Chapter 58 SAGE

"Eat up. You haven't eaten anything since we took off," he said as the stewardess arranged a table in front of my seat.

"I'm not hungry," I replied without lifting my eyes, not daring to look at him.

I lost count on how long we have been flying. I had no idea how long the flight back to the palace was. When Elara and I had escaped, it had taken everything we had to get away. We'd snuck onto a cargo ship before finally making it to a city where we could book a flight to New York. That grueling journey had taken almost an entire day. "That's fine. Leave it there," I heard I him tell the stewardess.

I continued to stare out the window, my eyes tracing the endless expanse of clouds below us. I fell asleep during the flight, and I just woke up. Though my stomach starts to grumble, I'd rather starve to death than accept his offer. of me wanted to rebel, to stand up and demand answers, to shout at him for everything he had put me through. But I knew that would only play into his hands, giving him the reaction he was probably expecting. So instead, I sat there in silence with my hands clenched in my lap. The only sound in the cabin was the low hum of the plane's engines.

But my senses remain heightened as I feel his every move. I jumped for a bit when I felt him taking the seat beside me.

The whole flight, he chooses to give me the space I asked for. He remained seated on the empty seat in front of me. Despite our distance, I can still sense his eyes lingering on me. I tried my best to ignore the familiar feeling he brought to my wounded heart. Yet somehow, he decided to finally bridge the gap, seperating us both.

"I'm more than happy to feed you if you want," he suggested, which immediately irritates me.

With a smooth movement, he brought a grape to his lips, and before I could react, he pressed it against my mouth, slipping it between my parted lips with a slow, teasing motion. My eyes widened in shock, but he didn't stop there. He leaned in even closer, his warm breath mixing with mine, and used his tongue to gently push the grape further into my mouth. The sensation was electric. The sweetness of the grape blended with the heat of his touch. It was overwhelming me and leaving me completely at his mercy.

I should have pulled away; I should have pushed him back and told him off for being so bold, but my body betrayed me. My lips instinctively closed around the grape, my tongue brushing against his for the briefest moment, sending a shockwave through me. My heart pounded I in my chest, each beat louder than the last, as if trying to warn me of the danger I was falling into.

But instead of fear, all I felt was a dizzying rush of adrenaline, making it impossible to focus on anything but him. His eyes locked onto mine, dark and intense, as if he knew exactly what he was doing to me, and I enjoyed every second of it.

When he finally pulled back, leaving the grape in my mouth, I was left breathless. My thoughts were in a chaotic mess. I chewed slowly, trying to regain control, but the taste of the grape only reminded me of how it had gotten there.

I swallowed hard, my throat tight, and forced myself to speak, though my voice came out weaker than I intended. "What... what do you think you're doing?" I said, trying my best to sound irritated.
