Chapter 10.

It's not my taste.

Despite her inner child's satisfaction, the words came out of her lips: It's not my taste, it's horrible, I'll just go to another room and find something rustic and not so opulent. Hearing those words, Mateus knew she was lying. 

He could sense the lies in the air. Turning her around, he grabbed her shoulders and made her look into his eyes. He squeezed her neck with one of his hands and said: You may not agree that we're destined, but you can't lie to me so blatantly. I can see from your face that you liked it...

The elves can always guess someone's taste with just a glance, so don't fool yourself. If you go to another room, I'll order them to refill each room with what you think you don't like. ¿Do you understand, dear?

Then she simply tried to swipe at him, but he was made of stone and it didn't hurt him, it only hurt her, and then, bringing her close enough in front of him, he wrapped an arm around her waist and said: when the right time comes, you're going to be the one who begs for my presence, but she told him: that's a lie, I will never beg for your presence, I will never want to have you around, remember that for the rest of your life, then he said to her: ¿don't you know that as a guardian of life and death I have to spend six months in the world of the living and the other six in the world of the dead?, and I'm not going to kill you to take you with me to the world of the dead, I'm going to make you beg for just a second by my side, but before she could say anything Mateus kissed her, his stone lips crashing against her flesh lips were the roughest sensation there had been, it was forced, and by the time they separated some marks remained on her chin from the roughness with which he touched her that had been implemented…

However, she shook her mouth even though it was dry and said to him: I don't love you, I will never love you, I will never beg for a second by your side, maybe you're used to your current lovers doing it, but I can't do it…

Then he laughed and let go of her and said: ¿current lovers? I've never had a current lover, I've spent all my heat seasons in abstinence, I don't have lovers, for me as a leader there is only my destiny, the rest is irrelevant to me.

Upon hearing that she just asked: ¿how many seasons do you have in abstinence and how long does a gargoyle's heat last? It was then that with a laugh Mateus transformed into a human and told her: heat lasts four weeks and I have been leading this place since the last time the Guardian of the Lost Realms was seen and that was so long ago that Whistler was not even called Whistler, but was known as the kingdom of Tox, the former Kingdom of Hars, Shadowfax during that time was a principality that took refuge in Oblivion, but was preserved in time.
