Chapter 10: Chapter 10

I moaned.

Adam's hand was clutching my hair at the back of my head gently as he sucks on my neck. His body was still pinning me on the fridge, his other hand lifting my leg, brushing his fingers from my hips up to my knee over and over again as he plays his tongue on my feeble skin.

"Adam."

I cried, feeling the unusual and hot sensation of his touches, of his warm tongue that travels from my neck back into my mouth where he wrestled his tongue with mine. It was such a euphoric moment and not one of us wants to stop being bound by it. I put my arms behind his neck when he lets go of my hair and he pulls away. I was running out of breath and so does he, but that magic bewitching us both into such a state never disappears from our eyes.

He was smoking hot as he stares so close to me. His reddish lips were parted and I can smell mint coming out from his mouth. I am turning crazy for him and I want it. He puts his forehead into me wearing a smile on his face as he catches his breath in rhythm with mine. I love it when he smiles.

My hand touches his cheek and I look deeper into his eyes, it was so beautiful and the way he stares back makes my heart thump more loudly. It feels as if touching and holding him this close to me was a distant memory.

Adam seems so familiar and perfect for me.

As I held his face, my eyes turned heavy. His enchanted gaze dropped into worry when I sense tears brimming in my eyes. I feel happy, yet I wanted to cry.

I embraced him and he did the same.

"I'm here, Eve."

His voice was music to my ear, and I closed my eyes while feeling his warmth. As I enveloped him with my arms, he did the same. He surrounds my waist with his strong arms, his face buried in my neck.

I am glad he found me.

My eyes suddenly opened as I recall what I just thought. What do I mean by that? He found me. I turn to gaze at the gorgeous man again but I held my head as soon as it felt like it has just exploded.

"My head hurts."

I groan in pain, as I hold my head with both my hands. Why in this fucking time, this headache hits again. My mind starts to get crazy and I can see a man standing in a memory. It was all blurry, but he was offering his hand to me. My knees felt weak and I fell down on the floor, still holding the temples of my head with my palm. There's a voice, a loud voice, but it sounds like all echoes and no words. Stop. Stop.

I hear a voice near me and now it was clear.

"Eve! Look at me!"

I turn to Adam and its just like he is about to lose control. No, don't worry. I tried to breathe and he puts that flame once again in my head but I grabbed his wrist and shook my head. I don't want to fall asleep again.

I breathe my life in and try to stop my breathing before exhaling. This is helpful in regulating the pain. The ache in my head starts to subside as I run out of air inside my body. Adam was furrowing his brows at me, wondering what I am doing but I signaled him to wait for my palm and he reluctantly obeyed.

I can't breathe now.

I continued breathing and gasps a lot of air as I stop with what I am doing.

Who is that man I saw?

"What have you been doing? I can easily make the pain go away!"

"I'm okay. It was just a simple headache." Except for the fact that I see some things every time it aches.

He was mad again, he was sitting on the floor with me after my situation. He was frowning and glaring at me but I had the urge to smile and giggle at him. I like every bit of him, even when he is mad.

He rolls his eyes on me so I had a freaking naughty idea.

I scoot over then sat on top of him, making him jerk a bit. Oh my god! What did I do? I felt a budge, beneath his jeans, bulking against my sensitive area since he was between my legs and my hands are laid on his chest. I suddenly became stoic and I bit my lip after feeling a twitch in my core. He was staring at me, his blue eyes darkening once again, and his sexy swollen lips had a lop-sided smile. Why did I do this again? I looked away, feeling the rushing hot blood on my cheeks. I prop my knee and tried to stand up but he pulls me back, making me feel that hard bulge on my core again.

"Ah." An airy tiny voice escaped my lips. My body was pulsating and his naughty, smoldering character is there once again. He sat straight and puts his hands on the sides of my waist. His gaze never leaves me again and I feel like I am being tickled with sudden desires that I've never had before.

"Ada---"

My call for his name became replaced with a loud moan when he pulled me by my waist, making my delicate area feel his large hard bulge more. My breath was turning heavier and his' was terribly sexy as fuck. He leans his head more to whisper something in my ear.

"I didn't know you wanted to ride me, Eve."

Shit.

I was electrified by how his breath tickled my ears. That was so freaking hot to hear. But I have no experience in these.

I feel so shy. But I feel like I am burning. And the burn is something I would like to get dragged in. He is not human but it feels as if he was normal to me, and he is mine.

