CHAPTER 13

1026 Words
MAIA'S POV I was hesitant to kiss him back at first, but now I guess I couldn't ignore him anymore. I used to adore and respect him. I used to love him and his body do turn me on. He said we should forget last night.... perhaps I should trust him this time and accept that dark and devilish side of him as an occasional personality. I kissed him back, and his deepened the kiss that brought fresh memories of our first night. Riot was a good kisser and for a slipt moment, I wonder if he could treat Ayra this way. He released my hand and pulled me away from the wall through the kiss, guilding me forward.... until I got to the base of the table and he stopped so he could place me on it. Before he could resume, I stopped him. "Riot..." "Let's live for this moment Maia" He whispered and kissed me hurriedly again. I took his lips in and the kiss developed well, — well until I felt his hand on my breast. My heartbeat Stopped for a while, but I adjusted to his gentle touches as he pressed on it softly through my bra and subconsciously, I was loving it, it was getting into my head and I didn't know when my hand found his hair. I ruffled as he kissed me more deeply then he suddenly stopped, the color on his eyes had changed to something else and he was breathing erratically fast. "May... I want more of you..." he demanded still breathing very heavily. I became speechless. Do I accept his advances or yell at him to get off me? "Riot...we can't do this, I'm just a replacement for Ayra" I finally found what to say and admonished him. He'd dropped his hand off my breasts. He hughe my waist. "I fell in love with you, Maia. I love you and not Ayra. If I knew you were a princess at wildflower, I would have just demanded you straightaway." "But still...." I love him very much. Now, I see the Daddy M that I fell in love in him, but I still don't want to bet on him too much. Perhaps it wouldn't hurt if I just.... I leaned in and kiss his lips. "Why did you keep getting mad? Look at what happened last night and at our house after the wedding? Riot... I'm not comfortable with loving you either as Daddy M or as you" Hearing this, he pulled away, his expression now turned ashen. "I have no explanation" My heart fell in disappointment. As if I knew he would say this. "What about the war..... What's the real reason behind it? Consider the love we both developed before we came up to this level Riot?" "I don't want to talk about it Maia. You can forget my offer of peace then" He said ruining my mood totally. I wished I could wack his face really hard. But I gritted my teeth tried my very best to keep calm. Keeping calm wouldn't hurt. I got down from the table. "Is this room only training? why are different pictures here? including my parents...." "Stop questioning me because I kissed you!" He cut me of strongly. "You said it yourself that you were a substitute. So stay that way!" I was totally astounded at this new attitude and new pattern. All I could do was just to open my mouth in shock as he continued. "I tried making you blend to my life. But you're just like all of them! You judge me too" These words made me feel as if I've done something wrong even though I was just trying to ask him calmly. "Riot I wasn't fighting with you." "You were!" He snapped back. "I said don't ask me any questions...just go with the flow" I closed my eyes and clenched my fists. He wouldn't listen and answer my questions. Perhaps going with the flow and watch things unfold itself is the best way to tackle him and break through that wall of secret. "I...I'm sorry. You dont have to always get angry. I need time to adjsut to you..." I stopped. His back was still against me and the way his brathing slwoed down showed that he was also calming down. "I..I;m alsory sorry:" "Just as he said that, his phone rang. I used the opportunity of when he was picking the call to look around the room but he ended the call just immediately after saying. "Don't call me anymore" I wondered whose call it was that he doesn't want to pick but I didn't press him for question. "So what are we having for breakfast?" He turned towards the door. "Bella handles the household. I don't know what she's gonna give us today... we shall see" We left the room while questions still linger in the air and I would'nt ask because i'd now understood that to catch a monkey, you have to be a monkey too. We got to the living room, and the maid had prepared croissant sandwich plate and yogurt parfait glass. I wa happy because I had'nt eaten anything expensive as this lately. Riot sat beside me. "This is my first time of sitting around the table" he said. I was surprised. "You don't eat breakfasts?" "No. Luna Gloria and Theo nimally send me food that was always duing trainning and that too, with the boys" I felt pity for him again. He suddenly looked like a babyboy that needs help. I reached out and patted his back. "As from Dinner today, I'll handle your meals" He smiled in agreement and I must say I love his smile. Just as I was about to dig into the dish, I got a call from Adam. I picked gingerly. "Hey Adam..." "Maia, we're in trouble" He said urgently making me drop the fork immediatly with a gasp. "What happened?" He was hesitant and I could hear Dad's voice in the background. "Don't trouble your sister" "Talk to me, Adam what happned?" "It...its Ayra" He spoke finally. "She had heart seizsure"
