Chapter 42

KAEL.

"You need to be careful," Adessa said. Her eyes softened, and even if she was trying to smile, I could see the worry in her expression.

I raised my hand and let my knuckles run over her soft cheek. "You'll be safe here. I will come back as soon as I can. Keep the phone I gave you close, and never call me unless they're here. I will call you when I can." She nodded.

"I have to go."

"The last time you said goodbye to me, you came back unconscious, badly beaten, and on the brink of death." Her eyes watered before she continued. "Can you make sure to come back alive?"

I smiled and nodded before wrapping my arms around her and pulling her into a tight embrace. "I will come back alive. I have many things to make up for, and I need to get you out of this mess first."

She didn't say anything, but I felt her squeeze my body as she hugged me tightly, as if she didn't want to let go.

I turned my head to the side and kissed the side of her cheek, but I let my lips linger there, wanting to revel in the softness of her skin and the sweetness of her scent.

Adessa slowly tilted her head in the direction of my face, and just like what I was hoping for, her lips brushed against mine, and I didn't waste time capturing them.

My hands moved and cupped her cheeks as I began kissing her, softly and carefully at first, but the moment her lips moved against mine and her hold on my body tightened, I began kissing her aggressively, devouring every part of her that I could. Her lips parted, and my tongue plunged into her mouth, making soft moans escape her throat.

In one swift motion, I was already moving us, pressing her back against the wall while I pressed my front onto her. And Adessa didn't disappoint. She kissed me back in the same hungry manner, her hands slipping inside my shirt and skimming her fingers against my skin, igniting more fire in my already heated body.

"Adessa..." I growled lowly as I parted our mouths.

"Don't stop..." She whispered to me, her lips still pressed against mine.
