บททั้งหมดของ Rise of The Fallen: บทที่ 11 - บทที่ 20

I felt a shudder of anticipation shoot down my spine, causing my fine hairs to raise up. The thick braided cord flowing through his fingers with ease. My response was primal, my mouth growing dry and my body flushing with warmth. I grinned widely, knowing I was about to get fucked sideways in the best way.    "On your back" Jason said, striding toward me, slapping the rope against the palm of his hand. I jutted my chin out in defiance, refusing to obey his command and staying right where I was on my hands and knees.     "I said on your back!" His voice grew slightly louder, I cocked a half smile at him.    "Make me" I stated simply. He grinned, his eyes sparkling with glee. He was definitely enjoying this. He climbed on the bed behind me, one arm sn

Liam wasn't stupid, he knew something set me off. Not that I was trying to hide it. The call wrapped and we spoke with Commander Ryan for a few minutes. Cassi would be joining our team, but first she needed to undergo training and testing, she was clearly elite material though he said. This Kenneth guy though, something bugged me. His manner was way too docile for a fighter, even if he was long-range. Devon had spunk for days and Jason, well he definitely had that ‘something’. This guy? I couldn't sense it unless he was just that talented at hiding it. If that was the case, I would find out soon enough, I always got a better read on people once I met them. "Ver, what’s up?" Liam asked after we left. Devon and Todd easily falling into step with us. 

“Ver, check your face!” Liam hissed into my ear. I couldn’t help it, my face said whatever I was thinking, and right now I was not pleased. This guy still gave me weird vibes, and I did not like him. Tall and lanky, he walked with an air of quiet confidence that made me want to break him. And break him I would. His long hair was down, dreadlocks peppered in it that had small silver beads woven in, he had a small hoop through his left nostril and his eyes were those of a predator. I grinned to myself; he had another thing coming if he even dared to confuse one of us with prey. Kenneth had just arrived; he had waited the week he said he would to come  train; and now the week was up and here he was. He had said maybe a handful of words to us since his arrival, not that he was being rude; but obviously the guy wasn’t exactly into conversation. At least not yet or with us.

He wheezed, easing up on the pressure, I repeated my question. His eyes gleamed and I quickly looked down.“Don’t try that shit with me” I grumbled, pressing my knee into his arm harder than necessary. He winced.“Fine Verity, a deal is a deal” his smile was once again charming. I made a face.“Would you cut that shit out with me? I don’t like it, whatever it is” I said, leaning close to his face. “So why don’t you just tell me this secret of yours, since it must be why the Officials sent you.” My voice was low, smooth, and had every ounce of malice in it I could muster.He sighed, “it would be easier to show you.” I raised an eyebrow as I slowly let him up, wondering what it could possibly be.

We drove till dawn, Todd and Liam taking turns while the rest of us shifted as lookouts. My shift had finished, and I was curled up by Kenneth, snoozing comfortably under his wing. The downy feathers were so soft and the perfect spot for snuggling up, he didn’t mind either, it allowed him to have his wings out and not cramped. This drive would take over a day, and to make the quickest time possible we couldn’t stop driving. Gas cans were in the backseat, full to the brim to make sure we could get there and back and then some. Devon had made sure we had extra and had checked all the cans to ensure they were full; we didn’t trust this mission or the Officials that sent us on it. While some teams did, on the rare occasion, travel this far from base it was typically only to reach another base. Not to engage the enemy, because there was no way of returning, no matter how fast we drove, eventually they would catch us with the distance we w