"Do you know how?" His dark British voice made me want to squirm. His other hand slides from my waist, rough and slow, up to my breast, against my skin. My fingers dig into his chest as I feel his hand stroke my breast. I jolt, making me push myself into his hardness, his lips split open and his look, made me wanna do it again.

I bit my lower lip as I lean towards him. He braces his hands on the floor behind him, his palms laid flat on the floor, to hold his inclined body as I lean on him. I placed my hands on his chest and slides them up to his shoulder. He was wearing that sexy smile on his lips again and I can see how he swallows every time I grind myself on his bulge. I feel like I have the upper hand and it made me proud.

I brush my hand from his shoulder up to his neck and he tilts his head, feeling my fingers more in his skin. His gaze shows his amusement and his eagerness as I drag my fingers to his hair. He gasped when I try to bounce a little, but it made me shudder against him.

"Oh, Eve."

He groaned and my heart skipped a beat. I lean in to kiss him but a knock on the fucking door made us both look in that direction.

He rolls his eyes and sighs, "What is this again?"

Well fuck I don't know either. Who would even---

Oh god.

My innocent sweet Natalie!

My eyes widen and Adam seemed to have noticed it. He raises his brow and holds me, oh so gently so he can move to stand up. I grabbed him by his wrist so that he wouldn't run to the door. But when I blinked he was gone, and I know where he is.

Oh no.

I run to the door and I see Natalie with her wide eyes and her innocent smile.

"Mr. Adam!" she giggled. What the fuck. He is Mr. Ross for them, he is my Adam.

"Hello, Nat." Adam fucking replied. What Nat? Are they close? Where are these voices in my head coming from?

I shook my head and banish that ridiculous thought. What the hell was that all about. I kept a smile on my face and approach them normally as I would to my friends.

"Ms. Eva!" She ran towards me without minding this fucking man who seemed to be close to my innocent child. I want to growl at him and hug Natalie. Maybe I'm just overreacting, in my mind. Natalie held my hands and her eyes sparks up again like Christmas. Sometimes I just want her to be my little kid. I laughed at that thought.

"How have you been? I was worried about you, but I managed to keep track of all the things at work. I also reviewed some of the articles that are on schedule so you wouldn't bother yourself with them when you come back to work. "

"I'm fine. Maybe I'll be at work tomorrow."

I smiled at her and my eyes shoots out to Adam who's was leaning in the door frame, smiling.

What the fuck is he smiling about? And why do I feel so grumpy?

"I'll be leaving you two now, Mr. Adam. Ms. Eva." She goes to the door and smiles at us. I don't even feel like I have to explain myself. I should be afraid by now that she sees me with this man but no.

I wave at her and she waves at us. Adam waved at her too and says something to her that I didn't understand. I guess it has something to do with Mr. Leon.

He closes the door and faces me.

"I know that look in your face."

I raise my brows at him.

"What look?" He smiles at me and holds my hand.

"Leon has been serving me after his father died."

Do they know that Adam is nonhuman? I listen to him before I can even speak anything.

"More than a servant, he was a friend to me, as well as his wife. When Claire died because of cancer, Leon was a mess, and Natalie was just a baby." I feel my heartbreak when I remember the story that Natalie told me. "I took care of them both since Claire has been a good friend to me as well. I can't just forget someone's wishes. Especially those I cared about."

I squeezed the hand that he is holding and smiled at him. I knew more about him today. I don't want to question him about anything this day. But I'm going to bombard him with questions soon enough, starting with 'do they know that he is a demon'.

He grins at me and takes a step closer. His gaze became serious as he puts his forehead on mine. "You always have that same expression when you are jealous before."

What? What does he mean before?

"B-before?"

His eyes opened and he drags my hand and entwines his finger with mine. He evaded my question. "What do you mean before?"

"It means I am tired and I want to sleep with you."

He lets out a small laugh and stopped walking. He pulled me to him and sweeps my feet off the ground, carrying me like a baby. I looked at him and he looked so happy--- I will find you again, Eve.

A voice crossed my mind and this time it was so vivid. It was Adam's voice that I heard, and I am pretty sure he didn't speak right now. Why is my mind messing with me? I remember the other Eve in my dream and the Adam there. Does that dream even have any meaning? I was lost in thoughts that I completely forgot that I am being carried by him.

