Chapter 30 - The lion has been tamed

His firm hands started shaking tremendously.

Who would dare hurt his woman?

He never felt anything like this before, even when at death's door he would not have this kind of fear but watching Celestia grit in pain, that he cannot take.

"A-Adam"

Celestia kept on making small noises that made his heart uneasy.

"Wh-what are you going to do?" She asked, weakly when the young man started to move. Her chest rising up and down as Adam carries her, her bare chest in front of his. This is supposed to be a romantic scenery yet why did this happened?

Indeed, she has forgiven her stepmother, although not fully but still. She has accepted the fact that there are imperfections in every person, she tried to defend her stepmother again besides, who would benefit a revenge? She wanted to make her pay back before for the sake of her grandfather and Veronica but now, the heaven has given her Adam, telling her to stop and look at him instead.

However, the physical marks that the whip caused still hasn't healed as if reminding her the past. Should she get revenge?

'No. Not yet, not that I have Adam.' She thought as her eyes started to become heavy.

Happiness, such a common word yet why is it so hard to attain?

—

"Are you sure you're okay?" Adam asked worriedly, his tantalizing eyes are full of emotions that Celestia admires.

Adam has been taking care of her since the day she passed out.

"I'm already fine Adam, you seem more like a mother than a lover!" She kidded, her back has now fully recovered and she's ready, ready to give herself to Adam.

It's been three days since then, and Celestia is eager to return to the lake, she wants to feel the nature with Adam again, her two favorites besides they left an unfinished business.

The handsome man looked at her coldly. He is not happy to be teased as a mother especially if he has the capacity to make Celestia the future mother of his kids.

Chills started to grow on Celestia's back, it seems like her muffin is not in the mood to be eaten.

"I'm just joking" she said, pouting, "You are my Adam right?" She whispered. The wind started to blow and the small chimes began to dance.

The gorgeous lady who is seating on the bed started to tease the young man. Her right hand went up to the waist of the man that is standing beside her, "You are Adam and I am your Eve" she said, slowly, her breath passes through Adam's ear, like a feather in a sunny day, smooth and light while her hands stopped at his chest.

"You are my missing piece" Celestia continued, this time Adam is no longer looking at her coldly, instead his eyes resembled like those who are hypnotized.

His breathing became uneven, each one deeper than the other, it's as if Celestia casted a spell on him, an irrevocable one.

At that moment, everyone knew the lion has been tamed, hard.
