Chapter 16 - The Reckless Queen
His mischievous smirk grew wider when he heard her cursing in a low voice.
Just like a wild cat, she was always ready to bite him. Surprisingly it was so fun for him watching her sharped eyebrows knitted, her seductive lips murmuring silently.
He leaned against his wooden chair leisurely but made sure to keep looking at her face.
Disdainfully she wiped her lips several times and turned her gaze away from his face. Aaron was smirking all the time but the thought of wiping his saliva from her lips made him feeling enlarged.
Still he decided to keep it inside himself and watched her puffed face quietly. When he recalled the past scene calling her Mrs Esme Aaron Richards, his mood subconsciously lifted up as his face beamed.
He couldn't deny the fact that this girl had all the charisma to make him more interesting towards her.
Esme was still looking at those bloomed flowers and completely ignored his existence.
Thus Aaron only could play with the petal leftover on the table and oftenly stole a glance over her ignorant expression.
Shortly after, a delicate figure came across to them holding a tray of cups intending to serve them some fresh teas.
Esme watched the young lady from the corner of her eyes and took a closer look.Her features looked exquisite like a barbie doll.She wore a simple long gown making her look like an innocent child and well behaved appearance. She had never seen her before.
She perfectly lifted up the tea pot and poured the hot tea into the glasses wearing a warm smile.
Subconsciously Esme gave a glance to the man beside her and found his expression stiff as if the girl was simply annoying him without speaking.
She first stretched out her hand to give it to Esme and uttered a few words respectively,
" My Lady, have some herbal tea. It is healthy for your health."
Reluctantly she wanted to take it but paused hearing Aaron's cold voice,
" You can address her as my queen, Venessa. She is no longer any outsider. She is my lawfully wedded wife."
Vanessa froze. Her teeth clenched tightly but endured it recalling the lessons that she got earlier from queen mother.
She forced a graceful smile and went on agreeing with him,
" Pardon me, my king.

I have mistaken."
Then she fell her gaze on Esme properly and spoke in a gentle tone,
" Pardon me, my queen."
Esme nodded slightly and took the porcelain cup from her.
Whatever it was, Esme still found her gaze over her piercing. Even when she heard Aaron calling her by name, she still felt a little suspicious.
Forget it.!
It has nothing to do with her!
Vanessa was still staring at Esme deeply fuming in anger. She couldn't deny the fact that this girl was beyond beautiful. Her eyelashes were so long. When she blinked, it felt like an invitation towards men. She had a straight nose and a smooth white skin like pure milk.
Her lips were so rosy pink. Her face showed a calm and mysterious expression silently dividing them far apart.
When her rosy lips sipped the tea from the cup, her whole aura was emitting like a noble queen who was enjoying her service.Without saying anything as if she was silently showing her status that she couldn't reach.
Her grip tightened around the tea pot as her gaze was locked on her posture viciously. She was feeling immense jealousy over Esme.
When she shifted her gaze to Aaron, she found him already staring at Esme seductively.His deep red eyes were looking gentle like water as if it wanted to devour her badly.
Lowering down her gaze in anger, hastily she poured another cup of tea.
With her shaky hands, she stretched it out to Aaron and spoke respectively,
" My king.. Your tea.."
Clang !!!
Intentionally or not, the hot tea fell all over his chest from her hands as she trembled in fear.
Aaron hissed loudly before glaring at Vanessa angrily for scolding hard. Suddenly he gulped all the words that he wanted to spit it out and started groaning as if he was in deep pain,
" Oh Vanessa. what have you done?
Aahh.. It is burning all over my body.. aahh..
It hurts.."
Vanessa became dumbfounded at his action.
Vampires never feel any temperature. Hot or cold, it was always same to them. Even the king had so many unknown especial powers which was still unknown to them.
Then how come this hot tea hurt him?
She could no longer gather up any knowledge when his groaning was becoming louder.
While groaning, he took a glance of the girl sitting beside him as his expression changed from pain to black.
She was unfazed even after hearing him groaning in pain.
He bit his lips tightly while Vanessa hurriedly put out her handkerchief intending to wipe off the tea.
She leaned in and was trying to find out the burning areas speaking anxiously,
" My King, where.. where did you get hurt?
Let me wipe it off.
Forgive me, I was too irresponsible."
Aaron paid no attention to her words as his burning gaze was watching Esme angrily.
Still looking at her way, he spit out something irrelevant,
" Tore off my clothes."
Vanessa was stunned.
Even Esme who was sipping the tea quitely sharpened her ears.Her grip stiffed a little but still she maintained her unfazed expression.
But her little action couldn't escape from Aaron, he felt a little better. Then he changed his tone softer and spoke to Vanessa,
" My chest is hurt.
How will you wipe it off if you don't open it? "
Only then Vanessa came back to her stable mind.She nodded almost jumped out happily inside her mind and quickly went to open the gold maded buttons from his shirt.
Of course,he was king of the world. Everything he wore, it was all expensive like hell even a mere tea shirt.
Esme's ears were all open as she tried to hear every single movement without gazing at them.
One button, two button, Vanessa slowly opened the shirt after unlocking five buttons and revealed his masculine chest.
Vanessa couldn't help but imagine that how will it feel when she will caress this muscular abbs.
She mentally reassured herself to keep away her wild imagination for now and focused on serving the king first.
She took a closer look but found nothing burn. Only the spilled tea was all over his chest dripping down towards his lower abdomen.
She didn't dare to speak out anything and started pressing her handkerchief carefully.
Aaron didn't forget to observe Esme's expression and felt delighted when he realised that this little girl's breathing was becoming shallow.
Indeed Esme was getting angry.
If Aaron wanted to show off their lovey-dovey activities, why did he bring her here forcefully?
Aaron gave fuel on the fire and recited some ambiguous words purposely,
" Slowly Vanessa."
" It still hurts"
" Your hand is soft."
" Aaah.
Your hand is healing my pain. Great."
After hearing such compliments, Vanessa blushed furiously and focused more clearing him off.
Esme could no longer control her anger and suddenly stood up putting down the cup.
She spoke without glancing at them,
" I am heading inside.
I want to take a short nap."
She didn't wait for his response and made her way out of the garden. Aaron smirked at her retreating back satisfied.
After taking few steps hastily, a hard broken stone fell underneath her injured feet. She cried out at the sudden pain causing it to bleed again and fell down on the ground cursing the stone.
Aaron pushed away Vanessa's hands quickly and rushed over to Esme.
After taking a glance of her injured leg, Aaron lifted her up in his arms before scolding the guards,
" Whoever is in charge of cleaning the garden, all of them are fired now."
Esme watched his angry expression and felt uneasy. She parted her lips to speak but immediately got scolded hard from Aaron,
"And you.. the reckless queen..
where do you keep your eyes when you walk?"
Esme didn't bother to reply him and lowered her gaze in guilt. Then he quickly shoved her inside the castle..
Vanessa kept staring at their back.
Later the banging sound of glasses could be heard from the garden clearly.
