Chapter 52: Chapter 52

She directed her gaze to the side and noticed for the first time since they climbed the tree that it was snowing heavily now. She directed her gaze up to the tightly knitted crown of leaves and branches shielding them from the element and tears streamed down her face. She felt suddenly cold. Reaching for the front of her coat, she pulled it firmly over her exposed breast. Angel had torn both her dress and bra and they laid useless now around her waist. She wore her boots without his help and sat there awkwardly afterwards. Angel didn’t move nor spoke.

“Can you help me down?” she asked in a small voice.

“Is that what you want?” he asked in a levelled tone. Nadia could not tell from his voice what he was feeling and she didn’t want to look into his eyes.

“It is best I return. It is snowing now…”

“It is always snowing, Nadia…” he replied, “I asked if that is what you want.”

“Yes,” she whispered. There was about a minute of silence and then Angel straightened his spine and rose to his knees. He pulled up his pants and picked his shirt to wear. Nadia swallowed when her gaze fell on his well-defined pectorals and couldn’t resist trailing her eyes up until they meet him. His eyes were dark and his jaw was tightly clenched. Nadia need not be told he was angry. She held his gaze for a millisecond and then looked away. Her heart felt like it was going to wither. When he crouched, Nadia recalled how he brought her up and the thought of pressing her naked body against his back made her quite mortified.

As if he read her had thought, he said, “If you are ready, I can lift you down.”

Nadia did not know what he meant, but she rose to her feet with her back bent over. He reached one hand behind her legs and the other behind her back. Her coat gaped in front, exposing her breast and she quickly pulled the flaps over them. When she risked a glance up, Angel was looking down at her chest. His eyes were intense.

“You should hold on to me,” he said. His voice was hoarse. Before she had the time to figure out how to do that and also keep her coat over her breast. He was flying through the air. Her heart lunged in the wall of her chest and she swallowed a gasp and then they landed on the snow-covered ground.

In reflex, she let go of her coat and wrapped her arms around his neck. Angel shut his eyes tightly, feeling her soft, full breast pressed against his chest. His entire body grew hard for her. He lowered his face to the nook of her neck and Nadia brushed the side of her face against his jaw. They both made a low pleasure-filled sound. Nadia then cupped his jaw, making him brush his lips against her cheek to the corner of her mouth then she whispered his name and took his lips.

When Angel pulled back from her, they were both breathing hard. He searched her gaze and she returned his scrutiny. Whatever he saw in her eyes made him reach for her. He carried her up to the back of the tree and allowed her feet to touch the ground, turning her around so her back was to him. He lifted up her coat and made her push back her ass. Nadia’s breathing was quite audible. She placed her open palms against the tree trunk, parted her legs, and waited in anticipation. When Angel filled her up inside. She crumpled against him with a deep moan. He wrapped her up in a tight hug, fucking her fast and hard. One arm wrapped around her middle and the other held her by the chin with his index finger caressing her lush lower lip. He made her crane her neck to bring her lips close to his and he covered them with his.

“You are mine,” he growled.

“Yes!” Nadia breathed in ecstasy. “Yes, I am.”

Angel loved the feel of her and her submission to his dominance especially after telling him she wanted to leave. It made mating with her extra pleasurable and all he wanted was to stay buried inside her all night, revelling in her warm and sweet embrace. Blocking out their reality, he got totally lost in the hazy pleasure twirling indie him. It was profound and he gladly allowed it to drown him.

When he embrace release, the hair on the back of his neck prickled and in reflex, he pulled out of Nadia, shoved her to his back to shield her with his body, and turned. And there standing a few meters away was a guard shocked into a standstill.

Angel did not give him room to react; he leapt. Moving in a blur and within seconds, he was upon the man, and with his chest heaving, he wrapped his arms around his neck and snap it. The guard slumped. Nadia watched in horror from the tree.

Angel strode back to her and wrapped her up in a hug.

“He saw us,” she whispered against his chest, shaking in obvious fear.

“He did,” Angel said. “But he would not be able to tell, calm down.”

Nadia started to cry. There was something in that reply that appeared mocking and she knew he would never stop seeing her as the enemy. “Calm down, Nadia,” he said again, “I will take you back…”

“No, I can go back on my own,” she said and pulled back from him, lowering her gaze she wrapped her arms around herself and started to walk away.
