Never been kissed
Jessica didn't reply her. She merely made sure Zi Mei had signed the document, then she placed it back in the file and stood up.
"You are only supposed to sign this, not add to it," she said. "Thorin will be back and you can explain to him why you defaced the contract this way,"
Then she left. The two burly men followed her. The door closed behind them and the lock turned. Still, she went to the door and tried it. It was locked. Then she kicked it out of frustration. Annoying dragons and their stupid contracts, she thought.
She went back to pacing the room. Did she do the right thing by signing it? She doesn't know. She only wished he would not keep her like a prisoner. She might go mad being imprisoned here like some baby making slave.
How was she supposed to spend her days? Lay there and wait for Thorin to come and ravish her? Certainly that will take only like, what, five minutes? 10 minutes? She doesn't know since she has never done it before. She is a virgin for crying out loud. She has never even been kissed! Then, what was she supposed to do with the rest of the time she had? Sit around and hope she conceived? Stare out the window? Pace and talk to herself like some mad person, exactly like what she was doing now.
She threw herself on the bed and buried her face in the soft pillow. Although there was no mention of soul or selling her soul, this imprisonment is just as bad. If not worse. She screamed into the pillow.
"Why me? Hah. Very funny, fate. Can you please let up now and give me a chance to live normally?" she thought. It was as if her life wasn't bad enough, she had to get kidnapped by some old dragon, had to be propositioned to be his mistress, had to be forced to have his babies and the catch, be his prisoner in a room with nothing but functional furniture in it.
She didn't know how long she lay there but somehow she fell asleep. She woke up to someone gently shaking her. She was still lying on her stomach so she turned around and Thorin Loong was looking down at her. His face unreadable and his eyes dark.
"Waiting for me to consummate our contract?" he asked.
She scrambled up and sat up, shrinking away from him. She knows it is inevitable that he will want to mate with her soon but she wasn't exactly ready.
Having sex with someone for the first time is a big thing. And he is still practically a stranger. She doesn't even want to imagine undressing in front of him. Or lying naked on the bed and waiting for him. The thought of him naked and on top of her came to mind. The imagery made her blush a tomato red.
"You did promise that you will not force yourself on me!" she cried out in fear.
He chuckled. He offered her a hand. "Come, let me show you something," he said.
She took his hand tentatively. His large warm hands enclosed hers. An electrical current passed between them and she gasped. She could feel arousal blooming within her. Just from touching his hands. She tried to pull her hand out of his but he tightened his grip.
He pulled her off the bed and then, still holding her hand, he started leading her to the door. He opened the door.
"Since you wanted to go out so much, I am giving you a tour of my place," he said.
She was barely paying attention. His warm hand holding hers was making her blood gush in her ears and her heart was pounding so hard, it felt like it was about to burst any second. She took a deep breath and tried to ignore their linked hands. It's not like this is the first time she has touched a man's hands.
Okay, so it is the first time she is holding hand with a man. A dashingly good looking and sexy man who happens to be an ancient dragon too. Please Zi Mei, calm down. It is just his hands, she told her pounding heart and fluttering stomach.
She tried to divert her own attention to her surroundings. They are in some sort of hallway that opens up to a spacious living room that was luxuriously decorated.
Everything was white and gold. A sparkling gold and crystal chandelier dripped down from the ceiling. She gasped. She it was not a hotel room after all. It was his home. A condominium.
Thorin linked their fingers intimately and then held her close to his side as he took her on a tour of his home. It was so huge that by the time they got to the other wing, she had forgotten which side she was locked in and where the room was.
It was like a maze of rooms and sitting areas and living rooms and entertainment rooms (Yes! A home theatre! And a game room!) that she would have gotten lost if she had tried to escape. They needn't even bother to lock her in. She wouldn't know how to get out of this place.
"This will be where you will be staying with me, where we will consummate our contract and mate," he said as he opened another door.
This room is huge. It was so huge she couldn't even see the other end of it and she promptly forgot about what she will be doing in this room with the man holding her hand. It was furnished in a minimalist style with clean white lines and adorned with gold finishings. What took her breath away was the huge bed that took centerstage. It was not the conventional queen size or king size rectangle bed. It was a huge round bed that looked like it could fit 10 people on it comfortably.
Then she remembered what she was doing here. She will be sleeping in that bed with Thorin. Thorin whose large warm hands are holding hers so intimately. Like they are an actual couple and not just an ancient dragon with his baby making slave.
"You've been staring at the bed for a long time. Do you want to start now?" he asked her. She blushed.
"No, no, I was just surprised that the bed is so huge. I mean, I can't be that big and you…er…in your human form, are not that big either," she said.
"What makes you think I will be in my human form at all times?" he asked. He walked into the room, pulling her with him.
Her eyes widened at his words.
"You mean? I…er…we…er…wha….we…er…will be doing it while you are a dragon?" she stammered, shocked. How does that even work???
He laughed at her expression and shock.
"I was just joking with you. I just like a large bed…more ways and positions to use it…even in a very vanilla way," he said and wriggled his eyebrows suggestively. This made her blush an even deeper shade of red.
He showed her around the room. Other than the bed, there was a sitting area too with a set of sofa, armchairs and a loveseat. On another side, there was a reading area with shelves of books. Then there was a large balcony with a landscaped garden complete with fountains, a jacuzzi tub and a pond and outdoor seating and even a gazebo.
The ensuite bathroom was amazingly huge too. It has a large jacuzzi tub that can fit two adults perfectly (as if the one outside is not enough), two shower stalls and two sets of everything. They could brush their teeth next to each other like some regular married couple.
And of course, it comes with a walk-in wardrobe with one side for him and another side for her. Her side is already filled with new designer branded clothes, shoes, bags and accessories that she didn't recognise. She assumed he had probably gotten Jessica or one of this many servants to do the shopping for her. Or maybe he only need to snap a finger and conjure it all up. She really didn't know what his powers could do.
"So, shall we get started?" he asked when they are standing in the middle of the room again, facing the humongous bed.
