Wanting to correct her, I opened my mouth to say that we had never met before, but the man holding me spoke first. "We were just looking for our seats. We'll be out of your way in a second." His voice was soft and reassuring. The woman nodded with gratitude.
I attempted to walk away, eager to escape the awkward situation, but the man held me more firmly. He tilted his head and whispered, "Not so fast... You won't escape that easily." Then he looked at the weirdo who would be sitting next to me during the flight. "Move," he said.
The weirdo protested, "What? I won't change. This is my place." The man holding me growled low.
"Here, take mine," he said, handing the note to the weirdo. "it is first class." He watched the man look at the ticket with raised eyebrows. "Now move," he said slowly, almost threateningly, as if daring the man to question him. The weirdo glanced at us once more before standing up, quickly grabbing his bag, and rushing past us without making eye contact. I watched, astonished. What the hell just happened? This had turned into a strange day.
"Carry on, beautiful," said my mysterious new neighbor, gently pushing me into the window seat as he followed close behind. I sat down and waited while he took the seat next to mine. I wasn't sure what to say, still a little bewildered and embarrassed by what had just happened.
"Hmm, sorry about before," I murmured, putting a lock of hair back from my ear and looking down. "I do not usually walk around playing strangers like that, I promise." I laughed nervously. When he didn't respond, I cleared my throat. "Right... then why did you give up your first-class ticket to sit back here?"
Suddenly, a hand cupped my chin and turned my head. My eyes met his, and his hand moved to hold my cheek. "Because I wanted to be by your side," he said in a hoarse voice. He caressed my face and examined every inch of it. "Wow, do I have so much luck?"
I pulled away from him, unsure of how to respond. "Uh, you heard that?"
"Sorry, what did you say?" he just smiled and shook his head. "do not worry about it, beautiful." He leaned over the armrest toward me, and we were close for two strangers. "I am Vidário. What is your name?"
Almost as if I was stunned, I managed to say, "Rary."
His smile widened. "Rary," he repeated for himself. "My Rary."
Your eyes were so beautiful. I couldn't help but fixate on them.
"Uh-huh..." he said absently, releasing a delicious laugh. Did I miss something funny?
"Our bond is strong; I can see." Is it just me, or does nothing he says make sense?
"Uh, what? Our link?" I asked.
He pushed a loose strand of hair away from my face. "do not worry your little head about that."
Once again, I snapped out of the daze he seemed to keep putting me in when a baby behind us screamed loudly. Realizing how close I was to the man — Vidário — I jumped back.
He had managed to feel my breathing on his face. Another nervous laugh escaped me, and I placed my hands in my lap, trying to seem less embarrassed than I felt. "That guy probably thinks I am crazy."
"Then, business or pleasure?" Vidário asked.
"To Chapter, what?" I looked at Vidário again.
"you are going to Paris for business or pleasure?"
"Oh, right. I almost completely forgot where I was." I started becoming anxious again when I remembered that the plane would probably take off any minute. "Oh, neither one nor the other, I think. I am going to visit my mother and her husband."
Vidário asked, "And are you not happy to see your mother and her husband?" I shook my head. "No. Not since she abandoned me and my sick father to run away to Paris and marry her rich lover," I heard myself say. I made a mental note to not share such personal information again. I looked at him. His expression was thoughtful. "I feel very... No, never mind." I didn't believe I just shared my entire life story with a stranger seated next to me on the plane.
Vidário looked deep into my eyes, as if searching for something, and then he grabbed the armrest between us, raising it so it was no longer a barrier. "What... What are you doing?"
"Shh," he said. Vidário grabbed my hips, which were already turned towards him, and pulled me so that my knees touched his. Sparks spread for the umpteenth time as his hand found its way under my shirt and onto the surface of my back, where his thumb began to make soothing circles. I let out a sigh. His other hand came up to caress my face.
"You do not need to worry about anything now," Vidário whispered. "I will take care of you." He bent so that his lips touched my ear. "You are mine."
I leaned back to see his eyes. "What do you mean by that?" He smiled. "I mean..." His thumb rang my bottom lip, and I gasped. "All that there is with you is mine." He kissed my eyelids, the top of my nose, and finally, his lips found mine.
My eyes closed with his kiss. The feeling was euphoric, similar to fireworks and explosions. My hands moved to his huge, muscular shoulders, and I squeezed them. I moaned gently. I felt him smile against my lips, and I stopped for a second. No, do not smile. Smiling meant he could stop kissing me, and I didn't want that to happen in any way.
