Biggs POV."What?" exclaims King Cyrus. "You can't be serious, Luscious!"
I now notice that the ruthless King is lying flat on his back directly beside me for just a second before he's back on his two feet.
"I'm dead ass," Luscious responds smoothly.
"Are you okay, Biggs?" asks Ruq, finally free and rushing toward me. He then proceeds to help me up but is roughly cast aside before he can reach me.
"Are you deaf dog," Luscious growls viciously," I said no one is to lay a single finger on her but me! She is mine," he declares. The threat in his voice is evident. He means what he stated word for word.
"Since fucking when?!" King Cyrus demands to know with a growl but Luscious doesn't respond. Instead, he places his undivided attention on me, now hovering over top of what now seems to be a tiny frame in comparison to my own. From this view, he's so tall and handsome as fuck. He's dripping with magnetism and dressed to impress wearing a overpriced designer wool tux. Our eyes lock and the world around us fades away, causing my heightened senses to go humane.
What a fucking big mistake! One look at him is all it takes.
I can no longer hear from afar and my enhanced eyesight seems to evaporate. I'm lost. Right here and right now, he is all that I can see.
How can someone so evil be so heavenly handsome?
How can my mortal enemy make me feel so safe?
Why do the gods have to be so cruel? Why does this filthy fanger hold this strange and foreign power over me? This is wrong, so unjust.
I hate him and myself for not hating him.
Luscious lends me his hand, but I refuse to take it. Finally managing to look away, I pull myself up off the ground, dust myself off, and then take a much-needed breath that I didn't even realize was needed.
By the time, I pull myself together and place my focus back on him. My heart is pounding so hard in my chest that I wonder if it will eventually explode. Luscious eyes are also locked on me and everyone else is just staring now watching us, watching each other. It is all, so very draining and such a weird encounter.
"Interesting as fuck," King Cyrus smirks with a newfound realization swirling in his golden irises.
That's all it takes for Luscious Coffee Eyes to burn fire but the song I Wish You Were Here by the legendary Avril Lavigne blasting stops him in his tracks.
This time, all eyes go to King Cyrus while he pulls his phone out of his pocket and says, "Sunshine!"
"Don't sunshine me!" My sensitive ears lock onto an angelic voice from the other end of the device. "Someone wants to grovel again? You were supposed to call me as soon as you landed. Rule number two point six."
From the left of me, Ruq burst out laughing.
"Is that Ruq laughing?" I hear another voice ask, I think.
"I bet he wouldn't be laughing if I told everybody the real reason why you're in the Southern Kingdom?"
"What are you talking about, Celine?" Ruq almost growls, now trying to get the phone from King Cyrus who pushes him off with ease.
Then he acts like no one else exists while walking away, pleading for forgiveness with his brother-in-law following closely behind him, leaving me all by myself with him. The devil.
"Alone at last!" His deep velvety voice forces my heart to skip several beats. "You miss me?" he asks and I laugh out loud in his face.
"You fucking wish! Why am I here, Luscious?" I get straight to the point. I'm tired of the games. He wanted me and now I'm here. I much rather get this shit over with. In actuality, I much rather not be here at all.
