Chapter 10 - A Devil's Test
Surrounding me were thousands of stars lighting up every nook and crany of the room that we were in.
They reflected off of my wide eyes, making Cal happy that he had chosen this way to transport me.
My shivers stopped as I reached out to them, like a child.
Amy Angel
What is this place?
Cal Bentley
It's a portakey hub.
Cal Bentley
Well, where I set up portakey doors, I can travel instantly through this.
Amy Angel
So magic really can be beautiful.
My eyes were fixated on the ceiling. Cal's eyes, however, were on me.
Cal Bentley
I guess it can.
I then slowly turned towards him, realising that he wasn't talking about the sky at all.
My heart fluttered when he touched my smooth skin, his warmth filling me up to the brim. I wasn't nervous anymore... not when Cal was around me.
I forgot about his previous statement about me belonging to him. I forgot about everything.
Cal Bentley
Let's get going.
Hold on, did I hear that right?
He started to walk, me still sitting on his arm. As we past through yet another portakey portal, I soon understood that he was completely and utterly serious.
My heart fluttered when the portal closed and I remained on his arm.
I was in his room, a boy's room.
Cal Bentley
What's wrong? You shouldn't be scared in here.
He then chuckled and caressed my cheek.
Cal Bentley
You're a terrible liar.
His smile was so beautiful...
However, all of a sudden, his eyes became darker, and so did his beautiful expression.
Cal Bentley
It's time for our master-servant bond...
He then pushed me onto the bed, making my blond hair pour around me like a lion's mane.
Cal Bentley
It's not simple but I can do it.
Amy Angel
W-What do you mean... by a master-servant bond?
Cal Bentley
Easy. It's when a noble like me takes on a woman as my servant.
Which is a fanciful way to say a slave contract, I suppose.
His breath slowly approached my neck, making me shiver.
He felt so warm, his muscular arms slowly encircled me.
His scent was so... arousing.
Cal Bentley
I'm going to drink a little bit of your blood and then, we complete the ceremony...
What ceremony? Why was he being so vague? His lips slowly approached my neck, making me close my eyes shut.
I trembled, unsure of what to do and just as his breath reached my neck, he then got off of me and sat back up.
As he stood up, he rubbed the back of his neck while grumbling.
Cal Bentley
I knew it. Those men will eat you up if you're left alone.
Cal Bentley
You're defenceless.
He then looked at me and our eyes met for a second before he looked away again.
Cal Bentley
I did that to see if you could handle yourself but clearly, you can't. We need to set up precautions.
Cal turned around and travelled towards his desk, which seemed to be filled with different gadgets and trinkets.
After rummaging around for a minute or so, he pulled out what looked like a cat's collar and walked back over towards me, leaning closer to me again.
He then moved my hair to one side, his fingertips brushing past my skin, leaving a deep impression in it.
Then, I heard a snap and he stood back. Did he just put a cat's collar on me?
Cal Bentley
The orb contains a summoning spell. Break it and I'll immediately find you.
Amy Angel
Why... why would you do that?
Cal Bentley
You are mine. I don't want my property to be touched or lost in any way.
So it's a gift... I looked at the collar and smiled, fiddling around with the glowing orb.
It was actually really pretty and when my hand touched it, it glowed a beautiful blue light, just like Cal's eyes.
Amy Angel
I love it. It's beautiful.
Cal stiffened as he slashed his portakey across the wall, opening up a door.
Cal Bentley
Come on. I'll bring you back to your room.
Cal Bentley
You must be tired.
Cal Bentley
Don't hesitate to break that orb. Even if you feel scared, understood?
I then took his hand and we walked through the portakey hub together, hand in hand.
Cal's way of speaking and his actions might seem arrogant and rude but I can tell that he just has my best interests at heart.
