Villains also get Second chance

Cassius pov

In the vast green field, the horse was galloping. The wind was playing with her hair, as it was freely flowing and playing on my chest. I could feel the itch on my hands to hold her hairs and gently keep them on her neck.

And before I could think further my hands moved as if they had developed a mind of their own.

I held her hair and she stiffened. The horse neighed, as if it sensed the change too.

"Your hair were itching my chest.'' I reasoned as I caressed them and held them and slowly tried to make a bun.

I could feel she was sitting like a rock there, even her breaths were not audible anymore.

Its smell was full of lavender, fresh and peaceful. The way her dress created friction with my shirt whenever the horse galloped, made my breathing rugged.

"You are behaving differently. Did something happen?" she asked suddenly, snapping me back to reality.

"Why did you feel so?" I asked , confused, but then I remembered their shocked faces a while ago and nodded.

"Are you talking about the bow? She is my mother, and every person bowed to his mother, ``I replied, and her hands stopped.

The horse, that was slow since it became slower.

I could see the visible shock in her. She turned and our eyes met. She was looking at me with unexplainable emotions. I felt a lump form in my throat. It was not just a slip of tongue, I felt the warmth her mother was giving me. And calling someone mother again was…. Better than I had thought!

"Cassius.. Are you.." she wanted to ask many things I could see, but I have no answers for now. I did not know what was happening but I suddenly yearned for the love I thought I did not care about in my lifetime. As if the wall was cracking every time I was around them and soon I would not be able to hold anymore.

"Don't you want to win the race anymore?" I asked, as I held the reins tightly to command the horse. She paused and then turned back and I took a sigh of relief.

My hands were on hers and I could feel her retreating but the feeling of warmth her hands were providing. I did want to lose it.

So I held her hands right there.

"What are you doing?" she asked, stunned, as her cheeks started turning crimson.

No matter how much I deny, it felt so good whenever she blushed.

"Did you forget, my hands are injured?" I asked , faking the pain and she stopped moving her hands.

"Then let me handle the horse, '' she replied seriously and I shook my head.

"You are still untrained, that lawyer had not done a good job while training you. Let me handle the horse. You just keep your hands there, i can not touch the sharp reigns directly" might it be the lamest excuse but who cared. The truth was she was here with me instead of that lawyer. It was enough for me to have a goofy smile on my face.

"We would not be able to win anyway." she added breaking my reverie and i looked at all the horses that were far ahead than us.

"Do you really want to win?" i asked, though it was almost impossible with both of our weight in one horse.

She shook her head and took a deep sigh, "no, let it be. All i want is to end it respectfully."

"Since we have time, shall we talk?" i asked with a bit of hesitation.

"Talk about it?" 

"About your childhood, academy days, life, family.. Anything you want." 'And then let me know some tips to win you over easily,' I added in my heart, hoping to get some details on how to impress her.

"There is nothing much to tell anyway. And i am sure you have other important things to think about rather than me." she replied and i flared up.

"Why are you so stubborn?" i asked with annoyance. And she just snorted.

My grip on the reins tightened and i gave a kick to the horse which increases its speed.

It started galloping in the air making her move backwards. I moved one hand from the rights to her waist.

"Why are you so stubborn, hmmm?" I whispered in her ears as my hand gently pinched her waist making her eyes widened. She was looking so embarrassed that suddenly I wanted to do more. 

So, I moved my lips to her neck but instead of kissing or biting her I just took a deep breath. My breaths caressed her body and she shivered.

"What.. what are you doing?" she asked like a little naive girl, sometimes i wonder, was she really 27! Why do I feel she was still 16?

"What am I doing Marianne?" i asked as i sensually whispered in her ears, my lips touching her skin and i could see her face turning further red, which i never knew was possible.

'It was too delightful, too thrilling to feel her this way shivering in my arms.

"Marianne"

"Mmmm" she moaned as I kissed her neck gently.

"Tell me, what is your unfulfilled desire. Let me fulfil it for you, my wife" my voice turned husky as my hand started roaming on her waist freely and I kissed her neck once more.

"Cassius, your hands…" her eyes closed and her hands on the reins tighten crushing it in her tight grip

"Mmm, I am trying to control.." i said the truth, i was trying my best to control. But her hot breath and sweet smell was making it hard. So as her honest reactions her body was leaving it was a drug that was making me addicted. Addict of her flushed face and heavy and shallow breaths, 

"Marianne. ." 'I want to be with you' was stuck in my mouth when the horse galloped hard and we both fell down with a thud.
