"Slow down." She muttered but her words reached no one as the wind gushed past them or perhaps they were flying through the wind like a blade that sliced the air; if that even makes sense.

Every time he speeds the bike, she would feel the entire bike vibrating with guttural sounds making her spine curl with fear as she would hold him all more strongly.

She was sure that she's going to bruise his torso with her deadly hold. When he continued to drive like a maniac passing through the cars and overtaking them effortlessly with such speed and fineness that she felt her heart in her mouth.

She hid her face between his shoulder blades as her one hand pinched harshly at his stone like stomach and he grunted but didn't slow down.

Her dress was flying like crazy and she has to stick to his back to keep her dress and modesty at bay. Her long blond locks were going wild.

Eleanor let out a horrified shriek when he did one wheeling. Her nails dug in his flesh like vicious lionesses as she clung to him for her dear life.

It was after what felt like years. The bike came to a sudden halt on a deserted road. But she was still clinging to him, her face buried between his shoulder blades as her whole body trembled. Her knuckles were turned white with the deadly hold she was having on him.

"Get off." He said but she was still feeling herself to be in the air.

When his gauntlet covered hand grabbed her cold trembling hand; she realised that they'd stopped and she wasted no second to hop off that evil thing as she stumbled back on an empty road to balance herself.

She felt buzzy and woozy as she straightened her dress and hair as much as she can manage. Her body was still trembling from the death ride she just had.

He ever so hotly swung his leg and got off the bike. Removing his helmet, he placed it on the bike and when he faced her; she felt her voice dying in her throat.

He's so breathtakingly handsome!

It's strange, this is the first time she saw his face fully. Sharp jaw with dusted trimmed bear giving him a rugged look, straight nose, high cheekbones, thick brows, silver gray icy eyes and thick black curled lashes that'll put girls to shame and lastly his exquisite looking black hair tossed roughly on his head.

Her eyes tailed down to his strong looking neck and she gulped looking at his beautiful Adam's apple.

He's unholy!

After checking him out for a while, she observed him and his face was having an angry expression as he was glaring at her.

Ah oh!

Did she do something wrong? Is he angry that she was checking him out. He took a deadly step towards her and she took two steps back. If she thought he's handsome before then she judged too quickly because he looks extremely scary right now.

Her eyes looked around the area and she gulped finding it painfully empty. There was no living soul anywhere near. A streetlight was the only source of light and she felt scared all of a sudden. Why he would stop at such a scary place.

"Come here." He said coldly, making her flinch at his words. Has she done something wrong? She even cheered for him during the race!

Eleanor shook her head in negative like a scared child. "You think I cannot come to you?" He asked plainly, making her gulp. And with three large steps he was in front of her.

She shrieked out trying to run but he was fast as he caught her wrist and pulled her closer making her flinch.

"I didn't do anything!" She shrieked trying to get her wrist free from his large calloused hand. That was like a steel cuff on her wrist.

"Oh really?" He said with narrowed eyes, his voice deep and deadly making her gulp, he tugged her abruptly closer making her free hand to land on his chest.

She stiffened when he moved closer and his hand went at the top of her jacket's pocket and he took out her phone moving back from her but still gripping her wrist.

Eleanor's eyes were shut close as she breathed and felt nothing. So, she slowly opened her eyes to find his hovering large frame peering at her phone's screen.

Her hand that was on his solid chest abruptly moved back as if caught on fire but he still didn't let go of her wrist.

"W-What are you doing?" She hesitated as she tried to snatch her phone from him but he just pulled it higher.

"Scary Burglar Huh!" He snickered, making her stomach to churn in fright. Is he going to hurt her for changing his name?

"I didn't scare you; did I?" His deep voice said as he tugged her closer making her gasp and she abruptly moved back. Is he trying to scare her now?

“Let go. You are m-misbehaving.” She said in a low voice tugging at her wrist. His woody, sweaty scent was making her feel weird things and not to mention his closeness.

"Why did you cut my call last night?" He asked with utter seriousness in his voice making her frown. His silver gray eyes narrowed in on her, making her nervous as she immediately looked away.

