6 : Wear Something
6 : Wear Something
That night, Xena slept without proper food or any news from the guests that came here.
Not that she cared anyway.
As she slept comfortably in her bed, Cassius stayed awake, staring at the sleeping beauty from the corner of the room. Far away.
A man and a woman staying in one room, so much could happen. Even if the man wasn't exactly a human.
If he wanted, he could easily rip her throat out but now that he was connected to her, if she dies, he dies, and to be honest, he had no plans to die just now.
He had greater plans.
His whole kingdom was destroyed in front of him, his parents were stabbed in their vulnerable states and everything he ever cared about was taken away from him.
Now he will take everything away from them.
Cassius would definitely never let his guard down in a place like this.
At least not in the enemy territory.
Cassius stood up and pulled in his claws, canines, and wings as he walked closer to the woman sleeping in the bed.
She had no care in the world that inside these four walls, there was a man eating creature aswell.
Her ginger hair were spread on her pillow and her lips were slightly parted. Her long lashes touched her cheeks that were tinted blush red. she slept peacefully, Her chest raised and dropped gently, her breaths sounded like small whimpers.
Oh, how much he would like to torture her, just as he was being tortured right now.
The silk sheets that were draped over Xena a while ago had now slipped a to the side, exposing her chest in her silk chemise. Showing the shape of her perky breasts under the silk nightwear. The silk had enhanced every curve and bump.
Her porcelain skin was right there, visible for the hungry eyes of this one creature in her room.
God, that made Cassius hungry. Her soft flesh only a few inches away from him.
Why didn't she wear full clothes when she went to bed? He wondered. This is going to be difficult.
Clenching his jaw, Cassius tried to push his suddenly elongated canines back in, groaning lowly, he stepped closer and clenched the sheets tightly in his fist. Cassius draped the covers back on her, covering her till her jaw.
This female was so stupid.
Cassius released a sigh but groaned when he realized he was famished after seeing what he saw. He really wanted to slice into someone's skin.
A plump woman perhaps.
And if he didn't find anyone soon, he would kill the woman in front of him - which he should not.
Oh no, he shouldn't.
With that thought in his mind, he walked out of Xena's room, making sure to close the door quietly.
Not that he cared if Xena woke up, no! She would be a headache if she woke up.
The guards watched the creature with watchful eyes, both scared enough to defecate in their pants though.
Thinking he would pounce any second, they didn't question his movement and sudden appearance.
Cassius casually sniffed the air and followed a random scent, he ended up standing in front of a giant door. When he pushed it open, Prince Aries came in sight.
He is a nuisance even when he is sleeping. Cassius thought.
He was sleeping shirtless and Cassius groaned. No, shirtless was not the problem but the flesh was.
Cassius himself was shirtless since a shirt always restricted his wings and he didn't appreciate that.
To be honest, he would love to eat the Prince Charming but he couldn't. Not now anyway.
With a huff, he snapped the door close forcefully - with obvious intentions to ruin his sleep - and jumped out of the closest window, bringing his white wings out and flying into the night.
On his way to hunt his food.
Morning came along, Cassius was asleep uncomfortably on the couch with his wings covering his body like a sheet.
Xena was up and early but was fuming.
Xena, no matter how peaceful he looks, you have to do this! Grow a lady pair!
The drama was about to happen. She walked towards Cassius with a newspaper rolled in her palm.
She was honestly scared to touch him - His wings actually. They were covering him, so she refrained from touching him even though she was dying to skim her fingers against his wings.
How soft would they be? Wings that were whiter than my skin, how beautiful they are.
"Cassius!" Xena said loudly but there was still softness. One of the wings that was covering Cassius' face moved to show his face.
Argh, he looks so cute with his messy hair and - Xena's train of thought was interrupted.
He looked at her with narrowed eyes.
"Get out of my face!" Xena gasped at his colorful language. Since her father never used this language with her, she wasn't used to hearing them as well.
In an instant, Xena gathered her courage and grabbed Cassius by his soft messy hair and pulling at them. The soft curls immediately wrinkling between her fingers.
Wrong move to be honest cause the next second, Xena was pinned to the wall with a fuming Cassius in front of her.
