Chapter 41: ii. Engagement [Bonus chapter]

“Dom, just where exactly are we going?” she pouted as she was forced to follow him.

They have just entered a building and are on their way to the rooftop it seems. She sighed when he didn’t answer her query.

“We really shouldn’t be wasting your time like this. Tomorrow is your last game for the school, isn’t it? You should be spending your time resting instead of dragging me here like this,” she continued to nag, mostly out of concern for him.

“Are you planning to push me off the rooftop?” she joked, which made him stop and look at her. His eyes were filled with fury and hurt.

“You really think I will ever hurt you that way? Much more kill you?” his voice was cold, angry.

She knew she needed to do something so she forced an innocent smile on her lips, “That’s just a joke, Dom. Of course, I know you will never hurt me.”

“That’s not something to joke about,” he opened the door of the rooftop and lead her in.

.....

Her eyes widened in shock as she see hundreds of flowers surrounding a center table and two chairs facing each other.

“What is this?” she asked, her cheeks turning red.

“A proper date before we graduate. We started on an odd footing and I never really got the chance to properly date you. I wanted to do that before we graduate,” it was his turn to blush.

She walked to the seat he prepared for them and waited for him to walk over towards her.

“So, do you like it?” Dominus asked, he isn’t used to romantic gestures like this. He wanted to know if he is doing it right.

“Yes, I like this very much. Thank you,” he pulled a chair for her and lowered his head, tapping his cheek with his fingers.

She laughed at how silly he looked, who knew the school prince can be this childish? She smiled and kissed his cheek, butterfly kisses that made him blush more.

“You are so cute,” she giggled and waited for him to sit down as well. But he didn’t move and stayed standing beside her.

“Well, shouldn’t you sit down now? I mean, the food might get cold,” she called his attention.

He stood still, just staring at her. As if he is at a loss on what to do.

“What is going on, Dom? Is something wrong?” she asked hesitantly, beginning to get worried over his conduct

“Can you wait for a few minutes? I can’t sit down yet,” he hurriedly added.

“But why so? Why can’t you?” she asked him again since he seemed to be evading answering the question.

She had to blink when he suddenly knelt in front of her. Her mind couldn’t register what exactly was happening.

“What are you doing? What is this all about, Dom?” she asked, still in shock over his sudden action.

“Baka! Are you not a woman? Can’t you really tell what’s going on?” he scowled at her which just made her giggle.

“Well, I don’t understand!” she protested as she continued to stare at the seven feet giant kneeling in front of her so suddenly.

“I can’t believe you! How can you be so clueless about things like this? Women were expected to have the instinct when it comes to these matters, you know,” he brought out a small jewelry box from his pocket and shoved it in front of her.

She stared at the box speechless, his words seem to be sinking to her bit by bit as he instructed her, “You really are hopeless, queenie. Take the box now, it’s yours.”

She took the box and opened it and in front of her is the most beautiful diamond ring she has ever seen. The quality is superb and the diamond is just so clear and brilliant it almost hurts her sensibilities.

“Why?” she looked back at him, blushing profusely.

“You are hopeless. Don’t you like it?” he asked, frowning a bit.

“Of course, I do! But it looks so expensive, and it’s not even my birthday yet. I can’t accept this gift,” she clarified and attempted to return the ring to him.

“Baka,” he took the ring from the box and gripped her fingers, sliding the ring into one of her digits and kissing the back of her hand.

“What? Dominus!” she blushed and tried to pull back her hand.

“What? It suits you,” he said seriously, still kneeling in front of her.

“Then return to your seat already,” she smiled at him softly, feeling very flustered at his actions.

“I could not do that,” he said with a straight face, he looked too serious for whatever his reason was.

“Why so?” she asked, confused as to why he has been behaving so oddly.

“Because you haven’t said yes yet,” he turned red, obviously embarrassed by the situation itself.

“Yes to what exactly?” she looked at him worriedly, what exactly is going on with her boyfriend.

“Say yes, you’ll marry me,” to say she was shocked hearing those words is an understatement, she nearly dropped from her seat.

“What did you say?” she looked at him, her ears feeling scorched from his words.

“Say you will marry me,” he finally smiled, as if gaining a bit of confidence seeing her distraught.

“But... but we are still about to go to college,” she stammered, trying to calm the fast beating of her heart.

“We can still study even when we are married, you know I won’t be a distraction. I am sure about us and I am sure it is you I want in this life. I love you, Mary. No one else can ever make me feel the way I feel for you. I am certain it is you I want to marry, take care of, and spend the whole of my life with. So say you’ll marry me already,” he smiled, bringing her hands to his lips.

“I love you too, Dom, and yes, I’ll marry you,” she was unable to stop her heart from beating loudly against her chest as he pulled her towards himself.

She fell to the ground on top of him, “Dominus!” she complained, giggling as he placed his hands on her waist.

“Don’t complain now, you made me kneel for too long,” he grinned, his fingers creating a trail of fire on her back.

“But others might see,” she blushed even when she feels her legs straddling his hips.

“Don’t worry, we will be a married couple once we graduate. Let them speculate if they so wanted,” he grinned and pulled her closer, letting their lips glide softly against each other.

“Baka! That’s so embarrassing!” she pushed him away, pouting.

“What is so embarrassing about being my woman, huh?” he teased her further, loving the way she turned scarlet with each of his words.

“Not that, but doing this in public!” she protested, pouting as he caressed her cheek.

“And what do you think I’m about to do when you are the one trapping me underneath?” she blushed harder as he whispered the words.

“Dominus!” she bit her lower lip, trying to stop herself from reacting so freely to him when he is clearly enjoying himself.

“What? I am just saying the truth,” his warm hands went under her skirt, his fingers lazily feeling her legs up to her waist, then down again, cupping her ass.

“Dominus,” she closed her eyes as instant gratification takes over her mind, making her sigh.

“Yes, darling. What do you want, my queen?” he smirked, loving how easy it is for him to warm her up.

“For you to behave,” she blushed, because her voice sounded a bit too shrill, he will know she is excited.

“Ahhhh... but how can I stop when my queen purrs at me like that. Should I listen to your words or should I take note of what your body just told me?” he pulled her close again, this time thrusting his tongue inside her mouth, loving the way she started to moan in response to his kiss.

“Are you going to be embarrassed if others see us like this? I personally won’t be, I want everyone to know you are mine queenie. I want each of them to know how ready you are for me,” he teased her, kissing her neck and sucking on her soft skin.

“Dominus!” she protested, biting his arm to which he just laughed.

“Bite harder, this way you can mark me too. I like that you have taken a bit of a possessive nature,” she blushed more as he cupped her cheeks. “Then, mark me as much as you want to.”

“Dominus, the words you are saying! You must stop this. They’re crazy and..” she stopped mid-sentence.

“And it makes you feel absolutely horrified at how my words make you feel so very much alive,” she felt herself water, her juices wetting her panties, making her feel more shy.

“Stop that, Dom!” she blushed and pouted, unable to look into his eyes for fear all her defenses will so easily melt.

“I might, if you say it nicely my queen,” he grinned.

She forced herself to look into his eyes and say the words she knew he wanted to hear, “Please do it a little bit later, my knight.”

He chuckled and stopped with his kisses, sniffing her hair and just hugging her on top of him. “Promise to be a good girl,” he ordered her.

“I’ll be a good girl, I promise,” she blushed more but felt relieved when he kissed her forehead and caressed her hair.

It meant he listened to her request, though it also meant she will need to make it up to him once they were alone in his apartment.

The thought of the things he will make her do just made her want to bury her face in her hands, she will surely be subjected to a lot more than she can take.
