Lost Love || Book 1 || Sylus x Reader || LADS Fanfiction

8. We were Lovers?

Suddenly, I snap out of my slutty behavior. I am aware of the mistake I made as I realize that caused by hunger and thirst, I have giving in to a dangerous man... no wait... he isn't even human... dangerous beast? Smart move... dumbass!" I scold myself mentally.

Sylus sees the realization starting to sink in on my face, the weight of what just happened between us beginning to dawn on me. He smirks slightly as he watches me struggle to come to terms with the fact that I let myself get carried away by him, a dangerous and cunning being. His face clearly shows satisfaction, seeing me come to the realization of my predicament.

Sylus notices the mixture of disbelief and confusion in my eyes as I begin to piece together everything that happened in the last few hours.

I am a hunter, the best hunter of my division at least, on a mission to imprison Sylus, the most wanted man, the leader of the N109 Zone, responsible for at least thousands of criminal acts under his commands.

And here I am, being kidnapped, dragged to who knows where, in the middle of the N109 Zone, in the middle of nothing, in a villa full of hidden cameras with a crazy stalker. I was hand cuffed, locked up, left alone, almost starving, mocked, hunted down and threated within a couple of hours. Indeed, a very capable hunter... I am so stupid.

Not to forget that I seem to share a strange kind of past with this suspicious man, if I can believe my own shattered memories and Sylus statements, which I doubt.

And I have nothing better to do as to make out with him. I can't believe myself.

Sylus steps back slightly, a smug grin on his face as he watches me struggle to process everything. It seems he feels a sense of satisfaction and power coursing through him, the fact that he was able to kidnap me, toy with me, and still make me feel a sense of passion for him. Bet he's quite pleased of himself. I hate him. I glare at him but...

The lingering feeling of his lips pressed against mine reminds me of a long-forgotten desire. The sensation is oddly familiar, as if we... but that can't be... but it would be an explanation why I feel drawn to Sylus, despite the fact that I am horrified and disgusted at the same time.

"We have kissed before... More than once or twice...!" I shout out, as I realize as fragments of memories are flooding my mind, but too overwhelming to remember it specifically... more like a lost emotion. "We were... lovers!?" I call out as I stare at Sylus in disbelief and shock. My words are filled with confusion and surprise at what I am remembering. What was wrong with me?

Raising an eyebrow at me Sylus chuckles. "Oh, darling... Yes, we were lovers... Once upon a time... But then you left me... and I don't take being abandoned very well..." His voice turning to a darker and more dangerous tone.

The first memory still vivid in my head remembering how I pierced Sylus with a sword. His hands upon mine forcing me to push the sword into his chest even further. "I didn't just leave you..." I realize with shock. "I killed you... And you forced me to...! But why...?"

Sylus watches as my expression changes as the memory comes back to me. A mixture of amusement and curiosity flickers on his face as he sees the surprise in my eyes. "Ah yes... You did kill me... or at least you thought you did... but let's just say I have a habit of not staying dead for long..." Sylus says, a dark smirk crossing his face, his voice filled with dark humor. "And as for why you killed me... Well, that's a long story... one that we can explore later... for now, I have a more pressing question I want to ask you..."

Sylus takes a step closer to me, his eyes locked on mine, a dangerous glint in his gaze as he leans in slightly, his voice dropping to a low, seductive tone. "Tell me... Do you remember how I make you feel?"

Seeing the mixture of fear and attraction in my expression Sylus leans in closer to me, the question hanging in the air between us. He lets the silence linger for a moment, letting the question and the memory of our past relationship sink in.

I hesitate, not sure how I should response because I can't deny the intense bond and odd sensation between us... probably caused by our mysterious past. But what I clearly remember is how Sylus treated me the last couple hours. I snap. "No matter what we were a long time ago... or how you used to make me feel... Here and now... I am disgusted by your mere existence... So let me go...!"

"Disgusted, hm? Is that why you let me kiss you earlier? Why your body trembled under my touch? Why you allowed me to feed you from my hand like a precious little pet?" His chuckle is deep and seductive.
