Chapter 796: Nine days

Alicia could feel it. She could also see it in his eyes. What he just said was the ultimate decision. No, a decision was actually an understatement. It seemed to be a purpose that he must fulfil at all costs. And no one... and nothing could change his mind.

Definitely it was because of their connection right now, but she just could tell for sure that he had been preparing for this his entire life. For so long, he had been waiting for this.

Like this had been his main goal in life all this time.

And it suddenly stung. Hard. And Alicia winced a little.

For a long while, they just stayed there, holding onto each other's gazes. Not saying anything, not moving and almost seem to be not breathing.

He was the first to give in and had his eyes flutter close. "Don't... " He choked out.

"Don't what?" Alicia asked him back, pretending not to know.

"Don't look at me like... that." he uttered in a breathless and a little tight voice.

She tried her best to swallow the lump in her throat.

"Are you... going to leave after nine days?" she asked him to distract herself before her emotions become a violent storm for him to withstand again.

"Yes." Just like her, he was trying to keep his calm as well.

"Why wait for nine days? There is something you must fulfil first, right?" Alicia was hoping he would voluntarily offer the information without her digging him for it. Though she would not push him to do it, she could hope.

He nodded. "Just like you, I am waiting for the day that these seven hundred years to be finally completed. And yes, you are right. I have something I must fulfil on that day."

"And you will take the thing you need from me that very same day, will you not?" She said it not in a questioning way because she was certain she was right about this.

He opened his eyes and stared at her. "Yes," he replied in a low voice. "Don't worry, I will promise you the thing I need from you won't be harmful to anyone. And I will give you my word, Alicia... nothing will happen to the witches."

"Are you.. included to that 'anyone'?" Alicia wondered out loud. She wanted to Imow this the most. Somehow, she felt that he was not included in it.

Ezekiel took a while before answering, "Yes."

Before Alicia could say the word 'liar', he seized her mouth. She knew he had seen it coming so he stopped her with the most effective way that he had known was possible. Damn you, Ezekiel... she could only curse him in her mind as she kissed him back, winding her arms around his neck as if to make sure he would not pull back from her anymore.

She knew he did not plan to go for a deep and long kiss. He had just planned to kiss her for a moment, just as a means of distraction. But she had grabbed onto his hair and tongued him, causing him to unable to pull back.

And before they knew it, they were kissing like there were no tomorrows. All restraints were shattered, and the quiet living room was quickly filled with the sounds of their wild and almost savage kissing.

She tangled her fingers through his thick and dark hair. His hands move liked a snake all over her body.

And they continued to devour each other's mouths.

"Ezekiel..." she moaned out his name into his mouth as she sucked in air against his lips. Why? Of all men in the world, why did this man awaken her womanly desires as no others had? Why did it have to be him? She had even managed to live without knowing this kind of desire... this type of want. But now... even after her death, she found herself wanting him. She could not deny it any longer. She wished so very badly that this could be chalked up to nothing but pure lust. She really wished this was just lust but...

If she were to be perfectly honest to herself, to just admit to that voice which was calling out from within her... she Imew it was more than just lust. Unfortunately. Or was it fortunately? She could no longer tell. All she knew was that she wanted him. And she wanted him so bad.

"Alicia..." she heard her own name being called by those lips and her body tingled, loving how erotic her name sounded in his breathless voice.

She pressed herself tightly against him and was about to seal that mouth of his again when he slipped his hand so swiftly between their faces and covered her lips. She was taken aback at his actions. He was breathing so damned hard as he looked at her with his fiery gaze. That gaze that could make even her entire soul melt.

"Don't... fucking don't..." he said harshly but she could tell those words were aimed towards himself.

But Alicia no longer had the will nor the reason to fight against her desires for him. Nine days... fine... she would take that and do whatever she wanted with him. To her heart's content. Because why not? She would end up disappearing as well after that! He would leave forever, and she too would be gone for good.

"Why? Is being intimate with me hard for you?" she asked him, "Am I being a violent storm damning you to death right now?"

"No, hell no! The truth is... doing these things with you makes everything calm again within me. Whenever we get intimate, everything else inside me settles down. That's why I always try to seduce you when you start getting angry and emotional." Ezekiel finally confessed.

"So this is because you're worried about me forming emotional and physical attachments to you...??" She threw the question out and grabbed onto his collars. "Listen Ezekiel.

You're too late, you idiot!"
