When you wake up, there’s straw in your mouth.
You’re lying in a cart full of hay where one of your cows, Betty, is chewing and staring at you. After looking around, you notice that outside the front door of your cottage.
Damn.
There are two dead rabbits beside you. Oh, it’s from your snares you set earlier and were trying to retrieve back in the forest. That was when you ran into… him. Your enemy.
You can still see and feel his mischievous green gaze moving over your mouth and eyes.
But how did he…?
Great.
How dare he.
You’re going back tonight to find him and give him a piece of your mind.
After the sun sets, you head back to the forest with your bow and arrow.
It’s dumb how paranoid some villagers are about going there. But you don’t care.
You want to know what he did to you…or didn’t do! But you dare not say, “Why didn’t you kiss me, e/n?”
No, that would be bad.
“Out for another evening stroll?” his velvety voice dances up your spine.
You freeze and your cheeks suddenly feel warm. You turn and meet his intense green gaze. “I have…uhhh… things to do.”
Okay, you didn’t really think this over. What exactly are you doing here?
“Are you following me?” you ask.
His mouth parts and your pulse scrambles. He bares a small glimpse of straight, white teeth. “What makes you think that?”
You breathe out a sigh of relief.
And you’re frustrated because he’s not answering your question. You’ve heard weird things about him. For one, where does he even come from?
“I warned you yesterday about coming here. And yet, here you are again, y/n.”
Your eyes widen at how rude he is.
You square your shoulders trying to match his height, but it’s no use. He’s incredibly tall. “Who are you to tell me where I can and can’t go?”
He narrows his eyes. “Do you want to die?” he asks.
“Of course not,” you say.
“Good answer.”
He circles around you, not taking his eyes off you, and you’re suddenly feeling like prey. You feel his warm gaze burning over your skin. Oh.
“Did you carry me back yesterday?” you ask.
“Yes,” he whispers.
