But she also knew that she wasn't worthy enough to have him. Just as Ruth lowered her face to hide her blush and struggled to find the right words, Ryan lifted her chin up with his injured arm. His fingers held her jaw in place and forced her to look him in the eyes.
"Look at me," he said. Ruth's blush darkened and he smirked. "You can't act like this didn't happen! I saved your life today, so you are going to have to repay me with yourself. You don't have the right to reject me now, you are going to be my wife whether you like it o r not!"
Before Ruth could react in any way, the man had already wrapped his other arm around her waist and pulled her towards him. "Master Ryan, don't..."
Her mind went blank and lost herself in what happened next. She had no idea when Ryan managed t o tear her clothes off or lift her up to the bed, but by the time she came to, she was snuggled up in his arms.
"Ma-Master Ryan." She couldn't bring herself to lift her head up. Were her clothes even wearable at this point?
Ryan tightened his arms around her waist and pulled her closer against his chest, before poking the tip of her nose teasingly. "Now I am completely yours, the injury on my arm is also for you, so don't you even
think about rejecting me!" "I...I would never reject you as long as you are willing t o marry me. Even if you don't want to, everything that happened between us today was consensual. I won't bother you or cling onto you in any way, so don't worry about that, Master Ryan."
"You little woman!" He pinched her bouncy red cheek. "What are you talking about? Hm? We haven't even got off this bed yet and you are already trying to establish boundaries?"
