Chapter 12 Lower his guard

Chapter 12 Lower his guard
Maelis Ardent POV

“Lu—Lucien,” I uttered. I felt like I forgot to breathe for a second as our eyes met. I could feel his anger even from just standing away from him.

I was so shocked when I felt Richard wrap around my neck that made me frown at him.

“What are you doing?!” I said as I tried to take his hand off.

“Just go along if you don’t want both of us to die here in that fucker’s hand.” He whispered.

“Let me go!” I yelled as I tried getting his hand off me. His hand is just around my neck, but there is no grip.

I know that Richard and I are now praying for our life, if this acting is not believable will both die here in this restroom. Everything went so fast, the next thing I knew was that Richard was already on the ground after Lucien punched him in the face.

I immediately went to Lucien, held his arm, and tried to stop him from going after Richard.

“I think we should get out of here,” I said as I tried to grab his hand.

“Who is he? Why are you talking to him?” He asks as he grabs my arm.

“He was sent her,e” I answer him, and I couldsee his jaw tighten.

“I know that I’m not fucking stupid!” He said and walked closer to me, making me stumble backward until my back hit the door of the cubicle. “Who is he? Why did you meet him here?” He said with his easy voice just inches away from mine.

“He---he was sent to kill me,” I said as I swallowed. “Be---because I wasn’t able to give them information from you.” I lied.

I was clenching my fist, trying to control myself as I felt the sense of fear inside me. I was on so many dangerous missions that even the devil will be amazed I was able to survive, but this is the first time I felt this fear inside me and inside my heart as I watch him stare directly into my eyes.

“He’s just a…a person I knew before, I just tried to ask him to spare my life. I’m just trying to solve my problem.” I said as I let out a slow breath, but for a second, he just stayed like that, staring into my eyes. “Aren’t you…Aren’t you going to say some----”

My eyes widen I felt his lips on mine, a felt an electricity run through my body. His lips pressed on mine, my heart beat fast, and I felt like it’s about to explode.

“What are you doing?” I ask as I catch my breath when I push him away. “Lucien----” I said, but I felt his hand wrap around my waist, and his other hand held the writs of my hand and pinned it on the wall.

His eyes meet mine, and I could feel myself losing it. I felt something inside me just wanted to close the gap between us, and if we stayed like this, I would fucking lose it, might do something I shouldn’t.

“Who is he to you?” He asks, which made me stop looking at his lips.

“I told you he just someone I know,” I lied bite my lower lips and tried to avoid his eyes and tried to look away.

‘Please, for the love of god, just move away,’ I prayed inside my mind. I don’t fucking understand why I’m being like this, but I can’t get myself to think of any reason for that right now. All I have to do right now is make him as far away as I can right now.

I was biting my lower lip as I tried to get his grip on my wrist loosened when I felt his chin touch the skin on my neck.

“Ahh,” I could help but moan as I felt a tingling sensation as his skin touched mine.

“If I see another man near you, I’ll kill them in front of you.” He whispered that sent chills into my system. “Am I clear?” he asks. I could feel his warm breath brushing on my skin, which sent a tickle on my body, and as his lips touched the skin under my ear.

“Fuck,” I whispered to myself, but know he clearly heard it. “Yes,” I answered him.

“We’re going home,” he said as he let go of my hand and walked away from me,

“But---” I said, and he turned around, which made me stop. I swallowed and continued to speak when he raised his eyebrow. “Sure,” I said and fixed myself.

WE’RE BOTH silent while on the ride back to his house. I could still feel his dark mood. I press my eyes closed and lean on the car window.

What the fuck is happening now? Why did he kiss me? I know that is what I want to happen, for him to lower his guard. But this is just different. I was supposed to be the one in control, but why did I feel like I was the one being controlled? Even my body doesn’t seem to want to listen to me anymore, damn it.

‘This is not fucking good, this is not why I came for.’

Third Person POV

“Something happened that involved Mr. Allard, sir,” A man in a suit said to the other man that is standing across from the man who just spoke.

“Always something is happening to that boy,” The man answered. “What is it this time?” he asks,

“The only thing they say is that he was in the Restroom with a woman, the same woman he brought as his date.” The man explains as the man across from him laughs.

“Oh, look at the boy, trying love all over again,” the man laughs. “We’ll see about that for the second time,” the man said as he walked towards the man reporting to him and tapped his shoulder as he was about to walk past him. “Why don’t we send them some gifts? Something shocking, something loud.”
