The joy on her face as she took an experimental sip at his instance, was a sight that stole his breath. The pure enjoyment of such a flavour, of his favour.
“This is…” her words trailed of in a happy noise, and he felt something stirring in his heart, a warmth he saw mirrored on her cheeks.
“Try not to let anyone see you with it,” he warned, as much for her sake as anyone who might see her.
He could hardly control himself at the sight of her with one drop, he had no clue how he might react to her taking a true and honest drink of the stuff. He knew he couldn’t allow any one else to see it either, no that would be an offence he could not let slide, think about what they might do with the knowledge of such a face as something she could make so freely?
If he let them live, he was letting a threat to her live.
Killing her abductors had been easy enough, and they had only gift her to him, a man who looked at her with eyes he knew well he would carve to pieces and see how long he lasted before fading into a death he deserved worse than for wanting what was his alone.0
Maomao wore his hair stick, and would soon be entirely covered in finery he gifted onto her.
After that, when she grew accustomed to the perfect life that he gave her, he would mark her in a way that only a man could mark a woman, mark her in a way that would ensure that no other ever dare to think of marking her in the same manner.
Maomao was his, even if she needed the space to realise it first.
