When Fire Meets Fire

Chapter 12

It felt like time had stopped.
Thats it, this human is certainly sent here to torture me. He couldn't, he just couldn't stop staring at her. Those-that-
"Um,My King ?"
Lucas' face came to his mind, and how he requested everyone to stay away from his so called niece. Damn that bastard!

"Yes,you look - presentable." Presentable? "Come on"
He held his hand out to her. If looking at her made him so distracted, then touching her was just,another story.

He had been in denial so far, for the sake of his friend but mostly for the sake of his reputation.But he couldn't help it now. The woman in front of him was undeniably attractive. From the moment she entered his world, he just couldn't stop thinking about her. At first, it was curiosity, but now,clearly much more. As unusual as it was, Cyrus knew that her presence was affecting him, for whatever reason.

So he wanted to get in bed with a human. No big deal.

As they went through the halls towards the dining room Cyrus could hear her frantic heartbeat. What was she, scared of him? Good for her if she was. Thought Cyrus bitterly. He might be arrogant and egoistical but he was no fool. He was well aware of the things he had done, crimes that would scar a human like her to the core. Besides, presenting an intimidating image was a part of his job as King.

In the meantime Aurora felt like her heart would jump out of her chest. Being with a guy never made her feel nervous. Her whole industry was full of hot guys. But thats the thing, Cyrus wasn't just a pretty face. He was the living definition of power. The world bowed to him and here she was holding that man's hand. It wasn't about impressing him anymore, it was the fact that one wrong word could get her in deep deep trouble.
They hadn't spoken a word since they stepped out of her room. It wasn't really awkward. The silence seemed like the right thing with Cyrus. But God forbid, Aurora ever kept her mouth shut.
"Nice shoes," her eyes were on the floor which made her notice those shiny things on his feet. They weren't even that pretty. Why? Why did I have to say that?!
" I mean- I was just- you know,- looking at the - I just -noti"
"Thank you,"
Oh, my God! Kill me just kill me, Aurora's thoughts must have shown on her face, that was currently on its way to turn scarlet.
She took a little peak at Cyrus' face. His eyes bright with amusement. Why did she have a feeling not many people got to witness that. 

"So, you like America so far." His thick accented voice rang in the hall.

"Yeah, it's really pretty. Specially the castle, I mean we didn't get to see much of the city yet."

"Oh" A plan seemed to formulate in Cyrus' head. After all the denial part was over.
