They walked down to the dining hall together, but this time it was different, instead of just them on the table four men pulse Jasmine sat on the dining chatting cheerfully. When their presence was known they all stood up and gave a beep bow before Kylan signaled with his hands for them to sit.
As she sat she saw two girls dressed in maids' clothes serving the food, it was off, when did they get here she asked herself. She looked at Kylan who just gave her a knowing smile at her,
"Rainer met my men, Ethan, Luke, Erin, and Zach, men met my wife Rainer," Kylan introduced,
"Nice to meet you all,"
She gave a warm smile at them, and they did the same also bowing their head slightly. Rainer wasn't used to being called my wife in public the way Kylan did, but it still sounded nice.
Rainer looked at the men but one of them caught her attention, it was the one name Erin, he had brown hair and black eyes, similar to the guard at the dungeon, but he also didn't look like him. And also looking at Ethan both men somehow shared the same features but also not, Ethan had black hair and brown eyes, whet they Twins? she thought cause Rainer had seen people like that and they were not in any way related.
"Are you guys twins?" Rainer asked curiosity,
"Yes," Erin answers,
"And, are you...no...you are the man who helped me in the dungeon right?" Rainer asked Ethan, who was a little taken aback more by her words,
"Yes my lady, but if I may ask, how did you know that it was me not him," he asked pointing to his brother,
"I don't know," Rainer said honestly,
About to say something else, Kylan gently squeezed her hand, diverting her attention back to him. Kylan placed a gentle kiss on the back of her hands before going back to his,
As they got back to their room, Rainer quickly changed into her nightwear, she wanted to ask Kylan all her questions but as she got out Kylan was already laying on the bed on his back, shirtless, one of his legs was bent upward, with one of his hands at the back of his head while the other rested on his chest. Rainer watched how his muscles flexed whenever he moved,
Rainer had questions for Kylan but seeing him already asleep, she decided not to disturb him, he must be tired, she thought. She sat next to him, her eyes wandering around looking for her book but fell on Kylan's body instead, she found herself shamelessly staring at his body.
His raven dark hair spread on the pillow he laid, it was so dark and soft like silk. Her eyes traveled to his long fingers and his veining hands which lay on his chest. Her eyes traveled back to his face. His eyebrows were thick and perfectly shaped, and his eyelashes were long and shining. With his eyes closed, they almost brushed his impressive cheekbone. His nose sharp and hooked, casting a shadow on his full lip, which looked soft to kiss.
Her hands began tracing his sharp jawline to the curve of his lips, she leaned in and placed a soft kiss on his lips, her lips lingering on his enjoying the spark she felt from it. Pulling away her eyes fell on his grey once which were looking deep into hers. She was unable to look away, getting lost in his metallic, captivating grey eyes. His eyes held power, passion, and also a secret pain.
He smiled with his eye making Rainer look away in embarrassment, she blushed so hard that the tip of her ear felt like it was given off steam.
" if you wanted a kiss, then you should have told me, I would gladly devour your lips," he said with a light chuckle, making Rainer blush harder,
He stood up and went to the window. Rainer was so distracted by Kylan that she failed to hear the light tapping on the window. Rainer was still distracted by his broad muscular shoulders as he gracefully walk. He wasn't too muscular, he was lean and well-built, he ran his hands through his hair, making Rainer's heart skip a beat. Remembering the question she had she stood up and approached him.
Seeing Rainer walk toward him with her face which was still as red as a lobster, he couldn't help but stare at her. He lifted her chin, prompting her to look him in the eyes. His thumb traveled to her lips, feeling their softness and tenderness. He paused back her hair exposing the half-bloomed flower on her neck, his make. He inhaled her sweet, scent that intoxicated him, he began placing kisses on her making Rainer shiver, she threw her head to the back, giving him full access to her neck.
He then made his way to her lips and began kissing her pulp, soft, and sweet lips. she was clearly inexperience, so he took his time to guide her lips, her lips quivered slightly, but then she quickly adapted to his movement, until their lips moved in sync.
She wrapped her hand around his neck sending those sparks through his body. He gave her a small bit that forced a cry of pure pleasure from her lips, almost making Kylan loos his mind. He raised his arm and grabbed a hand full of her hair before kissing her passionately, feeling her soft lips on his.
He ran his finger down her spine, pulling her so close to him that there was no space left between them, he could hear her heartbeat quicken in her chest. His hand traveled through her back, wanting to remove the only thing that separated both of them. Adding more pressure to her lips, she moaned in response, snapping the tiny bit of control left,
He grabbed her dress ready to rip it apart, he wanted her, wanted her so badly. He never thought that he could ever want a woman this bad but she, Rainer was different. He quickly pulled away in restraint, shouting his eyes that had turned gold, he was trying to put his beast at bay, the beast that wanted to ravish her at the moment. He didn't want to scare her by doing that, not now that she had started warming up to her.
"What's wrong?" he heard Rainer's soft voice that was full of concern, calling out to him,
He lifted his gaze and looked into her eyes, there he saw how concerned she was for him, seeing that warmed his heart and brought a smile to his lips,
"Nothing," he said walking Rainer to their bed, " I thought you wanted to ask me some questions,"
Rainer was a little taken aback by his sudden shift, one moment he was kissing her passionately and the next he pulled away,
" Umm, yes, I did," Rainer answered, as she watched him move to his side of the bed and lay back.
"Go on," he said, giving Rainer his full attention. Taken in some deep breaths, she began.
"Those shadows, Jasmine told me that they were souls, reckless souls, but of who," She asked.
"They belong to the Foxlane clan. They were the storm in the desert, with unique powers, they were the storm of the desert but not the desert itself. They are peaceful people who despair their strength and craftiness, they always seek peace and oneness, but one day they suddenly disappeared with their souls recklessly never crossing over to the afterlife. So that's why when the sun sets they come out, swarming through the desert as the storm, seeking for peace,"
"Are they, harmful to people?" Rainer asked curiously,
"Not to us, but to humans or weak souls they can cause madness or possess the body to do unspeakable things. Even some of the desert people who aren't strong enough can also fall victim," he explained,
"What was that light that I saw outside?" Rainer leaned on the bed, her eyes burning with curiosity. Kylan let out a sigh upon hearing the question,
"You ask a lot of questions Rainer, this would be the last then you'll sleep," he said but making Rainer's eyes widen. But she quickly stood up in protest,
"What? No, you said that after dinner, you would answer all my questions, so don't go back on your words," Rainer said folding her hands in front of her chest. Earning a soft chuckle from Kylan, who looked at Rainer in disbelief before shaking his head.
"Fine then wife, you won, but I'll only answer two more questions, then we'll sleep,"
"No three," Rainer bargained,
"Are you bargaining with me wife," Kylan asked, raising his eyebrow, sounding amused,
"Yes," Rainer said,
"Little firebird, you amaze me, fine then, I'll answer all three questions only if you tell me how you got hurt,"
Rainer's heart stopped when she heard his bargain. She wanted her answers but she doesn't want to give Jasmin away,
"Fine then, two questions it is," Rainer said, sitting back down on the bed. "First, what was that light I sea earlier,"
"It was from me," Kylan simply said. making Rainer narrow her eyes,
"I heard a noise last night, something like a growl what was that?"
"it came from me," he said, before closing his eye,
"I don't understand,"
"You should sleep,"
