The sound of keys giggling and door opening woke up Jess , she was completely alert when she saw Stefani Inside the room . She quickly woke Eleanor too . . . they had completely forgotten about dinner.
“ Did you even eat ? I want talk to you ? “
“ I told you to always knock, you can not just come in here as you please ! “ the deep sleep had not been predicted , But she enjoyed every bit of it, made a few sense of relief that she could actually do enjoy a private moment to herself. But the consolation I’ve just been brief she was in front of captor again . Well , She would not blame him so much , she had agreed to follow him on her own accord
“ You can hardly say that , I can do as I please , this is my house , I choose what happens here , and as it seems , you belong to me too “
“ I don’t belong to you , I am doing this for my people , it would be on me if they die in your hands unjustly just because of a little misunderstanding “
“ I agreed to it , remember? I could have refused to listen to your little appeal , and by now you wouldn’t have your head on your neck to talk to me “
“ You are just so full of yourself , ain’t you ? You feel it’s okay to step on people’s feelings however you like ? Let me tell you , that you would be disappointed to know that I’m not one to put out my feelings like that , you can’t hurt me “ she said ,with sleep already erased from her eyes , she was now glaring at him
“ Are you sure ? I thought you are one who put your feelings out there actually , and you are doing that right now , your facial expression is clearly telling me you hate me and you want me gone “
“ Well , I don’t think that’s a secret , that’s what I feel , I want you gone “
“ Just like how I was a proud bastard earlier ? “
This time her facial expression was unreadable , if she regretted being caught in the act of cussing him or she was happy that he heard , Stefani couldn’t say .
It was Jess who replied him “ you heard that ? I’m so sorry son , she is usually like that , you see , she has a bit of a temper , she never just listen , please don’t take it to heart “
“ I know that , did you eat dinner ? , I will ring the cook “
“ I’m not eating , just for Jess “ Eleanor said
But he ignored as if she had not just protested . . . “ Eleanor, you will have your dinner in my study , Madam , you can eat here or in the dining room area , I have things I need to tell Eleanor about her father “
That caught her attention “ My father ? Did you hear from him ? Did your men find him ? Is he okay ?
“ Come with me , I will ring for your meals “
.
.
.
.

“ So what is it ? Don’t waste any more time and spill it out will you “ she said just as they both entered into his study and locked the doors behind her .
He pointed at one of the couches in the center of the room “ sit down “ she sat down hesitatingly after he sat opposite from her
“ One of my men came forward this evening and said they might have seen your father that day of the supposed duel , it seems he was on his way to meet me like he said , with some of his men . . . His men that were later found dead . He said your father was likely to have been taken by another clan . . . . “
“ What I don’t understand . . . “
“ Wait ! Although I’m not so sure about the story or weather to believe it , I know that it’s worth considering , my sister also said that she didn’t sniff your father’s scent that day , she was so sure it couldn’t have been your father “
“ See , I told you , you never listen to me “ suddenly Stefani looked appealing to her , all the dislike she was felling towards him reduced by a large quantity , the guy could actually reason . It made her happy .
“ Hey , this whole talks don’t mean that you are released and free to go , I am not leaving you to go to your home until I find your father and he gives him adequate answers about what happened that day “
“ I agree . . . “
“ But you can go as you please in the premises of the house , you are allowed to leave your room , you are not a slave do to say , anymore “
“ But you knew all this before you said I belonged to you “
“ Oh yeah , I do and you belong to me until I completely release you and we are over this , but my attitude now depended on the way you were going to reply me while I talked to you , and you behaved well “
“ You are too full of yourself , you like things to go your way , but it can’t happen with me , I told you before , I’m not one of your subjects , I am not one of your girls “
“ What makes you think so ? “
“ I know so , I don’t like you “
“ Are you sure about that ? “ he slowly stood up , came to her side of the study and sat beside her on the couch she was sitting .
“ There is no need to run away from me , you don’t have my permission to go outside that door ? “
“ You are crazy “
“ Oh I know I am “
He leans forward with any further notice , his lips meeting hers . It was moist , her lips were soft .
She had not expected that , but she didn’t move away either , it felt fulfilling like something she had never enjoyed before , with the permission , her body leaned closer , wanting more and more . Her body betrayed her , even though she was feeling like a wanton , she didn’t want him to stop , he was good , the way he kissed her is exactly how she wanted to be kissed , how can this man be untouchable .
A knock sounded and the broke the kiss , he stood up
“ Come in “
It was the cook “ You wanted to have your dinner here ? “
“ No actually , Miss Eleanor will have her dinner in her room “ . . . .
