The Danger I want

The Danger I Want Episode 2

Nalia's Pov

My vision blurred and the next thing I knew everything went dark.

I woke up on something soft and familiar, my bed. A blanket is pulled up to my chin, my head pounding... for a second I just stared at the ceiling and it all came back to me, The cottage. The private room. What I was doing. Him.

I quickly removed the blanket to check myself and I am relieved to see that I am fully dressed in my graduation gown and the only thing bothering me is..... How did I get home?

I rush down the stairs looking for Reno, I was close to the sitting room when I heard voices.

Reno's laugh -his terrible, humourless jokes laugh..... and another voice. Deep, calm, way to confident and then it hit me.... it's the voice from the cottage.

I stop at the bottom of the stairs and lo and behold there he is, sitting in my sitting room like he owns the place, talking to Reno like they've been friends for years. Reno hasn't seen me yet, he's so concentrated in whatever they were discussing and he seems to be having a good time cause he's really smiling.

I froze. Part of me wants to run back upstairs, I just don't think I can face him.... I'm all too embarrassed....ohhhh goshhh.

Reno finally turns and sees me just as I was making my way up the stairs.....oh boyyy

"Nalia, come here" he says in a joyful tune, only if he knows what's going on in my mind. I turn and decided to take small steps towards him "You're up, are you feeling better?" my elder brother asks me and I honestly don't want to answer, I don't even want "Him" to be here.....I just wish this is all a nightmare, I'm stressing so much in my head that I feel like crying "Nalia, are you okay" my brother says again and I just nod.

"This is Cassian, he found you unconscious in the cottage and brought you here, thank goodness your ID was in your purse and what were you doing in the cottage and how did you even faint" my brother bombarded me with questions at once. I look up about to answer when I mistakenly glanced his way and our eyes met and that same smirk from before was there.... again.

Cassian’s POV*

I wasn’t supposed to be in that cottage.

Old buildings like that pull me in. Quiet. Empty. No one around to see a guy who doesn’t cast a reflection. I was just checking it out, killing time before sundown. The garden had gone wild, the roof was half gone… perfect place to think without the world buzzing.

Then I heard it. A sound from inside. Not loud, but enough to make me stop. I moved closer because something felt off. The air was thick, heavy. Not normal.

I pushed the door open and there she was doing something a man supposed to do to her and for some reason I was angered, she didn't even realize someone was in the room. She kept going faster with so much delight and pleasure and for a second I hated the fact I wasn't the one to make her feel such. I watched her with so much heat in my eyes as her breasts keep falling and rising, I've seen many naked women but her body was a beauty to behold and I could feel my manhood hardening.

I told her to "Carry On" purposely allowing my presence known. Just then I realized something, something is wrong with her...her pulse was so wrong and strange and just then she collapsed.

So I did what I had to do. I picked her up, checked her purse, her ID. Found her address. The rest was simple: get her home, get her brother involved, make sure she’s safe.

She knows I saw everything. Maybe I love the fact that she does. She wakes up - embarrassed, angry, terrified all at once.

Reno trusts me too fast. People always do when I keep my voice steady. But Nalia… she looks at me like she knows I’m lying about something. She’s not wrong.

I’m not here by accident. I’ve been watching Prince Hood Academy for weeks. Something’s been stirring there, and Nalia showed up on my radar the second she stepped on campus. Finding her in that cottage just sped things up.

Now I’m sitting in her sitting room, answering Reno’s questions, pretending I’m just a Good Samaritan. But the truth is, I can’t leave. Not until I figure out why her scent hit me like a warning the second I walked in.

Something is wrong. And I won't walk away.
