บททั้งหมดของ Rise of the Phoenix: บทที่ 31 - บทที่ 40

A couple more hours Sarah and Luke spent in her room just cuddling to each other and enjoying the time together, knowing that tomorrow something might happen again and they might not get the chance to be alone like this. Although, their cuddles have stayed as chaste as they could, as both of them silently agreeing on hating the idea of surrendering to their primal urges while Sarah’s parents were just down the stairs working tirelessly on figuring out a way to honor her wish not to spill any more blood while putting an end to this madness.They only snapped from their little bubble once a truck horn was heard from the outside. Guess Adaline wasn’t kidding when she said that new furniture would be delivered later that day. Luke offered to help to arrange things, so his physical strength was put to good use as he moved the massive couches and sofas all by himself until they were positioned to Adaline’s likings.That woman really changed her mind a lo

Sun was already getting low in the sky when Luke let Sarah catch her breath. Ever since the moment they arrived at his beach house, his lair, he hasn’t let her stop and rest, not even for a second. He couldn’t get enough of her and the things she woke in him, with every kiss she gifted him, with every touch of her fingertips that left a trail of fire behind them… all he knew is that she felt the same, he was sure of it. Her reactions, her moans, and whimpers whenever he would touch or kiss one of her sweet spots, and he quickly learned all of them by heart, told him everything he needed to know… they told him just how much she was lost in him and the pleasure he was giving her.It was crazy, it was maddening, it was everything and more from what he ever imagined it will be. It was worth the wait. It was worth the pain. It was worth it…Sarah was lying on her back, her eyes closed as she was breathing deeply, tryin

Somersaults that Luke made high up in the air cause a similar reaction in Sarah’s stomach. Her insides were clenching with every new sudden turn Luke would make, and she was clinging to him with all her might. Her hands were tightly wrapped around Luke’s neck while he was holding her securely in his arms, bridal style.Sarah wasn’t scared he would drop her, no. She trusted him more than she trusted herself. But the adrenalin that was coursing through her veins, the excitement she felt, was almost too much to handle.Luke flew up higher and higher above the purple and orange clouds and even higher until the air around them became too thin to breathe properly. Only then Luke headed towards the ground. The only thing Sarah could hear and feel around herself as they were ascending towards the outer space, except for the closeness of his body, were powerful swings of Luke’s wings and swooshing of the air caused by them.She was giggling and laughing

Upon hearing the woman’s words, Luke stopped with the torture; he retracted the flames to both present women’s relief, and he didn’t miss his girl’s discreet sigh.Nonchalantly, in a couple of lazy steps, he went back to stand by Sarah’s side.“Go ahead.” Hopefully, she didn’t change her mind when the pain stopped.After one deep frown that suggested nothing but disgust and resentment, towards herself probably, the woman spoke:“Two days ago, I’ve got a call from a friend of a friend. He said it’s an easy pull, in and out. Got the money transferred in advance and got the instructions.” She said with a short pause, thinking about if she should disclose all the details or not.“But that’s not all, is it?” Luke nudged her a bit.“No.” the woman swallowed hard. “I asked the said a friend about the ordering party. Wha

Followed by a bright blast of light, Sarah and Luke appeared in the living room of Johnson’s mansion, this time without excess water that would destroy their home.After the phone call they received earlier, they took enough time to put on some decent clothes before Luke took Sarah into his embrace and transported them to her parents’ home.He also noticed that their traveling was becoming easier and swifter; it was as natural as breathing. There was no more pressure he felt initially, like he was carrying a burden on his shoulders, no. Now it was like he was traveling through time and space alone, but at the same time… not… since he was aware of Sarah’s presence by his side all along. In the end, Sarah was his other half, missing part of his soul…“This is a surprise!” Adaline exclaimed. She was in the garden when she saw now-familiar light coming from the inside, so she rushed back insid
