Chapter 7. Flying

Emma knew this was once in a lifetime opportunity, she could notice the trembling hands of the stunning red-haired woman standing before them. It was easy to notice what kind of feelings could raise such anxiety in any woman.

'This could be useful' Emma thought with a mischievous smile covered by the veil. She will make the damn man let her go if she played well her hand.

"Miss, I am new to this place, can you take me on a tour? My name is Emma Monde," Emma asked with a gentle voice. She wanted the woman to say yes and then when her emotions emerged into a fit of jealousy, Emma could use that to break the spell on her ankle. As only a powerful attack would help her break it. "Miss?"

When the voice of Emma traveled to Gia's ears, she could not help but look at her, again in surprise. She was bewildered by how melodious the woman's voice was. It sounded so gentle like a song luring to commit a sin.

"I… of course," Gia began to say in the smoothest voice she could make. She tried to show her soft and delicate side in front of the Duke. Even her beautiful green eyes were blinking with a tender gaze.

The sight was marvelous, Emma couldn't help but admire her lovely but at the same time vigorous charm.

Not many in Luriem were avid to do extensive training. They feared ruining their beautiful figures with rash muscles and overly fitted body structures. The vanity had eaten any sense of physical improvement. Though they didn't need it when their magic was what made them powerful, not some brutish strength as they called it.

However, the red-haired woman before Emma was exquisite in her tight and alluring red dress, fitting perfectly her body showing her spectacular curves, and trained body.

Emma was impressed and a bit jealous. She can see that the woman had her share of seeing the world by looking at how vigorous her aura was. She must have traveled and battled several warriors.

"Excellent! Then I shall follow you," Emma was excited, now she wanted to know more about the beautiful girl before her.

She patted the man's arms to hint him to put her on the ground. "Husband, can you put me down?"

Liam, on the other hand, only looked at the weak woman in his arms with a raised brow. He even left out a little chuckle.

"Brother Liam?" Gia tried calling him as she could see that the man was not making any move.

However, he only had eyes for woman in his arms.

He knew she was soft and fragile, with almost no muscles in her slender arms but even so, her alluring and delicate body enticed him.

He was a dragon and his senses were increased by hundreds, so the fragrant smell emanating from her body was giving him a hard time controlling his heat. Furthermore, he wanted so much to continue what they were doing in the carriage, but the little woman couldn't wait to escape his hands.

How can she think about escaping, when the delicate aroma could attract all kinds of predators, and this land was filled with them. She would not survive a day without him covering her sweet scent.

Not knowing, fear began growing inside his mind. 'What if others can smell her too? What if they lose control and dare to touch her?'

"No."

"No, what?" She was confused by his response.

"You are not allowed to mingle with anyone in this land."

"What?!" She hadn't expected that. 'Will he make her a prisoner in this Kingdom?'

"Do you think you are a dragon?" He was trying to say that it could be dangerous when she was so weak, but the woman took it as a different meaning.

"Are you saying I am not as worthy as you all?!" She snapped back and started hitting him again, "Put me down!"

"No."

"You!" She had it, and was about to take off her veil when he gripped her harder to his chest, and without minding her little noises, he walked towards the entrance of the Dukedom.

The walls surrounding the inner circle were decorated with flowers symbolizing the auspicious event. Even the servants were already waiting by the gates in an orderly manner to congratulate their master. However, the man didn't go through them, instead, he made a powerful jump to land on the top of the tall walls, and continued jumping. He could have just fly slowly but he was having his fun watching the frightened face of the woman in his arms.

"Ahh!"

Emma had her hands gripped on the man's neck tightly, pasting her body completely to his chest. Even her legs were now strangling him from the fear of falling.

Liam was surprised by her reaction and found it very funny and cute. 'So, the little fierce woman knows how to feel fear?'

He wanted to tease her more and fly for more minutes, but he could feel her anxiety growing up and decided to stop. They arrived at the tallest residence of the Estate. It was the one dedicated only to the master of the Dukedom. A beautiful quarter at the top of a tower that could only be reached by flying.

The servants who were not dragons or with poor skill had to use the magic elevator on the ground; however, it was left usually unused as only the most experienced and trustworthy employees could enter the private chambers of the Master.

"You can let go now, darling."

Emma was still tightly attached to his body, her eyes closed and her mind was praying for everything to be over soon. She shook her head thinking he would let her fall.

He smirked and decided to take advantage of her proximity. "Are you sure?"

She nodded. However, when she felt his naughty hands lowering her dress again, she forgot any fear from a second ago, and only anger could be seen in her cute little face. "You perverted beast!"
