God of thunder’s possessive love

Decision

"I don't know ." Sena replied in a small voice . Those three words gave a deep s***h on her heart .

Without pondering on that , she quickly added " He told Eric that he wanted to learn Astronomy and You know Eric would never deny a student , so he agreed . And rest you know ."

"I have no intentions of scaring you but Elliot might be related to mobs or that sort of people ." he said in a measured tone .

"Are you out of your mind?" Sena retorted in an unbelievable tone .

"Let me support my assumption with a valid argument ." he said and sat straight turning to face her .

"Firstly " he began sticking out his index finger "He disappeared without a trace and nobody knew him properly along with you ."

"Second : He came to your rescue when not even I knew you were kidnapped ." he continued sticking out his second finger .

"Third : He knew your apartment and even had access to it , so it means he had a key. " he said, adding one more finger .

"And fourth : We do not yet know the kidnappers and their intentions ."

She let everything sink in . It was more complicated than her feelings . There are so many unanswered questions looming in the air along with her feelings .

The wheels in her head started turning and she said " What are the odds that the kidnappers were hired by Elliot and rescuing me was all planned !!"

Jack let out a sigh at her assumption . He cannot believe his own ears . Just a few hours ago , she was defending Elliot when he accused him of abuse and now she is drawing out such conclusions on her own . Shaking his head "Let us consider the possibility that Elliot might be the mastermind behind this kidnapping . But Answer me honestly , would he let anybody lay as much as his or her tiny finger on you ?"

"No!!" Sena added "What if those hired goons did that on their own because I tried to escape ."

She was not ready to let it go yet .

"Believe it or not but I'm pretty sure , he was not involved in this." Jack said and stood up from the sofa .

"Go freshen up !!! Dinner will be ready in a few ." Jack said from behind the counter . Sena went up stairs while Jack continued in the kitchen .

On the other hand , unknown to the fact that sena was not coming home Elliot prepared a dinner and was now setting the table . He was abundant in clearing all the misunderstandings between them . He felt that once Sena will listen to him , she will forgive him or at least will talk to him .

Taylor entered and said "Ma'am is not coming home , so I have sent the replacement ."

Taylor anticipated a rude or furious reaction from Elliot but he muttered with a smile on his lips "I should have known !! You instructed them properly , right ?"

"Yes sir ."

"Anyway , where is she staying and is it safe ?" Elliot asked , taking a seat on a chair .

"She is in a safe neighbourhood sir ." Taylor replied .

"What do you mean by safe neighbourhood !!! Is she staying at somebody's place ?" Elliot asked in a confused voice . He thought that she might be staying in the hotel just to avoid him .

"Yes sir . At a college’s place ."

"Whom ?" Elliot asked in such a calm tone that it sent chills down Taylor's spine at the underlying threat .

"Jack James !!! He is her friend as well as owner of Satre company where she works ." Taylor added instantly "And he is a good person and also has best regards for her and ...."

A look from Elloit shut him up . He stood up and left in fury . He was shaking with rage , no doubt . But he was angry with himself . He knew it was his mistake and Sena had all right to be angry . Yet he wanted her to understand that everything he did was for her own good and safety . She has no idea about the dangers of his world . He was trying to protect her from himself .

And in quest of protecting her , he has lost her trust and maybe her love too . He was hoping that if he could tell her everything , for which he had arranged this dinner , she would understand him . Maybe she would not have forgiven him instantly but at least she would have known that his intentions were pure .

Strange !!! How he stayed away from her for one year and now one night seems long enough to drive him nuts. Shaking his head he left her apartment.

The table was left untouched with candles half burnt .

On the other hand , Jack prepared a simple dinner for two , which was consumed without the mention of Elliot . Majority of their conversion consists of the upcoming collection and the success of the previous one . After clearing the table and loading the dishwasher Sena turned to face Jack .

Now the main question arises : who will sleep on the sofa and who will get the bed . As earlier mentioned , it is a one bedroom bachelor pad . Other than the bed, only the sofa is available to sleep .

Once the kitchen was cleaned and both of them had changed into nightwear (t-shirt and shorts borrowed from Jack ) Sena asked " Just lent me the extra pair of blanket and cushion ."

"What ? No way I am letting you take the sofa . You take the bed ." Jack said .

Sena protested " Looking , let's not make a big deal out of it . You take the bed and I will take the sofa ."

Jack argued "What sort of man I would be , if I let you sleep on the sofa while I take the comfortable bed !!"

Sena replied "Smart!"

Before Jack could say a word Sena added "Come on, look at you!!! Do you really think that you can fit on this sofa with a large body like yours ? "

"No , but my small body can definitely fit on this sofa . And anyway I don't want to impose ." Sena said .

Jack gave it a thought and in the end agreed with her and took the bed while Sena settled herself on the sofa . It was indeed a long day and exhausting too .

She knew that the coming day would be no different . She could just hope for the courage to face whatever that is waiting for her tomorrow .

She let the exhaustion and events of the last day take toll on her and fell asleep . Jack was watching her until she fell asleep . He felt bad but most of all he felt guilty . In some weird way , he felt responsible for her helplessness .

While at Sena’s apartment Elliot was re-considering his options on winning her back . He has to clear things between them and also has to keep her safe .

Elliot’s pov :

I cannot let anyone know about her , not yet . I can trust Taylor . But there are things that Taylor cannot avoid . Taylor is taking a lot of risk helping me keep her safe and secret from our own kind . It shocks me to the core just imagining what chaos Sena will find herself in , if anyone comes to know about her relationship with me .

And also Matt , Mark , Justin and Harry took it upon themselves to be her bodyguards , when their actual rank is much higher than that . These are the only people other than Leo who know about her and helped me keep her low key throughout the year .

Till the last day , I had it all sorted . There was a plan . I knew what I had to do for her safety . I thought distance will help me as well as her in moving on in life . Yet here I am now with no plan to follow . I have no idea what to do nor how to win her back or more importantly How to keep her safe . Amid all this chaos , I am sure about one thing and that is I cannot stand her hatred . I need her by his side . She is like a drug to my body .

There is a saying ‘taste the drug once and you will keep coming back for more .’ And in my case I got to taste her again . Kiss from last night seals the deal that she is mine for the rest of our life . I don’t think I can even stand the thought of staying apart from her .

Remembering the kiss , my hand went to my lips . I traced my lower lip with my thumb, reliving the feel of her soft lips on mine . My lips stretched in an involuntary smile replaying the scene from last night . I could clearly taste her on my lips just by replaying her memory . She might not confess it but her body clearly wants me . As much as she wanted to deny that my presence does affect her but her lips all together sang a different tale . The moment her lips crushed mine , I knew I would follow her to hell just to share one more kiss .