"Never touch me again or I will surely rip you apart!" He threatened with anger rolling off of him in waves. Xena had her eyes tightly closed - not wanting to see the scary person in front of her.
Note to self, don't touch him! Xena noted.
When Cassius was satisfied with her reaction, he immediately backed away from Xena and sat back on the couch.
All this while, Xena was shocked and her breathing came out ragged.
He almost crushed her between the wall and his body! No man has ever done this to her!
Calm down.
She calmed herself down and finally collected her guts.
Cassius didn't like being touched by humans. They were filthy things incapable of any good deeds. Xena didn't know what Cassius thought exactly.
Sighing, Xena looked down at the newspaper tightly clutched in her palm.
"Cassius!"
She threw the newspaper at Cassius's feet, the newspaper unrolled and uncovered a picture of a woman torn apart.
The picture was truly horrifying and it made Xena's gut wrench in disgust.
Cassius knew what this was about but still pretended to be oblivious. He looked back at Xena who had her hands on her hips.
"Well!?"
Cassius only found her behavior stupid but he was more irritated by the fact that a shirt was covering his body and he wanted it off. Ah, now he remembered how he got the shirt on.
He took it off of a man before eating him. It was the first shirt that Cassius ever liked in his whole life. But right now, the shirt was not needed and he wanted it off.
"What did you do?" Xena asked slowly and Cassius shrugged, finally pulling the shirt over his shoulder - fighting the urge to rip it - and shaking his wings.
"A midnight snack." Just then he remembered how tender breasts and the rear bottom was of the female he ate. Her tummy was even softer.
Truly a feast!
Suddenly, Cassius wanted to eat again.
"You can't go around and eat people!" Xena scolded and Cassius stood up. Xena's eyes immediately traveled south to his body which was - not surprisingly - chiseled and muscular.
His eight pec was also not surprising but when being visible, they were definitely attention-worthy and that made Xena feel things she would've preferred to feel on a certain night after her wedding.
She is surprisingly calm about it. Cassius thought.
"I can," Cassius stated as a matter of fact. Xena ground her teeth and lowered her gaze, stopping herself from looking any more.
The winged creatures always maintained their bodies and were known to be really . . . Breathtaking.
Xena sighed and sat down on the bed.
Why was Xena not really angry with him? Why couldn't she shout on him? Why did she not look at how brutally Cassius killed her people?
Xena did not have answers to that yet.
"Come on, time for breakfast," Xena started getting up and Cassius shrugged, walking towards the door.
"Wait! At least wear a shirt!"
Cassius shook his head and started to walk away again when Xena moved forward to grab his arm but realized what Cassius had said earlier. He didn't want anyone touching him.
"Stay here, I will bring you a shirt." Reluctantly, Cassius stopped moving and leaned against the door.
Why was he allowing Xena to control him? Maybe he found fun in everything she did and then, in the end, he would rile her up by doing exactly what she asked to not do.
He watched Xena move around the room in her silk dress which almost clearly showed her sexy black undergarments. Oh God, someone needs to give this female lessons on how to live with her supposedly slave and bodyguard in the same room.
Xena returned with a sleeveless shirt with slits cut into the back and passed it to Cassius.
"Put this on, now!" Even though Cassius didn't like to be ordered, He pulled it on.
"Pull your wings out," Xena ordered and Cassius growled but nevertheless, he pulled his wings out. They move out of the shirt perfectly and Xena smile. Success!
"Wait, let me fix it a bit more." She said and motioned Cassius to sit down.
"If I agreed to the shirt, it doesn't mean that I will listen to everything you say," Cassius said angrily and left the room, slamming the door on his way out.
Xena sighed.
Okay then.
She locked the door of her room - after calling her lady to help her -, which was probably guarded by Cassius and decided to change into something else since the guests were still here and also, today was her birthday.
She was finally going to be twenty.
Xena changed into a long dress with a corset - which she never liked. It always made it difficult for her to breath and this time, the lady made it exceptionally tight.
I hope the day goes by okay. I hope. Xena thought.
...
What do you think of Cassius? This is just the beginning and I hope that you actually enjoy this book.
