~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The world had suddenly fell in dense silence as if the time wasn't moving forward. The emotions hidden inside their eyes was complicated as they couldn't pull away their eyes from each others. Heaven knows that It's so unbearable to be stuck between love and hate over the same person. One time, it can send you over the nine clouds that show you the best moments in your life but the following moment, it can also show you the depth of hell burning and swallowing you whole eventually. 

Athena suppressed the deep pain buried inside her heart and faced him with the same coldness that he was boring in his expression. The pain on her ring finger increased more probably left a deep scare that couldn't be removed ever. 

Trembling over her own words, she rebuked weakly clenching her pained finger in a fist, 

" Then.. you.. should leave me alone.." 

She barely managed to spit out this words and gave him a vacant glare. Lifting up her hand shakingly, she sutured watching his expression turning darkened, 

" This ring won't change anything between us." 

She declared before attempting to pull out the silver ring that was burning her skin tremendously like a bonfire. As soon as her fingertips touched the hem of the ring, her body was harshly turned around before pressing against the edge of pool roughly. 

She gasped out loudly feeling the coldness of his muscular body behind her back. She struggled weakly and watched her hand clutching into a palm roughly. 

Ethan separated both of her hands quickly stopping her from pulling out the ring and at the same time, he squeezed her ringer comprised palm roughly. 

Athena let out a shrill cry feeling the burn on her finger increasing more as she felt her breathing turning heavy. Vampires are extremely allergic to Silver that give them the enormous torture once they get touched by it. Even a silver maiden dagger could kill any low blooded vampire easily. 

Athena whimpered pleading weakly, 

" E.. Ethan.. you are hurting me.." 

Ethan sneered coldly. Even though her painful cry was stabbing dagger in his heart but still his anger took the charge and decided to put a deaf ear over her pleading. Leaning beside her ears, he answered coldly,

" You are feeling hurt? Did you see that how much I was hurting inside for you?" 

Athena gulped arching her head away and murmured softly, 

" That's none of my business according to you.. Aahh.. Please take it off.. It is burning my skin...I can't bear it.. What the hell do you want? "

Ethan held the urge of taking off the damn ring hardly and exhaled a deep breath over her soaked skin. Athena shivered feeling the tip of his nose over her neckline and heard his hoarse tone, 

" Get out from the pool now. Then I will let you take it off." 

Athena's expression sank as she took a glimpse of the moon blankly. The moon was already on the verge of going down as she calculated that there wasn't so much time left for the ritual. 

Thus ignoring his unreasonable demand, she responded nervously trying to break free from his grip but he was much stronger than her, 

" No!! You go out first. I need to finish.. aaaahh... Ethan.." 

She screamed out in pain when he squeezed and rolled the ring on her finger purposely. The metal digged deep inside her slender finger earning a louder scream from her tongue. The pain turned so much more that she feared of losing her bones. 

Her whole body started quivering like a fallen leaf as she heard his monstrous tone whispering, 

" One more denial, this ring will be all over your body, Athena Richards. So think twice before you answer me. Would you still want to perform this ritual or not?" 

He asserted before laying his dark eyes on her alluring neckline. After soaking under the warm water, it appeared more inviting as he felt his throat drying. On the contrary, Athena was in the most miserable state as she couldn't choose either way to deny his order. 

She knew that she couldn't win against his strength physically or mentally.Just when, she decided to give up, she gasped softly feeling the numbness of his lips over her neckline. 

Turning her gaze sideway, she saw him sucking her moisty skin gradually and felt a rush of current coursing through her veins. Definitely she couldn't resist his temptation each time, he touched her. Swallowing down, she asked breathing heavily, 

" What... what are you doing?" 

Ethan paused before coming back to his sense literally. His face turned stiff when he realised that he couldn't resist the urge of her just at that point. Hiding the eagerness behind his gaze, he responded snorting out coldly, 

" Nothing.. I was just killing time.." 

Athena felt speechless before attempting to shove away from his embrace but the man held him back more tightly. Ignoring her burning gaze, he demanded in a raspy voice, 

" If you are thinking about going out from the pool, I can help you with that. But you are daring to push me away, there's no chance of escaping away from me." 

