Hundred-Sixty-Seven: Seducing the Protector
.Tanya Faith.
Do You Want Me?
They had been sitting in the Ravenclaw Commonroom sharing a conversation for hours now. Tanya was preparing her face for the nightlife as Merlin continued to guard her from forces he wasn’t sure about. He tried to figure her out, but the deeper he thought, the more confused he had become.
Holding a mirror in her face, Tanya began to apply makeup. Merlin was in a trance as he listened to her change the subject rapidly.
“Merlin, how do you feel about relationships?” Tanya asked as she grazed her lips with a burgundy lip stick.
“….It’s been awhile,” Merlin said as he nervously scratched his back.
“Well I’ll tell you right now they’re not worth it,” Tanya put her lipstick down and walked over to Merlin. Still ranting, she sat on his lap. “I mean….I’ve been in plenty. I’ve dated my best-friend, Colin, and between you and me,” Tanya edged closer to Merlin’s ear, “He and I can hear each-others thoughts sometimes. Then there was Harry….” Tanya let out a smile as she placed her arms around Merlin. “Oh Harry,”
“Tanya, where are you going with this?” Merlin questioned. She didn’t seem to hear him as she continued to go on about her relationships.
“Draco….well…I miss him,” She frowned. “But then there were my Shadows. I loved Kaden dearly. Oh, how I did. And Zeke….” Tanya positioned herself to straddle Merlin. “Well I don’t know, Merlin. I need a hug,” She said as she collapsed on into his chest.
Nervously wrapping his arms around her, he began to stroke her back gently.
“It’s just so hard having all of these feelings, Merlin.”
“You’re a veela, Tanya. You can have anyone you want that falls under your spell. People throw themselves at you but it seems that these people have resisted you in some instance. Is that why you think you love them? They gave you a challenge…” Merlin said as he wrapped his arms around her tighter.
“Not at first they didn’t. They all acted like they loved me but then…” Tanya let out a quiet sob.
“Its okay, my lady,” Merlin said as he wiped her eyes with his thumb. He let out quiet soothing sounds as he began to rock her.
Suddenly, she let out a sobbing giggle. “Don’t call me that. It turns me on!” She confessed.
“My lady,” He whispered teasingly.
Looking at him and biting her lip, Merlin once again wiped the tears from her eyes. She latched her fingers between his and guided him into the girlÂ’s dormitory.
She guided him over to her bed and pushed him down. She sat down on top of him and wrapped her legs on each side of him.
“Tanya, I…” Merlin tried to resist her passes. “You see your problem is…” He let out a quiet moan as she began to kiss his chest. “You have trouble choosing….Mmmm…And then when you can’t return the feelings to them…they…get hurt,” Merlin said as Tanya put her finger over his lips in a “shh” motion.
She began to kiss his neck passionately and Merlin could defiantly feel himself throbbing for her. He knew he never felt this way before, but questioned if it was just the veela taking over or if he was genuinely falling for her. Either way, he knew it would be dangerous for him.
