Riona plumped down on her bed with a sigh, she closed her eyes with her hand under her head she planned to just rest and not actually sleep off but she hadn’t known exactly how tired she had become until she had no willpower to fight and keep awake. “Mark me.” Riona had whispered as she ached into the body of her faceless lover. She wanted... needed to know who he was but his face was a blur to her. Riona held on tight to him never wanting to let go and miss the warmth he brought her. “Beautiful.” She heard him murmur as he held her. A gasp escaped her lips followed by a loud moan she couldn’t quiet even if she tried. She felt like nothing could hurt her at that moment and then she looked up more determined to uncover who could bring her so much pleasure and happiness. The smile on her face faded the moment her blue eyes met his green ones, her brows furrowed up in confusion. How was this even possible, she asked herself countless times in her head as she pulled off Lennox's body
The weather had picked up by the time Riona’s classes were over, she wasn’t out after ten minutes and he already suspected she wasn’t inside. He caught sight of May batting her lashes while rolling her hair around her finger and forcing a laugh at whatever Jade spinner said but Riona was not with her. a smile crept up to his face while he drove his fingers into his red hair, combing it off his face. He would have been surprised if she did as he said and came to find him after her class. “Hey man, still up for tonight?” Lennox turned to look at Dane, one of his buddies who patted him on the back as they engaged in a bro hug. He was a little disappointed with Riona for leaving but that just gave him an excuse to show up at her place later on. He remembered following her in the shadows just to find out where she lives. He couldn’t explain his interest in his masked beauty, at first she was just a job for him but there was just something that made him keep coming back
"Did you sleep at all yesterday?" Riona's eyes were red and she had visible bags under her eyes since she couldn't get a wink of sleep after Lennox showed up at her place right after invading her dream. She now saw random images of them together in her head and she had been avoiding him the best she could. "I was just studying and lost track of time." "Wow, Rinrin you should really take it easy once in a while." Riona nodded but she didn't even hear what May had said. They both were heading to get coffee at their favorite shop but Riona was stalling just to avoid running into Lennox sooner. She had three lectures scheduled which she couldn't afford to miss even when she really wanted to. "Riona? Riona," May called out for her before she snapped out of her thoughts. She looked up at May who was a little taller than her, she noticed that she had stopped walking just at the entrance of the store. "Shit, sorry I..." "Don't lie to me Rin, tell me wh
"I am laying you off the cross missions from now on," "What? Come on Mia!" Marcus was more than happy when he reported every detail of their mission to Mia which had her practically smoking with anger. "No, you come on! are you crazy Riona! It's my job to take care of you and everyone else but when you never listen how do you expect me to do that." Mia exploded Riona went quiet, she had never experienced Mia having an outburst since she always seemed to be in control no matter what. "Something pulled me closer, I don't know why but I..." "You are to go home and remain there for the rest of the week," Mia said before turning to walk off. "I can't, I have classes and_" "That is an order," Mia commanded while she turned and faced Riona. There was a glint in Mia's eyes that had Riona moving back. She bit her lips hard to stop herself from voicing her thoughts before nodding to Mia. Fred who was also there offered her an apologetic look but follo
Riona could hear a sharp ringing in her ear as she staired awake, she winced as she could still feel the throbbing pain from the kick that the cross gave her on her face. She cursed at them, promising herself to get that back. She managed to open her eyes but it was no use since she could see nothing, they had blindfolded her and when she tested out her hands, she was restrained there and at her feet too. Why would they capture her if they wanted to kill her? Then she could hear the clicking of heels, the sound getting louder as the person headed for her. She had a sense of Deja Vu, somehow she felt like this had happened before but her memory was too hazy to give her any clue. "Who are you?" She found herself asking. Her voice was hoarse and her mouth dry, how long had she been out? "You want to know me when you don't even know you" A woman spoke just above her. She frowned at the statement, they knew who she was? The feeling of not knowing never
Lennox growled, low and menacing with a hidden promise of destruction while his fist punched holes in the wall. Just a few minutes from going insane. Nix flinched every time his hand connected with the wall, just Imagining an actual person in the wall's place as Lennox probably was. Doesn't that hurt? He is really mad. She gulped hard, what do I do? "Uhm... L-" "Don't say anything Nix, just don't." He gave the wall one last hard punch that rocked it. Yikes! Then he calmed down just a fraction enough to take a seat with his hand holding his head. But he was obviously still tense with his stiff body. Of course, he isn't even hurt by that. Nix watched him vent since he saw them drag Riona's unconscious body into the white room and he was not happy, not happy? Understatement. I just watched him punch a wall for like an hour. That was his mate? You are cruel author and the poor wall is just... Wow. What do I even say to him? "This was not supposed to hap
"Now tell me who you are?" "Nix," she said immediately. Riona just stood still half tempted to clean up the mess in the room, how did she manage to live here? Instead, she waited with her gaze on Nix for her to continue, she didn't. "You say that like I am supposed to know you." "Uhh... I am a god," She said, sounding more like a suggestion. Nix frowned at the blank stare Riona was giving her. Of course, she doesn't believe me, maybe I should have put on my dead serious face. "A god." "Yes, Nix the all-knowing," She spoke proudly. Nothing put a dent in Riona's blank look of disbelief. You could at least laugh instead Of looking at me like that. With a sigh, Nix got up from the bed and did the thing. In a blink of an eye, the room transformed from a messy pig style to a blank white canvas. Riona's expression veered to that of surprise with her mouth slightly open and her eyes looking everywhere, It's plain white there is nothing to look at
