Chapter 19 You Make Me Crazy

((( Warning Explicit Content Warning)))

Randalyn's POV

I travel on foot for hours in the dark, maneuvering around and through the natural obstacles covering this land. The exhaustion of the long day is starting to hit me like a brick wall, so it's now confirmed by my constant yawns and slowing pace that I can't stay up too much longer and will need to find a place to rest for the night.

I searched specifically for a cave-like dwelling that could keep me out of sight and covered for protection. So I weave in and out of the trees until I finally find a good little area that's surrounded by trees, looking like fencing with how close they are together. I look around for any plants or creatures that might seem suspicious but I don't see anything.. Luckily for me, because I don't know how to deal with them, or if I did attempt to try to take care of an issue with those creatures, it would be with all hope of not dying in the process.

I kneel down scooting trees and planting debris out of the way so I can try to lie down. The need for some rest is starting to get overwhelming. So I have to force myself to wander around and gather some sticks together to try to get a fire started... Once piled one on top of the other, I rub the sticks together with a rock... and nothing... I use two rocks to make sparks and that barely comes out, not creating any heat from that... maybe it's the wood being too moist.. maybe it's my skills that are only referenced from things I have seen on TV or movies. I never knew if they would actually work or not, but I always hoped that when the time would come that I could do this for myself... But I was wrong.

I huff out as I keep trying the same routine, seeing sparks and hoping for the best, but nothing is coming from the little bit of sparks these rocks can provide. I move from one idea to the next but nothing seems to be working... Especially with the fun fact that I can't see more than a couple of feet in front of my face because it's so dark outside. It's starting to get frustrating and I'm about ready to give up. That is until I get a possibly bright idea. I won't know until I test out this theory. So I pull my bag off of my back to put it onto the ground so I can search through it to grab my taser. The electricity that sparks between the two bars at the tip of the taser might be able to start a fire for me, given the wood isn't too moist from the storms.

I lean over the wood, getting pretty close as I bring the taser down to my level. I put it up against the wood while turning it on creating plenty of sparks... and as suspected, the electricity could start a fire, but I think the wood won't light because nothing is catching fire even with direct heat in contact with the wood.

I huff out getting mad at another failed attempt, as I hear someone approaching. I quickly jump back against the wall of trees, freezing against them, hoping my being still will be enough to blend in. But I did have to leave the backpack on the ground next to the unlit fire, which sucks if I have to leave quickly... I didn't have enough time to grab it. So it doesn't matter if I need it right now or not, because I'm not going out there to get it until I know I'm safe.

I try to hide away from view with my eyes closed, hoping if I can't see them then they can't see me. I'm holding my breath and fighting every urge in me to move from this very spot. I hear some sticks breaking as I barely peak through the squinting, until this person passes by. With how tall and stocky the dark sihiloette is, I can suspect that it's a man. I still have the taser in my hand so I wait for him to turn the corner to really get into here and then I'll attack.

He walks past me before leaning down to investigate my backpack and the pile of sticks for the fire, along with the rocks I was trying to use to try to create this fire. I figure this is my chance while he is in here and distracted. So I jump out and taser him in the back. His entire body shakes and convulses until he groans out as he falls down to the ground.

I silently praise my effective ambush that saved my ass from being attacked... It was quick thinking on my part and I'm proud, if I do say so myself. I tip-toe around him, still trying to be quiet to not gain any attention if this guy is not alone. So, since I need to figure out if anyone else is with him, I step over his body and in the direction he came from. I peek out not seeing anything around.. So I step further out, straining my ears as I keep looking in all directions, but I don't see or hear anything.

I turn back around and swiftly head back to the body laying on the ground. I lean down and inspect, pushing the hair out of his face as I gasp in shock from quickly figuring out it's Cassius. I roll him onto his back as he just flops any way I push him, showing he is knocked out since he is not getting up.

I sit down next to his side tapping his shoulder, but he is not waking up. I shake his entire body but he doesn't show any signs of waking up. I grab my bag and pull out the water bottle that was given to me, as I pour it on his face while lightly slapping his cheek. "Cass... I'm so sorry... Cass.. wake up please... I'm so sorry." I say after multiple attempts to wake him with no success, until finally, a smile emerges on his face. "was that the bear mace you warned me about?" I giggle at that comment as I shake my head and say. "It's my taser.. it electrocutes a person who is a threat. But if I would've known it was you, then I wouldn't have ever tried it." I explain to him as he chuckles and pushes himself slightly up and on his elbows.

"At least I know you still care about me... even though you left me." He says between groans as he touches his head. I get mad at his comment, automatically shoving his chest. "Of course, I care... dumb*ss. I never once said I didn't... That's why I'm here." he smiles up at me as he groans and sits all the way up trying to touch my arm, but I don't let him because I'm mad he is here for one thing and mad about his comment he just made.

