Forty-three
ARTEMISIA
I rolled on the bed, not wanting to stand up because of the warmth. I had no choice but to, as the urgent need to use the toilet.
I leapt out of bed as I couldn’t hold it any longer. Luckily, I got to the toilet in time before I could embarrass myself.
Whilst rubbing my tummy that felt bloated before, I let out a relieved sigh.
I trudged to the mirror, glancing into it. It was a habit I had developed since I realized what the mark on my neck meant.
Grinning, I caressed it.
It still glowed and not fading as I had imagined. I was told if it began fading; it meant either my mate was forgetting about me or he had rejected me without my notice.
Yet, I had to agree to the rejection as I was told for it to fade away completely.
I breathed out as my mind drifted to Sin. I wondered what he was doing at the moment. Maybe he was thinking about me as I was.
But I doubt it.
I missed him, even though I wouldn’t admit it in his presence. I missed having him around. Broody or not, he had grown on me and I kind of enjoyed his presence more than anything now.
I walked back to the room after staring at myself for a few more seconds. I still looked the same way. But I seem paler now. Perhaps because I barely left the room as I do, and I notice slight changes in my body.
My body seems heavy. The developments were mostly on my breasts and my hips.
It might be because of my monthly cycle- I usually add some weight before it and I shed it after.
My breasts were tenderer than normal, too, and they ached as I touched them. I doubt it would ache if it was Sin that was handling them.
“Stupid thoughts.” I groaned, blushing.
Earlier, I said I missed his presence. Well, that wasn’t all. I missed his touch as well.
I missed some of the dirty things we do in the room. Although it seemed weird, it was a craving I had developed suddenly, and I didn’t think I could take it out of my mind.
My core tingled whilst imagining what he could do to me with his mighty rod.
“I just need to stop thinking about Sin,” I mumbled, shutting my eyes tight.
“I can’t believe I’m having this weird thought about him!” I groaned.
Clutching my phone, I watched some skits I had downloaded the night before to take my mind off the sinful thoughts of Sin’s hand all over my body.

“Seven.” I glanced through the list. I grimaced whilst glaring at what I had written there.
Wear lingerie and stiletto, then dance to slutty music.
I doubt it would delight Queen Ada if she heard the dirty music coming out of my room. What had got into my mind?
I guessed it was boredom. If I was thinking straight, I wouldn’t have written something like that.
I should have mingled with Julie and Emma. At least, it was better than being only on a fishnet legging.
But then, I remembered Emma, and I were barely on speaking terms and Julie was too busy with the combat class she had enrolled in.
She only came to check up on me at night. I didn’t mind being by myself, as I got to watch a lot of the movies I hadn’t. And being with Emma wasn’t even an option because I wasn’t ready to hear her talk about Sin in naughtiness.
“It won’t be that bad,” I said, walking to the wardrobe. Sin wasn’t around to make me feel ashamed about wearing a fishnet, and the music wouldn’t be that loud. So, only the person close to the door would sense something was going on.Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
My fingers stroked the material of the lingerie. It would be my first time being in such a piece of clothing, and it wasn’t looking like a bad idea to be in it the more I scrutinized it.
I walked into the bathroom, freshened up, and walked to the wardrobe again.
I didn’t have slutty music on my phone. But I downloaded one to be prepared.
I donned the lingerie, grabbed a robe, and draped it on my shoulder so if anyone was at the door, I would slip into it before answering.
I clutched a bottle of brandy I stole from Sin’s liquor collection, poured it into a wine glass, and set it on the small coffee table.
Grasping the stem of the glass, I took a sip.
“I am going to get drunk,” I said to myself. It was certain since I was a lightweight.
Even though I said wouldn’t go near his wine collection anymore, I was breaking the promise because I had dared myself.
It was silly but thrilling.
