Chapter 141: Get Down And Dirty

Why do women fight their fellow gender when their lover cheats on them instead of holding the man responsible for his actions? Islinda decided she was not going to be one of those women. It was no wonder she forced her expression to remain neutral on her way to the dining table even though she was sizzling in anger inwardly.

Such disrespect! If only she could lay her hands on Aldric, she would kick him in the spot where a lady shouldn’t mention, hit him till he has a black eye, and then strangulate him knowing he wouldn’t die. It would be enough punishment for playing with her feelings!

No, not her feelings, but pride. She had no feelings for Aldric, nothing at all. She was just so mad that she needed an outlet for the feelings inside. Unfortunately, there was none. Eveyone in the Fae realm was stronger than her.

"We are here, my lady," Aurelia announced, calling her attention on time because Islinda was an inch away from bumping into the door.

Islinda gasped slightly and stepped back. She had been so distracted with her thoughts she did not watch where she was going and would have been a disaster. They healed the bruise on her neck, would they have to heal the bump that would form on her face too? No, Aldric would probably make fun of her first, that was for sure.

When Aurelia pushed the large oak open, Islinda expected that Aldric would still be busy in bed with Rosalind and she would have to wait for him to arrive - although Islinda planned to eat the food all by herself. But the Fae in question was present at the dining table and impeccably dressed as usual.

He wasn’t alone, Rosalind stood at the corner of the room ready to serve them and Islinda’s anger shifted to guilt. She was supposed to help make Aldric fall for her, instead, he kissed her and she kissed him back. Islinda had no excuse, she failed Rosalind. But her mind was made up now, she would give it her all to bring them together. It was for her benefit anyway.

Thanks to her promise, Islinda who had planned to sit as far away from Aldric as possible decided she would stay close to him, a plan forming in her head. But before she could get to him, the bastard decided to open his mouth and vomit nonsense as usual.

"Someone is happy this morning, I wonder, why is that?" He asked with a knowing look in his eyes that reminded her of what happened last night.

"I wonder too," Islinda answered with indifference, keeping her expression impassive. Aldric loves to tease and get a reaction out of her, she would not give him the satisfaction this time.

"Oh." He said, a grin appearing, "I thought the both of us knew that or do you want another demonstration?"

Islinda panicked, her heart almost leaping out of her chest when she stared at Rosalind listening to their exchange. Aldric must really want to give her a heart attack. Islinda had a feeling Rosalind must suspect something happened between them last night, but admitting it in front of her was another thing. It sounded disrespectful and made Islinda feel like a home wrecker in a budding relationship.

She gulped, staring between Rosalind and Aldric, "I came here to have breakfast, not start another argument with you, my prince."

Aldric gave her a long look before tutting, "I looked forward to the argument, but a nice decision, I would have won anyway ." He declared with pride tall enough to reach the heavens.

If only he knew Islinda gave up easily because of Rosalind else they would have battled with words till their breakfast ran cold.

He relaxed in his seat as Islinda walked up to him, his brows lifting in surprise when she took the seat closest to him but said nothing. If anything, Aldric picked up his glass of wine and downed it, his tongue jutting out to lick his lower lips slowly and Islinda captured every move.

It reminded her of last night when he pressed her body to the bed and his tongue gained entrance into her mouth, sucking and teasing hers. Fuck! Islinda nearly jumped at the thought, her face growing hot and when she looked at Aldric, there was that devious grin at the corner of his lips that told her he knew what he had done.

Bastard! Islinda’s hands curled into fists on her lap. If only she could control her body’s reaction to him because Aldric was hell-bent on seducing her. But if there’s anything Islinda learned from last night, it was the fact that Aldric felt nothing for her. All of this was a game and a source of entertainment to him. She couldn’t get carried away with the feeling. He was still a monster with a beautiful face.

Once seated, Aurelia and the others began to serve the food, including Rosalind, however, Islinda was more immersed in watching Aldric drink. What type of wine was that? What was special about it?

"What are you curious about now, little bird?"

"Little bird?" She scowled at his new name for her.

"As curious as a bird, an adorable little bird." He laughed at his own joke while Islinda gave him strange looks.

Yes, he was definitely mad too.

Aldric’s laughter ceased and he asked her, "Tell me then, what do you want to know, Islinda?"

Islinda in question tried not to shiver at the way Aldric pronounced her name, his voice low and sexily husky. He did not use her name often, but when he did, it felt like he was romancing it. No, she refuses to fall under his charm!

She cleared her throat, "Don’t you ever get drunk? You have been drinking since last night. " Either he had a high tolerance or Fae didn’t get drunk. She needed that information because it would help in her plan.

Imagine getting him drunk and he slept for hours giving her time to steal the medallion from him and escaping. The plan was realistic and one that she could easily carry out.

"Why?" He asked, leaning towards her with that arrogant demeanor of his, "Do you want to get me drunk so you can do things to my body?" He wiggled his eyebrows suggestively.

Islinda closed her eyes, her patience almost running out as she huffed irritably. She opened them, scowling at him and his closeness, "Must your words always allude to sex? Why is your mind so dirty?"

He answered, "Of darling, who doesn’t like to get down and dirty?"
