I closed the door after she left.
I stood up and went over to the window. Breathed the fresh air.
I had not had the chance to admire the beautiful hills that could be seen from here. It sent a strange tide of nostalgia.
I had grown up despising the mortal world. I despised everything about human beings. Their entire race. Their world seemed like a vincible ball of glass. Ready to scatter at any given moment.
But I was wrong. I could never admit that in front of others but to myself , I definitely could. It was beautiful. Not in an aesthetic way like my kingdom. But beautiful in its fragility.
I opened the clothes she had put over me. It was giving me a sense of restrain. I stood there in my nothingness, as the breeze blew tenderly over my bare body.
It seemed like I would have to stay here for awhile. At least till I fully recovered. I could not risk anybody knowing about this misery.
I already had enough humiliation up my sleeves.
I swore to my ancestors, the moment I get hold of the ones behind these mess, I would not kill them. I would rip them off. Limb by limb. Tear each dragon scale off their skin and burn those infront of them. I would skin them nice and slow. Till they begged for death. But death would only be an escape for them. I would bring all their families in front of them in that state. Make them cry and weep. Cry and weep all they are able to before I draw each of their cores out and destroy them for eternity. There will be no peace. No life after death for these wretched beings.
That felt so satisfying. Just the thought. I bet it would be more calming when I actually would do it.
I held the edge of the window as I leaned on it. My body half dangling out from the window.
" Draco, I am sorry for Damian's behavior. He seems to........... DRACO! What on earth are you doing?
This is my home. There are normal people living around here.
YOU CAN'T GO OUTSIDE NAKE LIKE THIS. "
She crosses her hands over her chest. Much like the Salute of Gratitude, that we give to our Dragon Generals. But her gesture was definitely not of gratitude. It was a negative affirmation. A resonance of the warning she just gave.
I pulled back inside.
" What happens if I go outside like this? "
I asked. Strangely, it didn't at all feel weird to be naked around her. Her reaction to seeing me naked was the most unique one that I had ever got from any girl.
She did stare me down there. But she quickly glanced back at my face.
There was a frown between her eyebrows and hands over her hips.
" What happens? What happens if you do this in your Dragon world? "
She took several steps towards me.
" I honestly have no idea. I have never tried this outside my harem. "
I took a few steps towards her this time.
That made her immediately stop on her track.
" Aren't you curious to know what happens when I do this inside the harem? "
My eyes were searching for something in her's. Something. Some kind of submission. Want. Or perhaps attraction. I didn't quite know it myself.
" No! "
That was it. That was all she said.
" But I will tell you what happens if you do so here. The police comes and immediately takes you in their custody! "
Her eyes looked sharp. And there was something else. I could not read it properly. Was she angry?
" What's a police? Are they stronger than Dragons? "
Curiosity got the better of me. I should have acted offended but I wanted to know more about this being called a ' police '.
She blinked.
No answers.
More blinks.
I saw the drastic shift of her expression. Every movement of her facial features, eyes, lips and mouth.
She burst out into a laughter.
Her body shock in jolts of vibrations as tears welled up in her eyes from laughing.
That infuriated me.
" What's so funny? "
I walked upto her, pinning her with force against the wall.
It had skipped my mind that I was naked.
The moment my body touched her skin, I felt a severe convulsion down below. The muscles around my pelvis started to tighten to a weird rhythm. Before I could do anything about that, I could feel a bulge pressing again her.
She too seemed to have noticed. Her moments indicated that. She twitched to get away from my grip.
That was embarrassing.
That aught to have angered me further.
But her wiggles rubbed against my hard.
I gulped. She definitely noticed the movement of my Adam's apple. It awakened another sort of a want in me.
The urge to pull her off the walls and throw her down on her knees.
It made me want to be violent with her. Handle her rough. Flip and turn her body over and over. Make her beg for mercy.
My desires must have showed on my eyes. One glance at them and she managed to pushed me aside.
Or may be I let her go.
Let her go because I still needed her.
I could not risk her non-cooperation.
I quickly turned around, looking for the clothes that I had discarded.
" I didn't mean it that way! "
That was my faint try at apologising as I slipped the clothes back on.
She didn't say a word.
She just nodded.
" But Liana. "
she turned to face me.
" you didn't tell me what a ' police' is?
Is it a taboo to speak about it?
Or is it too well known a fact? Like parables and fables?
What did you laugh at my question?
You can tell me.
I swear I will check my temper around you from now on.
You don't need to be afraid. "
She did not respond.
But I was sure as hell that she was still a bit scared. I could clearly see her fighting the laughter building up inside her again at my repetition of the question.
