Chapter 691 Wind Bearer- Part 2
With the element bearer gone, the bubble of air that had been surrounding burst out for the raindrops to fall back on her but she didn"t care about it. She couldn"t believe that she had finally been bestowed by not just one but two of the elements.
Now that the elemental bearer had vanished, Caitlin walked towards her when Penny was looking at both her hands, "Is it complete?" asked Caitlin.
Penny nodded her head, "It is. I will have to learn how to control them now."
By the time both Penelope and Caitlin had gone back to the carriage, the rain had stopped. They caught sight of the coachman who had taken shelter at the building that had an extended roof on top of it.
Upon seeing them, the coachman quickly stepped out of the sheltering roof and made his way quickly towards the carriage. Walking around the carriage in time, he opened the door for the two ladies to step inside the carriage and then close it.
When they reached Quinn"s mansion and stepped out, Penny saw Damien who had been standing outside as if waiting for her to return home. As they were outside and had abruptly left the mansion in the carriage Penny had not kept track of her time.
"How long have we been gone from the mansion?" Penny asked not sure why Damien right now was having a smoldering look on his face as he looked at her.
She waved at him with a smile to see him narrow his eyes, "Where have you been to?" Damien asked her when she walked towards him. She noticed how his eyes took note of her wet hairs that were in the process of drying and her dress that was drenched wet in water.
Seeing no one around, Penny grinned looking at him. Caitlin didn"t say anything but walked inside to change her clothes seeing Damien was there to stay beside Penny. Penny made sure no one was around and when she was about to say where she was, the man pulled her into his arms. His hands tightening around her, she heard him say,
"I was worried when I didn"t find you in the mansion and no one knew where you were," Penny smiled hugging Damien back. It was usually Durik who kept an eye on who came and went from the mansion but as she had turned him to a toad, there was no one to inform.
She buried herself in his arms as he didn"t mind himself turning wet by her already wet clothes, "I would come back to you no matter where I went," she responded back to him.
Rubbing his back, Penny pulled away when his hold loosened around her.
"I met him. The wind element."
"You found him?" Damien asked, raising both his eyebrows.
Penny smiled, "He has been waiting in the forest."
"What a kind gentleman," Damien murmured, "Do you feel any change?" she shook her head.
"Nothing for now but he did say that I have now been bestowed with both the elements of water as well as wind," she explained to him.
"No need to summon the water lady? I was looking forward to meeting her," he murmured in disappointment that he couldn"t annoy the woman with a genuine reason, "What did he say?"
"That I will need to harness the ability myself and there"s no actual guide for it but..." Penny paused before saying, "Lady Isabell"s book had a few instructions in there about the elements. So it shouldn"t be much of a trouble."
"Glad to hear that. We can always summon the water lady for questions. Let"s get you out of those clothes," he intertwined his fingers in her before tugging her with him.
Going up to the room, Penny removed the clothes that she wore, stripping one after another to take a warm bath along with Damien in the tub. She felt Damien kiss her neck that had her smiling. His fingers trailed up and down her arm as his lips found the back of her ear. Having him in the bath felt good that her eyes closed by themselves as she indulged in the warmth of Damien had to give her.
"How was work?" Penny asked him with a smile lingering on her lips, "Ah!" she felt his teeth bite into the upper part of her lobe.
"It was interesting," he whispered into the sh.e.l.l of her ear.Damien didn"t want to bring up about her mother and spoil the good mood who could sense radiating from Penny right now. Right now he could sense how at ease her heart was and he didn"t want to disturb it.
As if sensing something, she turned around to look into his dark eyes that reflected her back. With her one arm on his chest, she stared for a second more before leaning closer to his face and he helped her around in the small tub to have her face whilst holding her waist. Leaning forward, he captured her lips with his own.
He licked the seam of her lips to have her part her lips to slip his tongue into her mouth. Penny clutched onto his shoulders, feeling the muscle under her hand. She didn"t know when her own lips had turned greedy as she wanted Damien more and more with her lips kissing him.
She flinched when Damien"s fang nipped her bottom lip, "It stings," she complained to have him chuckle.
"That was the point. Come, I want to show you something," he said helping both of them out of the bathtub.
She had one of the black towels wrapped around from her shoulders and the other around the chest when she saw Damien walk towards one of the closets to pull out a brown box that was quite big. He came back to her with the towel that was wrapped around his waist.
"What is this?"
"A surprise," Damien said, going to sit on the edge of the bed he waited for her to open it. When Penny pulled the box closer and opened it, she didn"t have to pull out the dress to know what it was. Her green eyes moved slowly from the grand looking white dress to look at Damien, her heart started to skip beats,
"This...this is a wedding dress," she whispered.
