Chapter 186: Hide and Hunt

“Truth or Dare,” Leitana asked, her heart pounding as she looked at Ravial. His mouth lifted into that deep, dangerous upturned smile that always made her stomach flutter.

“Truth,” he replied, voice low and steady, his hand still resting possessively on her thigh.

The room went quiet. Marita leaned forward with wide eyes, clearly eager to hear what Leitana would ask. Lucius watched with calm interest, one arm draped casually behind Marita on the couch.

Leitana bit her lip, thinking carefully. She wanted to be bold, but not too far. Her cheeks were already warm as she finally spoke.

“Have yu… ever wanted someone so much that it scared yu? Like… you would do anything, even bad things, just to keep them?”

Ravial didn’t hesitate. His blindfolded gaze stayed fixed on her face, thumb stroking slow circles on her thigh under the nightdress.

“Yes,” he said simply, voice dark and honest. “I have. And I still do. Every single day. I would burn cities, break laws, end lives whatever it takes. The thought of losing her terrifies even me.”

The words hung heavy in the air.

Marita’s mouth fell open. “Wow….”

Lucius gave a small, knowing nod, like he understood exactly what Ravial meant.

Leitana’s heart raced faster. She knew he was talking about her. The intensity in his voice made her feel both loved and a little scared in the best way.

She leaned back against his chest, hiding her burning face in his neck. “Mi Ravial… you are too much.”

He kissed the top of her head, murmuring against her hair, “Never enough for you, little lamb.”

The bottle spun again.

The next spin landed on Leitana again.

Ravial’s smile turned wicked. “Dare, little lamb?”

Leitana nodded, heart hammering. “Dare.”

Ravial’s hand slid higher on her thigh. “Take off your panties. Right here. And give them to me.”

Leitana’s face burned crimson. “Mi Ravial… in front of everyone?”

He kissed her neck slowly. “Yes. Or you can say stop. Your choice.”

After a nervous second, Leitana reached under her nightdress, hooked her fingers in her panties, and slowly slid them down her legs. She balled them up and placed them in Ravial’s waiting hand. He tucked them into his pocket with a satisfied, possessive look, his fingers brushing hers as he did so.

Marita stared, shocked but also impressed. “Lei… you are brave o!”

Leitana’s face was burning red, but there was a spark of excitement in her eyes. The game had taken on a life of its own, and the heat in the room was undeniable.

Ravial’s hand stayed firmly on her bare thigh under the nightdress, thumb stroking slow circles against her skin. He looked at the group, his voice low and commanding.

“This game is getting interesting,” he said. “But let’s make it more… thrilling.”

He paused, letting the anticipation build.

“I propose we change it. Hide and seek. But with a twist. Marita and Leitana will run and hide anywhere in the villa. Lucius and I will give chase. You have ten minutes. If we catch you before the time is up… you belong to us for the rest of the night. No limits. Whatever we want.”

Marita’s eyes widened. “No limits?!”

Leitana’s breath hitched, but she didn’t pull away from Ravial’s touch.

Ravial continued, voice dark and smooth. “If you manage to hide for the full ten minutes without being caught… you win. You can ask us for anything you want. Anything at all.”

Marita looked at Leitana, a wild grin spreading across her face. “Lei… this sounds dangerous. But mi like it. What do yu say?”

Leitana’s heart was racing, a mix of fear and thrill swirling inside her. She looked up at Ravial, cheeks flushed. “Mi… mi agree. But only if yu promise not to be too rough.”

Ravial’s lips curved into a wicked smile. “I promise nothing, little lamb.”

He leaned in and kissed her hard. When he pulled back, his voice was a low growl.

“It starts now.”

Marita jumped up first, grabbing Leitana’s hand with a laugh. “Let’s go!”

Leitana stood quickly, still a little dazed. “Mi Ravial… mi panties…”

Ravial’s smile widened, dark and satisfied. “They’re mine now.”

Marita didn’t wait. She dragged Leitana toward the hallway, both of them laughing and running barefoot through the villa.

Ravial turned to the staff, who were still frozen in shock near the doorway.

“Turn off the entire villa lights,” he ordered calmly.

The maids and butlers stiffened, exchanging wide-eyed glances. Never in all their years working here had they been asked to do something like this. One by one, they moved to obey, flicking switches until the grand house plunged into darkness, only faint moonlight filtering through the windows.

Ravial turned to Lucius, his voice low and predatory.

“Let’s hunt.”

The two men stepped into the shadows, the game shifting from playful to something far more dangerous.

Somewhere in the darkened villa, Leitana and Marita ran hand-in-hand, hearts pounding, laughter mixing with nervous excitement.

They had no idea what they had just started.

Marita grabbed Leitana’s hand tighter and pulled her down the long hallway, both of them barefoot and giggling like mischievous schoolgirls.

“Come on, Lei! We have to find a good hiding spot!” Marita whispered loudly, her voice full of excitement and nerves. “This house is so big, we can disappear easy!”

Leitana laughed breathlessly, trying to keep up. Her nightdress fluttered around her thighs as they ran. “Slow down small, Marita! Mi no fit run fast like you with this belly!”

They turned a corner, hearts racing with thrill. The game felt fun and dangerous at the same time. Leitana’s mind was spinning part of her was nervous about what would happen if they got caught, but another part was buzzing with adrenaline and curiosity.

Then, without warning, every light in the villa went out.

The entire house plunged into complete darkness.

The hallway, the chandeliers, the garden lights outside everything vanished at once. Only faint moonlight filtered through the tall windows, casting long, eerie shadows across the floors and walls.

Marita skidded to a stop, yanking Leitana with her. “What’s going on?!” she whispered, voice suddenly sharp with alarm. “Why all the lights just… off? Leitana, this no normal. Mi no like this.”

Leitana’s breath caught. She gripped Marita’s hand tighter, her other hand instinctively moving to her stomach. The sudden darkness felt heavy, almost alive. The villa, which had felt safe and warm just moments ago, now felt like a maze of shadows.

“Ravial…” Leitana whispered, heart pounding. “He must have told them to turn everything off. For the game.”

Marita looked around, eyes wide, trying to adjust to the dark. “This is the game now? No lights? We dey hide in total darkness? Lei… this is scary. But also kind of exciting. Where we go hide?”

They stood still for a second, listening. The house was eerily quiet except for the distant sound of their own breathing and the faint creak of old wood settling.

Leitana’s voice was soft but determined. “We keep moving. Quietly. If we stay still too long, they will find us fast. Come.”

They started moving again, slower this time, hands linked, feeling their way along the wall. Every shadow looked like it could move. Every small sound made them freeze.

Marita whispered, “If they catch us… what you think they go do?”

Leitana didn’t answer right away. Her mind flashed to Ravial’s dark smile, the way his hands felt on her skin, the hunger in his voice when he said “no limits.”

She shivered.

“I don’t know,” she admitted quietly. “But mi think… it will be intense.”

Somewhere deeper in the villa, footsteps echoed faintly.

Slow.

Getting closer.

Marita squeezed Leitana’s hand harder. “They coming…”

The hunt had truly begun.
