Kiss in the Shadows Chapter 11
Satyr THE place appeared to be well over a decade old. The furniture surrounding me evoked images of ancient civilizations, resembling Egyptian paintings and sculptures. It felt as if I had been transported to a prehistoric era. I had once told Fiore that a long vacation here after our wedding would be nice, even if it meant not visiting the countries he had promised. We could have chosen to stay here for our honeymoon.But now, I no longer wished to be in this place. I yearned to escape from this situation. Despite its picturesque beauty, it felt empty, desolate, and shattered. This was far from the ideal vacation I had envisioned, or the flawless prenuptial retreat. Every corner of this place served as a painful reminder of him. It felt like a cage filled with misery.I needed to talk to Xylon. Perhaps he already knew a way for us to leave this place. Fiore had taken our only means of escape with him. We had driven here from Manila with his detestable buddy. How could we possibly re

Blu Ray disc I MOVED away to the far corner of the couch, stating firmly, "Don't come near me, you beast! I don't belong to you. I belong only to Fiore!"Xylon's smile immediately vanished, and he paused, staring at me. My heart raced uncontrollably, and I couldn't understand why. Part of me wanted to take back what I had said, but deep down, I knew it was the truth."What do you want to ask?" he suddenly became serious, and I cleared my throat."I want to find a way to get out of here.""You know we can't, unless Fiore comes back for us.""Then we have to figure out a solution.""I've tried, but we're in the middle of the forest. It would take days to reach the nearest shelter.""Call Fiore or anyone else to come here."I attempted to call Fiore, but to my dismay, he wasn't answering his phone. I didn't receive a single message from him either.I couldn't bring myself to tell Auntie Pat what had happened. It would only sadden and frustrate her. She had been my guardian ever since my

Thin Boxers FIVE days had passed, and it was hard to believe that I had been in this unfamiliar place for that long. I regretted not asking Fiore about the location before coming here. I had placed so much trust in him that I willingly agreed to accompany him without questioning anything. If only I had known where we were, perhaps I would have understood why the weather fluctuated between warm mornings and freezing evenings.Today, the sun was scorching hot, making me long for some fresh air outside. However, the intensity of the sun's heat felt like it could dissolve my skin.I also wanted to assist Xylon, who was constantly tidying up and organizing every little detail around me. He was taking care of everything, from cleaning and fixing things to cooking and carpentry, embodying all the qualities a woman looks for in a potential husband.I genuinely wanted to help him, but he didn't allow me to."Give me that broom. I'll do the sweeping," I said, snatching the broom from his grasp.

BookWHY is he modeling that underwear anyway? And why does it somehow affect me?The bound branches of wood almost fell directly at his feet when he saw me, specifically at the object I was holding in my hand."Sh*t! Why do you have that book with you? Are you reading that, Miranda?"My eyes darted to the book I was holding. I was kneeling in front of the center table where I had arranged the books. I froze and remained rooted in place when I read the title of the book in my hand.How to masturb*te?He extended his hand towards me and, like a flash of lightning, snatched the filthy thing from me.How did that book get here? The books I was sorting out were all about music, about how music becomes pleasurable as it stimulates the brain, not about how to stimulate private parts!"U-Uh, I don't know! I don't know why there's a book like that in here!" I pretended to be angry."Be honest, Softy. Are you masturbating?"I was stunned, and I know my face is very... very, very red right now.

Guilty THE pounding of my heart was unbearable. Its rhythm was so deafening that I couldn't hear anything else. Would I actually say yes? If I did, I would be indulging in another taste of him.Suddenly, a part of the book I had been holding slipped from my grasp, jolting me awake from my dazed state. We both gazed at the thick cover of the torn book, its pages falling apart."Sh*t!" he exclaimed, his voice filled with frustration. He snatched the book from my hand and swiftly stood up."This is my book! What have you done to it?" He desperately tried to gather the scattered pages from the floor, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't restore it to its original form.I could see the desperation etched on his face, and I recoiled as his glare intensified. "That's the last edition of Nikolai Medtner's 'Art of Music' from 1951. There are no more reprints available anywhere in the world! And you've torn it to pieces!"I had no idea that those music books belonged to Xylon. Just a mi

White Sauce XYLON had no intention of speaking to me. He was dining alone, distancing himself from our usual shared meals over the past few days. I suppose today was an exception.Fine, it was my fault. What could I do to make him forgive me? Damn him! If he wanted to give me the silent treatment, then so be it. After all, his teasing had become annoying.Frustration welled up inside me as I closed my eyes while passing by him, hoping for some sort of reaction. I grabbed a plate and sat in front of him. This was fine. No one would bother me now. I would wait until Fiore returned in two days to take me as his wife. I clung to hope.I focused on my food, pretending that Xylon was alone in this ancestral house. "Fine. Let's do this! This is a cold war!" I thought to myself.But he didn't even look at me. He carried on with his meal as if I were an invisible presence before him."Hey!" I tried to catch his attention to no avail. In an attempt to annoy him, I stuck out my tongue, but it h
Kiss in the Shadows Chapter 17
Glowing in the Dark XYLON has been gone for quite some time. "Where did that arse go?" He left me alone in this old house. What if someone shows up here? It's getting late, and he's still out there in the middle of the forest.I reluctantly looked out the wide window, searching for any sign of him. I tightly gripped the window ledge. I shouldn't care, right? I shouldn't be thinking about him after what he said. I don't understand why he's so difficult to figure out.Sometimes, he's incredibly kind to me. Then, other times, he's distant and cold. Our relationship used to have its ups and downs, but now... it's getting even worse.It's his fault that I'm treating him this way. If only he would show some remorse. If he could only try to win me over.I let out a sigh and decided to wait for Xylon outside. We're surrounded by woods, and there could be wild animals around."What if?" I pondered for a moment. What if something happened to him? What if he was bitten by a snake and couldn't fi
Kiss in the Shadows Chapter 18
Don’t Fall I LOOKED up, even in the dark, and recognized him. "X-Xylon..." My voice trembled."What are you doing out here? Did you follow me?"I couldn't answer. Fear still gripped me, and I froze when I felt something cold on my leg. I instantly hugged Xylon."Why? What—""Xylon! There's something... on my leg...""Huh! What?" He looked down at my feet, and I felt something squirming on my knee.I jumped and clung to Xylon's neck. He quickly lifted me in his arms."Take me away from here! Hurry! Something is biting my foot!""Biting?" I couldn't see Xylon's reaction. I just buried myself in him. 'I'm scared to death, damn it!'There it was, the terrifying sound again. And it was close. Really close to us."P-Please, Xylon... Let's get out of here," I pleaded, holding him tightly. I could feel his breathing, almost panting."O-Okay," he said, slowly moving. I heard another sound, like panting. I knew it wasn't Xylon. We had company. 'What was that? A monster in the woods.' I gripped
