36. Rise the Stakes

Dear Readers,

Wow... 1K reads. Thank you so much! I was happy about the first one and I will be for every single one, that adds hopefully.

I put a lot of effort into Sylus's story, and I love how it developed so far. I can't wait how it will turn out in the end, but to tell the true... I am not so sure myself. The ideas develop while I write the scenes, and I hope everything until now makes sense to you. (If not, please tell me... but some parts are revealed later...)

I love to read your comments, and if you find some grammatical mistakes or typos, don't hesitate to point out to me. I will correct them, because I am an "Erbsenzähler" (Nitpicker). ^///^

Thanks & Love. D-I-A-G

Kittys Perspective

My body trembles at his words. I tear myself out of my vortex of emotions as I realize what I just did to him. I rush toward him, kneel in front of him, untie his handcuffs, and place his face in my palms to ease the pain on his cheek that I have caused. "I'm so sorry, Sylus. I don't know what came over me. I am so sorry, for everything."

„I know." Is the only thing he says, looking sadly in my eyes, cupping my hand with his own, snuggling his cheek against my palm craving my warmth. My heart aches at the sight. How could I not love this man? I lean in to kiss his forehead, then the tip of his nose, the spot below his eyes and finally his soft warm lips.

"I get the idea that you wanted to help me using this strange method, Sylus." I mumble in our kiss, my lips moving on his. His hands reach out to my neck to pull me even closer, down on the floor with him. "You are so smart, little Kitten." I feel his lips moving as he gives a cocky retort. He's never going to change, right? "I think... I am really falling for you. With my mind, body and soul. You win our bet." I admit finally.

Sylus Perspective

I showed you my best sides the last days on purpose to win you over. I manipulated you. But your confession snaps something inside of me. Your feelings are genuine, but you do not now jet, what you are getting into.

The hope I feel fills me with terror, like a loser. What will you do, when you sees my dark sides? Will you leave me again? Will I lose you again and then forever? After all I went through, I would not be able to handle losing you after I finally got you back. I would rage. I would burn the world for you. The whole damn planet to avoid that. I need to show you what it means to love me, before it's too late.

Kittys Perspective

I notice that Sylus keeps strangely quiet after I confessed my feelings for him. His eyes shadowed by... fear? That's not possible. But before I can ask Sylus what's wrong, he suddenly shifts his body, and I am pinned down by him on the ground, his body pressed against mine, his arms rest next to me. He looks down at me, his expression looks dangerous. "So... my little Kitten. Where did we stop... ah, I know. You slapped me pretty hard. That hurt. Maybe I should punish you for that...?"

He sucks on my bottom lip, nibbling with his teeth causing a sharp but beautiful pain. I am overwhelmed by the sudden change in atmosphere. He's too much. And not enough at the same time. "Stop. Sylus...!" I gasp, shoving him away. But he will not let go. "It's my turn to get some answers now, little Kitten. Be honest, and maybe I will reward you."

"What do you want to know...?" My brain goes blank as he mentions some kind of reward. "Admit that you are afraid of me. You are scared that I might be the one and only for you. You fear my dark sides." He firmly holds my chin in his fingers, forcing me to look up at him as he studies my expression.
