Ring of Fire

Chapter 4. Too close

After a small lecture from Mav, Sera hid her money in her dresser, which Mav had filled with clothes, and plopped onto her bed. It was surprisingly comfy and warm. She unbraided her hair and it was now wavy from being wet and bound for so long. Ever since she got home she had been wondering what Ryan's ability was. Water maybe? She only thought that because of his ocean blue eyes. Mav said to stay away from him because he was apart of the street-wielding community. And he was pissed because I had joined a brawl.
A loud pop sounded and Seraphina sat up quickly looking around her room just to find Ryan leaning against her wood dresser. His hair was messy and his eyes were shining with pure delight.
"What the fuck are you doing here?!" She was lucky Mav was out running errands.
"I wanted to visit, Eva," he walked over and sat next to her on the bed, "didn't you notice the present I gave you?" He moved her hair back from her neck and ran a finger over where he had kissed her earlier.
"Excuse me?" She swatted his hand away. Ryan smirked and eyed her neck. Sera stood up and walked over to her mirror and looked at her neck to see a tattoo of a flame. "What the hell did you do to me?" She turned around to look him straight in the eye and he was reclined on her bed with his hands behind his head.
"I've claimed you," a shrug from him, "I own you for a day every week. I thought we could enjoy it. Also if you disobey me the flame will grow, but I trust you won't do that." He chuckled and patted the bed next to him.
She sat down beside him and looked down at him angrily. "What kind of ability is this?" She touched the tattoo. It wasn't bad it's was actually wonderfully inked.
"I'll let you figure it out, but I like to call myself a god," he gestured toward his handsome face and well toned body.
Sera rolled her eyes, "does this mean we're friends now our something?"
"Oh certainly, but you can call me master," he grinned devilishly.
"Perv, wait until I tell Maverick about this."
"Oh you will do no such thing, he can't know about our love life."
"Love life? You are a dirty bastard!" She made fire dance inches from his face but he just blew it out smiling.
"You're so fun to tease, doll face, also, I like it better when you don't wear the mask, it's very sexy," he sat up.
Trying extremely hard not to blush she punched his arm, "Dirty old bastard."
"I'm only 23," he rubbed his bicep where she had punched him.
"Really?"
"Really, how about you?" He looks into her forest green eyes and his own flicked to her lips.
"19, most people think I'm a lot younger." Her own eyes glanced at his lips and he leaned in closer. Their breaths merging, she could smell his peppermint toothpaste that he used.
The door burst open and Mav was in the doorway, a loud pop and Ryan was gone.
