Bab 6: A Strange Creature

'That's why you need to seduce me. Make me want you.'

'Seduce me. Make me want you.'

'Make me want you.'

Sei's words were like echoes inside a huge, complicated cave making Davi's head almost go numb. She was speechless and weakened. Her resolve in giving him her body was already carved in her mind and heart, however, she never expected something like this at all. That she would be the one to have to make the move on him.

She was completely bewildered. She just sold herself to a stranger and married him callously. She already used all the remaining resolve she had on giving him her body. There was almost nothing left in her and yet another challenge was suddenly presented to her. She had no experience; she had never even been in a relationship before. She had no idea. She was scared. What if she couldn't make him want her? What if she failed to seduce him? What would he do to her and her brother?

Sea of 'what ifs' covered Davi's eyes. She was strong and she was confident in her strength. She could even go to the edge of hell if that was what he wanted but, she just had no confidence in her ability to seduce a man. She was sure that climbing Mt. Everest was easier than seducing a man who had never even once been aroused by a man nor a woman. She was worried, unsure whether she had what it took to make a man, who was basically uninterested in human beings, want her.

At the same time, she was confused. The first thing they asked her was whether she was a virgin or not. Therefore, they knew that she had no experience. So why?

"If… that's the case, then why didn't you seek someone who's more experienced?"

"I already did. Experience has nothing to do with it."

Davi bit her own lips. If experienced women failed to arouse him, then wasn't it even more futile for someone like her?

"Uhm… why don't you just… I mean, I heard about some… drugs… or that thing called IV...F?"

Davi once again grabbed the blanket and covered herself as fast as lightning. That was because the man before her suddenly blazed once again. And this time, his aura was ten times darker making her body shudder in fear as if a very real ghost suddenly appeared in front of her face.

She was so scared. At that moment, she was now sure that this man was really dangerous. She had never been scared of any human like this before.

Meanwhile, Sei realized that the girl beside him was trembling in fear. And yet, she forced herself to talk.

"S-sorry," she said. Her voice was soft and hoarse but strangely enough, it made Sei calm down right away.

"Tell me, do you really want me to use a drug on you?"

His ice cold question made Davi realize how foolish her idea was. She then shivered in shame just thinking about it. At the same time, she was glad that this man, despite his monstrous aura and mysteriousness, seemed like he didn't even consider doing it.

"I'm so s-sorry. Please forget about it, I will try my best to… seduce you."

"Good. And that IVF, don't even think about it again."

Davi could feel his immense hate to the idea of IVF. She was sure it wasn't just a simple issue to him. She almost felt like it was a taboo word to him.

"Uhm… can I ask you to give me… some time to…even a day is fine…" Davi couldn't continue what she wanted to say. She wanted time to process her resolve, research and learn the science of seducing a man. Because she was not the kind of girl who would throw herself into a fight without a weapon.

"I'm travelling abroad tomorrow. You can have the time you want. Though, I'm warning you, don't even think about breaking the rules while I'm gone."

The masked man talked as if he already understood what she wanted, then casually took the blindfold from her hand. He carefully wrapped the girl's enchanting eyes with the red blindfold while the girl just sat, unbelievably tensed, throughout the whole process.

Afterwards, Sei stared at his blindfolded wife. And he had no words to describe her.

"Now sleep," he said as he removed his black mask. Davi could only imagine what he was doing until she heard something slowly land on the table beside him. She knew it was his mask.

"G-goodnight," she said but the man didn't reply. He just lay down quietly, so Davi did the same.

…

It was already past midnight but Sei decided to get off the bed. He carefully removed the light and soft arm of his wife, violently hugging his neck as if she was trying to strangle him. He could feel her slow breathing, indicating that she was deeply asleep.

He turned on the light then sat, quietly watching her sleeping face along with her unbelievable sleeping posture. She was so not lady-like at all and she was sleeping in a way that looked like she wanted nothing more than to monopolize the large bed, as if it was her personal territory.

The blindfold was… actually useless. It was already around her neck. Sei himself didn't expect the girl to be that wild when she was sleeping. He couldn't even sleep with all her violent and sudden movements.

His eyes glimmered mysteriously, thinking that she was a strange creature. She was just sleeping soundly without a care in the world, and yet she managed to give him a hard time, even kicking him out of his own bed. His gorgeous brows furrowed because of the fact that he was actually not angered at all. Surprisingly, he was tolerant of her supposedly unforgivable manner. Something that had never happened to him before.
