“No! No! Don’t touch me!” I squirmed and screamed.
The man's grip was strong and rough, but I wasn't going to let him take control. I screamed and kicked, trying to get him off me. He just laughed and tightened his hold.
"You won't get away with this!" I yelled, fighting even harder.
That's when the woman joined in, grabbing my arms and trying to hold me down. I thrashed and writhed, but they were too strong.
"Let go of me!" I shouted, trying to wriggle out of the man's grip. Despite my efforts, they were still strong enough to keep me in place.
Just as the man pulled out a knife, there was a loud crash. The window shattered and a figure flew into the room. The man immediately turns his attention to the new arrival, brandishing his knife threateningly.
With a start, I saw the familiar masked figure of Kael. A wave of relief washed over me as I realized he had come to save me.
Kael didn't waste any time in answering the man's question. He lunged forward with lightning speed that was followed by a sudden, sickening crack. The man's body went limp, and he crumpled to the floor, his neck clearly broken.
The woman made a final attempt to defend herself, but the Kael easily overpowered her as well. And then, just as quickly as it started, the fight was over. The Kael turns to me, his eyes locking onto mine.
"Are you okay?" Kael asked and effortlessly snapped the ropes that had previously bound my hands.
I simply nodded, unable to speak as tears streamed down my face.
Just then, Charlie arrived on the scene. "Thank god you're okay," he breathed, relief clear in his voice. "I couldn't reach you, so I called Levie and he gave me the address."
With a tender grip, Kael lifted me into his arms and carried me outside of the manor and towards his car. Charlie followed closely behind, a look of concern etched on his face.
"Charlie, I need you to drive her car back," Kael instructed, placing me gently in the passenger seat of his own car.
Charlie nodded, understanding the urgency of the situation. "Got it. I’ll meet you guys back at the house," he said, quickly making his way towards my car.
Kael climbed into the driver's seat, starting the engine with a roar. "Hold on tight," he said, giving me a reassuring smile. "We're getting out of here."
I turned to him after I buckled his seat belt and said, “Thank you, Kael.”
He pulled out of the driveway and drove, focused and in control as always. We were both silent. However, fifteen minutes before we arrived at my house, he suddenly veered off the road and into an empty lot surrounded by trees. The car came to a stop and he turned to look at me, his eyes was dark and intense.
“Why have we stopped, Kael?” I asked.
“Because it’s time.” He had turned off the car.
"What do you mean?" I asked inquired, looking around, while Kael unhooked himself from his seatbelt. Without a word, he reached across the seat for me, and dragged my face towards his for a brutal kiss, swallowing my gasp of surprise.
His mouth was so hot, so hard, and so demanding, that I had no choice but to surrender into it.
He reached out to free me from the seatbelt, eager to get as close to me. When the belt finally clicked free and released me from its confines, he lifted me and planted me on his lap.
"I want you now," Kael moaned, his eyes nearly blazing from lust. He kissed me hard and my body shook.
Breaking the kiss again, he untangled me from his lap, where his prominent erection stood at attention through his jeans. He motioned for me to moved to the backseat of the car and told me, “Remove your jeans and your shirt or I’ll tear them off you. I want you ready for me.”
Swallowing a lump in my throat, I did what I was told. Suddenly, I was feeling chilly as I was stark naked.
Kael smirked as he climbed into the backseat, his eyes stalking me hungrily. “Lie down and spread your legs for me.”
Nervously, I laid myself down across the seat and spread her legs for him. For a moment, he sat back and just stared at me. His eyes traveled up and down my body, until it at last reached my center.
“Kael, the necklace, is it—ah!" I cried, trying not to scream out in delight and surprise as Kael took that precise moment to dip his head between my legs and suck my clit into his mouth. "Oh, Kael!"
His tongue licked the inside of my folds, occasionally flicking his tongue against my clit again.
I let out cries of pleasure as I drew closer, ever agonizingly closer to the edge.
"I love how you scream for me, Pet, " Kael growled in a husky tone, before swiping his tongue against my clit again while moving a hand down to his pants to cup himself in anticipation.
With his free hand, he slipped a finger inside me and started to move it in and out slowly, grinning in approval as I whined and mewed, arching and squealing in delight at his actions.
"Kael, please! I can't take it anymore, please!” I screamed, not really sure what I was asking.
Kael, however, was well aware of the situation, as demonstrated by the fact that he unzipped his pants and pushed them down to his knees, grabbed my thighs, adjusted them to his satisfaction, positioned himself, and then pushed himself inside of me.
He moved within me, slowly at first, then quickly as I became tighter and tighter around him. As he slid in and out of me ruthlessly in the car, my fists dug into his shoulders, my body arched against his, and I groaned, cried, screamed, and wailed in his ear.
Soon, Kael's hips were pumping faster and faster, and he was bursting inside of me, sinking his possessive teeth into my shoulder to muffle his moan.
As his breathing came to normal, he lifted himself above me and reached down to feel my moist and throbbing center, where he played with my sensitive clit while still moving into me.
“Kael, I’m…I’m…”
“Come, Pet. Come for me.” He felt a surge of primitive satisfaction as my breath hitched, my eyes closed in bliss, my back arched, and I came all around his c**k.
A few moments passed in silence between us as we tried to catch out breaths.
Then, I made the mistake of trying to have a conversation with him. “Kael, did you-”
“Yes, I only came and rescued you because you can’t die on me. And I had to fu*k you today. If that’s what you’re trying to ask,” his voice cold and detached.
My heart sank and a wave of emotions washed over me, making my eyes well up with tears. The thought of all my feelings being unrequited was more than I could bear. I felt embarrassed and foolish for thinking that there could have been more between us.
Without saying anything to each other, we put on our clothes. Kael started the engine and the car lurched forward. He cast a hesitant glance in my direction, seeming unsure of how to comfort me.
The drive to my house was filled with silence, save for the quiet sobs escaping me. Kael remained silent, seeming at a loss for words. When we finally arrived at my home, he parked the car and let out a deep sigh.
As soon as we walked in, Charlie was there waiting for us. "What happened?" he asked, noticing the distress on my face and the redness around my eyes.
Kael just shrugged, clearly uncomfortable with the situation. "I don't know."
Charlie's eyebrows furrowed as he took in the situation. "Let's sit down and talk about it," he said gently, guiding us to the couch.
"Do you want something to drink?" Charlie asked kindly, sensing my discomfort. I shook my head, still struggling to compose myself.
"I have to go," Kael repeated, his voice firm.
"Hold on a minute," Charlie interjected. "Don't you think we should talk about what just happened? Those people who took my sister, who were they?"
"It's not important," Kael said dismissively. "They're dead now."
"But what if they were working for someone else? What if Dahlia is still in danger?" Charlie's voice rose in concern as he looked towards me. "Is that why you're crying? Are you scared?"
"She's safe now," Kael retorted, growing increasingly impatient. "I saved her."
"She doesn't know you, I don't know you," Charlie repeated, a note of unease creeping into his voice. "Why don't you take off your mask and reveal yourself? Maybe it'll ease Dahlia's worries and I'd like to see the face of the person who saved my sister." He leaned forward, the look in his eyes indicating he wouldn't back down until he got his answer.
I could feel the tension in the room growing as Charlie spoke, his words seemingly striking a nerve in Kael.
Kael's eyes narrowed and he didn't respond for a moment, causing the silence to stretch on.
Just when I thought the situation was about to escalate, Kael suddenly spoke up. "Fine."
To my shock, he agreed to remove his mask. What did he look like underneath? My heart was pounding in my chest as I waited for Kael to reveal himself, wondering what secrets he was hiding behind that mask.
