Chapter 53 - A Spider Web (1/2)

Ch-52

Eleanor's laughs and giggles made her look lively. Cedric felt that there was a radiant aura surrounding her. He wondered when these things would stay on her face completely. A silly smile formed on his face as he looked at her.

”Wifey, you didn't answer my earlier question,” he asked.

”What question?” Eleanor blinked her eyes innocently.

”Would you allow Cedric to marry Eleanor?” he repeated.

”Th- that….” she stammered. He bent down and bit her ear making her lose her mind. ”Say,” he urged.

”Will you allow them to marry?” he asked again, dipping his head into her shoulder blade. He kissed the spot where her neck and shoulder blade joined making her moan loudly in the silent night.

Eleanor almost covered her mouth with her hands when she heard her moan. Dammit! This man was the King Of Romance! Can she control him?

”Say it,” he urged her again, leaving a deep wet kiss on her shoulder blade. Eleanor was sure that a mark would be left there.

”Say it,” he urged, placing another wet kiss on her shoulder blade.

”Umm… yes! I will,” she breathed out, making him smile.

”Then there is nothing to worry about,” he said to her with a smirk.

There was a silence between them. This was not the same awkward silence but something seems different. This time… they both liked their presence beside them. It was not lonely, it was cool and comfy. They had a companion be it beside them or in their life. But they had a companion.

”Cedric, You are really bad at making excuses you know,” Eleanor said suddenly, throwing a bomb in his chest.

”Where did I make excuses?” he said.

”The three reasons you stated. If not for the excuses… you would elaborate them,” she said.

Indeed he made excuses. If not he would not be in a hurry to divert her thoughts. Cedric looked at her face and scratched his neck shyly.

Shit! He was caught!

Eleanor knew there was no such thing called coincidences. Even if there were coincidences these many coincidences wouldn't exist. She just waited for him to come clean but he didn't. So… she asked him now.

”Now… come clean,” she asked.

Cedric looked at her with disbelief. He didn't expect her to pick him. No one questioned him this way apart from his father and sister.

And she was the first one to catch his lies and question him. Indeed his woman is really smart. Feeling happy, he smiled at her.
