“Get in..” Rhys said as he walked over to the driver’s seat.
Naya watched in surprise as he walked over to the driver’s seat, he just left her halfway.
Was she really expecting him to open the car door for her?
Of course yes! That’s what a gentleman does.
“Are you waiting for something?” Rhys asked, turning to look at Naya as she stood rooted to the spot, staring at him expectantly.
Naya’s cheeks flushed pink, realizing she was expecting more from him than he was willing to give.
“Aren’t you supposed to open the door for me? That’s what gentlemen do” she asked, her tone a bit defensive.
Rhys raised an eyebrow. “I’m not a chauffeur,” he said, a smirk playing on his lips.
“And I’m not a gentleman either..” he added.
“Clearly not,” Naya retorted, rolling her eyes. She made her way over to the car door and pulled it open herself, a little more roughly than necessary. She was starting to grow tired of his arrogance.
As she climbed into the passenger seat, she couldn’t help but be impressed by the luxurious interior of the Bugatti. The black leather seats, the state-of-the-art dashboard, the smell of newness and wealth it was all too much to take in.
Rhys slid into the driver’s seat and glanced at her.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
“Seat belt? Or do you want me to do that for you too?” He grilled in amusement.
“Don’t be ridiculous,” Naya snapped, reaching for her seat belt and yanking it over her lap.
“I can take care of myself.”
Rhys let out a low chuckle. “Of course you can. I’d never suggest otherwise.” His eyes glinted with mischief as he turned the ignition and the car roared to life. “Ready to see the sights?”
Naya let out a sigh. He was infuriating, but she had to admit, he was also kind of thrilling.
“Whatever..” she mouthed looking away from him and focused her eyes outside instead.
“Oh, look, someone’s pouting,” Rhys teased, pulling out of the garage and onto the open road.
“Are you sure you’re up for a trip into town? I’m starting to think you might prefer a quiet day inside.”
Naya pursed her lips, refusing to give him the satisfaction of a response. But inside, she was relishing the challenge, the adrenaline of their back-and-forth. She’d never been one to back down from a fight, and she certainly wasn’t going to start now.
“Shall we? I never asked you to take me out” she replied nonchalantly as Rhys chuckled dryly.
“It seems you’ll like to be naked all the days of your life…” he deadpanned as he looked at her.
“And you know you I can make sure of that, imagine the embarrassment when..” his voice trailed off as his eyes traveled downwards.
Naya immediately began to gasp as he looked downwards, he was talking about her unshaven spot and the fact he made her trash all her clothes.
Rhys’ suggestive comments sent a wave of heat rushing to Naya’s face. She knew that he was playing with her, using her insecurities against her, but she couldn’t help the way her stomach clenched.
“You wouldn’t dare,” she challenged, not wanting to let him win. “You may be an arrogant, insufferable…” Her words trailed off as she struggled to come up with the perfect insult.
“Go ahead,” Rhys urged, his smirk widening.
“Let it all out and see what I can do?” He asked, the road was narrow and free, with high mountains around, he barely looked at the road, his eyes were focused on Naya instead.
“I think we can try it?” Naya pursed her lips.
“Those guards wouldn’t mind going down there” she challenged him and Rhys’s jaw immediately tightened.
If there was something certain about his characteristics, he was possessive.
The car screeched to a halt, and Naya’s heart skipped a beat as Rhys turned to face her. His eyes blazed with intensity, and she could almost see the possessiveness radiating off him.
“Don’t.” The word was a growl, low and dangerous.
“Don’t even joke about that. You belong to me, Naya. Do you understand?”
Naya stared back at him, a mixture of fear and defiance flashing through her.
“You’re the one suggesting I go naked, I was only talking about the outcome of it!” She defended herself as Rhys hissed in anger.
“Outcome, my ass!” Rhys snarled, his grip tightening on the steering wheel.
“You think I’m stupid enough to believe you want those guards to see you naked?” His eyes narrowed.
“Or was it just a ploy to get a rise out of me?”
Naya’s mouth went dry. She had played with fire, and now the flames were licking at her skin. But she wasn’t about to back down.
“Maybe it was,” she shot back at him.
“Don’t get me angry..” he warned, looking away from her, as he turned in the car.
Naya clenched her jaw. She hated feeling helpless, like a pawn in Rhys’ game. But she also knew that provoking him wasn’t the smartest move. After all, he was a dangerous vampire with seemingly limitless power and he had magic.
She stayed silent as they drove further, the tension in the car growing thicker by the minute.
Finally, they pulled into a parking lot outside a high-end a huge mall.
“Out,” Rhys commanded.
“We’ve got shopping to do.”
Rhys got out of the car as Naya did the same.
“Come here..” he stretched out his hand for her, which she took.
“Behave more better pumpkin and you’ll definitely enjoy being with me..” he whispered to her ear and Naya wanted to ask if he was a bipolar patient because he had serious mood swings, he was angry a while ago.
“And what if I don’t want to enjoy being with you?” Naya challenged, raising her chin defiantly. “What if I just want to be free from you?”
Rhys laughed, a low, mirthless sound that sent shivers down her spine.
“Oh, Naya, don’t be so naive. You think I would just let you go?” He shook his head, his eyes darkening.
Rhys’ eyes flashed with irritation, his lips pressing into a thin line.
“You’re nothing without me, do you understand? I’m the only reason you’re still alive, still breathing, and still have a beating heart, I can issue a command and you’ll be killed along with that sister of yours”
Naya felt the blood drain from her face. He was right, and she knew it. They were alive because of Rhys.
“I’m sorry..” she muttered though she meant none of it.
“Good. Come on my little minx, we have a lot of shopping to do..” he smiled at her leading her into the mall.
