Adeline's POV~
I saw no one near my building so I turned around to walk back to my apartment but suddenly a movement at my peripheral got my attention. I turned and froze on my spot. My sexy intruder was sitting near a dumpster and he was shaking terribly in cold.

Arsenio's POV~
"That's not my problem dude! I want you out of my apartment, now!" she snapped at me.
I was furious, how dare she talk to me like that? I glared at her and stormed out of her home. Her home was so small and it contains some weird-looking things. The furniture was brown and polished. There was a big, flat, black box in her sitting room.
I stormed out of her home without a word and noticed that there were similar homes in this building and I descended the stairs and looked around my surrounding.
There were tall buildings and some buildings made up of glasses and a woman was talking on a big flat screen that hung on that building.
Oh, God! What was this place?
I narrowed around my weird surrounding in bewilderment.
The temperature was cold unlike Lympia and I was dripping wet and shirtless was not helping me either. I think the needle the oracle used to poke me had something to do with my inability to use my powers here.
I spread my mighty wings and took off a flight. My wings were a part of my body; it was like an organ, so no one could control my wings. I was starving but I could hold on to my hunger it was not a big deal.
When there was a war between Lympia and Rinosa, I and my soldiers fought for nearly a week without having food.
It was pitch dark outside and I have no place to stay and I noticed some people were pointing their hands towards my direction with a baffled expression. I flew higher above the clouds so that no one could spot me.
There were still people roaming around the street and I didn't want anyone to look suspicious of me. So I flew back to that beautiful maiden's home. The wind rustled due to the fluttering of my wings while I land on the ground. I didn't want to barge into her home, so I sat near a box.
I tugged my wings behind my back and it vanished into my muscular back.
This blue-eyed maiden was really feisty and intriguing but she was going to pay for disrespecting me.

Adeline's POV~
My sexy intruder was sitting near a dumpster and he was shaking terribly in cold.
I didn't know what possessed my legs to carry me near him. I shook him softly to wake him as soon as I was in front of him. What was his name? He did tell me his name. I think it was Arsenio.
I squatted in front of him and placed my palms against his bare shoulders. His skin was cold and it was snowing terribly.
"Arsenio, wake up" I softly shook him. He slowly opened his eyes and gazed at me with his emerald green orbs I was transfixed by its beauty. It was an odd shade of green. He had this powerful aura around him. He closed his eyes immediately as soon as he opened them.
I groaned in frustration and helped him to stand up on his feet. His one arm was rested on my shoulder and the other was dangling to his side. I circled his torso with my arms and supported his weight.
"God, you're so heavy," I grumbled under my breath and slowly dragged him to my apartment.
The moment I reached inside my apartment I let him fall on my couch and heaved a sigh. I locked my front door and adjusted the thermostat to cope with the cold. January was usually, super cold in Seattle.
I gathered some blankets from my closet and went near him to cover him and he was shaking so badly. I kind of felt bad for kicking him out of my apartment.
"Hey, are you okay?" I touched his forehead with the back of my palm to check his temperature. His skin was cold and he didn't have a fever. While I was observing him, he suddenly pulled me on top of him and hugged me so tight.
"What…what are you doing?" my voice was breathless. I was flushed against his hard, sculpted front. My face was buried in the crook of his neck, I tried to wiggle out of his grasp but I was locked in his embrace.
I was in my silk pajamas which contains silk shorts and a shirt. My shirt raids up, exposing my flat stomach and it was pressing against his hard abs. My hot skin touched his cold skin making jolts of electricity pass down my spine.
"Shh…It's much better now, sleep." He softly whispered, still not opening his eyes. The audacity of this man, I scowled at him and I was fuming with hot rage.
His half leg was dangling at the armrest of my couch because he was too tall but the couch was enough for both of us because he was all lean muscles. I tried to get out of his grip which made him groan and he shifted me to his side.
Now he was at the edge, he laid his one leg on mine. Our legs were intertwined and he gathered me in his arms and hugged me so close to his chest, stopping all my movements.
I placed my palm against his defined chest, he was gaining his normal temperature due to our body contact but I couldn't push him from me.
He smelled so good, like some expensive masculine cologne. His intoxicating scent made me relax in his arms but I couldn't sleep. I was so damn exhausted but how do I sleep when I was embraced by a sexy stranger.
Eventually, my exhaustion won and I fell into a deep slumber in his strong arms. The next morning I woke up, yawning profusely. I was sweating like a pig and I could feel some heavy weight on me. I opened my eyes to come face to face with emerald green eyes.
Arsenio, my sexy stranger was awake and he was staring at me with a cocky smirk. Our legs were still weaved with one another and his arms were tightly wrapped around my waist.
I blinked, once, twice, and thrice. I screamed at him causing him to tumble down from my couch. I reflexively stood to my feet and attacked my arrogant stranger with my cushions.
"How dare you, make me sleep with you," I yelled at him and hit his head with my cushion.
"Stop it, woman," he dodged my attack and pulled my cushions from my hand. I glared at him and he looked at me with hilarity shining in his grass-green orbs.
"You helped me," he stated with a smile.
"I kind of feel bad for kicking you out," I shrugged, "Are you homeless?" I asked him.
"No, I told you before, I'm the prince of Lympia and I belong to a different realm," he told me with an adorable frown.
I heaved a sigh, "You can use my bathroom, if you want, I'll give you some of my ex-boyfriend's clothes after your shower." I indicated towards his dirty pant.
He nodded at me and went into my bathroom. I rummaged my closet and took a new pair of sweats and boxers which was never used by Luke.
I laid the clothes on my bed and made my way to the kitchen to make my coffee. I couldn't function properly without my coffee and dealing with this guy drain away my energy so fast.
I made my coffee and switched on the news. As a journalist, I make sure to know what's happening and it was Sunday today. I sat on my couch and sipped my coffee. The aromatic smell of coffee woke my exhausting soul and I started to feel refreshing.
I spat my coffee out as soon as I saw a man flying in the sky on my television screen. He was wearing a pant and he was shirtless. He was flying with the help of his majestic white, angel-like wings with so much grace and elegance. It was so dark so the face was not clear but I could make out his profile, it was Arsenio. He soon disappeared above the clouds.
What the hell was going on here? My eyes were wide with disbelief.

Adeline's POV~
It couldn't be him, right? Even though the face was not clear in the footage, I could say it was him. The man in the footage wore the same pant and his silhouette matches with Arsenios', was he an angel? Where did he get his wings from? He did tell me that he was from a different realm and something about him being a prince.
