PEACE BETWEEN STORMS

MIAFor the very first time since I arrived at the castle, I made it to my room myself.I didn't know how I managed to do it. Maybe my brain had registered the route subconsciously.All I knew was the second I came down from the staircase, I just moved in a daze until I arrived at my room.I fell into my bed, and before long, surrendered myself to sleep.A heavy knock on my door woke me up. “Go away!” I groaned into my pillow.Whoever it was opened the door anyway.“It's time to get up, doll.” I groaned even harder when I heard Mr Peacock's voice.There was no room to think. An hour later, I had eaten light, and then began preparing for lunch with Lev and his family.“Peach didn't come around,” I said, breaking the silence.Mr Peacock was usually very chatty. But for a chatty man, he seemed awfully quiet.“No,” he simply said. That was a direct, and straight forward answer. If I didn't know any better, I would think he was mad at me.But as I searched my brain trying to figure out w

REALITY TV

MIAWe didn't go back to the castle together when the successful lunch with Lev’s parents was over.I didn't even know we weren't returning immediately until he parked the car, and pointed at the theater across.“They're showing the boy who cried love, movie. Wanna see it together?”My smile stretched my cheeks so wide it hurt. “How do you know I'm a sucker for romance movies?”“Because behind the girl who laughs at everything, there is someone with a romantic fantasy. Tell me what it is.”“Tell me why you're so nice first.”“Because I like you. Coming?”He didn't even give me the chance to process what he had just said.“I thought you wanted to know my romance fantasy?” I blanked out the latter part and focused on the former.“You'll tell me when the time is right. Now can we go before we miss the entire opening of the movie?”I laughed demurely, and took his hand. Together, we ran into the theater.We sat at the back because I wanted to be able to see the movie and everyone else.“T

RARE KINDNESS

LUCAI didn't go straight to the castle. I had one more stop before I would finally get to my destination.Thankfully, Mia was sensible enough to hold on tightly to me.The road I was driving on was pretty rough. But like diamonds, the destination was worth it.I drove through that road with a speed on par with light, and then finally stopped just at the edge of the sea.As I stopped the motorbike, I took off my helmet.I felt her move behind me. Slowly, she unclasped her hands around me.Using that opportunity, I came down from the bike.She followed suit.“You,” she said as she opened her eyes.“What is that? Thank you for saving your ass?”“Are you kidding me? Where is Lev? You just left him there?!” She screamed at me in alarm.“Maybe you should have thought about safety precautions before following him to a fucking theatre. If you're that obsessed with movies, then you ask for a TV or a fucking laptop and watch all of the movies in the world in the safety of your fucking room!” I

ADMIRABLE RESTRAINT

“What are you doing?” Luca asked, very confused.“Hugging you,” Mia replied.“You think this is going to change my mind and I'll suddenly want to waste my time watching a movie?”“No. I think you have been kind and this is my way of appreciating you.”He stepped out of the hug. “I have better ways for you to thank me.”“Really?” She folded her hands across her chest. “Like what?”“Sit on my face.”He said it so casually her mouth dropped open and refused to close.“I was joking.”“Wow, you're really not funny.” She shook her head.“Whatever. You can play nurse to the Russian if you want to. I'll be at the tent opposite this one. First light of morning, we're leaving.” He turned his back to her…“Wait, What's this place?!” She asked, stopping him.“A group of tents put together in the same land,” he replied sarcastically..She rolled her eyes. He couldn't see her anyway.“Don't roll your eyes at me.” He turned to face her.“I really didn't. Anyway, Lev will be knocked out. There's real

DRIPPING WET

MIABefore the devil returned to his tent, I went back to Lev.The room had gotten too tense and I knew I had to get out of there quickly.Lev was still deeply asleep when I walked in.I saw the sky above had darkened, and knew there was a possibility it would rain.With the blankets I found folded at a corner, I covered Lev's body.The other two I spread on the ground, using one for cover for myself.It was bound to be another long night. I wasn't really sure if I would get any sleep.My mind called for my attention and I decided to listen to it.I was drawn to a recap of my entire day.What had begun with me being accused of doing what I didn't do, had graduated into a confrontation that involved guns. Something I still wasn't still sure how it played out.Finally, the devil had surprised me.I couldn't help but smile thinking about him watching the boy who cried love with me.Sure he complained all through the movie, but not once did he fall asleep.Deep down in his heart, he proba

