TDIDTRA Chapter 12

Chapter 12. A Fierce and Intense Gaze

Surprisingly, Bonida let out 0078cf9d8a a small murmur and ed1ed7e100 shifted in her sleep. She turned f02cb9af9d her back efa35e638d toward him, 7567b9e29d and Girion 5d55379dec nearly let 7135c1541c out a 9ef8c6a752 chuckle but 3324742d8a held it bd06e34059 in. Some people were said 3a005a7a29 to understand words even 7353815529 in their sleep—perhaps Bonida 74226bde86 was one of them.  757912b04a946302

When Girion lifted her d984d33a98 upper garment, he was 3a3920fb95 relieved to find that ed4255a7f8 her back was free 3ddc2311c2 of wounds. He hoped that 156ef1ecb6 when they met da25753e7a again a week a3acae8e26 later, there would b6060d0b10 be no new 655ab06d63 injuries on her d8e21e027c body. Still, despite the 4671fe4ef3 lack of wounds, 1ba463d236 he deliberately applied 0715373ffb the ointment to db7605dd83 her back.  69f6b6c36e73d9ea

For some reason, e9351ff466 the softness of 95ac7b9aec her skin felt dac38f0bbf almost intoxicating.0a577d34e0b38236

When her skirt ca33a8b31d rolled up, Bonida 1c66d74f1f felt her throat 429b070a65 go dry. She was so 6c436e8773 conscious of how d489873a82 far Girion was d3a3bb894f going to pull 413b96e117 up her skirt. It seemed 2a8baeaac6 that he 6ed4cf6106 had no 56f0a87c8d hesitation in 847582d54b doing something 7ebedf0c82 promiscuous with 27b97e2903 women, judging 252e8377c5 by how dd74d6ee48 he would c618993993 lift up 8b09a97b42 a woman’s 92e21f336e clothes so 70a8bdda11 calmly and 3459714455 check underneath. How many women had d1d4d7e94b Girion been with to 2cd382bef6 be so shameless? She almost frowned.8737d420b83e6489

When the cold air 994ae0ffa6 suddenly touched her below, 6e83d4ef3b her awkward spot flinched c359f9ae7f against her will. It was a part 444130fea4 of her body, but c62c8743c4 now it felt completely d1ee41ee7c unfamiliar, like someone else’s. She couldn’t believe 05bf92ec02 it, but her 599d2e1596 skirt hung over c93e2d2738 her belly button. She was dizzy, 5669551352 wondering if he 59c66a8a89 would see her b6402fa721 lower body.988c04544d605914

Soon, she could feel da1e9940a2 his rough gaze persistently 69a918f08c reaching below her. He was so blatant 98d20a7a37 that he had no 1a6a81b7c7 intention of hiding it. His persistent gaze 46fa150974 reached every single 62201d549b part of Bonida’s 7ea99c253b skin.cba12cd71d523ece

Girion was frozen like d457338c7f a stone, staring only aab79b9462 at her without blinking. She thought she 7481cf2e7e heard his low 4d6c9bddf1 breathing a moment 34abc8b47c ago, but now e94e41a7cf the surroundings were 64e4c35aa5 eerily quiet. His throat 8aca973d1d rippled in 8aec08256e the suffocating c41584ba9a silence.eb296768eb21a415

With her eyes closed, her senses naturally became more sensitive. Since she was focusing all my attention on Girion, she could feel every little action of his. If a gaze could carry weight, Girion’s would have been intense and suffocating, thick with focus and intent.15c34a95a65f29ca

Bonida hadn’t noticed it 1dffdfdf50 because Camille, the maid, 348e4b2d22 didn’t look at her 135f45f683 body much. However, all of a f2bb4c565b sudden, she was concerned f96f9adf4f about each and every d3063446c1 wound. After he put medicine 98a5411416 on the bruises on 1f34572d25 her arms, she became 0736bfe927 sensitive. What did it look db0b183d4a like in his eyes? Does he think 62b2cb084b that she was 44a8537b14 badly hurt, or 5e709f7f1f that someone had 3b407faff6 beaten her repeatedly? Either way, it 48805b0448 was not pleasant.d9516e6ed635bf7b

