She Belongs To The Devil

Theodore started playing with Adeline\'s silver hair and spoke in his hypnotizing voice, "You are not a normal guest Adeline, you are my special guest. And to make it clear, I don\'t bring many guests here. I don\'t like other beings invading my privacy. But of course, you are an exception."

The devilish smirk did not leave Theodore\'s lips. Both of them kept on staring at each other and were lost in the other\'s eyes.

After a while Adeline broke the silence. "Are you going to carry me daily from now on?" Adeline asked in a curious tone.

But Theodore countered her question with his own question, "Does that mean you will willingly come here from now on?"

Adeline puckered her lips when she realized that she had unintentionally accepted that she would be coming to Theodore\'s place every night from now on. Even though she was making excuses saying that her maids would find her, in reality she wanted to come over to his place.

But she wanted to make him think that she was not so easy to win over. She wanted him to think that she would not succumb to his orders, nor would she succumb to her temptations. So she started to play hard-to-get and said in a confident way, "I will think about it if you don\'t intend on carrying me in your arms every time we come in through the entrance."

Theodore smoldered his eyes and leaned closer to Adeline\'s face and teased her, "Then would you rather prefer me to carry you on my back?"

Adeline creased her brows and shouted, "No!"

"Thought so. Then it is final, you have just agreed to come with me every night and you also have agreed to let me carry you on my arms while walking inside." Theodore gave a whimsical grin to Adeline which almost made Adeline forget to breathe because the Devil looked really really cute when he was being playful.

Adeline wanted to say that she had not agreed to anything yet but the two love birds were interrupted by a slight knock on the door.

"Master, we have brought dinner." A voice was heard from the other side of the door.

Adeline got up in haste when she heard the voice. Then she straightened her gown and her hair, and elegantly sat down on the bed. She had already become a topic of gossip among those inside the cave and she did not want to give them more topics to talk about by sleeping beside their master.

Theodore, on the other hand, was unbothered. He was still lying down on the bed and keenly watching her every little movement. Every little thing that she did, he was finding them amusing. She never ceased to amaze him.

After Adeline was ready, he finally gave permission to the maids who have been waiting outside of the room. "Come in", Theodore did not even break off his gaze from Adeline while he answered.

Three of the maids, all of them human, quietly walked inside the room. One was carrying a small dinner table, one was carrying cushions to lay down on top of the beautiful carpet on the floor, and the last one was carrying a huge tray full of variety of delicious dishes.

The maids set the table for the two of them and then left the room.

"Come, let\'s eat", Theodore got up from the bed and went ahead and sat down on the cushion.

Today, Theodore was making Adeline feel nostalgic very often. The dinner table, the cushions, and Theodore, all of it reminded Adeline of the first ever dinner that she had with Theodore. Right now, he was even sitting in the same spot as the first time they had dinner together.

A merry smile appeared on Adeline\'s face and then she walked towards the empty cushion. She sat down beside Theodore, who was already cutting a beautifully cooked steak into bite-sized pieces.

The whole room was filled with the delicious aroma of the food in front of the dinner table. Apart from savory steak, there were dishes like egg rolls, boiled potatoes and corn, green soybeans, and some salads.

Adeline had skipped her dinner and the aroma was making her mouth water, and her stomach also reacted to the dishes on the table by making a loud grumbling noise.

Adeline pressed her stomach with both of her hands and pressed her lips together in embarrassment.

Theodore glanced at Adeline and then chuckled at her reaction. Then he shifted the plate of steak in front of Adeline and handed her a fork. "Don\'t ever skip your dinner again. You should not punish your stomach for the crimes that it did not commit."

Adeline shyly grabbed the fork from his hand and looked at the plate full of delicious looking meat. She gulped and then picked a small piece of meat with her fork. She slowly lifted the fork to her mouth and put the piece of steak inside her tiny mouth.

And almost instantly she closed her eyes and moaned due to the heavenly taste of the steak. She quickly chewed and swallowed the piece in her mouth and immediately stuffed several pieces of steak in her mouth at once.

She didn\'t know why the steak tasted so good but she was sure that she could finish the whole thing on her plate and even some more dishes as well.

Adeline had stuffed so much food in her mouth at once that her cheeks were looking chubby. Theodore was smiling and gazing at the cute chubby cheeks of Adeline. And he thought to himself, "I was right in asking the maids to prepare some food for her. Look how hungry she is. She can be so stubborn at times and ends up hurting herself."

When she was about to finish the whole serving of steak all by herself, she happened to glance at Theodore and noticed that he was not eating anything. She was so lost in the taste of food that she had forgotten for a moment that she was not in her own room and she was not alone.

She picked a piece of steak and then held the fork near Theodore\'s mouth. She swallowed the food in her mouth and politely asked, "Why aren\'t you eating? Open your mouth, come on."

This was a completely new experience for Theodore. No one had ever offered to feed him like this before. And when Adeline sweetly asked him to open his mouth, his heart almost melted. He appreciated the fact that someone was there in this world who genuinely cared about him and loved him.

Yes, he had his loyal followers who cared about him but they did that more out of respect for him rather than love for him.

And Theodore could say that Adeline was the only one in all the three worlds that loved him so dearly.

Theodore opened his mouth and Adeline placed the delicious piece of steak in his mouth. He felt as if the steak tasted even better when Adeline fed him with her own hands. "Aah", he opened his mouth again and waited for Adeline to feed him again.

Adeline smiled like a baby and then fed him again. Theodore grabbed the fork along with Adeline\'s hand and ate the food off of the fork. Then he gently pulled Adeline\'s hand closer to his mouth and kissed her hand. "The food tastes better when you feed me. I should let you do this more often."

Adeline gave a smug smile and teased Theodore, "This is the only time I am sharing my food with you. Consider yourself lucky because I am not going to do this in the future." Then she ate the final piece of the steak that was on the plate.

"Oh is that true?" Theodore raised his brows and gave a challenging look to Adeline. Then out of the blue, he flung himself towards Adeline, slightly grabbed her hair at the back of her head and tugged it.

"Aaaahh!", and when she opened her mouth because of the pain, he kissed her vigorously. She instantly closed her lips but he sucked her lips as if he was trying to lick off the savory taste of steak off of her lips. And then he tried to push her lips open.

Adeline hesitated for a while but she reciprocated and started to kiss him back. But Theodore did something unexpected and then gracefully sat back on his cushion.

Adeline\'s mouth was wide open due to utter disbelief on what he just did. Then she slowly spoke in shocked voice, "You just did not… steal my food from my mouth…"

Theodore moaned while chewing and teased her even more.. Then he smiled and said, "Oh I just did."
