BRUTAL MINDS (A DARK ROMANCE)

CHAPTER 20- IN THE ARMS OF HER ENEMY.

               The act took him by surprise that He didn't know how to respond, her tears began to wet his shoulder but He could care less as He let her cry herself out as much as she wanted. She was so pressed against him that when she finally came around from her outburst, she was embarrassed at the intimacy of their embrace. His chest was bare due to the half done buttons and she wasn't wearing a bra either! Crap!Untangling her fingers from his neck, she couldn't believe she just did that, couldn't believe she just sobbed her heart out on Hades Lenshaw of all people.

I'm sorry...she managed to say in a quiet voice.
Don't be. He returned, sounding so stiff and formal that she wanted to shrivel up and die.
You're so stupid Ally...
You can't involve the police.
Why?
They...
Nevermind we'll continue this conversation tomorrow, you need to get some sleep and not here.
What? She looked up at him as He stood up.
You're staying the rest of the night at my place.
What? No no no
What if He comes back? I can't let you stay alone.
Allison nodded in agreement. She was still shaken up over all that had happened and the last thing she wanted right now was a repetition.
Get up, He said.
She stood on her feet and they both walked outside the room only for Allison to trip on the way.
I'm sorry, she apologized.
On a muttered cuss, Hades walked over to her and scooped her high up against his chest, taking them both outside the house.
I can walk! She protested.
Mhmm, He barely spared her a look.
Put me down, I said I can...
Just shut the hell up and enjoy the ride. Was his curt, calm response as He led her through the sand.

                  He felt her wriggle, she was uncomfortable with him, that was sure. On the other hand, he started to realize what He was carrying was light as a feather and slender as a reed and also her trembling had reduced a bit. For awhile she looked up at him, his eyes were straight ahead. She started to take in the features of his rigid masculine face.

             His chin was square and slightly chiseled, she could see them clench and unclench a few times, was He upset about something? His eyebrows were two sternly straight black bars that dipped a little towards the bridge of his nose, his eyes were slant and narrow, it made her think of wild animals. Suitably, a tiger. His eyes were golden brown and they seemed to be reflecting with a dark steely glint right now.

               He led her to the balcony,setting  her down as he opened the door and lee her inside. The beach houses were all built to be strikingly expressive on the outside but the inside was the total opposite as it was very basic; just one bedroom, a small sitting room and kitchen and a bathroom.

             Really they were meant to be nothing more than a place to cool off after a day on the beach. It also served as the perfect place for a single person to use for a holiday. Problems only arose when that single person doubled to two and it was a problem that was beginning to dawn on both of them as they go in. Allison felt her throat suddenly dry up at the sudden awkwardness. What was she even doing here?

I'm sorry...I have to leave...
However she froze once she turned to the door. Going back to that bedroom would only aggravate her terror and what if He came back? She sighed, turning back around.
Wh-where's the bathroom?
That way...Hades pointed out.
She wobbled forward, almost toppling over but He was quick to hold her just in the nick of time.
I'm sorry, I don't know what's wrong with me. She apologized, frustrated with herself.
No more apologies, I don't want them. He said. I think you need to sleep.
I need to wash up first, get the feel of his hands off my skin.
Hades nodded, leading her to the bathroom. There are fresh towels in the left cabinet and a hair dryer on the right.
She only nodded, shutting the door as she got in.

              Hades found his way to the sitting room and sat down on a couch. He was clearly still agitated by the incidence. He could clearly remember the bastard's face. Who knows, he could be long gone already but nothing was going to shield that swine from his grasp, absolutely nothing! He heaved a sigh. He couldn't wait for tomorrow so she could leave, she was uncomfortable with him and so was He. If only this incident hadn't happened, He hated inconveniences. Just then he heard the bathroom door creak open, she called out to him.
