KIRA’S BEDROOM

Kira POV

I climbed out of bed to ease myself in the bathroom. On stepping out of the bathroom after I did my thing I saw a figure sitting on the single couch in my room. I quickly move to the switch and the light came on and I gasped in shock when I saw who the figure was. Darius! He was sitting on the couch with his leg crossed. His posture was stiff,his expression unreadable the sculpted muscles in his chest flexed as he stood to his feet and met me halfway. How on earth did he come in here without me sensing him? For how long had he sat in that coach watching me sleep?. Darius was here! He came back! I threw my arms around him for a hug,his large hands automatically claiming my h¡ps,his grip unmovable. My head titled up – his eyes met my gaze,his countenance far from cold. He was here to say his final goodbye! I figured that out from his expression. I don’t need any explanation from him concerning what happen at Zondael mountain it all gone now – the reason best known to him – and being the Sin of Pride it would be hærd for him to give in to my demands. I reached my trembling fingertips to his face, feeling the scruff textures long the hærd plane of his unshaven chin. I swallowed,working to speak around the lump in my throat. “I don’t know how to tell you…” I hesitated,struggling for words..mere words simply weren’t enough to convey the depth of my emotion. “…what you mean to me…” His voice low and gruff “Kira -” I cut him off placing a finger to his l-ips. Even if he had came back to me – Darius deserve a good note from me… I needed to at least try to explain. He deserve that..I continued “you saved my life.. You protected me, you kept me and cared for me” his arms tightened,his left hand curling around my wa-ist while his right hand slid up my back to the nape of my neck, his fingers tangling in my hair. “I can’t picture where I would be now if you hadn’t taken it upon yourself to find me and protect me. And I’m grateful you came back for a proper goodbye” His mouth opened but then shut again with a silent look of frustration,as though searching go his own words. Finally,rather than speak,his mouth came down to mine. I met him back,our l-ips moving gently. However, his soft k-ss soon turned dominant and fierce. His tongue swept across my lower l-ips,demanding what he wanted,entrance into my mouth. I gave it to him,feeling his tongue clashing against mine. He tasted like mint. I let him explore every s₱0t he wanted to. He teased and nipped at my k-ss bruised l-ips. I pulled his lower lip into my mouth,holding it between my teeth before s-cking on it earnings growl from him. He coaxed my tongue into his mouth once more,s-cking and k-ssing,drawing out my pleasure. His movement were rough,his fangs elongated and pricked my tongue,allowing the taste of my blood to flow into both of our mouths. A gro-n released from his chest, his hold on me grew impossibly tighter. I didn’t know how long I was locked in his embrace. Time stood still as he said everything he had to say all of his words,his thoughts and emotions were expressed in the k-ss. I heard them all. When he finally released me, I was breathing heavily. He seemed satisfied with my response but his hunger was transparent.. Darius was only holding back,simmering right beneath the surface. Releasing his hold, he stepped back and spoke quietly

“I will leave now” I stifled a sob “Thank you Darius” I managed to say. We both stared at each other for a long moment. His fist were clenched in restraint. This was it – finally he nodded,his eyes tight. “Goodbye” he said nothing else,his jaw locked as he turned and varnished. Saying goodbye to him had been h-rder than I thought it would be. The same thing had happened when I had to let go of my feeling for Matteo. Darius and I grew closer than I expected – we were thr-st together under extreme circ-mstances. I never could have imagined his kind of being as a caregiver. The one who didn’t let anyone destroy me..but no matter the events that led us together,my heart still belonged and would always belong to only one man – Max! I let my lungs refill deeply a few more times before walking back to my bed. I love Max that fact was irreversible..but even if Max were not in the picture…and I had fallen in love with Darius… Darius and I wouldn’t have worked simply based on who we were.. Especially Darius. I glanced at the s₱0t we had k-ssed taking in the memory and remembering Darius who I would likely never see again.

EPILOGUE

SEVEN YEARS LATER

AUTHOR’S POV

Max did look wonderful as he got out of the car and came up to the Hunter’s font door though, casual and comfortable in a simple flannel and a pair of good fitting dark jeans. The top hugged his broad shoulder and sculpted chest. “Good evening Mrs Hunter” he greeted Amy cheerfully. “Good evening Max” she answered. “Hi little man” Max greeted Kaleb giving him a high five. Kaleb was Kira’s younger brother the one with the fetus name Asher. Kaleb gave him a grin “hello”

” how you doing?”

“I’m good”

“Look what I got you” Max brought out a Candy from his jeans. “Thank you!” Kaleb said excitedly

“Kira! Max is here”

“Okay mom” she answered from the kitchen. A smile formed on Max’s l-ips when he saw kira. She opted in for a pair of Navy – blue p-nts and a white split V – necked T-shirt tucked into the them

“Hi love” she hugged Max

“Hello love” he k-ssed her forehead

“Are you ready?”

“Yes my love”

“Mrs Hunter can we?” He asked Amy and she chuckled

“Sure”

“Bye mom” Kira k-ssed her mom and moved to Kaleb “bye baby boo”

“Bye big sis” he waved and Amy shut the door. Max k-ssed her full on her l-ips immediately the door closed behind them

“You..look..good..my love” he whispered amidst the k-ss

“Same with you” Kira parted from him. “So where tonight?” She held his hand and they made their way to Max’s Limousine. He opened the door and she stepped in and he followed

“To the club Luke” he ordered the driver

“Club? Why club?”

“Nothing my love” he replied,his knuckles grazing her cheeks

“Look I bought something for you”

“What?” He reached for the bag in front of them and gave Kira a red rose from it

“This is a sign of our undying love,that proves to me that nothing is impossible. You’ve given me the chance to win your heart, now I know it fate or our destinies are one In The same my love” he k-ssed Kira’s cheek

“Thank you” she k-ssed the rose. “Uhmmm what else do you have in the bag?”

