Under her spell ~ (Book 1 ~ wicked desires series)

In his eyes

Ryker

Shit, she had been nothing, but trouble lately, why would she get herself in such a state at The Scarlet of all places, did she not know the dangers she put herself in, she seemed so different tonight, where was that sass and confidence? She looked broken and sad, was that because of me? 

As I looked at her small frame sleeping, peaceful, I could faintly see the worry lines creased around her eyes, even in sleep she wasn’t peaceful, she slept the whole way, I carried her to my bedroom placing her small frame upon the bed as she sunk into it, her eyes fluttered opened as she smiled.

“If you wanted to take me to bed all you had to do was ask” She slurred.

“Kala, sleep”

She started undressing, s**t, we was not doing this, not now, not with her like this, what did she think I was some kind of monster.

“No, sleep”

“You don’t want me?”

“You know I do, but not like this”

“Your no fun” She stuck her tongue out at me and huffed, she was such a brat sometimes, I turned to walk away.

“Please don’t leave me - “

“I’m not I will just be - “

“Please, I don’t want to be alone” a small tear rolled down her face as she begged me not to leave her.

She looked so small, so beaten, what had I done? This wasn’t happening again, I gave her space because that’s what I thought she needed but looking at her now that was a mistake on my part, I walked over to her and placed myself beside her, wrapping her in my warm embrace, secretly hoping and praying I could fix whatever was broken inside of her.

“Sleep now” I whispered into her hair as her scent surrounded me once more.

“You can’t save me, but I wish you could” She sighed before falling into a drunk induced sleep once more.

Kala

Stretching my arms wide, I found myself alone, taking in my surroundings, I found myself in the most lavish room I’d ever seen. Where was I? Didn’t Ryker say he was taking me home? This wasn’t home.

I walked to the end of the room and swung open the lavish doors and walked onto the veranda, taking in the breathtaking view, letting the air fill my lungs and the scents of the sweet summer breeze fill my senses, strong arms encircled me from behind in a warm and loving embrace.

“Good morning little one” I smiled, I wasn’t alone, he was still here.

“I thought you left?”

“Now why would I leave little one”

“Where are we?” Turning to look into those beautiful grey eyes.

“We are home little one”

I was confused, had he gone completely mad, this wasn’t my home, my home was filled with terror and fear, my home was unsafe, this place was serene and peaceful, this wasn’t my home.

“This is not my home Ryker”

“Not yet, but it could be”

“I don’t understand”

“I missed you little one”

“I missed you too but - “

“You still don’t trust me?”

I shook my head, it wasn’t really that I didn’t trust him, sure his secrets had given me many reservations of his intentions, but it wasn’t that I didn’t trust him, not really, I didn’t trust myself when I was near him.

“I understand trust is important to you, yes?”

“Yes” I whispered.

“I will tell you my story little one, I haven’t told anyone my story but you I will tell”

“Why?” I whispered once more.

“Don’t you see how important you are to me?”

“No, I’m not important to anyone”

He looked at me with pity, great he pitied me.

“You are very important to me and if this is what you need, I will give it to you, but I do have a request of my own”

“Oh?”

“Stay with me”

“Here?”

“Yes, I can’t bare to be away from you, stay with me”

I almost jumped up and down with glee, but I stopped myself, could I stay here? And for how long? Forever? Could he save me from my fate? No, no he couldn’t, nobody could, I just nodded.

“Is that a yes?”

“Yes”

He picked me up in his strong arms and twirled me around, so this is what it feels like to be in love, the excitement, the rush, like you are spinning and spinning, faster and faster and just when you’re about to fall, it happens, he catches you.

His mouth came crashing down on mine and all the events of the last three days just washed away, consumed me completely, his lips came down hard and fast, breathless with want, I melted into his embrace, those familiar tingles travelled through my body sending shock waves to my already throbbing cunt, the need and the want was back in mere seconds of one touch from him and he instantly washed away everything that had broken me, in his arms I felt whole, renewed, alive.

He carried me to the bed as I awaited his story, I was eager to hear his confession, but I had already made my mind up, no matter how bad his story was, I wanted him, I wanted this, I wanted us, I think I already knew he was mine even before I realised it, he consumed me mind , body and soul, I didn’t care what secrets he had, I would love him regardless because Ryker Jones had stolen my heart the very first day our eyes met and I would do anything to be apart of his world.

Anything.
