the room.
After hearing her closing the door, he sighed because the thought of following her and seeing her stripping started engulfing inside his mind. He remembered how soft her naked skin had felt under his rough touch. How virtuously tender she was looking to his sinful gaze.
He sighed and shrugged those thoughts away from his head because what he had started feeling for her was beyond the boundaries of lust and desires. He just didn't want her body, he needed his claim over her soul, fully and entirely..only his.
His gaze again wandered over that greyish infrastructure of her room but it finally stopped on something precise... Her Mr Tinnie, who was sitting on her bed.
He walked towards it and then scanned that pale grey teddy bear which had a big heart on its abdomen. Tinnie Loves Sephi was written on it in bold letters . He chuckled slowly while reading it. He really was the love of her life and she definitely was the biggest desirer of the color grey, he assumed. He leaned his upper body towards the teddy bear and then grabbed its neck.
"Well I am guessing, you're going to be my biggest enemy in future, Mr Tinnie, " He sounded like a maniac to himself.
He was threatening a teddy. Damn, she had really turned him into an insane person. He was about to squeeze Teddy's neck when he heard the sound of bathroom's door opening.
He immediately stopped his action and turned around to look towards that direction and his grey eyes got stuck at that tiny fragile frame in front of him.
She was wearing plain black shorts , with the matching colour crop top. Her dark long hairs were tied up in a messy bun. Some loose strands were falling on her complete bare face which had a natural blush. Her bare lips had a luscious shade of dark pink. Her innocuous beauty was ethereal but it was dangerously tempting him.
"I am ready, " Her happy voice broke his inky trance.
She jogged towards him and without saying anything, she held his palm in her.
"Let's go, sir. I am very hungry. We will eat pastries first, " She announced and dragged his beastly body with her little strength.
And that predacious beast just followed her like a little puppy.
"I am going to be 19 after 2 months and I am in my last year of high school, " Seraphina told him while eating her pastry.
They both were sitting on the breakfast table. Seraphina had served him pastry but he had no appetite for eating it because that person sitting in front of him was more interesting and luscious than anything to him.
He had asked her about herself, even though he knew everything about her but he still wanted to hear it from her mouth. Listening to her soft voice was like a calm melody to his ears.
"My bestfriend's name is Evelyn and we both are classmates, " She said, smiling and eating, but then noticed he wasn't eating.
"Why are you not eating, sir? Is it not tasty? " She asked him, concerned.
He shrugged his head a bit and answered.
"No, it's good, "
"Then why are you not eating? "
Because he wants to taste you , little Ms. Miller. He sighed and started eating because he was in no mood to hurt the emotions of that blue eyes enchantress.
Seraphina smiled ,watching him eating and continued with her eating too.
"So what field have you decided to opt for higher studies? " He asked her, curious to know about her future plans.
"I want to be like Nate. I also want to study business management , "
He grinned at her answer. Her brother was really her role model.
"So if you want to be like your brother, then would you like to work for me in future, like your brother is doing right now? " That question slipped out from his mouth.
Seraphina gazed at him for a while with her big and shocked eyes, making him confused.
"Will you give me a job in your company, sir ? " She asked him, bewildered.
Oh... . Little one , not only a job, he would make you the damn CEO straight if you just gave him those big puppy eyes, he chuckled in his mind.
"Do I have any reason for not doing it ? " He questioned.
She nodded her head like a little puppy and replied.
"I am not intelligent, like you and Nate. I am very dumb and my classmates sometimes calls me stupid and very naive, "
He slightly gritted his teeth at her words because he didn't like hearing the fact that someone had lowered her or she was finding herself lower for any reason.
"And Nate told me your company's rules and regulations are very strict and difficult. So, I won't be able to cope up with it, " She genuinely told him her problem.
He didn't say anything in his reply for a while but just stared at her saddened eyes until.
"Let it be on the ruler to decide, Sera, " He stated with a slight smirk on his face because he knew what he was doing and what he was capable of doing.