She barely managed to 135f4adbbc give off a decent 871aa466aa impression, trying to appear 9829ec5fcc at her best. However, whether it was 374805c76c during dinner or now, 80ff7327a5 she couldn’t seem to cfa14b3e3a do anything right. When Bonida was silently 026af4f2c9 struggling, on the verge 2bed228039 of tears, he finally c4412af945 moved. What was he up 46db1a7f21 to this time? As she braced 63956a6ad5 herself, her mind 7634b127bd racing to come 342afd781f up with an b9cd103948 appropriate response, she 01c9d6f3af could feel the c948aac85b tension building.3c425890cf62df36

You want 4ca695771b me to c2c54701fc show you e29284d4e5 my back?Oh, it ac24f9db2f seemed like 4102164eac he was 43973a9e4d trying to a3551c2fa6 check if 55db0349cd there were 7ebe0aae8e any wounds d9001f6b86 on her 9eeb87abc6 back. If she showed him 1d222a33ff her back quickly, this dcdbba5fe1 ridiculous situation would end. Bonida desperately pretended to 99e0de7c38 be asleep and turned e6bd69924e around. At that a34aeda680 moment, a a896975f6e slightly absurd 303adf00d1 laugh was 509c5d1a05 heard.87e6727ba9b8d465

Did it 7cb713e07e seem too 23f565416a theatrical?She had d423fdc012 no acting 9a469da1ac skills, so 34092d1b67 her awkwardness 4b08e0731d might actually d46fa26648 hide her c515de7164 own shame. Perhaps that’s ec5fd8fad8 why it 2cad8ceb39 wasn’t surprising 253ecc1b91 when a 556db2a03a warm hand a3457b55c9 touched her f881dff843 back. His long 11f0aca82e fingers gently acfbcd800d passed over ca211bb72a each spot, b4dcfe2e8e and it a5728a2bf3 seemed there f207072b76 were wounds 970742a3c9 in places d31257e342 she hadn’t d8db5fe68c even noticed.2eee066a4578970c

She had no idea 592abed0da that she had so 3feb5a27ea many wounds on her 52c6f807b6 body. It was surprising that 2e9d5b078f Camille didn’t show it ec6f0427e5 at all. In fact, Bonida didn’t 933c178eaf look around her body. She was used to 7897b4c2d7 getting hit and she f786b986cc always had wounds. At some point, 960bca4822 she gave up. No matter how much 8651bcce08 she struggled, it was b2a433a7cb just a reality that 9778df9eac she couldn’t escape.d17f85089fb94521

Though it was excessive, she tried to understand Girion’s actions, realizing that his concern for her came from worry. After all, the basic terms of their contract stated that he could touch and claim her at any time. When treating the curse, he was not bound by limits on frequency or location. 3db5791ef8559263

But still, this was her treatment, wasn’t it? It didn’t have anything to do with him personally. Bonida, despite the absurdity of the situation, tried to make sense of it in her own way.3e97995905b568da

Girion, after applying the 59eb9df88d medicine as he desired, 8c77c7f7d4 stepped away from the 2417d194ac bed. The room had 4d76c467a5 several doors, each 828a10953e leading to a cd54ac7f00 personal office, reception 31306c3fc8 room, dressing room, 72673360b4 and bathroom. Everything neatly adjacent cef54c0802 to the main 1266d5b045 room. It was almost as 5cda66bcea though everything one could 232ad7f3e4 need was perfectly placed, fb8c78f867 as if walking through d2b1481a1c a bustling marketplace.38e384b40d1cd999

Not knowing where Girion d86af90243 might have gone, Bonida 77e2b4bc73 just held her breath 871385254a and waited. If she opened her ab79eda27f eyes and made eye 00fae39ca5 contact with him, who 399b7128a4 was just coming out 8aff8b469c after finishing his work, ba4c598c96 it would be a 4ca2472791 big deal. She would be caught 89c119a3e6 pretending to be asleep b2a39e6356 all this time. be66e7b4393e16eb

