Bewitched His Soul

Enzo silently observed the myriad of emotions on her face. She was being very transparent, making it easy to see her dilemma.

"But I don't think I love you," Hazel started slowly. Enzo's face darkened, and he gripped her jaw, making her eyes focus only on him.

"Didn't I warn you not to say something I didn't like?" Enzo growled. Hazel tried to move, but he placed a hand on her waist, making her unable to take a step further.

"Why do you keep on making me angry?" Enzo said as he slowly traced his finger down her arm.

"Ahh, tell me," Enzo asked while Hazel was trembling, not knowing what he would do in the next second.

"Enzo, you are so scary," Hazel murmured. He felt her shivering in his arms, so he leaned towards her, his forehead touching hers.

"Then it's wise not to oppose me," Enzo threatened while she gulped. They made Enzo from a different mold. His idea of romance was totally unique compared to others. All his life, he followed the principle that if you want something, then you take it, no questions asked, no answers required.

He followed the same motto in love. He had taken a liking to Hazel, and he was going to take her, not caring about anything else.

Enzo had been waiting for so many years to make his move, so this instance right now was in itself a miracle. Maybe it was because it was Hazel's sheer luck or maybe because she grew up with him, which made him hesitate to force her all those years.

But now, his last ounce of patience got broken, and he was like a mad man possessed, wanting to drown in Hazel's love.

"Why are you suddenly behaving like this? Is it because of Tom?" Hazel felt Enzo was rude to Tom during lunch for no reason.

"How dare you say his name!" Enzo snapped. Hazel saw the anger in his eyes and knew she had touched on a forbidden topic.

"Never utter another man's name in my presence," Enzo commanded while Hazel stood there silently without blinking her eyes.

"Is it clear?" Enzo asked while Hazel nodded her head, not fully registering what she was promising.

Even though she heard Enzo was a very cruel person in the business world, this is the first time she witnessed a totally different side of him. It will take her some time to come to terms with his other personality. She could only guess he had always been so cold and dominating, he was hiding it better all these years.

"Use words, say yes, Hazel," Enzo instructed.

"Yes…," Hazel stammered.

Enzo relaxed, satisfied with her answer. His hand resting at her waist tried to move inside her top, but she held his hand, pleading with her eyes for him to stop.

He stopped his actions but suddenly put his head in the crook of her neck, inhaling her sweet smell. He felt blissful. God, what kind of torture is this?

Will it be a sin if he takes her here and now, against the tree? She will cry and never forgive him, or her parents may come out hearing her loud cries, and they would never allow their precious daughter to be with him.

Enzo felt worried about the former. He could not bear the thought of hurting her, and he wanted her first time to be special and memorable. Whenever she was near him, her scent tempted him. He wanted to take her in his arms so much and get lost in her sweet fragrance. Her skin was so soft, like a newborn baby's skin, as he rubbed his jaw on her collarbone.

"Ouch! It hurts." Hazel's skin got pricked by his stubble. Enzo stopped rubbing her neck but did not move from his position.

"When will you put an end to my misery?" Enzo murmured. How many cold showers did he have to take because of her? And it looks like this has to continue for a few more days.

Enzo moved back and noticed that the part where he touched had turned red. Just a small action could turn her so red, so he could just imagine what would happen when he marked every inch of her body. Oh, he cannot wait for that day. What a delicious treat it will be.

Hazel noticed he had a smug smile on his face, not knowing that he was mentally undressing her. "What if I don't love you?" she asked.

Enzo narrowed his eyes towards her and grunted, "Then you will learn to love me."

"I will teach you or…," Enzo moved towards her ear. "Maybe seduce you," He said in a sensual tone and bit her ear.

Hazel bit her lip to stop making any sound and clutched his shirt tightly. Enzo noticed her flushed face and chuckled, "My sweet innocent Hazel, only I am allowed to corrupt you." 

He traced his middle finger down her neck, to her chest, then landed on her navel. Hazel's breathing became heavy. Even though he was touching her over her clothes, it felt too much for Hazel, who was a virgin in every sense.

Her father and brother were truly protective of her while she was growing up and did not let any boy approach her. They feared someone may take advantage of her because of their wealth or might cheat the naïve Ambrosio princess.

No one suspected that while they were guarding her against all the wolves around them, a vulture was residing in their circle. He who had stamped her as his territory a long way back. He was good at fooling others, maybe because no one would ever think of such an odd pairing, even in their dreams.

Enzo was about to continue, but he heard someone calling her name from afar. Hazel pushed him away, afraid they may get caught.

He frowned, not liking that she discarded him when someone came. But kept quiet since he had already dropped such a huge declaration on her. It will take time to get her adjusted to his way of doing things.

He smiled, thinking when they have an eternity, he did not need to worry.

Hazel quickly ran inside the house while Enzo followed her slowly. She refused any help when the maid asked whether she wanted any refreshments. She went to the staircase to go to her room.

"Hazel," Enzo called, and she stood rooted to her spot. She looked around to see that everyone was busy, and they thought he was just casually calling her. Hazel was relieved as she turned to look at him.

"Always answer my call by the first ring," Enzo ordered in a low tone that was only audible to her.

Hazel nodded her head and ran to her room. Enzo watched her intensely until she was out of his sight. He was in quite a good mood today, as he had fulfilled the first step in their relationship.