"He is here, " Riona's gaze shifted from the messy floor and roamed the room with a brow raised as she searched for whoever Nix was talking about. Being all-knowing really makes life easier. "Who?" She asked. Her eyes were now on Nix but her body was on alert and ready to defend in case of any attacks although she couldn't yet use her powers. What did they inject me with? Nix remained quiet, staring at her window then her lips pulled down into a frown. Riona didn't expect it when something came crashing right through the window, shattering the glass in the process. Nix stood, glaring at the intruder. "There is a door!" Then she heard a voice, deep, calming... Familiar, "I know that." Riona went to her feet, staring at the new scene before her. Her mind trying to form out where she had heard that voice before, and who it belonged to as she tilted her face to the side in an attempt to see who it was since he had his back turned to her when he cam
"Where are we going? You are moving like you know this place." "You don't need to follow me you know." 'Like I have a choice' she muttered under her breath. Walking was a challenge since she sprung her leg but she rather crawl than let herself lose guard around Lennox again. When he offered to carry her, she flat-out denied him and now he was being an ass, taking long strides she couldn't keep up with just to make her ask for his help but he had no idea the extent of her pride. After the incident of the last time, they stuck to lower ground, following a clear path. Lennox didn't know why but his instincts had become somewhat sharper and more accurate, his sense of smell too. He was able to track the hot spring earlier and the fruit, because he caught a whiff, Of it and tracked their smell. Now, although it was faint he could smell salt water forward which meant the ocean sea, he could lead her out of the forest and to the beach of the island then they would figure more
Riona cried out at the sight of the hot bubbling water, almost tripping in her mission to pull off her shoes. Freed of her shoes, she took eager steps forward, standing on one foot and then putting the other down to test the waters. She paused when her hand moved, about to start on the button fly of her pants. Her gaze shifted behind her to find him watching her with a gleam of expectation in his eyes. “You will be leaving right now.” “I said I would help you.” “I don't need help, especially from you, I know how to bathe myself.” “But you’re tired and hurt. Why not let me help? Let me take care of you.” She glared daggers at him. "I hurt my leg not my hand, now fuck off." "Why fight this?" “Either you leave or I will.” “Fine.” He shrugged. “I will leave because I can't have you not bathing and stinking up the place. Call me if you need me.” Stink? How could he even say that? She sniffed around her just to make sure. That bastard. She knew h
Riona groaned with a beaming grin resting on her face. She had the best dream ever although she could never openly admit it, a forbidden dream that felt like she had a taste of heaven in that moment of pure bliss. She opened her eyes and was met with dark Stone walls, a cave? It didn't matter since she felt good well until she felt the cold breeze twinkling her body and causing goosebumps to erupt as she shivered. Oh no! Her gaze moved down and for some reason she was completely naked, the smile she had on dropped into a hard frown. Why am I naked? Her mind panicked when she couldn't formulate any other answer except one and how she wished she was wrong or probably having a nightmare. Unfortunately, she knew that her so-called dream was not a dream, she really threw herself at Lennox and then slept with him. Her hands flew to her mouth, covering her gasp. What was I thinking? Right, I wasn't. "You are finally awake." Out of all the times to arrive, he
Riona opened her eyes, her breath short and her body on fire with pure desire. She brought her hand down to roam her body and she shuddered at the sensation. "You are awake!" The sound of Lennox's dark voice fueled her need and an involuntary moan escaped her. She couldn't start to explain what exactly was happening but her mind was foggy and her body craved release. "Help me..." She whimpered in a barely audible voice. Lennox was by her side in a matter of seconds, worry clouding his expression then confusion. Her eyes were watering and she looked to be in pain as she grasped his hand and pulled it to her body. "Touch me... Please." "What?" He breathed out. Her request was impossible to reject but a part of him knew she wasn't in her right mind and she would hate him even more if he actually did. Riona groaned as her body throbbed and she couldn't stop herself anymore. She pushed Lennox back to the ground and straddled his waist. She planned to
There was no guide on how to take care of a girl while stranded on a dangerous island and even if there was Lennox had definitely not read it. He had been walking for hours with Riona in his arms and his heart swelled with pride that she trusted him enough to fall asleep unguarded, snuggling into him although he knew she was passed out because of stress but that didn't stop him from believing what he wanted to believe. Even though his arms were tired and his legs ached making him very aware of his weakness, but in a weird way he couldn't explain he took joy in this little moment that shouldn't mean anything. Riona's leg had swollen a bit but now it was starting to come down. Lennox scouted for a place to lay for the night as the sun was setting but there was no sign of a house or a simple cave, which was to be expected since being on a dangerous island, no one in their right mind would want to be here. Just as the thought left him, there was a voice. "I remember you."
What are my doing? Lennox was yet to comprehend his actions of helping Riona to escape, and leaving the organization and now he was stuck on a dangerous island while being as weak as a mortal. "You pray I don't make it out of here or I will end you the very chance I get." Riona threatened with gritted teeth. He gulped at the seriousness in her voice. I am a victim too. When Nix offered to save her, he couldn't explain the relief that washed over him, extinguishing his anger enough for him not to want to murder someone. Even now he couldn't stop wanting to protect her as she recklessly climbed up a mountain, taking every step with the potential of falling to her death. Did she forget she was no longer supernatural? His hand shot up as a reflex when Riona lost her footing but she still held on. His heart was at stake with the way it sped up, wanting to escape his chest whenever Riona did anything, even look at him. He might just not make it out without having a
