CHAPTER 69
As Amara stepped inside the jet, her eyes widened in surprise, taking in the sheer affluence of the interior. The soft cream-coloured walls were accentuated with intricate gold trimmings. Plush leather seats lined the cabin. She looked down at her feet.
The floor was covered in plush beige carpeting; she could tell it was soft underneath her heels. Gleaming wooden panels, polished nicely. An island at the side, and several bottles of high-end alcohol.
The woman at the door bowed slightly. Amara’s gaze wavered to her badge-Lisa.
Her uniform was perfectly tailored to fit her slender frame.
Her chestnut hair was swept up in a neat bun, with a few loose tendrils framing her delicate features.
"Good evening, Mr. De Luca," she greeted, her voice smooth and polished.
"I am Lisa, your attendant for the flight. Welcome, sir."
Turning her attention towards Amara, Lisa's smile took on a slightly strained quality. Her eyes flickered with a hint of something unreadable.
"Ma'am," she acknowledged Amara with a nod, her tone polite but lacking the warmth she had shown to Kaelith. “I will prepare the seat- “
Kaelith brushed off Lisa's with a nonchalant wave of his hand, his arm instinctively wrapping around Amara's waist.
"She'll sit with me," he muttered, his tone casual yet firm.
"Come on, little one," he added with a grin as he looked down at her.
Amara didn’t know how to react, she just simply nodded and followed him. Lisa followed after them. “Would you like me to prepare your dinner?”
Kaelith eased Amara onto the plush leather seat, a playful grin tugging at the corners of his lips. With a casual lean, he positioned his hands on either side of her small frame trapping her with his larger body.
"Do you want something, love?" he murmured, his voice low and soothing as if they were the only two people in the world. His hands rested casually on the armrests, but Amara couldn’ t wave off the way Lisa ’ s eyes wandered to them.
Amara couldn ’ t dare to look her way. Embarrassed and feeling utterly tingly.
Amara's cheeks turned pink as she shook her head, her hair falling to partly hide her embarrassment.
"Oh, no, I'm okay, really," she murmured softly, sounding a bit shy. Even though she tried to keep her cool, her nerves showed, giving her a cute, vulnerable charm.
Kaelith grinned warmly, plainly fond of her. "Sure thing. Just tell me if you need anything.”
He licked his lips as his eyes wandered down to her lips and then he pulled away and straightened his blazer. Without looking at Lisa, he waved her casually. “You can leave.”
“ S-Sure, sir. Please, call me if you need anything. ” The flight attendant quickly bowed and scurried away.
Amara averted her gaze to the window, fidgeting with her hands when she felt air knocking off of her. A surprised yelp escaped her lips, eyes instinctively closed. She felt herself being lifted and when she opened her eyes, Kaelith's grinning face greeted her.
“What are you doing?” She asked with wide eyes as he adjusted her on his lap, both of her legs dangling at one side.
He chuckled softly, his lips brushing against her ear. “You get cold easily, just trying to keep you warm.”
He shrugged as if it was the only reason. She swallowed hard as she felt butterflies fluttering in her stomach.
“You could ask for a blanket…” She instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck, feeling sudden that rising in her body as she muttered in a low yet soft voice.
He smirked, his finger trailing down her arms.
“This is better; don’t you think?” Kaelith bit his lips to stifle a laugh as she shyly lowered her head and pushed it against his chest. They remained like that for a moment. His hands slowly rubbing her arms, and whispering sweet coos in her ear.
Like a star separated from the moon, Kaelith felt this way without her all those years ago. Now that his arms had got used to her breaths, he wanted to live a little more. Now that her eyes drenched his deserted heart, he wanted to drink her a little more.
The mornings he eagerly awaited just to see her next to him, and the equally impatient nights he couldn’t get enough.
His eyes filled with possessiveness and longing as he caressed the edge of her jaw with the tip of his finger, delicately tracing the flesh.
“You have no idea how much I crave you, Amara, how much I need you. You are the air that I breathe, the fire that burns within me. I want to possess you, consume you completely. Every moment without you is unbearable, and I will do anything to keep you by my side. You’re mine, and I will never let you go. ”
“Even if I am broken?”
His grip slightly loosened on her chin, and his eyes softened. “Especially when you’re broken.”
“And that doesn’t change the way I feel for you. These scares make you more mine, I want to kiss them, to replace them with my lips. You don’t know what you’re doing to me, little flower. I have lost all my senses, fuck, I am a fucking lunatic when it comes to you.”
Amara swallowed, suddenly feeling emotional for some reason.
“You asked me why I didn’t say I love you?
Well, I don’t think I have words to describe the.
.. these sensations … I cannot imagine myself without you; I know this is wrong…
but… why everything feels right when I’m with you?
Why I can’t distinguish right from wrong? ”
He tilted his head slightly.
“Well, that’s what love is, it defies logic, and reason.”
Amara paused for a moment. His words repeating in her head.
It defies logic and reason. Her heart beating fast. This damned emotion drew her into its grasp, making her feel things she couldn’t explain.
And with him, it was no different. The sensations she felt, the way everything seemed right when he was with her, were because they had blurred the boundaries between right and wrong.
And then looked up at him with a mix of longing and vulnerability in her eyes. “I… I am scared, Kaelith… I am scared of this… love. I don’t know what… what…”
“You’re scared of your past.”
Amara’s eyes widen in surprise and uncertainty.
She swallowed the lump in her throat, her voice barely above a whisper.
“It… haunts me, consumes me, I try to forget but the memories, linger like shadows that never fade,” she took a deep breath, her voice trembling. “I am scared of what I’d find there.”
Kaelith felt the strings of his heart-tugging as if he could feel her pain.