She couldn’t even look d572f77961 at his face, which c6d32b4b74 had been staring at 5a04f484de her until just a 9ffd2594b5 moment ago. When he 7c0fa880a8 reappeared a da53bcfbf2 little later, 09025cad92 he carefully 48cc50c3fa climbed onto 9ce07bf2f4 the bed.5e5bbb733ea27e14

His arm ce940a660e went between 80d3eee580 Bonida’s nape. He carefully adjusted her fb1233ec76 head as if his 053e1f9750 arm was going to ffff6b491a be her pillow. Soon, she heard him eaa3924f33 catch his breath for c2bcd5fd62 a moment, as if 669a0768cb she had done as 4083416f48 he wanted. Then, Girion ab84ba5632 pressed against c692fab203 her back. He was f55d59273d so tightly c454b81be1 pressed that 5b223af149 every breath 31589d5486 he exhaled e6b926e7d2 was transmitted 4ad20c726e to Bonida’s 373bbf2a37 back.a53e0a2477c2174e

Only after cc844c305b smelling his 1cc2e9aecc warm body 415f45a7fa temperature and 0ef412159f the scent 706eb94eb2 of the cd326ac680 same bath b68813226a salts she b7a6fabec3 had used 5228c264b4 did she 4667d32dd8 realize that bce1492991 he had a3b2926c3a washed up.Then, wait, what is e083185267 this? 8e609fc430685e99

Something very hard 5d12935b65 touched her. It was heavy 1d7762afcd and somehow seemed da55d402e1 to move slowly. Bonida was 9a4971cf67 about to 634c68ada4 fall asleep b30a7fb227 as she 0a5cb01d52 wondered what 700bbd4407 was touching 19f8569a93 her body. She opened her 45f17d8148 eyes with a a050847aa2 start when she 2e15ba93c7 realized what it 4d38719be5 was.6c7158efe4ae62ac

Fortunately, Girion 7375cfef58 was hugging bd78e41439 her back 60d3e5559d so she d8501afc1c didn’t get a2b180f241 caught by 6a7c678862 him. Regardless, she was 996c47b42b so surprised but 62b1c93344 tried to close 5447787cc8 her eyes43f2e8dc06d1bb98

I’m crazy, I’m crazy.She had been pretending fe161c3605 to be half asleep 70a62e8e87 all this time, but d8bfee8441 she was so surprised 83f05ffa88 that her heart sank. She was shocked 53407d9daa by his body c4fad3d275 touching her for 0a65a38fb4 a moment. However, the b64dafd014 embarrassment that e1a1f94f90 came as e5146183e6 she opened 800b6d5776 her eyes 6af96c504a was greater 95688f0c09 than the 2ef6d7cfec thought of d514684337 him touching 0061f8530a her body. Then, her mind 6f0ebab568 was quickly set 469b00ee07 ablaze. c3e17ffe0d00fcf4

Ha-, I’ve lived too 2d89dae781 long.She muttered something that 0fbbfa5121 old people would say 9c348fc915 inwardly, then pretended to 9641f3fea5 be asleep as she 4bdd9c8234 slightly pushed her butt c8d4138fde forward. Naturally, the gap between 09f1f1c1d9 them closed as he 532b98da40 simply filled it. His arms 749e89eab5 tightening around 49bdcdc874 her became a7efe552a9 more intense 2495e3ab41 than before. At this point, it 57d07164e7 seemed like she should b60abd701e just give up. From the moment adb2a78118 she signed the 517e6ef92a contract, everything was f9bdefb2d8 meant to unfold d0a4bd57e2 regardless of her fa5ea45902 will for the 12d3c362c2 next three years. 46f3efa58238e632

However, she never expected him to approach so actively and blatantly. Anyway, there’s no doubt that he had a lot of experience with women.23b84ecdad908ae7
