Chapter 13

LEILANI

When Zero slammed his lips to mine, I was shocked to the bone. My brain processed that he is kissing me but I was too shocked to move.

I kept my lips clamped together, my eyes wide as his lips plummeted mine. My senses was overwhelmed.

Then, I came out of my shock and started struggling to get free. I was scared, his lips were rough and hard to mine.

The way he growled as he devoured my lips, it's as if he expects more from me. I just don't know what it is.

He easily caged me with his chest, sterning most of my struggles, his hand on the back of my head tightened, his lips more demanding.

"Open." He pulled back a bit and groaned, before his lips dived back to mine.

Open what? My lips? I clamped it more shot, panic feeling my body and catching on my throat. He is making demands on me I know nothing about.

He bit my lower lip. I gasped in shock and he dived in. His tongue delved deeper into my mouth and overwhelmed my senses.

Unfamiliar feelings whirled up inside me. My breast started feeling funny, and I throbbed in secret places.

The feelings made me more scared and panicked and I fought the more against him, trying to pull free but he wouldn't let go.

The more I fought, the more demanding his kiss becomes, and when it penetrated my haze, I forced my body to relax.

With my heart pounding against my chest and my body throbbing, I went lax against him.

Suddenly, his kiss became gentle, his lips soft and coaxing on mine. It did more things to my body that scared me so much.

Finally, he broke the kiss and stared at me.

ZERO

That very beast of darkness inside me kept raging the more she fought to get free. She wants away from me and I won't fucking have it!

The more she fought my touch, the more it set me into a frenzy.

The taste of her had gone to my head like a rocket. She tasted just like herself. Pure and Innocent. So damn pure.

I took so much from her untried body, and yet I wanted so much more. More than she can give.

When I broke up the kiss and stared at her, I suddenly had this urge to quickly step away from her and apologize to her for stealing her lips like that.

She looked like a scared mouse caught in a trap. Panic was in the very air she breathed. Her lips looks all kissed and swollen, my already-hard cock was weeping in my goddamn jean.

I had this urge to apologize and that shit surprised me. Haven't had urge like that in a damn long time, I don't do fucking apologies.

Her lips is mine.

Her body is mine.

I will take from her until she has nothing else to give. The way I fucking want her, it's as if she beckons to every goddamn beast inside of me.

And I've got a lot of them beasts.

"So fucking beautiful." I groaned, running my dirty fingers through her soft beautiful pure skin. She shivered slightly, her eyes wide.

"P-Please, l-let me go." She breathed out.

She really looked like she would faint if I didn't. So, I stepped a bit away from her.

I curled my fingers into fists to keep from dragging her to me, shoving my fucking shirt she's wearing up, spreading her legs and feeding her my cock.

Immediately I stepped away, she saw the opening she needed and ran away from the room like her legs were on fire.

No more words were said between us. No words were needed.

But my fucking problems only compounded. Because now, I've gotten a taste of her and I want more. So damn much more.

And who the hell is a priest anyway? I couldn't help asking my motherfucking self again.

No matter, maybe I'll ask that asshole Morris. Bastard might know shit for once in his miserable life.

One Week Later

"Give her daisies. Women love it especially if you're apologizing. Fresh morning daisies will do the trick." I said with a smile as I held the daisy vase in my hands.

The man stared at it, looking relieved. "She'll really love it? I don't know what she likes when it comes to flowers, but I fucked up and wants to apologize. I read a book that says I should do that with a flower in hand."

I smiled harder at him. "The book says well. Daisies will be best."

"Alright, my dear, thanks. Please, wrap it up."

I wrapped up the flowers and gave it to him, I even added forgiving card to it before I handed it to the man. He paid and smiled at me in gratitude before he left.

Alone again, I went ahead to clean the flower vases from where I stopped. I couldn't stop thinking about Zero. I've thought of him for the past one week.

After that.....kiss, he had allowed me to go home, dress up and come to my store. He and Morris had drove me too. When I got to the store, he had made it clear that I should stay safe.

He had taken my phone and pressed his numbers into it. He told me to call if I ever see a suspicious person around, even if he isn't around, I should call.

I don't understand the man. One moment, he is scaring the very life out of me, the next moment he is making me feel very safe that nothing can touch me.

It's contradicting and confusing, but it is what it is.

So far, there has been no more threats and there has been so suspicious person around me and it makes me feel better and relaxed, after the attempt to my life a week ago.

Every evening I stare out of my window to that shade under the tree where his car always is, but he is not there.

I've not seen him in one week. I know it's supposed to make me feel happy, I just don't know why it doesn't.

Sometimes, I find myself staring out of that window for very long minutes. I don't know what is wrong with me.

I heard the doorbell ring.

"Welcome to 𝗟𝗮𝗻𝗶'𝘀 𝗕𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗪𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗲𝘀, what can I do—" The words cut off from my lips when I stared at three hefty mean-looking men.

Instinctively, I know they didn't come to buy flowers.

The first one went straight to the counter and took my phone.
