460 [Bonus chapter]
The knights were taken aback by his strange request. This was not just any girl but the favorite of your majesty. But the person asking was the member of the council.
Both of them had immense powers while the knights were just.. They stared at both of them with worry and hesitation.
“It is fine. I do not have any problem with it.” To their surprise, Anne agreed without even a request from them. What could be better?
They bowed their heads and took a step back relieved that they could go to their room.
Declan stared at Anne. he was expecting her to back away but she stared back at him with equal intensity.
“Shall we!” He held the keys in his hands and signaled her when she followed him.
He was surprised once again when she closed the door and locked it the moment they entered.
“Oh.. I did not know that you were in the mood.” he said with a hollow laugh when her eyes turned colder.
“Why are you leaving? Is it because you want to cover up for the things Eve had done?”
.....
Though she was asking, her voice had sure that he gave a hollow laughed.
“And what does it have to do with you? Did you not want me to leave no matter what the reason is? You should be happy.” she stared hard at him with the hope that he would give in.
She wanted to listen to the truth.. It was only because she believed in justice.
“Do not blame me for the reason for your leaving. I am still giving you a chance. Or do you want to protect her till the end.” The smirk she was giving her was full of disdain that it crushed his heart.
He had never been a man of patience and receiving her glare and disdain all the time was too much for him.
He covered the distance between them in less than a second creating a strong gale behind him.
He held her by her shoulders and shook her /.
“Why are you doing this? I am leaving but you ate continuously provoking me. I did not want to do things which I regret later when I miss you.” his voice came forced when she blinked.
Why was she doing it? She herself did not know. All she knew was.. His silence was annoying her. It was mocking her and she was feeling upset about it.
She was not upset that she was sad but she was upset that she wanted to beat someone and hurt him in exchange.
But the raw pain in his eyes stirred her. She felt strange.. Uneasiness in her chest. She was… sorry? Why!
It was his mistake from the start. She was the victim here.
“I am worried about..” before she could speak another word, his eyes burnt with flames of anger or desire.. She did not know anymore.
She did not know if he was kissing her out of punishment, to silence her and to love her for one last time.
But instead of pushing him away, she held his collars and pulled him towards her slowly.
She held it tightly in her hands and gave her more access to her mouth. Her actions look as eager as his.
He did not need another chance, he held her and kissed her with more intensity as if he was hungry for ages and had finally tasted meat.
He was going to ravish her. His hands held the back of her head and pulled her in. opening her mouth, he let his tongue explode her mouth.
this time she was prepared. She followed his actions and soon their tongues started tagging each other.
Their mouth was working in sync with primal instincts and their hands were roaming on the body of each other freely.
He bit her lips, sucked them and nibbled on it. She followed his actions with her hands trying to hold his hair tightly in her hands.
The kiss continued until she was full of sweat and breathless. He only let her go when he felt that she was going to faint due to lack of oxygen in her lungs.
But he still kept holding her in his arms. She took fast shallow breaths as she kept staring at him when her chest moved in a rhythmic motion.
“Anne.. are you.. Can you give me another chance?” he asked. The kiss was not her anger.
He would be a fool if he did not gather his courage and ask even after that kiss.
She stared at him hard but did not reply. Her eyes were stirred when she realized what she had done.
No! It could not be love. She did not love him. It must be lust or pent up frustration that had come out though a kiss.
Her bewildered look was strange but Declan knew that her rationality would not let her take the right decision.
He held her and kissed her nape with his hands moving down. She closed her eyes and moaned with her breathing turning uneven when he kissed her all over her collarbones.
“Your body is more truthful than you!” he whispered in her ears as he licked it and then bit it, “do you think it is just lust.. There is nothing called love in it?” he asked again but he did not give her a chance to reply.
He kissed her hard and fast. More than love, there was urgency, desperateness to make her realize that she wanted him too and it is not just a physician’s need.
“Anne.. you have to love me. You love me. You just need to accept it. If not.. Then stop me.” he said as he fondled her breasts from behind while kissing her neck and sucking on it leaving marks on her fair skin.
She breathed hard but was not able to say a word when he held her dress and pulled it tearing it into pieces.
“If you are not going to speak the truth. I will use your body to speak for you.”
