Chapter 2: Fire on Fire

Chapter 2: Fire on Fire

 

My home was eerily silent, and I was overcome with loneliness. I found myself again alone. Every time he goes, it seems as though he took all the happiness with him, leaving me to live in sorrow. The atmosphere turns drab and uninteresting.

 

I stayed only for a few weeks that night at the nightfall where I grew up. No one knows that there is a home here, but somehow someone knows me at the center of the town. They just don't know where I live. I also started serving my father without making everyone aware of our connection. I also rarely go to the castle.

 

I stared at the sunset. I was sitting on the white sand here on the beach, just near my house. I can feel the ocean breeze puffing against my skin. The salty air leaves a stinky and sticky feeling on my skin as I remain, watching how the sun slowly bids its temporary goodbye. I let my white and long hair air, while the shirt of my black long dress allowed me to reach the water.

 

I can smell it. As I closed my eyes, sadness engulfed me. The temperature is altered by the wind. I could feel the water getting colder on my fingertips.

 

Lunar Eclipse. It's coming again. And I am sure she's coming back.

 

The moment the sky grew darker, I opened my eyes. As the moon gradually emerged, howling could be heard in the dense woodland. The sky became alive as the stars shone. In contrast to what I am currently feeling.

 

"What are you doing?" I heard a voice behind me, but I didn't bother to look. I just stood up and remained behind her before slowly undressing the long dress I was wearing and relentlessly letting it fall from my shoulder, revealing my two-piece lace.

 

I could feel his piercing stares behind my back, but I still didn't bother to glance at him. I slowly walked closer to the water and let the water cover my body until I felt the urge to dip. I quickly dove underwater for a few minutes before raising half of my body while glued. I brushed up my hair using my fingers as I looked in Azriel's direction, and I found him standing, staring intently at me with his arms folded against his hard chest. He was wearing a plain black muscle shirt paired with his black ripped pants; he just laughed.

 

Even when he was far away, I didn't escape how his eyes were darker while not taking his gaze away. I fight how he stares at me as I let water drip down from my head to my neck. I could taste the salty ocean water on my parted lips as I watched him clench his jaw and lick his lips. I nibbled my lower lip because of that.

 

"C'mon, Azriel! I know you want to take a dip too." I was still trying to tease him, and I saw him roll his eyes at me. I regret it and dive again. It looks like he was in a bad mood, and it didn't work. Maybe it just left. I also didn't want to talk to him because I knew what he was going to say the same thing he is always telling me.

 

Like my first swim, I went up again, but I almost tripped when Azriel's face was only an inch away from mine. Fortunately, I was so close to his shoulder, and I held on to it, and his warm hand grabbed my waist to support me. The feeling of his warm hand placed on my bare skin caused electricity to rush through my spine. The sensation is tingling, and I can feel how it ignites my body.

 

"Y-you!" I cannot find the next word to say. I was shocked that my heart was beating so fast. The water covered half of his body, but I'm sure he's just a bottom of the bottom. He's topless, and I can see how fine his bare chest is. I even came down below his chest, and I saw how hot his abs were, and I am so tempted to touch them. When I was about to do so, he immediately caught my hand.

 

"Not my body, Lilianna." I groaned in disbelief.

 

 

"I just want to touch them; let me." I couldn't help but notice his body. I want to touch it.

 

"No, behave yourself." he said, grining, and grabbed me by the shoulder to keep me away from him.

 

"Hey! I just want to touch it. I haven't held a man's body yet. I grew up here alone, and you're all with me. You're the only one here that I could touch!" I hissed. He violently turned to me and raised my eyebrows.

 

"So are you saying that if you have someone else with you, you would touch him too?!" I was shocked at the tone of his voice. The giggling vanished as it kept me quiet for a moment. Of course I won't! He misunderstood what I said. I wanted to explain to him, but he just shook his head and turned away. He swam away from me.

 

I watched him swim and rise from the water as he brushed his fingers against his wet hair. I don't know what got into me. I moved from where I am and quickly approached behind him. He's taller than me, so I looked up at him. His back was facing me when I unconsciously wrapped my arms around his bare body, pressing my body against his, and rested my face on his warm back. I closed my eyes, and I just felt relaxed. I will never regret doing this. It was my favorite thing to do with him. To hug him. I feel like the wall I built every time he was close to me was suddenly crumbled and only formed it again without him. It was like a defense mechanism, and I just let my guard down when I was with him.

