Rise of the Darkness

CHAPTER 08

(Flash Back continue)

Ethan came back to her bedroom, he looked at Calla's sleeping figure, she was looking more beautiful while sleeping. He went to the couch and threw himself on it. He laid down on the couch, he was hell tired by now. He hadn't fed in weeks, he was busy keeping Calla safe. Because of not feeding on human's blood he was a bit weak, he was using too much of his powers, practicing new spells, also using different spells for Calla. He needed blood to get back to his full strength. He sighed, a yawn escaped his lips. He closed his eyes.

Just then he heard a whimper, "Daddy." It was nothing for a normal human ear but Ethan heard it loud and clear. He opened his eyes and looked at Calla. She was still asleep but she was having a nightmare. She called again, "Daddy." Tears rolled down her cheeks and he smelled fear with sorrow. He got up and went close to her. She was shivering in fear and was struggling. He got closer and a punch made its way to his cheek. She was throwing punches in her sleep. She was a human but she hit hard. Now she was out of the comforter, he gulped hard when his eyes landed on her creamy white thighs. Another punch was about to strike his other cheek when he grabbed both of her wrists and held them above her head. Her nighty was short, it ended till her upper thighs, it rose even more when he held her hands. Her creamy thighs we're now fully on display for his eyes. She tried to pull her hands out of his hold but he was strong, he didn't let her go.

She opened her eyes and looked at the strange man again. He was so close to her, his hot breaths were fanning on her face. She looked straight in his eyes. Her soft thigh rubbed on his jeans, only then she realized that she was in her nighty. Her cheeks turned pink as she tried harder to get her wrists free from his tight hold, but failed. Seeing her blushing face he smirked. He looked so hot with that smirk on his face. She tried again to free herself and whispered softly, "Please let me go." Her voice didn't do any good for him. His heart started beating fast and his breaths got heavy. He held both of her wrists in one hand and with the other he pinched her chin softly. He leaned down and pecked her lips.

Her eyes widened in both surprise and his sudden kiss. He again pecked her lips and this time she couldn't resist anymore. He kissed her and she kissed him back. Both of their lips were moving in sync. He nibbled her lower lip lightly, asking for entrance. She parted her lips, his tongue slid into her mouth, devouring every corner of her mouth. She moaned in his mouth and he caught the smell of her arousal. He smiled and let go of her wrists.

She quickly intertwined her fingers in his soft sandy blonde hair. Tugging them hard as his tongue moved in her mouth. It was the first time he had tasted her mouth and it tasted just like berries. He broke the kiss when he felt she was out of breath. She gasped loudly for air, breathing heavily she looked at him. His eyes were glowing in blue color, just like the pendant Sophie gifted her. He cupped her hips and with an easy pull, she was sitting on his lap. Her legs were wrapped around his waist. He wrapped one arm around her waist and with the other hand, he cupped her neck and leaned down. He kissed her neck and she bit her lower lip to block her moans. He licked her earlobe and whispered in her ear seductively. "I want to hear your sweet moans, let them out." He again kissed her neck but she again blocked her moans. He nibbled lightly on her sweet spot and a loud moan slipped her lips. He smiled, mentally patted himself for his victory. He kept kissing and nibbling her neck, her cheeks, her collar bone and ended up on her lips again. But this time he let her go after a few seconds.

She was feeling so hot that she stripped off her nighty and threw it on the floor. She was only in her undies, still on his lap. He didn't look down at her almost naked body. Instead he cupped her face and looked in her eyes until she was hypnotised. He brought his lips close to her ear and whispered. "This is nothing but a dream. You just had a dream. As you will fall back asleep, you'll forget it all, like it never happened." With that he pecked her forehead and made her lay back down on her bed. He pulled the comforter over her body and sat beside her, holding her hand. He told her to close her eyes and she quickly obliged. Soon she fell in her deep sleep. He laid down beside her and also drifted off.

He woke up earlier than usual. Sun was starting to rise. He stretched his arms above his head and yawned. He looked at Calla who was sleeping peacefully. Her both arms were around his waist, holding

him close to her. He stroked her cheeks lovingly and kissed the top of her head. He unwrapped her arms, carefully. He didn't want to wake her up. He got up and looked at her for a few minutes. He then settled the comforter over her body again and went out of her room.

He went to the kitchen, filled a glass with water and downed it in one go. He washed the glass and placed it back on the counter. He looked at Calla's room door one last time before leaving the house.

She took a few deep breaths to calm herself down. After a few minutes, she felt better. She got up and went to the kitchen where Ethan was washing dishes. She sat on the kitchen counter folding her legs on it, she stared at his back. After a good few minutes he broke the silence and snapped her out of her thoughts. "You know, it's creepy to keep drooling over someone like this." Her mouth hung open in surprise, and her cheeks turned pink again along with her nose. He turned around and walked to her. Still smirking, he looked at her and she narrowed her eyes in embarrassment.

He chuckled and spoke to her. "Don't you have work to do?" She looked at him again then shook her head.

"I'm not going, not until I find Sophie and bring her back home safely." He sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose.

He then cupped her face and replied in a soft tone. "Calla, I know that you love her so much and willing to give up anything and everything for her. But staying away from your work will make the others suspicious. We can't afford that. You need to go back to work, do it as you do usually. Then, you'll come to me in the evening. Then I will train you and tell you everything you need to learn before we get out there to find you niece." She took a deep breath, knowing that he was right. She nodded her head and gave him a small smile. She jumped off of the kitchen counter.

He scooped her in his arms and spoke to her. "Do you trust me?"

She didn't take a single second to think and replied to him. "Yes, I trust you." Hearing her answer he smiled and said.

" Then close your eyes and don't open it until I tell you to open them back." She quickly nodded her head and closed her eyes.

It felt like a few seconds when he told her to open her eyes again. She opened her eyes and looked around. She was now standing in front of her house. He gave her a smile and was about to leave when she held his hand and spoke again. "Hey, I still don't know where you live. How will I find you in the evening?" He turned around and said with a smile.

"Just come back here, you'll find me here." She narrowed her gaze and spoke again in a sad tone.

"Looks like you still don't trust me." He guided her gaze back on his face and spoke. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

"I can't do that, I do trust you but you can't know way to my place. Not until you know everything about us, you know what I mean?" She gave him a small smile and nodded her head. He left her and she made her way into the house. She unlocked the door and went in. But only to be welcomed by the whole place fully trashed. Without thinking for a moment, she screamed a name at the top of her lungs.
