Blake POV
She jumped around the jet for whole time.She was so talkative that she wouldn't even let me sleep.
Finally, she found a movie to watch so sat down quietly while I thought I could take a nap.
Or so I thought.
"Blake?" She whispered.She was so close to my face.I opened my eyes and jumped.
"What the hell!" I gasped.
"What are you doing?" She asked and sat beside me.
"I am sleeping." I replied.
"Give me your coat.I am feeling cold." She demanded.I rolled my eyes and opened my coat.
"Thank you." She exclaimed happily and kissed my cheek.
She wore the coat and dropped her head on my shoulder.
She closed her eyes.She looked so beautiful.How could I fall asleep if such a beautiful woman was beside me.
"Stop staring.I know I am hot." She said with her eyes closed.
I laughed,"Yeah? Who said that to you?"
"You did." She replied.
"I never did." I scoffed.
"You did.In your mind." She said.
"You are really talkative and that's what you are.Not hot not anything else." I replied.
"So you are telling me that I am not hot?" She asked.
''Yes." I replied.
"You are an arse." She said and embraced me.
"Control your mouth." I said.She looked at me and rolled her eyes.
"Like I would listen to you." She replied.
"Don't you ever keep quiet?" I asked.She threw me a look and fell asleep soon.Thank god.
-
The first thing she did was head for the bed.
"This room is prettier.I want this room." She demanded.
"Whatever you want." I smiled.
She laid down and closed her eyes.Little girl must've been tired.
I went to the other room and laid down.I could finally sleep.
Then, my phone started buzzing.
"Blake?" Joseph said,"You told me to call you."
"Joseph.I will send money for your treatment and for your wife's treatment." I said.
"What?" He gasped.
"You don't need to pay be back but in return I want something." I said.
"What can I possibly give you?" He asked.
"Your daughter." I said.
"What?" He asked.
"I can't.She is everything we have." He cried.
"You know you can't pay me back within 4 months.Do you want me to kill all of you or are you willing to give me your daughter? Don't worry, It's only for 4 months.After that,I will tell her that you gave the money and I will let her go." I said.
"Okay but please keep her safe." He requested.
I hung up the call.
They won't even let me sleep.
Honestly, I have been thinking about this since a very long time.I wanted to get to know Desdemona.I don't know why I wanted to create memories with her.
I just wanted her to accompany me for the next 4 months after that she will be gone forever.
I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
"Blake?"
"Blake!"
"Blake,wake up."
"What?" I whispered and rubbed my eyes.
"It's midnight." She whispered.
"So?" I asked.
"The beach is looking beautiful.Let's go." She pulled my arm.
"It's midnight and what are you wearing?" I immediately turned around.
"It's a bikini.Nothing too special." She rolled her eyes.
"Go sleep.It's so late." I groaned.
"f**k it." She murmured to herself and walked away.
I sighed and sat up after a while.I walked to her room and she wasn't there.
I walked outside and saw her sitting on the sand.I walked to her and sat beside her.
She was hugging her knees and her head rested on her knees.She was wearing a tank top and shorts.
"It gets really boring." She whispered.
"I need someone."
"Who do you need?" I asked.
"I don't mean it that way?" She replied.
I understood what she meant.She wanted someone to fulfill her desires.
"You said I talk a lot.'' She looked at me.
"I like that." I said immediately.She smiled and looked at the horizon.
"I don't talk a lot.It's just that I haven't been this frank with someone." She said.
"People say that I have a bad mouth and I am unmannered."
"I know it's all true." She faked a laugh.
"I want you to be frank with me.You can tell me anything.I want you to be comfortable." I said and held her hands.Our fingers entangled as a flame sparked in our hearts.
"It's a beautiful night." She whispered and looked at the sky full of billions of stars.
Her head fell on my shoulder.
"Why are you so gloomy all the time?" She asked.
"I am not gloomy.I am just busy and frustrated over a whole business and underworld situations are infinite." He said.
"And then,I have to take care of a girl like you." I rolled my eyes.She laughed.She looked divine as the moonlight fell on her face.
"If you don't want to tell,I won't ask." She smiled.
"And I am not hard to control.I am just an independent woman.I don't like when people tell me what to do.I live on my own terms." She said.
"Did you work anywhere?" I asked.
"Yes,at a bar." She replied.
"That's a dangerous place for such a beautiful person like you to work." I said.
"You think I am beautiful?" She said.I smiled.
She leaned closer and looked at my lips.I covered her mouth immediately knowing what she wanted.
"Don't." I replied.
"Why?" She asked in a seductive tone.
