Chapter 31

After the fire was well lit, he stood up and walked toward the front door. She was surprised to see him leaving. The room had just grown deliciously warm and he was soaking wet just like her. "You're leaving?" The question escaped her lips before she knew it. 'Am I supposed to stay here while you're stripping off the last piece of your clothes?' was the first reply floated in his brain, but he kept it in place. To say something like that to her was beneath his dignity. Before he made any reply, she added"You need to take off your clothes." Ava bit her lip at once, too late to hold the remark. Never crossed her mind she would say such a thing to him. He imagined how would it be to hear her saying it in another circumstances. "I can take care of myself. For now I suppose you wi

"It will work perfectly, won't it? How long will it take to cure the wound completely?"Ava cast a hopeful glance at the little pot in her hand. A thick, dark green colored ointment inside the pot gleaming in the candle, its exotic scent filled the air in Madam Nora's little cottage. "Certainly, it will cure any kind of wound in two or three days. Just try and you'll see the magic."Nora answered without the littlest doubt. The fortune teller strained her eyes at her in a mysterious gaze. "Get yourself prepared, young lady." "For what?" "Turn and twist of fate. It's coming your way, there's no stopping it, there's no escaping it." Another absurd, indecipherable prophecy. She better went home now, before the night fell. Certainly she didn't want to experience another terror like the last time she left this place. It didn't stop her to come here again, though. Because

"Thank you." She breathed in relief and dropped her gaze to his hand. She reached for it gently and brought it to her hands. He held his breath at her touch. Her fingers were cool and soft against his heated skin, soothing as much as arousing at the same time. He marveled at her soft, delicate fingers as she undid the strip binding his hand. Contrasting with his, her hands looked small and fair, her skin was the color of snowflowers. "It looks terrible. You may suffer some serious infections. Is it painful all the time?" Her anxious voice interrupted his imaginings. The strip was completely undone, exposing the wound in his swollen flesh. Looking down on the severe injury, a tender feeling for him rose inside her. He must be in pain all the time. She caressed the outer side of his wound reflexively to ease the pain. "A little..." He replied shortly, the sensation of her touch thrilled him and he feared a tinge of tremor

He must be insane, he was totally out of his mind. The brazen request should never be made, but the moment it was said, he felt greatly relieved he had done it before his senses came back and ruled him. Such a sweet tempting torture she was, he just wanted to endure it a little longer. She stood perfectly still, but couldn't bring herself to answer. Suddenly he was crazed by fear that she would reject his request. A second of wait felt like an hour of torture. When the pressure peaked to its extreme culmination, he uttered the question in measured composure. "Do you accept my term?" He detected a slight gleam in her eyes, like suspicion or hesitation. She stared at him in a state that seemed as if she was on the alert. "In one condition." She answered the question with a cautious reply."I accept as long as I am not to be painted nude." "God, no!!"He chuckled, coul

"I'm sorry." Damn. She had seen the drawing of her in his sketchbook. She must be imagining she was something special to him now. She must be thinking he had been attracted to her. But he shouldn't care overmuch about it, he had asked her to be his muse. He said openly he wanted to paint her. She must have known he had some kind of interest to her. "Sit over there!" He motioned to an armless settee, anger made his voice harsh. She obeyed in a rush, the next second she already settled herself there. "You're not allowed to do anything here other than sitting there and staying perfectly still. Keep your hands away from my things." She was still overwhelmed with the unexpected discovery, she barely felt fear or shock. She mused on him, wondering what was he thinking when making a sketch of her? Was she on his mind every second of it? Though, she shouldn't be too surprised about it. She had known it from

Chapter 36

She was completely ignoring him and he flew into a rage. In a second he already breezed across the room, grabbed her wrist and turned her to face him. The sudden violent move must have shocked her to death. He meant to give her a hard lesson but when he saw her flinching, when she looked at him with the fearful look in her eyes, suddenly the rage turned into a surge of guilt and remorse. She bursted out in a desperate look."Do you have to be this cruel to me? Whatever you might think or believe, I never meant to challenge you. I have no defense against you. Why would I ever want to vex you?" And the words struck him in the right place. He had been unnecessarily cruel to her. He knew certain things could provoke him to explode very easily, but this time he had acted like a total creep. He had overreacted to her response, in fact he was the one who pushed her to the edge. Moreover, how could he used such physical force to threaten a de

Chapter 37

Day 2 Ashton contemplated the unfinished image on the canvas, the painting of a face he was staring at was such a perilous beauty. She had misguided him out of his path. He had acted in contradictory with his own words. He had been inconsistent with his orders. He said to her that art was nothing important to him, yet now he asked her to be a part of his artistic project. He said to her that he wanted her to stay away from his properties, yet now he tricked her to come over and over again. Women like her would lead men astray, would lure men into sin. Women like her would bring men to fatal destruction, like a siren tempted the sailors to crash onto the rocks with her sweet singing. But she wasn't a vixen at all, she didn't manipulate him to do something for her advantage. Instead he was the one that trapped her into his wickedness. A week. What made him go to such length? At first, he just meant to have one last time wi

A concealed weapon. He made it sound as though she was planning an unexpected attack. Ava put the pistol and other stuffs inside the reticule quickly under his cautious inspection. "I bring it anytime, anywhere since the night I almost... you know, the night you saved my life. We never know when we would meet some ... unexpected situation." "You bring it in the morning? To the market?" She nodded. It was a lie. Actually she just didn't bother to tidy up her reticule after her last visit to Madam Nora. But she didn't want to complicate things up. "That's morbid." He was still looking at her with the same expression."Can you use it?" "Very well." That was the truth. She was dangerous, literally, it never occurred to him that she was carrying that weapon all the time while she was with him. He had b

Chapter 39

Every voice in the back of his mind warned him in extreme urgency to stop whatever game he played. That he would be the one who failed the test instead of her. Again he chose to ignore it. "I'm sure you will have no difficulty in finding a man who would be willing to provide you safety and security in return for your companionship." Most women would know what suggestion behind this statement, and if she was the same sort of women with her mother, she would undoubtedly know how to respond. Ava looked back at him warily. It surprised her that he had said such a thing to her. Could it be possible that he had an implicit purpose in his statement? Could it be a covert invitation? But she couldn't tell exactly because his statement was also innocuous enough to be considered so. Perhaps he just said it idly, with no particular purpose or reason. After a moment's consideration, she decided she didn't need to know his true intent

Chapter 40

What was happening to her? She felt silly and awkward and warm all over. She shook her head slightly to get rid of the strange emotion and tried to steady herself. She heard the grass made a soft, rustling sound as he stepped behind her. Ashton followed her in silence, watching her back as she moved across the field. His interest for her found an echo on her feelings. The signs were brief yet unmistakable. In split second her pupils dilated, almost smothering the green of her orbs, and she licked her lips, not in a seductive way, rather unconsciously. But as much as she was attracted to him, she was denying her own desire. She maintained her distance from him and wrenched away everytime he was near. It seemed like she had yet to perceive her own feelings. After a moment, Ava considered that she was still feeling unsound. No way. She couldn't have a crush on him, not a bit, not at all. He was a man whose good looks
