scared of him

Amelia's eyes fell on the old, shabby inn that was in front of her. The inn was surrounded by the trees from the back and its front was facing the open area. It looks like they are at the entrance of the forest.

She followed the man inside the inn. The inn was lit up by the lantanas, the chandlers and the candles. The interior was a contrast to the aged exterior, radiating a cosy charm. Softly flickering candles adorned the walls, casting dancing shadows.

An old lady in her sixties approached her "Welcome, my lady" and gave a polite bow to her. Amelia nodded in response. The lady led her towards the corridors, as he was following the lady, her eye found her husband, Adric. She saw him talking to his commander in chief and he looked serious.

She continued to follow her inside the corridor, there were four rooms on the ground floor and five rooms on the first floor. The lady stopped in front of the third room and gestured for her to move inside "This is your room, my lady" and she added, "I will bring your dinner". Then she leaves the room and closes the door behind her.

The room was spacious and cosy; the room was dimly lit with candles but had enough light to see clearly. There was a bed perfect for the two people, and a table at the corner that was surrounded by chairs. Some decorative piece was meticulously decorated in the room.

The door swung open and grabbed her attention, she saw a familiar figure appearing, his husband. She was surprised by his unexpected visit. His eyes searched the room and stopped at his wife, who was standing in the middle of the room and looked a little astonished. He walks towards to approach her. He stood in front of her which didn't allow her to move from her place.

He touched her cheek with his knuckles and creased it gently. A ticking sensation shook her body. Her cheek becomes hot and flushed red. She was astonished by his sudden action. Almost mumbering, she answered, "You looked busy that's why I thought…." She was cut off by him "I was, but not much to forget about my wife" he comes closer to her by blocking the air between them. She took a step back from him, the lack of air between them made it hard for her to breathe. Adric took another step towards her snaked her arm around her waist and stopped her from further moving back. "Are you scared of me, wife?" he asked softly while tugging her hair strands behind her ear. She didn't flinch but his every movement made her blush hard. He looks gorgeous in the dim golden light of the candles. His hair was no more combed that was in the day it looked more beautiful than before.

When she didn't answer him, he pulled her closer towards him put his face near her ear and asked her again "Tell me, wife, are you scared of me?" his warm breath touched the sensitive part of her ear. She can feel her whole body was electrified by his touch. This was a new sensation; it was both blissful and miserable. He plants a kiss near her ear lobe and then one after another small kiss down to her neck. It felt so nice that she closed her eyes in ecstasy. She clings her gown tightly.

"Prince" she called him while moaning. "Hmmm" came from his mouth while he continued trailing soft kisses on her neck.

A knock on the door, made him stop. He lifted his head and looked at the door in annoyance. He almost yells "What" while frowning. "Prince it's urgent" a manly voice answered from the outside. Adric was still holding her "Better it has to be urgent" a threat can easily be noticed in his voice.

He leans towards her ear and whispers "We will continue this later, wife" with a mischievous smile. He loosens his hold around her waist and lets her free. He walks towards the door and soon disappears. But she stood there frozen for a couple of seconds then she sat on the bed because her leg suddenly felt weak and made it hard for her to stand. She touched her cheek it was still hot.

The old lady knocks on the door "My lady, your dinner" but she is too busy in her thoughts to answer her, when she doesn't answer, the lady opens the door and enters the room. The sound of the opening of the door pulls her out of her thoughts.

Her stomach started to grumble after smelling the delicious food, she ate her dinner and lay on the bed. She tried to fall asleep but her mind was too busy to think about the Adric. She repeats that scene again and again in her mind which makes her hard to fall asleep. Her body again felt hot all of a sudden so she stood before the window.

The cool breeze creates a cooling sensation on her burning skin. It was a moonlight night that made it easier to see everything. The back of the inn was surrounded by a dense forest. As she was enjoying the view, suddenly she heard the screams of people, she saw some people coming out of the forest wearing all black from head to toe. They started attacking the guards who were protecting the entrance of the inn.

She saw they were attacking and killing each other. The blood was pouring like water.

A scream leaves her mouth and she covers her mouth with her hands. She moves back from the window.

The door opened with a great force that startled her and when she saw a familiar figure, she felt a little relief.
