Hellbound With You (WN)

In Alex ’s room.

Abi finally opened her eyes. She looked around and saw a man sitting there by the window with his long legs crossed, looking like an olden day emperor. No, a handsome deity?

”You ’re awake, ” his deep voice echoed in her ears and she watched him walk gracefully towards her. He bent down and his perfect face hovered over her.

The events in the dungeon slowly returned to her as her brain started to make sense of what had happened – that someone else was there with her, that she felt like something was strangling her, that she had tried to call for help but couldn ’t and then she lost consciousness.

Abi shut her eyes again to stop herself from reaching out and calling his name. But then, she felt his cool fingers touch her cheek.

”Are you alright? ” she heard him ask. ”Shall I call the doctors to come? ”

Abi could only open her eyes and she shook her head. She felt fine. She didn ’t feel anything wrong with her body. She just felt a little sluggish but his touch and voice were enough to jolt her fully awake.

She pushed herself to sit up and she stared at him, wondering. She knew that he was the one who jumped down and rescued her from that abyss. Did he remember anything?

He bent forward and gently pinched her chin. ”Don ’t worry, little lamb, that will not happen again. I will kill anyone who dares to harm you, ” he told her, eyes dangerous and a serious warning in his voice. It seemed he still didn ’t remember anything, because if he did, he would be calling her by her name right then.

She looked away and stared at the open window. This was really, really hard. She just wanted him to hug her, to console her and soothe her battered heart, the way he used to. She just wanted to lay her head on his chest, hear his soothing heartbeat, and feel the warmth of his body settle into hers.
