The world unseen

chapter 16 burning love

Alex's pov

"You dont owe me anything" I say.

"Thats not it Alexandra," he said using my full first name.

"Alex" I remind him. I don't like using my full name. I was was named after my father and ever since he passed I've just been going my Alex. It was easy for Nova as that's what she's always called me.

"Alex" he repeats. "I'm really ok with it. And I can understand why you have your feelings for me. We are going to be working close together, and I'll alwaus be there for you. And it's not like its some forbidden thing." He said kissing the top of my head.

"Its not?" I asked. I full on expected it to be. In most romantic novels the queens servant was never allowed to be in love woth her or else he would be punished. But I guess that's not the case in my reality, huh?

"No" he said with a chuckle and a smile. "Its actually quite common. And it ensures that the next generation will have magic in their blood."

"Wha- next gen-generation?" I get flustered at the thought of having children with him. But maybe it wouldn't be so bad. Ah! Bad thoughts! You've barley known him for more than a month!

"Yes, several of your cousins and second cousins have dragons and other magical creatures as their spouses. They prefer them rather than non magical beasts like humans" he said. "Humans dilute the magic in the blood line. Why do you think you cousin Jaku has a difficulty preforming magic?"

"I didn't think he did" I said slowly. So Jaku is diluted? Well that's probably why he does more research than magic.

"Whats the most powerful combination?" I ask.

"Why? Wanting to replace me if I'm not it?" He asked sounding a bit defensive

"What no! Of course not!... im just curious" I say a bit flustered.

He sighs and takes a seat across from me. "Honestly anything mixed with the Angels. Or demons. But it's rare. they don't like anything and they definitely don't leave their little hell hole"

"Wow, so demons exist? And angels exist too?" I ask curiously.

"Yeah but they aren't like how they are cracked up to be. And majority of them hate people even more than demons do." He cracked his knuckles. "I have no clue where the humans got the idea that Angels cared about them."

"Uh yeah that is very different from what we've been told our whole lives" I say quietly as though thinking over my entire life and childhood.

Weston puts out a hand and strokes my hair. It's wavy at the top as it morphs into curls. The small smile on his face makes me feel bad for doubting him. I guess he really does care for me.

I lean into his hand, it's warm. I close my eyes and take a deep and slow breath. I look back up at him to see his eyes. Their gleaming with affection and mischief.

He's too cute. I lean in and kiss him. Completely forgetting everything I said just a few moments ago. He pulls me into him

I wrap my arms around his neck. I feel his go around my waist, closing in whatever space was left between us. I  break the kiss and start kissing his neck. He definitely wasn't expecting that due to the soft sound he made when I did.

"Alex" he said softly. Shit, oh he got aroused by that didn't he. I blush and pull away.

"S-sorry, Weston" I say looking off to the side.

"Dont.." he paused. "Don't apologize" he said breathlessly. I can feel his yearning for me. Should I just give in to the lust that we feel for each other? I know we both feel it. But we haven't known each other that long only a couple of weeks.

But that pleasant burning feeling every time his skin touches mine. The soft feel of his lips, his scent. I want him. I really do, but it just doesn't feel right. It feels rushed.

My hear beats a fast rhythm as I try to decide what I want. Ugh, I really want to give in. He leans his head onto my shoulder his breathing feels heavy. I could tell he's keeping himself back.

"Then marry me" I tell him. "If we do this then marry me" I say a little rushed. I grew up conservative and I know that even though it's the 21st century I can't bring myself to do something so bold without being married. It's just how I was raised. But if we are engaged maybe I can bend the rules.

He looks up at me. His normally cold red eyes look wide and puppy-like. "Of course!"

"I had already planned to, well to propose anyway" he said a little sheepishly which was very unlike him. His grip around my waist tightened

He stood up and picked me up. Just from natural instinct I wrap my legs around his waist so I don't slip. His warm hand caresses my back.

Since he picked me up. My head is now above his so I lean down and kiss him. My hands playing in his hair that went slightly past his chin. I close my eyes as our tongues meet. He takes the few steps needed to get to my bedroom. Where gently tosses me onto the bed. I land there with a gasp.

He pulls off the brown long sleeve t-shirt I gave him and sets it on the desk chair. The lights where off in my room but the natural sunlight shine on his dark skin giving off a glowing look. He crawls onto the bed hovering over me.

I pull him down, my breathing getting heavier. I kiss him and press my body against him. He puts his warm hand under my shirt onto my belly. My skin began to tingle at the touch.
