I looked up at him; his eyes grew wide for a moment before a wide smile formed on those tempting lips of his.
“Hope.” The way my name rolled of his tongue made my heart skip a beat as I smiled back at him.
“Azriel.”
We stood there for a moment before he sighed.
“I’m sorry on Daniel’s behalf. I know lying is one of our pet peeves.”
“I get it. But, I will tell you that Daniel has to make up his mind of what he wants from Makoto which includes Midnight. Just because she’s a spirit now, doesn’t mean her acceptance of him doesn’t count. Mako takes Midnight’s opinion seriously and somehow Midnight’s feelings affect Mako’s mood the strongest compared to all of us. There are just so many unanswered questions that are collecting in her mind and we don’t have time to answer them till we get back to Heila. If he can’t share what’s troubling him, he should not assume Midnight will be as forthcoming with hers.”
As Mako’s spirits, we knew her and Midnight’s likes and dislikes. Some may alter here and there, but trust was something when lost, would be difficult to earn back. They may have been lenient to Eli and Elias, but I doubt the same treatment would be given to Daniel.
“I understand.”
I was ready to leave but a question popped into my head.
“Are...you still interested in me?” I asked hesitantly, my voice low as if I sang a sad melody.
We’d barely seen each other, let alone had time for a long conversation, having only a few minutes during Mako’s and Daniel’s morning hair sessions to come out and say hello. I enjoyed his company and little quotes of wisdom. But with everything happening with our hosts, I worried he too wasn’t confident in whatever was brewing between us.
His hand wrapped around my waist, pulling me against him before his other hand lifted my chin; those tempting lips pressed against mine.
I moaned as we deepened the kiss; my hand pressed against his bare chest, wanting to feel his muscles. He pulled away, chuckling.
“What?” I questioned as I tried to stabilize my rapid breathing.
“I’d love to devour those smooth lips as I pin you to a wall, but an annoying dragon shifter is nagging me that you’re late for their date.”
“Oh snap! I better get Mako.” I was ready to call out to her before his grip tightened around me. I looked up at him in confusion.
“You get distracted like the Princess.”
“I do not.” I argued before realizing I’d lied, his eyebrow inching up.
“Ugh. Fine. A little.” I confessed.
He placed a kiss on my cheek before inching away slightly.
“I’m very interested in you, Hopefilinia. Till next time.” He pulled away, bowing before turning around and walking away.
“He’s confident in his love for you,” Midnight mentioned quietly.
I know...and dangerous to be around too long. I wouldn’t be able to ignore any request he presented with that seductive, melodic voice.
I glanced at the standing mirror to my left, seeing my flushed face. I groaned.Fudge.
“Dangerous indeed,”Midnight concluded.
CHAPTER32
Makoto
“Is this a bicycle? Like the song from Queen that you want to ride?”
I stared at the metallic blue and silver contraption with immense fascination as my hand reached out to touch it; the cool metal made me shiver with anticipation.
“It’s a motorcycle. You can ride it just like the bicycle from the song, but it has an engine like Matthew’s car. So, no need to pedal our way fifty kilometers to town,” he explained.
