Getting Drunk

I noticed fresh tears leave her eyes in bitterness and worry. I scoffed, unfazed by her emotions, and pulled my leg out of her grasp.
"I can't see you aren't ready to leave the pack. I shall have your parents' heads before dawn, I can assure you," I spat and slowly walked away.
She came again, on her knees, and held the hem of my lace.
"Please… Please" Her voice broke as she begged.
"What do you want!" I barked, fuming.
"I will leave. I will leave the pack. I promise to leave and never return" She said quickly, with a cracky tone.
"Then, what are you waiting for? You should be packing up. You need to leave at the darkest time of the night to avoid other people's eyes. Start packing up immediately" I told her and she nodded, standing up slowly.
"My lord," She said before I could leave the room.
"What?" I demanded without turning back.
"Can we have a drink after I'm done packing my things?" She asked and I frowned.
"A drink, you said?" I asked as my face went to her. She only nodded quietly.
"Why would we want to have a drink together? You should leave quietly and stop acting clingy"
"I'm not acting clingy. Besides, I'm not asking for anything much. I'm not asking for dinner, either. Just one last drink before I leave. We could pass time that way as well since darkness hasn't filled the whole place" She said, and I thought about it for a short while.
"Just one drink," I said and she nodded.
"You shall meet me at my chamber. I will also have those drinks ready," I uttered and left the room.
As soon as I walked into my room, I alerted one of the servants, who came and attended to me. The least I could do Is fulfil her parting wish.
"Get me a bottle of drink and two cups," I told her, and she bowed, then left quietly.
When she was gone, Rachel knocked on the door and came in.
"Sit" I ordered, taking my gaze away from her. She walked obediently and sat close to me, on the bed.
I quickly looked at her. "What do you think you are doing?" I questioned.
"Huh," she mumbled, raising her brows.
"I never asked you to sit close to me. What happened to the chairs?" I asked, with a scowl on my face.
"Oh. Please forgive me" She whispered and stood up.
Rachel was about to leave when there was a knock on the door. "Hold on," I told her, and she stood at that spot, not moving an inch.
"You should sit close to me. I don't want anyone to get suspicious of our drift" I told her, and she nodded, then sat close to me.
"Come in," I said, and the door opened, revealing the servant who was holding onto a tray, with five beers and two small cups.
"What are you doing? I asked for one beer. Why are there five?" I asked, angrily, causing the girl to shiver.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty. I… I forgot. I probably misheard you," She defended. "I shall have them taken away immediately" She further added and made to leave.
"No, wait," Rachel was quick to talk. "You don't have to worry. Let me have them"
The servant nodded and brought the tray closer, and placed it on the table before us.
My gaze hurriedly got transfixed on her, as I was in awe.
"What are you doing?" I asked, in a whisper but with a hardened tone.
"I can take them all if you aren't willing to drink. Don't worry, I won't get drunk," She forced a smile and started pouring the beer into the two cups.
I sighed and took one, before gulping it down my throat. It didn't take a few minutes for us to finish two bottles. I felt she was getting tipsy and decided to keep the remaining bottles, but she grabbed them.
"No!" She cried out. "Please let me have them. This is my last drink here, so let me take them… Please"
"Ssshh," I hushed. "Keep your voice down. What if someone hears you!" I frowned and kept the bottles back on the table.
"Thank you," She chuckled.
I snarled at her and said, "Make sure to leave when you are done. I'm going to bed!"
"No," She cried again, in a loud voice.
"Can you keep your voice down, for goodness's sake!" I almost yelled.
"Drink with me first" She chuckled as she sipped from the small glass.
"No! Drink alone. I can't tolerate drinks, I should stop now and I strongly advise you to stop too," I said, going back to bed, but her loud outburst made me run to her.
"What is it?" I asked, furious by her behaviour.
"If you drink with me… I will leave," She said and I sighed deeply.
"Let's hurry with this then," I replied and sat close to her. Soon, we were drinking and before one could blink an eye, we were done with all the drinks.
Indeed, I was extremely drunk. I climbed with all my struggle to the bed and glanced at Rachel, who was sitting, dozing off.
"Hey, you should leave! You have had your fun so leave while I'm being nice," I warned, with a small voice.
Rachel turned to look at me and chuckled. Likewise, she looked drunk. She climbed fully to the bed and lay close to me.
"What are you doing? You should leave now" I said, with my eyes blinking.
She chuckled and knelt on the bed, then crawled to me and laid flat on my body.
"What… What are you doing?" I spluttered.
Rachel took her face lower to mine and crashed her lips against mine. Soon, we were kissing without control. My hand slipped under her dress before pulling it down.
The last thing I noticed before losing consciousness was getting on her.
"Ah!" I gasped that morning as I opened my eyes. I looked at the ceiling which was facing me and sighed deeply.
I turned to the other side of the bed, and a shocked expression overtook my face when I noticed a naked Rachel sleeping before me. At that moment, her eyes opened and we shared eye contact without having any idea what to do or say next.
Shit!
What have I done?
