9 Sweet Embrace

The following day.

When Sabrina woke up, Rhett was no longer by her side. She stared at the ceiling and recalled what happened to them last night, she blushed crimson red. She covered her face with her hands due to shame.

What Rhett has done to her?

What has she done? Why she's not doing anything to prevent Rhett's advances?

She did something though, that's why nothing happened last night.

On the other hand, she had to admit to herself that she was not repulsed by what Rhett had done to her body. It's completely wrong but somehow she likes it!

She released a deep sigh, feeling frustrated and disappointed with herself.

Was she getting attracted to Rhett physically? He was the only guy she met that had taken an interest in her body and made her feel so hot inside.

Last night, when she felt his hand trying to get inside her underwear, she was awakened from the intoxicating sensation and caught him on the act. It's a good thing that she managed to stop him before he can succeed with his perverted plan of taking over her body.

She wants to avoid him. She was still upset and angry at Rhett for deceiving her into entering the cave. She should not give in easily to his advances! She should stop him right away if he starts to touch her body. She was afraid that the longer she's going to stay by his side, he will finally get what he wants from her.

The problem is, she can't avoid him completely.

She can avoid him during the day, but it would be impossible to avoid him during the night because they will be sleeping on the same bed. She needs the warmth of his body to survive the freezing temperature during the night.

Ugh!

What a difficult situation she found herself in!

She wants to leave the cave but she can't!

There is no way out for her!

She's frustrated with her situation. But she can't do anything to end her dilemma.

A few minutes later.

Rhett entered the chamber holding the basket filled with food. "Wake up now sleepy head! Time for breakfast!" he said. He placed the food on the table and looked at her. "Do you want to use the toilet first before eating breakfast?" he asked.

She nodded her head and left the bed without saying a single word to him. She exited the chamber going to the location of the toilet.

Rhett followed Sabrina from behind.

The atmosphere between them was a bit awkward.

Sabrina was determined on giving him a cold shoulder.

Rhett sighed heavily. He must avoid romancing her tonight so that her anger towards him will disperse quickly. He can't allow such hatred to grow in her heart. He must gain her trust and her heart. More than anything else, he wants Sabrina to be his woman and grow old with her.

She's the perfect woman for him.

He likes everything about her.

He's going crazy if he can't have her.

They arrived at the location of the toilet.

A few minutes later.

Sabrina finished her business in the toilet.

Next, they went to the stream and washes their hands, then proceed to the chamber to eat their breakfast.

After they finished breakfast, they went to the entrance of the cave and watched the morning passed by like a blur before their very eyes.

Sabrina stared at the Maple trees surrounding the cave. Their leaves displayed an explosion of colors... green... yellow... orange. She never thought that this day would come, that she can only stare at them from afar.

She lost her freedom and she's getting depressed as days goes by because her situation is real! She wished that everything she experienced right now is all part of a dream and when she wake up tomorrow, she's back in the hut with Grandma Azere and everything is back to normal.

Rhett looked at his pretty companion. Sabrina was in deep thoughts again. He knows that he's not the one she was thinking in her mind right now. She's still agonizing about her situation, she's having a hard time dealing with her current situation which is completely understandable.

On the other hand, Sabrina is the only one occupying his mind right now. Everything about her fascinated her. He can't stop thinking and imagining fantastic things about her. He's looking forward to the evening so that once again he can wrap his arms freely around her irresistible body.

Yeah... tonight he will be a good boy. He will just hold her and enjoy her company until they will fall asleep together.

"Beauty, what are you thinking in that pretty head of yours?" he asked curiously.

Sabrina sighed deeply and looked at him. "When are you going to tell me everything related to your curse?" she asked.

"I told you before... I can't tell you about it unless we become lovers first," he insisted.

She glared at him. "We have already done it last night, what more can you ask for?"

Rhett smiled. "Beauty, last night is not counted. What happened to us last night is just baptism of fire. It's called foreplay but nothing significant happen between us. We're still not lovers in the true essence of the word," he explained.

"Whaaat?" Sabrina blurted, outrage that he's not satisfied yet. He wants more from her!

"You're right, I want more from you. I want your body, your heart, your loyalty, your devotion and everything you can offer to me. I want your all!" Rhett declared.

Sabrina rolled her eyes. "Have you forgotten that you have deceived me in coming her!? That's why I'm now a prisoner of this cave. How can you forget so easily that it's all your fault why I'm here. And you still have the audacity to ask for my loyalty and devotion? How entitled you are!" she shouted at him angrily.

Enraged, she left the mouth of the cave and went back to the chamber, fuming in anger.

Rhett released a troubled sigh. He can't blame her for hating him, it's all his fault, now he has to suffer her wrath. He must be patient in dealing with her outburst and erratic mood because in the first place she didn't enter the cave on her own accord, he tricked her.

Rhett stayed at the entrance of the cave, looking outside, wondering if it's already safe to go back to the chamber.

Although Rhett was bothered by Sabrina's action, he can't blame her though. He must deal her with utmost patience, it's his way of apologizing to her. He has to give her enough space so that she can breathe and not feel suffocated by his presence.

Hours went by.

Evening comes.

After eating dinner, they rested on the bed.

Sabrina fixed her eyes on the wall while Rhett stared at the ceiling, keeping his mouth shut, careful not to disturb her solitude.

At midnight when the temperature of the cave was already freezing, Rhett automatically wrapped his arms around Sabrina. He planted a kiss on her head. "Good night," he whispered.

Sabrina welcome his embrace willingly, on the other hand, she was also observant of what he's going to do next. Surprisingly, he didn't do anything that can arouse her wrath. Satisfied, she close her eyes to sleep.

One hour later.

Rhett felt contented just listening to Sabrina's soft snoring, like a beautiful music to his ears. She was sleeping comfortably in his sweet embrace. He kissed her again, this time on her cheek, then he shut his eyes to sleep, feeling happy and warm inside.
