Chapter 17 Scars (2/2)

Leon is teasing me and that makes me even more irritated.

”Just strip off your clothes and let me apply the medicine on your wounds.” I used a commanding voice.

Leon was taken aback but his smile was still plastered on his face.

”Okay Alicia. I will do as I am told by my lady.” Leon sighed in defeat.

Leon took of his shirt. I looked at his naked upper body. It was perfectly toned with buffed chest and 6-pack abs. His biceps and triceps where well defined.

I blushed by seeing his naked upper body. This is not the first time I saw an upper body of the opposite sex. I have seen my brother Richard's countless of times and sometimes my grandpa after he had finished working out. But this was the first time I saw a body of someone not within my family and also of a young adult man. I looked at it in fascination.

”Are you done ogling?” Leon said jokingly.

”Ah... Yes, ah no. I mean let's apply the medicine.” I said frantically.

I take some cotton from the medicine kit and put some medicine in it. I look at Leon's body and saw few cuts. He wasn't injured that badly, that's a relief.

I started to apply the medicine to the cuts when I looked closer I saw scars. It was a little too many. I didn't ask anything, afraid that I might offend Leon. It was normal I guess for a knight to have scars from cuts and wounds.

When I was about to look at his back to see if he has wounds there, I was shocked. The scars at the front of his body can't be compared by the ones at the back. It looked like they were scars from whipping. I unconsciously touched those long hideous scars.

'How did he get this?' I thought to myself. My heart clenched in pain.

Then suddenly Leon turned around. He caught my hand and held it within his.

”Doesn't it look ugly? Doesn't it scare you?” Leon looked at me. He looked directly in my eyes. He was looking for something in them.
