Queen Of Paradox (Unedited)

Mr. Blue Eyes

"Lana" he breathed, his breath fanning hotly over her neck. She was stunned into stillness. Lana...? "Whoa there buddy, hands off" Jackie demanded, pulling her frozen frame away from him. He seemed annoyed by this and shot Jackie an aggravated look. "Also her name is Rose, it's rude to call a girl by another girls name. So if that's some type of pickup technique you might wanna go back to the drawing broad." His brows furrowed in confusion. "Rose?" His eyes found hers and that same shiver stole over here again. There was something about them.... "Y-yes" she stuttered out. Her sky blue eyes searching his. "No" he all but growled out. "No?" Rose questioned, completely lost as to what was happening. "No" he said again. "You're Lana. My Lana."he stepped close to her again. "What's going on? Where have you been? Whatever, it doesn't matter" he grabbed her arm again. "Let's go".

Rose snapped out of her daze as he started pulling her away from Jackie. "Let go of me!" She demanded, trying to yank her hand away from him. "I don't know you! I'm not this Lana person you keep talking about!" He stopped pulling her and spun around. His expression was one of surprise and annoyance. "What are you talking about Lana? What's going on?" That's what she wanted to know. She didn't know this man yet he definitely seemed to know her. Her eyes widened as a thought occurred to her. Did this man know the real her? Was she really this Lana person? Or was he just mistaking her for someone else? She bit her lip as curiosity and excitement coursed through her. He might be the key to getting her memories back! But...could she trust him? What if he was the one that had tried to kill her? Her blood ran cold at the thought and she renewed her efforts to pull her hand free.

Even if he did know her she couldn't just run off with him. Spinning into him, so that her back was pressed against his chest, she lifted her arm and rammed her elbow into his throat. He immediately released her to clutch his neck and she spun, delivering a swift kick to his leg as well. He crashed to his knees with a pained groan. Wasting no time, Rose grabbed her bags from the floor and sprinted towards the door with Jackie in tow. They didn't stop running until they were several blocks away. "What the fuck was that about?" Jackie exclaimed, clearly upset by the situation. "And who the fuck is this Lana chick he seems so obsessed over?" Rose looked at her friend with a nervous gaze. "I think she's me".

Rose couldn't get his eyes out of her head. The journey back to the palace had been quiet and tense, and as soon as they got back Rose had headed straight for her room. Her thoughts were a mess and she needed to be alone to sort them all out. But two hours later and they weren't any clearer. He had called her Lana...he seemed so sure that he knew her. Had she possibly ruined the first opportunity she had in weeks to learn who she really was?

Did she let her paranoia get the better of her? She sighed and rolled onto her back. Grabbing a pillow from her bed she buried her face in it and screamed. Ugh! This was driving her nuts! Lowering the pillow she hugged it to her chest and stared at the ceiling. Lana... The name along with the males alluring eyes circled on an endless loop in her mind. He was very handsome though...and his voice...she shivered and a blush rose to her cheeks. She couldn't believe this morning she had been practically salivating over Randolph and now she was going all teenage crush on a guy she'd barely talked to.

But if she was being fair to herself, it wasn't like she was in love with Randolph. It was more physical than anything else. Pure animal attraction. He had been the only male in the palace that made her feel safe and peaked her interest. She was a succubus after all, she'd have to feed at one point and she'd prefer it be with someone she trusted, liked, and that was Randolph. But Mr. blue eyes...what she felt when she thought about him was different...it was like her body knew him. When he held her earlier, her entire body had heated up and immediately surrendered...
