"This is your room." Pegasus told me as we walked into one of the many rooms in his mansion.
The room was beautiful. It was decorated with many different silks and paintings. In the center was a large bed that had decorative mosquito netting around it. Around the sides were huge oak dressers. I felt as if I was in a princess's room.
"You really didn't have to." I protested, turning to face him.
"It's alright." He smiled, gently pulling me into an embrace.
"Thank you." I whispered.
"Remember you can always talk to me." He said as he pulled away. "I'll be in my study. If you need something, don't hesitate to ask."
"Thanks." I replied.
With that, he left me to my new room. Sighing, I put my bag on the bed and started to unpack. It didn't take me long to finish and to my surprise, as soon as I was done Pegasus came in with a tray of food. I smiled as he motioned for me to sit down at a table on the other side of the room.
"So," he looked at me as I sat down. "It seems as if Kaiba boy has reported you missing."
"What?" I nearly dropped the fork I was holding. "Oh my god."
"It seems as if the police are offering half a million dollar reward for you."
"I need to turn myself in." I started to stand up but he put his hand on my arm and sat me back down. "I can't get you into trouble."
"Tell me who did this to you."
"I can't."
"Why not?"
"Because you would be killed if I did." I stood up and walked onto the balcony on the other side of the room.
Outside, I looked at the horizon and sighed. Then I heard Pegasus walk up behind me. He put his arms around my waist and I let my hands cover his.
"Who would kill me?" He asked gently.
"Seto. He was the one who did this." I admitted, tears starting to fall.
"Why?"
"He needs an heir. Plus he has a secret, that's why he's so desperate to find me."
"What type of secret?"
"I can't tell you." I whispered. "I'm sorry."
"Don't ever be sorry."
"What?" I turned to face him.
"Don't ever be sorry." He repeated, looking into my eyes. "You've been put through too much. You need rest. Come."
Pegasus led me to the bed and gently sat me down on it. I didn't look at him at first. Then I felt his hands go around my waist and pull me closer to him. Slowly, I relaxed and rested my head on his shoulder. For the first time, I actually felt safe.
"I will never let him hurt you again. I promise." I heard him whisper as I drifted off into a peaceful slumber.
The rays of sun woke me up the next morning. I stretched and then noticed a note on my bedside table. It read:
Meet me in the garden.-Maximillion Pegasus.
Why would he want me to meet him in the garden? I thought to myself before showering and getting changed. Then I hurried to meet him in the garden.
The warm breeze that I met was welcoming and I enjoyed it as I searched the garden for my host. I found him near a pond surrounded by lilies. Slowly, I approached him. He must have heard me because he turned and smiled; motioning for me to sit next to him.
"How did you sleep?" He questioned, putting his arm around my waist.
"Very well." I smiled, resting my head on his shoulder.
"I'm glad to hear that." He pulled me closer to him. "You're tense, relax. I'd never hurt you."
"I know that, but-"
I was cut off as he kissed me full on the lips. Instinctively I tried to pull back but I felt his hand on the back of my neck, preventing me from breaking the kiss. Slowly, I started to enjoy it. The kiss was soft and gentle, nothing like Seto's. Soon we had to break it; both of us were running out of oxygen.
For some reason, I couldn't look at him. I stared at the ground as I caught my breath. Then, I felt his hand on my chin. He made me look at him and I nearly got lost in his eye. Suddenly, I pushed his hand away from me and looked at the ground.
"Thank you for all you've done for me." I said. "But I really must go. Seto will probably have all of his goons here soon and I can't let him hurt you."
"He can't hurt me."
"Mr. Pegasus, I-"
"Maximillion."
"Look, I can't let you get hurt." I stood up and started to walk away.
I could hear him behind me but I didn't stop. Then I felt his hand on my arm. He pulled me to him and made me look in to his eye.
"Please stay." He was begging me.
"I…" I couldn't seem to find words. "He'll kill you."
"Kaiba boy isn't the only one who has connections. I'll be fine. Anyway, it's you I care about. Please stay Mrs.…."
"Victoria." I looked into his eyes. "Victoria Brown."
"Let's go inside Victoria." He suggested quietly, leading me toward the house.
We spent the rest of the day talking in Maximillion's room. I learned a lot of things about him, that he had been married once and that he was the creator of Duel Monsters. Now he was retired and living very comfortably. I'd also told him a lot about me; how I'd gotten married to Seto and about my family in England.
Now we sat on his bed, watching the sunset through the large bay window. He held me close to him, absentmindedly running his fingers up and down my arm. I rested my head on his shoulder and sighed, relaxing more than I have ever relaxed. Maximillion seemed to realize that and gently pulled me onto his lap.
I looked at him, startled. He smiled and started kissing my neck.
"Relax." He whispered between kisses.
Slowly, I did as he asked and started enjoying the attention. Then, I felt his hands slowly moving to my thighs. Chills ran down my spine as he started nibbling my ear. A moan escaped my lips and I felt him smirk against my skin.
"I love you Victoria." I heard him whisper as he pulled me to lie on the bed.
"I love you too."
My voice was swept away by the winds. Around sunrise I snuggled into Maximillion's arms, now the happiest woman on earth.
