Villains also get Second chance

Cassius pov

"He.. if he wanted he could have beaten you and thrown you out of the palace. He just tore your clothes. And what have you done?!!! you have wounded him in the torso and even on his hand, do you have any dignity? Hurting the heir of the palace then living there?" she snarled as she moved, took her clothes and went to the bath, leaving me right there, as if i was her servant or something trifling!

I was wearing the clothes that did not even fit me and standing in a kid nursery with all the pink plushies and flowery nonsense. Was this really her room?! This soft room did not match her spicy personality at all!

I don't know what came into me when I continued to look at her bath area and before my mind could register I was already walking towards it.

When i reached in  the first thing i saw was it was majestic. Her parents splurged well on her, the room was painted in red and gold giving it a sensual vibe much different from her bedroom.

The room had a strong smell of roses and lavender. It was wide enough to cover a large area of her chamber with a clothing section and a large pool, bath tub. My eyes were roaming when it snapped back to the pool.

She was bathing there already, her clothes were on the side in a heap. And I could see her back, the water slipping from her wet hairs falling over her bare back passing through the slender neck, making me breathless. She took breath and her back moved, the water drop shone like a pearl on her glowing skin, it was so damn seductive that my breath turned rugged.

Her porcelain skin was gleaming in the rather dark room and before I could register anything I was already walking towards her as if a demon had taken control of my body.

But her words broke the charm. She looked back and her eyes widened.  She was so red and breathless. Her dazed expression, as she slowly opened her eyes and looked up at me, made me freeze for a moment.

My heartbeat rose and she dived herself in the water only letting her slender and rosy neck out yet it felt so damn sensuous, i swear my heartbeat turned erratic just by looking at her face. The more she tried to hide the more desire swept in my heart, trying to see more than there was to offer.

But then she took my name and broke the charm. Only then did I realise it could be a scandalous thing for her. 

I moved and looked around, keeping my gaze away from her when she shouted to leave me but I ignored. Not because I wanted to embarrass her further, but no matter what I tried the image of her back in that pool was mesmerized in my eyes, I could not bear to leave. Hoping that she would immerse in bathing again and I could see a glimpse of her. My eyes widened as I realised how i have turned into a pervert suddenly. 

I could hear her pleading all the time when at last she relented to go out. I nodded but then she said something that created a whole new level of hurricane in my body and mind.

"Cassius i.. I am not wearing clothes. I beg you to leave the room." her words brought my eyes back to her body which was further hidden yet her flushed red face and hot breathes were enough to burn my whole body, my face covered with a thin layer of sweat as her seductive eyes met mine. I gulped. But could not break my eyes away from her face. 

As if a spell was created, I was bound to it, bound to her, bound to the moment we were sharing here. Now all i wanted was to hold her in my arms and touch her luscious skin that was teasing me. 

To kiss those seductive lips that were  tempting me and to keep her in my arms until I touch every nook and corner of her body with my lips. The heat was increasing in the whole body but at certain parts it had started paining. 

It was the second time that I have lost control looking at her. Water and her was a deadly combination that could break my resolve just in the blink of eye!!

I wanted her, there was no doubt that i moved towards her to share the pool she was hiding herself in, but just then.

"Cassius" she took my name with no love, care, seduction but pleadingly. As if she would cry if I took a step further and her fearful eyes broke my reverie.

What the hell was I going to do! Was I really going to force myself on her again?!! 

I shook my head to get rid of the lust that had colluded my mind.

"I beg you to go," she said in a wet tone and I nodded. The minor teasing had already gone too far. I never wanted to make her cry again. 

'She loved someone else, she loved someone else' i chanted in my mind to bring the sanity back that was last a few moments ago.

"I am going, and you can finish your bath first, I will wait for you to come out," I said and turned back when she nodded.

I cursed myself again and again but before i could go out, i heard a loud sound of thump and then a scream

"Aahhhhh" 

I panicked and turned back only to find her fallen on the floor. But for a moment I stopped breathing. As if air had stopped moving and time had stopped still. She was there in just her undergarments laying on the floor in a wet body. 

It was so much to bear, so much hard for my poor heart that it stilled. As if life had stolen from my body and moved to another realm.
