Chapter 97 Better than I imagined
“Turn on Enzo? He’s our leader, we can’t do that.” The other man said. He sounded as shocked as Doris felt. “We wouldn’t have to if he would act like our leader. He doesn’t think we should hunt down the very people he taught us not to trust, instead he prefers to protect them from us as if we are the enemy. I heard he was sweet on the prince’s woman, too.” William tensed beside her. Doris only wondered which villager had ratted Enzo out. If they knew Doris existed, what else did they know? “When should we make a move?” “Call everyone back in, we can plan it once we have everyone here. We have to hurry before he heads back to his palace and we can’t reach him. Hell, he might already be gone.” “Yes sir.” William let go of her hand and moved out from below the desk the moment he heard the main doors close at the end of the hallway. He crawled across the floor and slowly opened the door to see if anyone was still there. He closed it and gestured for her to wait. They kept silent for a few minutes more. When no one else came, he waved her over. Doris carefully crawled out from under the desk and went to him as quietly as she could. He held her hand tightly and she felt as if they were both holding their breath as he opened the door to the small office. The hallway was empty, he glanced around the corner before he pulled her after him. The larger office door was closed shut with the man probably still inside. Their steps were light as they hurried to the end of the hallway before he came out of his office and caught them. Once outside, they heard more voices rounding the corner and coming straight for them. William yanked Doris down the hall and pulled her into a small dark area. “Did you hear that?” One of the voices said. William pressed Doris against the wall and clamped his hand down over her mouth. She looked at him with wide, terrified eyes as the steps got closer. “I thought I saw something over here.” William removed his hand and hiked Doris up so her legs wrapped around his waist. He grabbed the back of her neck and slammed his lips against her own. His kiss was so rough and desperate, she almost forgot to kiss him back. Doris wrapped her arms around his neck and felt breathless as he stuck his hand up her sweater without a single warning. His hand felt like ice, she gasped against his mouth. “Oh I think-hey! Sorry about that!” Someone stuttered behind them. William acted as if he didn’t hear him as he deepened the kiss but it was getting harder for Doris to focus on anything but the man watching them. “What is it?” Someone else asked. “Nothing, two kids or something.” He waved them away, William moved his lips
if he wanted to destroy every worry he had racing through his mind. Doris gripped his shirt and moved up on her toes to kiss him back in hopes it would erase her worries too. His hands gripped her hips and slowly grazed her skin as he ran them up under her sweater. His cold hands made her gasp again, he swallowed the sound and carried her over to their bed, “William—“ Doris groaned. He hovered above her with a dark intent in his eyes. He said nothing as he pulled his shirt
