Chapter 422: A Slave For Her
Dani felt confused whenever Abel would get affectionate with her. Currently, they were outside near the barn while sitting on a bench watching her father tame the new wild stallion he bought. All the while, Abel was doing his best to be close to her. She understood that what he was doing was to make her parents feel more at ease. But somehow, his actions were giving her foreign sensations that she wasn’t aware of. Like right now when he casually pulled her closer to him, urging her to rest her head on his chest while he wrapped his arm securely around her shoulders... It was... weird, was all she could say to describe it.
"Is this even necessary?" she complained, masking the quick beat of her heart with a scowl. Their father wasn’t even paying attention to them at the moment, but Abel kept holding and kissing her hand. And now he was hugging her possessively in public.
"Aren’t you cold?" he whispered in her ear.
"I’m dressed warmly," she snorted, pointing to the fur coat she was currently wearing.
"But I’m cold, and your warmth feels nice," he reasoned back.
Dani grumbled as she felt him kissing her head. She didn’t know whether she should move away or not, yet deep inside, she felt comfortable around him for some reason. For her, it was a nice feeling to be around him, so she chose to keep quiet as she continued watching her father struggling to tame a wild stallion.
"I think he will need my help," Abel muttered.
"What? Are you going to hypnotize the stallion?" she snorted. "Will you let it become wild again after you’re gone? It’s father’s stallion, so let him tame it."
"Alright. Anyway, your mother is going to arrive with snacks again," Abel chuckled. "I feel like I can no longer eat more food. It’s been a while since I ate a lot of human food like this, and my stomach has been hard at work ever since I got here."
