Chapter 36
Valerie’s Pov
Why was he coming closer to me? I kept moving back, I didn’t know his next move, He seemed to be agitated and upset about my question.
I already saw what he was capable of today when he killed Yemora.
“Carson, go back and don…don’t come any closer” I stuttered.
He kept moving closer to where I was till he finally got to the spot where I was standing. He lifted his finger to touch my chin and I turned my face the other way, not knowing what to expect I heard a soothing voice next.
“I am sorry, I didn’t mean to yell” Carson reassured and when I heard his calm voice I slowly shifted my head and I directed my eyes to his eyes.
He had a look of remorse, This man is so complicated. He just yelled at me like I did something terrible and now he is using a different voice and demeanor while talking to me. I Instantly remembered how he snapped a few minutes ago and I replied his apology,
“Okay, Jus…just move back” I urged. I saw how disassociated he looked. It looked like I had triggered something, But what exactly? The evening was going well until I inquired more about the painting.
“I can’t help but move closer to you, You look stunning” I wanted to get away from this madman as soon as possible. And just like that he smiled at me, I can’t believe this man, He yells and then apologizes and then goes on to tease me.
“You are crazy, stay away from me” I retorted and went to the door. I quickly reached for the handle and tried to open it so I could get away from him and go to my room and lock the doors.
As I reached the door it was locked and I turned back to look at where I had left Carson and he had the most sinister smile on his lips.This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
“Trying to get away from me?” Carson declared.
“Open the door and let me out right now” I commanded. He slowly walked to where I stood, just right in front of the door. Every step he took echoed around the room, Which only made my heart beat even faster.
When he reached where I stood, he pushed me against the wall and took my hands in his. He leaned forward and I felt his breath on my cheeks before he tilted his head he pressed his lips against mine. I was in disbelief. I didn’t want to wrap my head around being kissed by this man. My stomach tingled and I had this weird indescribable feeling. His eyes were closed and our lips were locked together. I tried pushing him away but his grip on my hands was too strong. He finally opened his eyes and pulled away while letting out a sigh.
“How could I not have a taste? You were too tempting” Carson licked his lips as my lipstick was smeared on his lips.
“Why…Why” I stammered as my head failed to form a complete sentence, I was still in shock.
“You get more beautiful every day, I have waited so long to have a taste and I must say that you’re tastier than I had imagined,” Carson said as he continued to look at me with his eyes, He looked at my eyes before he trails down to chest, He used his finger to touch my neck before slowly running them through my chest, I closed my legs tights because I felt the need to do so.
“Stop, Please let me go, Pl-” I tried to beg him to stop what he was doing. But his fingers touched my lips and stopped me from completing my sentence.
“Not another word, let me revel in your beauty” Carson grinned. My thoughts came running back and I felt angry and upset at what he had just done, I pushed his body away from mine.
“Why would you even do this?” I said as I already had teary eyes, I didn’t want him to touch me
“It was almost impossible not to touch you,” Carson said as he stood upright.
“How dare you?” I said as I pushed him one more time
“It is not my fault that you’re a walking meal waiting to be devoured,” Carson continued smiling.
“Open this door now” I commanded. And to my surprise, he walked to the door and opened it.
“You can leave, anything else? I heard Carson ask, I hesitated to leave the art gallery because he listened to me. What if it was just another one of his traps?
After a few seconds had passed I put one of my feet out of the gallery and prepared to dash off but before I left I looked him in the eye
“Stay away from me, don’t come near me” I waited for his response.
“Very well then” I looked at him from head to toe before I dashed off.
After I scurried off to my room I immediately sent for Janet to make a bath for me. I scrubbed thoroughly because I wanted to stop thinking about the moment I had just shared with Carson. Every minute since I left the art gallery I have been thinking about what happened. Somehow it always brought a tingling feeling to me. After the bath, I sent Janet away and changed into a nightwear and no matter what I did to distract myself, My mind always found a way to wander back to that moment. It felt unreal but still very real. I finally laid back on my bed and after twisting and turning, Thinking about Carson and told he pressed his lips against mine, I always thought my first kiss was going to be Andrew, oh poor Andrew he hasn’t heard from me, I do hope he is well. I finally fell asleep.
“Hey there little rabbit” I heard a familiar voice and my eyes snapped open almost immediately.
