THARAAX

By the Black Abyss, I had no idea what just happened. One moment we were talking, and the next, we were fucking our minds out. Quite literally because mine was still scrambled.

Never before had I desired a female like I did her. She was the most infuriating female I had ever met. Yes, my cock had reacted to her a few times, and yes, she was beautiful, but never before had I felt or been that out of control in my life. The kiss alone had been enough to make me fall down an abyss so deep I feared I would lose myself. Instinctively, I already sensed that there was no coming back from this.

Had I been a superstitious male, I would have taken witchcraft into strong consideration. Right about now, a spell sounded more appealing an explanation than anything else my poor brain could come up with.

She snuggled into my chest, sighing happily as I once again carried her through the hallway with my lower parts exposed and dangling. We hadn't even been able to take our clothes fully off. This had never happened to me before. Never. I was always in control. Always. Frygg, this was testing and confusing and the last thing I needed on my mind right now. It was already filled with riddles.

"Do you want to get cleaned?" I asked her when we entered our quarters, and yes, I was aware that, once again, I was calling my quarters ours now.

She nodded against my chest as I slowly set her down to her feet. As soon as she was on the floor, her gaze dropped. She wasn't a meek person, but I, too, had no words for what was happening between us, so I understood her desire not to look at me right now, even though, on some level, it hurt. More than I was willing to admit.

What did I expect?

Not a declaration of love, but something. Some kind of acknowledgment that this hadn't just been sex for her either. I wanted to know if she was as confused as me. If she, too, felt like we should continue on the bed without any more clothes between us.

"That sounds good," she mumbled and stepped around me, careful not to touch me.

Feeling stupid being half naked but not wanting to put on a clean pair of pants before I took a shower, I decided to use one in one of the other rooms. A little distance from one another might clear our heads.

Wouldn't you know it? The second I took four steps down the corridor, the damn marks began to burn. Frygg.

"Thrax!" Hannah yelled loud enough to come through the walls.

"I'm coming," I replied, knowing she couldn't hear me. I hung my head in defeat and reentered our quarters.

"Thank you!" she yelled from the cleansing unit.

Giving up on modesty or anything else, I grabbed one of the bottles filled with spirit and took a long, deep swig. Frygg.

Hannah exited the cleansing unit. "All yours. "

"Thank you." I replaced the bottle and stepped inside, careful, just like her, not to have our skin touch. At this point, I was too afraid of what would happen next.

By the stars, I needed answers. Tomorrow , I told myself. Tomorrow, you will have Possedion under your control. And I swore I would make him sing like searing meat on a roasting stick.
