Dark Temptation

CHAPTER 6

When I was done crying it was close to the time the sun was setting. Logan and I walked outside hand in hand and sat so out feet just hit the water. It was still about an half hour until the sun was going to set so I decided to start to ask my questions.

"So will you please explain to me what happened last night and why someone was trying to kill me?"

"That girl was a girl named Lilia. She has powers like you and me but she is apart of a group who uses them for evil. Jared was a man she loved even though he never knew about her, so when she thought you had killed him she wanted to get revenge."

"What do you mean when you say she thought Jared was dead? He is dead and it's all my fault." I said fighting back the tears.

"Aliya, Jared is still alive. You never killed him. He doesn't remember what happened that night but he is fine with just a broken leg and a few stitches. You thought he was dead because he became unconscious and couldn't breath for a little while."

"He's alive?" I couldn't hide the excitement and relief from voice. "That's amazing! But that doesn't explain you or how I got my powers."

"You didn't know this but your brother, Liam was an extremely good friend of mine. He knew of my powers and he knew that you would get powers too. The problem with them is you can never predict when you will get them. With you it was when a traumatic experience happened and that is what saved your life even though you didn't know it. Before your brother died he made me promise that if anything ever happened to him that I would protect you, and I plan on keeping that promise until the day I die."

His face was so close to mine I couldn't help but stare into his eyes. He looked into my eyes and started leaning in, and I couldn't help but lean in to. At first he hesitated but then there was a slight pressure of his lips, and that's all it took. I leaned in closer wanting more, and grabbed the back of his neck pulling him in. Our bodies fit like two puzzle pieces and when I was with him I always felt safe. I climbed onto his lap and we stayed that way, kissing with a passion I had never experienced before, the sun setting behind us.

Pulling back to look at him I asked "Will you please stay? I sleep better knowing your here." I was a little worried because I didn't want it to be taken in the wrong way, I just wanted him to lay there holding me while I slept.

"Of course I will. Let's get you to sleep, you look exhausted." He started getting up his hand never leaving mine.

"I'm not that tired. We could do a little more of what we were just doing first." A smirk sneaking onto my face.

"As tempting as that sounds, I need to take care of my girl and that means getting you to sleep." He kissed my forehead and we started heading inside.

Climbing into bed I looked up at him. "I'm your girl?"

"Of course as long as your ok with that."

"I love the way that sounds. Now are you coming to bed or not?" I said tapping the space beside me. He took of his shoes and his shirt and climbed into bed in his jeans. His stomach revealed washboard abs and a ripped upper body. "How am I supposed to sleep when you look like that?" I propped my head of his chest and looked at him waiting for an answer.

"You don't." He winked and flipped me over holding me down by both arms which made me giggle. "What are you gonna do now? You're trapped!" His laugh echoed throughout the room.

"This." I reached up and kissed him making him release my arms. They went straight around his neck and I tangled my fingers in his silky smooth hair. One of his arms was used to prop himself up and the other went around my waist. His tongue explored my lips and when I gave permission it explored my mouth. No one had ever given me so many butterflies in my stomach but also no one had ever made me feel so alive inside.

Pulling away with a smirk on my face I said "We should get to bed." Turning to face away from him I grabbed his arm and wrapped it around me intertwining our fingers. He kissed my cheek and within seconds I fell asleep.
