The Royal Contract

Chapter 614: Running out of time

“Can you just tell me where we are going?” She glared at him when he kept packing up her things without giving her a concrete answer.

She stood by the bathroom door, watching him go through her things. In all honesty, she was thrilled at the prospect of going away with him on a trip, but she still preferred to know where.

She refused to do anything unless she would tell him anything, but he was as stubborn as ever as he continued to pick things he believed she would need on this trip.

“It is a surprise.” He said, continuing to throw her things into the overnight bag he took from her cabinet.

He was hoping that he would be through before she would open her eyes. He had tried to be more careful not to make unnecessary noises.

He was not expecting that she would suddenly wake up, catch him rummaging through her things and placing them inside the bag.

“As much as I would love to indulge your whim, I need the bathroom. So, can you please wait outside?” She tapped on her feet, crossing her arms across her chest, impatiently waiting for him to leave the room.

.....

She was debating if she should be mad at him for his intrusion into her place. But she did give him a key so he could freely come and go without asking for her permission.

However, that did not give him the right to meddle with her things. Then, plan for her weekend without consulting her. But then again, she also found it sweet that he would go to all that trouble for her.

“Hurry up! I don’t want us to be late.” Marcus ordered as if she had already agreed to the arrangement.

He carried the small bag, walked towards her, and leaned over. Then, planting a chase kiss on her lips before moving out of the room. He could tell that she expected more.

He knew that Jacky could be a bit hard-headed just like him. One way he could get his way with her was to outsmart her. Surprising her was also another method of distracting her.

“Don’t think that we are through talking about this,” Jacky shouted behind him, making sure that he heard every word she said before he could close the door behind him.

She did not like that she had fallen into his trap that easily. She thought that he would continue kissing her, but instead, he left her craving for more.

She looked at herself in the mirror and was shocked by her appearance. Her hair was all disarray, then her face looked like it was just hit by a sack of potatoes.

Her cheeks were still missing some colors. She quickly splashed some water on her face and patted it with her fingers to make her blood flow again.

After a few more minutes, she was done in the bathroom. With a towel wrapped around her body, all she had to do was get some clothes inside her cabinet.

“Do you have any specific clothing I should wear for this trip?” She asked as she strutted into the bedroom with the flimsy towel covering her.

She could see his eyes following her every step, and a plan suddenly came to her mind. It was time for payback. If he could keep teasing her, she could also do the same.

“Wear what you feel like it.” He answered as he lay on her bed with arms behind his neck, back, and legs stretched on the covers. “But if you don’t hurry. You might suddenly find yourself wearing nothing at all.”

He warned her with a naughty glint in his eyes, staring at her from head to foot. He would like to get out of the apartment soon, but if she kept prancing in front of him with her barely concealed body, they might not leave the room, any time, soon.

“Then, stop looking.” She answered him as she turned around and faced the cabinet doors.

When she had finally chosen what she would like to wear, she let the towel drop intentionally to the floor, leaving her back exposed to his view.

She could tell that he had been watching intently, hearing him drew in a sharp breath. If he could make her combust like a fire, she could also fight fire with fire.

“You really know how to punish me.” He whispered behind her, taking over on zipping her up. “But I will certainly enjoy every minute of it.”

He slowly glided the metallic tab up the zipper chain, grazing it gently on her skin. He could tell that she could feel every sensation of the cold metal as it passed through her spine.

He could see it was working when she closed her eyes and slightly opened her mouth, allowing a gasp to escape her lips. He wanted her to imagine it was his fingers caressing her skin.

“No, I wasn’t.” She pretended innocently, but she knew she had been playing with fire.

Shortly, she realized that her action had backfired on her as she began to crave his touch. She leaned more to his hands, wanting to feel his skin against hers.

“I think you are all done.” He announced just under her ears, allowing his breath to skim through her delicate skin.

He pulled his hand abruptly away from her skin, not believing she did not expose her backside to him on purpose. He would admit that it was hard for him to control himself, but he would not let her win. Not yet.

“Oh!” She responded disappointedly, immediately opening her eyes, only to realize that she had been outwitted again. However, it was just the beginning, she thought. She had the entire weekend to get back at him. She was not giving up yet on her plans.

If he had a surprise for her, she might as well create one for him. But this one, she would make sure both of them would enjoy. What could that be? That was the question. She still had no idea where they were going.

“Come on. I don’t want us to be late.” He moved away from her and waited by the door.

He could always get her the other things she might need once they were there. He had no more time to sort out her stuff because they were already running out of time.
