Chapter 9
Shlok frowned again as he observed her, it was actually strange, she claims to be poor, actually doesn't claim it but from her clothes, one can say she is poor but she acts like a upper class noble lady. The way she eats, the way she walks, her mannerisms, she give orders like she's the authority, she had to be a upper class noble or she work in the upper class noble's house, the latter is doubtful, since her temperament is not suitable for working as a maid. He doubt now about what she had said about being orphan, she may have lied to him about her name. Obviously she will not tell him anything about her, since he's a stranger to her, but soon she will, when he put his plan into an action.
He smirked as he thought about his plan, the plan to seduce her, he never did that before since every woman fell into his looks, and give themselves to him yet this girl has tolerance, she may have been attracted to him but she kept her feelings within herself but for how long. He would seduce her with his manly form until she overcomes with lust and toss that cursed cap and implore him to take her. He would insist but she would beg him sweetly and he will do the gentlemanly thing and would give in. His smile widened at that thought of splendid fantasy where he would play innocent and unsuspecting attacked by his willful cabin boy.
Astha could hear her heartbeat, why the hell is he staring at her, and why is he smiling like a loon?. She avoided his eyes, but still she could feel them as she ate the food. The silence was killing her, she felt uneasiness in his gaze, her belly churned as she gulp down the food. Curse him, he's not even letting her eat the food properly. Damn! He is observing her, poor boy doesn't eat like nobles and she is doing that.
She tossed the spoon and fork aside and attacked the food with her fingers. She glanced at him, only to find him looking at her shocked and utterly amazed, for all good five minutes he just stared at her. She smiled inwardly, enjoying his shock while displaying the savageness in her, she licked her finger that was the time she heard his groan, a painful one. She looked up at him, his dark brown eyes were filled with heat and anger.
"You're human not animal, so act like one, brat!" He said before he stormed out of the cabin, leaving his food and her baffled.
Shlok groaned again though silently as he paced through the upper deck, he still couldn't control his desire for her. He shouldn't have continued to watch her as she displayed her savage habits or she is merely trying to act like one, she must be acting. And so he'd witnessed the sensual way she had licked her fingers which stirred his senses to vibrant life, he was completely aroused and his loins now ached for her, it was intolerable for him. Talk about the well-laid plans gone down to the bloody drain, how will he seduce her when he is the one getting seduced by her innocent actions. It was uncanny, the effect of this girl on him and his desire for her, his getting aroused without even touching her, he was not accustomed to that, and he don't know how he will handle himself.

She cursed him to her heart's content as she saw him wearing only a dark blue robe, he had changed his clothes when she left to return the used dishes to the galley. When she entered back into the cabin, the first thing she noticed was him wearing just a robe and nothing else. She was fascinated at the view, so much skin was visible, the closing V of the robe was so wide and deep, it hardly covered his chest, black curls spread over his chest and his long well shaped legs spread and crossed as he relaxed in the comfy puffed chair. She stood there, just staring at him, don't know for how long, then she realized her actions, and with so much effort pulled her eyes away from the magnificent view.
Astha landed flat on her arse as she tried to climb into her swinging bed, she heard his laughter and glared at him.
"Guess I have to share my bed now" he said in between his laughter.
"No! I will manage in this one." She replied and tried again, she landed again on the floor, then she felt his hands in the process of lifting her. She stiffened at his touch but didn't stop him, she wanted too but his soulsucking eyes won over her protests, it was so intoxicating as if she was being pulled by them. She realized she was already on the hammock and she was again ogling at him, Astha stop staring at him like a girl! What has possessed into you?
"You aren't going to sleep in those clothes?" He questioned.
"I am, Captain." She replied.
"There's a robe you can sleep on, I wouldn't mind sharing it, since I told you, you can have my clothes."
And show you I'm a woman! Never!
"It's fine with me, I rather like sleeping fully clothed."
"Suit yourself, I have opposite views"
What does that mean? She wondered. She didn't wait any longer to know his meaning, before he laid on his bed, he slipped out of his robe.
Her eyes widened, oh god, he is not going to walk naked in this room, giving her full view of his frontal body. She didn't close her eyes, well not instantly, it's not something she sees every day, and he is very magnificent specimen of manhood. She couldn't deny it, no matter how much she wished to see extra flesh but he was truly well shaped from head right down to his toes.
Her eyes closed finally, she had seen more than she should see, his naked image was planted in her mind and she is not likely to forget that image. The man has no shame at all, look who's talking? You should've shut your eyes but you didn't!
She blushed but then grinned at her wickedness, why should she deprive herself from such a magnificent view?
