Chapter 104: Hypnotized by Desire

Making our way back was a bit awkward for Sally. I made sure, she couldn't break free from my grip hooked on her hip side. I gave her a glance giving her my warning, I wasn't having it. She was to stay in my grasp and that's how it was going to be. There were too many scavenger groups gathering about for my liking.

Only us guys heard screaming further in the distance. Likely women falling victim to a scavenger, snatching them. So I wasn't about to allow that to happen to Sally, Maria, or Samuel. A head King not only cares for his bride but also cares for the other women and children from his Kingdom. So we all made sure to protect them. Thankfully, she took the hint and allowed me to hold her around her waistline.

Sally was very annoyed that he is being so weird. Her eyes veered about and she saw nothing threatening going on. So she didn't understand why the guys were acting ridiculous. Her eyes even glanced at John guarding Maria and his infant son like a Phoenix. She rolled her eyes thinking they must still be on edge from that attack. So she settled down and tried to understand they are only being paranoid.

••••

Altogether we made it back to the van. First, we made sure to put Sally and Maria inside. As the guys continued to keep a watchful eye on our surroundings. Once the ladies were good, we got in next. I jumped into the driver's seat and drove off heading back to that mansion.

•••••••

Dim light had just peaked once we got back and went inside the mansion. So everyone turned in for the night. Parting our ways with another, so I took Sally back to our room.

Sally changed into something more comfortable to sleep in from inside the bathroom. I went inside my closet and changed into a pair of shorts. Again we haven't spoken since I was talking to Deacon's men in town.

Meanwhile, from inside the bathroom, Sally pondered if this would be the perfect time to speak with him about the double room. She wasn't sure to ask him as she undressed. Yet at the same time, she understood that if she didn't try then she'd never know the answer. The idea of sharing a bed with him kinda freaked her out. She wasn't ready for this to happen. Once dressed into something more suitable for bed. She came out of the bathroom and noticed Cory going through his stuff from inside his closet.

Stepping out of my closet my eyes caught sight of those beautiful ember hazel galaxy eyes looking at me. All while I noticed she was wearing a strapped red top revealing some nice cleavage and comfortable black pants. Her breasts were perky and rounded to the perfect size to my liking. Those peaks moved about freely from her not wearing a bra. Even the valley between them was beautiful. Man, she was just so ravishing even for only getting ready for bed. My eyes and mouth must be drooling!

Suddenly, she went to her bedside and picked up the black velvet zipper jacket, and started putting it over her shoulders.

Yeah, she was getting disgusted with him ogling up and down her body. What a jerk! She spat in her head. Thank goodness for the jacket, she thought...

I inwardly chuckled to think she didn't want me eyeing up her amazing body. If only she could understand, I wasn't seeing her as a slice of cake. Although yeah, sure, the male part of me wouldn't mind taking a bite out of her. But I had to control that side of me. Weirdly enough, for once I had to control myself from wanting a taste of her. I even felt it in my groin! Man, I need to get a grip here!

But who could blame me? How could I stop my wander on the way her body would feel in my arms skin to skin. While my lips taste every sensitive spot to make her body quiver underneath me.

After all, whether she like it or not, that body of hers was now considered mine. She'll be my wife so, of course, I'll get my chance to devour her to my full satisfaction. Whether she likes it or not, she is mine now and forever.

Just by looking at her, I find her so breathtaking. That it's hard to not wanna gaze at her or touch her. Her innocent sweet face is so darling to me. It's like I'm in a trance that is alluring me into the depths of this unexplainable hypnotism of desire.

"Ahem!" I cleared my throat and swerved my eyes away. Since I noticed, I was making her uncomfortable. She is very uneasy with me. As this odd silence didn't let up between us. Which is almost making me lose control of wanting to continuously lay my eyes on her. Until eventually my sight did meet hers but I see that certain look in her eye. She was certainly thinking something. Even her fingertips were nervously fidgeting at her hips. Which made her look even cuter when she acted like a nervous kitten.

Breaking the awkward silence. "I have a request for you?" She randomly spoke out of nowhere being persistent.

"Oh," I said amused, "Well, then let's hear?" I was curious about where this was going.

So Sally went on with her request and was straightforward about it. "Since you won't let me have my own room. How about a double room? I want to be proper about this. I'm sharing a room with a man I'm engaged to! Let alone I don't even know you. I don't even think you understand how uncomfortable I am about all this right now."

[Author's note~ Do read carefully on Sally's inward or outward viewpoint. Sally will be going through mutation changes. She is the Grand Duchess but her hidden power hasn't developed yet. Like Kyle's family said her blood isn't ready to be harvest. As you read you'll to see her changing. I feel this was important to share with my reader. You might not caught it a first.]
