Chapter 57: Don’t peek okay ?

Ahmar watched Bree’s exaggerated action as she refused to let him touch her and for once he wasn’t offended instead he laughed out loud as he said, " What are you thinking? I am talking about normal sleep—- just lying next to each other, you don’t need to refuse so exaggeratedly, you know? It’s going to hurt my heart."

Bree stiffened as she looked at him with a confused expression before straightening up and walking closer to Ahmar who was lying on the bed. " What do you mean by that? Why would you ask me to just ’sleep’ with you?" She couldn’t see the reason behind Ahmar’s request, why would he use such a good opportunity to just lay next to him? He can ask for his military medallion back, of course, she wouldn’t have given without strings of terms and conditions attached but still—- why this and not the medallion?

" Because of what happened today," he answered honestly as he clenched his fingers ever so slightly. Before this, he only saw the traitors getting tortured but never ever thought that there would be a day he will have to go through the same pain as the traitors. Only now did he realise how much he needed the title and the attention that he once took for granted, Ahmar raised his head and looked at Bree before smiling somewhat painfully, " If I had your backing then the reapers would have never thought about raising their hands on me since they are loyal to you, Bree. If I had your protection they would have left me alone but they know that I do not have your protection anymore and that was why they were so decisive in their actions as they tied me up and whipped me like I was some sort of criminal."

He raised his hand and held Bree’s in his. " Just stay with tonight, so everyone thinks that I was able to gain your favour back then I wouldn’t have to worry about anything. Just one, if you want then you can go back to ignoring me as you did before but just for once give me what I want."

When he saw that Bree was still hesitating, he decided to use his final card that he didn’t want to——" I swear I will not touch you." He promised with a determined voice. " I will not touch you no matter how much my beast urges me to, no matter how much the mating bond entice me to take you —— I will not lay a finger on you, I swear this upon my honour as a knight."

When he said it like this, Bree had no choice but to agree.

After all, he was swearing upon his pride as a Knight, surely he will not break his oath?

" Fine," she finally gave in, he wasn’t asking for much and this was something that she owed him anyway. As he said —- she can go back to ignoring him once she was done showing ’favour’ to him.

With that thought in mind, she walked to the wardrobe room that was next to the bed and opened the door before going inside and picking up a night dress that was decent enough for her to cover herself as for the ones that were completely indecent, she didn’t even look in their direction.

The previous Queen was really —— her taste was really ’unique’

Even after looking for a dress for a long time, she couldn’t find a decent one.

In the end, she picked up a red mid-thigh nightgown that wasn’t as racy as others and wasn’t as sheer and tear-prone either.

If possible she would have sent someone to get the ones she had in her own wardrobe but Bree found it a bit too embarrassing. To send someone to get her a pair of lingerie? That was just too much! So, she just picked up what she could and hid her assets as well as she could —— in fact, she wasn’t the shy lady who didn’t want to show her skin or would feel embarrassed if she was to wear something like lingeries that were hanging in the wardrobe.

She has worn things that were even more alluring than these but the thing was that she has worn them for herself and not for anyone. With Ahmar lying in the room, she couldn’t help but be a little more conscious of his presence and thus, the embarrassment.

Once she was done picking the nightdress that she wanted to wear, she walked out of the wardrobe and headed to the washroom to take a bath but before going inside she turned to look at Ahmar and said, " Don’t peek, all right?"

Ahmar raised a brow as he smiled reassuringly. " Don’t worry, Bree ... I might be a lot of things but I am definitely not a peeping tom."

Bree nodded and then turned around but then she hesitated and repeated, " Don’t or else I will leave, you got it?"

" I got it as clear as the night, Bree."

" Okay." Pause. " You really won’t, right?"

" My dear Bree, you better go inside and take a bath while I am still in a good mood or else if I changed my mind then it will be troublesome."

" But you swore! And that’s a knight’s oath!"

" I swore not to touch you but I didn’t swear that I will not look at you," when she narrowed her eyes, he sighed. " Look at me, I am still recovering where the hell will I get the energy to peep at you? I might be a little flirty but I too care about my health more than anything else."

Bree took a look at his injuries and nodded before going inside the bathhouse that was attached to Ahmar’s room.

Seeing her go, Ahmar smiled. " Why has she gotten this adorable, now I want to keep her tied to me even more." He scratched his chin and then crossed his arms behind his head, deliciously stretching his pectoral muscles. " Now, how should I seduce her?"
