Chapter-41. The ride(18+)
[Xanthea]
My eyelids fluttered to his eyes, trying to decipher his gaze.
"T-thank you..." I said.
He cocked a brow, tilting his head.
I lowered my gaze and continued.
"... for bringing me here."
"Mostly canary serenades the vocal cord. Seems like a cat did that job this time," he chuckled slightly, teasing me.
"I saw a canary too..." I said, keeping my gaze fixed on the grass. "... as a healing partner of a shape shifting serpent." God knows why I was telling him that.
"Now, did you? Hmm. Their voices have healing abilities," he said, and I looked at him.
"Do you... did you... have a healing partner?" I asked.
"Why this sudden interest in me?"
"I-I am not-"
"You're not interested in me? I never was an interesting person to start with. Nyssa says I am the most boring man she has met."
A knot tightened in my stomach at the mention of Nyssa's name.
"No, Alpha. That's not-"
Before I could say a word more, Raven placed his finger on my lips.
"Butterflies..." he whispered, leaning closer to my face.
"B-butterflies?" I lifted my gaze to his eyes that lingered on my lips.
He lifted the corner of his lips.
"Those creatures are too graceful for me, aren't they?"
"N-no-"
"Who were you expecting to be my healing partner?" His voice darkened. "A rhinoceros?" He said with utmost seriousness. Pffft!
I leaned back instantly, covered my mouth with my hand, suppressing my laughter as I shook my head.
"I am sorry. I-I didn't mean to..."
He held my hand and my body tensed up slightly.
"Apologizing for no reason is a very bad habit of yours. It ruins... good moments..." he grunted, lowering my hand from my mouth. "I intended that to be funny, so I could find out if I could make you laugh. But you stole that laughter from me. I need compensation." He said in an impassive tone.
Unconsciously staying in an eye lock with him for a while, I averted my gaze. A fluttering discomfort erupted in my belly. Almost like a heated jitter that coursed through my body.
My heart was racing, my chest heaving faster, and I didn't know what to say.
Was he... flirting?
He placed his slightly icy fingers on my heated face. I shuddered as tantalizing goosebumps ran through my body. I shut my eyes, relishing on his cold touch as he caressed my cheeks. I must be out of my mind.
What am I doing? It seems as though I am losing control over my own body.
I preferred the Raven, who always had a scowl on his face, who was always angry. At least, I could know for sure that I had to stay on guard around him.
But right now, I don't know if I should be on guard. If yes, then... how?
He was walking right through all the emotional walls I had created and I felt so helpless.
