"Rose, it's alright. No one is going to hurt you." Balok was trying to calm her. She was trembling like mouse. No wonder she was afraid of men. He recalled her scared expression when they first met and let sigh. Balok wanted to see her happy expression, wanted to see her happy and safe.
"No it won't. When we apart I will once again have miserable life. They will find out that I am prostitute, they will hurt me. I would rather die than live like prostitute." she sobbed. "I just want to have a normal life. Is it too much to ask?"
"No. Of course not! Every living being wants that. I promised to protect you and I will." It seemed that Rose calmed a bit.
He was more than glad because of that. It also worried him that he almost revealed his dark side. Well, being a dark elf, it was quite normal for him to be dangerous and intimidating to the enemy, but Balok did not want to lose Rose's trust and for her to be afraid of him.
The situation was being pretty ironic, she should be afraid of him and run for her life. Instead she was comfortable in his presence and never thought about leaving his side. Not until she said that they would move apart. Yes, Rose trusted him, but Balok somehow wished for a moment that it was different.
"Rose, I have to take bath, don't worry. I am not going nowhere." Rose nodded and let him go. Taking opportunity that water was still warm and was not dirty, the dark elf took off his cloth.
Rose sat on the bed watching with amazement how water drops were licking his night, muscular body. He was so handsome. It was no surprise she wished to kiss, hug and touch him. He was like sweet poison, just asking to be drunk. He saw her expression of desire and quickly sat up from bath. Balok took a few steps forward and in moment he was on the edge of the bed.
