I was well aware of what my voice could do. Although, it pained me so to feel as though I kept her at a distance; I couldn’t do to her what had happened before. I need to be careful with her. For so long she lived with someone commanding her every move, manipulating her emotions…I couldn’t do that, couldn’t risk hurting her that way.

No other words were exchanged as we laid there; my mind tried to calm after that vivid dream while my body tried to come down from its attraction.

Having the woman I lusted over draped across my body, didn’t help solve my internal struggle, but it calmed me.

It wasn’t long till her breathing slowed; her body relaxed in my arms. I sighed, kissing her lightly on her cheek before reaching out for the covers, tucking us both in.

I stared at the ceiling, my mind wandering – the image of Midnight’s face as she glared at me.

“Daniel. Let. It. Go. You know it won’t end well if you keep worrying about such things. Once we reach Heila we can talk with Mako and Midnight. Understood?” Azriel stressed; his voice gave off a hint of anger.

I closed my eyes, not wanting to answer him, but knew he wouldn’t leave me in peace to enjoy this quiet moment with the woman I cared dearly about but struggled to show my love.

Fine.

CHAPTER31

Makoto

Ipulled on the black leather pants, the sleek material glided up my thighs with ease as the gold zippers on the front pockets flashed in the sunlight that peeked through the window.

My hand pulled up the gold zipper, fastening the button, before I noticed the gap in the waist.

I sighed.

“You seriously have an issue with not eating. No wonder we were forced to eat three times a day or you’d be a stick,” Rose commented.

My spirits had been pretty quiet lately, relaxing in their designated spots in my mind and not commenting as often as they loved. With the addition of Midnight, I assumed they didn’t want to get riled up, not knowing how it would affect me.

I fastened the sapphire and black laced bra, adjusting it to hold my lady bits in place, the black rhinestones glittering.

Yes, I know. Eli and Elias aren’t feeling well and are resting so I’ll take some cookies before I go.

“Chocolate chip cookies aren’t food.”Midnight emerged from nowhere, startling Rose and me.

“Seriously Midnight, why can’t we sense you? It would be nice to have a warning before you jump in here,” Rose questioned.

“Don’t know.”

“Jeez. Maybe the library in Heila will have some history of your kind.”Rose mumbled before disappearing.

Heila library. Guess it wouldn’t hurt and cookies are definitely a source of energy.

“They make you hyper. That’s it,”Midnight retorted.

I pulled open my designated drawer, taking out the dark blue top. It looked more expensive, the V neck having a gold zipper while the sleeves were styled to be folded with a gold button holding it in place. It was giving me the crop top vibes, but an elegant version of the Earthala trend.

Do you want a cookie or not?

*Silence*

“I want three.”

I smirked before a giggle escaped me. Deal. Three hyper-inducing, chocolate chip cookies for Midnight.

“Thank you.”She disappeared before I could reply.

I was ready to put my top on when the door opened, my head turned to see Daniel walk in. My eyes scanned his body; water droplets dripped from his wet hair and fell onto his bare chest, gliding down to the black sweat pants he was wearing.
