"Are you done?""Seriously?" A light scoff. "That was the softest I have ever spoken."She shrugged. Honestly, it almost had her.Almost. "I don't know. It sounded a little rough around the edges. Wasn't as hypnotizing as you thought it would be."A light chuckle echoed around her, one that sounded a little distant from her now. She relaxed her hold on her dagger, relieved that she might not have to use it eventually, besides the fact that she would be fighting against the invisible, she didn't even know how to wield the weapon. So, it was good this way. "A little bit of practice and I'll have you wrapped around my fingers.""In your dreams.""Your dreams, of course. Where else?"She gritted her teeth, walking away.His cocky attitude was starting to get on her nerves and if she wasn't in a dire situation right now, she would have plenty to say to that. "I don't have time for this foolery."He chuckled. "You've become difficult but when were you never?"Her feet dipped into the c

There was no place to hide. She watched in horror as the door swung open and Eli bolted in, heading straight for her. "Donna, I---" he paused instantly, his gaze moving from her sleeping figure on the chair and the one kneeling by her side. He didn't need to take his mask off, but she knew that look that flashed in his brown eyes. He had never looked at her like that before. "E---" she started to say, rambling for words to explain the situation, but he drew his sword and the blade felt like a threatening presence at the base of her neck. "Step away from her."What?!Did he not recognize her?"Step away this instant or I shall slit your throat!"The threat in his voice was as clear as day. He would do it.Just a little tilt forward and her head would be gone.It would be clean too. Severed.He stared at her like she was a complete stranger, like he had never seen in his entire life, like she was putting his entire being at risk and he would do anything to save it from her.Like sh

The chains went slack around her ankle, hitting the floor with a rattle. "Where have you been?" Her voice was cold and he flashed her a smile. It was an uncanny sight. "I got trapped in a baby."Well, that was the lamest excuse she had ever heard. How could he have gotten trapped in a baby?His hands moved around her other ankle, taking off the chains. She could see how his muscles twitched beneath his cloth again, a low groan made it out of the guard's lips, and in a flash, his eyes were set on her again. Flashing between black and the reptilian one that immediately took charge. "Our energies do not match. I can't last in this body."The chains around her other ankle fell and he leaned in to undo the one around her neck. She tensed up, the distance between them little as he worked on the collar. Staring ahead of her and with her heart racing with fear of the ticking clock loud in her mind, it was getting difficult to breathe, knowing that anytime soon, Eli would burst into t

Eli had gone to sleep with a heavy heart, and just as he had been doing for the past three nights, he didn't share the bed with his Donna. He had woken up with a heavy heart too, had his meetings with the same state of mind, so one could imagine how much joy it had brought him when Belladonna told him that she still wanted to see her surprise that evening. The same surprise that he had planned for her, before the coffin incident drove a wedge in-between them.Quickly, he had taken her to the fountain. The one he took her to a couple of months ago. That was her first surprise.For Belladonna, she had been disappointed in herself for not making any headways in her plan last night.How could she ever find out the truth on time, if she kept on allowing her emotions to get in the way?It was a tough life out here and she had to be stronger than that. Pushing her overwhelming feelings aside, she had picked the first way out of the mess she had found herself in. Asking him for her surpris

Something flashed in his eyes, and he moved closer, his hands cupping her face, his thumb trailing the base of her bottom lip. After a moment of deep thought, his lips met hers in a hungry kiss, one she willingly submitted herself to.As he took her lips, her hands wandered down to his pants, grabbing his hardened length through the fabric and giving it a little squeeze. He moaned into their kiss, a groan resonating from his chest, and she took that as an encouragement to do it again. He pulled away this time, burying his face into the crook of her neck, pressing his next moan into her skin, the sound muffled to her ears. Her toes curled at the pleasure that brought her and once again she hated the fact that it had to be tonight."When does it end?"She didn't need to think too much. She knew what he was talking about."Tonight or tomorrow morning."He drew in a long breath and pulled away from her completely this time. She blinked in confusion.What was he doing?"You can come and
