CHAPTER 6


HAVEN'S POINT OF VIEW


My eyes narrowed at the man who's in front of me. Now, he was closer. So so much closer causing me to enhale all of his manly scent. Now I know why his scent sent tingles in my body. He is not just a stranger to me. He is more than that! And my body knows him! That's certain!


"W—Who are you...?" I whispered as I continue to stare at him, slowly assessing him. He's muscular, I can almost see his veins popping out of his button down shirt. Its sleeves were rolled up to his elbow. The tattoos were very evident on it. It was beautiful to look at, but I didn't know what does it mean. His hair is quite messy too, but just like his tattoos, that didn't made him look dirty. It even made him ten times hotter!


My eyes widened a bit. Fvck! I can't deny that now. He is really handsome but I will never tell him that!


He smiled at me softly. Softly! I bit my lower lip. He looks at me gently and his voice is a lot softer when he speak to me compared to how he spoke to the man named Zero earlier and to Delta Ryan.


Why is he being gentler now?


"Let's go to your room first. I'll introduce myself after you eat your meal. I know you're hungry, love. You've been asleep for days." He said as he slowly let go of me from his embrace. I sighed and slightly pouted. I don't know why I suddenly felt disappointed after he unlocked his embrace on me. I suddenly felt cold and alone which I shouldn't ve feeling in the first place!


He's a stranger! Definitely a stranger for sure. But why am I feeling so...attracted to him? His scent... Oh God!



"Let's go. I already mind linked one of the chef's in the mansion to cook you a good and healthy meal. You have to eat first, hmm?" He said as he held my hand, gently dragging me towards the staircase.


I sighed and closed my eyes for a brief moment.


We're going upstairs again. It's so exhausting already! And my back is still slightly hurting! He said that I've slept for days. I must be so tired and drained for me to be able to sleep for that long. No wonder why my body was kinda stiff and sore when I woke up.


But seriously, though? Isn't three straight days of sleeping too long for a rest? Was I that exhausted? Heaven is still sleeping deep inside me. She must've be exhausted than I am.


"I don't want," I was pouting when I said that as I stared at the grand staircase. I can't. My feet will give up any moment now! I am not even kidding.


I tried to pry his hand away from his hold but he won't just budge. Obviously, he's the strongest.


When I heard a deep chuckle which obviously comes from the man who's my second chance mate, I turned to him, slightly glaring.


"Do you want me to carry you?"


I blinked repeatedly, completely shock with his sudden offer. Did he...


"Yes, baby. Your whole expression speaks to me." He said. He let go of my hand he was holding before crouching down, his back facing me. "Hop on, baby. Ride me."


My jaw dropped.


He didn't mean it THAT way, does he?!


I let out a loud deep breath. As much as I don't want to be in contact with him again, like physically, I don't have any other choice but to hop on his back.


I don't want my injury to worsen. I want to recover fully as soon as possible so I can leave this place which this man called a mansion when in fact, it's already a whole palace for me.


I hop on his back silently. His heavy breathing and my breathing was the only thing that's communicating between us. He wasn't talking and I wasn't too. I was still processing everything that happened inside my head and right now, I have so many questions inside my head that are still waiting to be answered.


When we stopped in front of the familiar door, he opened it slowly and then get inside. He silently closed the door with his other foot before he walked towards the beautiful canopy bed.


He put me down silently just beside the bed. I watched him as he turned his back and pick up something on the floor. It was the feathery slippers! Looks like I kinda misplaced and forgot to wear it after changing my clothes.


"Slippers, baby. The floor is cold." He said. He kneeled his one knee on the floor as he helped me put my slippers on.


"I—I can do it..." I stammered, completely shock with the way he serve me like a royalty princess.


He didn't talked and just continue to help me. When he was done, he looked up to me as he slightly raised his perfectly angled thick eyebrows.


"Please, just let me serve you. I want you to get used of it because I will be doing it every damn time, baby. I wanna serve you. You're my Queen afterall." He smiled and I almost lost my breath.


Serve me? He will, really?


My heart warmed. I feel like someone tugged my heart with what he said. I am deeply affected with it and I know that he noticed it. My eyes are now turning cloudy as tears are threatening to fall on my cheeks. I saw panic crossed before his eyes as he stood up quickly and caged my face with his large calloused hands.


I can't help it. I just can't help but to feel extremely touched with his words. He might be a complete stranger to me right now, but I can't deny the fact that he has already touched something inside me. And that's my heart. The moment he showed me his care, gentleness, and kindness, that's also the same moment that I am slowly and slowly building my trust on him.


And I do hope that this time around, I won't have a broken heart in the end for trusting and hoping too much. I hope that he won't break my heart, the same way that Tristan did. Because if this man's going to do the same thing, then I don't know if I'm going to make it...still.



"Cerise Haven, baby, please be always reminded that you're not allowed to cry for any bullshit reasons. You're only allowed to cry in pain and in our bed, while I am deeply buried inside you."


He whispered the last words beside my ears and I swear to the Moon Goddess, my blood pressure all came up to my face.


I'm sure as hell that I am as red as tomatoes right now!


Instead of answering him, I turned away and laid on the bed, my back facing him. I buried my face deeply on the soft mattress of the bed, kicking my feet slightly, completely forgetting the fact that he's eyes were still on me.


I wanted to shout in so much embarassment! Why does he love to tease me?! I think this man suddenly developed a new obsession! And that is to embarass me!


I heard his deep chuckle. The bed moved and I know that he's already beside me. Heat gushed to my face again. The tingles in my body worsen as I felt his hand on my back, caressing it softly.


"I'm not even kidding, baby. I know that you already have an idea about what our real connection is. Eventually, we'll come to that phase soon. Afterall, we are mates. You're mine as much as I'm yours. You're my equal, you're my Queen. And there's no way in hell that I will be letting you go. Not now. Not ever, baby. So do prepare yourself, love. For I will not only bury myself to you. I will mark you mine too."
