Protecting Genie

Chapter 11

Genie's POV

Being scared gives him power, no wonder he's so strong right now.

Oh please I'm not scared; no, I'm downright terrified. So terrified that my whole body is shaking.

Being pinned down to the ground by some black sand while being stared at by a bipolar immortal is enough to turn any brave soul into a scaredy cat.

My pitiful attempt to look intimidating failed right off the bat. He was doing a better job at it. It was at this time I wished one of the Guardians was around to help me. I had no idea how much I really needed those guys until now.

I eventually just opted to close my eyes, and waited for whatever was to happen next. The way his hand was moving, I was expecting it to grab my breast; I mentally prepared myself for it. And I made myself promise that I wouldn't give him any sign of shock or enjoyment with whatever he would do.

A few seconds passed and there was no boob groping; instead, his hand passed over my breast and came to rest on my cheek.

Now that I wasn't expecting.

I opened my eyes to see that his face has switched from furious to...is that sad? I didn't know this guy could do sad. With the way he acted, I figured he only had the emotions 'furious' and 'cranky' mixed with 'angry'.

"You know the one thing I've longed for all these years of being alone?" His hand left my cheek and went to my hair; he grabbed a few strands of hair and would let them slowly fall from his fingers.

"Are you asking me to guess or are you going to tell me?"

"I never thought that an adult, let alone a woman, would be able to see me." I guess that was his answer. Although it wasn't a clear one. "There has to be a reason I found you."

"Technically, you didn't find me. You came to finish off my little brother and I just happened to be there."

"We are both lonely souls that want somebody by our sides."

"At the moment, I'm perfectly content with my relationship status of single."

"Your mind says differently." Crap, I forgot; the jerk can see into my subconscious. "I will give you anything that your heart desires." If this wasn't creepy then, it's creepy now.

"It's official: you are crazy. Now, if you would be so kind as to LET ME GO!" I've had enough of this. I need to wake myself up. I started to thrash my legs and arms around, hoping that the sand would just fall off then I'd make an escape. Not really anywhere to run but it was better than being here.

"I'll make you a deal." His hand left my hair to return to his side, his tone changing.

"Not interested. Damn sand." I shouted to him but mumbled that last part to myself.

"Let me make love to you and..."

"Excuse me?! Care to repeat that? No, let me save you the time. Like hell I will. Just make the sand disappear then I'll be on my merry way." I wasn't about to listen to any of his crap.

"I'll leave you alone for three days." Did I just hear that right? I stopped my thrashing around and gave him a questioning look

"Say what?"

"You let me give you a night of unimaginable passion and I'll leave you alone for the next 3 days and nights. I won't look for you; I won't come into your dreams or manipulate them. You'll get three days of peaceful sleep."

"Is this a joke?"

"I don't like to joke."

"Could have fooled me."
