The Enemy's Kiss Chapter 13 – The Unplanned Plan
(Brielle’s POV)Grandma was sitting in her rocking chair on the porch when we returned home, but her eyes only flickered on the blood stain on my shirt, not asking anything and just pursing her lips. I stopped to kiss her on the cheeks and entered the house without telling her what had happened since she did not ask how I got the stain.She was used to it already with grandpa and daddy returning home, looking worse than my situation, but as a wife and a mother, she was not allowed to ask what happened. When I was young, Dad would scold me for constantly questioning what happened to them, and I wouldn’t say I liked it whenever they would remind me it was the rule. Couldn’t we worry about the people we love?Now that I was a huntress, I still didn’t understand it, doubting that I could hold myself from asking my future husband or children about what happened to them whenever they returned home hurt.We found Adam and Giles in the living room, getting ready to track Monty in the possible
The Enemy's Kiss Chapter 14 – The Truth
(Brielle’s POV)When I reached the Kirkwood residence, I was surprised to see that the gate was closed. I peeked at the mansion, and as usual, there were lights on the first level of the house, assuring me there were still people inside.I held onto the metal picket fence, mounting quietly as I stepped on the middle rail and carefully lifted my leg and foot on the sharp top rail of the gate to cross on the other side. I made a graceful jump on the ground and wandered my eyes to my surrounding, checking right away where exactly the surveillance camera was.If they were watching the videos, catching me would be better.I walked to the driveway as if relaxing in the park until I reached the main door. Unlike the tall metal gate, the door was slightly ajar, and I only needed to push it wide open.“Dinner!” I heard Aarush in a loud voice coming from the kitchen.Quietly, I walked toward where he was, and just like this morning, he was busy preparing a meal but only for one. My eyes narrowe
The Enemy's Kiss Chapter 15 – Band-Aid Solution
(Cole’s POV)“Can’t you fix this?” Lucilla asked worriedly when I got home.“I can’t,” I answered truthfully, looking at Aarush and watching him editing the video. He copied them, typed codes only he could understand.“What are you doing?” Lucilla turned her head on him.“You said you can’t erase or change her memories because of blah, blah, blah…” He squinted his eyes as he typed faster, then grinned at us. “So, I’m erasing you in the video,” he said proudly.He played the clips again, and even Lucilla gasped in surprise when she saw Brielle alone in the entire video.“Can’t we think of other ways?” Lucilla insisted again. “Think, Nicholas! Your huntress is not an idiot or stupid,” she muttered worriedly.Aarush nodded. “Your future girlfriend graduated from the top of her class,” he muttered, focusing on typing again. “She will surely come here to ask you.” His forehead creased, standing up and pointing his index finger at the screen. “Showtime!”He walked toward the wall, pushing t
The Enemy's Kiss Chapter 16 – Wanting The Truth
(Brielle’s POV)“Do I really have to do this every time you’re hurt?” Lucilla said annoyingly after giving Aarush an ice pack. She took the cream inside their first aid box and carefully applied it to the small cut on his arm that he got from our little squabble on the floor.He grinned at her, then glanced at me. “You’re really strong,” he clucked his tongue and shook his head. “I thought I could beat you, but I couldn’t.”“You’re an idiot. You can’t beat a huntress like -” Lucilla pressed her lips tightly, glancing at Cole and then at me.My eyes squinted, turning my head at Cole and eyeing him suspiciously. Sitting on the chair, he quietly ate the dinner Aarush had prepared himself. He didn’t answer, not even look at me. I walked in his direction and grabbed his wrist, stopping him from lifting his hand to take a bite of the chicken meat.“Did grandma tell you about us?” I asked curiously as I shook my head, doubting if my grandmother had told him the secret of the Order. “How did
The Enemy's Kiss Chapter 17 – Just One Kiss
(Brielle’s POV)I lowered my head, releasing myself from Cole’s spellbinding gaze. He had this kind of interesting gaze that no matter how I tried to escape it, it was like I would still be bound to him. I leaned on the wall, which I was sure was a door moments ago.“It was a state-of-the-art kind of technology,” Aarush grinned as if reading my mind.I was starting to hate his friendly and cute face, but I glanced at the computer screens. We also have these at the headquarters, but I was never interested in them. I didn’t need Aarush’s state-of-the-art technology to catch an outcast creature of the night. As my father always said, I needed to hone my hunting skills and stay focused. The latter was my weakness, and Cole was my poof on that. He stood up, showing me the real recording of what had happened and watching it again as if seeing his favorite TV show. I walked toward him, pressing the pause button, studying the part where the newborn was on top of him as they grappled on the g
The Enemy's Kiss Chapter 18 – Focus, Brielle
(Brielle’s POV)“You wanted to ask me something?” Cole asked, nibbling my bottom lip playfully while his hands grazed the skin of my neck.My mind went blank when Cole plunged his tongue into my mouth, greedily exploring and taunting me to dance with his. Not remembering anything, I accepted his challenge, letting our tongues play and sharing scorching kisses that his touch seemed to have a fire, leaving little flames on my skin as his hands grazed my neck down to the slope of my breasts. He seemed to have a habit of feeling my heartbeat.He deepened the kiss and pulled down the front zipper of my shirt, smiling to see I was wearing a lacy brassiere instead of a sports bra.“Much better…” he whispered in between our kisses.I smiled, contenting myself with his ambrosial and luscious taste. Cole was making me crazy with his mind-blowing kisses, and I could not control my heart, erratically pounding inside my chest that it might jump out of my body at any moment.He left my mouth, tilti
The Enemy's Kiss Chapter 19 – No Such Thing As Diplomacy
(Brielle’s POV)“I will pretend I did not see you, Aarush.”Grandma muttered softly but startled us when she showed up at the side of the house where I escaped a while ago. I couldn’t tell from her blank face if she was unhappy or disappointed, but I was sure it was either of the two since I had flown the coop when everyone thought I was resting in my father’s bedroom.“How did you know?” The panic in my voice gave me away.“You’re my granddaughter,” She smirked, shaking her head as she heaved a sigh. I didn’t have to guess because she sounded unhappy and disappointed altogether.Aarush grinned at my grandmother. “We’re leaving after this assignment, Gertrude,” he informed, unsure if the information was for her or me.“It was for the best,” she uttered in a hushed tone, nodding gently at him. “Good night, Aarush! Don’t fall, Gabrielle,” she turned her back on me, walking toward the main door, leaving me into thinking if I should climb up the wall or follow her. “I guess that’s your
The Enemy's Kiss Chapter 20 – Stay Away
(Cole’s POV)Xian was humming behind the top counter of the home bar, swinging her hips at the sound she could only hear from her wireless earphone. She smiled wickedly to whom she considered her customers in the early morning.“Here you go,” Xian smiled, pushing the tall glass of my drinks toward me. “AB positive for someone heartbroken,” she turned to Lucilla. “An O for my beautiful sister and a beer for us humans.” Instead of taking the beer, Aarush took Lucilla’s tall glass, smelling it. He wrinkled his nose, returning it to her and taking the beer mug Xian gave him.Xian pulled a chair and sat across from us, making her look like she was in a panel discussion. She lifted her mug and drank it like water.“Aaahh!” She moaned, closing her eyes and smiling sweetly after putting the mug down. “So?” She cleared her throat and amusingly looked at each of us. “What did I miss?”“Nothing much,” Aarush sounded displeased as he put his mug down on the table. “All I know is Ichiro’s going t
