Chapter 6: Threatened (2)
ERIC’s POV
When I got a call that the little woman was about to run off the country, I immediately instructed my chauffeur to reverse the car. Luckily, I was somewhat close to the airport.
On arrival, my bodyguards had her surrounded and I could see the worry on her face. She looked so innocent, like a damsel in distress and it made her look adorable.
I approached her, first noticing her small eyes grow wide in shock, then her cheeks instantly turning red in something that looked to be embarrassing when she saw me.
“Wife?” I called when I was close enough to her.
She stared up at me with a look of confusion.
“What did you call me?” She asked, looking both innocent and confused. But instead of giving her an immediate answer, I took a step toward her, covering even the tiniest distance between us.
“Wife!” I said it again, hoping she would hear me better from this range. I mean, I had squatted just to be at her level. But rather than giving me an answer, she inhaled sharply and I found myself smirking. Seems my closeness was too much for her to handle. I watched her little face and for some reason, I found my eyes being drawn toward her tiny pink lips.
I suddenly became hot, feeling the urge to take those lips in mine. It had just been a few days and a few hours since she escaped my bed, yet here I was, craving her little body again. Lost in lust, I noticed her start to take a step back, but I grabbed her by the waist before she could even settle her weight on her heel, and I pulled her into my body.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
She stayed in my arms for a few minutes and in that time, I felt her sharp notice piercing my stomach. I could feel her smelling me, and I kinda liked it. It was ticklish, but she didn’t let me get into the feeling and she pulled away from my arms. I let her.
“Why- why are you here?” She stuttered, staring up at me with big hazel eyeballs that left me wondering how it was that a person could have small eyes but large balls.
“I heard my wife was trying to run away from me, so I came to find her,” I told her calmly.
“I’m not your wife.” She said frowning at me. Mm-hm she looked quite cute with that angry face.
“Yes, you are. And…” I looked her over from her shoulder down to her hand, stopping on her fingers. And when I didn’t see the diamond ring I had worn on her that night while she slept undisturbed, I furrowed my brows. “Why aren’t you wearing your ring?”
She stared at me as if to say she didn’t know what I was talking about.
“Come wife, let’s go home,” I said, searching her eyes.
“I’m not your wife,” she argued, taking a step away from me. This time, I let her go free, but the next minute, I was covering the space between us.
“You.. are… my… wife,” I stated.
“No, I’m not.” She refused, taking yet another step away from me.
“Yes, you are.” I covered the distance between us again. She was playing with me.
“I’m not,” she argued further and tried to step away from me yet again, but I pulled her into my broad body.
“Yes, you are,” I said calmly. “Remember we had sex the other night?” I reminded her and watched her turn all red.
“That- was- just a one… night sta…” She trailed, looking all embarrassed.
“No wife, it wasn’t just a one-night stand. We fucke…” I stopped myself from using that word on her. “We had sex rather. I was a virgin when you came at me that night and until we had sex, I remained one.”
She bit gently on her lower lip, and her face continued to turn different shades of red at once.
“I- was also a virgin,” she murmured in her defense.
“Yes,” I agreed. “But, it’s different in both cases. You came to me, you initiated the whole thing that led to my being dis-virgined. I promised my grandma that until I get married, I wasn’t going to share my bed with any woman, but you came along and forcefully took my bed. You seduced me, you took my virginity, therefore you’d have to marry me.”
“But…” She opened her mouth to speak, but I didn’t let her.
“If you don’t agree nicely, then we’d have to go to court. And you might just be charged with assault.” I stated, threatening her. “I’m quite popular here in LA, and I have the best lawyer in the whole of Los Angeles. Your lawyer would never beat him. Do you want us to go to court, should we do that, Rayne?” I knew I sounded like the devil at that moment, but it wasn’t really my fault. I was drawn to a woman I barely even knew. I couldn’t quite tell what it was, but something about her enticed me. I couldn’t tell if it was her innocent little face or the way she blushed. I just couldn’t tell, but I knew I wanted her all to myself already. And, to do that, I had to play ruthlessly and it was even more fun that she was falling for it.
I pulled away from her and took three steps backward.
“Guess I’d be seeing you in Court, Ms. Rayne.” Saying that I turned and started to walk away, and my bodyguards followed suit.
I was starting to approach my car, but she was yet to stop me and for a moment, I thought she wouldn’t, but then, her tiny voice called out to me all of a sudden, asking me to wait. I immediately halted with a smile, mentally applauding myself for the victory won.
I heard her running towards me so I turned around to face her. When she approached me, she bowed shyly while nibbling on the walls of her lower lip nervously.
Then she said, “I- I’d marry you.”
