IN THE CAGE

59. BEFORE LEAVING

...ACE pov's...

...----------------...

Something strange is going on with Fawn. I don't know what he's thinking, but his very strange and very obvious behavior-makes me 100 percent sure he's making a stupid plot in his brain.

Today again, on the day that I was getting ready to pay a visit to the Caspian family residence, Fawn who sat cross-legged on the bed looked at me many times. Then, every time I looked back at him, he would throw his face away. Pretending to stare at something else with reddened cheeks and ears.

I'm not going to complain to her honest behavior-very adorable, but, for God's sake, I need to get out today. Doing my duty as Margaret Hunter's brother and hunting down the trail of our parents' killers. It was my main task, but Fawn's strange and misbehaving attitude made it hard for me to step up.

I wanted to pounce on her, devour those red cheeks with my tongue, and smack every inch of her body with my mouth. This is so not good, she who is adorable is already such a weakness for my heart. I again pinched my forehead when our eyes met, he turned his face while scratching his cheek.

"What are you thinking?" I sighed, restraining my sanity from escaping. The tie around my neck had just finished intertwining and I was already fully prepared to leave. Just picking up a suit from the hanger, I was ready to make Evan Caspian ride black with my sudden visit.

"Are you talking to me?" Fawn responded to me in a clearly nervous voice. He pointed at himself with a finger. 

UGHHHH! What's wrong with her, oh my God? Her adorable attitude has crossed the line!

"Is there anyone else here?" I answered while putting on my suit again.

"Oh, no. I didn't think of anything."

He's very obedient. "You're sure you're not planning those stupid things in your blunt brain?"

"Did you say I was a moron?" Fawn scrunched her nose, the offended face was incredible. Incredibly adorable.

"Are you smart?" While walking leisurely, I approached the bed. Fawn was facing towards me with cute pursed lips. I sat nearby and tilted head-wondering did he realize how much he was making me excited just by his spoiled demeanor? Something pressed my pants zipper, something that should have rested in peace because it was still 10 in the morning. Now is not the time to be an animal!

"I may not be smart but-"

"Good you know." I cut her off and it made her even more upset. "Come here..."

I pulled his arm gently. For a moment, Fawn looked at me hesitantly. He was always on guard at my requests, but in the end he would obey me. Real dumb. He should have retreated and stayed away. Doesn't he know that I'm a danger? A demon capable of devouring him into hell. 

She should have been afraid of me, but her obedience, her doubtful face seemed to think she could handle me even if I treated her badly. She's mistaken. I'm blacker than he thinks, I-I won't let go of what's already mine. What comes into my reach will forever be in my grasp.

"What?" Fawn said as she looked at my forehead. Our eyes don't really meet. He avoided my gaze and was very clear that our closeness made him even more misbehavior. His cheeks were red, getting red. Sweat slid out on the surface of his nose.

"Say what are you thinking?" I cupped her cheeks in my grasp, pulling her delicate, foreign face in my rough hands to face right in my face. Our eyes meet. Her nervousness is getting bigger.

My free hand clasped his hands clutched together in my lap. It was cold at the end of his fingers like ice. I wanted to laugh at his obvious panic, but that desire was outmatched by my other desires.

"I told you I didn't think of anything."

"Well, if you don't want to say it..." I pinched his cheek. "Do what you can to keep you from getting bored, I'll come back and play with you after this."

"Where are you going?"

This is the first time Fawn has taken care of my business. I tried to judge what he was planning, but there was only a pair of eyeballs implying pure curiosity there. He cares about what I do. Very amusing.

"I have a job at your boss's." I answered honestly because I knew the information was not important.

"Boss Angga?"

"Congratulations, Fawn, Indira. Aren't you Indira's bodyguard? Why are you thinking of Anggara?"

"Stop calling him Angga's boss, he's not your boss anymore."

"I haven't resigned yet." Fawn answered me in a whispering voice. His devotion to Anggara made me a little disappointed, I didn't like the loyalty he gave to that useless bastard. Anggara does not deserve Fawn's kindness, the man is a bastard who does not even know who is valuable and useful.

"Forget the matter of Anggara," I didn't want to fight with Fawn so I decided the topic stopped there. I know he will continue to defend Anggara until old as a loyal follower. "Don't be naughty alone, okay?"

"Snake?"

"Yes" I replied seriously.

Fawn may not know because acting adorable and innocent has become his natural attitude, but-his attitude like that has made my guards bend their knees at his feet. From the reports of Felix-Haru, Willa, David and even Ozan-shows familiarity and attachment to Fawn. It was as if Fawn was their comfort zone. I couldn't let that keep happening, I blocked Haru from coming here.

Fawn is my property, she can only look adorable to me.

"You make me sound like a five-year-old boy. Am I a child?"

I cupped Fawn's face once again-this time with two hands. My lips were anchored on his forehead, his cheeks, his nose and to his eyelids which were instantly closed when I kissed him. "You're not a child" I said before pausing my words to look at his puzzled face over the affection I had for him.

"You are mine,"

Fawnia is not a child, it is the truth. Because I'm not gonna do this to the kids.

I wouldn't kiss her hard on the lips if she was a kid. I will not hold him tight now, cupping his cheek with a crest that bursts in his chest, devouring those pale pink lips like devouring the last meal on the table, no-I'm not gonna do this to the kids. I only did this to Fawnia, mine, a figure who had become my candlestick.

"Aces..." My name slipped from Fawn's lips as my lips moved to her jaw. He who had been firmly attached to my chest, propped his arms up on my shoulders. Refraining from falling more tightly into my chest, but it was in vain. He is under my control.

"Aren't you going?" His voice escaped like a tantalizing groan. I bit her pale neck and covered her with saliva.

"Ten more minutes" I said before re-capturing his lips, exploring every corner of his oral cavity with my tongue. Fawn did not rebel, but her gestures showed she was very unaccustomed. The awkwardness combined with nervousness was very clearly implied in his body that twitched in fear. She's very taboo on intimacy, and it's adorable.

Geck! Geck! Geck!

Bastard!!!

I was about to take off the black shirt that was attached to Fawn's beautiful body - just in case I didn't hear Carcel's knock from the outside. My hand, which was already on her hip, stopped for a moment. The ears heard what Carcel was saying from the outside while my tongue was still creeping wildly on Fawn's flushed red earlobes.

"Aces...."Fawn patted me on the shoulder, reminding me of Carcel's whereabouts behind the door. But I don't really care. This house is my home, what I do is my right. I don't feel disinclined to do anything even if those who work all over this house know.

"Boss Ace, the car's ready."

Goddamnit!

I let out a long sigh at the plain nape of Fawn that was red due to the traces of my bite and suction. I don't want to leave my activities right now, but I can't cancel my promise to Indira either. Bastard, this job is starting to make me lose my temper.

Taking advantage of my silence, Fawn pulled herself back and jumped out of bed. He stepped clumsily towards the sofa while stretching his arms. "See you later."

I closed my eyes, calmed my body, which had been heated by passion, hit my knees, before finally getting out of bed.

"Don't sleep before eating." I gave Fawn a message before finally walking out of the room. My head is full of regrets and curses.

If the message that Indira was about to discuss was so useless, I swear that I will punch a hole in the woman's head instantly!
