In A Heartbeat

Chapter 7

Kane

I cannot believe I did that. I didn't want to get into anything sexual with Ezra. I care about her a lot and she's the first woman I don't view as a sexual object. Her presence is everything to me. But I can't help but crave her it's been two days since and I'm trying my hardest not to hover over her. I limited calling her because I don't want her to think that now I just want her goods and that's it. Seeing her vulnerable like that unleashed something in me , I loved seeing her weak and call my name and beg for me to wait for her to catch her breath. Her eyes when she looked at me made me melt. I wanted  so bad to take the one thing that makes her innocent considering the fact I know she isn't some innocent girl . She's a 23 year old trouble magnet. One thing I know about Ezra is that she's done some bad things in her past, which I don't judge her for but I know people are going to come for her. Little does she know that the man she killed has people and they were able to find her through a hidden camera.  I fear for her but I will do anything for her. Back to the topic at hand,  I cannot believe what I did the other night. I love the feeling of her soft skin , the way her body curves and her lips ... God her lips were so soft. Both sets. Equally delicious. I found myself touching my lips and looked up at myself in the mirror after a shower. Is this who I'm becoming? A man weak for a single woman as dangerous as Ezra? I'm no where near innocent. I'm a devil compared to her but I would never let her see that side of me.

I took several pictures of Ezra that night , I used those to my advantage and when I finished my business I washed my hands and proceeded to go workout to freshen my mind and check out a few things. For Ezra.

Ezra

I hid my face in my pillow as my face heats up in shock that I let myself get vulnerable around Kane!! Kane the demon. He is everything I fear , a mystery, a man with a past and sexual abilities only demons would have. We slept so soundly that night.  There was a point where I woke up and I watched him sleep, he is so beautiful. His lashes were long, men are always blessed in this department. I eyed his body and how sculpted his body was , I watched his chest rise and fall , my eyes trailed down his body where I can see a trail of dark hair . I wanted to reach my hand down and take a peek but I abruptly turn around because my intrusive thoughts would win if I let my eyes linger upon his body any longer. Once I turned he moved and his arm wrapped around me and nuzzled his head into my hair.

Soon as I got up and showered , I put my hair in a ponytail and went out to the back and decided to do some planting today. I took a deep breath and thanked God for the opportunity to live in a place like this and be able to have a backyard big enough to have a garden. Truly if God did not love me I would not have the things I have today. I checked my phone and there were no missed calls or texts from Kane. He's been distant from that night. I couldn't help but feel a little hurt. Nonetheless, I decided I would let him have his space. I always knew men would leave you stranded after having a little taste of you. No pun intended.

The weather outside was absolutely beautiful , but I still plan on leaving for a trip to Greece. I deserve to see Santorini. I got the supplies I needed and headed out back. I love roses and tulips so that is what I planned to plant today. An hour later I get a call , I stood up and rubbed my hands on my overalls and reached for my phone inside my pockets. To my surprise it was Hermes.

" Hey Hermès" I say. I rest my hand on my hip admiring the work I've done so far.

" uh-hey , are you alone?" He asks me. I raise an eyebrow to his awkwardness.

" Yeah I am, why? Everything okay?" I ask.

" Yeah, can I come over ? If that's okay with you" he says in a mellow tone. I couldn't really read what this tone was considering I barely know him and he has been on the awkward/weird side of things.
