Chapter 24
THE KISS AT THE LIGHT HOUSE
ZARYA’S POVBelongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
I was sitting on the seashore. My feet were extended to the sand. My feet were touching the water. The scenery of the dim ocean was reminding of me of my family.
“Zarya, catch me! I get your make-up kit!” Zaiden was waving my pouch. His arms were stretched as he was showing me my treasure. When I was human, I loved putting on make-up, being beautiful, being a neck turner of every man who passed my way. We were on the beach at that time because we were celebrating my seventeenth birthday.
“I hate you!” I ran towards him, trying to catch him. I ended up failing. He threw my pouch on the ocean. I almost cried. He was not a good little brother. Annoying creature! I was about to sit on my knee to cry when he showed me a new pouch. It was full of my favorite make-ups.
“My gift!”
“This is ridiculous!” I shouted in so much happiness. I hugged him and kissed him on the cheeks over and over again even though he was pushing me.
“Your saliva is gross!”
I showed him how I was grateful for his gift while our parents were watching me, laughing together, and smiling. The contentment was written on their emotions.
“Can I sit?”
I looked up. I hurriedly wiped the tears on my face when Khal sat beside me. “Why are you crying?”
“I remember my family.”
“They must be so lucky to have you.”
“Nope. I was a stubborn child and a bitch sister to my little brother. So I disagreed.”
Khal chuckled a little bit. “You sound funny.”
“Am I not to Hali.”
He glanced at Hali who was annoyed with the barbeque that he was grilling. He was assigned to cooking which he was not good at. He is the Alpha King of Water. He knew nothing when it came to household chores. Good thing, Kastrid and Tan Tan was there to help him.
“Do you… like Hali?”
“No!” I immediately responded. “I won’t like him! Over my dead and sexy body!”
“Good to know.”
The awkwardness between us was deafening. The only sound that I could hear was the waves of the water. It was flowing to my feet.
“If I’m going to… court一” Khal’s words were stopped when Hali distracted us.
“Zarya!”
I adjusted my body to face my back. “Hmm?”
“Come.” He recklessly turned his back to us. I gestured to Khal that I would follow him.
“Go on.”
“Thanks.”
I ran towards Hali. I was like a tail, walking behind him. He looked annoyed for an unknown reason. How I wished he would lessen his bad attitude. I felt so annoyed, too.
“Where are we going?”
“Hell.”
“Nice talking.”
“Is that how you speak with your king?”
“I have no king.”
“You’re at the Elemental Kingdom unless you want to stay here at the Human World!”
I stopped giving my words to him. He was acting uneasy again. I knew where to speak or where was not. I would just harm myself if I continued annoying this asshole.
My feet were glued to where I was standing when I saw where were we. We were at the top of the Light House. I did not notice because I was marching, irritated with him. I slowly walked at the railings. My mouth was parted as I was viewing the scenery. My hair was flying backward. The wind was whispering to me that even on the darkest side of this world, there was light.
I could not move my body when Hali grabbed all my hair and fused it at my dorsal part. “It’s breathtaking, isn’t it?” He looked around as he was holding my hair. The light was rotating, reflecting at different sides of the place. My eyes were settled on Hali when it touched his face. The silhouette was perfectly fine.
“Don’t stare at me as if I’m the handsome man in this earth ’cause I’m not.”
I came to my senses. I removed my eyes from him. The surroundings were giving me hope.
“Why are you crying on the seashore? I said no crying did I?”
“I just can’t hold back.”
“Then, hold it back. That’s an order.”
The hush filled the whole area. I shut my eyes to feel the wind and smelled its freshness. Hali was not tired of grasping my hair.
After a second of silence, I was in shock when he pulled my hair towards him. Our lips joined each other.
“He never kisses anyone even me! He hates kissing!” Kastrid’s voice kept repeating to my head when he was moving his lips on mine. I was unconscious when I placed my arms on his neck and responded to his kiss.
Am I stupid? Am I crazy? Why the heck am I doing?
I don’t care. I just felt like doing it.
He removed his hands on my air. It was messy, flying all over, touching his face, touching mine, but that could not cut the kiss. His hands moved up and down to my back until it went to my curves.
Did I describe how slow the kiss was? How gentle it was? I would tell you. I felt something on that kiss that I never experienced with him before. He pushed me, going away from the railing. We might feel to the Light House when continued, so he secured me.
My back touched the lantern pane. He was about to pull down my panties when I stopped his hand. Well, I was just wearing swimwear with a robe even though I would not swim because we were on the beach a while ago.
“I have red.” I grinned at him.
“And?”
“Seriously?”
He shook his head. “Just a kiss.” His two hands cupped my cheek and fixed our lips together again. This one was a little rough. He went to my upper lip and then to my lower lips, sucking it. We both stopped when we heard footsteps going up. We separated our bodies when they arrived.
“I love the scenes!” Rozella came closer to me. “You didn’t invite me.” She wrapped her hands on my arm. To be honest, she was like a leech to me. She liked to enveloped her body to me.
“Sorry. It’s just Hali brought me here.” I could not look at Hali. I could still scent his sweet mint saliva in me.
“Buddy, you left the barbeques!” Froy leaned his arm on Hali.
“I think it’s not just a barbeque he left. Me either.” Kastrid talked with annoyance in her voice.
“Don’t be mad, Dear. Didn’t see? Hali and Zarya have a great damn scene.” Froy wiggled his eyebrow to Hali.
I guess he saw us.