"Don't ruin this for both of us." I said.
"Ruin?" She raised a brow.
"You don't want to do this." I said.
"Why wouldn't I? I am a daredevil,you can try me." She smirked and bit her lips.
"Do you want me to stop talking with you? Do you want to ruin the beautiful relationship we have?" I asked.
"We don't have any relation.You are my kidnapper and I am your victim." She whispered.
"Don't we have something?" I asked.I really wanted to know how she felt towards me.If she wanted me for lust then I will have to maintain distance with her but if she wanted more,then I might give it a try.
She shook her head and looked down.
Just as expected.She wanted me for lust.She craved for lust.
Edith POV
I didn't feel anything.He was the chase of everyone.He was handsome and I wanted to see his body.I wanted to see more and more.I desired for so many things but catching feelings.
It wasn't on my list.
I could clearly see the disappointment in his eyes.I thought he would be playing too but why wasn't he?
He had one night stands and partners to fulfill his desires then why does he not want me?
"I am really glad that you kidnapped me." I whispered.He didn't reply to me.
"You are a good person and you deserve the best things." I said.
"I don't know why you stay alone.I don't understand why you are so gloomy all the time but I want you to tell me everything." I said and wrapped my hands around his broad arms.
"I am not gloomy,I told you.I am just frustrated.Every person I've trusted has betrayed me.This is the reason why I have no one." He said.
"I was engaged...to a woman.She cheated on me with my younger brother.After that,I kicked my brother out of the house.I don't know where he is,how he lives.I don't even if he is alive or not." He said.
He 'was' engaged. Past tense. My eyes didn't deceive me the times I thought I saw him wearing a ring.Sometimes,he used to and other time not.He still hadn't moved on.
"What about the girl?" I asked.
"I don't know." He replied.
"What about the rest of your family?" I asked.
"My father died.My mother died. That's all." He said.
"How do you manage to stay so strong?" I asked.
"I just do because it doesn't matter to me anymore.I don't care about them.As for my parents,they didn't care for me either.My uncles tried to take my status away in the underworld but couldn't.I am still on the top and they are still trying to kill me." He said.
"You are so strong." I whispered.
"Look at me." I said and put my hand on his cheek.
"Don't ever forget that despite everything,when the sun sets,you are just a man who once cared for people.A person whose heart shines brighter than the sun.You should know that you are a good person.Your morning will come." I smiled.
He stared into my eyes for a good couple of minutes before leaning closer and rested his forehead on mine.
"Stay with me, don't leave." He said.
"I am with you 24/7 for the next four months." I smiled.
"You need to tell me everything that's bothering you.You can count on me." I said.
"I see a light in you.A light which you don't know exists." He said.
"Maybe you are the one turning it on." I smiled.He smiled back at me and laid on the sand.
I laid down on his arm and looked at him.
He was so handsome.Why did he choose me?
"God,I just realized something." I said.
"What?" He asked.
"That you are so lucky because I am your enemy's daughter and the person you kidnapped was me." I said.
"For the record, Joseph isn't my enemy." He said.I sniffed on his shirt.
"You smell good." I mumbled.
"You are so crazy." He laughed.
"Are you homosexual?" I asked.
"What the-No,I am not." He said.
"You behave like one." I smirked.
"What is your problem? Did you hit your head as a child?" He said.
"You are so cute." I laughed.
"Don't call me cute." He rolled his eyes.
"Okay Mr.Alaric.Would you like a hotshot boy for the night or a hot zaddy?" I asked.I rested my elbow on the ground and my head rested on my hand.I loved to irritate him.
"I am not homosexual." He gasped.
"Now don't be shy, Alaric. I am all down for the rainbow.
"Plus, you are so cute." I teased him and planted a kiss on his cheek.
"Don't kiss me." He said.
"Homosexual." I giggled.
"God,god fine.You can." He rolled his eyes again.
I laid my head on his chest and closed my eyes.
"You are the best, I've never enjoyed my life to this point." I said.
"I am glad that I am keeping you happy." He smiled.
I held him tightly.I didn't know why but I did.It felt warm and it felt different.
"We are swimming tomorrow." I whispered.
"Sure but don't wear that thing." He said.
"It's called a bikini,not 'that thing' and that's what people wear when they are at a beach." I said.
"Let's go to the house.I am really sleepy." He said.We both stood up and walked towards the house.It was located in the middle of the sand.This was the best place in the world.
Walking into the house,our fingers separated and we both walked in opposite directions.
"Good night." He said,which resulted me to turn around.
"Good night,Blake." I smiled and went back to my room.
