Chapter 109: A Pain So Spicy

The wind became more extreme as it poured in with more vigor after the sharp baritone voice that got me paralyzed. The familiarity, the tone, the delicious scent that hit my very nose when the wind whistled in, I felt my body revive by it, I felt a warm chilliness, I felt an unknown hunger engulf me, all my nerves and my brain tides in alert, I felt alive!

Like a frozen body I leisurely rose to my feet, my breath shaky and unstable and my heart hammering like it would fall off my chest, I was unable to stop my body from stirring with all this bust of emotions in one go, I couldn’t collect myself, I couldn’t think of anything else except turning to the presence behind me, my entire body screamed at me to do it, I felt a burning gaze burn me from behind, I felt my body pricked. Unable to handle the rush of feels, I twirled.

I locked gaze with the handsome werelion a foot away from me, my breath almost seized when I took in his features, I felt like I was seeing him for the first time and I got lost in his heavenly hazel eyes, they were more beautiful tonight.

I gawked at him like he was some painting piece at a museum to be admired by everyone. This was my first time seeing him in a suit and he looked simply breathtaking, well I have seen him but in a picture when he was still young, when I did my research, this was totally different than that.

He wore a dark blue suit with no tie, his jacket buttons left open to see the tucked shirt beneath which he left the top buttons undone so I got a peek of his smooth fair chest but it was just a glimpse that got me craving for more. I couldn’t stop myself, I couldn’t look away, I remained still even though I was shivering.

He gave me a look I couldn’t read but his eyes... His eyes were sad and filled with longing.

I think my heart gave a loud heartbeat for the world to hear when he took a step toward me, my breath became more piercing and my grip tightened on my purse I crossed. My chest rose and fell, It took just three steps and he was before me forcing me to tilt my head backward just so I could meet his eyes. The heat lurching from his very body depleted me, it shrouded me like I was in the midst of flames, and all the cold was gone in a split second.

But I jerked when I felt his suit jacket enveloping me and tucking me in making sure I was properly covered, when did he take it off?

"You shouldn’t wear such thin sleeves, the night is cold" he spoke in a tone overly matured right now, and it seemed like I was in a presence of a very old man but his youthful looks gave him away, Dace IS old but in a human sense, he was my age right now.

He pulled some strands of my strawberry blond hair behind my ear, I still kept my gaze glued on him like a lost puppy. Was this a dream? Was I daydreaming again like I have for the past few days? Was he really here, right now?

"A-A-Are you really here right now?" I said in a murky tone, I couldn’t even hear myself but he did because a breathtaking smile found his lips.

"Yes baby girl"

That was all the answer I needed and then I did something I never thought I would ever be capable of, because something sparked within me and before I could stop myself I did it. I slapped him across the face and the sound echoed in the area.

Fuck! Did I just slap a rock? My hand hurt so much that I was forced to rub it with a groan, my palm was aching.

"Emma" his worried eyes on me, even though I just slapped him, fuck, it didn’t look like I did any damage at all and it fumed me.

"You’re a jerk of a boyfriend!" I snapped drawing on my breath like I ran a marathon. "I-I-I called and called and called for days, I sent tons of messages, and you just..." I trembled. "I should have... h-have heard it from you and not Emilia, that you aren’t coming back, y-y-you-"

I gasped when he pulled me to his body with his strong hands on my waist, I felt my body burn and awaken once again, and it all found its way between my legs, I bit my lip. I was angry and hurt and yet I felt this way.

I slammed my forehead on his chest, using my fist on his chest, each hit hurt so much but I just kept doing it.

"I hate you, I hate you, I hate you!" I brawled at him and I felt him embrace me in a tight hug. I knew I acted like a child right now, but I couldn’t help it. "I hate you so much!" I cried. I couldn’t stop the tears anymore, it has only been weeks since I last saw him, and yet it felt like years, all the pent-up emotions were springing free right now and I couldn’t control them.

"T-T-This is the worst birthday ever because of you!" I sobbed burying my face in his chest, I noticed his body tense when I said those words and it was nothing but the truth. My birthday has always been my mom and I and I couldn’t have it any other way but this was different, I knew I had friends now and my aunt, enough love I never thought I would see but I had someone who made it even better, and without him, it didn’t feel complete it felt hollow, no matter the happiness I got from being with others, it wasn’t complete without him, without Dace.

"I’m so sorry"
