Chapter 92 - Scared Of Hurting Your Feelings ~
The ride was quite more calmer than an empty midnight street. The horses snarled instinctively as they ride away towards the discerned place. Inside the curtained carriage,only shallow breathing could be heard of them as they both shared a blank glance.
Esme fell in silence at his words that melted the last bit of restriction in her mind. Looking down at his poor face, she felt the extreme pain and discomfort that she had never felt before for someone except her baby daughter.
In this entire cliffhangers of her life, she never faced the hard choices of hearing her own mind or logic. She was banned, humiliated and worst of all had been declared as prostitute in front of the whole world but she never regretted when she needed to endure everything for Ayra and her safety. Hiding her from all the evil people across the world, she gave her a safe shelter. But right now, except Ayra,Aaron was the only person in her life that could make her heart wrenched for leaving him.
She whispered averting her eyes from him,
" Protecting you is my duty as your wife."
Aaron let out a hot, exhausted breathe before mumbling,
" I don't want duty..!"
Esme's body stiffed before heard him continuing in an emotional tone,
" I want you to protect me because you love me, you care for me. "
She never found his demand unreasonable. After being staying by his side, she knew that this man would kill himself first before harming her. But the future isn't known to anyone.
Holding him more tightly, she whispered while caressing his back slowly,
" We can talk about it later once you have recovered, okay? Don't you see? Your body got several bruises so deeply."
Aaron laughed bitterly and responded tugging his head into the depth of her shoulders,
" You only see my this bruises, Esme? My heart has more scars than it. Did you see ever? "
Esme shivered slightly after hearing out his mournful words and kept her lips shut tightly. Sighing deeply, she murmured softly,
" Please don't talk too much now. You are injured. "
Aaron mumbled softly clutching her cold palm that were placed on her lap,
" See.. You always ignore my words."
I don't! I'm just too afraid to admit you but I have no way out. You will be the another one calling me slut once you find about Ayra. I know, I'm aware of that. That's the reason, I'm scared.. scared of hurting your feelings.
She replied to herself without uttering a word from her tongue and urged the guards to ride faster.
MOONSHINE CASTLE,
Around twenty minutes later, the carriage finally reached at its destination. Jasper, Viviana and other guards quickly approached forward to help them as they all swiftly held Aaron who fell unconscious already after mumbling to Esme.
They started taking him upstairs inside his bedroom as Esme tailed them off closely. Her expression turned more dull and worried as she noticed his movements numb.
In this state of choas, she failed to notice that there wasn't any sign of Queen Mother around. Her only was laid on Aaron as Jasper put him down on the soft bed.
On the flip side, Vanessa had been informed about Aaron's condition thus she rushed inside the room hastily. Her face instantly turned pitiful as she spoke abruptly while attempting to approach near him,
" What happened to the Lord? Goodness, he is bleeding. Let me see him."
As she took a step forward, Esme quickly grabbed her arms from behind. Vanessa gasped in this sudden attack and turned back angrily. Esme glared at her face coldly before commanding sternly,
" Did I give you the permission to take care of him? Stay back and watch from here."
Vanessa's face sank as she gritted her teeth enduring this humiliation silently. Reminding the magical antidote that she had achieved from Zave, she smirked inwardly and vowed that once Zave will ascend the throne, she will pay back everything to Esme with ten folds.
Thus she gave a slight nod before slipping pass to another side. Esme didn't bother about her anymore and walked over to sit beside Aaron.
Observing his pale face that had turned lifeless, she gulped down a bitter feeling that couldn't be stopped anyhow. Soon after, Jasper entered the room with the cheif healer.
Esme instructed the maids to provide him everything that he needed and waited at a corner as the healer examined Aaron's condition.
After scanning his bruises, the healer's expression turned dull and frowned tightly. Esme couldn't hold back her anxiety anymore as she asked impatiently,
" Did she suck his soul power? Why isn't he waking up? It has been an hour."
