The Assassin's Redemption: A Princess's Journey to Forgiveness
Chapter 173: Innocently!
Isadora felt the water splash. What was he up to this time? She stiffened more when she heard him move. Damn! He was coming to her direction! Instinct led her to look up but she ended up averting her gaze, her face already retaining her rosy red color. This was crazy! He was walking, naked at that! Thank God she seen less of him. Alexander chuckled when he noticed she was avoiding him. He grabbed the towel and wrapped it around himself before turning to face her. She was still staring at the opposite direction. Maybe this would be enough for today, he thought. "I’ll be waiting in the bed," he said but she dared not lift her face. Alexander didn’t want to make her feel uncomfortable anymore so he decided to leave. She heard the door close behind before she sighed, pinching the skin between her brows. "Shameless jerk!" She cursed. He had the guts to walk around naked in her presence! Wait! Was he trying to.. Oh no, that can’t be. She scrapped the dirt off her skin quickly and wrapped a towel around her body. "Damn it!" The clothes! She had to get out. How could she have forgotten that? Oh not again! That jerk! She could only hope he was sleeping. She stepped out of the bathroom but unfortunately, Alexander was seated on the bed immersed in a book with a towel still wrapped on his body. His chest was still wet making Isa swallow. As if noticing her presence, Alexander lifted his eyes and there, the goddess was standing with only a towel wrapped on her. God! She looked... hot! His gaze rested on her full breasts making him imagine things. His beast surfaced! He suddenly wanted her pinned on his bed! His gaze traveled further south resting on those inviting and alluring thighs. Oh shit! He was losing hold of his beast now. His eyes reddened but he was quick to avert his gaze lest he scare her. What he needed was distance from her. He didn’t want to break the rule again lest he’d lose it this time. That, he was certain of. "Where can I get my clothes?" Isadora asked innocently. She hadn’t carried her clothes with her so she expected to be provided with some in the palace. Besides, she was going to live here. Little did she know she was adding fire to the blazing inferno. Alexander lifted his already burning eyes to look at her and he could see her stiffen. Did he scare her that much? He stood from the bed and approached her in measured steps. He could feel her breath itching with each step he took, and she involuntarily started walking back."Stop, or I’ll..." She threatened but all that fell on Alexander’s deaf ears. "Do you fear me?" He asked, his deep voice growling in resonance with his beast that it made her knees feel weak."No," she managed to talk. "But you are scaring me now." Her back came into contact with the solid wall. Oh Lord no! This was the end."Do you hate me?" He asked in the same raspy voice. He was too close already that Isadora could feel his uncontrolled breathing. His hands rested on either sides of the wall caging her in between. "Look at me," he demanded, his voice soft that Isadora thought he had regained normalcy. She lifted her head damn slowly that it hurt him. "I said look at me!" He growled louder making her stiffen holding her fists up in a defensive stance. God! He was scary! She lifted her eyes as her heart beat close to her ears before they rested on his bloody red ones. Gods, he looked scary! But instead of fearing him, Isadora found herself getting curios. Her hands involuntary flew to his face cupping his cheeks that it made him confused. What was this woman doing? Instead of running away from him, she was joking with hell flames! She’d get burnt, to ashes at that!"Your eyes," she innocently began,"They are red." She told him as if he didn’t know. "Is it the beast again? Maybe I can help." She said, her amber eyes shining in hope.Alexander felt like laughing. Wasn’t she scared of him? And how could she help him? Oh, how could he have forgotten it? She was the one destined to lift off his curse, or whatever it was. If she could help him, maybe he could think of letting her go.Isadora saw him nod lightly, a wry smile lighting her once scared face. Even she had no tiny idea of how she would help him. But there had to be something, right? She gazed into his red eyes before she closed in the distance between them, her warm breath faning his skin. His beast was now crawling on the surface ready to pounce on her anytime but he somehow managed to control it. But not until her lips softly landed on his. Isadora didn’t know how but she felt like kissing him would calm his beast but she was dead wrong. Now the beast had a taste of her and he would stop at nothing to make her his. She drew slowly looking at his now blazing eyes but instead of relief, all she could see now was insatiable hunger. "You shouldn’t have done that princess," Alexander warned before the beast took over instantly claiming her lips and kissing her with no reservation. She gasped in surprise but ended up in stifled moans as he knocked the air out of her lungs. She felt lightheaded, instantly forgetting everything and her mind ceased functioning. All she could feel was the movement of his thin lips on hers and now her body was burning in need, need which only he could satisfy. ’Claim Her!’ His beast roared in victory and his once red eyes turned a shocking pink that he looked like Lucifer himself. She tasted heavenly sweet but he wanted more! He wanted her pinned on his bed! And with just a thought, he teleported them in the bed, kissing every nook of her flawless skin. He could feel her quiver under his touch but this was just but a piece of cake, more tidings were on the way!It’s smoking hot guys huhu!! Please vote, both PS and GT will be appreciated.
