Chapter 65: Chapter 65

“We are not going to make it!”

A tear leak when the former pilot yelled at the top of his lungs. I heard the gasps of agitation coming from the other passengers here. I lifted my head to see Ethan was doing his shot to fly this thing out of the heavy weather that is approaching us.

“ETHAN!” I called his name because his veins were throbbing on his arms. His teeth were gritted together, and his eyes were angst.

I called his name again, stretching out my arms just to reach him. However, I felt Harry’s grip on my dress, pinning me on my place because the chopper was spinning, and is acting up.

No…I couldn’t risk this without holding him before my last breath. I have to hold out, and tell him everything from the bottom of my heart those words that I haven’t tell him. It was inconspicuous to see clearly because of my weeping. I implored for Harry to let go of me but he did not listen.

He was shaking my shoulders, snapping me back to actuality. He was yelling something in front of my face while my eyes are fixated on Ethan. I shook my head while my lips pursed into an uncontrolled sobs.

“Natasha!”

Their words were growing feeble. I shook my head, and everything felt like was spinning in circles. I closed my eyes to massage my pounding head. It’s like my body was getting dragged down unto the bottom of the ocean when I felt a hand placed on my shoulder. I jump in surprise, and that’s when I resurfaced back to the current when I glanced at Harry beside me.

He was wearing warm inviting smile. He pulled me into a tight embrace  I blink, apprehending what is going on when all of the passenger with us clap their hands in relief.

“We’re safe. Your husband save us.” Harry exclaimed while stroking my back, gently.

I gasped in stupor then covered my mouth with my one hand. I couldn’t believe what I heard. I saw through the window that Ethan successfully operate this thing out of the dark clouds. I closed my eyes. My shoulder slumped down, at the same time, something sharp was clogged out of my chest.

Before I could pull out of the hug someone cleared their throat beside us. I look up, and up since he was tall, and saw Ethan was staring at Harry with a vicious look. The pilot went back to his original seat then operates Some shadows are overpowering the corners of his eyes, making him look like a wicked character from a movie.

“Remove your hands or I would slaughter you.”

I know it supposed to be a threat, more like a joke rather, but Harry’s men took that seriously because they all pointed their weapons at Ethan. I jumped then spread my arms, blocking my husband in case they aimed fire.

“Stop! It’s a joke!”

Harry was cracking when he enfold his arms around Ethan’s shoulder then smack his back jokingly. Ethan rolled his eyes, and I know he was restraining himself to slash his chest with his claws. Harry’s men stood straight while glancing at each other. Their brows were furrowed into a straight line, thinking that this is not a humorous matter.

“How can we trust you? You’re a wanted criminal.” one of them exclaimed.

“Not to mention, a beast that can transform into a werewolf.”

My forehead scrunch up from their words. Are they fucking serious right now? I was about to throw hands when Ethan hold my arm, stroking them so I could composed down. I glance up at him, and saw he was shaking his head, motioning for me to back away. I sighed, and did what he told me to.

“Natasha, calm down. Let me handle this.” Harry whispered, giving me a reassuring smile. I nodded in response because I can’t deal with these men.

“Hey-” Harry was about to spoke when Ethan did the honors.

“It’s okay if you don’t trust me for now. It’s not that I am aiming to get anyone’s trust. My goal here is to get out of this country, and never return. I hope that would clear your minds.”

Ethan then turned his attention back to me, placing both of his hands on my shoulder joint. He grin while cocking his head to his right. Harry patted his shoulders, proud because he did not went berserk, then talk with his men. We both sat here at the corners while everyone was minding their own businesses.

“I’m proud of you.” I told him then caressed his cheeks. His chin was starting to get abrasive because of the hair that is growing. But, I did not mind it. I don’t care if his face is covered with facial hair. He still looks like a god for me. He had natural features that could make any women out there to fall on their knees on him.

Luckily, he only offered his hands to me.

“What?”

I shrugged my shoulders, “Looking back, you have anger issues, Ethan.”

“Well, I still hate people but I don’t want to fuel my illegal level.” he grumbled then I notice he started to reminisce what we went through under Allen’s fury.

“Good thing that moron is already dead. We fucking suffered a lot from him.” he sighed then thud his head against the chair. I could see the lump in his throat bobbed up, and down.

“However, we still need to finish this one final boss.”

“Ethan, he’s a Marshal, you can’t kill him, or else other countries will come for you.” I grabbed his hand then intertwined our fingers. He needs to calm down, and think through this.

“Then what are we going to do? Let those fuckers kill us? To kill you? Natasha, you know I can not let that happen.” he wobble my upper body slightly, as if he wants me to think this too.

“Ethan, I know, but we need to think of something how we are going to get away from him.”

He fell into silence after my last sentence. He was massaging his chin when he closed his eyes firmly then crossed his arms. I thought he was going to say a thing. But, he persist quiet. I sighed deeply then glanced to the other direction when I felt a stinging pain down there.

I bit my tongue, stamping down the painfulness. I think it’s my time of the month already. God, why does this have a wrong timing? I took a glimpse at Ethan beside me who was looking at the other direction.

“How long this flight would take?” I heard Harry asked while looking from his wrist watch time to time.

The pilot calculated the time interval, and said we still have four more hours since we took a different path just to avoid the dense clouds. I look outside to see that it was pitch dark, and if it weren’t for the light coming from the chopper, I wouldn’t see anything.

We still have to endure for more hours.

Harry’s men came prepared because they are all assembling the weapons. I inhaled, and despair that nothing would attack us at this hour. My body is fagged, and I wanted to take a residual but I couldn’t sleep thinking that Auger was chasing us this whole time, and we aren’t aware of it.

“Here.”

Ethan was tapping his shoulder when I glanced at him. He must have caught me yawning every minute.

“If you’re tired, then rest. I’ll wake you up if something bad happens.”

“But, how about you?” I asked because I don’t want him to stay up all night just to guard me while I am sleeping my ass here.

“Don’t worry about me, I’ll take a nap with you. Besides…” his eyes wandered straight ahead. I followed his gaze, and saw he was looking at Harry who was making phone calls. I am just glad that there is a signal here. He was calling for an assist from the ground to terminate those land troupes who would attack from onshore.

“We have this guy.” he said as if Harry was his best weaponry. I smack his head playfully because Harry is not an object. He whined like a kid alright but halt when I leaned my head on his shoulder, snuggling. I wrapped my hand around his arm then scoop closer.

“Stop that, I could feel your soft breast.” he whispered.

“Ethan, you already suck them like a baby you are every time we make love.” I mumble while closing my eyes.

He was silent for a moment. I thought he wasn’t going to say anything further when he groaned.

“Now I am horny, and it’s all because you made me remember it.”

I can’t believe this man. I did not say anything, and just sleep beside him while a smile is plastered on my face. I did make sure that my breast is stroking his elbow, teasing him. I heard him maunder something under his breath but I did not pay attention to it because my mind is starting to drift off.

Until I did not realize I was already asleep.

“Natasha…”

I felt someone was tapping on my cheeks, and calling my name repeatedly. I slowly open my eyes, but everything was bleary-sight. I have to rub them so it could modify from my surroundings. Ethan was whispering something in my ear.

“We’re here.”

I was pulled out of my dream land. I jolted my eyes, and saw the sun was peeking through the window. The light was hitting my eyes. I blink then slowly stood up to see the front.

Harry glanced at me from his shoulder then grin. It was as if something was force out of our chest when the chopper is slowly taking a land.

“We made it, Natasha.” he exclaimed then pats my head.

“You’re finally free.”