The healer fell in deep thoughts before responding briefly,
" My Lady, it was god wish that you had reached fast over there. She couldn't able to suck his soul power and only tortured him externally. I assume the he would be fine soon after providing him sufficient human blood. Moreover there is another important task to do for overnight. "
Esme nodded briskly and asked,
" Sure. What do we need to do to cure him fast? "
The healer put out some red herbs that seemed more likely petals. Handing it over to Esme, he instructed lowering his gaze respectively,
" Boil this herbs into water and wipe off his body tonight as much as possible. The scars won't be left in his body. After drinking blood, he should be fine. Call me again if he doesn't recover."
Esme heard each one of his words attentively and nodded with understanding. Jasper led the healer downstairs as she ordered to the maids to boil a bowl of water fast.
As the maids and Jasper left after Esme's order, only Vanessa and Esme left in the room alone.Esme was taking out another clean sets of cloth as Vanessa asked curiously,
" My.. my Lady.. who has dared to hurt Lord brutally? We should find out and punish him soon."
Esme heard her words vaguely and replied while patting the clothes,
" You don't have to worry about that."
Vanessa felt suspicious over her response and asked again curiously,
" How did you manage to save him? "
Esme threw her a cold glare that didn't subside her confidence a bit. Instead she mocked while gazing at Aaron,
" Tsk.. Tsk.. This is the disadvantage of marrying a mortal. If he got married with a vampire, perhaps she could have saved him before he got hurt."
Esme was stunned at her provocative words for a while and turned her head sideway. She glanced at Vanessa coldly before calling out the maids over the door,
" Come inside the room. "
Vanessa was awestruck for a moment before looking behind curiously. The maid entered the room and bowed their heads respectively,
" Any order, My Lady?"
Esme commanded indifferently,
" Send Miss Vanessa to her room. It's too
late. "
Vanessa was astounded as she glared at Esme shockingly. Her jaw was ticking in anger as she heard Esme saying with a smirk,
" That's what a human can do to you.Send her away from here now."
The maids quickly led her outside as she threw Esme one last death glare before retreating from the door.
Esme shook her head sighing helplessly and started pulling off his cloths. After successfully removing all of his clothes, she hesitated on the last layer of his cloth on his lower body.
Her eyes subconsciously laid on his length that sent her shiver in her spine. Even hiding behind the clothes, she could anticipate that it was too big and long. Her cheeks burnt instantly as she blushed profusely.
Cursing herself mentally, she postponed the idea for a while and took up the wet towel that was dived into the water of medicine.
She gently wiped his collarbone following down to his bare chest and started feeling hurt watching his deep scars.
How can Enchantress be so cruel?
After wiping off his upper body, she finally paused again at his lower abdomen biting down her bottom lips. Even though he was unconscious, she still felt ashamed and thought that Aaron would tease her to death when he finds out later.
But the healer firmly asked her to wipe off his whole body !!!
Closing her eyes shut, she exhaled a deep breath to subside her puzzled mind and decided to pay attention on recovering him fast.
Breathing rapidly, she pulled down the black underwear gently as his manhood quickly popped out in front of her vision.
She gulped down watching its full view once again and started shaking.
Clutching the wet clothing tightly, she pressed the towel on it lightly to give it a wipe and then all of sudden, a pair of cold hands grabbed her wrists earning a loud scary scream.
RIVERGREEN VALLEY,
The night was exceptionally quite inside the dense forest. Fickle of moonlight were lightening the forest through the caress of leaves. Over the path of raw leaves, hasty running steps could be heard inside this dense silence.
Ayra was running vigorously without looking back as her vampire aura completely turned on sensing the danger behind. Thus her speed was more faster than usual and ran as fast as possible.
On the other side, Jeremy was following her from back and felt extremely furious and astounded at the same time. Looking her back, he already assumed that it was a little girl who had been peeking on their private conversation.
But the surprising fact was that she was incredibly faster than himself and it made him more aggressive to grab her.
Unfortunately there was tree falling down on the pathway of Ayra when she ran. After reaching near the tree, her feet was smashed against the wooden part as she fell over the wet ground crying out astonishingly.
She laid down groaning in slight pain and sensed the vague present of a man behind her.
Jeremy smirked mischievously and spoke,
"Now where will you run, little girl?"
