?Caesar

I stood outside the guest room where Nora and Ben were. I decided to give the task of alcohol tolerance to Ben because clearly I'm not the guy cut out for the job. I've never been good with interactions, especially not after Arius brought me back with him.

So I just decided to stand guard, even though there is no need to.. Maybe I'm a bit worried about her.

The door burst open and Ben ran out of the room, letting the door close on its own. He came to me and placed his hands on my shoulders.

"Caesar. I'm a married man."I nodded. I know that, but why is he telling me this? "She's a pretty heavy drinker, no worries there." He gave me a stern look, "But now that she is drunk, she's yours." I tilted my head in confusion but Ben just patted my shoulders then pushed me in the direction of the room, "Good luck." He ran away.

What..?

Why me?

I opened the door and peeked inside, the room seemed empty, I could see two bottles of whiskey on the floor. I opened the door a bit more and half entered the room when someone grabbed my hand from the blindspot behind the door and pulled me in.

I heard the door lock click behind me and I turned to see Nora, standing there in her black underwear, the third bottle of alcohol in her hand.

"YOU~" She drew closer to me and I stepped back, "Why are backing away?"

"It's enough training for the day." I told her but she didn't stop moving and so neither did I, but that resulted in me stumbling on the sofa and sitting on it.

She smirked. Took a sip from the bottle and threw it away. My eyes followed the bottle as it landed straight in the bin.

...

I looked back at her as she stood right in front of me.

"What service would you like~?" She slipped her knee between my thighs and her hands caressed by chest.

"None please."

She narrowed her eyes at me, "What did you say? None?! Are you mocking me? Do you think I'm not good enough?" She growled at me.

"No-" I raised my hands in surrender. Did she just growl?

"Then what?!!" She yelled at me and I flinched.

"We should stop here."

"But I can make you feel real good." She held my T-shirt and was about to take it off when I held her hands to stop her. It's not supposed to go like this! No wonders Ben ran away.

He's a traitor!

"That's enough."

She sat on my lap and stared at me for a few moments then realized something, "Ah~You're worried about my experience. Don't worry I worked in a bar, I've worked at many places and I'm VERY experienced." She slid her hands down in my pants as she landed her lips on me.

I held her wrists to stop her but she deepened the kiss, sliding her tongue in my mouth.

It didn't feel bad or anything but I've never wanted this, so I pulled her arms up and then around her making her break the kiss.

"You're experienced?" I asked her. Somehow her words bothered me a bit.

She nodded, "You want more?" She looked at me with dreamy eyes, "Ah!" She struggled to get out of my grip so I let her go. I didn't want to hurt her. I would never want to do that.

"I know what you want." She nodded her head at me.

"You do?"

"You should have just asked for it." She slid her hands behind her back and unbuckled her bra, "I'll take off mine first." The straps became loose over her shoulder and she slowly slid her hands to her shoulders to slide them off her body.

I panicked. This is only getting worse.

I held her shoulders, "Sorry." And hit her head with mine, hard enough to make her unconscious. She got knocked out immediately but I held her in place.

Phew!

I took a breath of relief. Only then I realized how nervous and anxious I was. My heart pounding in my chest was now finally calming down.

She says she's experienced.. It should be a good thing, yet I don't like the sound of that..

I scratched the back of my head. It wasn't really making any sense to me.

In the end I just picked her up and took her to bed and wrapped the blanket around her tightly just in case. I mean, just in case..

Then I left the room.

Clearly she doesn't need any training in this regard. She'll be fine if she had to protect or manipulate any man.

..

Or, maybe I could just do it for her?

What is this odd feeling?

I shook my head, I just don't understand why I'm having double thoughts.

Late at night when I was going to check up on Nora Ben came running to me. He seemed a bit pale.

"Caesar! There's a problem!" He tried whispering. I tilted my head in confusion, "I don't know why this happened, it was so out of the blue! I mean she looked like she was sick so I took her out for fresh air-" He paused and looked at me. Of course I had no idea who he was talking about. He took someone out for fresh air?

He gulped and whispered, "Caesar, Azalea ran away." I never thought it would bother me but maybe now that I've known her for more than a year it really did come to me as a shock.

"What..?" I blinked in confusion. Why?

"WHAT!?!" The guest room door banged open and Nora came out of the room, the blanket still wrapped around her tightly. "What do you mean she ran away?!" Ben immediately held her shoulders and hushed her down.

"I don't know, maybe we can get her back. Because if Arius finds out it will not turn out good."

Nora was the most disturbed out of us. Well, it's a given since they both are the only friends each of them have, but clearly as to why she ran away, it didn't make sense to her either.

Neither of them ever tried to run away, or even take the condition Arius set for them for freedom seriously.

"I'm going to look for her." She said, "There has to be a reason for her to do this."

"I'll go with you." I replied to her.

"Me too." Ben responded, "Let's get her back before Arius finds out."
