Trinta E Oito Divórcios, Uma Traição

“Even if you aren’t a demon, you are a fucking animal,” I growl, not sure if I’m talking to Christian... or myself. He cranes his neck and studies me coyly out of the corner of his eye, as I’m bent there right over his back, erection flush against his ass cheeks… “Drop your pants already,” he orders. I shouldn’t be in love with another man, let alone a vampire. I’m an enforcer for the Family, a servant of the church that runs this whole Godforsaken country, but you can’t change how you’re wired. You can’t change who you want, even when you’re natural enemies – blood-sucking demon and baptized hunter, both bound to be killed for this transgress.

“What do you think you are doing?” He asked with his eyes getting darker with every passing second. “S-Seducing you.” I mumbled while fidgeting my fingers as his deep breath made the sensitive spot between my legs to throb. This wasn’t how it was supposed to be. It should be the other way round. “And who are you?” He asked as he lowered his head with his warm breath fanning my upper lip. I gulped as my body was visibly trembling. I wanted to run away but I couldn’t. His eyes had these magnets which were attracting every fiber inside my body towards him. “Y-your…y-your…” A lone tear escaped my eyes with my lower lip trembling. “My what?” He rasped as his black raven eyes were dwelling inside my emerald ones as I whimpered when he clenched my hairs in a fist at the back of my neck. “Your whore.” I admitted and he smashed his lips against mine. “Let me treat you like one then.” He growled inside my mouth.

Sabrina se gabava de conseguir desarmar bombas de olhos fechados, por pura intuição. O resultado foi um erro de julgamento que ativou o programa de detonação secundária da bomba. Eu intervi em caráter de emergência, salvando todo o prédio com o perigoso método de condensação por nitrogênio líquido. Sabrina, por sua vez, foi afastada da linha de frente e suspensa para observação. Meu marido, Lindomar, quis defendê-la, mas eu o impedi com firmeza. — Se você a defender agora, não só não conseguirá salvá-la, como também será suspenso junto com ela! Sabrina não aguentou a pressão e forjou um acidente para se matar com uma explosão. Deixou apenas uma carta. Na carta, ela acusava Lindomar: [Quando eu mais precisei de você, você escolheu se proteger.] Lindomar não disse nada. Apenas guardou a carta como um tesouro em seu escritório. Anos depois, Lindomar já era um especialista em desarmamento de explosivos de renome nacional. Durante um ataque terrorista, fui capturada e equipada com uma bomba-relógio. Ele veio pessoalmente ao local para desarmá-la, mas, na minha frente, replicou a mesma técnica falha que Sabrina usara anos antes. Ele olhou para a contagem regressiva e sorriu para mim. — Veja, ela só estava nervosa. Se eu a tivesse ajudado naquele ano, agora ela seria uma heroína! Então a bomba explodiu, e não restou nada de mim. Quando abri os olhos novamente, eu havia retornado ao momento em que ele se preparava para defender Sabrina. Ele não sabia que, naquele prédio, estava guardado o servidor central com os maiores segredos de estado do país.