"Y-you weren't s-suppose to call me in the first place." She retorted while twisting her wrist in his hold to get free.

He showed her the screen of her phone where there was a notification of 27 missed calls from him last night. She gulped realising that his anger is because she didn't pick up his calls. 

Why should she pick up his call in the first place.

"Any explanation?" He asked letting go of her wrist and she immediately took a step back. Rubbing her wrist though his hold was light, yet she wanted to portray him that he hurt her delicate wrist.

"No." She says curtly looking at the bike not meeting his cold gaze.

"Why?" He asked plainly, making her frown. "I don't find it appropriate to talk to random guys on the phone!" She blurted with a huff.

Leon arched his thick brow at her. "I don't want to be a random guy." He says in that deep alluring voice of his making her eyes snap towards his and she took in a sharp breath by the way his silver gray eyes intensely looked at her.

"But you are." She said confidently trying to sound rude but her voice appeared soft.

"We can change that." He suggested as the corner of his mouth twitched up in a smirk making her frown.

"Change what?" She was confused and he took a step towards her which she didn't notice due to her confusion.

"Change our relation from being strangers to being mates." He mused and her frown deepened. Her doe like ocean eyes stared up at him with questions.

"Mate?" She blurted confused.

 "Mate as in the mating...mate....etc...." He mused, wiggling his eyebrows at her with a smirk on his face.

Crimson coloured her face as she flushed red at his ridiculous words and gasped. "NO!" She snapped at him angrily walking towards the bike as she wrapped her arms around herself feeling giddy.

"I was just kidding Eleanor." He mused making her look away.

"Drop me at Ava's place, please." She says softly not looking at him.

"What will I get in return?" He asked, walking to her and she glared at him.

"Nothing!" She says plainly looking away from him. "Then we are staying here for the night; I suppose." He yawned and stretched his arms making panic to surge in her form.

"What do you w-want?" She asked, hesitant, gazing at him beneath her lashes.

What if he wants to kiss her? Or force her to have that bad deed thing with him in the out. Or what if he wants her to do something horrible for him?

"Just answer my calls....." He says smiling and she just gaped at him. That's easy peasy. Thank God, He didn't ask for what she was thinking.

"Okay." She says plainly.

"Along with a kiss right now." He finished and her mouth fell open in shock as she gasped at his straight forward vulgar words. "I will not kiss you!" She snapped making him grin at her. "Fine then we are staying here on the empty road tonight." He mumbled and she glared daggers at him.

"I'm not interested in you." She said with confidence earning his arched brow.

‘Lies!’ Her conscience muttered. 

"I will go on my own." She said under her breath and started walking towards the side of the road. In reality she has no clue where in the world she is.

And this Adonis like handsome, idiot is behaving like a stupid grown man, leaving a beautiful girl alone in the streets to walk home at this time of night. Eleanor made up her mind to teach Ava a proper lesson for leaving her in that crowd all alone.

A loud horn from behind her had her jumping in her place as she stared behind her with wide scared eyes to find him in his helmet and on his bike.

"Let's go." He said stopping the bike beside her and she stared at him with caution. "I will not give you any k-kiss." She said hesitant and he nodded his head.

"Okay." Eleanor sighed in relief and sat on the back with arms around his torso immediately before he could race the bike. He chuckled at her fear as they reached Ava's home.

Eleanor didn't wait a single second as she hopped off the bike and turned to face him. Her ladylike manners kicked in. "Thank you." She said softly and turned to leave.

He removed his helmet and abruptly yanked her to him by holding her arm and next thing his warm lips landed on her cheek and he kissed her cheek.

Eleanor moved back abruptly with a loud horrified gasp. Her hand went on her cheek as she gawked at him horrified. Who let out a throaty chuckle at her adorable reaction.

"I never said, I can't give you a kiss." He mused with a smirk. He wore his helmet and winked at her. Pulling the glass of helmet down as he drove the bike back and again faced her before putting his two fingers on the glass helmet towards his lips, kissing his fingers he then directed those fingers in her direction making red crimson to colour her cheeks as he drove away.

She just stood there; stunned gawking!

He freaking kissed her!

She needs Holy Water!