Seraphina didn't understand his words and before she could quiere further, he spoke
"Pass me some water. I am done with eating, "
Seraphina nodded and poured some water in the glass from the jug and handed it to him.
"Thank you, " He said, taking it from her .
Seraphina smiled and looked at his plate. He hadn't eaten much. His plate was looking full.
He was drinking his water when he saw her getting up from her chair and ran inside the kitchen, making him stunned.
She came back carrying a glass jar of chocolate cookies and then placed it on the table.
"You can eat cookies. I know you didn't like the pastry, sir, " A little pout made its way to her full lips.
He just gazed at her, mesmerized.
"No. It was good and I don't have appetite anymore, "
His answer made Seraphina's face turn more sad.
"Sorry, " She hung her head and apologized and he had no clue what she was apologizing for.
"I am sorry, " She again said.
He stood up on his feet and then placed his index finger beneath her chin. He made her look upward slowly. Her gleaming azure eyes were looking unhappy.
"And about what you are sorry for, Sera? " His deep voice turned soft and gentle.
She tenderly huffed like a kitten and replied.
"I don't know how to make food otherwise I would have made something which you like to eat, "
For the first time in his life, he felt that strange warmness inside his chest after hearing her words. She was thinking so much for him but the question was why?
He gripped her chin amiably and took his face closer to her.
"Your presence is enough for me, Sera, "
Seraphina was beyond stunned after hearing his words which he whispered against her lips but to turn the shock more terrifying, he pressed his lips over her tiny silver nose pin.
Seraphina had frozen at his place at his action. His lips felt so warm yet so rough. A sudden kind of tingling started emerging all over her body, feeling his lips touching her skin again.
She was always afraid of getting touched by any man but why his touch wasn't making her uncomfortable or uneasy? To her shock, his touch was feeling safe, secure and beautiful.
Tears gathered into her eyes. It wasn't right. It was not right for her to feel secure in his arms because Seraphina knew one thing very clearly, despite everything that she was letting him enter into her heart which was wrong, utterly wrong.
She pressed her palms against his chest and slightly pushed him away. He came back to his senses that he had again lost his control over himself which was shedding from her eyes in the form of her tears.
"Ser... "
"You cannot t.. touch me like that, " She softly breathed out in her shivering voice.
"This is n.. not right... . " She stuttered, her tears falling more abruptly . She turned around to leave but this time he didn't let her go.
He surrounded his arms around her abdomen and pulled her back, crashing her back against his front.
"Then keep it in your head, Arzal Grayson doesn't believe in doing any fucking right , " He heated breath fanned against her collarbone.
Seraphina felt terrified of his words. She started struggling which made him tighten his grip.
"Leave me. L.. Let me go, " Her voice started quivering badly.
Her body started shivering in fear in his arms and her silent tears turned into loud sobbing. He was burning with anger because he loathed it when she tried to part herself away from him.
But her tears affected him like nothing and no one else. He sighed for calming himself down and then turned her around.
She had her eyes tightly closed. Her tears were staining her deep pink cheeks. Her moistened lips were quivering and slightly parted as she was breathing through it.
He cupped her face gently and wiped her cheeks, making her slowly open her lashes.
Her shimmering blue orbs met with his piercing grey ones which were now looking gentle and calm. Seraphina had no idea what power her tears had started holding over him.
He was gazing into her eyes while wiping her tears amiably when she clutched his both wrists and parted them away from her face.
"Don't.....Don't do this." Her voice , almost inaudible and shivering.
"I... I... " She didn't know what to say but her tears had told him so many things. About her fear, fear of getting closer to him.
Without thinking for once, he cupped her waist and tugged her closer.
"Why a.. are you like this? " She questioned him, gazing into his eyes.
"One moment, you make me feel happy and in the other, hurt . " She didn't mold her words because playing with words wasn't something she was good at.
Her words made something cavernous to erupt inside his eyes.
"Because I... "
"Seraphina, " That voice froze Seraphina's soul along with his words.
