Chapter 240 Relationship gone sour
On the drive back to the governor's castle, Esong called her and she answered the call immediately. With him, it was a never a voice call, it was always a video call because he wanted to see her face.
"Good morning." She said with a sigh.
"Good morning my drunk little wife." He answered.?He was shirtless, as he always was usually during their calls lately. This morning, he was not just shirtless, even his pants were gone and he was carrying a pillow in his arms.
He had managed to get some sleep the previous night because he was lying on his bed, he had bed hair and that come hither look, he gave her in the mornings when he was hoping to get lucky and attempting to seduce her. After hearing about the suppressants and their side effects, she now knew why he was in such a mood, almost all the time lately.
Ignoring that look, she said, "I am not drunk, I did not get drunk." She replied with an emphasis on her state of mind the previous night. "Wait, how do you know that I went out drinking?"
He smiled. "Your guards keep me appraised on all your movements; this should not be news to you my dear. You also made the news, not official news but star net gossip kind of news, the female governor going solo in a bar during winter, yay or nay." He read this exactly as a blogger had written it.
"Dang it!" she mumbled, "My mother will have another reason to nag if she sees this."
"Why? You went out with your friends and there is nothing wrong with that, you are allowed to have fun. I go out with my friends all the time and nobody ever makes a big deal out of it except to discuss our good looks."
"Are you bragging?" she asked him.
"Why should I not brag, I am good looking, just take a look at me." He flexed his biceps, exposing his green flame tattoo which was identical to hers. He caressed his abdomen slowly, touching his abs and he licked his lips in a way that was meant to entice her."
He was a very handsome man, no doubt, with his silver hair flowing down like that and the way he was acting, he reminded her of a male exotic dancer in a movie, she just couldn't recall it's name. She could not help thinking that if Esong was female, maybe he would be twerking and gyrating in a short skirt right now, "Tsk, tsk, our mecha king, please rein in the horniness." She told him.
"What is horniness?" he asked.
"It's a word that means your libido is high and acting up, you are horny."?She explained.
"Horny for you!!" he said in a deep voice.
Scarlet guffawed and covered her mouth, but then, she loudly burst into laughter.
Esong stopped the movement of his hands and gave her an aggrieved look instead. "Why are you laughing? Don't you find me attractive anymore?"
"Because right now, you remind me of a female cat I had, when it was in heat it would be overly affectionate and demanding, like you. It would also rub up against me all the time which you would be doing if you were here and it would display a mating position by lifting its buttocks and exposing its private bits. In a way, you are exposing bits of yourself too, so in conclusion, you are in heat."
"Hmph," he replied.
"How do you usually handle that one week when you are like this? I know others go home to their wives and partners. Others go to pleasure houses; the rich hire a specific maid for this purpose. What about you?"
"My hand and some toys if I was too desperate but if I could tolerate it, I would train." he replied honestly. "But now that I have you, we can lock ourselves in the bed room all day and do all sorts of wild things."
"We have a child_"
"He has grandparents, and dozens of Su's to take care of him for a while. I have missed you; look even little Esong has missed you." He stood up and made sure that she could see the bulge in his underpants clearly.
He was acting slightly needy and sounded completely the opposite of his usual self. What did they put in those suppressants exactly?
"I am home now Esong, I have to cook for Justin, make an official announcement on television and then do a live broadcast. We will talk again later when you are free and in the meantime, try taking a cold shower, I think it will help. Take some ice cold water and dunk your body into it."
He sighed, and said, "Alright, bye for now."
She got out of the car and walked in a different direction than usual, she planned to use the side entrance to her quarters instead of the main doors. This part of the castle was rarely used by anyone because access to it was restricted, and only she or Esong could use it.
Before walking further, he glanced at two figures fighting close to the frozen fish ponds near the Maddox library.
"Is that Amara and my brother Adler?"
"I believe so governor." Tion answered her.
"Again." she mumbled.
Things had been very tense between those two since Amara arrived on the blue star. She kept trying to talk to Adler but he avoided her as if she was a plague. When he saw her coming, he would turn and walk in the opposite direction.
It was no longer uncommon on the blue star to see Amara physically running after Adler who was always trying to escape her as if she was a demon.?If anybody in the family tried to talk him about her he would glare, brood and lock himself in his room. They all hoped that she would be the one to ask him about their connection because if he would open up to anyone, it would be her, Scarlet.
The little information that she got from the white cat that loved snooping around for her was that Adler ate Amara's ring and triangle, whatever that meant. She was sure that the white cat had brought her wrong information because that was its talent, spreading misinformation.
"What do you suppose happened between them?"?She asked Tion.
"A relationship gone sour," Tion answered. "No man is that determined to stay away from such a pretty woman if they did not have a sexual relationship of some kind. Not after the way he reacted when she was injured, I saw your brother, that look in his eyes was worry and fear. But as soon as she opened her eyes, he changed and became cold and distant."
That was the common guess, Amara was Adler's ex-girlfriend, but how deep did their relationship go and what made it sour?
