6. Feel

Dominick makes sure that she’s pleased but she’s not responding. She seemed to be frozen or like a dead one. He had done sorts of kisses and touched her on sensitive parts. But he hated that her body wasn’t responding at all. 

Her half-naked body in front of him was alluring, her scent was enticing, but she was like a corpse. What’s happening to his mate? She was staring at the ceiling the whole time and as he reached her face and moved over her, he frowned upon seeing something bizarre in her eyes. 

Her eyes looked dead. Something so lifeless. 

“Bella,” he whispered. He lowered his lips to her forehead. “I’m sorry that I did this. I can’t help myself. So stop resisting.” 

Her lifeless eyes bore into his. He shoved his face to her neck as he inhaled that scent. He’s been trying hard to remember what kind of set it was. 

“Bella,” he grumbled as Bella’s eyelids slowly closed. She gasped as she felt those surges of messy things in her body. His fingers gently rubbed her down there and she bit her lips. “You are mine… Bella.” 

Her faint whimper was already music in his ears and he made sure that both of them were satisfied. 

“Bella, my baby girl.” He whispered and her eyes slowly closed. She falls into a deep sleep and he is puzzled at how fast she sleeps. But seeing how beautiful she was made him wonder if he deserved her. 

He covered her and kissed her temple as he put his pants on and he rang the maids. He then closed the curtains as he pulled out a drawer to check his phone.  

Recent news in the Northern Kingdom of Westeros. It was all about Grand Duke Ceil’s face. A knock on the door interrupted him as he let them and. 

The maids and butlers bow as they quickly clean up the mess. He took out a cigarette from the drawer and a lighter as he headed to the balcony to breathe. 

He gathered his thoughts as he glanced at the bed. His mate is with him. He thought that things would go smoothly but there’s something about her that he can’t point out. Something strange might have happened to her.

She can’t recognize him. Her eyes looked soulless. Her deep blue eyes were beautiful but somehow, someone took the light from it. 

He stared at the orange round moon as he tossed his cigarette that was half burnt. He closed the balcony door as he stripped off and headed back to bed. 

He gently got into the covers scooped her into his arms and smelled her scent. She snuggled to him, seeking warmth and he willingly gave it to her. 

“You are mine.” He whispered.

Paxton went through all of Bella’s documents. He couldn’t sleep all night because of how fast Dominick took the girl. She’s someone frail. She looked frail. Her body looks fit as well. He was curious about her. The way she looked at him, she kept her eyes down. 

“Something is wrong.” He said as he went through his office, to re-read something that he had read. He could feel it in his gut that there was indeed weird about Dominick’s made. And whatever it was, he planned to fix it before it got worse. 

“Paxton,” He didn’t hear opening the door as he peered down from the parapet of his library. 

“Yes, sir?” 

“Something is wrong with my mate.” 

Paxton knew it! He jumped off from the second floor as he approached Dominick who headed to the table. 

“How can someone’s eyes be soulless? Tell me?” 

He frowned. It wasn’t what he expected. 

“She can’t recognize me as well.” He started pacing as Paxton furrowed his brows. 

“Didn’t you say that all you wanted was heirs? You don’t care about your mate?” 

“Paxton, if my mate wouldn’t participate, I only care about heirs.” He said. 

“I am still searching for your mate. We need background. You are the King of this Country and your safety is a must.” 

“My little mate can’t kill.” He said as he scoffed. “Now, get her gowns for the upcoming ball. Make sure that her dress was different among the maids.” 

“So you did bed her.” 

“She wasn’t that easy to get, Paxton.” He said. “I’ll check on her and you call someone to get her fine clothes.” He winked. “And please add underwear. I think I ripped one last night.”

She’s scrubbing and spraying and one thing catches her eyes. The diamond chandelier. It would be amazing for her to pray to die under it. The edges were sharp and the diamonds and crystals were sharp as well. 

She looked up while staring at the chandelier. She could lose the screws if the King wasn’t around. But he will surely come back to harass her again. And when the door opens and the sound of his footsteps, she knows that it is time. 

“Bella,” He called. 

“Let’s have a bath together.” 

“Sorry, sir. But I already had a bath before working.” She said as she gathered up his laundry. When she left the bathroom, he was already there half naked. 

She stared at the scar on his chest near to where his heart was located. She bowed her head and went to the door. 

“You forgot these?” He lifted his dirty shirt. 

She approached him to take it and then he removed his pants. 

“I have more clothes to be washed, Bella.” He said. “Put it down and help me with the bath.” 

She put it down and she headed to the bathroom to prepare the bathtub. She already hates her job but this costs a lot of gold. She rinsed the bathtub first and filled it up with essential oils. 

She didn’t want to look but the King was already naked behind her. She didn’t turn around since he seemed to be waiting.

“You know, darling. If you keep ignoring me like that, my other man won’t be happy at all.” He reached her waist as he smelled her hair. “You are so beautiful, Bella. Your name suits you well.” She was so petite in his arms as he placed his chin over her shoulder. “I want you naked around me in this bathroom, my Bella.” 

“I am currently working, Your Majesty.” She tried hard not to smirk but since the King was so into her, she could play it a little hard. She doesn't want to be paralyzed or to be a dumb statue around him. She will play her cards now. 

His hands were already in her front as he ripped it off. She gasped as buttons flew. Then, he turned her around to see her beauty. Milky skin… and those glorious curves. 

She just realized that the light in the bathroom was bright, that he noticed a few scars and the main scar was on her chest where he had the same one. 

“Say it, baby. You want it.” 

“I’m busy, please…” She timidly covered her chest as she tried to patch up her top. He tore it off. 

“Oops.” 

Her eyes widened as he grinned.
