The Reaver Chronicles: Raphael (Book 2)

Chapter 5

Chapter 5

I was right, the week had dragged on and on, seeming as if it were never going to end. I was looking forward to my meeting with Blaze, but more importantly I hoped I could get another glimpse at Haven. She may have been insane in my dreams, but it almost made me want her more.

I honestly had no idea what type of person she was. I had seen her one time for what seemed like three seconds. Definitely not enough to make a character judgment.

I materialized at the clearing where I was to meet with Blaze again to finalize our deal. The regular line of Necromancer Soldiers appeared and stood at attention. A few moments later the two in the middle moved out of the way for the King to come through.

“Ave reginae ad omnes.” They all chanted in unison. Wait, all hail the Princess? I needed to work on my Latin, that was for sure, but I was sure that was what they just said. Just then Haven appeared walking through them into the clearing. Blaze was nowhere to be found.

My god she was beautiful. She was wearing a pair of high waisted shorts that were black and a black crop top hoodie with a skeleton hand flipping me off on the front. Her hair was falling in waves down to her ass, same as last time, and she was wearing dark makeup as well. A fitting outfit. I thought, and I couldn’t help the dirty thoughts that started swimming through my mind. I fought to gain my composure as she approached me.

“Haven.” I said as I bowed deeply. “Raphael.” She replied. Her angelic voice sent chills down my spine. “Where is your father?” I asked her. “He was caught up in some other business, so he sent me instead.” She said back, matter of factly.

“Well, ok then. I have proposed the conditions of our agreement to my coven Priests. They have agreed in unison, and we are ready to deploy our troops to your lands. It’s your call, Princess.” I purred and we locked eyes. I could see something flash through hers, what was that? Annoyance, hatred, or desire? Maybe a mix of all three?

“You may proceed. I would suggest you stay within our guest quarters for the first week to ensure your troops do as they are instructed. This will provide a seamless transition for both my people and yours.” She suggested.

I thought about it for a minute. Staying in their guest house huh? And who’s idea was this? Blazes, or Havens? Either way, I wasn’t about to pass up an opportunity to get closer to Haven.

“I will take you up on your offer, Princess.” I said with another bow. I swear I could see excitement flash through her eyes, although her face remained still. “Let me return to my home to pack, and I will return here with my soldiers in 1 hour. Once we get them settled you can show me the guest quarters?” I questioned.

I saw a slight smirk form on her face at my question. “I will see you in one hour. Do not be late.” She purred with a wink that only I could see. “I wouldn’t dream of it.” I purred, then I materialized at home.

I quickly threw together a few things. I honestly didn't even need to pack. Being a Reaver, I could materialize anything I needed or wanted. I decided if I was going to be staying for a week, I may as well have some of my own things that I'm used to. Once I was done, I went and gathered my troops who were to be the first patrol, and we headed out.

My troops couldn't materialize on their own, never having been there, but I was able to materialize there first allowing them to just materialize to me. We appeared in the clearing where Haven was already waiting. I didn't see the lineup of soldiers, but I was sure they were there, just invisible.

Haven took each soldier and explained where they were to go and what they were looking for. She gave information to them regarding her lands and previous threats they had encountered.

Us Reavers rarely have a threat or anyone messing with us, but the Necromancers weren’t so lucky it seemed. It made me wonder just what was going in with their lands in order for their King to agree to my alliance. It must have been something pretty bad.

Watching Haven, I was impressed with her leadership skills. She seemed to be just an extremely pretty face, but it was now clear that she was a leader as well. My men, no doubt, were as intrigued by her as I was. It was hard not to be, and they listened to her every word treating her as if she were the King himself.

This alliance was built on respect… At least from our side. The Necromancers seemed to have a different view since they didn’t even want our help to begin with.

Once Haven was done directing the troops, she made her way back to me. I watched as her hips swayed back and forth, arms swinging to the sides as she walked over. I just wanted to pounce on her, but I kept my composure.

“This way.” She said, as she took my hand and we walked towards the tree line. I couldn’t help but get dejavu as this was just like my dream. I didn't care what she did, I wasn’t marking her and that was final.

We got into the trees where I was sure we were alone, when she turned around to face me. “Don’t get any f*****g ideas, Reaver. My daddy would have your head on a pike so goddamn fast.” She spat, poison filling her words. I smirked, but I could tell she was interested. She was trying to see how far she could push it apparently.

I closed the gap between us with one step wrapping my free hand around her waist and pulling her into my chest. We locked eyes and I could see fear and arousal flash through hers. Our faces were only inches apart. I could hear her heartbeat quicken and she sucked in a shar breath at my advance.

“Non satus ludos non potes consummare.” I growled in her ear. Telling her not to start games she can't finish in Latin. I released her hand which was still intertwined in mine and used my thumb to touch her bottom lip softly. I felt her body shudder underneath my touch. Good girl. I thought.

She seemed annoyed that her body reacted this way, as if it betrayed her. Then I let her go and stepped back. “Now where were we? Oh yes, heading to the guest quarters.” I said with one eyebrow raised.

She regained her composure, shot me a deadly glare which turned me on even more, and turned away from me heading deeper into the forest.

I followed her for quite some time it seemed. At one point Haven stopped and turned to check if I was still there. I raised my eyebrow at her, she rolled her beautiful green eyes at me and kept going. This should be fun… She’s going to play hard to get.

Little did she know the game was the best part. I knew she wanted me though. Her body gave it away at my simple touch.

Don’t try anything? Ha! I fully planned on doing just that.
