CHAPTER 11

"What?" she heard a low and delighted chuckle, rendering blood to come and rush up to her face in embarrassment. She was about to say an excuse but before she could, he had already spoken. "Wait there, I'll get you tampons. Feel free to take a shower while you wait for me, love."

"All right..." she answered and in a matter of minutes, she heard the door was opened and then closed.

Allison drew a deep breath before taking off the heavy comforter, she folded it and placed it on the sink. Her teeth clenched together and went stiff when the draughtiness embraced her.

Slowly, she stepped into the shower and turned on the shower knob, the cold waters rained upon her, touching her skin, enfolding her cold body, saturating her. She looked at herself through the steamed glass and touched the juncture of her neck, the part that Hades had been nipping and kissing that he would almost eat it. She felt bare, vulnerable, and new, so new. 'Probably because I'm not a virgin anymore,' she thought despondently.

She heaved a heavy sigh and grabbed the liquid soap. She smudged it on her hands, and then to her body, envisioning that the soap's removing Hades' sweet and congenial kisses and the prints of his hands that were roaming around her body. The mint scent and cool sensation made her feel relaxed and thought with her eyes closed that it's nice to have a shower like this for a while.

‘After taking a shower,' she turned off the shower before stepping out. She looked around, finding for a bathrobe, and found one hanging near the sink. She wore it and strode to the door to open it but before she could, a loud knock was heard.

"Allison?" Hades called.

"Yes, I'm here," she answered.

"Here's what you need," he said and she opened the door slightly and a large hand, holding two paper bags entered. She gladly took it and said thanks before politely closing the door again.

She opened the first paper bag and revealed countless packs of tampons with different colors, sizes, and brands. She looked at them with aghast, she never thought that he would buy her tampons by himself. He could have asked his mother or sister or the housemaid. She opened the second paper bag and divulged three pairs of undergarments with different designs, it was conspicuous that they were from Victoria's Secret, a spaghetti strap top with a print that said: "I Don't Give A Shit" and high waist jeans. They were all branded.

She never pondered that he would give her such things. 'Mr. de Vries would have probably given more than these to other women who were willing to go to bed with him,' she thought as she pulled out a certain tampon and undergarment. Hastily, she wore the given clothes and left. She gasped in surprise when she saw Hades waiting for her outside the door. He was wearing pajamas earlier but now, he was in a black-fitting T-shirt with matching jeans.

"You scared me," she said, clutching her chest.

"Do I?" he asked, an amused grin crept on his face. "Come, love, have breakfast, I'm very sure you're famished." He offered and she nodded in response, his hand landed on her waist as he guided her to the bed.

Allison sat down on the edge of the bed as he placed the breakfast tray in front of her. She looked at the scrumptious fare before her. 'They're mouthwatering,' she thought. Picking up the spoon and fork, she began digging in. A low chuckle soon came across her ears, making her look up and meet his smiling grey eyes.

Those stormy orbs, she thought, were mesmerizing. Realizing what she was doing, she felt discomfited and hung her head low with a red face.

"Hey, love." A thumb held her chin and lifted her face, making Allison's mossy green eyes meet the same smiling stormy grey orbs once again. She gulped, feeling the intensity of their gazes, her flustered green eyes against his calm, loving grey ones. Her mind was full of thoughts, what she should do, panicking about what was to happen next but deep inside, she knew that all she should just do was to stare back at him and feel his warm passion embrace her. She saw his lips gape open and his sweet words made her fluster even more.

"Please, love, don't hide your face. It's such a shame if you hide such a stunning face."

"Thanks for the ride, Mr. d..." Hades cut Allison off before she could continue. "Hades," his cold grey eyes piercing at her, making the red-haired woman grow stiff.

"H...Hades," she couldn't help but stammer as she repeated and her ebbed fear grew back again. His enigmatic and ominous presence was already enough for her to cower in fear what more was facing him near?

Her eyes widened in bewilderment when his lips etched into a smile as his eyes looked at her lovingly like she was the most beautiful woman he had seen in his whole life. 'He looks better when he smiles,' she unconsciously thought.

"I'll see you around then," she said and was about to open the car's door when a strong hand grabbed and turned her around. She felt a pair of warm, soft lips touched hers.

Allison's whole body had gone weak as Hades wrapped his arms around her instinctively, possessively. The intolerable sensation of his lips against hers was making her fall under his menacing spell. She knew it was wrong to let him touch her like this, to kiss like this, to let herself give in to him but the sensations were overwhelming that it was making her crazy.

When they pulled away, she opened the door, got on her feet outside, and scampered as fast as she could without looking back at him.
