Lyrie’s stomach churned. The presence of this man was so intimidating that there was a thin line of sweat on her forehead.
Blood drained from a face and for a moment Amelia thought that she was sick. What was it about Vargauz that made Lyrie so scared? Her face appeared to age and it seemed that she forgot to breathe. Was it that her plans were about to fail? Did she feel threaten that now she won’t be able to face Xicouth? Did that mean that now she wouldn’t pester her anymore? Was having a boyfriend such a big thing?
If this was the case, Amelia had to take advantage of the situation. Shedding her inhibitions, she smiled at Vargauz and said huskily, “I am so
Like a gentleman, Vargauz opened the door of the car and smiled warmly at Amelia. It was a beautiful car like a model who sashayed on the floor in a fashion week in a swimsuit.
The cart moved in the cart path and Amelia noticed that it was pretty dark, only the cart path was lit. “I think we should come some other day,” she remarked. “It is so dark that I cant see anything.” Plus she really wanted to go back. It was already 10PM and somehow she regretted the idea of coming with him to inspect the golf course in the dark. She didn’t know why she was having so much confidence in this stranger that he would not allow anything wrong to happen to her.
Amelia was pressed hard against Vargauz’s chest and was ascending at a rapid speed. She closed her eyes tight shut and she grabbed him instinctively. There was heavy wind slapping across her hair, her face and with the way she was lifted up, it looked as if the world beneath them had vanished and they got sucked into oblivion. All she could feel was his strong, muscular arms across her back and ruffle of strong wings that flapped through the air. She was surely dreaming.
Vargauz closed the door behind him. When he was gone, Amelia relaxed her tensed shoulders. She was shivering. He removed her jeans and the white shirt and dropped them on the carpet. She stripped off her undergarments and then walked to the bathroom. The bathroom was so luxurious that for a moment Amelia gawked. Right in the center was a Jacuzzi that could easily fit three people and a big showerhead was fixed over it. On the sides were cupboards that boasted of aromatic soaps, candles and fluffy white towels. The lights were soft and just enough for her to feel warm. To her surprise,
Amelia’s body quivered at the thought. “W— what do you mean? That’s a bloody devil. It can’t appear in the human world and simply abduct me. It is impossible. I have never heard of this kind of a thing. In my opinion your country club is haunted and I will never go there.”Vargauz kept his coffee cup on the table and gazed at her through his thick eyelashes. “They can take the shape of humans easily. Don’t you think that a thing as powerful as that, a creature who must have come from his land only for you, would do anything to get you and leave?”Her body froze while having coffee. Her head recoiled and her with wide eyes she star
Amelia had closed her eyes. She was bathing in his scent. It was intoxicating. Or was it that she missed this kind of love and warmth? Would he also leave her?Vargauz’s wings susurrated as they spread around her. He wanted to make love to her, merge her with his soul and drink her in. He had waited for her all his life. How could he stop? His body wasn’t his, it belonged to the moment of time. There were so many juices flowing. Adrenalin gushed to his mind. He took her hands and pinned them on the top and then kissed her so deeply and passionately that he lost himself. He took his clothes off and Amelia noticed the dark tattoos that curled on his chest, his stomach and arms.
Soon they were on the way to her college.“You sure don’t want any help?” he asked again.“No,” she replied.“Well, in either case I will be around. Call me when you need and I’ll be there. And now give me your phone.”“Why?”“Give it to me baby,” he pleaded.
Xikouth’s voice was dripped with icicles. The way he spoke chilled her to the marrow. She was terrified. So many shenanigans were going on and she felt like she was in the center of them. Why was everything linked to her? Why did her father marry Lyrie? Her skin was clammy and she could feel tremors in her hands and fingers. In order to hide it, she clutched the hem of her shirt. The sound of her heartbeat thrashed in her ears. Her facial muscle tensed. She knew something was off with her stepmother but she didn’t expect her to be so twisted that she sacrificed her, like threw her in the depths of the river. She started having such high regard for Vargauz that her eyes filled with tears. A lump formed in her throat. He didn’t think twice to sacrifice his life in order to save her. Xikouth tilted his face to watch her expressions turn from that of terror to pain to anger. She glared at him as sudden anger filled her mind. What was this man doing here if the mission was accomplished? W
