Hell Marriage

Chapter 16: Battle of Wills

Ava’s POV

I opened my eyes slowly, his gaze on my face was disturbing, I turned my face sideways.

“What’s your answer?” He asked, I glanced at him to find him smirking.

“Yes, I’ll teach you how to cook.” I didn’t have an option, his gaze was too fixed on my face.

I wanted him badly that my soft place throbbed. He removed his hands from inside my shirt slowly, stroking my breast, As he did so, I couldn’t breath.

“So when do we get started?” He asked.

Connor’s POV

I could feel the throbbing sensation in my manhood. The urge to tear her clothes right there and make her bend over, I controlled myself with the last bit of restraint in me.

“Wha… what?, You want to start now?” She asked in surprise.

“Of course, don’t you think I’ll like to start right away, I mean… if it’s possible?” He smirked.

“I don’t think I…” She started to say.

“Are you scared?” I asked her tauntingly.

“No I’m not.” She glared at me. “So then you’re saying you don’t want to take me as your student? I thought you agreed..” I teased again.

“Yeah, I said.. I mean… I’ll take you on as my student and…” She stared past my head, what is she staring at?. Then I realised her mouth was slightly opened. Wait! Is she drooling? About what?

Oh I get it…

“”I can be your student in the kitchen and you can be mine in the bedroom you know… sounds like a nice deal to me.” I said, flaming up her desire.

She gasped, it was working… I must have disrupted her imagination, because she suddenly glared at me.

“What? You rouge, your student?, so silly, I can never….” She was getting along quite well in the anger department.

“Look I was just kidding but since you’re hungry and you agreed to teaching how to cook, why don’t we head there right now, I can use a bite or two of that beef sandwich you made other day and as well learn how to make it.” I rushed on to tell her

“Oh.. okay.” At the prospect of food, she calmed down suddenly, seems I know what calms her down when she starts to rant my head off.

“Deal?” I asked her, wanting to be sure about it. “Yeah, deal She replied, a little unfocused.

I hate to disturb whatever she was thinking but I needed her to get off right now or we won’t leave here the whole day. It’s becoming to much for me to control.

” Look, why don’t we get started on that sandwich already, my mouth is starting to water at the prospect of biting into it.” I said, hoping she would get off.

“Starting what? Biting what?” She asked, Still unfocused; I shook her a little.

“The cooking, remember?” I reminded her.

“Oh yeah, that’s right.” She replied. I think she’s out of her imagination now. “Let’s go.”

********

Two hours later, after cutting different sizes of bread and eating dozens of them, I was full and finally ready to quit. Even though it was fun and making everyone, in the palace sandwiches, I was totally ready to quit, at least I know I’m good at making sandwich.

Maybe it’s me or I just realized this!

I think she imagines things and has a very lively imagination. Twice, have i jolted her out of her imagination. Once She even cooed out loud. I think I’ve found another of her hobbies, if I was told 6 months ago that I would ever stand side by side with her and cook, well, not really cooking, I would have laughed and beheaded such person right there and then but now, I glanced at her as she was wiping her hands on a napkin.

I have been paged five times by Nicholas, I know it has something to do with official matters, but I just didn’t want to leave her yet.

“Look.” She glanced over her shoulder at me.

“I have to go, uhm… I have some things… I mean official matters I have to attend to.”

I told her finding it hard to leave her, an emotion flashed through her eyes, it went away quickly before i could identify what it was.

“Oh okay.” She said dryly. “I’ll see you later then.” I told her, still standing at the same spot.

“You’re sure you’ll be fine?” I asked, she looked at me as if I’ve lost it. Right, I remember she has always been fine without me and she doesn’t need me to hang around. “Connor..” She called out. “I know you’ll be fine, so then I’ll see you later.” I said and walked out of the kitchen.

*******

Somewhere outside the compound…(The vampire’s vicinity)

“So you mean to tell me the person that actually poisoned your ruling vampire is his mistress?”

The person stated in surprise.

“It would seem so, we even had information that prince Alex has fled the compound also and no one seem to know his location.” The informant said.

“Well, at least there’s some action and that’s to be expected, so you said the ruling vampire and his mate are on good terms?, how so few months ago they wouldn’t even talk to each other!.” The person said in surprise.

“Yes it seems so” the informant said

“So that means he marked her?” The person asked

“No, our informant inside the palace has informed us that there has been no marking yet” the informant said.

“And how do your informant come by this information or get to this conclusion?” He asked

“It’s comeon knowledge that when a ruling Vampire has to mark his mate, it has to be done in front of the elders or the entire clan, and that has not happened yet sir” the informant assured

“Oh ” The person arched his brow in thinking

“But if I may ask sir, why do you want to know all the happenings in the compound?” The informant asked

“That shouldn’t be your concern, I pay you to do your job so do it” he slanted the informant an evil lookContentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

“Yes sir” the informant replied bowing, leaving the room

“Just so you know, I like to know about things that happens not to be my business just so I can stay on top of things” the person added after another thought when the informant reached the door…….

To stay on top of things….. Why does he need to stay on top of things?.
