❤️ My Hostage (Part 8) ❤️

Gwen opened her mouth in shock as she heard those words. She saw pleading in Morgan's eyes when she looked at him, like really looking at him with unbelievable eyes.

"Get out of my son's room who.re. Whatever you and Storm had planned it won't work." Empress Rose told her.

"I was already leaving before you came," Gwen said and made to move before she stopped and faced Morgan. "And Morgan, you are the one beating around the bush, not me." saying that she left the room, barging the door very hard and was very satisfied when she heard the angry voice of Empress Rose.

"Mother that is enough," Morgan said when she continued insulting Gwen. "The girl is out of my room so stop wasting your breath."

"I don't know why she keeps coming to you when clearly you don't want her or is she forcing herself on you? Do you like her son?" Empress Rose demanded.

"No, I don't like her mother. Why are you here?"

"Oh nothing, you just left the meeting room without saying anything."

"About that I don't know what you expect me to say when clearly Storm is the one leading and not me."

"Then you don't have to give him a chance," Empress Rose said. "Read his step to know his next move, I mean study him so that before he talks you will say it before him."

"Mother, did you not see what he did to that guy that came with Juno? And let me remind you he didn't even touch him but yet he put him in pain."

"I saw that son and that's why we need to be careful, the years have gone by us and so does Storm. He is not that timid Storm we all knew back then."

"Thank you and now you are asking me to study, him. To study Storm. We've provoked him countless times and still yet he didn't do to us what he did to that guy in the meeting room."

"Maybe he is counting our insults and will unleash it at us when we least expect it," Empress Rose said. "I never thought Dean would even think of Ashland and to send those two to us, something must be going on."

"Don't tell me you actually believed those words Juno said back then?"

"No I did not, I know she was lying."

"Like Storm said, she is skilled in sword fighting and so is her colleague. Now the question is why are they here?"

"Probably give them a few days torture and they will spill out the beans. I thought we are going to get some information from them but we are still in square one."

"Storm was being gentle with Juno but hard on the other man. If only I can get Juno privately to myself I am going to torture her and make her spill the truth."

"I can arrange that Morgan without Storm's knowledge."

"Good, once you get her alone, you can tell me."

"I will soon. And please don't fall for that nobody, she is not in your class. A pig will always be a pig," Empress Rose said. "And besides if you want a woman I can easily get that arranged from a well known respectfully home."

"If I ever need one, I will let you know, mother." Empress Rose nodded her head and left her son's room. Morgan held his head. He has spoilt his chances with Gwen. But she will forgive him and understand him.

**************

Storm didn't know where he was going until he reached a wall, the eastern part of the Palace, and with his anger, he threw a punch at the wall which collapsed. He stared at the guards guarding the eastern part and they all scrambled away from his gaze, leaving him alone. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath when he opened it, the collapsed wall was as before, not a single scratch on it.

"What is it, Storm? What is bothering you?" Rumi asked as she approached Storm.

"Why are you here?" Storm asked instead.

"I saw how you ran out and I was calling you but you didn't answer so I decided to come after you," Rumi said. "What are you thinking, talk to me Storm."

"I am thinking about Juno," Storm finally said, not noticing the rigid body of Rumi when he mentioned her name. "I don't know why she keeps calling herself Kira when she is not."

"Juno died right in front of my eyes, Storm, that can't be Juno."

"She died in your eyes but not in my eyes and as far as I am concerned, that is Juno."

"Fine, let's assume she is Juno, what do you want to do?"

"I want her to remember me. I am not asking for much."

"And why is that?"

"I don't know Rumi. You are her sister, maybe there is something you know that can trigger her memory back, that can make her remember and my instincts is telling me that is Juno and my instincts don't lie."

"I brought you food, I cooked it myself. I just want you to have a taste to tell me if I really tried the food I cooked," Rumi said with a shrug.

"Food is not my problem Rumi."

"I can help you bring back her memory if you just have one bite from my food," Rumi said, gesturing to the big box in her arms.

Storm stared at her for a minute and then closed his eyes, soon two chairs appeared and he sat down on one of the chairs that was facing the other, though spaced a little bit. "Sit down Rumi," he said, pointing at the other empty chair.

"How did-when did-the chairs-" she was shock as she stared at Storm and the chair

"I am gifted and it came from my father's side, now sit down and tell me how to get Juno memory back."

Rumi smiled inwardly.

"I will tell you if you eat my food," she said as she sat down.

"I will eat your food, that's why I made us sit down," Storm said. "Give me the food." he added and Rumi rushed in opening the box and brought out meatloaves that filled a plate, it was hot and smelled nice, she gave it to Storm.

Taking the plate from her and the spoon, "Thank you," he whispered and quickly threw two meatloaf into his mouth, chewing it and nodding his head. "Nice taste. You cooked this yourself?"

"Yes I did, I cooked it all by myself without any help," Rumi said proudly and happy as she saw Storm eating her meatloaf. Soon enough the love spell is going to kick in and Storm will be so horny and hot to have her in his bed.

"You didn't bring any for your father?" Storm asks all of a sudden. "I will keep his own, it's delicious."

"Don't worry about his own, I will bring for him. I brought you this food so that you won't share it with anyone," Rumi said with a large smile on her face.

