Chapter 41
It was amusingly a silent supper the Knights castle had ever seen. There was love, affection, fire, insults and glares; all combined in one supper meal.
Later the day of Gode’s arrival, she settled in the chamber she was allotted and right away went to meet her best friend whom she missed so dearly.
The bright smile on Ella’s face was the evidence of her fruitful and happy marriage which made Gode to smile along thinking that her choice to help the Lord months back was a right judgment. Knowing many deep secrets of Xander, she was hesitant if she should allow the dangerous man to take her friend away but Gode also know that sometimes, demons are kinder than angels, and sometimes demons are what needed in life to change its course from worse to better.
Ella’s bright smile and pleased eyes was the indication she needed. Her friend was happy and well treated and loved by the Lord and his staff.
But what Gode did not expect was the turn of cheerful moments into raging one when she reached the dining hall for the supper and was greeted by a certain long haired grey eyed silly man who has a smile that would make anyone aggravated to the point of death.
Alexavier!
A man who can smile the whole day without caring for his jaws.
Gode wondered how his face was still in the right proportion with the amounts of smiling he does. Didn’t his mouth ever stuck to the side?
“Is he a Lord as well, Xander?” Ella broke the silent draggers Gode was throwing towards her husband’s brother.
Ella was quite certain that the brother of her husband already set his eyes on fiery Gode and she couldn’t help but get amused looking at her best friend raging like a wild bull for the first time.
“No darling. Xavier is my commando and is best person for scaring people.” Xander answered proudly looking at his younger brother who winked and smirked back.
“Scaring?” Ella narrowed her eyes towards her husband seeking answers as she served him with cooked vegetables and eggs.
“Of course. Scaring and stealing perfects his forte.” Gode muttered to herself but it was quite clearly heard by the other three on the table.
Ella suppressed her giggle painfully and her eyes gleamed with amusement.Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
Oh, how entertaining it was to have the two of them together in a same room.
Ella didn’t know that her husband had a family but looking at Alexavier, she was confident that the two are brother with the uncanny similar features they share. She felt a lot better meeting a member of her husband’s family. If Ella ever wanted anything, it was to have a big family to live with and the need to have a family intensified after she lost her own.
“Ah, but my sweet lady, I just do not steal anything, you see. I have my fondness on certain things; better say, certain things of certain someone.” Alexavier said in a cocky manner and bend forward to peck Gode but suddenly a yelp left his mouth.
That was when Gode smirked and pulled the sharp fork up and twirled it around her fingers giving an evil smile to him. She must have poked him very hard for him to yelp loudly.
“You probably should be cautious of certain things; better say, certain things from certain someone.” Gode retorted smartly. With that Ella burst out into series of giggles looking at the imperfectly perfect couple sitting before her.
Xander couldn’t help smirk at his brother for trying to seduce an explosive fire cracker and in return taking the burn. Xander had already warned his brother that Gode would never be one of his bedmate considering her feisty personality but he was adamant to entice her.
Although Xavier was his brother, he was very protective of Gode like how a brother would be and was worried when his brother showed interest in his wife’s friend. Looking at both of them right at the moment, Xander was relieved to see that Gode wasn’t an easy target and she would make his brother grovel the ground she walked to have her.
“Where do reside, sir.” Ella asked Alexavier to cut down the cold look Gode was throwing towards him a pleased look he was giving Gode.
Ella found them both funny.
“Sir? I prefer to be called as Xavier from my sister-in-law, my Lady. And I live in the Knights manor at Satbury.” Alexavier produced a polite smile. Xavier now understood why his brother was so enticed by his dear wife.
She was a good lady and quite a beauty, pure and meek. On the other side, her best friend whom he took liking in was an absolute opposite. Gode was an aggressive and a hard headed woman and was woman who’s hard to deal with.
Xavier knew through what ordeals his brother has to go to get to the place he was presently in and looking at his pleasant nature takes no brilliance to tell that it was his wife’s magic.
“He wanted to stay at Satbury and look after the trials regarding bandits of the districts around. We know the arena around Satbury well as we hail from the exact place.” Xander clarified.
“A thief looking after the trials of bandits. People of minds alike know each other well.” Gode mock murmured again but this time making certain she was audible enough to let the three hear her mocking scoff.
“And who said I am a thief, dear lady?” Xavier asked with a cocky smile. He knew what Gode was talking about and truth to be told, he was proud of himself to be able to steal her pendant.
He couldn’t forget the day when he first saw her. She was the most beautiful creature he had ever noticed, not to forget her hard slap she gave him for trying to charm her the first time they met.
It was not Xavier’s intention to pull out her necklace but when she paid no heed to him, to the man for whom ladies get into cat fights just to spend one night, it hurt his reputation. How was it likely for a lady to defy his charms? He was known to be a God of Seduction. Then how was Gode so impervious to his efforts?
That was the moment Xavier had realized that he had finally met his other half, who can bring his swaying penis to a halt.
“Isn’t it quiet the obvious fact sir? You very skillfully took my necklace without even touching me. Certainly, you are underestimating yourself.” Gode grimaced recollecting the horrible first meeting with him. He was such a man of no use other than his ploys in taking a woman to his bed.
Despicable!
“Ah, I apologize for letting your hope down, dear. I would assure you to touch you to take anything of yours.” Xavier trailed his eyes over Gode’s body licking his lips. Gode frowned at the way he was looking at her so she pushed the devil fork towards him in a warning gesture. By then, Xander and Ella slowly slipped out of the dining room stealthily after ordering the maids to bring their desserts to their bed chamber.
“Careful there, little nymph. I might as well assume you are trying to make me touch you right now with the attempts you are providing.” Xavier chuckled and caught Gode’s hand into his kissing it lightly. Gode immediately took back her hand back and rubbed the place where he kissed neatly with the table cloth making positive she had cleansed the sin over her.
“DO NOT PUT YOUR DIRTY PAWS ON ME OR YOU WOULD NOT KEEP THEM TO YOURSELF, I PROMISE.” Gode gritted enunciating each and every word like throwing knifes towards him. She had enough with the man who thought he could kiss her with such lenience.
“Do not be shy, nymph. Come let me escort you to our bed chamber. I am quite ready to be well spent by you.” Xavier ignored Gode’s outburst and wrapped a hand around her shoulder pulling her to their supposed bed chamber, not caring the small fists hitting his arm.
This was going to be an interesting night!
