My bare feet sweep the green glasses, they were so green and almost didn't look real, I giggled loving the feel of it against my feet, it felt like soft foam but also gave that spiky feel.
My light brown eyes studied the cloth I wore, it was a white empire waist gown, designed with white butterflies around it, I loved it, it was so beautiful.
I raised my head to study the environment, I was in the Eternal Garden? How did I get here? We left here right? And how did it get so late?
The moon was full at its highest peak, reflecting on everything and my silver hair as it glowed with the full moonlight.
Emerald flew to me, I smiled as it circled me.
"Emerald," I said, it sprinkled its dust making my dress shiny, I giggled.
But then my attention drift to a flowery path that lead to a platform, like a dance space, lights around it, and a man stood there, his back turned but I knew by that frame it was Cedric.
"Cedric," I said walking towards the path without taking my eyes off him, I walked the flowery path as the butterflies moved around.
I got to the platform as my feet touched the cold floor, I shivered a bit, but I didn't mind that.
Cedric turned to me with a charming smile, a smile? I couldn't believe this. He came to me and reach for me, I just stood where I was lost in his green eyes that always got me to drown in.
He took my waist, pulling my body to his, I gasped as my body instantly reacted in all sorts of ways I couldn't explain. He then took my hand with the other, my other hand against his shoulder.
And then we danced to a piece of music that suddenly played in a slow rhythm, like a piano.
We didn't take our eyes off each other as we did, the smile on Cedric's lips got me mesmerized, he looked so handsome with it on.
"You should smile more, it suits you," I say.
His smile broadens.
"For you, I would"
My eyes narrowed.
"I don't understand..." I began.
"Why are you so gentle with me?"
It was too good to be true.
"You're my wife, Sylvia" he leaned close, burying his face in my neck, a soft moan escaped my lips as he breathed in my scent.
"Cedric," I said softly.
We still moved in the dance as he did, and then pulled away. I gasped when I saw his now darken green eyes, but this time it was scarier, there where dark veins beneath them.
I quickly pulled away from him.
"What is Wife?" he asked smirking.
My chest rise and fell as I panicked, there was something off about him, he looked almost animalistic? Was that possible?
☆Branch Snaps☆
I gasped turning at the sudden sound, something was in the woods but I didn't know what, I turned back to Cedric but he was no longer there, I looked around, he was nowhere to be seen, like he just vanished in thin air.
I turned back to what could be inside the woods, I suddenly felt this pull to it, and then before I knew it, I was walking towards danger itself.
I stopped when I was in the middle of nowhere but I could still feel something behind a tree, but what was it?
And then something moved and then I saw a... a white fluffy tail?

I gasp awake, sitting up.
"My lady".
I turned to see Olivia.
"Olivia," I said still taking a harsh breath.
"Did you have a nightmare?" she asked with worried eyes.
"A nightmare", I didn't know what I would call it at this point.
"I don't understand how did I get here," I said looking around the chambers, I last remembered being in the carriage, did I fall asleep? was I that tired?
Olivia smiled and blushed at the same time like a dreamy girl. I gave her a look to explain her sudden mood.
"You were asleep when you both came back from the garden, Lord Cedric carried you in his arms and then brought you here" she squeaked.
"Oh..." I just made a sound, I didn't expect that even from Cedric.
"I will draw you a bath My lady," she said rushing out.
I felt my sweaty body, I seriously do need a bath, I turned to the sunlight reflection creeping in through the window, I must have slept through the night, I looked around.
And Cedric has disappeared, good, I wouldn't want to see his face after the dream I had of him, the animalistic look he had that chilled my bones.

Bathhouse
Olivia had to run an errand, I wouldn't mind taking a bath alone, I needed some space, yesterday a great deal happened, what was meant to be a romantic getaway turned into a nightmare, Mother hasn't summoned me yet and more Olivia said nothing about any rumor because I knew she might have caught it by now, but she was only excited about how Cedric carried me back to the chambers, did the whole household see that?
I gave a heavy sigh hoping it wasn't true, I opened the door leading to the bath, I stepped in as I allowed the robe around me to fall to the floor, I packed my silver hair up in a messy bun, I'm sure Olivia has already set everything for me.
I moved the curtain and stepped forward but then I came to a halt as my eyes went wide in shook, My brain shut.
Cedric was in the bath, and more he just stood, his back turned. A struck of desire flashed through me in an instant, what was before me... was uncalled for.
My wide eyes ogled his entire behind and his... I gulped... his masculine butt-cheek, so well sculptured, along with his backside, Dear lord, this was sin before me like a Greek god stood before me, his masculine body was daring and alluring, and lord that strong hip, his high waist, they were lean and fitted his body so perfectly.
The milky water traveling on his backside, traveling from his wet hair, his neck and his masculine back, that hard muscles of his, and more to it, there was a tattoo engraved on it, widely spread out, covering his entire back, it was in a drawing of well detailed black wings, submerge together and round, like it was compressed against his back, the feathers were so well detailed that it looked so real if it wasn't a tattoo and gave a dangerous look to it.
And as the milky droplets ran through it in the most alluring way that it called me to touch but I should know better.
I gulped, loudly and that caught his attention because he turned that moment.