I stand up moving away from him, just getting madder about the fact that he said that while endangering himself. When the whole reason I'm here is that I care about him... I thought that was obvious.

He stands up and he walks over to me, but I just look away as I lean against the wall of trees. He inches closer until we are face to face and he has his arm propped up above me as he looks down at me, leaning closer than I expected. I want to be mad at him but with how sexy he looks and how good he smells he is making it harder than I ever expected.

"Hey, beautiful. If anyone is allowed to get mad it's me... You're the one that left me." He says with sass, making me mad as I bring the sass up a notch if he wants to play like that. "You're right, I did it for your safety.. But I am allowed to be mad that you couldn't save yourself by letting me do this on my own." He leans in closer as he retorts with just as much irritation as I'm displaying. "I wanted to help you.. because I can help you."

"I know you can, but that doesn't mean I need it or want it because I will be fine on my own... and I don't want you here in the line of fire, just in case anything happens. I want you to be ok." I spat at him sending a glare that we know is not real, right at him. He doesn't move away from me at all, he just pulls out his wand while staring directly at me. He points it out towards the pile of sticks, just automatically starting a fire as he mocks. "Yeah, you're doing so great on your own freezing out here in the cold with no fire. You should just let me help you."

"You should just learn to stay home and take care of yourself once in a while... and I was getting there trying to make a fire." I say standing tall, bringing our faces closer. He chuckles at my response while shaking his head as he asks. "So how many times did you try to make a fire.. because I see multiple attempts by the black marks on the rocks." He says pointing at my failed attempts. I scoff at him before saying under my breath. "it was just a couple of times." he laughs while shaking his head. "You know you could just say thanks because I CAN HELP."

"Thanks for the fire that I was getting to... eventually... but also thanks so much for inviting yourself when I just want you to be safe at home," I say rolling my eyes as I look away. He leans closer to my ear, with his nose touching over the curve of my ear, sending a chill through me as his breath flutters over my ear lobe. I feel my body getting weak, but he won't win this argument like this. He is sexy, but I'm still mad. I let out a deep breath trying to calm my body down while he says softly. "You could be safe at home with me."

"Yeah, I could, but that wouldn't be helping you and that's all I want, is to help you and your family. Not get a surprise attack from a handsome threat." His eyes wiggle at me as I still try to play mad by looking away again. The more I stare into those eyes the more I want to smile.

"Well, that's something we can agree on... That was not the surprise I was hoping for from you." He says as a giggle slips out, so I shove his arm trying to hide my smile. "You shouldn't be expecting any kind of surprise... You were supposed to be sleeping and figuring out hours from now that I am not there." I declare as he shakes and then c*cks his head to the side.

"Did you think I wouldn't notice you leaving?" I shrug as I look up at him before he adds on. "Well, you're not the only one who likes to be in contact to help you sleep... I love it too and I could feel the cold that surrounded me when you were gone." He says throwing his hands up in the air as if he is lecturing me. I feel sad about that thought.

"I didn't think you cared that much," I say as he sighs. "Of course, I care... Did you think I was just saying I cared just because?" I shrug looking away from him, being nervous about answering that. "I just figured you would be fine without me there."

"Of course, I would be fine... I'm not a child. I can be on my own." He says to me as I feel myself getting sad but knowing exactly what he means. Before, he quickly states to continue his thoughts. "But just because I can do it, doesn't mean that's what I want." I look up at him not knowing what to say. I want to nod and agree with him because I understand what he is saying, that even applies to these circumstances... I can do this mission alone.. maybe.. but I would love to do anything with him. So even though I shouldn't be happy to see him here, I am. because that is what I want. But I don't want him to know that, because It's hard for me to let down these walls.

"I was trying to spare you and your feelings from any more pain," I say to try to explain, but he already knows this since he is nodding. "Oh, I know exactly what you were trying to do but I won't let you do it." He states putting his foot down about my actions, but that doesn't make me halt my decision. Nor does it sit well with me since I'm not letting other people make my decisions for me. "Well, that's not your decision to make." I spat putting my finger into his chest.

He leans down, getting closer so our faces are only inches apart. "Fine I won't decide for you.. but you won't decide for me either." I shake my head spatting at him. "No, you're not going to do this for me... I won't allow it." I say in the sternest tone I could ever muster up.

"I wasn't asking was I?" he says to me getting closer as I shake my head, feeling his breath fan off of my lips. "well I wasn't asking either." He nods then biting his bottom lip, staring deep into my eyes as he spats. "You're right.. you weren't.. but you can't." I scoff at that comment. "Oh yeah? why can't I? because look at me, I'm out here already doing it and I'm not turning around now." I snap at him poking his chest more before my hand flattens on his chest. I hear a rumbling emerge from his chest as he stares from my eyes to my lips. "You're just so stubborn...You drive me crazy." He says before crashing his lips to mine as we kiss with a passion I have never felt before.

