2030...
(Veronica's pov)
It's been a month now since the game started hauting us, and sadly, we've lost lily, she was dared to cut Grace's veins, which would have practically killed grace, she decided against it which led to her own dimiss.
'I don't want to be part of all this madness anymore' were her last words before she used the blade she held to slit her throat into two.
Grace was heartbroken since the incident day cause lilly has been a sister figure in her life and everyone else's.
Well, with everyone's mood being damped, we were yet to find out who the demon is amongst us.
I was in my dorm room when I felt a knock on my window.
It was already past curfew time, so I was startled to hear such noise coming from outside.
Oh no, what is it this time?
I wondered as I wrapped the thin duvet around my body.The air was cold against my skin as I walked towards the window with a lamppost in my arms.
It's better to be safe than sorry.
And that was pretty much the only item that could serve as a weapon to me.With shaky legs, I carefully opened the balcony window, and to my relief, no one was there.
Must have been my imagination or an animal
I thought as I turned around carefully, putting the lamppost on the bedroom floor, I turned to lock the windows when an arm gripped me by the waist and covered my mouth.
I panicked as I tried shoving the heavy body off me, but the person just tightened their grip and hold on me.
"It's me, prescelto." The voice said.
Austin?
I thought as his strong masculine scent wafted in the air, which soothed me and caused me to stop struggling.
I felt him loosen his grip on me, and he gave me space to collect myself.
A frown was etched onto my forehead as I stared up at him, wondering why he was here by this time.
But his gaze didn't meet mine, instead his eyes carefully roamed around my body and I suddenly became extremely conscious of the shorts and singlet I wore to bed.
His eyes roamed every inch of my body, and it felt as though I was being stripped off the clothes I wore as his gaze ignited sparks on my skin.
I cleared my throat, making his attention snap towards me.
"Sorry, you just look hot and devourable." He said in a husky tone as a blush tinted his cheeks.
I expected that to make me uncomfortable, but for some reason, it stirred a hungry desire from within.
"Why are you here?" I questioned as I moved away from him so as to avoid acting based on the desires that were suddenly ignited.
"Max and Enouch have a suspect." He said, and I turned towards him so fast that I almost fell on my butt.
"Really?" I said in an ecstatic tone, but my smile wiped off my face when he said
"They suspect it to be..." He said an suddenly paused, leaving me in anticipation.
"Rose." He finally uttered the name, at last.
"What?" I whispered in fright.
"Everything points to her being the one controlling the game. After all, she is the only one who has'nt been dared" He explained.
"Keep it down, I think it'll be best to discuss this tomorrow, gace is still asleep in the next room." I said.
"You're right. This can wait till tomorrow." He said in understanding.
"Is it safe for you to go back out there?" I questioned, worried he might get caught if he sneaks out again, and the lats thing we need is more questions being pointed at us.
"Not really, but I think I'll be able to make it back without being caught." He said as he reached for the window.
"Wait!" I said as I grabbed onto his arms.
"Stay here for the night, I don't want to risk the chances of you getting caught." I said.
Austin looked at me with a deep longing in his eyes as he said.
"I'm not sure that'll be a good idea, prescelto. I won't be able to keep my hands off you." He whispered.
"Then don't." I found myself saying.
I know it might have sounded sudden or absurd, but I completely trust Austin, and I was more than ready to give myself to him.
I still believe in keeping my body till marriage, but right now, with everything that's going on, I'd be lucky if I were to make it out alive at the end of the day.
I reached towards his cheek and gently pecked it as I said.
"I'm sure about this, Austin."
And that was all it took for him to capture my lips in a long, hungry kiss.
He kissed me like I was the air he needed to breathe as he pulled my body closer to his.
His arms roamed around my body as mine tangled in his hair. He picked me up in a swift movement as my legs wrapped around his waist.
I didn't realise how much I've longed for this until his arm touched my breast.
It was gently at first, almost like he was asking for permission to proceed, and I found myself removing my top in a swift motion.
The air hit my skin, making goosebumps erupt on it.
Austin looked over my upper body in appreciation.
"Beautiful as always," He said as he recaptured my lips in his.
The night was long and blissful, for it was the night where I lost my virginity, and I'm glad to say, i gave it to the right man.
