A Dark Blood Assassin

Chapter Three

It was late night, Darius was in his bedroom, thinking about Alexa, that annoying priestess, He wanted her so badly that He couldn't stop thinking about the feeling of her breasts under her hand and the way She reacted to his touch, even when She knew He was an assassin, She really wanted him, her look and her breathing, even the beating of her heart or the way She was shaking into her arms. She could deny it but She wanted him and that was driving him crazy.

He went that day to that part of the garden to gather some plants and make a few vials of poison He needed, there had been a few months without touching any woman when He saw her, wearing that white dress and going inside the river, He wished She had taken her clothes off before doing it because the moment She went out He could see through the cloth, then He followed her, thinking She was a girl from the Sanctuary, otherwise there wasn't a way She could be in that place. He waited for the moment to ask her for some s*x.  Then He saw her go into that garden, it was forbidden for those girls because the most lethal plants was growing in there and they was not allowed to get near those places, it could be dangerous for them and They could try to poison someone from the Dark Blood. Since He found her inside He was able to give her a proper punishment, and He wanted to f**k her really hard.  But how did it blew into his face? She was a priestess, and not any priestess but the High Priestess, or future High Priestess, so important as the actual since She was her daughter.

Her smell was all over his shirt and He didn't want to take it off.

-Damn it! -Wispered Darius, He had forgot about gathering the vials.

Alexa kept shaking a few more minutes on her bed.  She couldn't understand why but She never felt that way before, not even with Selik. And She was going to marry him.

Her entire body was covered with small drops of sweat. Maybe it was the remains of the poison but She couldn't take of her mind the feeling of that man's hands touching her body and her hand over his erection. She never though about Selik on that way, in fact, She never touched him or kissed him, their marriage was arranged just because the High Priestess needed to be married before the ceremony and He seemed the better option. 

But still, She couldn't take those blue eyes off her mind, and She didn't know even his name.

It was a hot summer night and She couldn't sleep, she needed to refresh herself.  They had told her that it was a very safe place and She was free of going anywhere any time. She went out, it was full moon so She could do it through the river and dive into the cold water.  Even when it was dark, the moonlight was enough to show her the way to the river.

--

Darius was on his way to the shelter to gather the vials when he saw her.  What was She doing in the middle of the night, alone in the woods? He followed her, hiding in the shadows until She reached the river, then she started to undress, damned were the gods, He wanted to posses her perfect body right there. After a few minutes She went out of the water and got dressed, then She sat over a rock hugging herself, She was shaking, maybe the remains of his poisoned blade. She deserved it for being so stubborn and refusing to give him what He was asking for.

Then He saw it, a shadow moving through the bushes, all his senses got in alert and He started to follow whoever was out there.  Someone else was there, and was approaching her so silent as to be noticed. Then He saw the blade, a very quick reflect of the moonlight. He jumped over the shadow, Alexa screamed, the shadow was gone and Darius was in front of her.

-Are You fine? - He asked.

She was petrified, looking at him, the She saw that long cut in his left arm, it was bleeding.

-Oh my goddess, You are hurt.

-I'm gonna be fine, dear -Answered Darius.  Starting to feel a bit dizzy. -But we need to reach my bedroom pretty soon.

-Oh stop it! You are hurt and even You still want to take me into your bed.

Darius felt down -Trust me dear, We need to reach my bedroom or I'm gonna be so damn dead that nobody will save You next time they try to kill You. Now, please help me to stand up. We only have half hour before I'm pretty dead.

Alexa took his arm over her shoulders and helped him to stand up, walking him back to Sanctuary.

Darius was worried.  Who would dare to attack a High priestess in the Sanctuary?  It was the safest place to be since it was guarded by assassins and the woods was a forbidden place for outsiders, this person already knew the place. He was afraid there was a traitor or a deserter trying to kill her and He was going to find out who was and why.

When They reached his bedroom She dropped him over the bed, then went straight to the door, She was going out when he said -At least I gave You the antidote before leaving back in the woods.  Would You do the same for me?  Handle me the black bottle over that table, please. 

She took the bottle and gave it to him, helping him to drink it.

-Please don't leave, They are going to find You and kill You and I won't be able to protect You.  Stay. -Then He felt unconscious over the pillow.  Great, There was not any other place to lay her head just besides that hot and annoying guy. She took of his shoes, his knifes and laid down besides him.  It was going to be a very very long night. 

Darius had fever and a mist of sweat was covering his body.  She took some clothes and fresh water to help him. Again, She had left her healing necklace back in her room.
