It was getting late, so she needed a torch, and the only one available was her phone torch. Clarissa also knew she had limited time because Archer had gone to town in his wolf and not his human form. He would be here at any moment, and whatever the spooky woman wanted to pass across would be lost.If Archer and the history she read were correct, she would definitely find something here that will guide her to the truth. She had no idea what the truth was, but whatever it was, she hoped she would be ready to brace it bravely.Clarissa switched on the torch as she walked deeper into the cave. Unlike the previous time, it was so dark here. She suddenly wished she had the spooky woman to shine her through, but she didn’t so that was ok too. She walked deeper till she came to a spot that led to nothing. Too scared to go further, she turned to the walls. There were designs on them that she couldn’t make out from where she stood, so she stepped closer to them. The lights from her phone helpe
Archer watched Clarissa from where she stood. For some reason, she looked shocked and slightly frightened by what she was going through. He didn’t have any idea how to make her feel better, but he could see that she was almost climbing the car in a panic.“Are you ok?” Archer asked softly, not taking a step towards her, afraid that she might hurt herself in the process.“Who are you?” She asked tentatively.He rolled his eyes. “Who is the man that had been holding, and kissing you all along, and went fishing with you? Stop playing around, mate,” he said softly.She ran towards him then and threw her hands around him. He could literally feel her heartbeat. It was over the roof. What could have happened in his absence? Oh, dear! Hopefully, nothing too horrible.When they separated, he pulled her face into his arms. Her eyes were overly bright, and that made him frown. Had she been crying or something?“Tell me, what happened when I was gone?” He asked softly.She shrugged. “Nothing much
The drive home was quick and fast. Archer packed by the side of the building, and Clarissa got out. He could see the smile on her face that they were finally back at her apartment. She was beyond elated and happy about it.Without getting her bags, she ran to the door. Archer was behind her, trying to bring out the bags from the car boot when he heard a scream. He abandoned the items and ran towards the house.“What’s wrong?” Archer asked immediately as he got to her.She said nothing, as she pointed at the space. His eyes shifted from hers to the surroundings. Everywhere was a mess, and all her furniture and things were turned upside down. Archer blinked in shock. Who could have done this to her? He turned back to her and pulled her to himself. She cried hard on his chest. His fingers brushed her hair softly.“I’m so sorry,” she said as she pulled away from him. “I keep pulling you into my mess. I should be able to clean up after myself, but all these craps keep happening, and I don
“Oh, my goodness!” Archer stepped into the reception, his eyes fixed on the elevator. Stacey winked at him as she slowly slid her hands through his shirt. Archer glared at her, but she didn’t seem to fling one bit.“I think you should know your limits.”“Come on, I’m just…”Stacey’s words died in her mouth when she looked towards the gate. Archer watched as she retracted her hands from his shirt quickly, and ran over to the door. He turned just in time to see Stacey hug Clarissa so hard.The woman was nothing but a chameleon, but Clarissa wouldn’t hear anything against her. She kept insisting that Stacey was her best friend and a good human being.“I’ve missed you so much,” Stacey cried.Archer could hear how fake the woman was, but Clarissa didn’t pick on it at all. “I’ve missed you, Stacey. We have so much we need to talk about,” Clarissa said with a laugh.“I know, right.”Sam pulled the box inside and slowly made his way to Archer. Archer decided to let his opinion on Stacey sli
Clarissa stood up from her seat and looked at Archer in shock. Why would he take such a decision without telling her? It was so weird to her. Stacey’s words about Archer being dominant came back to her, and she was beyond pissed that it was true.“Clarissa, do you have a problem with that?” Archer asked easily.Clarissa scoffed. “You go ahead and do things without clearing it with me, and you ask that? Of course, I have a problem with it,” she snapped in anger.He touched her shoulders lightly. “Mate, I took that decision with your best interest in mind.”“It’s your best interest to throw me out of my workplace?” She asked in shock.He shook his head. “I did it for your safety. It’s important that you are ok. I want to make sure that nothing untoward happens to you. I need to make sure that you’re ok. It’s very important to me that this is the case with you.” She sighed as she looked away from him. She couldn’t imagine being without her job. Quietly, she took her purse and walked tow
“Come in now,” Archer mumbled softly.Clarissa dragged her box into the small cozy cottage that buzzed with electricity. She was really feeling so strange and weird, but she was trying to make it less noticeable.Archer had done so much for her already, and the least she wanted was to make him regret his generosity. Or, his feeling of love. She knew he loved her as he shouted it at her. She walked behind him, marveling at how broad his back was. The energy was spooky, but she didn’t care much about it. All she thought about was what Sam had said. She wouldn’t be able to see him anymore if he died at the time that had been specified.Time was speeding, and it was nearly time for his death. It amazed her that Archer wouldn’t say anything about it. He was the strangest man she had ever met, and she loved him so intensely because of this. She decided that she was going to do anything to save him.“You know, I like it when you look at me so intensely like that,” he said softly.Clarissa s
“It’s going to be fine. She would be fine,” the doctor said softly.He had been saying this for the past hour, but Clarissa had not woken up. Archer was incredibly worried and was about to shake the life out of the “Are you sure?”“Arch…” Clarissa mumbled, jarring the men to look at her. Archer jumped on the bed and held Clarissa close to him. He pulled back, looking into her eyes, and making sure that she was ok.“Are you alright now?” He asked quietly. She nodded, too weak to speak. “Doctor, please, do anything for her to be ok.”The doctor smiled. “The worst is now over. You can rest assured that she will be fine now. All she needs is complete rest, and everything would be fine. I will take my leave now.”“Thank you, doctor,” Archer said calmly.He nodded, and Sam walked him out. Alone, Archer turned his attention back to Clarissa. He held her and, pecked her consistently on the forehead. He couldn’t imagine a life without her. He just couldn’t.“I’m fine,” she said weakly.He sh
His tongue sought entrance into her mouth, making her moan into his mouth.Something inside was throbbing so hard and seemed to be trying to get to the surface, and somehow she didn’t care about it. She didn’t care about what she may or may not have seen these past few days. All she cared about was that a handsome man was kissing her so hard, and making her wet.It was all that mattered.Her fingers went around his neck, and she pulled him closer to her. Her lips parted slightly, and his tongue sorted hers. There was a battle of wills. But, she slowly let him win, and he pulled her in his mouth with his teeth, making her moan. “Arch,” she said softly.His fingers went underneath hers, and she was cooped up like a doll and carried over to the sand. She had no fear that anyone would come around at this time of the night.She only wanted one thing, and that was to be lost in Archer. Clarissa didn’t care who saw what. All she knew was that she was living her best life with her prince. He
