Find Your Fire - The Angulus Chronicles #1

Chapter Twenty-Seven

I started shaking. We were caught. We couldn't get caught. It'd cause a massive problem with Miuh.

Oahn's hands glided to my hips and he softly pinched. His brown eyes peered intensely into mine. Act along, he seemed to say.

I curved my arms around his neck and pulled his mouth onto the sensitive spot where my shoulders met my neck. We were lovers, trying to enjoy our company in the night. He slid his lips over my neck, his teeth scraping against the skin. I shivered under his touch. Appropriate or not, Oahn definitely knew what he was doing. My thighs warmed in anticipation, an ache starting to grow.

Firm footsteps echoed through the alley, heading for us. Two. No, three guards.

"Sir, I demand you to step back."

It wasn't working. Oahn pressed me harder against his body, his fingers softly caressing the bare skin of my thigh. Before I knew what I was doing, a soft moan slipped out of my lips. Oahn's fingers stopped for a second, but he ignored my reaction and continued on. I slid my fingers underneath his shirt and touched hard muscle. My cold fingers against his warm skin made him shiver and as my fingers slid lower, he let out a soft moan of himself.

Good. I wasn't the only one reacting to this intimate embrace.

I brought my face closer to his, my lips leaving trails of kissing over his cheek. When I reached his ear, I hissed. "It's not working. They're coming."

"I know." Though his eyes glazed over, he was focused on our surroundings.

The guards were merely ten steps away, two of them grabbing their weapons. The third halted his steps. "Sir, he's with a girl." His voice was hesitant.

I brought my lips close to his ear once again. "Kiss me."

Oahn pulled away slightly. "What?"

"Do it. This is not working. They have to think we're almost shredding each other's clothes."

"But-... are you sure?"

No. Yes. Whatever choice did we have? They weren't leaving us alone otherwise.

Oahn read my silent agreement and without warning, he closed the small space between us. His lips closed over mine and I heaved a sigh under his touch. My body was aching for this.

He kissed me softly, his lips feather light. I started doubting if he had understood this was not enough, but then he closed his hands around me thighs and pulled my up against the wall. I hooked my legs around his waist and my lips parted like they had a will of their own. His tongue slid in my mouth and flaming hot shivers ran down my back. Our kiss was hot and passionate, my hands tangled in his hair.

The guards stopped to a halt beside us, not really sure whether or not to stop us. One of the three made a choice.

"Sir, it is past curfew. I would kindly ask you to find a-... room and continue on."

Oahn tore himself away from my lips and I almost yelped in disappointment.

"Don't you see I'm a little busy here, gentlemen?" His fingers were still around my backside, and my hands were still in his hair. I didn't dare speak, afraid the shaking of my voice would give away how much impact this kiss had on me.

He leaned over me, hiding my face from the guards view in case they recognised me. As the girl who could possible wield the box, I was probably more well-known than Oahn and he tried to cover me. With his roots here in Water, there was no doubt he probably lived here, not the lethal warrior who accompanied the girl visiting the king.

The guard who had spoken slid a filthy glance over my body like I was nothing more than a cheap whore. "Finish this quick and head home." He sheathed his sword. "I will let the other guards know of your-... situation. Don't let me catch you after curfew again, boy, or there will be consequences."
