Chapter 406: The Memories-I

Unexpectedly Esther's answer was straightforward and Elise do not know why she but felt the words Esther said were not a lie. As she stared at Esther, the woman looked back at her, "Is there anything wrong, Elise?"

"No, nothing. I was thinking how you speak a little like someone who I knew. Who was that person?" Elise asked again, curious to know more.

In time, a knock came across the room, Elise was the one who left to open the door while Esther sighed, wondering why she had uttered the words she spoke earlier. There were something about Elise that she couldn't quite point her finger in her and it must be because of that... Esther's concentration broke when she heard Elise speaking.

Coming toward the door, Esther went to meet Elise who was still in the middle of the talk with Ian, "Esther, I will be leaving the room."

Esther raised her brows subtly while crossing her hands, "You will? That's a shame but where might you two be planning to go at late this night?"

Elise was thinking what to say when Ian rounded his hand around her waist, his other hand sensually wrapped on her nape and his voice feel deeper, "We are thinking of having a time of our own, talking and rolling on the bed, you will get what I mean when you replace someone who you plan to marry soon."

Elise's eyes widened and her cheeks turn red as bloody rushes to her cheeks. What was he doing?!

Esther appeared shock that had jaw fell slack because she didn't know the Demon could be this brazen, "I see."

Ian didn't reply again and brought Elise away from the room. When they left, Elise's cheeks were still red to the point the tips of her ears were pink. After getting less blood from her head, Elise could understand Ian had only tried to brush off Esther's suspicions but there should be other way than saying those embarrassing words.

It was then when Elise's lips parted in surprise as Ian lifted her chin, "You know how much I love this embarrassed look on your face? It makes me wonder how you better you would look on our first night."

Elise skin that had calmed down, turn redder again, "You are doing it on purpose to tease me."

"I feel like you are accusing more than before, my love. I'm a bit upset," Ian spoke with a light frown though his lips were still capturing the hint of the grin.

"You are roping me into something again," said Elise who felt smarter as she was able to detect Ian's teasing and walk around her way so she won't fall on his trap.

What Elise didn't know was that she was too naive. Ian knew how to coax and twist her by her words, and instead said, "Another accusation. I was planning to give you a little reward for being a good girl for the past few days but I might be wrong in my judgement. But if you please me, I might have to correct the judgement again."

Elise was curious but that wasn't the only main point. She looked at him and said, "P-Please?"

Ian didn't miss how the lone words that left from her lips were breathy, her expression was no less than a tempting deadly fruit that dangle sweetly in front of him who had been fasting for days of no end. Ian pushed his hand over her shoulders where she was wearing a dress that let her to show a little of the skin of her shoulders that rubbed with his fingertips when he run his fingers over, "What are you think about? I was going for a simple kiss but why do I feel like you are going for something more? Are you remembering the time you had given me a head?"

Elise suddenly felt as if she was running out of breaths. Ian's lips went closer toward her and she closed her eyes when a sound of clear cough coming from their left and Elise turned her head to see Austin whose face was turning on his left, "Apologies, Apologies! I didn't see anything nor did I heard anything. The food I ate tonight must have been a little off because suddenly my head feel fuzzy..." and like how he quietly appear, the werecat also suddenly disappear.

Ian shrugged his shoulders, then going to kiss her again but Elise stopped him, "Let's not do it here..." she whispered.

"I don't mind the company of others watching us," Ian pulled a grin and Elise wondered if he had gone into a boarding school which master on words as he just knew the right statement to make her feel all high and embarrassed at the same time. "Though I might dislike it a lot if they were to look at your lovely face which only I can see. Some of this time around the corner I should roast that werecat."

"It was our fault for doing it here," muttered Elise as she pulled her hand, and fan her face with her fingers to calm herself.

"What is wrong with doing it in our own house? You have got it wrong if you think we are wrong for doing it anywhere we like," Ian said and his smile bore a foretelling to Elise as if he wasn't going to end what he did tonight to her and had saved it for the future.

"Where are we going? Our destination," said Elise, veering the talk that she did it in a very clumsy way.

"Somewhere in Warine. It is the village that my mother live at before he marry my father. The village is called Snowsill," Ian said which Elise also noticed there was a sound of a light pause whenever he spoke about his mother, making her knew how much he love her. "It is not too far and would only take the longest three minutes with wings but as it's near let's teleportate there." Elise nodded her head in agreement. The moment she touched his hand he spread for her, she zapped in second, disappearing from the place.

Meanwhile, Esther who appeared as if she had went back to her room earlier lingered in the corridor. Her blue eyes dimmed as she made her way to survey the third floor while making sure she moved like shadow so she won't make any sound.
