Chapter9 Compensate me with your body

Meanwhile, immediately Thane entered, Tracy became awestruck. She had seen Thane once, but that was a long time. In fact she fell in love with Thane at first site though the guy didn't talk or bat an eye at her. He was still the same.

'My handsome has really maintained his body'. Tracy admired him secretly as she stood near Max at the window. She felt quite nervous having him in the same room though literally, they weren't alone.

Well Tracy was the type who wanted to seize every moment and very stubborn so she made slow steps to approach Thane who stood by the door.

"Hey handsome, it's been a while now. Did you miss me?" Tracy began to talk to Thane immediately she stood by his side.

"..."

"Did you come here to see me? Well I know perfectly well you really miss me, right?" She asked grinning like Cheshire cat but she didn't get any response not even a glance. She sighed then studied Thane's profile. She was plotting a perfect move to provoke this god of silence. But that seemed impossible. So she just silently stood by her dreamboat.

Concurrently, Claire had just finished with treating Duncan's wrist. She arranged the kit then closed it and placed it on the table. She stared at the Duncan with a questionable look on her face.

"What?" Duncan asked quite confused.

"I'm done."

"Mmh."

"So leave, or do you want me to drag you out myself."

"But, I'm waiting to be compensated."

"How much money do you want?"

"Haha, are you trying to insult me? I don't need your money. I want something priceless."

"Like what?"...

"Your body." He said causing the room to fall in an abyss of silence. "Compensate me with your body." He added having a devilish smirk on his lips as he looked at Claire who just gaped at him the whole time.

"Are you crazy. How dare you say that?" Max asked out of anger.

"What! It isn't my fault." Duncan answered trying to play innocent. "The goddess just gave me the liberty to ask for any wish and she'll fulfill it."

"And are you expecting a goddess to give her body to you?" Tracy questioned.

"Yes, that's my wish. But I'm a king. So it's no shame for a goddess to offer her body to me. And after all the goddess promised to fulfill my wish. So this is it. My wish."

"How could you be so shameless." Tracy cried.

"Hey that's not my fault too." Duncan rebuked. "And by the way... AAAAAAHHHHHHH!" Duncan screamed since Claire smeared some of the pain reliever ointment just below his nostrils.

"Claire you are so evil." Duncan cried as the sharp scent hit his nostrils. He took some tissues trying to clean the ointment.

"This is a sign that indicates the goddess refused your wish. It's impossible!!!" Claire spat. "And do you know why you are still alive after saying that? It's because I pity you. Look over there. Look how Thane is fuming. He just need a single order and your head will be rolling on the floor." Claire pointed towards Thane who looked just like the god of war.

"And should I be afraid of that?" Duncan sneered. In fact he wasn't a second scared of Thane. "I just want my compensation."

"Dream on!!"

"Okay. But I'm assuring, you'll be the one to throw yourself into my arms. Just wait. Goodbye." Duncan said in a gentle but domineering tone and hugged Claire then left.

"That guy is such a psycho. I knew it for a very long time. And he proved me right today." Tracy complained.

"Okay, okay we should just forget about him right now. He is just kidding." Claire tried to reduce the tension. "And Thane, I think you should go home now. Hm?" Claire asked the guy who had been in the same position ever since he entered the room. He nodded slightly and turned to open the door.

"Guys, I'll be back." Claire referred to Tracy and Max.

"Okay, goodbye handsome! See you later!" Tracy bid but didn't get any response.

Claire walked Thane all the way to the van.

"So I guess this is where I halt." Claire said when she faced Thane.

"I'll come and pick you up tomorrow. Same time." He said in a deep voice.

"Okay." Claire waved and Thane turned to get in the van. When he was about to sit in he turned back to Claire. Claire seeing this pressed her lips in a thin line as she was a bit nervous.

"Take care." He uttered before jumping into the van and leaving. Claire nodded slowly at the retreating van and headed towards the building.

Well though her day was quite interesting, her whole body ached due to the intense exercise Ji-Hoon had made on her body.

Talking about how her body ached, she was just a few doors away from her lounge, probably just right in front of Duncan's door, when someone pulled her into a room. The impact didn't give her the chance to see who it was. She heard the door being closed and locked. The room was dark since the sun has already set and the lights were off. She felt her body being pinned to the wall. The person held onto her tiny waist and kissed her neck.

"I know who you are." She said not even afraid of the incidence. "Duncan... you... tcch... just let me go." She pushed Duncan away.

"How could you know it's me?" He asked in a husky tone.