Athena felt her blood boiling as she groaned in pain and anger, 

" There's no way that I'm going to listen you. Either you let go off me or not, I will only get out once I'm done with my ritual. "

Ethan's face sank as if someone had given him a hard sleep to wake up from this daydream. She was willing to endure this severe pain for another man and didn't care about his order? 

He gazed at her stubborn face angrily as jealousy coursed through his entire mind vigorously. Letting out a dangerous laugh, he tightened the grip on her stomach and replied beside her ears slowly, 

" Fine, Athena Richards. You are willing to endure for another man? Then why will I suffer alone?" 

Athena suddenly paused between her struggling and asked nervously feeling a bad hint, 

" What.. what.. do you meant by that?" 

Ethan smirked cunningly and responded beside her ear, 

" Won't your ritual be incompleted if you still stay dirty? Huh? How about I have sex with you here?" 

Athena's face turned red in embarrassment as she sutured gnashing her teeth together, 

" Ethan.. You..are a bastard...Aahh.."

She screamed feeling his teeth gobbling her smooth skin harshly. On the flip side, Ethan had buried his head on the crook of her neck and bite down her soft skins roughly leaving his teeth marks that could be noticeable by anyone. 

Letting out a low moan, she heard his magnetic tone while nibbling her skin, 

" The more you will insist, the more you will suffer Athena. Don't turn me on. You still have time to decide what you want to do." 

Athena bited down her lower lips tightly as she felt herself moaning and crying at the same time inside. She didn't understand why was he acting so weird today? 

At first she assumed that he might get jealous over her marriage and was gone insane. But after putting on the silver ring, her assumption had been faded away instantly. Undoubtedly he was here to torment her only and enjoyed watching her turning helpless. 

Squeezing her eyes shut, at first she thought of enduring this humiliation until the ritual comes to an end and solemnly hoped that Ethan would stop his dirty acts. 

But unfortunately he was turning more aggressive as soon as his lips tasted the sweetness of her aromatic skin that was smelling like jasmine flowers. Subconsciously his right hand that was on her waistline crawled up and discovered her sensitive spots easily. 

A gentle yet cold palm brushed over her curves gently giving her shiver in her spine as she whimpered again. Her nipples had turned hard and erotic as she sensed his restless breathing beside her ears igniting the fire inside her. 

His lips continued sucking her skin that felt so addictive under his lips. His crawled palm discovered the hardness of her chest as he squeezed it hard over the clothes. Athena let out a loud moan arching back as she felt her burning in desire. 

For a moment, she really forgot that they had so much hatred between them and wanted to enjoy this peaceful moment. 

Her breathing continued heavily as she felt her drowning in pleasure. Ethan felt more aroused hearing her soft moans and groped her cushion before plumping it into a heart knot. 

Athena let out a louder moan more louder than she imagined and started panting more vigorously. Watching the moonlight vanishing away, she regained her usual composure fast and blurted out, 

" Leave me! I'm coming out from the pool.!" 

Ethan paused before coming back to his calm thoughts and looked at her blushing face. Even though he felt satisfied that finally she decided to leave the ritual but he felt pained when she showed reluctance over his touching. 

Sighing softly, he resounded cold leaving her arms, 

" Very good!" 

Athena gasped softly before coming out from the pool quickly. Turning around, she spotted the moon that was still up and knew that her ritual had been left incompleted. After all, she needed to spend more time under the water.

 Furthermore this man had laid his hands all over her body, how come she stay pure after this?

Ethan also came out after her and saw her expression turning grim and hurt. Looking down, he found that she was still wearing the ring and felt his heart pained more. 

Moving closer, he held her arm gently intending to take it off but suddenly Athena shouted in a choking tone, 

" Don't touch me! What do you want again? I have done everything that you have demanded. Leave me alone.." 

Ethan didn't let out a single word and tolerated everything that she wished to say. Pulling her hand up despite having her protests, he gently took it off and replied looking through her raged eyes,

" It was hurting you.! "

Athena was stunned before gazing back at him deeply..!