Never taking my lips from his, I knelt down and pressed my chest to his, enjoying the sparks that came from where our bodies met. My hands went up to his hair and pulled his face closer to mine. He moaned in approval. Suddenly, he pressed my hips with firmness, putting me on his lap so that my knees were on either side of his. I pushed my chest against his, and he deepened our kiss, diving his tongue into my mouth. His hands massaged my hips and then slid up under my shirt to hold my waist, his thumbs touching the underwire of my bra. "Oh my God, is it getting warm in here?" Someone cleared their throat next to us, and it was like I flipped a switch in my brain: I suddenly realized what we were doing. I moved to get off Vidário's lap, and thankfully, he let me go this time. I sat in my seat and quickly fastened my seat belt. The flight attendant saw that Vidário was also wearing his seat belt, nodded, and walked away. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. I placed my hands over my face t
My breathing calmed down a little. He was so unbelievably beautiful. How could someone be so beautiful? Fantastic, charming, sweet, and comforting, and his kisses were incredible. The plane suddenly shook again—this time most of the passengers gasped. The pilot's voice came from the speakers at the top of the cabin, apologizing for the turbulence and mentioning that the weather seemed more serious than originally expected. I looked out my window and saw that it was raining, and the sky was full of lightning. "Oh my God, it is like this, what I am going to die," I said. My whole body trembled. The plane shook again at the same time as a loud, thunderous bang came from outside. I let out a scared shout when tears started to gush in my eyes. "Rary, darling, come here," Vidário said in an agitated tone. I looked at him and saw that he was offering his arm, encouraging me to lean on him. "What?!" I asked with a shaky voice. "N-no!" Something squeezed my hand tighter. I looked down to
I didn't understand what he wanted to say. Then I leaned closer to him, breathing in his heavenly scent. "That's right," he said. "I am here, and you are safe. Nothing bad will happen to you. Let's create the most incredible life together. I will never let you go again." "What did he just say?" I wondered. But for now, he continued, "You need rest." I looked at him. His eyes were still black. "Sleep." And my world went dark. --- Rary I woke up with a sense of movement. I was vaguely aware that someone was unfastening my seatbelt, and then I was lifted up. I opened my eyes. Vidário placed me on his lap, so my knees fell on each side of him. He touched my head to his chest and wrapped his arms around me again. Suddenly, I remembered I was on a plane, and my heart raced once again. How long had I been sleeping? I tried to lean back to look at Vidário, but he only tightened his grip on me. "Nuh-uh. Not so fast. you are not going anywhere," he said quietly. He kissed my forehead.
I nodded, not wanting to go against his orders when he looked so dangerous. I watched him get up and make his way to the front of the plane and beyond, through the small door that led to first class. I reclined in my seat, thinking he probably just needed to go to the bathroom. But then I heard people yelling, and the steward ran down the aisle. "You passengers, stay in your seats." I jumped up and ran to the first-class section, wanting to see what all the commotion was about. When I entered, the scene in front of me made my heart stop. Vidário was holding Mr. Bizarro in the air by the neck. Was he trying to kill him? People around them were trying to get Vidário's attention, pulling at him to stop strangling the man. But Vidário wasn't moving. He was like a statue. He was trying to kill him. --- Rary Vidário's hand on Mr. Bizarro's neck was getting tighter with each passing second. Of all those begging him to stop, one man was the most persistent, shouting, "Alpha! Alpha!
I took my lips away from his, hoping he would stop and put me down, but he just growled and started kissing my neck, still walking... God knows where. "Vidário, what are you doing? Put me on the floor!" — I exclaimed, pushing his shoulders. "Man, is this guy made of steel or something? He didn't even stop." "Wait. My — " he said, and continued his open-mouth kisses all over my chin. I looked over my shoulder at the "helpful" man from before. He was standing next to the door leading to first class, watching us as the people around if crowded to see the idiot who almost died. "Help!" — I screamed at him. He just shrugged and gave me a look that said: What do you want me to do? I wanted to shout. What the hell was going on? I mentally prepared myself for a long and uncomfortable flight. It was far beyond that... Vidário carried me to the plane's bathroom and quickly placed me in the small sink. He positioned himself between my legs and grabbed my hips. "Vidário, what...?" His l
He laughed again. "We can kiss as much as you want when you wake up." The thought made me happy, and I sighed. "Okay, then." He wrapped his arms around me and rubbed his nose right where he had finished biting. I shuddered. "Huh. That was good." "Go to sleep, Rary. I'll protect you." And for the third time during the flight, I passed out in Vidário's arms. Rary When I woke up again, it was completely dark. The only light I could see came from what I assumed was a window behind me, the moonlight illuminating the entire room. Where am I? For a moment, I thought I was back home, in my room, and, releasing a sigh, I stirred, cuddling into the pillow. But then I stopped. Wherever I was lying down, it wasn't a pillow. It was hard and warm, moving up and down. I lifted my head to get a better look. A very muscular sleeping man. I looked at his face. Oh my God. It was Vidário. All that had happened during the last day came to me suddenly: the plane, his eyes, him strangling some
I had no idea what he was talking about. Transform? To mark? He was now looking at me with a lazy and irritated expression, as if I was bothering him. I was bothering him? He had kidnapped me! I was scared to death, and he was just lying down, enjoying his beauty sleep!? Forget talking to him later! Forget talking to him again! I turned back to the door, ready to go out in a rush, but his voice stopped me once more. "Rary, if you leave this room, you are going to start feeling dizzy and sick. You can't stay away from me right after the appointment. I bet that bite on your neck is starting to hurt, isn't it?" I hadn't noticed it before, but now that he mentioned it, the wound was pulsing—almost as if it had its own heartbeat. I touched the mark on my neck and groaned as it began to throb, a searing pain. Vidário sat, watching my indecision as I continued to look between him and the door. I instinctively took a step towards him, and immediately felt the pain decrease a bit. Stran
Through my sobs, I could hear quick footsteps entering the living room. Rary! Vidário shouted. Just his voice made the fire die down a little, and I called out to him, desperate for the pain to go away. He ran for the kitchen and pushed the other man away from me. I felt a twinge of disappointment when I noticed that Vidário was wearing sweatpants instead of boxers—I wanted as much skin-to-skin contact as possible. Fortunately, he was still without a shirt. As soon as he reached me, he immediately took me into his arms. I wrapped myself around him as lazily as a vine on a tree, seeking maximum contact. My legs were on each side of him, my arms tightly around his neck. Fortunately, the fire subsided as I sobbed into his chest, but the pain was still unbearable. "Shh...," Vidário said, sitting down on a nearby chair with me still coiled around him. "I know, baby, I know." "Please, make it stop," I begged. Vidário suddenly placed his mouth on the bite mark and sucked it, running his
