I really wanted to punish her. She tried to run away. I helped her, I didn't harm her, I protected her family, and above all, I love her madly, she still wants to run away from me. Why? Can she not give me just one chance? She can die for the people whom she cares for, and I want to be one of them. But she is already scared. Any wrong move will again take her away from me. Her shivering lips, her pink nose and cheeks, and her scared eyes, I so badly want to kiss them off and ease her pain. But she will get more scared if I'll do that. No, I have to control myself and start making her comfortable around me. Only then she will be able to accept me and love me back. All I want is her love, and if she didn't agree by force, now I'll try to convince her in other way.

After I told her about getting ready for punishment, she was looking down, shivering more. I know she is expecting kiss or any other sexual contact as a punishment, but this time I'll surprise her. She always amazes me with her beauty and kindness, now it's my turn. I'll show her that I can be good too.

"Cook for me" I said calmly

"Wh..ha..what?" She asked surprised. Obviously she wasn't expecting it. She was looking shocked.

"I am hungry, since you ran to police, they called me to meet them urgently, I haven't had anything since yesterday, and If I will not get something to eat soon, then I'll eat you up. So decide, will you cook for me or will you be my food?" I said jokingly to lighten her mood, but she was scared enough to not take it lightly.

"Ohh.ohhkayy, bu..but I don..n't know wh..where is the ki....kitch..en"

I smiled genuinely looking at her sweet surrender and lead her to the kitchen.

I don't understand him. What he does is out of my mind. One minute he was scaring the hell out of me and other minute he asked me to cook for him. Honestly, it wasn't expected but I am still thankful that he stopped on just cooking. I cook well so I think I will escape easily today from him. He led me to the kitchen and it was huge, we came inside it where almost 5 cooks were standing. When they saw us, they bowed their head in front of us.

"You all are dismissed for now. You can go." He said and immediately all the cooks left that kitchen leaving two of us alone there.

There were a lot of cooks; they must cook fantastic as they have been employed for this work from years. How can I compete with them? If Ayan doesn't like my cooked food then he will again become angry and start with his other punishments. So I decided to tell him beforehand

"I..I am not a very good cook. You have so many cooks, they can cook for you. Why do you want me to cook? Besides, I don't know what is kept where in this huge kitchen, and you sent away all of them. How will I cook now?" I said looking down fidgeting with my fingers. He chuckled which made me look up in his eyes. What is so funny in this?

"Princess, why can you not see my love? I love you so badly that eating a bad cooked food is nothing for me. Besides, I know that you cook amazing, and you will cook for me today. I don't want to listen any of your excuses. And about finding things, we can find them together. Okay?" He said cupping my face. He was behaving so soft after that incident. And this soft side of him was scaring me more. It seems like it is the silence before the storm. I just hummed but then another query popped up.

"Buut what will I cook? What would you like to eat?" I asked, confused.

"I would like to eat you. Be my food?"

"Huhhh" What did he just say

"Ahh nothing, tell me what would you like to eat?" He said, grinning widely

"I am not hungry. You are. So you should tell what to cook."

"I am hungry but not for food. Can I eat what I want?" He said with a mischievous glint in his eyes

"If you aren't hungry then why did you ask me to cook? I think I should leave now. You are going mad." With this, I started walking away from him towards the lift but he grabbed my hand and yanked me back towards him.

"Don't forget princess this is your punishment. So it should be me who orders and you who follow. How about making pasta with apple pie?"

"Sss...sure, I'll make it." And here my fear returned. I immediately went back to kitchen and started collecting ingredients for making pasta and apple pie. But it was very difficult to find things in such a huge kitchen. Although everything was organised in that kitchen, but still it was too huge to find what is kept where. I started finding the required ingredients and initiated the cooking process. Ayan was sitting on the kitchen counter typing furiously on his phone and stealing occasional glances at my side. Cooking always calms my senses and it was doing exactly the same at this time.

She was cooking for me, only for me. I was feeling so happy. It felt like home after a long time. She was looking at me occasionally, but I pretended as if I am busy with my work, but my whole concentration was on her, only on her. And how can it not be, it was she who was cooking for me for the first time. I wish I could tell her how badly I want this to happen every day, but she is so afraid of me that she will get a different meaning from this as well. She chopped vegetables carefully, put pasta on flame to boil and started preparing pasta sauce side by side. She was doing all of this with so much perfection like she was an expert chef. But I know that she knows all household chores very well, so she might know such stuff as well. She was preparing apple pie batter. She chopped the apples in small pieces and now she was pouring the batter in the baking tray. I was not able to resist my urge to hold her longer and I went to stand behind her silently. Suddenly I caught her waist from behind and pressed her body to mine. But unfortunately she thought of some danger and screamed

"Ayan please help, there is someone here. Helppppp" and she covered her face with her hands which were already covered with the pie batter

"Hey! Sshhhh it's me, Ayan. Don't worry I am here, calm down." I turned her to face me, she was still covering her face with her hands. As soon as she realised my voice, she removed her hands from her face and spoke

"I..I was sc..scared." She spoke lowering her eyes, her face too was covered with the Apple pie batter now which made her look cute. She never fails to look beautiful even in her worst form, I thought but then I realised the need to calm her down first.

"It's okay. I am sorry, I wasn't able to control myself. I am here. No one is going to hurt you." I hugged her and patted her back lightly to calm her down. Her breathing became normal and she detached herself from me after some time. I suddenly missed the softness of her body, but she stood there in front of me looking at the floor. I noticed the cream batter on her face and tried to lighten the atmosphere. I suddenly cupped her face and licked some of the batter from her cheek. She immediately gasped and I moved towards her ear

"This apple pie is not as sweet as you. But it's okay, I don't think I want any other thing as sweet as you in this world, but you cook amazing. I am waiting for the food in the dining room. Come soon." I whispered lightly in her ear and started walking out of the kitchen. I need to be slow in the starting. She needs time, and I can give her all the time if she stays with me. I ordered a maid to go inside the kitchen and help her finishing.

While walking out of the kitchen, I saw her red face and closed eyes. Soon Myra soon, I will replace all your fear with love. You will love me with the same passion as I love you, that day will come soon. This is my promise to you that I will make you only mine...
