She was deceiving him once more. This was her desire, which she could no longer deny. She desired him, and he was ultimately providing her with precisely what her body craved. She ought to be satisfied with him. He was unable to achieve an erection for Vera, despite her oral stimulation. However, with Molly, his arousal intensified, pressing against her eagerly.
She averted her gaze as his lips approached hers.
“Kindly release me,” she murmured. She uttered the identical words from the previous night; however, this time he was determined not to release her so readily.
He situated himself between her legs while exerting pressure on her body; she resisted him.
What was the reason for her obstinacy?
“You are causing her pain,” Zayden contended. “Relax.”
Jayce exhaled in exasperation and adjusted his position to liberate her arms, allowing her to breathe more easily. If he enhanced her comfort, she might feel improved.
He disengaged from her limbs and maintained his weight on her torso to prevent her from moving.
“I am permitting you to succumb to your desires,” he stated to her. Her eyes widened at his statement; soon thereafter, he experienced pain radiating through him as her knee struck directly into his groin.
He turned onto his bed in agony, clutching the area where she had kneed him as she sprang to her feet. Her body trembled, and her maid’s uniform was on the verge of disintegrating around her. “What on earth?!” he exclaimed as he attempted to comprehend the recent occurrence.
“I apologise, your majesty. However, you refused to listen,” she stated, her voice trembling as tears welled in her eyes.
“You desired this!” he asserted vehemently; the pain was diminishing, allowing him to sit upright.
“No,” she informed him. “I never desired this.”
He gazed at her face for an extended period.
Was she earnest?
Zayden admonished, “I instructed you not to intimidate her.”
“I apologise if you held a different belief,” she remarked after a brief period of silence between them.
He was mistaken. She rejected him. This was illogical. She was undoubtedly his mate. What was the reason for her disinterest in him? He felt a twinge of pain as she tried to shield her exposed body from his gaze.
Had he exceeded acceptable limits?
Tears cascaded down her flushed cheeks as she sniffled, using her trembling fingers to wipe her face.
He advanced towards her, and she immediately flinched.
“Please do not touch me,” she stated, her voice imbued with a firmness that compelled him to halt immediately.
“Very well,” he remarked, raising his hands in surrender. “I shall not make physical contact with you.”
“Do you promise?” she enquired, biting her lower lip. She was chewing it with sufficient force to cause bleeding. He winced at the image, yet he nodded once.
“I shall not make contact with you,” he reiterated.
“May I return to Lady Vera?” she enquired.
“Do not permit our companion to depart. We require her,” Zayden implored.
Jayce concurred that they should prevent Molly from departing, albeit for reasons distinct from those of Zayden. Lady Vera was unable to ascertain this information. He required Molly to compose herself for the evening prior to her return to her mistress.
“You will remain here for the night,” Jayce replied. He indicated the couch. “Remain seated throughout the night.”
She inhaled unsteadily and nodded slowly before approaching the couch and sitting down with difficulty. She gazed at her lap for an extended period; she appeared completely fatigued. He experienced a wave of irritation at her apparent drowsiness.
“Our companion ought to be resting,” Zayden stated. “It is detrimental for her to remain awake for such an extended period. We are both aware that Vera scarcely permits her to rest.”
He looked back at Molly and observed that her eyes were closed; her body was inclined towards the pillow, and she appeared on the verge of collapsing onto the couch and succumbing to sleep. He shook his head in dismay, contemplating hurling an object at her to rouse her from slumber.
He seized a pillow from his bed to throw it, but upon hearing her gentle snoring, he realised she had fully succumbed to sleep.
He exhaled deeply and relinquished the pillow.
