The Plague(A BWWM Dystopian Novel)

Sacrifice

LEENA POV

I waited in our shared room for Xui to show up pretending i was simply relaxing and all the anxiety over what i had just heard was not pouring off me in sorrowful waves

I knew somehow Xui would likely notice and question me until i spilled my despair. So i fought  my tears and took deep calming breaths. Slowly i rose and undressed. Tonight i needed to be with him. It maybe the last time, i realized and if it was, i wanted to always remember everything about him. His touch the feel of his skin against mine. The taste of him on my eager tongue, all of it. I knew the risks of us bonding for life but i wanted him anyway. He would just have to be careful not to finish inside me

Just then he walked in a stressful sigh escaping him as he moved further into the room. His gaze found mines and he stilled

His gaze slowly roamed my body while i laid naked upon the bedsheets  watching him lustfully. Heat flared in his odd ebony eyes as He stalked towards me and attacked my lips fevertly. I moaned deeply when he aggressively shoved his body between my thighs. I ground my hips into his reveling in his animalistic groans

I ripped at his clothing and soon with his assistance we were skin against naked skin. I ran my hands teasingly down the ridges that lined his spine. The same ones that encircled the head of his manhood causing untold pleasure. He told me that his tribe the Roqua, had deep ridges on their spine instead of Horns like the TurQua. They were a major erogenous zone when aroused and a major defense when attacked.

I caressed them eliciting a low groan from his delicious lips. I licked at them loving his response to my touch. Xui cupped my full breast and lapped at them hungrily. We enjoyed each other all night long. Insatiable and unrelenting. 

My pleasure only tempered by the thought that come morning i may never be able to touch him like this again

****************************************************

 Morning came far to quickly for my liking. i purposefully woke before Xui. I stared down at him fighting the urge to cry. I dreaded what i had to do. i didn't want to give him up. Ever. Dejectedly i forced my self to  dress and with great reluctance I left the room.

 I went to Slix and asked him to get me rooms of my own or i would share with Troy if need be, but i could not stay with Xui anymore. He looked curious but said nothing as he left to do my bidding

Breakfast was an awkward affair that day. I had yet to tell Xui anything but kept obvious distance from him. I barely looked at him and sat on the opposite side of the table as far away as i could manage. He watched me constantly. I know he was attempting to figure out what was happening and i would tell him, but i just needed to gather myself first. Telling Xui we couldn't be together would break me as surely a it would him. 

I had spent the last 8 years before we reunited feeling lost desolate and unhappy until we reunited. Since he returned i never realized how much i wanted more for my life than merely existing. I wanted love. to hold someone at night.  to caress and breath in sync with them. to depend and rely, to know they would have my back no matter what. That was what my mother and father had before the invasion, but i had never had the luxury of experiencing it for myself and now i would have to give it all up.

No one ever said that for all the wonders love brought that the tragedies were just as profound 

Even still Xui was worth it all. Every tear drop. every heartache. everything

(Listen while you read This song is perfect for this scene)

As i walked to my new room that night Xui followed me. I felt his footsteps grow closer as i sped up hoping to discourage him 

"Leena, STOP"

I halted turning to face him. His face a mask of anger and trepidation as he confronted me

"What is it Xui?" I knew what he wanted but i sought to prolong this inevitable moment

"Why are you doing this? what have i done?, whatever it is i can fix it just tell me"

I remained Silent realizing the time had come. I stood steeling myself for what i had to say

"I thought about what everyone has been saying. Its all true. I make  it hard for you to unite  your people. they are never gonna fully trust you, that you have LoQuans best interests in mind with me by your side"

His face morphed quickly from anger to misery

"I hold you back Xui and i dont want to anymore"

"What are you saying?" Xui rasped his voice thick with sorrow 

he moved closer to me his expression pleading 

"That maybe......we shouldnt be together"

"Hey! don't say that. we have been through so much together we can get through this too"

Tears prickled my eyes blurring my vision

"Maybe someday things will be different and the world will change but right now this is how it has to be"

I swallowed my urge to sob and turned to walk away

He gripped my hand quickly 

"Leena im not letting go" he told me determination stamped all over his face

I shook my head as a tear leaked through trailing down my cheek

"I don't want you to, but i have to make that choice for the both of us"

I clutched his hand as i pressed a lingering kiss on his lips.  our eyes held for a long moment before i stepped away, adverted my gaze and slipped my hand away from his 

I turned and walked away  briskly before i could change my mind and jump back into his willing arms where i had found love, safety, acceptance,  happiness. where i had found my soul and the only place i truly ever wanted to be............................

All  Action up next. the conflict comes to a head. And a major story plot twist

Do you think Leena made the right choice?

Do you think they will ever come back together again?
