Chapter Six- The Pact

Rae’s POV

With a delighted look, I stared at him, causing him to cough as he felt shy or maybe uncomfortable.

“I’m sorry, but Wait, What?” I asked, the excitement in my voice couldn’t be missed.

He began before chickening out, “I am…”

“Never mind me” he began backing away from me, reluctant to be himself around me, and I understood.

And to make him feel free, I let out a squeal and pounced on him before he knew it.

“I might have hated your family, especially your dad, but you just won my heart,” I said dramatically, trying to make him loosen up.

I saw his lips quirk into a smile.

The difference between Gunner and his dad was the fact that he was like a big teddy with a handsome face while his dad was like the big bad wolf panting while waiting to devour.

Devour me…

The thought of what had passed through us made me shiver in delight before Gunner pulled me back to the present.

“Rae!” He groaned over and over again while I had my fun.

Gunner groaned slightly, and I felt him loosen up a bit, and, unable to stop myself, I began planting subtle pecks around his face I had access to while muttering a “Thank You”.

“Rae…” he drawled as I broke through his defenses slowly.

Unexpectedly, he slipped me around, causing a squeal and more laughter to escape my lips, and towards the nearest sofa, he walked before I fell like a sack of rice on the bed.

Looking at him, I continued laughing while struggling to catch my breath.

“The fuck is wrong with you?” he began, trying his best not to join in, but my laughter was just too contagious for him not to succumb to it.

After laughing out our hearts for no good reason, I still hadn’t gotten over my shock upon finding out that he was gay, and to say I was happy, was an understatement because all I could sense was my freedom.

I could almost taste it too.

“Why though?” I thought out loud, unable to hold back my curiosity anymore.

“Why? Why what?” He asked back with his eyes scrunched, confused.

“Why am I gay or why don't I like women?” He joked, causing a chuckle to escape our lips.

“Not that silly, I mean it's obvious you don’t want me and are not interested in getting married to a woman, so why don’t you just tell…”

He interrupted with a sad laugh before completing my statement, “Tell my dad that I am not into women or tell him that I don’t want this marriage to hold?!”

The sarcasm in his words caused me to regret almost asking him.

“I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have asked… I just thought that if he knew then maybe we could call off this marriage we both don’t want” I whispered and moved to leave when he said, “he’d kill me”.

“Kill?!” I exclaimed, unable to hold myself.

He chuckled softly before saying, “I don’t mean kill literally, but I stand to lose all, and it is something he doesn’t even have any control whatsoever over”.

“Oh”

“One day, I’d tell you all…”

“You do know he is your dad though” I pressured longing to hear the exact reason why he couldn’t tell his dad, what he had just said was to throw me off supposedly, but I wasn’t easily swayed.

“Call it fear or whatever… I am scared and don’t to get punished” He said, and I frowned wondering how as grown as he was, he was this scared of his Dad.

“Getting married is one thing, but getting married to a man who would never see me in a romantic light is another, no offense to your preference,” I began.

“You don’t expect me to get married if you are gay, I have my needs Gunner…woman needs” I added, and he blushed bright red… I was just so tempted to pull him closer and squeeze his cheeks, but I stopped myself.

“ Okay, how about we do our possible best to stop this wedding from holding”

“What do you mean?” I asked with my ears perked up in curiosity.

“I'm suggesting we make a pact to stop the wedding in any way possible”

Without hesitation, I yelled, “It’s a Deal, baby boy!”

“Knowing my dad, he would have his eyes on us, hoping that we bond”

“So why exactly are you suggesting?” I asked excitedly, I could already picture how my remaining days were going to be, and I just couldn’t wait.

“Well until then we are going to act as if we fell in love and are now a happy couple…once he’s convinced we are in love then our plan will work well”

“Okay, might as well have fun while we act because honestly speaking I like you, pretty boy, not in that way tho”

He chuckled and let out a sigh of relief before his phone rang, interrupting us.

I smiled to myself as he walked away after apologizing, whilst on call.

The fact that I cleared the air first was the reason he felt relaxed around me and seeing how at ease he was around me and to top that, he had provided a solution to my house arrest.

Unable to hold back myself, I immediately texted Lyra as soon as Gunner was out of sight.

Seeing as she wasn’t online, I decided to explore the huge mansion…if by any chance the pact didn’t work out, then knowing my way around would help me escape.

Not wanting to run into any of the guards, I carefully walked around and found out that it was just my room and other locked doors were on my floor.

The sound of a creaking bed danced in my ears as I got to the last floor, it had an open decking that was what I was curious to see, but as I approached the creaking bed sound was cut short by the moans of a girl.

Being the curious me, I tracked the sound and after convincing myself that I was doing nothing wrong… I decided to peep.

The keyhole wasn’t giving me proper views of what I was curious to see…the only option was to slowly push the door and disappear before getting caught.

As I was about to open to see, I mistakenly knocked on the door wide open, and I gasped in shock upon seeing Lucas having sex with a girl.

The lady was too engrossed with her moans as Lucas thrust mercilessly into her, while Lucas's eyes met mine.

He held my face and for reason, looking aware seemed impossible, so I didn’t.

I had seen him slay in clothes but staring at his toned body as he slowly slammed into his slut, I couldn’t help but drool… He had a gorgeous body.

My eyes the movement downwards and I found myself shivering in desire…this man was going to be the death of me.

Forbidden thoughts filled my mind and I felt myself getting wet…subconsciously, I bit my bottom lip and cupped my aching breast.

How I longed to be the lady beneath my betrothed dad!
