The Tyrant's Pet

Abel toured Aries around the forbidden mansion, although there wasn't anything to see. But she was interested in the place for the obvious reason, especially when they reached his room.

Aries walked around Abel's room in the forbidden mansion, which barely had anything other than a bed and a few stands. There weren't chairs to sit on like what anyone had for their chambers.

"Do you stay in here?" she asked, standing in front of an empty stand and wiping the top of its surface with her fingertip. She checked her finger to check if she got any dust, but not a speck of dust clung to it.

"Rarely." Abel plopped down on the edge of the bed, hands on either side of him, eyes on Aries. "Darling, come and let's make love."

Aries chuckled and looked back. "You ask as if you're simply asking for a candy."

"What's the difference?" he cocked his head to the side. "I suck and lick you."

"Oh, Abel." Aries turned on her heel, leaning her back against the stand while folding her arms under her chest. "What time did you wake up? Shouldn't you use this time resting?"

"And what makes you think I am not resting right now?" he returned in a knowing tone, narrowing his eyes to size her up from head to toe. "I'm sitting, looking at the most gorgeous lady my eyes had laid upon, and doing nothing to her. This is resting"

She pursed her lips, suppressing the laughter that was tempting to escape her throat. She arched a brow, watching him pat the side of the bed, wiggling his brows with a grin plastered on his face.

"Well." Aries shrugged, unlinking her arms and marching towards him. When she stood in front of him, Abel looked up. He instantly raised his arms around her waist, feeling her rear with his palm.

"Why am I so aroused by the sheer thought of fucking you in this room as if it was completely unexpected?" he crooned, grinning from ear to ear. It felt like they were teens locked in this very room for the most innocent reason, only to feel this indescribable lust with the sheer thought of having just the two of them.

"Ahh… let's do it on the stairs." His brows rose excitedly while Aries slapped his shoulder.

"Won't you be happy if I pin you down here?" she teased, planting her hand on his chest. Aries pushed him down ever so slowly, raising her foot on the edge of the bed. However, just when she bent over with a playful grin, the door creaked ever so slowly but loudly.

"Grandpa?" Aries instantly froze as soon as Sunny's voice caressed her ears. She jumped away on instinct, leaving Abel hanging as he spread his fingers.

"Oh, Sunny?" Aries turned her head towards the door. Her eyes fell on Sunny, holding the door open, looking back at them innocently.

Sunny blinked twice, darting her eyes between Abel, lying on the bed with his feet over it and still touching the floor, then at Aries, who already stood beside the mattress. The latter looked a bit nervous, smiling awkwardly as if she was caught red-handed.

"Are you going to make my uncle?" she asked, and obviously, Abel shamelessly replied, "was about to, little girl, until you came in and ruined the mood."

Aries glared at him before sporting a bright smile at Sunny, advancing in the little girl's spot. She squatted down to look at the little girl at eye level.

"Sunny, what are you doing here?" she asked, diverting the little girl's attention from the subject a child shouldn't even know about. "Were you lost?"

"Sunny stays in Tilly's house."

"Tilly's house?"

"This is Tilly's house."

"For your information, this isn't Mathilda's house. It's mine." Abel rolled his eyes, still lying flat on the bed, sporting an ugly frown. "It just looks like it's that house."

Aries and Sunny cast him a cursory look before the former faced Sunny. "Have you eaten?"

"Darling, that is the funniest question I heard all day." He intoned in disbelief, but Aries ignored him.

"Mhm. Grandpa fed Sunny before he returned to where Grandmama sleeps."

"Oh…" Aries bit her inner lip and glanced back at Abel. 'So that's what he did when I didn't see him when I woke up, huh?'

"Then…" Aries trailed off as she set her eyes back to Sunny, wondering what she should tell her. Obviously, she and Abel were in the middle of flirting and were about to take it to the next level, but it would be in her conscience to send Sunny away to continue. The latter might not be a normal child, but she was still a child in Aries's heart and mind.

"Grandmama, Sunny will show you around Tilly's house." Sunny offered adorably, clutching Aries's arm with her chubby small hand.

Studying the little girl's round face and doe eyes, Aries's heart melted. Hence, before she could even think about other things or people — Abel, to be exact — Aries already nodded.

"Sure," she said, reaching for Sunny's hand before straightening her back. Aries then shifted her eyes to Abel, seeing him arched a brow. "Sunny will tour me around. I'll see you later."

Aries winked and grinned at Abel, and without waiting for his reply, she looked down at Sunny. "Shall we?"

"Mhm!" Sunny smiled, almost giving Aries a heart attack at the level of cuteness this girl wields.

With that being said, Sunny guided Aries out of the room to tour her around the house for the second time. Even so, Aries found it interesting. Abel toured her just minutes ago, but each room from Sunny's perspective was different from the original information from Abel.

<strong>Meanwhile,</strong> Abel stayed in the same spot in his room for minutes. His frown slowly faded, listening to the footsteps faintly echoing within the mansion. He might have stayed in the room, but he was listening to Sunny's and Aries's voices in silence.

"I see…" he mused under his breath, chuckling dryly. "That house… sounds less boring with more tenants in it. No wonder Mathilda had bothered sending that glutton here."

The side of his lips curled up before he arched a brow. Abel propped his elbow against the mattress, pushing his body up. He then turned his head towards the balcony, and his lips stretched from ear to ear.

"Another guest," he whispered, sauntering away from the bed and onto the balcony. "They seemed to have decided that Haimirich will be the meeting place... things are looking more interesting."
