Chapter 5 Five

KAI

Her audacity intrigued me. In a few minutes, this strange slight woman had managed to do what warriors twice her size who had known me for years were too afraid to do. I wondered what gave her the courage to approach me willingly without fearing for her life. Yes, I knew what the words out there said about me. It was those exact stories coupled with the fact that I had just taken over her entire village that made me curious about what it was that went through her head. She should be running in the opposite direction and putting a lot of distance between me and her. But no, this sinfully dressed woman who could make any man's penis stand at attention with a mere sight of her shapely body.

She must not have known that she had company, so I utilized the few seconds that her ignorance gave me, to admire her backside. By gods, she was heavenly made. When she first sashayed her petite form out of the drat sack bag she had hid in, I would admit she took me by surprise. Which doesn't come often because surprises are something I hated. It is why I made sure to think ten steps ahead of anyone else.

She had sensually made her way over to me, managing to hold all my men in the room by their cock. I could feel how each one of them wished they had her pinned under them. My men were an uncontrollable bunch, it is a wonder how I am able to keep them under my command. I was pretty sure if I had not been in the room, they would all be fighting over themselves to have a taste of her delectable little body.

A wash of strange possessive feelings had come over me immediately. I wanted to throw her over my shoulder and get her out of there. I couldn't stand my men leering at her for another minute so I had instructed Ragnark to bring her here. Here, I could explore this wonderful gift without the watchful gaze of another.

"Well, well, what was it you needed to propose to me that made you foolishly think you could walk out of here alive?" I asked her when she had finally noticed my presence and turned away from the window to look at me.

She must be crazier than I thought if she reasoned for one second that she could brave my presence and walk away unscathed.

My gaze shifted from her full lips to the swell of her round breasts as they rose and fell from her breathing. I watched as she took in a deep breath before speaking.

"I doubt you know who I am," she began.

I cocked one eyebrow at her. Of course I didn't know who she was, but somehow she looked familiar. Even though I was pretty sure I had never met her before. Though I may have many mistresses, her face was definitely one I had not come upon.

"My name is Argentina. And I am the young miss of this manor you have taken over." She declared and for the second time in one night, this woman had managed to shock me again.

It hit me! I knew she looked strangely familiar and now I know it was because she had the exact face, albeit a younger version, of the wife of the former village chief. The older woman had been stubborn or else she should not have died.

The daughter of the man I killed just three days ago? She must be very stupid to come here if it was true. How do you show up at the gate of the man who killed your parents?

I waited for her to continue, still poised at the entrance of the room.

"You must think me overly stupid for coming back here after what you had done to my family"

Spot on!

"I assure you I have something to say, and I bid you listen to me" she took several steps forward towards me. "I had successfully run away during the fight and had gotten to quite some distance but frankly, running away with spoiled shoes and dirty clothings is something I'm not cut out for '' Argentina softly said in a timid voice.

"So I said to Amro, my father's friend, to bring me here so I can plead to your mercy and let me stay here. Oh, I shall greatly miss my family and friends but I have nowhere else to go. Even if I did, I want to stay here where things are familiar to me and I do not need to disturb my pretty head over anything or for my safety." She took more steps in my direction, this time she was now standing toe to toe with me.

It was not lost on me how very small she was. She was extremely petite compared to me and slender. Her womanly smell wafted to my nose and increased my wanting for her. She was soft in every way that I was hard and it called to me so strongly it was surprising how I could hold myself under control.

"That is why I am here, General. To be taken under your care if you take pity on a helpless girl" she finally finished.

Something tells me Argentina was not as helpless or as dim witted as she wanted me to believe. In fact, I suspected that was exactly what she hoped to achieve. To think her stupid and underestimate her.

I killed her father, the previous chief of her village. I killed her mother and conquered a place she had always known as home. I knew even more damage would be done to this place as time went on, to bend how things are carried out here to my liking and to how I liked things to be done. I was the one person she should hate with all of her being, yet here she was, begging for mercy to stay.

I did not believe her one bit. So I decided to put her words to the test.

I closed the small space she had left between us and grabbed her by the throat, making sure not to add force behind it. Her flesh was so soft and tender, I wondered if her neck would snap if I added just a little strength behind my touch.

My mouth descended down on hers and took her by surprise. I finally got to taste the lips that had been calling for my attention since she intruded in my strategizing. I sucked on her bottom lip while my hands fondled her breasts under her bodice. I knew she would not kiss me back and I waited for her to draw back with a look of disgust, which was a much more believable feeling than begging for mercy.

I moved my hands away from her breasts and took her plush bottom instead. Using her bottom to draw her even closer into my flesh, I began shifting her dress away, digging my arms under the hem before she finally did what I knew she would do.

She pushed me away and took many steps backwards while panting for air, her lips glistening from my kissing.

I smiled at her.