PLAY TIME

Luca's eyes dimmed with desire as he regarded Mia.This thinning of the invisible line began last night.Alone with her at the balcony with her seated on his lap as he slept off.It had continued with her whether consciously or subconsciously hovering around him.She wanted something he had been wanting. The invisible line was going to be crossed now, because all of his control had shattered.His eyes scanned her body as he circled her like a predator sizing its prey.Mia just stood still, breathing almost painfully difficult.As he rounded her, he folded the towel.There was no use for it anymore, and there also wasn't a railing to dry it on..He folded, and sized her up, folded and sized her up. Repeatedly, he continued until he had a perfectly folded towel and was standing in front of her again.“You're obsessed with orderliness,” Mia said, hoping to quench the budding tension in the room.Without saying a word in response to her, he turned his back to her, and went in search of

RAIN SMOOCH

There was nowhere else for Mia to run to as she found herself at a dead end.She was trying to figure out her options when Luca grabbed her from behind.“Found you,” he whispered, drowning out her screams of laughing terror.“You cheated!” She alleged as he spun her around to face him.Her hands were down to her side. They were just a breath apart. The only thing he needed to do was look down.Luca couldn't understand why things were so different with her.Any other girl he had even just a smidgen of attraction to, he would have handled it already.But with Mia, he was patient. Even when the patience tortured him.The rain poured down heavily on them as they looked into each other's eyes.“I think your laughter has woken up the entire camp,” he said to steer his mind away from looking down.“But it was fun, right? Or are you too much of a devil to admit to having fun?”“Are you kidding?” He scoffed. “The devil invented fun.”She giggled, and then bit her lips subconsciously.“When you

THE SCAR

Under the light of the stars and the moon, Mia's skin glittered like diamond stones.She made an impulsive decision, and acted on it before she could guilt herself into stopping.Taking a step back, she dragged her eyes to meet Luca's eyes.She didn't have to say a word. He understood what she meant just by looking into her eyes.Luca dragged his gaze down, starting from her nose which was a bridge of perfection, to her lips that he wanted framed so he could carry them in his pockets and kiss them every time.His eyes continued its trail down to her neck, and as she felt the stare, she angled her neck to give him a better view.He swallowed hard, resuming the journey to her clavicle.Further down he went until finally, his breath caught on reaching his destination.“Fucking gorgeous,” he muttered under his breath when he finally allowed himself to look at her breasts.They were just as perfect as he had imagined them to be.Perfectly round with equally large, round areolas.The most r

NEW SOUL?

LUCAI returned to the room after dropping off the mugs to find Mia fast asleep on my bed.Relieved, I drew closer to the bed to stare at her.“So beautiful,” I whispered as I watched the rise and fall of her chest.My finger reached out to her face, and I stroked her soft skin.She made a tiny sound which made me drag my finger away.I didn't want to wake her up, but I did want to keep staring at her.Truly the most beautiful woman I had ever seen..She taught me restraint even without saying a word.I never thought I would be able to keep my desires in check. But I wanted to, and for her alone.It was clear I wasn't going to get any sleep, and so I didn't bother.I just watched her until the first light of dawn.There was work to be done, so I left the room to get a headstart.A car stopped beside me, and Niko together with Dimitri walked out of it.“How come I never get my wish when I want to come to the tent?” Niko whined the moment he stepped out.I chuckled inwardly. It was clas

THE TALK

MIAThe door closed after the guard that had shown us into the room Lev would be staying at the castle, and I turned to see him seated on the bed, staring at me.“You sure you don't want to go back to your hotel room or your house?” I asked him.“If I go home looking like this, my father will throw a punch to my face first for getting beat up, then he'll call some ubiytsy. No one wants them to come around.”“I'm not even going to ask what ubiytsy means.”“Nice idea.” He gave me a thumbs up.I smiled in return, and walked around the room to take a good look.“Luca is very nice. I must confess I didn't expect him to be,” he said as I walked around.I didn't know if I would call the devil nice. He had his moments though.Was it hypocritical of me to think that way after how he looked after me last night? Sure.But make no mistake, the bad boy would always be the enemy, and he was a bad boy plus more.“You really hold him in high regard,” I replied dryly.“You don't?”My heart jumped at t