His hands wrap around my face and pulling me in as I lean into him, so I push further into his lips. I peel them away just to spat in this sexy heated moment.. "Good, then you can feel how crazy you drive me with your intense need to protect me," I say into his lips as I pull him by his shirt so his lips crash back into mine. I can feel his hands sliding under my shirt before pulling me by my hips into him more.

He breaks our intense kiss, leaving his lips close to snap in the sexiest tone. "Yeah, well you drive me crazy with how you care about everyone else more than you care for yourself. How about you put yourself first for once." He says as his lips attacked my neck pulling me in by the small of my back so there is little to no space between us. I throw my head back as I moan out, before saying between deep breaths. "Yeah.. well.. if you weren't so handsome, fun and you didn't treat me so f&#king good, then I wouldn't want to protect you." I spat at him as I reach under his shirt pulling the bottom of it up and off of his masterpiece of a body.

Making us take a small break to peel the shirt off before grabbing his waistband to undo his pants.

"Well, why can't you just be boring like everyone else, so I wouldn't want you... plus every different, sexy thing you do that makes me happy, with this life," he says to me as he rips open my shirt, sending buttons flying all over. I gasp as I feel my insides heating up at that action alone. "Why can't you just be interested in someone of you're own kind so none of this would be happening to you?" I ask as I pull his pants and underwear down, exposing his hardened shaft.

I feel my heart beating out of my chest at that sight but knowing this is what I want and for once, I get to pick what I get because I want it.

He pushes us back against the trees so he is hovering over me. I shimmy my pants down until I can quickly slip my legs out of them and my boots. He starts kissing my neck again before heading down to my mountains of breasts. He sucks over my n*****s sensually, easily getting distracted as he caresses over my breasts. He hums with every kiss he makes that leads him down my body, he decides with each break between kisses to makes a sweet comment making my heart soar. "you're just too beautiful... too sweet... too funny... too amazing in every way.... that I would be crazy to not be interested in someone as intriguing as you."

"Well did you ever think that maybe I don't want to hurt you or your family... plus I didn't want to get hurt again and that's why I was leaving," I say to him as I jump into his arms wrapping my legs around his waist. His hands grip my waist tight securing me to him as he inches closer between my legs with his shaft right at my entrance.

"Well, did you ever think that maybe I don't care if I get hurt as long as you're ok because all I want is for you to be happy.. But if it matters at all in your little world.. I wasn't planning on hurting you ever, I just want no crave to be with you in every way possible." He says before pushing himself into me as I moan out at the sheer size difference then what I'm used to.

He leans into me as he kisses from me neck and back up to my lips as he starts to thrust into me. With each thrust he makes I can feel my hips pushing back into him, moaning louder as my grip tightens around his shoulders.

He grunts as he continues to thrust, but picking up the pace as I kiss him with a hunger that's consuming me completely.

I feel a heat building up inside of me with every thrust he makes as my moans get louder. I don't know how he can make me feel so good, doing what has been done to me before, but never like this. He caresses me as he stares at me as if I'm the most beautiful woman on earth. The heat in his eyes matches the heat in my loins, making me want to just melt into him.

I feel a build-up inside of me that I have never felt before, it feels intoxicating as my body tightens right before loosening up, as the most relaxing feeling consumes my entire body, sending chills and goosebumps over every last inch. I feel as if I'm in the clouds never wanting to come down from this heaven. I would stay up here forever with him if I could.

He caresses over my body, only making a couple more thrusts before pulling himself out of me just to pump aggressively shooting his juices into the bush beside us.

Once he is done pumping, he looks back at me before automatically crashing his lips back into mine. My hands wrap around the back of his head again, kissing him longer than anticipated. "You're all I want Randy." He says into my lips as I shake my head at him, making him look sad as I say. "I don't think you realize what that means for us.. and how much work this is."

"Well, I don't think you realize how badly I want this and would do anything to keep it." He spats at me as I find myself staring up at him before I reach up, touching his cheeks gently as I say "For me... that means forever... I was willing to be alone forever to prevent myself from getting hurt, so if you hurt me I'm gone." I say to him as he nods at me before kissing me again.

"I understand that. I will do everything in myself, to not hurt you." He says into my lips as I kiss him again. He sits back from me, still holding me up. He somehow gets his wand automatically and, with a flick of his wrist, our clothes are coming back to us. My shirt is being pieced together one button at a time as I smirk over at him, loving every last second of this.

I never expected it to go like this, but apparently, the s****l tension that has built between us was something we both have been thinking about for a while, along with every last stress in our lives.. But still doing what we want to make us happy. This was a huge stress reliever in itself. I never knew how good s*x could feel.. this was amazing and I don't regret one bit of it surprisingly enough. I let the moment consume me and it was one of the best decisions, because I feel as if I can take on the world now.
