Twenty-seven. Reacting to her
The black Rolls Royce phantom pulled up to a noiseless halt in front of the massive building that was situated at the Alpha gardens. Louis got down with a fastness that was smooth and walked to open the door for his master.
After he had done so, Ezekiel alighted and was going to leave Monalissa behind for Louis to take up to the attic. However, the man looked at his subordinate and then at the sleeping Monalissa. Without further thinking, he bent down into the car and swooped her into his strong arms, her face nestled in his neck, her warm breath overwhelming his senses.
The moment he walked through the doors with Monalissa in his hands, a quiet uproar rose in the entire building. The maidens were surprised. The head butler and her assistant were no exception. It wasn't that they had never seen their boss bring a woman home but, carrying her home? And in the most intimate manner. Their mouth stood a gape and they couldn't bring themselves to react for a moment.
Ezekiel wasn't oblivious of their actions but he didn't mind. It was his house and he would do as he pleased. However, he was quite surprised at what he was doing as well. He could have just let Louis bring her up to the attic himself. Why was he doing this?
He was so deep in thought that he didn't realize that he had reached the door. The door recognized his arrival and quickly slide open. At that point, Ezekiel knew that he was in deep shit. He hadn't even realized that he was bringing her to his own room until he placed her on the bed.
Leilani muttered something in her sleep and gave a little pout as if angry that she was being disturbed.
Ezekiel scoffed. "Seriously? In my own room? You should be awake before morning I suppose and I will put you through a lot".
He tucked her in out of habit. He always does that whenever Kayla came around and after each sex. When he looked at her face, that face that was all so inviting, his body reacted. He knew that it wasn't a joke anymore. She was affecting him and he hated it. This wasn't the plan!, he screamed in his head. This wasn't a line in the novel. Still cursing at what his body was doing to him, he heard her stir in her sleep putting him on the edge the more. He hurriedly stood and was about to go...
"No...no please. Don't kill them. No...no", he heard her mutter, kicking away. He looked closely and saw the shiny liquid slid from her eyes.
"She's crying...", he muttered. He had never seen her cry. Walker was too strong to cry except it was something attached to her.
"No... please", she continued pleading.
Still thinking of what to do in that situation, he felt her slender hand grip his arm tightly.
"Please...save me", she pleaded with tears in her eyes.
Ezekiel was even more flustered. He had seen so many sides to Walker today, from her acting at the party to her drunk self and then... now. Having a nightmare. He didn't believe that she was someone with emotions but the scene before him proved him wrong.
He resigned to his fate and sat next to her, patting on her palm. He didn't even realize how tender he patted those soft and slender palms of hers.
The sun rays slid through the tiny slit made by the curtains and smiled beautifully on the two people on the bed. Monalissa stirred in her sleep and opened her eyes. When her eyes finally adjusted to the environment, she covered her mouth in shock. The ceilings looked familiar and the curtains too. She knew where she was. In the devil's room!
She turned to her right and saw the devil sleeping next to her.
"F**ck!", she cursed. She couldn't believe what was going on at the moment. She had to leave. She needed to. She didn't want the devil to wake up and see her in this state. After she had roused herself, she started climbing out of the bed.
"Where do you think you're going?"
That deep menacing voice cringed her back to the bed. She fell with a yelp on his chest that was a little bare, thanks to the first three buttons that were undone.
Her eyes locked with his own. He was looking at her with an expressionless gaze which taunted her so much.
After thinking for a while, she replied, "I'm going to my room".
