"Ready For Punishment?"

And as an outcome of a shock all the lemonade came out of her mouth like a splash.
And she started to cough badly.

Luckily he was sitting a little faraway so it didn't splashed on him. Although he turned his face to the side when she did that.
"What" she finally spoke when her coughing stopped.
"What? What!" He arched his thick brows as he asked.
"Was he serious or joking this time too" she thought as she searched for any joking sign on his face.
"I'm not joking" he replied to clear her doubts as if he read her mind and Emilia's jaw almost fell to the floor like what this crazy man was even saying.
"Why would we do that" came another weird question from her for him and he knew how to answer it perfectly.
He smiled at her but mischievously and eyed her up down only to make her more nervous than she already was.
His gaze stopped at her angelic face. Beautiful is too much of an understatement when used in describing her beauty, he thought.
"We would do that to get happiness and...much more compulsory things" he explained meaningfully, grinning.
"I can't"
"What do you mean you can't!" Was it his voice or loud sound of thunder which echoed through the whole room causing every hair on her body to stand up, straight. He surely did mind her words.
She swallowed hard.
"I- I mean, I am not r- ready yet! She stammered.
"It's okay. Take your time but I'm not giving you much of that! Because in the end, you are gonna be mine! You won't have any other choice but to marry me, only" he declared in his deep calm voice. The wave of anger which rippled the water of his calm oceans was gone now!

"Humph, choice, my foot! About that we'll see Mr Rayven Freaking Casper" she just stared at him without answering.
He got up from the couch putting his hand on his well built thighs.
"Be down in 20 minutes for breakfast after washing up" he spoke and turned to go. But then he stopped again near the door and turned towards her.
"How about... I help you to wash up? With a smirk he continued, teasing her wanting to see how she would react.
Hearing upon this, all the blood in her body rushed to her face.
He would never be bored of her and her reactions.
"Hm, so what do you say? He questioned continuously teasing her.
"Yah, No" she angrily threw a cushion at him but he was fast enough to dodge that.
"Hey, calm down. That was just a kind offer. It's okay if you're refusing! I'm leaving. Don't make me wait much" lastly he winked at her and exited the room, leaving her red with embarrassment.
Mumbling things about him, she got up from the bed and rushed to the washroom.
After doing her morning routine and dressing up into a crop top and loose sacks, she made her way towards the dining room.
---
As she reached there. She noticed that the table was filled more than usual with colorful and tempting looking food.
"I- Is there anything special??? She hesitantly asked him who was sitting in his king size chair like a bored handsome devil.
"No" he simply replied as softness took place in his eyes instead of coldness.
"So, why this much food" she was amused by the variety of food.
"I just made this all for you" he spoke and she gave him an unbelievable look.
"For m- me!"
"Hm hm" he nodded.
"Really! Somehow she felt touched. Because it was the first time that someone surprised her like this in her entire life.
"Hmm! Shall we now! His smile grew when he noticed happiness written all over her face.
"Sure" she joined him.
While doing breakfast she felt a ting in her mind which caused her eyes to widen.
"What the actual Fuck!" She had just remembered that yesterday she missed her one and only golden chance to escape.
She was in deep sorrow. But what to regret now when she acted compulsively yesterday.
"Emilia, there's no big idiot and stupid than you in this world! You freaking missed the precious chance of your freedom! "DAMN YOU!" She cursed and scolded herself internally.
"What are you thinking?! He asked when he noticed her lost.
"I missed my chanc- her tongue slipped and she instantly covered her mouth with both hands in horror.
"Chance? What chance" his expressions changed to wear a dark shade as he asked.
"C- chance to enjoy yesterday. You told me I got drunk" Emilia instantly used her sharp tongue to tackle the situation while holding her breath.
Next moment the muscles of his face relax upon hearing this and then she let her breath out.
"Even though you were drunk last night. You had much more fun than anyone else there" he taunted teasingly.
"I had fun?" She looked at him with a questioned face.
"Yeah, last night someone danced like a crazy litte monkey and from time to time they were turning into airplanes too" Rayven indirectly said as he put a hand over his lips to hide his playful grin.
As he informed a hundreds of memories of last night hit through her mind. She froze at her place because of the utter embarrassment.
"I- I did all that?! Emilia exclaimed. Her face is so red obviously.
"Why are you so flustered? What's done is done! He tilted his head in her way and smiled at her. That oh- so devastatingly gorgeous more that froze her mind more.
"But little one. Are you a puppy or what?! You bit me last night, remember!" He asked with his never ending smirk.
"I did? She asked, pointing towards herself with her eyes widened.
"Mm hm" he nodded.
"I- I'm sorry". Ashamed, she looked down like a guilty criminal who was waiting for the judge to announce her punishment.
Next thing she heard was a roaring throaty chuckle echoing in the dining room.
"Oh my little naïve Emilia! It's okay as long as you do it with no dangerous intentions.
"But- his voice filled with coldness again as he spoke.
"Who's ready for punishment now? Yes, a devilish grin was there as she looked up to face him.
