Still nothing came and she didn't really want to pull it out, this last trump card, but it was the only one he had left her. "Honesty ...?" She uttered even more quietly and noticed even with surprise that it sounded almost pleading.
Again his eyes sought hers. The risen sun shone sideways in his face and illuminates his right iris in all the colors that were inherent in it. Now the blue shone more than the gray and the fireflies looked more like bits of fiery coal. His long, dark eyelashes cast a shadow over the not too short but narrow nose.
"I met her when I was 15, it was the year 1737 ..." Pareios closed his eyes, as if trying to visualize old memories. “My powers had just started to show. At the time we were living in a legion base near Königsberg. Back then the world was still different, we weren't as many as today and the Hegeduns ruled more openly and cruelly. They gave themselves princely names to justify their rule and subjugated the people as wel
God, how good he felt on her, as if she had thirsted her whole life just for this moment, for his presence. And she wanted him, she needed him so badly that she was afraid she would burst. Then he pushed his hips between her legs and she felt his erection pressed against her thigh. In no time he had quickly slipped a bra strap over her shoulder and the dark nipple now gleamed exposed in the morning sun before his lips closed around it. She let her eyelids fall and let himself be charmed by his mouth. Her thoughts broke away from her and fled into wonderful daydreams. That deep feeling of affection condensed into the certainty that she felt more than that for him, she wanted him all, all to herself. At that moment Pareios tried to slowly slide the slip down when a memory ran through her like a corrosive stream of acid.It flooded her mind and heart as Aurelia watched helplessly as she felt an incredible disgust. Almost like a panic attack, she seized her throat and squeezed, t
She had finally realized what the problem might be and was now ready to take on Pareios as she had glimpsed a possibly possible, wonderful future. She did not intend to do without it. The only question was whether Pareios was still on the train or had jumped off again.At the moment she wasn't particularly keen to find out. Talking to him would have meant explaining, spreading her whole shitty past like a carpet in front of him. Except that it wasn't an elegant, velvety red runner, but rather a black and gray, dirt-encrusted doormat. The thought of how he would react made her feel cold and shudder.Somebody cleared their throat behind her.Almost scared to death, Aurelia winced and spun around. Her heart skipped a beat and she involuntarily held her breath. Her eyes searched the kitchen in frantic movements, sliding over empty furniture and into dark corners, but there was not a soul in the room except her. The hairs on her forearm straightened as
She watched her host take on the role of caring father as he made a porridge and then sat back in the chair to feed Elijah. However, he had something else in mind and dared to grab the spoon, causing the mash to splash across the room. He squealed happily.Ezekiel sighed audibly. "Could you briefly?" He held his little son in front of her nose, who meanwhile excitedly slapped his little plump fingers against each other and laughed. He was already sitting on her lap and Ezekiel devoted himself to cleaning up the mess.Aurelia didn't know what to do with her hands. The feeling of that light weight on her thighs and the smell of the toddler were delightful. Something in her stirred. Her heart seemed to literally blossom with an affection that was nothing romantic about it. It was something possessive, something powerful. A need she hadn't even seriously assumed she had. She wanted to hug this child and protect it, cradle it safely in her arms.Was that just a mater
In the salon of the seaside manor house, eight scowling Elevenders sat around a long oval table made of cherry wood with dark inlays and burned-in ornaments. It had been in the owner's family for centuries and had seen meetings like this one. Meetings in which dark and threatening secrets were revealed and strategies of attack developed. But today's session, although so similar to the previous ones, was a different story. The conditions had changed. All team members, as well as Ezekiel, his wife Velvet and their eldest son Evrill, were more than aware of this."Well, Viktor, I have to be honest, I didn't expect what kind of luggage you had with you when I asked you into my house." Ezekiel said with his calm, deep baritone after giving him a brief update had given. He showed no trace of annoyance, only he furrowed his eyebrows seriously and worriedly as he reached over the table for the hand of his slim, petite wife. It was one of the little gestures, the tiny de
“An old friend of Julien's works as a driver for the Hegedunen. He apparently mentioned one evening that he had his hands full at the moment with this series of experiments. Julien arranged a meeting, the guy just wants to speak to us personally. He works with his task force in Paris. The day after tomorrow at 11 p.m. he will be waiting for us in a bar. ”Evrill had a satisfied, relaxed smile on his face that showed a row of flawless, pearly white teeth.At last a lifeline in this utter chaos, Aurelia thought as he spoke. In fact, they were in a position where they were almost incapable of acting unless they went all out. It dawned on her that now they had to put everything on one card. And whether they wanted to or not, they couldn't avoid playing a double game. The only way to get the council information was to go back to the lion's den!Viktor raised his voice. "All right! This is the only other lead we have while we are left without the Legion's he
In the end, there was no objection and no one had a better plan. They all felt lost in the chaos of events and were ready to grab any straw that promised even a glimmer of hope. Ezekiel promised to provide them with equipment and to activate further contacts in order to keep asking for the meaning of the stones or anything else useful. After he had promised them several vehicles, his son got up."So if there are only two of you, when you meet Julien's acquaintance, I will join you!" He said firmly, gazing at his parents.His mother clapped her hands over her mouth while mute horror widened her beautiful eyes. However, this immediately gave way to the assertiveness of the lion-like maternal instinct. She had even managed to get her husband, a respected councilor, out of all those wars within the Elevender Terrace, so she was definitely not going to give up on her son."You don't!" She said in a decisive tone that Aurelia hadn't thought of this small, feminine wom
Evrill led them into his study, which was bursting with modern technology, and offered them a seat on the wide leather couch."Can you get us some portable IT equipment?" Asked Aurelia as she walked through the room with the business-like carpeting.Evrill leaned casually against the massive dark desk and smiled confidently. “That shouldn't be a problem!” He propped one arm on the table, with the other he pointed to the back corner, where a lot of equipment was already stored, neatly stowed in suitable transport bags. “By the way, I've already researched the address that Julien gave from the café. It wasn't hard to find, it's a pretty famous dance bar. ”He grinned very satisfied now and she saw through the laboriously calm surface of his demeanor, under which the awakened ardor and pride about his skills peeked out.Pareios seemed delighted. "Wonderful! Who would have thought what you are made of, Ev! ""It's okay, my mother
Do you think the Legion has something to do with it?" Row threw around.Viktor shrugged his shoulders rather helplessly. "If it had been us ... why and for what?"The feeling that there was more to this message than could be seen at first glance, Aurelia just couldn't let go. "Whoever it was must have been technologically well-equipped, things like that are state-of-the-art, you can't just get them down like that!" And he had to have been quick! "Just put it in our collection of mysterious incidents, maybe we'll find more answers in the next few days." She grumbled unsatisfied and then sat down at the table at which Velvet was preparing dinner.She interrupted the thoughtful conversation of her guests by asking everyone to sit down at the table."So sit down, stop all this bad news, now it's time to eat.""Yes, M'am!" Evrill saluted like an officer, which brought him a few more laughs and drove away the discomfort that was in the room.
