Allure of Darkness!

7. The Game!

Author's POV

Marona looked at Rafael nervously when he said that.
"I have a session in a few minutes"
She mumbled, completely avoiding eye contact with Mikhail.

"You will finish it in seconds, I am sure of it"
Rafael knows that she is trying to escape.

Lovina forced her to sit down and Marona could feel anxiety rolling in her body. She shifted uncomfortably in her place and looked down at the chessboard silently. She thought she would confront the man who touched her but it turned out to be Mikhail, against whom she can't even stand. She tried to forget how well she felt under his touch which shouldn't have happened. She is supposed to hate this man with everything she has. It was hard for her to believe that it was really him because the man she met in the warehouse and the man she encountered last night were in contrast. Last night was soft and passionate and the warehouse day was horrified and cruel.  She can still feel his hands on her body and it was eating her in guilt. The horrible feeling she was getting is he was stepping back but she pulled him closer.

Rafael curiously looked at Mikhail, he knows that he will get to see something interesting.
"Is it okay, Mikhail?"

Mikhail who was resting his elbows on his knees and staring straight at Marona, smirked. He knows that Rafael is teasing him.
"Hmm!"
He didn't show much interest even though he was feeling curious to see Marona's game.

His eyes were still on her while she was struggling to sit calmly, he noticed how her shaking hands tried to fix her hair and cover her breasts. She always does that and it shows him how insecure she is about her beautiful curves.
Marona is the most beautiful woman he has seen in his life, no other woman has intrigued him like she does.
She is like that golden deer which allures predators in the dark forest and the same is happening to him.

Her tiny nose has turned red since yesterday after seeing him and it has still not gone back to its original color, he finds it amusing that she turns red when she is nervous or scared.
Her throat bobbed up and down as she tried to gulp in fear. Her beautiful emerald orbs were looking restlessly everywhere but at him and he wanted to punish her for that but not now. The time will come and he'll punish her for all the disobedience.
It was amusing for him to see her sitting in front of him when in reality she wants to run away and hide in a hole like a Rabbit. He knows that she is terrified of him and he makes sure that she stays terrified.
He hasn't scared anyone like he has scared Marona and it was necessary for her and mandatory for him.

She scratched her neck nervously and he noticed his mark on her neck, the familiar strong possessive feeling took over when he saw that. Last night he was in their room to just take the file but he saw his sexy temptation standing by the moonlit window in nothing but thin fabric which was giving him the view of her soul-caging body. He was going to leave but she pulled him closer and after fighting with himself, he gave her what she was begging for. He tried to step back when resisted her alluren and realized that he shouldn't cross his limits yet but she looked too needy and desperate so he gave what his woman wanted. The hardness while handling her was painful but he controlled himself and gave her only that much which she required.
He loves when she begs him, it makes him more obsessed with her.

It's not like Mikhail didn't try to distract himself from her allure but she always makes her way back in his mind every time. It's hard to control when allure becomes an addiction. After trying hard, he finally gave up and decided to take what should have been his and he is all set for it. After whatever happened last night he, has become like a Tiger who has tested blood for the first time, she was like a drug for him which made him lose his senses.

The Sun was turning hot with each passing second and she was sweating on her forehead but he knows that he is the reason behind it and not Sun. He looked around to not make it obvious that he was admiring her and her fear but it was hard for him.
He waited for her to continue Rafael's game and she was nervously analyzing the board. She lifted her delicate hand and moved her queen ahead.

Mikhail smirked and killed her queen with his Pawn. Everyone was watching the game curiously.

"Why would you risk your queen? He killed the strongest one."
Lovina sounded confused.

Marona ignored everything around her and was just trying to calm her breathing because she was feeling Mikhail's burning gaze on her.
She moved her horse towards his King and Mikhail Killed it with his Camel.
That was the last step from him and she moved her camel directly where his King was at risk. Now Mikhail's King was surrounded by her and he was trapped.
"Checkmate"
She quickly got up from her place and started leaving but Lovina stopped her.

"Wow! How did you do that?"
Lovina looked at the game amused.
"You defeated Mikhail!"

Rafael chuckled at Mikhail who was looking at him with a mischievous smile. He knew that Marona could defeat him, he just wanted to see if she could play with the same mind when she was anxious and scared. She passed his test, she might show herself as weak but she is not, her mind works in difficult situations also. Now he knows how to control her when he gets her, she is going to be difficult but now he is clear in his vision.

"She risked her main players to aim for a goal. Isn't she smart, Mikhail?"
Rafael looked at him curiously.

Marona gulped when Mikhail got up with an amused sigh.
"Agree! Now let her see what she won"
He pulled off his sweaty gym t-shit and she froze. The puffed muscles she saw under his suit wasn't something to mess with. The man was really looking big with built muscles and no fat. She stepped back when she saw the red mark on his neck and realized that she had given it to him last night. Till now she was hoping for her to be wrong about him being in the room because how can Mikhail give her those feelings. How can he make her feel so good and wanting. He doesn't have it in him and she was sure about it but now the proof was on his neck.

His muscles flexed as he stepped away from the chair on which he was sitting and grabbed the javelin in his hand which was laying just beside his chair. The Javelin was almost around 20 kg as she saw the weight stamp on it, her heart hammered after seeing how he picked it up like a toothpick.
She looked at everyone confused, not knowing what he was doing with the javelin.

"Jeh!"
Mikhail ordered him and seconds after the man started running out of the basement towards the main gate.

Her eyes widened when he smirked while looking at her and tightened his hold on the weapon. The man ran towards the gate which was his freedom but Mikhail threw the javelin towards him and Marona closed her eyes with scream and covered her eyes. She doesn't need to know what has happened with the man in front of her eyes. 

Mikhail turned around and smirked when he saw her trembling with a covered face. He stepped towards her and leaned down to her ears.
"Aren't you going to see your prize, Amore?"
Marona flinched when he chuckled darkly in her ear but didn't touch her.

She stepped back from him horrified and looked at Rafael for an answer.
Rafael smirked.
"Mikhail and I were having a disagreement to settle on the way of killing that man. I wanted to have fun and chase him to death while Mikhail wanted to just shoot him and get over it so we decided to play chess and the one who wins, will make a loser to kill the man the way the winner wanted. You defeated Mikhail so he killed the man."

Marona froze and looked at him in shock, she couldn't believe that they just used her to make someone's death painful. Her eyes watered as she turned on her heels and ran away from there, Lovina shook her head at them and walked away with Damon.

Mikhail couldn't move his eyes off her back as she ran away and her thick thighs swayed with each step. The woman is a walking definition of beauty for him and he can't be more fascinated by her.
"I didn't know that you are into women who are older than you. She is two years older than you, I hope you are aware of that?"
Rafael teased when he saw how lost Mikhail was in her.

Mikhail didn't bother to react to that.
"What were you trying to prove by making her sit opposite me?"
He turned towards him. He took it as an opportunity to test her brains but he is still not aware why Rafael did it.

"To show you that the woman you are planning to have is not easy to manipulate. She is smart so be careful"
Rafael warned.
"Her mind works even if she is scared and she doesn't want you. Think about it"
Mikhail just stared at him blankly.
"But I am with you, whatever decision you make."

"I have made my decision. Letting her go was a mistake, it's time to fix it."
Mikhail declared.
"Just one more mistake from Laurence and that's it. He shouldn't have messed with me like this."
His phone chimed and his smirk widened when he saw Laurence's message.
"And he is doing it again now."
