Evident

33.

Aureliano

I kept my eyes through the reflective surface, it went from the floor to the ceiling. Both of my hands were pressed flat on the cold glass of the office as I watched the door of Amerio's hut.

My jaw rocked as I hoped inwardly that Concenta would stay in for the night and not go out to that fucker. I had nothing towards the man that I put in charge over the warriors, we actually are great friends but there's one thing that I don't like and that is how he has been looking at my woman as if she was his.

The way he held her on that night, each of their dance move, the laughter...I nearly tore the ground apart just so that I could kill him.

It was impulsive instinct, the primary hunger deep within myself wanted her by my side and not with another.

Mato saw right through me and his glare was the only reason why I didn't follow through.

Just my luck, a droplet of rain slap on the surface, I felt contented as I eased back, knowing that it would be impossible for her to go out now into the fast rushes of the rainfall.

"Aureliano..." She press both of her hands on the wide length of my back. I tense as her breath trailed my skin, her breast touching me.

"I would have never thought you'd be this quiet with me. I thought you like me?"

I glanced over my shoulder. "You thought wrong Bly."

My eyes formed into a slit as I notice her lack of clothing. Bly was a very beautiful woman no doubt about that, she had a pair of dark brown eyes with a small structured nose that was turn down at the tip, straight brown hair that fell over her shoulders and covered her breast. She was slim in structure with a nice bronze skin tone, she was indeed beautiful but had a personality that was a huge turn off.

She was spoiled and wanted to do things her way, it cannot work like that because I was a no nonsense person.

"Ahhh, I guess your lack of response means that you are appreciative of my seduction?"

Bly smiled up at me as I turn towards her, she had a hand on my arms, squeezing the bulge of my tatted biceps.

This wasn't her first try at seducing me and I knew it wouldn't be her last. Poking my cheek with my tongue, I took her hands off of me softly and walked over to my desk to finished up on some paper work I was doing earlier.

She came up behind me.

"I think you're trying a bit too hard Bly, I told you I'm already in love with someone else, my loyalty is with her. This marriage is strictly business...."

She grab my arm and in frustration, I grip her jaw tightly and spoke with an edge of coldness that had her shrinking. "I will fuck you up if you hinder me from getting involve with the woman of my dreams."

"She doesn't even love you." She gritted and I drew my hands from her jaw in anger. She stumbled backwards and I flick the blunt out from my ear, walking back over to the window as I kept my eyes on the hut she was in.

The papers on my desk, now unimportant as I made her my priority.

The golden lights from the hut's windows she was staying in, blurred with the sliding droplets of the rain on the glass. I missed her. Each exhale of smoke, outlined a fog of our passed memories together. I brush my thumb through the mist, wishing I was tracing the line of her lips with it.

Bly began laughing. "You're pathetic, I have seen the way she has been looking at that commander, what makes you think she'll want to be with someone who has no way out of this marriage. Take this as a warning Aurelo, she will leave the moment we tie the knot of our lovely wedding."

"I'm advising you to leave Bly before I do something that I will not regret."

My father, Achille Aveni and I had never had a great relationship but one thing I respect him for was his self control. I have never heard my parents disagreements, never saw them physically fighting.

He was never an abuser.

A man who hits a woman is considered weak.... He had told me this when I was smaller, so before I lift my hand and hurt a woman based on anger, I'd rather walk away.

She scoffed and I was glad she listened as I heard the slammed of the door, the silence my company as I medz along my high.

"We can't be together..." Each consistent droplets on the window, reminded me of her tears tonight.

A bright flash of lightening, flickers through the dark skies then as I folded my arms across my chest.

It wound me.

I hated how her eyes squinted, the tears welling up in pain, the reality of our situation tied its strings around us, playing us like we were its puppet.

I needed her.

The blunt became tasteless then and I drop it to the ground, twisting my boot to out the burn.

I needed to kiss her slowly, hear her laugh, trailed the very length of her face and burn our gaze together.

No matter how hard this situation is, it will not stop me from getting her.

The thunder rumbles out as determination pumps my blood.

I will show her the length of my need for her. I was grateful for everything that Mato had done for me but she, her was worth the trouble.

Worth the little bit of danger.

My curiosity seek to devour her and who am I to stop it....

All I needed to do was set flames to its dark exotic need and ruin her for every other man.
