❤️ My Hostage (Part 6) ❤️

"You are doing as if you like her, well do you?" Empress Rose asks her son Morgan.

"No mother, why would you think of that," Morgan said quickly. "Don't put me in the same status as her."

"You didn't want her to go with that assassin and may I remind you that she is working hand to hand with Storm who is after your father's throne. If you have feelings for that girl you better kill it before it grows," Empress Rose said. "No child of mine will settle down with a local girl who we don't know how many times Storm has slept with her."

"I have heard you, mother but that is not in my mind right now." Morgan lied. What his mother had said about Storm and Gwen might be true.

"Let's wait for them," Fred said. "Being in this room with him nearly suffocates me. And mother is right Morgan, that girl isn't your type."

Morgan glared at his brother and when he noticed his mother's stares, he turned the other way.

***********

Storm's Room:

Storm sat down on his bed, hands across his chest.

"What delayed you Gwen?" Storm asked, immediately his room door opened to reveal Gwen entering with Kando who seemed surprised when he saw him.

"Nothing, just that Morgan tried to stop me," Gwen responded and went to sit next to him. "What if I wasn't coming here?"

"I would have found you. I know you will be coming to this room with him and besides, I can't leave you alone with him."

Gwen smiled at that and placed her hand around his shoulder, Storm didn't do anything to stop that. They could hear the sound of water dripping.

"So tell me, where did you-"

Knowing what Gwen wanted to ask, he shook his head. "No way, I drop her not gently."

Kando cleared his throat bringing Gwen attention to him; he didn't like the way she was too close to Storm. Storm stared bored at him.

"What?" Gwen asked.

"I thought you were bringing me somewhere private where I can take my bath," Kando said, wishing it was him sitting on Storm's spot and having Gwen hands on him and not on Storm It annoyed him but he knew he couldn't do anything now. Now he has come to study Storm.

"If you think I am going to leave Gwen with you then you better think again. I only told her to agree to your request because she will be bringing you to my room and there is no way she is bathing you. I won't allow that. The way your colleague is bathing herself in there, that's the same way you will bath yourself," Storm said. "And if I were you, don't argue with me, just accept it." he added with a dark growl voice which was daring Kando to oppose him. And for reasons, Kando didn't. In fact being up this close had made him realize how the pupil and Iris of Storm each eyes are so different from one another. They look so familiar to him.

"What are you looking at, haven't you seen my face before?" Storm snapped at Kando who hadn't torn his eyes off him.

"You look like someone that I have met before." Kando answers truthfully ignoring Storm's glare. "Have we met?"

"Yes, in hell when I killed you." Storm smirked.

Kando returns the smirk with one of his own.

The door to the bathroom opens and Kira steps out of it wearing the same clothes she had worn. She was surprised to see the new addition in the room.

Storm stood up from his bed and leaned forward to Gwen's ear and whispered low for only her to hear him. "If he tries anything that you don't like you have my permission to beat the shit out of him."

Gwen giggled at that and nodded her head. Kira stares. Kando glare.

"Let's go, since you can stand on your own to walk inside the bathroom then your legs are okay," Storm said and no one needed to guess who he was referring to.

He left the room and Kira joined him.

"Are you fuc.king him?" Kando demanded once they were alone.

Surprise at his question.

"No and even if we are, it's none of your business," Gwen said. She couldn't tell him yet they had done it once....when they were drunk and Storm regretted it.

"It is my business Gwenevere. Everything about you is my business, Beautiful."

Gwen snorted.

"Aren't you bathing?" she asked instead.

"I am but my hands are tied, if only you can release the chains bounding my wrist then that will be much better."

"Keep dreaming of it until you grow old."

I want to grow old with you, beautiful.

Kando thought and then gave a shrug.

"Unless you want to bath m-"

"Don't even think about it." Gwen interrupted him. "I will be waiting for you here, do not take much time."

Kando regarded her a little bit before entering the bathroom Kira had exited.

*******

Strom and Kira arrived back at the meeting place.

"Now that she has had her bath like she requested, can she now talk " Empress Rose was the first person to speak. "We have been waiting."

"You are breathing and standing just fine, Empress, so waiting a few minutes more won't kill you," Kira said. "I am not going to talk until Kando is here so you are going to have to wait plenty."

"You this little brat....how dare you talk to the Empress of this kingdom." Empress Rose growled darkly.

