Chapter-70. Questions(18+)

[Asher]

"Mad at you?" she chuckled; her voice dripped with bitter sarcasm. "I am sorry, alpha, but I don't remember ever having the luxury of being mad at you. And for what? For bringing me into this delightful, traumatizing dark room where illusion blurs into reality with sheer madness?"

Xanthea licked her lips, letting out a mirthless laugh that seized at once as her eyes locked with mine for a few seconds before they wandered around me. A glance into her eyes was enough to twist something inside me.

"No. In fact, this is the most romantic date ever! Every married man should bring their wives here. She's going to lose her mind after ten years of marriage, anyway! So, why not do it in ten minutes? And maybe that's why you brought me here - because I have less than a year to live, anyway! Right?"

She snapped at me in one breath, her breath quickening from the intensity of her outburst. I had witnessed her wrath before, so her audacity didn't shock me. Yet, I found myself more captivated than ever.

I observed her heaving chest and the way she placed her palms on her waist, trying to calm herself down.

I tried to focus on reading her emotions, but my eyes kept losing focus and so did my thoughts that traced her skin and realized that her skin should be in touch with mine all the time.

"This is insane," she mumbled, panting as she tried to control her words. Biting her lips, she ran her fingers through her hair.

The room had a peculiar vibe unsuitable for free thinking. So the way she controlled herself was highly commendable.

She shut her eyes and I could discern her thoughts in the disappointed and frustrated creases on her face. She was trying to understand why or how I knew a place like this. Why I brought her here?

I hoped she wouldn't vocalize those questions because if she did, I wouldn't have any answers for her.

Unnoticed, I stepped closer to her.

With a curt nod, she let out a deep breath.

"Asher," she said in a frustrated but calm tone. "The game's over now. I found you. I won. So, can we please leave now?"

"No," I said simply.

She clenched her jaws, holding back her anger.

"I want to go back," her voice turned more commanding. "Now."

"To Ezra?" I asked.

Confused, she frowned, squinting her eyes.

"What?"

"Do you want to go back to Ezra?" I asked.

She shrugged and then nodded with a quick gulp.

"Yes. I want to go back to him. Away from this place."

"Away from me?" I cocked a brow, closing the distance between us even more.

She parted her lips to speak, but all that escaped her lips was a shuddering breath carrying the sweet scent of her heat.

"N-no," her frown deepened. "I just don't want to stay here anymore. This place is suffocating and unbearable."

"What if I want to stay here with you?" I reached out and gently glided my hand down her arm. She stiffened her body, allowing the wash of tantalizing charges to run between us. I brushed my fingers with hers, holding her hand in mine. "Will you stay with me a little longer? If I hold your hand in this darkness, will you hold back mine a little tighter?"

She took back her hand from me, breathing heavily.

I curled my fingers into a loose fist, dropping it to my side.

'Asher, let's just leave. There's no point. She doesn't have to go through all this-' Xanthea cut Icifer's voice off.

"I didn't want to ask these questions, but..." she blinked fast and asked. "What happened here? Why are we here? And the most important question - what does this place mean to you?"

Nothing even close to what you mean to me - I thought, but for some uncanny reason, I couldn't provide a voice to my words.
