The Knight's Mysterious Maid-Chapter 262: Connected (2)

"It will not hurt," Rafael answered, urging her to do whatever was on her mind. He was excited until he noticed a few marks on her neck. "Did someone attack you?"

"Oh!" Annalise remembered, looking down at the cuts on her hands. "They should be fine by morning. They don’t sting anymore."

Rafael looked away from her neck since Annalise’s reaction showed that she had cuts elsewhere and found a long red mark on the palm of her right hand. "What happened?" Rafael asked, taking up her hand to see it more clearly.

"I killed someone and he kind of scratched me a bit. Trying to push away the sword also cut me. It is a fair trade considering I tried to dig out his eyes with my hands. I really need to get out of this dress," Annalise muttered, looking down to inspect the dress for any blood.

She was to get out of the dress to change into something that did not have death lingering on it when she returned, but coming to Rafael stopped her.

"What are the chances of someone coming to you now?" Annalise asked, turning around so Rafael could help her out of her dress. She would have to hide if someone urgently needed to speak to Rafael.

"As long as the door is locked, it doesn’t matter who comes. I won’t speak with them now," Rafael answered.

Unless there was another attack on the home, he didn’t care to hear from anyone coming to speak to him.

Rafael worked quickly to undo the buttons so he could see where else she had been hurt. The man was lucky to be dead after causing Annalise harm.

Rafael couldn’t help but appreciate the fact that when he wasn’t around Annalise could protect herself so nothing bad happened to her today.

"I just remembered," Annalise said, placing her hand in the dress pocket to get the charms she bought. "We weren’t able to stay in the market, but I managed to get the charms for you. They aren’t as expensive as what you have given me but it is a start. They are certainly better than my ribbon which I would like back."

"No," Rafael replied. In his eyes, the ribbon was more valuable than any charms she bought.

"Here I am trying to have a special moment by showing you gifts and you are more interested in getting me out of my dress. A little impatient aren’t you?" Annalise joked, standing up for a moment to let the loose dress drop to her feet.

When Rafael sat back, she noticed that he winced, meaning that his wound did hurt him. Obviously, it would hurt since he was human and Annalise was ready to remind him of the fact that he was human.

Annalise left her dress on the floor since it didn’t matter at the moment and sat back down on the bed. She held out the charms in her hands for Rafael to see so she could get it out of the way.

After Rafael took the charms and started to look at each of them, Annalise moved to carefully position herself on his lap. She smiled as Rafael lost interest in the charms and placed them on the bed. His hands came to settle on her waist.

"There is no need for me to guess what I need to do to get your attention. No, I always get it by doing nothing. There isn’t another part of you that is injured, is there?" Annalise questioned, slowly trailing her gaze down his chest and stopping when she reached the top of the long pants he wore.

"It is only my shoulder but you are welcome to do your own inspection," Rafael said.

"You are really something. You were a secret flirt all of this time. I don’t like how you turned me into a woman worrying for you to return safely. How dare you," Annalise said, moving further up his body to settle on the bulge in his pants.

"If you were worried, just say it, Annalise. It is starting to feel like I am about to be attacked rather than seduced. If you wish, you can cry on my shoulder and I won’t tell a soul."

"As if I would do such a thing. The only person to cry over you is your mother. I was ready to find you and drag you out of the fight. I am glad to see that you are safe, but what I don’t like is you lying about this wound hurting. Now I know how my father feels. Lay down on your back," Annalise said, ready to test whether his wound hurt or not.

"I am not going to hurt you," Annalise added after he didn’t move.

"It worries me that there is not a promise at the end of that sentence. Do you plan to tie me to the bed so that I can rest?" Rafael asked.

"Not when I know you might be able to break free from it. I did worry about you and it upsets me that I was so concerned about your safety. Normally I only have to worry about my safety. You are in luck that it made me realise how much more time I want to spend with you. How much closer I want to be," Annalise whispered as Rafael laid back. "Doesn’t life feel better when you just do as I say?"

"Annalise, come up a little further."

"Why? I can already feel how much you desire me. It isn’t a bad feeling. It is helping to convince me to go a little further with you tonight. How is it possible for you to look even more handsome when you are injured?" Annalise muttered, lowering herself to be closer to his face.

Annalise took hold of his hands and pinned them down beside his head. It hurt her to admit that he was far stronger than her and could easily break out of her hold, but as always, he was going along with what she wanted.

Annalise felt his erection pressing against her thighs. His pants were loose so it did not do a good job of hiding how excited he was right now. Annalise bit her lip as dirty thoughts filled her mind. Specifically, thoughts which concerned how it would feel to ride his length.

There was a tingling sensation in her chest as she thought about it.

"You are going to get me into a lot of trouble in the future," Annalise said, leaning down to kiss him. She could not resist doing it when she was craving him.

Annalise moaned as Rafael was quick to add his tongue to the kiss. She needed to be awarded for how long she was able to resist him in the past. Annalise moaned in the midst of the kiss when Rafael tightened his hold on her hands.

Instead of her pinning him down, her hands were now caged in his larger hands. Annalise meant for the kiss to be a sweet quick one to show how much she missed him, but desire became added to the mix quickly, and the kiss ended up being more passionate. More heated as the two of them gave in to how much they wanted the other.

Without thinking, Annalise started to move to feel more of his rigid length pressing right against warmth between her thighs.

It caught Rafael by surprise to feel Annalise taking it upon herself to feel more of his erection. He gripped her hands tighter to try to focus on something other than the pleasure that came from her moving. He didn’t want to get too excited when Annalise wasn’t ready to go any further, but right now, she was increasing how much he wanted to fill her.

It was uncomfortable to be restrained in his pants and not be able to have her right now. All he thought of now was being inside of her to give her the pleasure she desired, but Annalise wasn’t ready for that yet. If she was, she needed to tell him so he could give her what she sought after.

"Annalise," Rafael said, breaking away from the kiss. He had to let her know the torture she was putting him through. Wasn’t it enough that he had been stabbed? "Annalise-"

"I want you, Rafael. I want more of you," Annalise confessed, surprising the man beneath her.
