章 12: Dignity
Elias stood staring at her, his gaze intense as he focused on something in particular. Tessa grew scared when the intensity felt suffocating, causing her to inch back only for him to hold down the door and swiftly pull her out.
"Elias!" She breathed, holding onto him to avoid falling.
Grabbing her waist, he pulled her closer to him and dropped his hand on a spot on her neck that made her shiver.
Unknowingly, Tessa dragged her gaze to his lips and she found herself swallowing hard at the sight. It was enticingly tempting that she was finding it hard to compose herself. Was his lips always so calling? It looked so pink and…soft, and she could only confirm that if she tasted it.
"Tessa!" Shaking her shoulder, he called, causing her to break out of her ludicrous fantasy.
"Huh?" She repeated, raising her brow at him in a confused manner.
"I said, does it hurt?" He asked, repeating the question he asked while she was lost in her thoughts.
Coming back to her senses, she glanced at where his hand was and felt embarrassed for lusting after him. A blush crept to her face and she avoided his gaze, inwardly scolding herself for being seduced by him when he wasn't even trying. It was always the other way around and no man had been able to seduce her, why was it a boring man like him?
"Hmm, no it doesn't hurt." Still avoiding his gaze, she answered and awkwardly stood in his embrace. She would have pushed him away by now, but she was too embarrassed to make any move at the moment.
Pressing on the spot, he asked, "What of now?" Eliciting a sharp painful sound from her mouth.
"Ouch, what is that? Why does it hurt?" She said, bringing her hand up to touch it but was stopped before she could reach it.
"Don't, I will do it." He said, confusing her.
Opening her mouth to ask questions, her words were swallowed when he lashed his mouth on her neck.
"Elias!!" She moaned, her skin rising when Elias's warm breath touched her. Gripping his shoulder, she bit her tongue to stop herself from shamelessly moaning further and closed her eyes.
Elias blew air on the spot and brought his mouth closer to suck on her neck, completely driving her into cloud 9. Absentmindedly, she dropped her hand on his hair and clutched onto it when the pleasure intensified.
Elias continued sucking on her neck until her legs gave in, and she fell weakly into his arms. Realizing she couldn't handle it anymore, he withdrew his mouth from her neck and carried her in a bridal style.
Shy to look into his eyes, she dug her face into his shirt and allowed him to carry her away.
Walking up to the bed, he gently dropped her on it and sat beside her.
Observing the bite mark, he worriedly sighed when he saw how worse it grew. If his wolf hadn't alerted him of her identity, he would have bitten her to death. It looked like it was forming a mate mark yesterday night, why was it suddenly bad now? Fortunately, he was able to heal her wounds immediately but it seems like there were little poisons lingering around that spot.
He managed to suck out small, he would continue when there was food in her stomach.
Bending closer to her, Tessa moved away, covering her neck from him thinking he wanted to suck on her neck again.
"I am tired!" She quickly interjected before he could talk and held out her hand to stop him from coming closer to her.
"Alright. I will get you a maid, you can come downstairs later." Not imposing on her, he relayed and left her.
Once he was gone, Tessa dipped her head into the pillow and screamed into it, hating herself for moaning, and not an ordinary moan, his name?!!!
She was a disgrace to the independent women out there, how was she going to tell the world she got seduced by a man? A man who wasn't even attracted to her any bit?
"You are a fool, why did you not push him away?" Whining and crying, she started scolding herself, rolling on the bed as she vented. If only she had just resisted the urge and pushed him away, then her dignity would still be intact.
How was she going to boldly hold her ground in front of him? He would think she was only bluffing and is easily seduced. Well, it wasn't her fault he was seducing her, she was only human after all.
Recalling his lips on her neck, she covered her face and blushed, swinging her legs in the air.
Speaking of which, what was he talking about on her neck? Climbing out of the bed, she walked up to the dressing mirror and sat on the chair in front of it.
Drawing closer to the mirror, she turned her head a little to have a view of what he was sucking on and gasped when she saw a triangle-like mark on her neck. Was this what a mating mark looked like? Also, why was Elias so worried, was she going to die?
Pouting her lips, she pressed on it but didn't feel anything again causing her to roll her eyes at Elias's dramatic act earlier. It is not even painful, why was he making such a big deal out of it?
Hold on, could it be a ploy to take advantage of her? That cunning man, he could have politely asked but he probably did it because he knew she wouldn't allow him.
A knock on the door shifted her attention and she answered it. Three maids walked in with an armoire wardrobe and she hummed in satisfaction. Now that was the way to treat a legend like her.
"What would you like to wear Consort Tessa," the leading maid asked, bowing her head as she talked.
Walking up to the maids, she maniacally laughed and responded, "Something bizarre." Chuckling in a way that scared the maids.
Inwardly, the maids thought, 'The rumors were right.'