 

I can sense how his body went still. His breathing became rough as I heard a deep breath coming from his chest. The vibration of it was a bit calming for me.

 

"Lilianna ..."

 

"Let's stay like this for a while, Azriel. Please, I want us to stay like this. I don't know what will happen next. But I'm sure I'm going to have a hard time catching him this close again.

 

I thought he was going to allow me, but it almost broke inside my chest as he slowly removed my arms around his body. He faced me, and my eyes met his iris-hawk eyes. I can feel how my pleading eyes turned it emotionless as I stepped backward. I feel bad. I lost my guts, so I turned away from him and went up. I hurriedly picked up my dress, and for a moment I got to my room. I don't care where he is if he follows. Or just leave. I know as much as we argue, and it will only hurt. But that doesn't mean I'm going to stop claiming him.

 

I rinsed myself before I dressed up in a black sleeveless knee-length dress. Then I just pushed the hair out and peeked out the window, only to see the lunar eclipse happening. I can feel how my eyes flickered as a series of howls could be heard from different directions.

 

"Rouges are roaming around," he said, so he followed me here.

 

"Want me to hunt them down?" I am disgusted with them knowing what they did. They are the reason I grew up alone. They started a war a very long time ago.

 

"Nah, stay here." I nodded and looked at him. He was already wearing his muscle shirt and pants again, but his hair was still wet. I sighed and walked toward my closet to get him a towel. When I got it, I turned to him again and reached for it.

 

"Dry your hair. Did you rinse?" He nodded.

 

"Yeah, downstairs." I nodded again and turned my gaze back to the moon. He turned to me as he dried his hair. I sighed and faced him. I took the towel from his hands and tiptoed to reach him slightly. I know he's surprised, but he let me do it. I bought myself to dry his hair; my whole attention was just there, and I didn't even noticed his two hands suddenly placed on my waist, while I was stooping a little to reach his hair, and in the middle of doing it I suddenly stoped as my eyes landed to his. 

 

There is a surge of heat that is eating me as desires and temptation are killing me. I lick my lower lip when my eyes go to his moist, parted, delectable lips. I can't help but wonder how it feels and tastes against my lips. I was holding the towel tightly until I scooted closer to him and mashed my lips against his warm and soft lips as I shut my eyes firmly. I felt his jolt of surprise as his grip on my waist tightened. Although he didn't move his lips, I did.

 

 

 

I sucked his lips, nibbled them, and licked his lower lip to intensify the sensation and seduce him to kiss me back. My lips moved fast, and I was aggressive when I heard her moaning as if he were having a hard time controlling himself. I pushed him hard on my bed, using my ability. I used my body to pin him down. I was on top of him and the kisses him roughly. I am even moaning against his lips as my kisses go down on his jaw and on his neck. My fangs scraped on his skin as pleasure sunk into me. It seemed like I was losing my sense, especially when he grabbed my waist again and quickly changed our place.

 

His glowing golden yellow eyes screamed lust and desire as his lips captured mine. This time he's now taking the lead as his tongue entered my mouth, like a thirsty and greedy wolf. Our lusty groans echoed around my room as I could hear the sounds of our clothes being torn apart. My legs immediately wrapped around his waist as I pulled him closer to me, and my nails clawed his bare back as his tongue traced over my jaw, giving me fiery wet kisses as one of his hands grasped my neck as if choking me. His other hand felt like I was holding my beard down to my thigh, stroking it in a sensual way. I feel so hot and turned on. I can feel him aroused too. As we shared the same heat.

 

"A-Azriel..." I moaned his name when his kisses went down on the valley of my shoulder. He's kissing it like he owns it as his hand traveled from my neck down on my chest, causing my back to arched. Damn! This feels so good.

 

 

 

"I want you, Azriel." I cried as I started to grind for him. His kisses returned to my lips as I responded immediately until he seemed realized something and moved away.

 

I saw him frustratedly brush his hair using his finger and curse. I was just shocked to lie down and hang on to what had happened. A cold breeze enveloped my almost naked body as I watched Azriel look at me and curse himself.

 

"I'm sorry... this shouldn't have happened." After that, he immediately disappeared from my sight.

 

He stopped because he realized who I was. Well, I seduced him. I provoked him. It's my fault. But why does it feel like something's breaking inside me? Is this pain?
