"No, no, no. Not like that." She protested, causing Sebastian to shoot her a puzzled look. He was stuck in a weird position of bending over halfway, wanting to pick her up, but not being able to since she had rejected his offer. However, Elle seemed to find that pose funny and she laughed out merrily. Her laughter was like the chime of many tiny bells. He loved hearing it. That sound of her laughter.

"I want to try something different today… a piggy back ride!" She grinned after declaring her choice of transportation style. "Now my knight, stop hesitating and do as your princess has commanded. Don't be disobedient."

Sebastian caught his lip between his teeth and nibbled on it for a while. Now he was starting to regret that he had gone along with her drunken plays.

When his eyes noticed someone opening their window to sneak a peek, Sebastian turned around. "Get on. Quick." He told her in a tight voice and Elle immediately hopped onto him without any hesitation.

He just wanted to get her out of this particular neighborhood as soon as possible.

She was still chuckling happily to herself as Sebastian walked down another street where there were still more people milling around.

"I never thought I'd actually enjoy riding you like this tonight." She giggled innocently. But she had not realized how her words had an effect completely opposite of being innocent to her 'knight' that was carrying her.

Sebastian's steps faltered a little. His throat worked.

"Now, now… don't stop here, Sir Sebastian. We have not arrived at our next destination yet." She rallied him and his grip on her tightened slightly before he finally moved again. "That's my man." she praised the next moment.

He paused again at her words but managed to continue moving before she started protesting again.

For an immeasurable amount of time, Sebastian continued walking slowly until Elle was tired of gushing over and hyping up everything that she felt was amazing or beautiful or just plain genius. She finally leaned her head on the back of his shoulder and just silently breathed.

"Thank you…" she whispered suddenly, causing Sebastian to halt midstep. "I had so much fun today and tonight too. And this is sooo much fun! I never thought riding you would be this much fun."

"You better stop saying those words now, Izabelle." He snapped. This girl had no idea whatsoever at what it was doing to him whenever she kept spouting those crazy suggestive words!

But she acted as though she did not hear him. She wiggled down from his back before immediately running off. Not giving him any moment to ask where she was going this time.

Sebastian tsked as he trailed after her, only to have his eyes widened when he realized she had entered a club. And he knew that wasn't just any normal club. He already knew that this club was one of those old-fashioned brothels disguised as a simple club!

Grabbing Elle's arm, Sebastian pinned her against him and whispered. "Sorry, Izabelle, but that's not a place for you to enter so casually." His voice was firm.

She whipped around and glared at him, surprising him once again. He didn't expect a glare from her.

"Did you forget who you are right now, Sebastian? You're Sebastian, my obedient knight. You're not my husband who always leaves me in the dark and tells me not to do this and that without any explanation!" the happy innocent ball of fire had suddenly turned into a fiery woman determined to burn everything to hell if she did not get what she wanted. F**k, the duality of this woman right now was insane! It seems that he was wrong to think she was as innocent as a child when drunk! He should've just taken her back to Alexander's house while he was carrying her!

"This is a club, Izabelle." He whispered in a controlled but firm voice. He was making sure that he sounded as absolute as he could for her to realize he wasn't open for any negotiation about this matter.

"Oh… isn't that much better?" She happily clapped her hand. "I've never been in a club before! It's high time for me to explore this uncharted territory!"

But Sebastian held her arm firmly in his grip, not allowing her to take another step in. "No. And no means no, Izabelle."

"Yes, Sebastian!" she stood up to him. Her blue eyes blazed at him in challenge. "And yes, means yes!"

"You're not going to negotiate with this. I'll take you anywhere but here." Sebastian did not budge from his stance and tried to pull her away when Elle hit him lightly on his chest.

When he whipped around, the words he was about to say did not come out after seeing the expression on her face. She was breathing heavily and the corner of her eyes had already turned red. She was angry and looked as though she was about to cry.

"F**k, fine!" he hissed out in frustration. He was really pissed at himself right now on why the hell was he giving in to her ridiculous demands. He should have just grab her away and bring her back to Alexander's house no matter if she cried. He would much rather deal with that than letting her go inside that f**king place.

She smiled and lovingly hugged him. "Thank you…" she told him and Sebastian felt even more frustrated at the realization that the girl had just used her tears and played with him and blackmailed him with her little acting. His mind kept telling him that it was plain ridiculous of him to give this woman any more power over him.

And yet he had allowed himself to be dragged by her inside the club.

"Just a peek. Okay, Izabelle?" He firmly whispered in her ear. And then they finally entered.