"Here we are!" He sings like he's in a theater and it made me chuckle. What happened to the smug Adam? He lays me gently into the bed and he signals me to move over.

"What, no. You're not sleeping in here."

He raises his eyebrow and pushes me lightly. I rolled my eyes on him and scoot over the edge of the bed but he pulls me closer to him, and I can't help but giggle.

"Adam!"

I laugh. He embraces me tight with his face was close to mine. His eyes were serious but it wasn't like before, it was brimming with joy.

"Go to sleep. You have work tomorrow."

I pang of dismay thrust in my heart but he was right. I need to sleep and I want him with me right now.

"Are you coming back to this house?" I blurt out.

"No." He answered sternly.

"Why?" But why?

He closed his eyes and hugged me even tighter. I let myself be enveloped by his arms and closed my eyes as well. Good night Adam. I feel a faint smile forming on my lips, I know I am happy.

****

Someone is arguing. I tried opening my eyes to see what is happening but there's no use. I feel like I am having sleep paralysis but I can't do anything, nor can see anything. The voices are fighting over something but they are trying to keep their voices down. I focus on the voices to get a hint of what they are talking about.

"Can you please stop meddling? I will never leave her again, not anymore."

The voice was deep and I know that accent. Is that Adam? Who is he talking to?

"I didn't meddle with the both of you, in fact--- I never cared before, remember? Even on her recent reincarnations, I never dared to enter your lives, that's why I left, I never wanted our lives in our world. But this time it is different, I can never forgive myself if she gets hurt."

Reincarnations? What he is talking about?

The other voice spoke so weakly, but he is mad. He sounds familiar. I heard that voice before.

"So what are you going to do? You're gonna play the matchmaker and separate us?"

*If that's what it takes to keep her from not getting hurt, I won't hesitate."

"You don't get to do that!" That voice is Adam.

"You came to me! You are the one who made me do this. You said you'll never go in her way again since she always dies when she remembers you! You were crying and you were a mess, so I had no other choice but to help you!"

What are they talking about? I feel like I wanted to cry even though I don't understand what they are blabbing at. That other voice--- I know that voice.

"I did. But she got shot! If I didn't come that time, it will be a hundred years or more so before I see her again! She didn't even know who I am but she nearly died and where were you that fucking time." They are definitely talking about me.

"Where was I?! I was cleaning up your goddamn mess to our fucking father. I had to let him know that you are not going to cross paths with her again so that he wouldn't hunt her down!" Who's going to hunt me down?

"And you think that you being with her will never bring her danger?! You are my brother for fucks sake." Does Adam have a brother?

I want to see what is going on. I tried to pull my eyes open but I can't. It's just like I am under a spell of some sort. Maybe I am!

"I am your brother. But I made clear that I am not going to inherit that throne. I am an outcast, and for that, no name shall be tainted if I am with a human." Human... that means me...

Adam seemed to have silence down but I hear a tap on a table that made the glasses clank.

"I love her... I can't stay away from her. I'm going to make sure she's not going to be hurt this time. Even if costs me my life." Adam...

Why is he talking like that?

"You know it's impossible. That curse in her knows no bounds. The moment she remembers her pasts, it will start killing her, no matter what you do. That's what always happened for thousands of years that you see each other. "What is this all about? I want to cry my heart out.

"You'll never understand me. You never loved anyone."

The other voice was silent but I hear footsteps going back and forth.

"I won't let her get hurt. Whatever you say, my decision is final." The familiar man's voice was so clear.

"You will never dictate what I have to do!" Adam was mad again.

"Stop your bullshit whining! I have a say in this! I've been with her in these whole fucking times!" The man was mad too. What are they doing?

"You've only been with her in this timeline! You were never there in her pasts! We are the ones in love! She is my wife!" Adam's wife!?

"In this time, she's not. Ever since you asked me to take care of her for you, it changed. She will choose who she wants!" Who I want?

"You're fucking in love with her." Adam's voice was more of a shock and mad type of reaction. Who is in love with me? I need to get up.

"I am. And I loved her all this time." I know who this man is.

My eyes opened and I immediately sat down. The two men were in my room, standing by the door. Adam's eyes were wide opened and he never thought I could break free from whatever it was that is holding me down. I feel my heart clench as I saw the other man, he was mouthing something and his eyes were gently looking at me like he always had on my entire life. He holds out a palm and I felt a tranquil blast that went into my body.

What just happened? I fall to my bed and there was nothing.
