Chapter 234: Fiery Desire
Chapter 234: Fiery Desire
"I feel so bad!" Jules groaned as she tried to get up from the bed, but every time she tried to slide down the bed, her two feet would turn into four, and her head would start spinning. "Why is the world rotating backwards? It should be going left and right, not right and left."
Ajax, who had just arrived in the room, was stumped when he heard the words of the woman. Now, he regretted agreeing with Inez and helping this drunkard. He thought that she was just slightly drunk and would be fine as long as she rested a little, but taking a look at the out-of-her-mind drunk woman in front of him, Ajax felt a headache building at the back of his head.
"I can do this," muttered Ajax. "I am the head enforcer. If I can deal with a bunch of rogues and trespassers, then I can deal with this drunk woman as well. There is no need for me to worry about anything." He wasn’t going to admit that Jules and her antics scared him. He had spent nights with all kinds of female shifters. From foxes to killer whales and even dolphins, which were known for killing their partners if they were not satisfied.
And yet it was this dragon princess who brought tears to his eyes.
First, she ran through the territory grounds and told him that she wanted to get out of the dress that she was wearing and wanted something more comfortable and short, which would not hinder her. It took quite a lot of convincing on his part for the woman to stop making a fuss.
But that came at the expense of a fairly good hoodie. One that he couldn’t even bear to wear himself, for it was branded, and in terms of Jules, she was only used to wearing brands, as the non-branded things caused her skin to flare up.
Ajax thought that it was going to be the end of whatever torment that the night had in store for him. But nope. Then this woman ran out again, and this time around, she tried to fish from the pond that was behind his lodge. The pond being his jacuzzi. She tried to catch the nonexistent fish with her bare hands, and it ended up being a failure. Of course, it would, because there was no fish to begin with.
That should have put an end to Jules’s atrocity—he knew that you thought that, and he thought that as well. But unfortunately, that did not happen. Nuh-uh. The woman was stubborn till the end, and when she didn’t get what she wanted? She dried up the entire pond with her fire. A perfectly fine Jacuzzi was turned into a dried pit.
"AHH AHH!!!"
Ajax jolted awake from his thoughts and turned to look at the woman in front of him. When he saw her crying once again, Ajax had to close his eyes and breathe in and out again. He told himself that he could not kill this woman because she was related to Inez and she would be most upset with him if he were to kill Jules here and now.
Not to mention the title and position of this woman – it would be problematic to have the blood of the only pure-blooded dragon princess.
He stepped inside the room before dumping the packets of chips that he had brought with him. This was something that the woman had requested of him, and he had fulfilled it because he knew that there was no point in squabbling with her over this.
Because even if he did try to talk sense to her, the woman wouldn’t be able to understand a word. He pursed his lips and stared down at the sobbing mess of a woman and snapped, "What’s the matter with you? You have your hoodie, you have your snacks, and you damn well have my sanity in your hands—what more do you want now?"
Ajax was going crazy; if not for the fact that he couldn’t throttle this woman to death, he would have done it with a snap of his fingers.
But Jules remained unaware of this little dangerous thought of his. Her eyes were puffy as she flailed and rolled around on the bed. She said to Ajax, "I want to be loved ... I also want to go on dates and have someone take care of me... why can I not get what others can with so much ease?"
The frown on Ajax’s face deepened even further. He seemed to be thinking about something, but at the same time, there was confusion in his eyes as if he couldn’t understand a thing. He pursed his lips before letting out a sigh. He ran his hand through his dark locks, and he said to Jules, "Look, if it’s a one-night stand that you want, then I can bring someone to you. You can feel loved for a night—"
"I don’t need that," said the dragon princess as she reached out and clung to the hem of his shirt. Her eyes glowed faintly in the dark as she said to him, "What I want is something more passionate, something more loving. A man who would want me for my body and not for the title or position that I can give to him."
As she spoke, her eyes lingered on Ajax’s lips. Even though Jules was naive and arrogant in her own ways, it was the truth that she was really beautiful. Her curves were perfect, and even if Ajax hated how the woman had tormented him, he had to admit that she was like a fucking delight to one’s eyes. noveldrama
He could feel a traitorous fire building in his body and why wouldn’t it? When Jules was wearing nothing but his hoodie, with her dress discarded on the floor. He could smell her arousal that was stirring in the air and damn, it did something to him.
But he knew that he couldn’t do anything to her. Inez had trusted him with Jules and he was not going to let that trust down.