The vulnerability in her eyes in her voice, was shattering him from within.
In this momentary happiness, he had almost forgotten the reason why they were together now.
The horrors, the accident. His jaw clenched.
She was fucking raped and then left on the road to die.
Every cell in his body was pulsating with a murderous roar.
He wanted to shed that motherfucker limb by limb, and no matter what, he’d stop at nothing till her tormentor was destroyed.
His hold tightened around her as he pushed his head into her neck.
He didn’t want her to see this animalistic hunger in his eyes, he knew it would scare her, and that was the last thing he wanted to do.
He held her close, his hold soft yet firm, his breath hot against her skin, his voice husky.
“I love you, Amara.” He kissed her neck softly, his hands rubbing her arms. “You don’ t know the lengths I can go for you to make you more mine. ”
Amara shivered as his lips trailed down her neck, her breaths coming out short and deep as she whispered. “I… I want to be more yours,” She breathed. “I want to replace those horrid memories with glimpses of you… I don’t…. ever want to go back to whatever past I had.”
A surge of possessiveness washed over him as his hold tightened. His kisses became fiercer as his lips traced her jaw. “I fucking need you, baby. Right now.” His hands roamed hungrily over her body, his voice deep. “You won’t leave me hanging, will you?”
Amara wanted to resist, yet she couldn’t.
Her body betrayed her, skin heating up and trembling in his hold.
As he pulled away, he looked at her. And her breath hitched.
The hunger in his eyes both startled and surprised her.
Like a predator looking at his prey, hypnotizing eyes she couldn’t say no to. Swallowing hard, she whispered.
“I will not.”
His eyes locked onto her lips, hunger raging within.
He couldn’t resist the temptation any longer.
With a low growl, he claimed her lips taking her off guard as she gasped into the searing kiss, his tongue dancing with hers.
His hands kneading her sides, as he pulled her impossibly closer.
The primal urge was palpable, and no matter how many times, he couldn’t resist the lure, couldn’t wait to claim every inch of hers.
When he pulled away, she was a panting mess, her eyes hazy and her head dizzy.
He cupped her chin and huskily whispered.
“Stand up.”
She nodded, slowly standing up on her quivering legs. His eyes searched hers as he leaned back on the chair and widened his legs. A visible tent formed between his thighs.
He grinned like a devil, running his hand through his perfectly styled hair disheveling them as the strands fell upon his forehead, shadowing the grey glint in his eyes.
“Take off your jeans.” Amara’s heart raced as he met his gaze, unrelenting and commanding.
She wanted to refuse, but he had her cornered.
Even if she did, there was no way he’d let her go this easily.
Moreover, she couldn’ t bring herself to resist, there was something about him in that moment that left her obeying him.
Her face turned redder, her heart pounding in her chest. She bit hard on her lips and looked around the aisle praying no one was looking.
With trembling hands, she unbuttoned her jeans and slowly slid them down.
Kaelith bit his lips at the sight of her lace thongs- black and giving him a nice view of her pussy. “S-Someone will come… please…”
She averted her gaze at the leather seat, unable to meet his intense gaze. “I own this fucking jet, sweetheart. Let me take care of you, all right? You will take off your underwear and show me how wet you are.”
She bit her lips, her voice barely a whisper. “It’s… embarrassing… I…”
“You were taking my cock like a fucking nymph last night, are you shy now? Is my little flower wary?”
Amara slightly trembled, feeling tingly at his sight.
Her cheeks were red and she swallowed hard hooking her fingers into the thong straps.
Kaelith watched in utter amusement. His cock stiffened as she slowly pulled the underwear down, and he let out a low groan at the sight of her glistening pussy- begging for his attention.
His eyes darkened with desire as he watched her, his voice husky with desire. “You’re such a fucking tease, Amara. I can see how wet you are for me.” He reached out and she yelped in surprise as he caressed her exposed skin.
“But I’m the one in control here, I’ll decide how and when you’ll be pleasured.” He drew his hand away and Amara suddenly felt chills running down her spine as he met her gaze with such animalistic fervor. “Now, get on your knees, and show me how much you want me.”
He watched her closely as her chest began rising up and down.
Something about him was changed, no more the man who held her carefully, but the man she was terrified of.
Amara wanted to resist, but something about his eyes warned her.
She took a deep breath, heat rising in her cheeks as she slowly got down on her knees.
He watched her with a predatory gaze, his voice low and commanding.
“Good girl, now crawl to me.”
He leaned back against the leather chair, his eyes never leaving her as she hesitantly crawled towards him.
“That’s my good little girl.”
He reached down, running his hand through her hair possessively.
Her cheeks flushed deeper. Kaelith caressed her ear.
“Unzip my pants.”
Her hands trembled, the wetness between her legs was making it hard as she fumbled with the zip of his slacks. And when she unzipped, her eyes widened at the sight of his hardened length.
He smirked. “You took it in your pussy last night, don’t look so scared.” He watched her closely as she swallowed hard.
“Take it out.” Amara didn’t know why she was obeying him, but she did as he said.
His eyes burned as she reached out with both of her hands and took his rod-like cock out. How… how could something look so scary… and big? She couldn’t believe she had this… monstrous thing inside her.
“Take me in your mouth.” He growled lowly at the feel of her small soft hands around his hard cock.
Amara blushed deeply as she hesitated for a moment and then obediently leaned forward taking his throbbing member into her mouth.
Kaelith threw his head back and moaned in pleasure.
“Oh, fuck.” He watched her with hunger in his eyes. His hand found her nape as he guided her. only half of his cock was in her mouth and she could already feel the tip hitting the back of her throat.
“That’s it…” He growled lacing his fingers into her hair. “Good girl.”