"Your fragrance. Like moist earth." she said raising a brow. She could see Duncan's smile of satisfaction in the dark. Duncan reached to switch on the light. After the lights were on, he stood before Claire with his eyes filled with desire and lust.

"You even know my scent. Isn't that an evidence which clearly shows you are into me?" Duncan said.

"What?! Don't get me wrong okay... So why do you bring me here?"

"Let's have a drink." Duncan said and made way to the mini bar.

He took a Jack Daniel's Tennessee whiskey. He poured two glasses and gave one to Claire then took her hand heading for the black luxurious arm chair. He sat on it and guided Claire to sit in his lap.

"Hey, there's a sofa there. I can sit on it." Claire said sarcastically.

"No, I want you to sit in my lap. Can't we be for once, intimate?" Duncan asked quite worried.

"Whatever." Claire rolled her eyes but yet agreed to just sit in his lap. "Aren't you scared your girlfriend can come in at anytime and see us like this?"

"Don't worry. I set her free."

"You mean?"

"I dump her. You are aware I can't keep a girl for more than a month. Same as you. You can't also date a guy more than a month or two."

"So? Why do you drag me into your room?"

"I need you to do something for me."

"What?" Claire arched a brow wondering what task Duncan has got for her.

Duncan held Claire's arm and made her stand up. He got up from the black chair and took his bag. He unzipped and removed a sheet of paper from it. Or maybe sheets of papers stapled together. He came back to the arm chair and sat in it like a king slamming the sheet on the dark glassy table.

"Here. Pick it up and go through after that you sign it."

"Huh!" Claire exclaimed in confusion but Duncan just threw his eyes on the booklet on the table signalling Claire to take it.

Claire slowly picked it up then looked at Duncan before opening it. Her eyes widened in horror just by reading the heading. She threw her head towards Duncan who enjoyed his whiskey.

"Are you serious? Do you expect me to agree to this contract. A master-servant contract."

"Yeah?"

"Wh-what do you take me for? Listen very carefully Mr. man, I'm not signing this piece of shit. Got it." Claire's rejection made Duncan chuckle darkly.

"For now let's do a little throwback. You remember I once told you I dreamt of you being my servant."

"Don't bring that thing on right now." Claire warned holding her hand out.

"Seems you really remember, so no need digging for the past. Let's go straight to business. I get everything I want-"

"And do I care?!"

"Chuckle... Yes, you've got to. Because I'll be your owner."

"What! No one owns Claire Klein."

"But Duncan does... Sigh... Just sign the thing and get this over with."

"Dream on!" Claire threw the papers on the table and started for the door. Just as she was ready to walk out...

"I'll wait for you. I know you'll come pleading for the contract. I'll just wait." Duncan smirked.

"Whatever!" Claire shut the door close leaving Duncan.

A dark smirk crawled to Duncan's face as he watched the closed door. He'll finally get her and he'll make sure she never slips away.

***

Claire sighed as she plopped her weight into the sofa staring blankly at the ceiling.

"Girl, you look really tired." Tracy worriedly said.

"Yeah you're right."

"Is it because of your taekwondo classes?" Max asked.

"What else guys." Claire answered retarded. "I don't think I'll last a weak. The tutor is so hard on me. My lower is really sore. He went too far." Claire continued to nag.

Tracy and Max had a confused look on. They thought about something else. And as soon as the realization dawned on them, they both gasp. Tracy knelt beside Claire and touched her arm with a worried look.

"Why did you allow him to do it when you know you might get hurt?" Tracy asked.

"I had no other option."

"So was he really bold to drag you to a secluded area?" Max asked.

"No, he tortured me right in front of the whole class. He asked two boys to spread my legs apart and that was it." Claire cried.

"This is something really unacceptable Claire." Max roared. "Your parents must hear about it. This teacher has really got some nerve to molest you and that too in public." He added. Claire immediately sat squinting at him.

"Did you just say he molested me?" Claire asked.

"Yeah that's what actually you said. You complained your lower is sore." Max answered.

"And even he ordered two boys to spread your legs apart." Tracy added causing Claire's eyes to round in shock.

"No, no, no, guys. You got me wrong. That's not what I meant actually. Ji-Hoon spread my legs to relax my pelvics." Claire explained. After hearing the explanation, Max and Tracy had this awkward smile on their faces which kinda made them look funny.

"Well we thought otherwise. Haha." Tracy laughed in embarrassment as Max also backed her up. Claire just rolled her eyes and laid on the sofa feeling exhausted.
