Shadow and Bone - One shots!

Prt 2. General Kirgan - Caught Love

For the next couple of days, as I stayed at Little Palace, he allowed me to roam the halls and the grisha train. We spent most of our time together, mostly in silence or quietly talking to each other. None of the guards of grisha who were put to attend to me– didn't speak to me most of the time unless I initiated the conversation. Though General Kirigan mostly tended to me and only sent others to my room when he wasn't able to do it himself.

As the days progressed, he became softer and treated nicer. He would ask me about my life in Fjerda and what it was like. I asked him about his life and what it was like. We became closer and he'd stay late in my room to talk to me. I'd roam around Little Palace while everyone was asleep to enjoy the beautiful architecture. One General Kirigan caught me roaming the halls and walked beside me in silence as I admired.

"Do you always sneak around when I'm not watching you?" He softly said. I shrugged and looked up at him.

"I enjoy being alone," I responded we went back into the comfortable silence we were in before. "Were you stalking me? Is that how you knew how was out here?"

"I know everything that runs here, I have ears everywhere." He chuckled to himself and I rolled my eyes.

"I'll go sleep then." I turn around and he's quick to follow. "You plan to sleep in my room?"

"If you're willing to share." He said to me, making his voice deep and seductive. I blush but look away from him and quicken my pace to my bedroom.

As we got to my bedroom door, I slowly opened it to not wake others nearby and he followed behind me. I looked at him as he sat on my bed, I felt his eyes travel over. I quickly cleared my throat.

"Mind if I change?" I asked and he shook his head.

"Take your time." General Kirigan softly said. I walked over to my dresser, grabbed out my pajamas, and walked to the bathroom.

I took my time getting dressed, nervous to see him again. He was getting more forward as we got closer since I broke it. He seemed to ignore my past and saw me for me. It drove me insane with anxiety about what his next move was. I walked out of the bathroom and sit on my bed, I felt his eyes on me again.

"Lovely as always." He muttered.

"Your words don't woe me." I playfully said, looking at him. A small smirk danced on his lips and he moved on the bed closer to me.

"Not even a little flutter of your heart?" He said back, making me laugh and gently push him. General Kirigan wrapped his arm around my waist. I tried to pry his hands off as I kept laughing.

"Unhand me, witch!" I shouted in a whisper to not wake anyone but he picked me up by my waist and set me on the bed on my back. My laughter ceased when I saw him on top of me, holding my waits to pin me to the bed.

"Oh, you're quiet now?" He said, his voice filled with lust and calling my attention.

I felt heat rush to my face as I stared up at him. All words left my mouth but my mind ran wild. How I felt his body head emanating off of him and how I noticed his eyes tail my face. My breathing became heavy then he moved off of me. I sat up and cleared my throat.

"My.. apologies." He said in a whisper while ignoring eye contact. I moved closer to him and gently kissed his cheek, pulling away and he finally looked into my eyes. They were a beautiful dark chocolate, that glowed in attraction and were fully focused on my lips.

"I uh." I stammered as I stared at him. "I want to kiss you, though you are drüsje," I chuckled to lighten the situation. But my laughter died down when he didn't laugh back so I stayed quiet and waited for his response.

He slowly moved a hand up to my face, push a hair that was in my face, and put it behind my cheek. General Kirigan softly kissed my forehead and smiled at me. Then planted his lips on mine, the kiss was passionate but possessive. He wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me closer then said in a seductive tone.

                                                                 "I've needed your kiss."