"Okay, so how do you intend to bring back Juno memory?" Storm asked and Rumi's smile fade.

Juno again. Why is he bringing up her name when he is eating her food that is lace with the love portion Sarah had made for her.

"There is somewhere she likes going, at the top of a mountain, the mountain that Is closer to the wall that separates us and the other land."

"Why does she go there?" Storm paused mid-way.

"She told me it was to clear her head when I asked her," Rumi said. "Continuing eating." she added and Storm did that.

"Okay, so that's all?"

"Not exactly, I will be the one to take her up to that mountain," Rumi said and brought her chair closer to Storm and when Storm didn't say anything she smiled. "I will talk to her alone."

"That's all?"

"No, there is one more thing. If I am able to bring back her memory there is something you will have to do for me."

"And what is it?"

"You will have to marry me."

"Excuse me?" Storm eyes her. "First of all move back you too close to me and then secondly, excuse me?"

"You have to marry me. You will give me your word that you would marry me and I will bring back Juno memories for you." Rumi knew she couldn't. She doesn't have any power to do that; she just wanted Storm to enter her trap she had set for him. If he gives her his word, then she will pretend to take Juno up to the same mountain that changes her life and then push her, no, kill her. something she failed to do years ago.

"That is ridiculous, I can't marry you. You don't even know what you are asking, I am not your type of man you are looking for. I don't see myself with someone until I die."

"You are just saying that because that is what you believed in."

"You don't understand me Rumi, the only woman I love who is my mother betrayed me and threw me into the wolves, but I am glad she did. If not I wouldn't have come this far. It's because of her betrayal to me that makes me not open up to anyone, especially a woman. So like I said before Rumi I am not the type of man you are looking for. I will disappoint you"

"Oh Storm, why are you so blind to the love that I have for you. I am in love with you the first time I set my eyes on you." I could have defended you that day if not that Juno was the first to defend you. The words refused to come as she stared at him. "Give love a chance Storm, give me a chance and maybe there is a reason why your mother did that to you."

Storm returns her stare, his emotions running wild. "Now that I am really looking at you, I didn't realize that you are beautiful," Storm said. "So beautiful."

Rumi's smile widened. Was the spell working?

Testing it out, she slowly ran her ten fingers around his face and they slipped lower to his chest and she leaned forward to steal a kiss. Their lips touched and it felt like she was flying when it turned into a bruising kiss and Storm's hands were all over her. She moaned loudly into his mouth and that made Storm growl and he broke off the kiss, staring into the eyes of Rumi he saw that he couldn't look away he was memorize by her eyes, instead he lifted up Rumi from her chair and made her straddle him as she began to rub herself on him, earning a loud gasp from him as he buckle in his seat to meet up with the thrust. Rumi started kissing his neck and her hands touching his chest, which he was denying her since, and then her lips finally and slowly found their way to his lips, to feel his bruising kissing once again, but before she could she kissed him again, a cough stopped her.

Turning to glare the fool that dared interrupt them as she opened her mouth to turn whoever it is to a bird but Storm was the first to react and he pushed her when he realized how close he was to her. He was carrying her on her lap and the mere sight of it irritated him.

Gwen smiled innocently at Rumi. "I hope I wasn't Interrupting anything."

Rumi stared Angrily at Gwen for ruining her moment with Storm. She stood up from the ground Storm had pushed her too.

Before Rumi would open her mouth Storm beat her to it.

"Get out of my sight. Now!" he shouted the words and for a split second Rumi thought she felt the ground shaking beneath her feet. But it must be from her head, maybe she imagined it because when she blinked and opened her eyes, she saw the smirking face of Gwen and the angry face of Storm and now no one needed to tell her that her presence was no longer needed here.

"I will see you soon," she said and hurried left them.

"What did my eyes just saw? You were kissing her? Kissing her?" Gwen said, still smirking.

"I didn't know what came over me. And to think I call her beautiful," Storm said with a grimace. "Though I won't lie she is eye-catching but she is not my type, that is if I was to chase a woman," Storm said as he saw the look on Gwen's face. "And wipe off that smirk it's irritating me."

"And I know who is your type and she is in the cell not too far away from us."

"Shut up."

"I still can't believe you will allow Rumi to kiss you, you will actually sucking out her tongue out of her mouth," Gwen said and fanned herself as she pretended not to see Storm cringe. "That was very hot."

Staring at the remaining meatloaves scattered around on the floor, probably they fell when Rumi straddles him. "I think she put something in this and made me eat it."

"You could have told her no. You and I know that she is dangerous with what she has displayed so far. How can she get you to eat her meatloaves and you did?"

"She told me she could restore Juno's memory if I eat her meatloaves and if I marry her. I decided to play along and then lost myself and if not for you maybe I would have done something that I would regret for the rest of my life."

"Yeah you have to thank me for saving your sorry as.s."

"And what about you?"

"What about me?"

"You were begging me to stop hurting Kando,"

"The only reason why I did that was because..." she paused. "Let's face it, who is going to call me Beautiful if he is gone?"

Storm smiled at that.

"And again your pretense of having only one gift will soon be blown. You know they think you are only gifted in metals like your father and with what you just did to Kando, in front of them and what you did in front of Rumi, they will be having double doubts by now."
