The Broken

Late Night Sparks

I burst awake, sitting in bed, trying to catch my breath as tears streamed down my face, my body covered in sweat, remembering what that man I called my father did to me. A shiver runs down my spine as I push those memories deep down; the nightmares are almost every night, no matter how much I try to forget about my past. It always has a way of returning to haunt me in my dreams. After gathering my bearings, I looked at the clock. It reads 8 am; I slept in longer than usual. Getting out of bed, I decided to do some solo training in the woods. The pain always makes me feel better and clears my mind; as I step out of bed and get dressed in my workout clothes, I turn and look out the window. It is a beautiful sunny day with clear skies, a perfect day to be outside. I grab a quick snack in the kitchen while walking through the house. I entered the kitchen, I looked around. Usually, Freya is in the kitchen, but not today. After looking around, I grabbed a snack from the cupboard. Suddenly my body feels a wave of warmth and the captivating scent of oak and leather; I don't have to see to know that it is Killian walking in. I grabbed a coffee and quickly drank it before turning around to see Killian smiling. "Good morning, "I said, smiling as my cheeks started to blush to look into his stunning eyes as I looked slowly down at his body." Good morning, sky, stunning, as usual, today," he said, his smile turning into a sexy grin as he looks over my figure.

The rest of the day went smoothly. I tried to avoid Killian as much as possible, but it seemed that everywhere I went, the space was filled with his fantastic scent, captivating and distracting me; I mostly sat by the waterfall, which seemed to be the only place he wasn't. Only a handful of people know this place exists. That's why it is my favourite spot to think and train. My little piece of heaven to get away from everything and escape.

The water is crystal clear blue; you can see all the life in the water, the fish swimming around, the sea life at the bottom and the beautiful birds flying above, surrounded by trees. The only sounds here are the genital waterfalls and the birds singing their songs.

At night, all you can hear is the gentle waters crashing into each other and the crickets singing their nighttime melody.

After dinner, I put my plate beside the sink. Then, looking out the door, I decided to do late-night training to clear my head before bed, hoping it would help me get a better night's rest. When Kilian came into the kitchen, he put his plate beside mine, standing close enough to feel the warmth radiating off his body. I looked up into his stunning blue eyes, not wanting to move away from him. "what are you doing for the rest of the night?" Killian asked with a questioning tone. "I'm just going to do some training before I go to bed tonight," I said, running my hand over the back of my neck nervously "it is a beautiful night to be out; do you want some company," he said with a wink "sure if you want to I train alone usually, it would be nice having someone with me," I say quickly tieing my shoes nervously I never have anyone train with me especially not killian. Still, I feel the need to be close to him. When I'm near him, all my troubles wash away as if they are distant memories that have long gone away, like we are the only ones in the world at that moment.

Who knows, maybe it will be a good night after all. "Ooh, I'm just someone now, am I," Killian said with a sarcastic tone. Suddenly I am even more nervous. I didn't mean it like that, and I didn't want him to think I meant it rudely as I stumbled up, looking into his dreamy eyes again. "I. I didn't mean it like that," I said as I stumbled on my words, quickly looking back at the floor when suddenly I felt his hand wrap around my waist, pulling me closer to him, putting a finger under my chin to tilt my head, so I am looking right into his eyes which takes my breath away, everything in me wants to kiss him. When he pulls me closer, I can feel his breath on my lips. "You are so cute when your nervous, you know." I feel as if I'm dreaming; for years, I have dreamed of being this close to him, and now just a few days, it has happened twice. Then suddenly, I am pulled from my thoughts as he starts to step back, releasing me. As I am now standing on my own, he is standing a few steps away, but I can still feel his body heat, as if my body is trying to pull me closer, begging for his touch once more. I am still frozen in place and frowning a little at his distance now. "Well, let's get going then", he smiles, winking at me as he heads out of the kitchen through the side door leading to the forest entrance. We walked in silence for a while. We crossed the field to a more forested area. We walked a little farther than I usually do for private reasons. We would be the talk of the pack if anyone saw us walking in the dark together. Even though we live in the same house, no one has seen us together outside of our home unless it's with his parents; still, we never spoke to each other more than a simple greeting till recently.

"What are we starting with," he said as he put his stuff down by the nearest tree. I usually would go for a run, but that would require us to strip in front of each other to shift as much as I want to see his perfect body again. I can't allow myself to be caught up in a moment like that if he doesn't have the same feelings for me as I have for him. The only other thing we could do would be "sparing in human form". I quickly blurt out nervously as my voice cracks a little. Maybe I could distract myself by trying to lay punches on him instead of wanting to kiss every part of his body.

"Okay, the last one standing wins," he said with a seductive wink. I nodded my head in response to getting in position, him giving me the single to start. I quickly tried to throw a left hook, catching on a tree and sending splinters in the air. As he spins around, dodging me; he quickly spins back around, tapping on my shoulder as if he is taunting me, trying to get me worked up. I feel the urge to win even more to prove him wrong. After a few seconds of dodging his attempts at gaining an advantage on me, I noticed an opening quickly pouncing on him and noticed us both stumbling to the ground. I laugh at his facial expression, it's as if he'd never lost before till now. It brought a smile to my face. "I guess it's a tie as both of us are on the ground," he said, laughing, looking into his eyes. Suddenly, the spark in me starts to fire up again. As I take my eyes away from his, slowly looking down at his chest, I realize that we are both on the ground, my hands on his chest straddling him with my legs on either side of him. I looked back, gazing into his eyes. They are filled with lust and need. He places his hands on my hips, slowly pulling me down as I let him. All I can think about is wanting to be closer and kiss him.
