Wings of Desire

Ch -19

Touch of his lips,

The ardour in his eyes,

Saying what I want,

Saying you are mine.

FREYA

I was melting in the freezing winter; I was melting under his intense wild kiss. Truthfully I was worried like hell where she took Brenna and why she left me to die. But he kissed me and everything vanished, every thought, every worry.

Can angel have practice at kissing so expertly? Because when he kissed me, I actually embarrassed myself by letting out a sigh, a sigh with contentment and pleasure. I have been kissed before, couple of times but never in those times I felt myself tremble and knees go weak or blood rush inside me and had desire to mould myself with him and kiss never ends.

It was like kissing sweet lava, hot and sweet. I grinned at my description. But what can I say; his kiss was that good, forgets the rest of the world and wants him good. If his kiss could do that I shivered to imagine more. But I would like to know why did he do that?

He broke from the kiss and I pursed my lips, an instinct to hold back the last touch of his lips to mine.

“I am sorry if that was awkward, I was just too relieved to see you alright.” Alexander looked kind of apologetic and sort of angry.

What made him angry? Was I that bad a kisser? Or he regretted doing this?

I snapped out of my self-centred questions and remembered about Brenna.

“Where is Brenna?” I asked the panic returning.

I saw relief on Alexander’s face on change of topic. Maybe being an angel embarrassed him but his cocky nature said otherwise.

“I thought she was with you. How come you fell in the cold water?” He asked trying to know if I had any answers and questions.

“I know you saved me.” I said in a low tone just for us to hear and gave him my feeling grateful smile.

The acceptance of his help and my acknowledgement of it brought the look of utter happiness in his eyes like when a mother praises her child for something. He was hot and adorable, rare combination.

“Brenna is fine. We checked, she was in class and remembers nothing.” Haylien came into view and I cringed.

“Who did this?” I realised Alexander was asking this questions with weird calm.

“Haylien is unexpectedly helping here.” Alexander explained and reluctantly I nodded.

Haylien gave me I am here for fun smile, I ignored it.

“She said she was your sister.” I blurted out remembering.

Both turned to look at me incredulously.

“Describe her please.” Alexander said with obvious restrain in his tone.

I described her from head to toe and I could feel the betrayal in his eyes.

“I am sorry.” I whispered no idea why I apologised but the pain on his face made me.

He gave me a sad smile in return.

“Haylien did you had an idea?” He asked his elder brother.

I was not sure what happened when I was gone that two were on normal talking terms.

Haylien was in too much of a shock and mumbled something like she can’t be doing this.

For a second I felt sorry for the guy.

Brenna was safe, I felt utterly relieved. I stood silent while noticed the tensed conversation between the brothers. My eyes rested on my angel, after the kiss I felt something connected between us. I noticed his tousled hair that made him sexy, his violet eyes set with anger and sadness, his perfect lips forming words I couldn’t hear, his artistic jaw line that gave him the gorgeous model look.

I leisurely noticed his broad shoulders underneath his white tee that fitted him perfectly emphasising his muscles on all right area. My cheeks burned up at the thoughts I had observing him this closely and I my eyes wandered back to my favourite place, his violet eyes. And I noticed they were staring back into my brown ones. I immediately looked away, totally embarrassed.

“Freya.” He called out my name like a symphony.

God this guy was turning me into romantic, sappy freak.

He smiled with lot of pain and I had the sudden urge to kiss his pain away or at least give him a consoling hug. Seems like he loved his sister, they both did.

“I will send you back to school, both Hazel and Brenna are there completely unaware of the situation. Their minds are clean slate but I want you to be safe. I will be gone; I have to deal with my sister. I can’t believe she did that, I trusted her more than anyone I ever did or maybe I ever will.

Haylien will be accompanying me so no need to worry about his presence.” He explained it all so softly and gently that my heart warmed up.

I can see he was betrayed and was in pain, he had always been there for me when I was in pain and now I wanted to be there for him. And thought of him going away built a certain level of panic in me. And I knew I couldn’t survive without my guardian angel. It was not like I was in love or anything, it’s just that I knew I had someone to protect me from all dangers and suddenly he can’t leave for a vacation.

Yeah, I was being tiny bit selfish.

“Alexander, take me along.” I mustered up courage and said it.

His reaction was as I expected, outrageous.

“No, Freya it’s too dangerous.” He gave the most clichéd answer in this world.

I inched closer to him, to let him feel my earnestness in helping him and desire to be with him, more importantly pain that he wouldn’t be around. I have not been with him for more than a couple of days but his eyes were always with me and so was he just invisible to my eyes.

“Please Alexander, I don’t want you to leave but I know you have to. So I will just come with you if that’s the only choice.” I heard the desperation in my voice and from his expression so did he.

Haylien let out a dramatic cough.

“Haylien, go ahead. I’ll follow you shortly.” Alexander commanded and turned to focus on me.

I saw the conflict in his eyes. Did he like me, I wondered looking right at him. His violet eyes, which I considered mine for so long mesmerised me. His kiss was full of passion but his apology later and his anger told another story. I was confused.

“Please don’t make it any harder than it already is. Do you know how hard it is for a guardian angel to leave their human unprotected? It’s almost a crime.” He said with genuine pain and helplessness.

I was making things harder for my very own angel. I chided myself for being so clingy and childish.

But I felt myself tearing up a bit, a lump formed in my throat. Before I could embarrass myself by shedding tears, I looked up at him with new conviction.

“Oh, fine. You could go. I just thought it will not be that hard, just trying to help.” My reply was that lame and incoherent.

Hell yeah I was getting addicted to him, I wanted him around and since an addict could go to any extremes for thing he or she desires I decided to go on my personal sleuthing mission.

I just tried to act normal and not give away my feelings and it was harder to do that in front of him. Suddenly he took me by surprise as he pulled me for a hug. It was not a sweet, gentle or caring kind of hug rather it was a wild possessive hug that declared I was not be touched by anyone but him.

Just a hug sent shots of pleasure and desire through me. Stop thinking like that for an Angel, Freya! I hugged him back leaving no opportunity. I almost smiled at my fear of intimacy. I felt so warm and secure with him.

And then his lips came closer to my ears and he whispered in a sexy, irresistible tone, “I will be back for you my fiore.”

The way he said, his low alluring voice and a do or dies promise like he will come back to me no matter how difficult it was made my blood rush and sent my heart hammering. I was not used to this kind of attention, care and god forgive, seduction.

I guess Alexander took his job too seriously because there was no way in this damn world that someone as exquisite as him will care and want from someone like me. Nevertheless my heart didn’t get the memo and it responded this way around him and I was ashamed that he knew that well enough. He knew everything. And if he didn’t, my happily kissing him back gave away everything.

“Promise?” I asked before I could stop myself.

“Forever, I promise.” He said my favourite words meaning them every time.