“Nothing” he lied

“Really?” He nodded and kira gave him a sad face. Max chuckled

“Were you expecting more aside the rose?” She hummed a response without looking at him. Max brought out a small box of chocolate

“Ta da!” He placed it on her laps and Kira laughed

“I know my present is incomplete with a chocolate..so I ordered the best my love” she opened the box and pooped a ball in her mouth

“You like it?”

“Of course my love!” Max laughed

“I’m glad you like it”

“Want some?”

“No I’m fine”

“Sure??”

“Yes my love♥”

LINTEL CLUB

Max held Kira’s hand in his as they stepped into the clubhouse. Kira body wasn’t used to the rhythms which echoed through the dark room where the colours danced vividly against the walls and ceiling. The vast amount of people surrounding Kira automatically created a pit in her stomach

“Don’t get nervous My love”

“Why are we even here?”

“To club” max pulled Kira to a side of the room. There she saw Lana,Kyle,Ruby,Luis,Elliott,Zanetta and Shirley who was her friend in college

“Hi girl!” They greeted. Kira stared at Max surprisingly

“Why didn’t you tell me we were coming to see them?”

“Sorry love it was meant to he a surprised”

“Surprise?”

“Let it slide sis..don’t nail him to the cross yet cause there are more surprises to come your way”

“What surprise?”

She collected the soda Shirley was drinking

“It a surprise we can’t spill it” Shirley told Kira

“Whatever” Kira rolled her eyes and they laughed

“I think we should hit the dance floor!” Lana scre-med at the top of her voice

“That’s a great idea!” Ruby added. They all stood up leaving only Max and Kira alone

“You don’t want to dance?”

“Dance? You know I’m a bad dancer…I know nothing in that aspect my love”

“Well I can help you tonight”

“No”

“You have to my love” Max collected the glass from her and dropped it on the table. He wanted her on the dancefloor facing the stage..then his plans would workout fine

“Please my love just this night” He pleaded. Kira hesitated

“If you don’t want to dance then let’s play our k-ss game”

“What? Out here?”

“Yes.. I don’t care about the people around you know?” He moved his face closer to her almost starting the k-ss game “okay I will dance”

“Good” he moved back and Kira stood and followed him to the dancefloor

“Loosen up girl” Shirley winked. Max large hand claiming her h¡ps

“What have you prepared?” She said to his mind

“Just something” he replied

“What?”

“I’m not telling you about it my love” he hugged Kira while a guy cane on stage.It was time! The music stopped and everyone grumbled

“Hello handsome and beauties” they all scre-med when they saw the star on stage. “If you are here with your partner and you’ll like to appreciate her by singing a love sing please raise your hands”

No one except Max raised his hands

“We have someone in the house!” The star said and they scre-med and clapped. Kira shot Max a confused look. He bounced the steps leading to the stage and Kyle,Elliot and Luis followed

“What are you doing?” She asked Max telepathically

“Just watch me”

“So who is here to confess?” The boys pointed to Max and the star jaw dropped when the light shined on their faces

“Hey guys! Max Torres is here in the building!” Girls scre-med and clapped when they saw Max.. Some brought out their phones to take pictures

“Is she here tonight?”

“Yes” he replied with a brilliant smile. Kira moved closer to the girls

“Can someone tell me what they are doing up there?”

“I don’t know” Lana answered

“I have no idea too” Ruby said

“How are you guys doing tonight?” Max asked and they scre-med

“I’m going to sing a love song.. Because we all know the pains a heart can go through and sometimes, the only thing you can do about it is to just sing” they all clapped. Three guys dressed in black outfit brought three guitar to the stage and uncover a drum set. Kira gasped when she saw a guitar with Max..she had never seen him playing that before or even sing

“I’m singing this song to you my love” he winked at Kira from the stage and she blushed

“Go! Max!” Her friends scre-med

He started singing while the boys played along with him. He sang “Mine” a song by Tatiana Manaois

“I wanna make you mine,

Take everywhere I go,

Never thought I will find,

Someone I could call my own…”

They applauded when he stopped singing… Kira thought it was over but it was just the beginning of Max’s confession

“Friends, I have just confessed my love for this beautiful woman” he pointed to Kira from the stage

“She is my soulmate, I love her with my entire heart. Nothing will ever do us any harm that will cause me to stop loving her…but now my love is hesitating – there should be no hesitation in love..right?”

“Yes!” The crowd scre-med Max came down from the stage and made his way to Where Kira was. “…only the desire to risk it all for the other…The desire to please and be pleased” he got closer to Kira

“Again I ask you,my love,be my missing puzzle Piece…” He brought out a diamond ring from his pocket and went on his kneels

“..without you I cannot be wh0le” she had turned him down two years ago cause she wasn’t ready to get married..Kira was so focused with her studies..determined to finish and obtain a master degree before settling down with Max

“You better say yes” those were the handful comments from the crowd. Max knew Kira would never dream of turning him down in front of an audience. Funny! Kira already made up her mind to accept his proposal. This is why they are called Star -crossed lover!

“I can’t seem to get enough of you – Kira you make me no longer lonely. I do not know what I would be able to do without you..you are my other half,the reason why I wake up every morning,the reason I fight for what I care for…please don’t make me wait anymore” he chuckled a little and Kira saw a tear roll down his cheekbone

“WILL YOU MARRY ME KIRA HUNTER?”

She smiled back at him

“YES!” She replied

The crowd scre-med as Max slide the ring in her finger. He stood up and hugged her

“You are my perfection. I am not worthy of you yet here you are…my perfect bride to be. I love ♥ you”

“I love ♥ you too”

His l-ips met hers followed by the best k-ss on earth!
