She Belongs To The Devil

Chapter 56 - How Many Women?

Theodore raised both of his hands and pushed his black hair behind his head. His body looked as healthy as ever. He was still wet and his whole body was shining in the moonlight. He looked like the epitome of perfection.

One thought struck Adeline's mind, "How can someone look so perfect?"

Adeline carefully inspected Theodore's face and thought, "Is it just me or does Theodore really look a little young?"

Adeline was enchanted by Theodore's incredibly perfect body and could not help but stare at him. Water droplets were dripping from Theodore's body and under the moonlight those water droplets seemed as if they were drops of silver.

Subconsciously, Adeline started to caress her own neck with her fingers. And her sapphire blue eyes started to follow the water droplets falling down from his raven black hair, to his sturdy biceps, then down to his tightly tones chest and stomach, and his strong looking thighs and calves… 

And obviously, Theodore was watching Adeline very intently with a devilish smirk lingering on his lips.

Adeline's came out of her trance state when she heard the deep and captivating voice of Theodore.

"You can drink this water if you are that thirsty." Theodore was pointing his finger at the water that was falling down from the top of the fountain.

"Or…" Theodore started to lightly rub his finger on his lower lip and continued to speak in his deep but low voice, "… I can mouth-feed you if you like."

Once again, Adeline's face turned red like the daisies that were blooming in Theodore's garden. She was embarrassed that Theodore had caught her red-handed, drooling over his body.

Adeline could not even speak a word and she swiftly turned around. She got out of the fountain and ran towards Theodore's room.

Theodore followed her with a huge grin on his face. He liked it when Adeline would look at him like he was the most beautiful man in the entire universe.

Most of the humans and spirits that he had met till now would tremble in his presence. Even the most powerful Kings would not even dare to look at him directly. He was one of the most feared Devils even in the Hell. And here was this tiny woman, who could directly look him in the eyes and would treat him as if he was her world.

When Theodore entered his room, Adeline had already found his black robe made out of silk. And she presented his robe to him while still looking away from him. "Put it on."

Theodore chuckled and then took his robe from her hand. Then he slipped into his comfortable robe and immediately lied down on his bed. "You can look at me Adeline, I'm already dressed."

Adeline turned around to see Theodore back to his usual self, naughty and charming. She also lied down on his bed beside him and cuddled with him. And she asked in a voice full of worry, "Who did that to you Theo?"

"I had a little scuffle with an old acquaintance of mine." Theodore said it as if it was nothing much to worry about. But deep down, he knew that the matter was very serious.

Adeline furrowed her brows and asked, "An old acquaintance?"

"Yes, someone I knew thousands of years ago. I cannot believe she still held her grudge against me even after all these years."

And out of all the words that Theodore said, one particular word caught Adeline's attention, 'She'.

Adeline's heart beat escalated and her mind ran wild in every possible direction. "Who is this acquaintance that he is talking about? Judging by how she has lived for thousands of years, she must be an immortal. Was she his girlfriend? Wait, what if she was his wife… what if she is his wife? He has already lived for a thousand of years so it's not impossible right? How many women has he already been with before me?"

Theodore felt that Adeline's body was stiffening. And as if he could read her mind, he told her, "She is a Demoness that I met once, and that was thousands of years ago. You don't have to worry, you don't have any competition."

But that was not enough to answer all the burning questions that were raised in Adeline's mind. She wanted to know the answer to all her questions but at the same time she was also afraid that his answers would hurt her greatly.

She knew that he was an ancient being and she speculated that in his long lifetime, he must have had many women to entertain him. Looking at his face, she could only imagine that there must have been tens of thousands of women who would have loved to warm his bed.

But she hated it. She hated the thought of Theodore lying in bed with some other women. And worse, she was now imagining that she was just another woman to be lying with him.

Nonetheless, after some courage she was ready to hear his answers, and she asked, "How many women were there in your life before me?"

Theodore smirked and tried to look at Adeline's face. But Adeline was hiding her face under his chest and he could not see the expression on her. However, he did not need to see her face to tell how she was feeling right now. He could tell that right now, she was at the crest of jealousy.

Theodore took a deep breath and said in a monotone, "Actually, I don't exactly know how many women I have been with before. I stopped keeping the count after a few years of roaming around the Earth. But I can tell how many Goddesses and Angels I have been with. I still remember the number because they were special than the mere mortal women."

And that right there was a big mistake that Theodore made.

Adeline jumped out of the bed and ran outside of Theodore's room, onto the garden and she still kept on walking further. She ran towards the huge wooden door that separated Theodore's personal space from the other parts of the cave.

Theodore could feel the stinging pain in his heart and he knew that pain was not his but Adeline's. "Did I say too much?" he thought and ran after Adeline.

"Adeline… Adeline… wait. I was just joking. I didn't mean any of that." Theodore was shouting on top of his lungs but Adeline was nowhere to be seen. All he could see was the large wooden door which was left ajar.

Theodore's eye color changed to red and he uttered under his breath, "No, no, no… don't tell me she went outside." He had already feared the worst.

And he immediately dashed outside to find Adeline.