"You know my hands are free now and with a sword I will slit your throat and intestines out with just one slic-" She didn't get to complete her sentence when she felt the cold metal around her wrists. She turn slightly to face Storm with a surprise look knowing fully well it was his doing. Earlier on when they came, Kando's hands were tied in chains but she wasn't, maybe because they thought as a woman she wasn't a threat like the male with her. "Just for you to know this chain won't stop me. You don't know who you are dealing with." her voice was deadly cold.

"Do tell Juno, who am I dealing with?" Storm asked.

"My name is not Juno. How many times will I repeat myself? I am Kira, Dean's wife. I don't know who the hell Juno is and I apologize that whatever Juno did that you should forgive, didn't I?"

Storm gritted his teeth in anger.

"Dean? Do you know him?" Empress Rose asked and Storm shifted his gaze to her. Feeling the fury coming out from his gaze as if it was peeling off her skin she quickly added. "Don't bother to answer it."

Kira's eyes were on Storm and at that moment Gwen and Kando quickly walked in. Kando was very quick when he took his bath. He could easily break out of the chains but push the thought down the back of his head. He was here on a mission and for now he will have to pretend he wasn't strong.

"And now that they are complete, can we carry out the interrogation?" Morgan said his eyes were on Gwen who went to stand next to Storm.

"Who is Dean?" Storm asked as he returned his gaze back to her.

"Seriously, is that what you're going to ask?" Kira said.

Moving closer to her until he has covered the distance between them, he leans forward until he can feel Kira's warm breath on his face invading her personal space. "Who is he?" he growled out the words and for a brief second Kira saw his white pupil and Iris turning red and she was engulfed with fear.

"He is the Emperor of the Kudarma Kingdom who sent us here." Kira didn't know when she blurted out.

"And who is he to you?" Storm asked with a dark low voice.

"He is my partner, we are a couple." Kira answers truthfully, breathing in his scent and trying hard not to sway on her feet.

His eye returning back to its original white, he left her and went to stand beside Gwen. "Carrying on Gwen, I am thinking," he said, closing his eyes.

"According to what you said, why would Dean send you both here?" Gwen asked.

"We were sent," Kando said slowly as he closed the distance between him and Gwen. He leaned forward, bringing his mouth close to her ear and. "We were sent to," he paused again. We were sent to kill the late Emperor of Ashland family and then I saw you and wanted to also take you with me after we killed them. He didn't say that, instead he said, "To know how beautiful Ashland is and believe me only one thing has caught my eyes." And I am not leaving without it. He nearly added but kept his mouth shut and instead he slowly licked her ear which made Gwen shudder and gasping out.

Kando smiled and then he groaned in pain when suddenly he felt his two ears being dragged downwards. His face came much closer to Gwen's own. Was she going to kiss him now? That thought brought a smile on his lips before he grimaced when Gwen twisted his ear.

"Regardless of how tall you are and all macho, if you try this again, I will kill you." Gwen said with all seriousness which made Kando believe she would carry out her threats and perhaps succeed because he can't fight her. "Nod your head if you heard me." Kando quickly nod his head and his ears were released and he was pushed back.

Morgan smiled inwardly, he was very proud of Gwen.

"Why would he ask you to come down to Ashland to check around instead of him?" Empress Rose asked. "His brother, my husband, died and he didn't come for his burial."

"We are sorry but we didn't know." Kando apologized.

"How could you not know even the ba.sta.rd son heard the news and came for his burial," Empress Rose said, staring at Storm to see if that would bring out a reaction from him but it didn't. He was still thinking.

"Don't you dare say that about Storm or else I am going to kill you and lick your blood and I bet you, you wouldn't like it."

"How dare this street brat talk back at me!"

"Shut up Rose," Storm said. "And I am not a bas.tard, you know my name and my mother." he added and this time around he faced Kando. "Do I look like a fool to you? Let's assume what you just said here is the truth. Then how come you and Juno are so good at fighting with swords? Well right from the day I met Juno, she is stronger but, I am just seeing you for the first time. And you and her killed a lot of guards before you were both caught so tell me why are you really here?"

"You can't force me to say what I don't want to say. You can kill me for all I care but nothing is coming out of my mouth," Kando said with a smirk and soon his eyes went wide as he fell down to the ground with his knees. Kando could feel the pain running through his body. It felt as if his blood was hot and boiling inside him. He made no sound even though he opened his mouth to scream. He felt blood coming out from his mouth and staining the ground.

He felt as if his blood was trying to burst his skin open.

"Shall we start from the top. Why are you here?" Storm asks but this time around to Kira.
