Chapter 137
Anna
I woke up to find Duncan in my bed, his hands draped over my body had slept off last night and he'd gone to attend another meeting. He was so obsessed with finding Viktor's killers and my captors that he was barely around anymore.
He groaned as I shifted, pulling me into his arms and squishing me into his body like a toddler would her favorite teddy Bear.
"Where are you going, my love?" He groaned, burying his face in my hair as jis hands found my boobs and he squeezed.
I yelped at the sudden contact.
"To pee, Duncan," I said and he rolled his eyes at me.
"You can pee on me," he murmured like it was a perfectly normal request.
I slapped his arms good naturedly,
"Eww, what is wrong with you?"
"I'm in love that's what," He chuckled, his chest rumbling against my back. I rolled my eyes at him.
He was so open with his feelings, it was disturbing. The brooding insane man I knew when I first came here was gone only to be replaced by a sweet, doting loving man. It unnerved me just a bit but I loved it
"Aren't you going to tell me you love me?" He chuckled...
"No" I said and wrestler his hands away but he didn't budge God he was strong. If he wanted to kill me, it wouldn't take a second.
That fear was what kept me alive. That is he wanted me dead, he could easily do it. I didn't want to think of what would happen if he discovered who I was, I'd be dead in minutes.
"Whee did you?" He asked, his green eyes staring at me with desire and love.
"Nowhere,"
"You're lying," That was right... I keep forgetting that Duncan and I were mates and he could connect to my parts of my emotions...
It was scary.
"Tell me what you're thinking. I want to know your thoughts," He said, grabbing my face and looking into my eyes.
"I'm thinking about how dangerous you are and how easy it would be for you to...kill me,"
Duncan stiffened.
He sat up with his elbow... "Why... what..." he sighed in exasperation.
"Anna... you gotta stop with these thoughts. I'd never harm you. I'd die before I harming you,"
I could tell he was telling the truth. It would have warmed my heart if I didn't know he'd change his mind if he found out who I was.
I guess I'd have to figure out a way to deter him from my trail before I figured who he was.
I smiled at his words and bent down and kissed him.
His lips were firm and commanding as he kissed me, his hands roaming around my body.
"Hmm, you're such a dream come true, Anna," he moaned, cupping my ass and grinding against this morning wood.
I moaned but broke the kiss.
"No, no. No sex,"
Richard started up at me, panting. "What?"
Duncan blinked, stunned. His brows furrowed slightly, lips parted like he was about to argue, but then he sighed and flipped back on the bed.
"You're killing me, woman," he groaned, throwing an arm over his eyes dramatically.
I bit back a laugh. "You'll live,"
"No, I won't. Not if you keep getting me hard and walking away like you didn't just wake up every nerve in my body."
"You started it," I smirked, sliding out from under the sheets. My shirt barely covered my thighs, an u knew he was watching.
"Damn right I did, he muttered. "And I'll finish it too. Just... Maybe not today,"
I walked to the bathroom, chucking under my breath. The truth was, I wanted him. Every inch of me ached for him, but the guilt and fear clung to me like a second skin. I couldn't give in too much. Not when everything between us was built on secret
But even as I thought that I knew I had already given in. My body was his and my heart was his and it scared me.
When I came back out, Duncan was sitting on the edge of the bed, shirtless, rubbing the back of his neck like he was working through something.
"Anna," he said quietly, "do you ever feel like... You're running from something? Or someone?"
I froze, heartbeat skipping.
He glanced back at me. "Sometimes I get this feeling from you, like your scared of something real close. And it kills me that I can't protect you from it, because you won't let me in."
I walked over slowly, settling beside him. My hand brushes his, fingers linking. "You already protect me more than you know,"
His eyes locked onto me, sharp and unreadable "Then let me all the way in, Anna. Whatever it is, I can take it,"
I smiled.
If only he knew I was the monster in this situation.
I didn't answer. I just leaned in and kissed him again, soft, slow, and full of everything I couldn't say.
Duncan left for one of his meetings shortly after but not before making love to me and letting me know to get ready for a spa date with him.
He was getting serious with this courting and wooing me thing. I decided not to think too much about it.
It was better that way.
I'd enjoy what we have for now. It was the happiest I had been in a while and I didn't want it to end. But I knew it would, so, I'd spend every waking hour being with him and loving him...
Maybe you should give up on this endeavor of yours
A tiny voice in my head said.
No, I had to take my revenge. Giving up would be an insult to my mother.
And I couldn't insult her like that.
It was around noon when Duncan came back from his meeting with two badly beaten men. I watched as they were taken away.
"Who are they?"
I asked, walking up to welcome him with a kiss.
"People that can tell me what I need to know,"
