Tangled By Fate

Chapter 121 - TIME FOR SWEET PUNISHMENT

Arthur and Sebastian caught as many fishes as possible. Sebastian commented, "For someone to conjure up a pond full of fish, it's unimaginable."

"Indeed," Arthur muttered expressionlessly.

Sebastian gulped. He continued, "Master must really love her to save her from a wild animal barehanded."

'But the woman in question had her eyes fixed on someone else,' Arthur thought with a gloomy expression.

Sebastian stole a glance at his master and saw a grimaced expression. He looked away. His heart was shaking. 'I thought I could make him feel better. What should I say?'

He kept wondering what he should say. While he did that, Arthur already caught ten fish.

When they returned with fish, they heard the girls' conversation. Arthur asked, "Who do you want to beat up?"

Veronica was startled and turned to face him. She hurriedly responded, "No one! No one important. We were thinking Lord Alexander was a bad person. We should beat him up if we get the chance."

"Is that so…?" Arthur muttered and glanced at the girl next to her. Catherine glared at him in return.

Sebastian put down the basket of fish on the ground and stated, "Now that you mentioned Lord Alexander, our sources told us that Lord Alexander's men are guarding the Utahill border by the king's order."

"What?!" Catherine was shocked.

"…" Veronica looked at Arthur. She was scared. Uncertainty filled her heart.

"Aren't we going to Utahill? What if he catches Ver?" Catherine questioned Sebastian.

Sebastian answered, "We have plans for that. Once we reach there, you will find out. Now, clean the fish with me."

"You are so annoying. Not telling us anything at all," Catherine grumpily said and yet went to help him.

Veronica followed her and Arthur joined them too.

Arthur was correct. It started raining not long after that. Fortunately, they were done eating by then. Four of them chose four trees. They covered themselves with thin blankets and wanted to sleep.

However, Veronica couldn't sleep. She tossed and turned but sleepiness left her head. She could hear Sebastian's snoring and Catherine's sleep talk. She shut her eyes and thought, 'Why was Arthur angry? I tried to talk to him during dinner but he avoided having a chat with me. He didn't choose the same spot as me. I feel sad…' Tears fell from her eyes as she thought of him. She missed his affectionate voice and tender touches.

At that time, someone touched her face and asked, "Why are you crying?"

Veronica's heart was shaken vigorously. It had been some time since she was this scared. She called out in a quivering voice, "A-Arthur?"

She was too busy thinking about her depressing life. She didn't notice when he approached her.

Arthur sat beside her and went under her blanket. Afterward, he replied, "I saw you having a joyful time with your friend. What makes you downhearted now?"

"It's your fault, you big fat meanie!" she complained while wiping her tears. She was thoroughly embarrassed to show him her weak side.

"What did I do?" Arthur inquired.

Veronica grumbled, "You weren't talking to me and acting distant. You aren't even telling us why we are heading toward Utahill. I'm scared."

Arthur soon realized what she meant. He directly questioned her, "Were you thinking that I would betray you?"

Veronica looked away, feeling guilty conscience pricking her heart. She mumbled, "I didn't want to, but my head wasn't following my heart."

Arthur's eyes dangerously narrowed. "You," his voice was low and full of malice, "…you were the one eyeing other men and their bodies and now you think I will betray you. Aren't your thoughts too haphazard? Shall I demonstrate what it means to be a lover of a man?" He grabbed her shoulder and pinned her against the tree.

"Huh?" His sudden movement caught her off guard. When she came back to her senses, she struggled but was unable to break free from his grasp. Her face flushed and her heart started to race. "A-Arthur… umm…"

Her lips were blocked by him. It was rather forceful compared to before. It wasn't a sweet kiss. She winced when he bit her lower lip.

After biting her lower lip, he licked the wounds. She gasped and opened her mouth. He took his chance to enter her mouth. Their kisses turned wilder the next moment.

Veronica shuddered. Her fingers clasped his clothes and responded to his kisses. His actions were too abrupt. She couldn't settle with his tongue and only could resign herself.

She followed his lead while he tangled his tongue with hers and sucked it hard. Her body began to grow hotter. She could sense her blood boiling. Her face and ears felt hot. The heavy rainfall covered the indecent sounds of their kissing from the unwanted ears.

Soon, she lacked oxygen and he let her mouth go. The thread of mixed saliva was added to both tongues. With a flushed face, she tried to look at the man in front of her. Her chest was moving up and down due to her rapid breathing.

Before she could cool off, Arthur's lips landed on her neck. Her body trembled at his touch. Her sensitive skin grew hot wherever his lips touched her.

"Mmm…" she couldn't help but moan when his lips touched her nape. He didn't just plant butterfly kisses on her skin. His lips strongly sucked her most sensitive areas and nibbled her less sensitive skin.

Her brain was too occupied with his lips to notice his hands. By the time she felt the cold breeze cooling her skin, her blouse was unbuttoned by Arthur's experienced fingers.

"Wait… ahh!" she tried to stop him in panic. She didn't want to do it when other people were around. Moreover, one of them was her best friend and another one was a man too. Nonetheless, she let out a sweet moan as his fingers pinched her both nipples. A jolting pleasure rushed through her spine and almost made her joints numb.

Arthur's ears went numb when she moaned close to his ear. He felt heat in between his legs. He growled and then, his lips trailed down while his fingers rubbed her small mounds until they hardened. Veronica shuddered in ecstasy. The feelings of his fingers touching her nipples were too much. She could only moan in pleasure.

If she had any more stimulations than that…
