Chapter 103 - ASK

"Although you are a fast learner, you are still not halfway holding the dagger I gave you. If you come home now, It's useless." Achis said while grazing his eyes on her.

Yanarym did not say a word but sighed. He's lying. He is lying! He just wanted to isolate her here! 

Guide-sama: "He is telling the truth Yanarym. Sword techniques are not as easy as it seems." 

"Then, why doesn't he just teach me now?! I wanna leave! I wanna leave this world! I want to learn everything and complete all my tasks!" 

Guide-sama: "That's because he wanted to postpone9 Bn you from going back to Datu Pita's banwa." 

"See! I told you! This man is a headache!" 

Yanarym sighed one more time and laid back to bed. "Go away, I don't want to learn daggers anymore. If you won't teach me swords, don't talk to me." 

"Stop acting like a kid, Rym. You do this every time you don't get what you want. I am not your father, I don't give in to your every whim."

"That's why I want to learn swords! I want to go home! I just have to go home! I don't want to stay here anymore!"

Achis gape at her distressed eyes, he doesn't usually care about her irreverence behavior, however, something triggers him today. And that her eagerness to leave his clutch was making him infuriated. The thought of her abandoning him, made him snap. 

Yanarym heard the warning of Guide-sama about Achis' blackening thoughts, she got up and moved swiftly to his side. With no caution, she kissed his lips. Probably, barely saving her life from the danger. She's been trying to make him accustomed to her spoiled-brat behavior but hitting his limit was the last thing she wanted to do.

Achis who was undergoing plans like tying her or shackling her feet to this cabin so she could never leave him -was deterred by her action. He blinked his eyes looking straight into hers. He gulped and became dumbfounded at how the event escalated to this. They locked eyes and no one spoke a word. 

"Staying here, I have nothing to give you. If I go home---" she was about to explain her side but got interrupted when Achis attacked her lips. They both fell on the bed and Achis did not stop though.

The kiss was heavy and rough, he had no control, almost crashing her body on the mattress. He was cupping her face pushing closer to his. Like a hungry tiger that was not fed for a month. 

Yanarym was surprised at first that she forgot how to reach but when she had tasted a rustic flavor from her lips she started to struggle. 

"Achis! Achis! Wait!" She slapped his face as hard as she could when she saw an opening. Fortunately, it made Achis come back to his senses. He stopped kissing her and made a gap between their faces. "What are you doing?! Are you trying to r-ape me?!" 

"N..no, I was..." He lifted his body and deepened his gaze to her lips that he wounded. "I'm sorry."

"Did I not kiss you just now? Can you not be aggressive? All you have to do is ask!" She screamed angrily and sat up from being pinned down. She reached out for her lower lips that he bit hard. She licked the blood gushing out from her skin. "Look at this! I am bleeding! It's stingy!" She was mortified and glared at Achis who was looking at her absentmindedly. 

"What do you mean by asking you?" He muttered daydreaming. Yanarym scoffed at him. 

"Stop acting foolish, you know what I mean! I am offering my body as payment for everything you have done for me. I can't pay you for the things that you wanted. Like gold and---"

"What payment? Why are you paying me with your body?" 

"Why not? I have nothing else on me, I can't go back home. And I'm like a pet you are taking care of. Also, I know you want me, that's the best thing I could give you." 

"That's not what I mean!" He yelled at her furiously, Yanarym was startled hearing him raise his voice. "You're not a girl! How can you say that so easily?! You're a Bai! Offering your body as payment? Hah! Don't be ridiculous!" 

"What else can I do?! I'm not a kiral? A prostitute? How am I any better from them?! I'm no Bai, Achis! I ran away! That means I am nothing anymore!" 

Both of them catch their breath after screaming at each other. Yanarym fixed her hair and looked away from him.

"Nevermind, If you don't want me, then don't. Just don't attack me without permission. I hate being restrained." She mumbled and turned her back on him. She said down to the bed and covered herself with the thin quilt of the bed. 

Achis was baffled. Some minutes ago he was ready to force her to stay on his side. Planning to depredate her body. However, now that this happened, he was antagonized with her self-assertion. He doesn't want her to look down on herself. He treated her more than a princess, he had given her the luxury that he had never given to any woman. 

She's no slut. She never behaves like one. But he was always tempted, he was always enticed. Yet, he doesn't see her as purely sexual satisfaction. He wanted her more than for one night. Because if he just wants to covet her body, he would do it without any acknowledgment from her. What he wanted was her entire being.

"Will you hate me?" He asked out of nowhere. 

"What?" 

"If we do it, will you hate me?" 

"Why will I hate you?" 

"I don't know." They both shut up for a second. Yanarym sat up again and crawled in his direction.. With no words between them, she kissed him once more. Achis felt light, is he floating?
