[Picture is of Declan. I used Aaron Taylor-Johnson because I just really felt like his looks suited what Declan would look like and I think I was right plus he is super hot. OK now i'm gonna get on with the update.]
The next day I wore a white long sleeved lace crop top with a pair of white trousers. According to Declan I looked gorgeous, like an angel. If I was an angel then I guess that made him a demon. Declan the demon yeah that sounds right.
"Sir where are my orchids?" I asked turning towards him from the vanity mirror.
"Would you like them in a vase my love?" he sounded so sweet it rotted my teeth. I nodded my head and walked over to him taking a seat on the bed. I made sure to put on my best innocent looking face and smiled at him.
"Can we go for a walk?"
"As long as it's not outside the gate, then yes." He brushed a loose strand of hair from my face pulled me closer. I forgot I'd have to kiss him. Declan pulled me in closer and pecked my lips softly. I laid on top of his chest and sighed as he played with my hair.
I sighed louder this time and looked up at him. This time he said something, "What is it? Are you having some kind of asthma attack?"
"No I just really wanted to go outside," I made sure not to sound whiny. He wouldn't believe me if I was whining.
"We can walk in the garden," Declan rolled his eyes, "You can see the orchids and the willow tree." OK Kifo don't over do it with the asking for things, I reminded myself. Declan's phone rang and he immediately got up and answered it. I was careful to listen to what he was saying but he spoke in a language I didn't know.
"я убью тебя" He yelled at the person on the other end. I could hear the person shouting back at him. Natalia.
After some listening to Natalia on the other line he said, "сделай это" After cutting the phone he came back to me and I pretended to play with my nails. Natalia said she had arranged a day of pampering for me before the dinner tomorrow. Turning to Declan I smiled and the look of anger he had on his face vanished. Yes I was softening him up, this would make it so much easier for me to carry out my plan.
"Sorry um could I just have some time alone?" He sighed.
"OK yeah," I acted disappointed as I walked past Declan. He grabbed my hand as I passed and gave it a gentle kiss then pulled me into him and hugged me, rocking us from side to side. Leaning down to my ear he blew air into it and chuckled lightly, "цепкий"
I pushed away from him and shook my head. Even if I didn't know what he was saying I'm pretty sure it was making fun of me. I left him alone in the room and down the stairs into the kitchen. The disadvantage of the pill they gave me made my metabolism work faster. This was my second meal this afternoon. The chef, Sebastian cooked me many things each meal was from a different country and he'd tell me what he knew about the country it came from and I'd tell him what I knew.
"Today I have for you, ponchiki." Sebastian placed the little doughnuts in front of me and I clapped. "Native to Russia. Declan loves them."
"Oh could you make him a few extra?" Sebastian nodded and went to the stove. "So um I heard Declan speaking this weird language."
"Russian?" Sebastian asked as if it was totally obvious. So Declan's Russian and so is Natalia. I ate the ponchiki and tried to not make any obscene sounds. They were amazing especially with the sweet little syrup Sebastian had served them with.
Mia, the cleaning lady, came into the kitchen interrupting my little moment of zen. "Miss, Declan is calling for you."
Taking the ponchiki I left the kitchen and went back to my room. Declan was sat on the bed rubbing his face and making little sounds of irritation. I placed the plate on the bedside table and tapped his shoulder gently. As soon as Declan saw the little doughnuts he sat up and began to eat them.
"Thank you," he said through a full mouth.
"You're welcome." I replied. Declan turned and pointed to the orchids on my side of the bed. I crawled onto the bed and took out one of the orchids from the book. It was as beautiful as I thought it would be. Declan was being so nice to me, yes of course there was the fact that he had bought me but he was treating me nicely and so far he hadn't tried to...take advantage of me. Declan was handsome, rich and looked after me just like the husband I had envisioned for myself. Somewhere in my heart though there was a part of me saying this was wrong and that I needed to leave. My conscience agreed more with that argument.
"At the dinner tomorrow I will introduce you as my fiancée," Declan said as he fed me a ponchiki. "There will be a lot of people I work with there and I expect you to use everything Natalia has taught you. It's very normal for the wives and even some of the husbands of my clients to tell you that they were bought at an auction like you were. So don't be surprised if someone brags about how much they were bought for."
I choked on the ponchiki. How the hell was this a normal thing? To buy people and claim them as you're property there was nothing normal about that and the fact that some people were okay with it was disgusting. No the fact that earlier on I was OK with it was disgusting.
That evening I laid in bed wide awake while Declan slept. His arm was wrapped around me like I was going to run away from him. This was the first night Declan and I had actually slept together in the same bed and it was weird for me to be sleeping in the same bed as a man I wasn't even married to.
"Go to fucking sleep." Declan demanded as he pulled me closer to him. My eyes started to droop and before I knew it I was asleep, in Declan's arms.
