Layla held on tight to the car as Nolan drove as fast as he could.She kept worrying about him because he was shot, but he had warned her to stay quiet and he also looked fine.She was tempted to ask where they were going because as far as she was concerned, the route he was taking was not the way back to the hotel."Get my phone" he instructed, breaking Layla out of her stream of thoughts. She hastily began to search for his phone which she handed over to him.Nolan collected the phone from Layla as he unlocked it. He went through his call log as he searched for Xander's number. He immediately dialed in the number when he found it."Nolan!" Xander's surprised voice rang through the speakers after the first dial."Where are you?" Nolan questioned as he heard a lot of noise from the background."I'm at a club" came Xander's reply."Get out of there immediately!" Nolan instructed."Alright, on it" Xander responded, he could hear the urgency in Nolan's voice. "I'm out, do you need anyth
After driving to a point, Nolan stepped out of the car as he spoke to Layla."Come out"Layla immediately came out of the car, her bare feet hitting the cold ground, she lost her shoes when trying to run away from their attackers."Where are we going sir? Layla couldn't help but ask him, because he didn't expect her to walk barefooted."To my lake house, you'll be safe there" he replied as they continued walking."Are we walking there?" She questioned because she was not expected to walk barefoot there." No, I had someone arrange a car for me, we will get there soon" he responded as they continued walking.He had discarded his car there Incase Hayes was tracking him.About a few minutes later, they both came face to face to a black car, which was lying at the side of the road.Layla looked around her surroundings, they were literally in the middle of nowhere, it was already dark and not a single soul was seen around this place."Get in" he instructed getting into the car also.Layla
Layla quickly ran back to Nolan after finding the lighter."Sir…." She knelt in front of him as she panicked. The blue color on his skin was slowly spreading."I've gotten the lighter" she quivered, placing her shaky hands on his shoulders."Burn it out.." he said in a ragged breath. Layla needed to burn the poison out."Burn what out?What about the bullets you've been shot at!" She exclaimed, breathing hard. What did he seriously want to get burned out? How did he even expect her to burn a human skin, she would literally pass out in the process of doing so."The poison for fuck sake!" Nolan gritted his teeth in pain. The Poison was spreading rapidly."How do you expect me to do that?" Layla muttered, she would not be strong enough to do that. She can't even stand seeing someone in pain, how can she be the cause of inflicting pain on Someone."I see you want me dead" Nolan grunted in sarcasm, he was the one hurt, yet she was the one complaining."No, no, no, I don't want you dead" Lay
Layla frowned upon hearing what he had said."Mates.." she mumbled squinting her eyes in confusion."Yes mates" Nolan confirmed. There was no need in hiding anything from her.She had already witnessed it all, so she should know everything."What is a mate?" Layla blurted out, utterly speechless. She just stared at him blankly."Forget it. I'll get a rag to wipe the blood off your body" Layla attempted to stand up on her feet but she was dragged back by Nolan who made her sit on his laps pulled her and he held her hands entwining their fingers together."Don't move" he cautioned in a cold steel voice which sent shivers down Layla's spine.Layla gulped nervously because of the way his large hands felt on her soft small ones and her insides were already a mess right now, not to mention that she was already burning Red."You're hot, you feel it too right," he whispered softly to her as Layla unconsciously arched her back uncomfortably, grinding against him, as her ass unconsciously wig
Layla's eyes remained glued to Nolan's as she stayed unblinking. His icy blue eyes staring deep into her brown ones.Layla soon realized that they've been staring into each other's eyes for quite a long time which made her quite uncomfortable.She cleared her throat loudly stepping out of her reverie."Why were you crying earlier?" Nolan suddenly asked. Actually that thought has been bothering him as he just couldn't understand her behavior earlier.She was crying when she was not hurt and even wished that she was the one hurt instead."Because I was worried about you.." came Layla's honest reply and a dry laugh vibrated out of Nolan's mouth, which left Layla in amusement.This was literally the first time she was seeing him laugh."Worried!!" He chuckled with a sneer.She was the first person that had ever told him those words, that she was worried about him.Most people looked up to him for protection not to worry about him."You don't have to be worried about me, Layla, worry abou
"What do you mean by no?" Layla stuttered in exasperation."I've been drugged.." he informed and Layla fell back to the ground.Tonight was really a long night, it has been this after that."Drugged?" She raised a brow at him.As she wondered what drugs they might have used on him and when they drugged him."Yes.." Nolan confirmed gritting his teeth in anger.He could feel the aphrodisiac running his veins.And he knew exactly when he had consumed it.It was definitely when he drank the wine that Hayes offered him, a wine that contained aphrodisiac.It dawned unto him that Hayes had other tricks up his sleeve."It's not bad right?" Layla stammered, if it was just drugs, he could just sleep and when he wakes up the drugs would wear off, or better still soak himself in cold water."They're not just normal drugs Layla.." he drew out sucking his teeth. He needed to find a woman as soon as possible."Then what are they?" She asked, seeing his discomfort, she could tell that it was serious.
For the first time in his life, Nolan was stunned. That was a very bold step that she took. She just voluntarily placed herself into a pit of fire. "What do you think you're doing?" Nolan asked in a low voice. She was playing with fire, and wouldn't want to get burnt. "You can use me instead.." Layla muttered with certainty. She strongly didn't feel like letting him go and be with another woman. His lips curved up and he scoffed inwardly, his icy blue eyes staring wickedly at her. "You don't want to do this Layla.." he said, making way to push her away from himself. "That's up for me to decide…" Layla said in a shaky voice. As she marveled on how brave she had become overnight. Why was she even doing this, offering herself to the devil. "We're adults sir, let's just get on with this and forget it ever happened, it's just to help you…" she sounded trying to convince herself. He might get paralyzed before he even found a woman. "Just so you know, there's no backing out.." h
Layla and Nolan both engaged In a heart shattering kiss, it was as if they didn't care about anything that went on in the world at that moment, as they only cared to fulfill each other's sexual desires.Their kiss deepened. Both were kissing each other with savage hunger that their own fears couldn’t seem to extinguish. It was rough and luscious and ruthless. She didn’t know Nolan could be this savage.As he was always cold and unapproachable.But she liked it. She loved it. The unrestrained and raging Nolan was so irresistibly seductive. And she wanted him even more. Every side of him, gentle or ferocious, she wanted it all. She wanted all of him right at the moment and didn't care about anything else.The only thing Layla was certain of, was that she wanted him so badly."Oh, Nolan, she moaned against his lips. She immediately clasped her mouth shut when she called him that, she just called him by his name."I'm so.." she began to apologize as she pulled away from the kiss, but Nolan
