Chapter 3: Chapter 3

I gaped at his hands, fighting with my soul and mind whether should I take it or not. I glanced back at the house behind him, narrowing my eyes and looking through the windows to see if there was some ghost. However, I didn't sense or see anything strange. Just curious why there's a mansion in the middle of the woods. I sighed in defeat and then let myself get dragged by him.

Ethan was whistling a tune I didn't recognize when we stepped on the porch, observing the design of the wooden entrance doors before us. I raised my hand and then caressed the door, wiping off some dust particles. Bobby was on my right side, sitting and waiting for something to happen. I leaned my head and then patted him on the head. He's a good boy for finding out about this house.

There is no threat up ahead since Bobby isn't barking like a feral beast. I looked up again, then caught Ethan by my side, finding a way to get inside the house.

"The door's lock," he whispered, then rolled his eyes in annoyance. He stood there, crossing his arms, and observed the doors and how to open them without using any keys. I couldn't help but gape at this man. He's just standing there. His side nose is flaunting but looking like a damn model for a famous brand. He took a peek at my side when he sensed I was staring.

"You have an idea?" he asked and went to my side. He pursed his lips, arching his left brow, waiting for my answer. I breathed in, trying to concentrate on the mansion since my wind flew elsewhere.

"You could uh..." I looked at his long leg.

"Kick it?" Since he's assertive and muscular, I suggested that he can take down a door with no pain.

He nodded, taking my advice and then turning his back on me. I watched him when he rolled his neck, cracking the joints in his body when he positioned himself before the door. I took Bobby away from him in case the woods scattered around the area and will hit our precious Bobby.

Ethan inhaled then, without warning, set off his flying kick on the door. I closed my eyes and then wrapped my arms around Bobby when the door broke down and dropped to the ground into small pieces. I gasped in surprise, looking around the floor. Thanks to Ethan's ability to shatter things, the entryway is now wide open. This man is ruthless in any way.

"Let's go," Ethan took my hand and then guided me inside the white mansion. I gulped in suspense when I looked inside the interiors. Nothing is broken except the door. A high chandelier is hanging in the middle, a grand staircase, an elevated ceiling, and medieval human sculptures are on the wall. Everything felt like you were inside a chateau.

"Why is it abandoned here when this place could be like a tourist spot..." Ethan grumbled under his breath, taking his moment to stroke the stairs.

I don't know how to answer this question since we just got here. Nevertheless, Ethan does have a point. This place was exceptional, and it is gone to waste. Bobby dropped off of my arm and then strolled on the red carpet, rolling his body there as if he were in a comfortable position. I laughed and then sat beside him, playing with his fur.

"We can stay here for the night, Ethan," I exclaimed, then looked in his way just to see him gone. My eyes widened, standing up straight and looking around the area where he went.

"Ethan?" I asked, hysteria rising inside my chest since this place is enormous, and I don't know where I would start to look for him. I glanced back at Bobby, who didn't flinch.

"Ethan!" I screamed his name, going around in circles on the ground floor. He disappeared so quickly in just seconds. Oh god, did something capture him inside this place? I knew we shouldn't stay here for the night! I'm taking back what I said!

"Come on, Bobby. Let's find your daddy-" in just a blink, the whole place suddenly lit up, almost blinding me. I closed my eyes for a minute, adjusting to the surroundings.

"Hey."

I jerked when I felt a presence behind me. When I looked back, I saw Ethan encircling his hands on my waist, then turning me around to see the palace's magnificence. My jaw almost hit the ground when I wandered my eyes in each room corner. God, beauty was an understatement if you are going to describe the place.

I have a feeling this place was ruled by someone before. Someone paramount and influential in building this place. Bobby barked, then suddenly ran towards the grand staircase.

"I found a fuse in the basement. This place can still hold it." Ethan nodded, looking proud.

"What do you say? Do you want to live here? I mean, no one would find us here, Natasha. Everything in this place is what we dream for. We're outside the world out there." he suddenly kneeled down, begging to stay here.

I didn't say anything as I took my time to process everything. I walked past Ethan, looking up at the breathtaking chandelier before us. I closed my eyes and then played the scenarios in my head like a clip from a movie. Going to live here with the man I love somewhat made me breathless for a second.

"Okay," I looked back at him and then smiled. His eyes gleamed then he stood up, running to my spot to twirl me around. We laughed together as I encircled my hands around his neck. Even though I knew he wouldn't let go of me.

He dropped me to the ground carefully, then he placed my strands of hair behind my ear. The way his eyes glanced down at me screamed millions of emotions, but one thing was transparent.

"I promise you, Natasha. This place is our last, and we will build our own family in this safe haven we found."

It was his love for me.

Ethan took my hand and then carefully guided me towards the grand staircase. I followed him, my eyes not leaving his back. Each and every step we made echoed throughout the whole place. We were the only ones here. We own this mansion now. No one could take it away from us.

I am exhilarated by the idea that we will build a family here. I know it's impossible since we live far away from the cities. Still, we can survive without the contaminated environment, the whispers of thousands of voices, the busy road, and the morning yell coming from the neighbors.

Right now, what matters is Ethan and me. We left Bobby on the red carpet since he's already sleeping there. No one would have the courage to sneak up on us since they might think a creepy mansion in the middle of the woods would be something spectacular to encounter. That's how confident we are no one would bother us here.

Ethan ceased in his tracks, then he twisted the knob on the door right in front of us. He dragged me inside with care then he spun me around. When my hands landed on his chest, and my eyes were staring right into his soul, telling me stories, he took my breath away.

"I love you in every universe out there," he whispered, his face leaning closer.

I couldn't care about anything anymore. I closed my eyes and then let Ethan ravish my lips. He was like a hungry beast wanting to devour its victim. I wrapped my arms around his neck, getting support since I could feel my legs wobble, getting weak. What he's doing to me was sending thousands of electric flows through my veins. This man never failed to make my body powerless.

His free hand traveled down through my inside shirt, caressing my breasts. He didn't waste any more time as he pushed me slightly and then tore off the shirt. My eyes widened in shock since that was my favorite shirt. However, Ethan didn't mind since he suddenly lifted me up and carried me to the bathroom. He kicked the door open, and we went inside.

Ethan was leaving traces of kisses down my neck. I looked up, giving him free access. I heard water gushing suddenly open, and it poured down. There was a shower. It's bizarre since the place is abandoned, but the electricity and the water still work.

Ethan pushed me suddenly into the wall, but not brutally. He caged me between his arms. The water droplets were streaming down on his face, to his nose, and they dropped on my breast. He followed it with his eyes.

"Unhook your bra, then play with your nipples for me," he demanded, then he hissed, showing his fangs. I did not falter at first, but he suddenly spread my legs using his knee, causing me to gasp for air. He put his two fingers inside my mouth.

"Do it, or I won't fuck you here."

His dirty words made my core wet, so I had no other choice but to unhook my bra until it fell to the ground. Ethan smirk, loving what he sees.

"Play it for me. Pinch it, roll it with your palm, imagine it was me who's doing it."

His words were enough to make women fall to their knees and beg for him. I blush furiously as if I was still a virgin even though we had already made love multiple times. I didn't say anything as I listened to his order.

"That's it. You're doing great, baby girl."

I went faster until I was moaning like crazy, even though I was just massaging my own breast. I looked up when I felt Ethan's fingertips on my entrance, teasing it to come in. He opened my fold, and he started to thrust his four fingers into my pussy.
