Mayra

I was burning on fire by the time he retrieves his hands from my waist and dusts off his knees. I did not anticipated that. Why the fuck won't my stomach stop summer salting.

I whirled around enough to cover my face and pat cheeks to suppress the blushes adorning my face. He chuckles while standing up watching me up to down "What.. was that" I was lost on words and all the way more when he licks off my blood from his lips.

"You can have a bloodlust and I can't?" he mocks me showing off those crescent marks I gave him minutes ago.

He walks away with such normalcy as if nothing actually happened, a devil's smile indeed plastered on his face. I hastily straightened my t-shirt before following after him.

He walked a step ahead of me and I was more than glad to face his back for once. The scene finally stopped playing on the loop inside my head and I chewed on the inside of my cheeks.

"I didn't see your girlfriend today?" a careful question. I eyed his side profile for any reaction but none could be seen.

"Don't tell me you're missing her" he laughs it off and I yelp as an uneven ground under my foot makes me lose my balance. His hand already shot out to hold mine.

Just as I regained balance on my footing I released his hand. And it felt so wrong to not be able to hold them for than a second.

"And she's not my girlfriend" he adds giving me a once over look before slightly increasing his pace. The damn jerk won't lose at any cost. But I have to distract him! what is his problem!

"Well. you are" huh? his words settle a moment later and I go red instantly "I-I'm not you girlfriend" my words came out hesitant as I reminded myself to exhale.

How does it feel like to be Aarav's girlfriend? I don't want to find out. Sure?

"I remember you said something last night about when two people kiss they..." he was teasing me but I cut him off immediately "Okay. Stop" I say before stomping past him. The red isn't going at all and his words are working like a fuel to it.

I was sent here to seduce him but it turns out no one can live up to the level of flirting Aarav does and effortlessly.

"Wrong direction" his voice rings in my ear as I stop dead in my path I twirl around swiftly to witness his one of the rare soft laughs. For a moment everything stops functioning, the trees are wriggling in point five x speed and so is the wind softly ruffling my hairs.

I blink away my stupid gawking expression and there was a hint of smirk on his face which means the gorilla actually saw me gawking at him.

I stomp away in the direction he signaled trying to distract myself of his presence behind me. I can feel his gaze all over me from behind. There's something so intimate about the way he watches me or anybody that would make them doubt their very existence.

I sucked my lips just as I realized we're already on the peak of the hill. I just have to be quick and plant my teams flag on the edge of it. I felt the cloth of my flag bunched in my pocket.

Not glancing behind me I made to sprint towards the edge but a solid frame crashes into me from behind. One moment I was leaping for the edge and the other I am pinned against a hard trunk. The wood scraping my back.

"You are smart" he whispers the word against my skin making me squeeze my eyes shut. I can suddenly feel my surrounding much clearer. His breath fanned my cheeks which says he's not moving away from me any sooner. He pinned both my hands down and any attempt to shove him away gone down too.

I muster some courage before opening my eyes, he was so close. so close. so close.

Talk Mayra. Say something.

My words died in my throat the second he closed in on my neck. The tip of his nose grazing the skin where my throat meets my shoulder. I sealed my lips tight in the terror of releasing something that would make this situation worse.

I felt his lips placing soft kisses on my collar bone as he sniffs them so hard "Fucking lavenders" his words somehow made my eyes shine with pride.

I'm not suppose to be doing this. Not with my sister's brother-in-law. It should not be him who brings so much peace and pleasure. Since when have I become so twisted?

My breath turned harsher as his eyes found mine again and he licked his lips while leaning his forehead against mine "I'll let you know what I want after this" and with that he plants a kiss on my forehead then swiftly peeled away his body from mine.

My jaw hung so low it could practically fall to the ground just as I realized what this damn traitor did to me.

He used that moment to distract me completely as he bound me with the tree by his belt and I can't even use my hands to unbuckle myself. "Asshole!" I screamed at his face only to earn a mocking grin in return.

He trails off to the edge and brings out his purple flag wrapping it around a long wooden stick and then he plants it on the edge.

I was fuming with anger by the time he was done clicking the victory photo and sharing it on his mutual group.

I can see him grinning on his phone and I wriggle so hard in my position to loosen the belts grip when his attention snags back on me.

"Yo bunny" I turn my head to glare at him when a click sounded and I blinked dumbfounded. He took my photo?

"Release me cheater!" I throw at him with all my annoyance.

"Cheater? should I remind you who was initially cooking ideas to distract me?" he bents slightly to match my eye level.

"I did distract you" I say pulling an equal evil smile but the raging inside me wasn't quite leaving. "You never stopped" he mumbles before snapping the buckle open.

As my body was set free I rubbed my wrist not wanting to look at him or that damn flag. He. is. a cheater. No matter what.

But what did he mean by you never stopped?
