Playing for Keeps[Kingx#1] [COMPLETED]

Chapter 6

Ellie slowly walked down the street, the lights getting dimmer as she walked away the already dull lights of the club. Suddenly, she was shoved against the wall. She yelped.

"A-" Her voice was muffled by a huge hand covering her mouth. Her heart leaped in fear.

I'm dying!

She struggled, but it was useless. The man pinning her was too strong. Then, his scent surrounds her. He smelled surprisingly nice, all male and musky. I must've hit my head too hard...that's it! I'm crazy! The man's smell actually calmed her a little. He took his hand off of her mouth and placed it on the wall beside her head. She had to crane her neck way up to look at him.

But when she looked up, it was impossible to see his face as his huge figure blocked the already dimmed lights from illuminating his face. He was very tall, probably over 6'4; the top of her head didn't even reach his shoulders!

She could only make out his body structure. She studied him. Then, gasped loudly in recognition. Beast! How- why- she was confused. Excitement flows through her and her heart was pounding at his closeness and the fact they were alone.

She wished he'd lean closer so the light would hit the side of his face, so she could see him.

''What are you doing here" His voice was low and gruff that makes her feel warm. What'd he asked again? Oh yeah. Why she's here.

''The club?" She asked shyly and he nods. It would be awkward to tell him that her friends took her to see him. The new fighter. Then, she remembered one thing.

''I shouldn't talk to strangers" Really? She groaned internally. Then, he growls at her! She jumped. It's weird when someone growls, right? But she was surprised to find she found it damn sexy.

Lord! What is she thinking? She gets in close proximity to one hot guy and suddenly she turns into a shameless, wanton woman! She could tell he was getting impatient.

''My friends bought me along with them.''

''It isn't a place for a girl like you.''

A girl like her? She didn't know if she was supposed to be insulted or not. She knew she wasn't hot or sexy like her friends or the girls in there, the type of girls she bet he prefers. Great. The first guy she ever felt attracted to so instantly doesn't like her. To her amazement, her heart sank a little. Again, she didn't know why.

She bit her lower lip and looked down, disappointed. She heard him groan. Long, big, warm fingers touched her chin softly, making her inhale sharply through her nose as she felt a jolt of some type of electricity run through her at his touch. Her eyes grew wide. He froze as if he feelt it too.

Then, he held her chin, pulling out her lower lip and caressing it softly with his thumb. She sucked in a breath and her breath hitched in her throat. The air thickens heavily around them. He moves closer, tracing his knuckles down her cheeks. He mummers a single word that she doesn't hear. She was about to ask him to repeat it, but she remembered what's happening.

This is so wrong. He maybe a popular fighter, but that doesn't change the fact he is still a complete stranger to her. He was a big, dangerous man and he could easily hurt her. She mustered up all of her courage.

''Mo-move" she stammered.

He tilts his head confused, it's like he's never been told off or refused before. She bet on all her friends (stuffed animals) that it was true.

''You're a stranger'' She remembered, he growled! He could either be a vampire or a wolf! His beauty, his strength and she had only seen him at night. She voiced her thought

"You could be a va-vampire or a wolf for all I know and you could easily kill me" She had read lots of sci-fi books and the things for the main character didn't go too well. Those romance parts were highly unlikely for her, so she should prepare for the worst.

She knew she guessed right as he froze at the spot.

''A vampire'' he grumbled, his voice held a weird emotion she did not understand. He leaned down to her little neck. At this she shivered involuntarily and closed her eyes tight as she felt his breath fan her neck.

Suddenly, a warm, wet tongue licked the length of her neck! She whimpered, her stomach clenched and her toes curled. He growled lowly.

''Please, don't kill me..I-I won't tell anyone. I can keep a secret. Promise.'' She rambled on.

Then, she hears a deep, beautiful laugh escape his lips; his chest vibrated with laughter as he leans his forehead against her shoulder.

''F***, Ella. You still believe in that sh*t?''

Her eyes were now wide as saucers. He knew her name! It worried her deeply. Who is he? How does he know her name? Wait! He called her Ella! Then only person who called her Ella...

The mysterious man suddenly moved his face in front of hers. She could now see his facial features, his eyes. Those eyes! No! No! It couldn't be.

''You are such a baby.'' he grumbled.

Ellie sucked in a huge breath.

Archer.

The boy with eyes almost the color red, they are amber with lots of brown in them. The same eyes that haunts her dreams. He may have changed physically, but she could never miss him those unique eyes. The blood drains from her face.

''No. No. It couldn't be.''

Archer backed away, sensing her fear. Lurking back in the shadows. He chuckled darkly.

''Run Ella'' He teased her. Probably due to the fact that she accused him of being a supernatural being!

He didn't have to tell her twice. She did ran though.

The last thing he heard was

''See you...''
