Zara lowered her head in disappointment as Sebastian didn’t answer her.
Why would he though?
He doesn’t love her which is why he stayed silent.
So, this is all just his infatuation or maybe a short term attraction. She read too much from his gestures like a fool.
“See! You don’t love me. Why are you wasting your time on me?”
Even though her heart is shattering into pieces, she managed to speak.
Paula held her shoulder from behind as she sensed her distress but Zara gave her a look of assurance before facing Sebastian who is frowning at her.
He grabbed her chin, making her look into his cold eyes and spoke, rigidly.
“I don’t know about my feelings for you but I am hopeless without you.”
He let out an agonising sigh and continued
“My body only craves you. I know I should not hold onto our past and I tried for two years to forget about you.”
Zara gulped, feeling hurt as she heard about his efforts to erase her from his memory.
She knew he did that out of respecting her decision but still she couldn’t help the growing tension inside her.
“I dated some women but none made me stay and stick to them because…” he paused, his hands cupping her face and said “all I want is you.”
Zara’s lips parted, surprised by his confession and looked into his dark eyes, feeling restless. Please! No. “I want you to hold me in your arms Sunshine.”
She slapped his hands away roughly, her eyes dodging his intense gaze and turned her face, hiding her unease.
“So you want my body.”
She said, feigning disdain and clasped her trembling hands, trying to control her nerves. She shouldn’t fall into his trap.
And what did mean by he wants her? What about her heart? Does he only care about her body?
“Seriously! This is what you understood from my words?”
Sebastian was amazed at her brain functioning because he poured his heart out and confessed what he felt about her but she totally got it in the wrong way.
Of course he wanted to have sex with her but that’s secondary. His priority is to have her in his life.
Zara stood up angrily, fed up by his persistence. He is not listening to her at all.
He dated many girls but none satisfied him so he came back for her. What is she? A sex slave for him.
She is happy that he craves her but she is in no position to enjoy that fact. She didn’t want to live in her envisioned fantasies anymore.
He’s not sure about his feelings and he expect her to accept him and get hurt when he realizes that he isn’t in love with her?
She doesn’t want to get fooled. She’s done with him and should walk away from this toxic entanglement before he swallows her whole. Get faster updates on g.com.
“Yes! This is what you actually meant.”
She said, pointing her finger at him, poking his chest as she uttered each word through her gritted teeth.
“You dated god knows how many girls but none satisfied your physical desires so you want me now. Shame on you.”
Sebastian stood up as soon as she’s done accusing him falsely and covered his face with the cap and mask.
“Very good. You should cover your shameless face because I am going to smack it if you utter a single word about ‘US’ again.”
Zara scoffed, eyeing at him in disgust and turned towards Paula, ready to leave.
Paula and Simon looked at Zara as if she is a warrior princess because from the moment they came in, this is the first time she scolded Sebastian in a very rude manner.
Just as Zara took a step to leave, someone grabbed her hand and she was dragged towards the door in the next second, catching her off guard.
Paula tried to get a hold of her but she was already outside of the chamber by the time she got back into her senses.
“Ahh!! What are you doing?”
Zara screamed, trying to remove the hand which is gripping her wrist tight but to no avail.
Sebastian is infuriated by her comments earlier and brought her out to have a private talk with her because he wants to see what’s in her stupid brain.
He halted in his tracks at the door way and looked back at the flabbergasted people inside.
“I am sorry guys but I should talk to her in private. Ms. Adams you can wait here, my friend Simon will entertain you. Excuse me.”
And then they are gone from their sight.
Zara is busy biting his hand, to make him loosen his grip but stopped when she heard Simon’s name.
Simon Reynolds is here?
She lifted her head to see him and wished to greet him but Sebastian pulled her away, walking towards the beach in long strides.
“Let me go beast.”
“If you want everyone here to know about us, you can scream as much as you want.”
Sebastian stopped in his tracks and looked left and right as if he is searching for something when he spotted a waiter coming towards him.
He dragged Zara to the waiter and whispered something in his ear while tipping him discreetly.
Zara gasped for air as she ran to keep up with his pace and stood behind Sebastian silently while he talked to a stranger in a foreign language.
She used the little break to form a good speech which can persuade him to let her go but when she saw a group of men passing by them wink at her with weird looks, she stepped closer to Sebastian, holding his bicep in fear.
Sebastian liked her dependence on him and pulled her closer to his body, smelling her sweet scent which enticed him.
Zara looked at his hard chest and gulped subconsciously, dropping her eyes to the ground, thinking about anything other than his smell and body.
Few minutes ago she chided him and blamed him for thinking about her body and now, she’s checking him out.
The waiter who disappeared after taking the tip from Sebastian returned after two minutes and handed over something to Sebastian.
Zara dropped her jaw seeing the waiter because when did he leave? If she knew they’re alone, she would’ve done something to get rid off the beast’s grip.
Sebastian thanked the waiter and pulled Zara towards the beach, ignoring her protests.
“Where are you taking me? Can’t we talk in the chamber?”
She spoke in hurry as she ran behind him to keep up with his pace and looked at her surroundings with caution.
Sebastian didn’t answer her but dragged her into the woods near the shore, away from the people and pinned her to one of the trees before taking off his disguise.
They are alone in the darkness, far away from all the tourists and the anticipation made Zara clutch his t shirt tight as she took in her surroundings nervously.
She isn’t afraid of dark but she’s afraid of being alone with him in the dark.
“What are we doing here?”
She asked, a shiver running down her spine as the sea breezes hit her and twitched her body when she felt his arms trapping her between his sturdy body and the trunk.
“Didn’t you ask me if I am a man or not?”
He said, pressing his body to her, making her gasp at their closeness and continued “I think you forgot about me after two years. Let me remind you what kind of man I am.”
He buried his head into her neck and inhaled her smell greedily, groaning at the sweet smell in nostalgia.
Heavens! He missed her so much.
“I…I am just joking. I didn’t mean a..any of those words. C..can we talk? Normally?”
Zara stuttered and tried to push him away as she didn’t want anything to happen between them again and found right words not to provoke him.
“I am talking Sunshine but you are being the bad girl.”
He said, kissing her tender skin and smiled when her body shivered in a torturous way.
“I confessed my feelings but you accused me of being a sexual person. Perhaps, I should live up to your expectations.”
He crashed his lips on her hungrily, swallowing her words and held her hands above her head, kissing her senselessly.
Zara’s mind went blank as she closed her eyes, feeling his tounge enter her mouth in dominance, demanding her to surrender.
The rustling of branches filled their ears along with the sounds of waves but Sebastian showed no intention of letting her him.
When he moved his lips to kiss her jawline, Zara breathed in some air and whispered into his ear.
“Bash! Please! Stop this.”
