I opened the dinning room door slowly and lent against the door frame. Reaver was stretched out on a sofa chair, a small bundle of ice wrapped up in rags held to his groin. He glared at me from across the room then inch by inch his gaze dropped to the dress.
"Hmm how…Fitting that dress looks on you."
"Whatever," I sighed and sat down at the long dinning room table that stretched across the room. He raised a perfect eyebrow and tilted his head.
"what? No, 'go to hell'? No, 'damn you Reaver'? No witty sarcastic response at all…Oh my, I have a feeling our little princess has given up her fight," he laughed behind me, but I didn't care.
"Reaver you bore me…I'm tired of your little games of cat and mouse." I turned round to stare at him. The look on his face was to die for; he look almost insulted. In fact I would go as far as saying he looked hurt by my words…this might be fun after all.
"Bored…of moi?I guess I'll have to up my game a little don't you agree?" He stood up slowly and strutted over to the door. "Oh Ashley…Ashley be a dear and come here please."
I felt a strange sense of worry curl and claw at my stomach - what messed up and revolting thoughts is he thinking? The seconds ticked by slowly, each one being sounded out by the large grandfather clock that stood in the corner.
Ashley appeared moments later, her gaze flickering fearfully from Reaver to me.
Reaver smirked down at her, probably thinking about what cruel and revolting things he could do. "Be an angel and get me some wine."
She looked relived by his request and moved over to the wine case. He sat down at the table and waited as she pulled out a bottle of some - clearly expensive - red wine. She moved back over to him and started pouring it in to a glass when Reaver slowly stared to stroke her arm, his eyes not moving from mine. She tried her hardest not to pay attention but gently Reaver started to kiss her shoulder.
I bit hard on my tongue to stop my self reacting but terrified look in her eyes really made me want to stand up and show that pervert who he was messing with.
But then I'll just playing straight in to his hands.
Ashley tried her hardest not to show any emotion but her hands started to shake more and more with ever kiss Reaver left on her arm. It soon became to much for her and she spilt the wine over the table. Hastily she put down the bottle and fumbled for a cloth but Reaver grabbed her wrists.
"Now now…what did I say about being clumsy?"
Her eyes wide with sheer panic. "It…it was an…an accident… I'm sorry…P-please Master Reaver, I'm sorry!"
The look in his eye made me feel sick right down to my core. He raised his hand slowly as though to hit her but my hero instinct kicked in and I jumped between them just in time to feel his hand slap across my cheek, snapping my head to the side.
I kicked up hard striking him at his hip, sending him staggering back a few inches. But this didn't phase him. He grabbed my arm and pulled me close, his other hand griping my waste like a clamp.
"You're far too easy my sweet," he hissed down my ear. "Far too easy…far too human."
"Yeah…well that's because I am human." I struck backwards hitting his shin and breaking his hold on me in one swift spin. He lashed out as though to grab my hair but I dodged and stabbed him in the ribs with my elbow. I tried to follow up the blow with another strike but he dodged around me and pinned me up against the wall. We both struggled against each other but he was too strong so I faked a kick to his groin causing him to spin away, desperate not to damage his anatomy again. I took the opportunity and pinned him to the wall.
He regarded me with his devilish grin. "Hmmm, kinky."
I released him as if he suddenly turned to scorching white hot metal. "Ahhhh! Gross gross gross!"
He laughed and tackled me to the ground, where we both rolled around until I had him pinned down.
He looked so handsome, so irresistible lying there, his hair slightly ruffled and his luscious red lips grinning up at me. I couldn't help it…I'm only human…kinda.
I lent down and kissed his lips gently, his hot warm breath mixing with my own. I felt his hands stroke my shoulders and could feel his heart beating underneath me.
We stayed like that for who knows how long, I had comply forgot Ashley who sneaked quietly away. I didn't want to move. I just wanted to stay there, wrapped in Reaver's arms. He tilted his head deepening the kiss again.
"Sarah?" A familiar voice called from the doorway. I snapped my head up and stared eyes wide with shock at the newcomer. The joy that had filled me a moment ago turned to horrified surprise
"Ben?"
Chapter Twelve~End
Again sorry for the wait, school work and homework need to come first. I'm afraid this could mean longer gaps between chapters but I'll try my hardest to keep the waiting brief.
