SOULBOUND

AGAIN

The sun was already high in the sky as she slowly opened her eyes, blinking against the light streaming in through the windows. The events of the previous night slowly came back to her, the party, the conversations, the exhaustion that had led her to this guest room. 
She sat up, rubbing her eyes, and realized that she was alone in the room.

The bed beside her was cool and undisturbed, a stark reminder that the man who had shared it with her had left at some point during the night. She wasn't really bothered by his absence, at least she had privacy.

She got out of bed, her bare feet hitting the cold floor. She made her way to the bathroom, splashing some cold water on her face to wake herself up. She dressed quickly, pulling on a clean pair of shorts and a t-shirt and trying to smooth her hair into some semblance of order. She needed to collect herself before stepping out of the room to face both him and his grandmother.

She picked up her phone and noticed a missed call it was Ella 'Of course she will call me this early in the morning, she's so noisy'. Eliora dialed her number and waited for her to answer after a few rings her voice is heard.

"I thought you were dead" Ella spoke her voice a hint of curiosity as why she didn't answer her call. "Well for your information, I was asleep I just got up like ten minutes ago" she replied as she headed to the door slowly opening it and stepping out.

"Whatever, so how's your boyfriend" Ella asked as she could feel her friend rolling her eyes at her question "have you guys... you know...done stuff yet" she continued. Eliora was slightly taken aback by the question but she couldn't say she didn't expect it from Ella "you have a lot of audacity young lady, but sorry to rain on your parade we haven't and we won't"

"Ohh please don't lie to yourself, I've done my research and I've seen his pictures, the man is a fucking god, if I was in your shoes I would have probably raped him by now" Ella replied almost holding a laugh at her statement "You're just something else you know that" Eliora couldn't disagree with her, he was hot but she wasn't about to hook up with him. She was just that stubborn.

As she came down the stairs still on the call with Ella she spotted Xildan's grandmother in the living room. "I have to go, I'll call you later" Eliora whispered as she reached the end of the stairs "You better call..." Ella replied but wasn't able to finish because Eliora had ended the call.

"Good morning ma'am" she greeted as she walked into the living room "Ahh I see you're finally awake" the grandmother replied with smile on her face as Eliora nodded in response. "Ma'am please where's Xildan" she asked trying to sound like a concerned girlfriend.

"He's probably out in the garden somewhere" she said looking at the exit door "okay, I'll go see him" Eliora said as she slowly strolled out of the living room. "Take your time love birds" the grandmother said taking a sip of her coffee.

I stepped out of the house and walked into the garden where true to his grandmother's words he was sitting on a chair just outside the garden. I walked over and took a seat directly opposite him and crossing her legs "Good morning" she said before looking down at her phone.

His gaze immediately left the newspaper he was reading and went to her face. He replied with a nod before his gaze dropped down to her exposed legs, he tried to look away but he just kept looking back at her legs for some reason. His mind wandering to places he knew they shouldn't.

There was a skyward silence as she focused on her phone and him strangely at her legs.

'Fuck it's happening again'

he said to himself as he felt his pants getting tighter just by looking at her. The ringtone of her phone distracted him for a while "Sorry let me take this" she said getting up from the chair and walking out of the garden to take her call.

He quickly unbuttoned the first two buttons of his shirt letting out some heat 'just a quick rob should be fine' he said questioning himself as he spread his legs 'what an inconvenience' he thought to himself as he gently touched himself through the fabric of his pants slightly easing the growing tension in him. He took a deep breath after calming down and fixed his buttons as she walked back into the garden.

"Who was that" he said his voice coming out huskier than intended as he forced himself to look away from her and focus on the newspaper he was holding "my mum" she replied as she sat down back on the chair she previously occupied. He gave a nod in response as he stared at the newspaper his mind still scattered.

"When do we go back to your place" she said her eyes still on her phone. He looked up from his newspaper but not at her still wanting to keep his sanity in check "We leave this afternoon" he said staring at the flowers in the garden clearing avoiding her eyes as she replied with a nod.
