Predatory Marriage (Web Novel)

omething.

Though he got more questions he wished to be answered, he did not press her any further. On the other hand, his silence made Leah thoroughly flustered, her heart racing madly against her chest. She knew that at this moment, her face resembled a fat tomato.

In embarrassment, she was forced to lower her eyes. Perhaps, the man was looking for some entertainment tonight which in the current circumstances, was granted. She, who assumed that he was a prostitute, must have piqued his interest. His body language told her he didnt have the heart to let her go any time soon.

Silently, Leah finally decided on her next course of action. She would never see him again, anyway. If this is one of the prices for ruining the royal familys purity, then the means she had to do must no longer matter.

With trembling hands, she clutched the edge of her skirt. From the start, she was determined to do this even if she knew that she could die. Hence, at this point, there was no reason for her to be scared.

As she slowly looked up and caught his searing gaze, she noticed that his golden pupils slightly thinned and her jaw instantly fell. To witness this peculiarity in this proximity was awe-striking.

Deeply enthralled, she lost track of the seconds that ticked by, but a deep, throaty chuckle brought her back to her senses.

Leah then pushed the mans chest inaudibly, trying to make room between them. However, the strength of her frail arms was feeble—the man was hardly moved. Instead, his smirk grew as he watched her struggle.

He is sure enjoying this, she glared at him.

“Dont act presumptuously. I was only looking for someone to pay and have s*x with.” She spat out with irritation evident in her voice. In his eyes, she was no modest woman so why would she act like one?

The man only laughed hoarsely at her bluntness. He asked back with great amusement. “So, should I call you master?”

This man sure is cocky. She gritted her teeth and untied the knot of her dress with trembling hands.  She just wanted this to be over. While she tried to remove her clothes, the man whispered in her ears, making her fumbling hands freeze.

“I should be the one to do that.”

Before she could protest, large hands lifted her body effortlessly. The man handled her as if she was only a mere child!

Cradled in his arms, she looked at him, brimming in embarrassment.

“Are you scared?” asked him.

Her answer wasnt heard because as soon as he said so, he tossed her to the bed and climbed sleekly on top of her. The bed creaking underneath his weight.  His slender fingers grabbed Leahs chin and thumb rubbed her plumped lower lip.

“Why did you dare come to this place?”

The voice that resonated in her ears sent small shudders to her body. Yet, his intimidation could not shatter her resolve in keeping the reason of her visit and therefore, her identity, to herself.

“Just do what I told you to do.” She raised one brow and feigned courage. “Dont worry. I promise to pay you.”

Hearing this, the man whispered in a gentle voice; his eyes shone with mischief. “Open your legs.”
