Chapter 51: Flower House
"I’m as my papa always said... I cannot be tamed" I mouthed. That was the truth even if I was always pushed to the edge, I always found myself pushing forward rather than backward.
Just like Cora’s words of warning, I was stubborn enough not to heed them, not knowing what would become of me.
His eyes darken and it was exactly as that day when he kissed me, completely black but this time I saw hunger within them, I shivered.
"I will tame you"
The moment he said those words my heart slammed a loud heartbeat, a stroke of desire flashed through me like a wave, straight to my core. I gulped, his dark eyes on me, whatever he meant by taming me made my body shiver in response, I didn’t know what he intended to do but I could see it in his eyes, he was drop-dead serious.
Too bad because I’m not someone that can easily be tamed.
"A wasted effort Lord Cedric," I said facing forward, my grip on the horse leash tightened, his words affected me more than I intended but I was not gonna let him know that.
I tapped the cane I held gently on the body of the horse urging it to move further. Lawrence was finally done with his small talk with Dalton who was still with his wife, so I went to him.
He smiled when he saw me but raised an eyebrow when he turned back slightly.
"Well that is a bit hurting... you have left your husband to ride alone"
I smiled.
