Her Burning Lover

BE MY BURNING LOVER

Raymond’s POV

We both were passed out until the next day. I slowly opened my eyes, looking everywhere to recollect what had happened and how much time has passed. I was in the living room on the couch. I sat up in a shock when everything that happened came to my mind.

I looked everywhere to find Susan and if she is ok. Then my eyes got stuck on a thin body lying on the other sofa. She has a thick blanket on her. It seems as if Mr. Johnson had kept us on the couch as he was unable to move us to our respective rooms due to his age.

I ran to her to have a good look. I removed the hairs covering her face. She is looking so peaceful while sleeping. No one can believe that this piece of softball was about to kill someone the previous night.

I caress her cheek with the back of my four fingers. She got the sensation of my touch and opened her eyes slowly. “Good morning, sleeping beauty. How are you this morning?” I asked when she gave a confused smile.

She held my hand, which was caressing her cheek “What had happened? Are you okay? Why am I sleeping here?” Tears were forming at the corner of her eyes and were ready to fall. I wiped the tears from her eyes.

“Don’t worry. Everything will be all right, and I will explain everything to you. Let’s get up and had some breakfast. After that, we will talk.” I gave a small kiss on her forehead and helped her wake up. Due to her transformation the other day, she had lost almost all her energy. I helped her get up and took her to the bathroom for freshening up.

“You get ready. I will be back after some time.” I told, and she nodded.

Susan’s POV

I went to the bathroom and saw that my tub is filled with warm water and some flowers and herbs to take my tiredness off. As soon as I closed the door, my legs gave up, falling on the hard floor, and I could not get up.

“What happened, Susan? Are you all right?” Raymond shouted from the other side. I had sprained my legs, so I was unable to stand up. I unlocked the door by reaching the doorknob, and Raymond rushed in. “I am okay. Don’t worry. I just sprained my legs.” I confirmed him. “Okay, let me help you.” He helped me get up, and I held the basin counter to stand. He opened my top, exposing my blue colored inner. “I can do it myself. I don’t want you to see me like this.” I resisted. “Don’t worry; I will not see you without your permission.” He promised and closed his eyes as a gentleman. He then undressed me and took me to the bathtub.

Then he turned and told, “Call me when you are done.” And then he walked away. I sat on the tub for almost 30 minutes. What had happened last night? Why was Bryan hitting Raymond? There were many questions I want to ask. Then I finished and went out of the bathroom, holding the walls.

I finished changing my clothes and waited for Raymond to come.

“Are you done?” Raymond came after knocking the door. “Yes. But I think I will make my breakfast here. I was unable to walk.” I told Raymond. But as soon as I finished my sentence, I felt I am lifted. Raymond has raised me in a bridal style. I wrapped my hands around his neck.

I can see the fine structure of his jawline, his flawless skin, and his beautiful eyes. It’s so mesmerizing that I couldn’t take my eyes off him. He kept me on the dining chair just beside his chair. The maids and the servants were back and brought breakfast to the table.

The beautiful aroma of the food made me more and more hungry. I immediately dug in the food and started eating without looking at Raymond. Soon I realized a pair of eyes are looking at me. “Are you not eating?” I asked him. “No, I am fine; you can continue.” And then I finished my food.

I had never had so much food ever. But something was different today. Is that because of the blackout? Ahhh… I have to ask about yesterday. I looked at Raymond, who was sipping his coffee and asked, “What happened yesterday?” Hearing my question, Raymond kept his cup on the table and looked at me.

He took one of my hands and told me. “Susan, there is something I want to tell you, but please don’t panic.” Hearing his words, my heart started sinking. “You know the burning man in your dreams, right?” How did he know? “It was me. I have been talking to you in your dreams.” After he finished his sentence, I laughed out loud, hoping this to be a joke. “This is a joke. You are making things up.” He cupped my face and took me out of the trance, “Listen to me what I am telling you. This is no joke. This is the reality of my life.” Then he narrated all the history about the curse and how he and Bryan are related and how she is connected.

It was so much for me to take in. Now pieces are falling on their places — the three days halting in Raymond’s house, his sickness, my sickness, my blackouts. I don’t know what I should do, so I sat there looking at the eyes of Raymond.

Raymond’s POV

I told her everything. I was no sure if she will still be with me, but I need to say to her. She sat there for a while and then suddenly stood up and went to her room. I ran behind her but didn’t try to stop her. She went to her room and locked the door.

I don’t know what she will do, what will be her answer. I even told her how she could be safe from Bryan and not get hurt. I have said everything that I knew about the curse. The only thing I can do is waiting for her answer. I stood at the door of the room for a long time.

After not hearing anything from her disappointment grasped me from all my sides. I turned and was about to leave when the door opened, and Susan jumped at me and kissed me in my lips. I was caught off-guard. We both fell on the floor. I was lying on the cold floor on my back, and Susan was on top of me, kissing me, finding ways to get inside me.

Her scent and taste were so sweet that I started responding to her kisses. I opened my mouth and invaded her mouth with my tongue to explore every corner of her mouth. I bit her lower lips slightly to gain a morn. We kissed there for some time and parted when we felt an urgent need for oxygen.

I looked at her demanding some explanation. “I will be your cure. I will be with you all the time. I want to be your lover, and you become my burning lover.” As soon as I heard her words, my heart started dancing. I hugged her tightly. Even the cold floor is giving a feeling of a warm cushion. I kissed her all over her face and then remained like that for some time.

“But to become your complete lover, I need to marry you because I can only be cured if we have sex.” I clarified due to which she blushed. “Okay, let’s do this.” She answered. Then I realized that we were just in a relationship, and I have to make her feel the love before marriage. In between, I have to tell my parents about my cure.

“Let’s take it slow. The first date for some time, In between, if you feel like changing your mind, then we can reconsider.” I gave an option. “I don’t think I will change my mind, but if you want that way, then it’s ok for me. Let’s date first.” She told me with a mesmerizing bright laugh.

 Then we got up the floor, and she grabbed her luggage to go back home, and I decided to drop her.
