26. A Violent Storm

YILEYNA

My attention snapped to the door, to see Ailema standing there, holding a basket in her hands.

“Oh, I do apologize for interfering, I just needed to grab some potatoes…” She smiled as she walked down the steps, her eyes flickering from me to the blood on Theon’s lips.

I dared to look at him, just in time to see him brush his thumb along his lip, wiping away most of the blood. His cold amber eyes flickered to me, in the orange glow of the lantern they seemed to burn like embers, making my stomach flutter with nerves. His tongue ran along his bloody lip.

This conversation wasn’t over…

I knew that.

“Ah young commander, could you help me with this?” Ailema asked, as she tried dragging a large sack of potatoes.

Oh, she could drag it, I knew she was giving me the chance to leave and I was going to take it. He didn’t reply, walking over to her, his gaze flickered to me. I raised an eyebrow, wiping the blood from my lip and keeping my gaze locked with his as I licked my thumb slowly.

His eyes flashed gold, I smirked smugly as I spun around and headed for the exit. I was halfway up the steps when I was yanked back, a scream left my lips as my back hit his hard chest. One hand cupped my neck, tilting my head back.

“This isn’t over.” He whispered in my ear, his other hand running down my stomach, making my core knot as a ripple of pleasure thrummed through me, making me shiver. Just when I thought he’d let me go, he ripped the necklaces from my neck, making my heart thud, the stinging pain where they had cut into my skin making me gasp.

 “I told you, the only thing that should be around this neck is my hand.”

He let go of me and turned away, leaving me frozen for a moment.

Didn’t he care that Ailema was right there? Or was he so confident she wouldn’t say anything? After all, he was the one who didn’t want anyone to know about us.

Not replying or daring to look at the woman, I rushed up the stairs trying to clear my head and didn’t even notice that someone was in front of me until I hit a rock-solid wall and tumbled backwards.

“Got you.” Raiden’s voice came as he grabbed my waist, stopping me from falling and steadying me on my feet. 

“Thanks.” I said with a smile, smoothing my hair and jacket.

 “The princess said you went looking for me.” He asked concerned. I smiled sneakily at him.

“You already know why I said that.”

He sighed and nodded.

“Yes, I do. Clearly I don’t understand the entire reasons, but be careful.” He advised with a small smirk

“I will.”
