(Craig Tucker x Reader): Stolen Love

16 ~ Love?

"Are we going to go or what?" Craig held out his hand for me to grab which I did and we began to run towards the inn while trying not to draw attention to ourselves in case Clyde was still out there.

We never stopped running until we reach the safety of our inn room.

Craig slammed the door behind us as we walked into our room that we are staying in.

"What are we going to do?!" Craig screamed, he grabbed his stash that he keeps around his body and threw it across the room in anger, the stash hit the wall with a loud thud and slid down the wall slowly.

I jumped a little at his action, Craig noticed and eased his body up.

"Sorry." He said quietly, making his way towards where I stood. He held out his arms to motion that he was going to hug me.

I accepted his hug, moving closer to him with my arms out as well.

We embraced for a period of time, I don't recall how long it was but it seemed like it lasted forever and I didn't ever want it to end.

Something inside me felt weird, I didn't understand what this feeling was but it felt like little butterflies were flying in my stomach.

I didn't know what this feeling was but it made me feel all anxious and nervous.

I could hear Craig's heartbeat, it was increasing rapidly as time went on, I think he was having the same weird feeling as I was.

I looked up at Craig, still, in each other's arms, he looked down at me. A smile spread across his face, he brought his face down to my forehead and placed a kiss on my forehead.

Was this feeling that I was feeling love? I've never experienced love before ever in my life.

I've been trapped so long in my castle all alone with little to no interaction with the outside world.

A blush crept across my cheek, as on his too.

Did Craig feel the same way? I'm so confused over all of my emotions.

Craig chuckled at me being a blushing mess, I guess he knows how I feel now.

"How could a princess like you fall for a low-class thief like myself?"  Craig asked, placed a strand of hair behind my ear which made me blush even harder.

Craig placed took a hold of my chin, making me face directly at him.

We stared into each other's eyes for a show while slowly closing the gap that lies between us until our lips met in a kiss.

The kiss got more passionate and rough as we continued.

The kiss seemed to last forever, though we had to soon had to separate so we can breathe.

We pulled away from each other, we were both a blushing mess.

I wanted to say something, I opened my mouth to say something but it was interrupted by a banging at our door.

Our heads turned towards the door then back to each other. We knew exactly who it was.

"How did they find us?" I asked very quietly so they didn't hear us from outside the door.

"Spies," Craig said, moving away from me and collecting his things as quickly as he could.

I didn't really have any objects to collect, I did have the stick but I gave it to Craig for him to hold on to it.

Craig stopped looking around for whatever he was looking for only for him to look at me with a worried expression on his face.

"Where's the stick?" He asked me.

My heart dropped, "What do you mean where is the stick?" I asked louder than before.

"It's not here." He said, throwing his bag at me.

I caught his bag and looked through it, he was right, it wasn't there.

"Looking for this?" A voice came from inside our closet, out came Clyde who had probably been hiding there the entire time.

In Clyde's hand, there was the stick, HE. HAD. THE. STICK.

My heart dropped once again, how did he get the stick and how did he know where we were staying at.

"Life's amazing when you can easily pay people to give you information," Clyde said, trolling the stick around his fingers.

"I'm going to end you," Craig said ina quiet voice, being careful not to raise his voice.

Clyde chuckled at Craig's actions.

"You're so funny Craig, you really are." Clyde made eye contact with me, making my whole body shut down.

"Why go for a guy like Craig? He won't give you anything... Unlike me. I'll give you the entire world. Rule the world with me and maybe I'll let Craig live." Clyde moves towards me, placing the stick under my chin, moving it up, making me look him in the eyes.

"What about the Grand Wizard?" Craig spoke up, causing Clyde to frown.

"What about him? I can easily out-rule anyone." Clyde looked over at Craig then back at me.

"What do you say beautiful?" Clyde smirked at me.

"Y/n, don't do it. Don't do it to save me, its not worth it." Craig yelled at me.

"Clock's ticking," Clyde said, moving closer to my face.

"If I do it, will you spare Craig's life?" I asked, hoping that I'll get the answer I want from Clyde.

Clyde sighed, obviously he wasn't happy about it but he soon answered my questions.

"Fine, yeah, sure, He'll live."

I wasn't so sure, I don't know if I can trust Clyde but at this point, I have no other options.

"Fine, I'll do it," I said, this made Clyde smirked.

"Good, that's exactly how what I wanted." Clyde licked his lips hungrily, it made me very uncomfortable

"Don't you dare touch her," Craig screamed, charging at Clyde and before Clyde could react, he was already on the ground, stick flying across the room when Clyde hit the ground.

I took my chance and rushed towards the stick, I was able to pick it up and point it towards Craig and Clyde who were fighting on the floor.

"Craig!" I screamed, getting Craig's attention.

Craig pushed Clyde off from up top of him, getting up and running up to me. I grabbed his hand, using the stick to teleport us away to an unknown location.

"How long are we going to be doing this?" I asked Craig, going up to him and holding him in a tight embrace.

"I don't know," Craig responded, holding me back in a tight embrace himself.
