Chapter five: Kitty, you’re mine. Do as I say

Arya’s point of view

I almost voiced out my irritation at the way he roughly tugged the cloth off my eyes causing my hair to cascade down my shoulders.

Already at the climax of my curiosity, I locked his gaze immediately the wrap left my eyes.

This man...Is this the man that bought me? He’s.. he’s so handsome, Oh my gosh!.

Saying I was spellbound would be an understatement!

This man must be a Greek god like in the movies, with his exotic facial features there’s no doubt women swoon all over him, honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if men did too.

For short, he’s the perfect description of your dream idol. From his sharp jawline and high nose bridge to his masculine broad shoulders and long slender legs all screaming perfection.

Although I wouldn’t have pictured him for the type who buys girls at an auction especially with this stoic expression of his, plus he could get any woman he wants!

Well, it’s as they say, you can’t judge a book by its cover, tsk.

All these thoughts running through my head in micro seconds as I felt a rough cold hand grip my chin causing me to yelp in pain.

Before I could express my displeasure the words that came out of his mouth froze me to my core while I broke out in cold sweat leaving my helpless mind running wild as tons of emotions pigmented my features, it was no news that I was terrible at coating my emotions.

Still searching his eyes to check if his words were mere careless flippancies but his resilient gaze told me otherwise.

“Get up and strip”

The unknown man commanded, his deep voice reverberated through the room bringing me out of my ogling phase.

I stared on mortified as sudden realization hit me. I’ve just been bought for a one night stand by this unbelievably handsome man, but that also mean I’ll loose my virginity tonight!

Feeling his piercing gaze at me, I get up to undress but instinctively move towards the counter for a glass to alleviate the burning feeling creeping through my veins.

“God damn it!, why won’t it bulge, I’m positive this zipper is determined to ruin my life” I said underneath my breathe as I dare not spare him a glance.

I gulped as I summoned courage to meet his fierce gaze, with an almost inaudible tone I pleaded.

“It won’t bulge, can you help me?”

He closed the gap between us with long strides while I subconsciously retreated till I hit the wall.

With such proximity I could feel my heart slamming against my chest as I tried to fix my gaze anywhere but his prying dark hazel eyes.

In a split second my lips were captured in a rough but yet sensational kiss, caught unaware by this sudden intrusion my reflexes kicked in as I pushed and raised my hands against him.

“Pah!”

The sound of a slap resounded through the room, with eyes filled with terror I flew my hands to cover my mouth as I couldn’t believe what I just did.

“How dare you!”

He roared and I knew I was done for!

“I’m sorry” I voiced out, or did I?

At least that’s what I’d like to believe, cause I was too terrified to speak out.

In the midst of his threats and death glares I heard him say something that stung a nerve, and just as though the temperature in the room dropped, my eyes grew cold and sharp.

How dare this unknown man say such words about my mother?! I was beyond infuriated, It took every fiber in me to take a deep breath and politely but sternly correct such misappropriation.

God damn him, such nerves he has, I thought as I balled my fist while walking towards the door knowing this one night stand was obviously a bust, only to hear the sound of a clap.

I halted confused at what this man was aiming at,

But his next move was off the chart hilarious and extremely absurd.

“What?!”

I asked not because I didn’t hear him the first time but to be sure my ears weren’t playing tricks on me.

A contract! Huh? And what’s with the talk about his brother’s charm.

Unbelievable. I concluded that this man must be a lunatic, first he spent ten million dollars on a one night stand now he’s going on about a marriage contract? Is he that desperate to get married?

He may be good looking but there’s something terribly wrong with his head.

After a couple of minutes I realized I’ve been staring at thin air, apparently Mr unknown has sprinted out of the room, I hurriedly followed behind.

But immediately the door shut behind me my eyes widened in disbelief, this place is humongous! I was so dumbstruck that I didn’t realize my mouth was left ajar.

I stood taking in the gigantic structure that’s as magnificent as a castle but gloomy as an abandoned mansion.

The monotone paintings and interior don’t do justice to its aristocratic feel, I can only imagine how grand the exteriors would look,

I stared on with dreamy eyes but that beautiful scenery was cut abrupt when a deep voice slapped off the imaginary pictures from my head making me suddenly aware of where I was.

Standing in the mist of an array of guards I let out an awkward chuckle that didn’t go half way in alleviating the choked atmosphere.

“What is it?”

The unknown man asked and then shot his guards a cold look which made them turn around instantly.

That’s when I realized I was still wearing the Phoenix costume, I hid my head in shame, my face turned pale instantly, saying I was abashed right now would be an understatement.

I summoned courage to face him and caught his wanton eyes.

despite ordering his guards to look away his eyes were fixated all over me. I threw my hands over my chest instinctively but to my greatest dismay he didn’t have the decency to look away.

His gaze alone sent shivers down my spine, not liking the effect his gaze was having on me I looked away and made a mental note that this man was dangerous and definitely not simple.

Fighting hard to ignore the lingering lust in his eyes I finally found my voice and said

“I want to see my mom, tonight....please”.

He turned to leave but halted and said to one of his guards

“Get a driver to take her there”-

“There’s no need, I can manage”.

I interjected and to my surprise there was a sudden silence, the looks on some of the maids told me I was probably toast.

Before I could take back my words I realized he was already bridging the distance between us.

my eyes darting and searching the ceilings for answers, why do I keep incurring his wrath, we just met and all I’ve done is step on his toes.

I took a deep sigh in frustration and when I opened my eyes I was greeted with a pair of hazel brown eyes staring deep into my innermost soul,

I gulped in an attempt to get my composure.

Just when I thought I had it I looked down at his lips causing the memory of the kiss to flash through my head as I felt my cheeks burn, I bit down my lower lip to stop the trembling, but that only made things worse as his eyes trailed down and followed the movements of my lips.

Beads of seat rolled down my fore head, what does he intend to do? There are maids and guards here.

I would be lying if I said I wasn’t feeling jittery, heck! my stomach was throwing a backflip out of excitement and silently wishing things don’t escalate.

but it seems Lady Luck wasn’t on my side today because immediately after that silent wish he leaned in and whispered into my ears and I instantly felt weak in the knees.

“Kitty, you’re mine. Do as I say”.

He drawled with a tenacious smirk and no trace of gentleness in his words but they definitely made my hairs stand.

He withdrew and I let out a breath I didn’t know I was holding.

With his back turned against me, he took long strides down the corridor while the guards followed array, and I held on to the door knob for support.

“God damn it! What’s wrong with my body? Huh? And who’s he calling kitty? Argh!” I vented in frustration.
