Chapter 27 - In the city

She laid on the bed silently still trying to catch her breath her mind replayed the scene that just happened and she closed her eyes in embarrassment her face blushed, luckily Melvin came on time, her heart soon returned back to calmness and she picked her self up, wrapping her self with the sand brown bed sheet and she strolled to the bathroom. As the bedsheet dropped she stood in front of the mirror the hickeys on her body were even more than the last time, almost all her body except her stomach, legs, her face and some parts of her hand, she sighed, locked the door securely and filled the wooden bath tub with warm water and hoped in. Outside the room, in the study across the hall, Ezra sat leisurely on the sofa with a dark expression, he was this close and Melvin had to knock and spoil everything, "what?" he asked, "is that a bite, an hickey!!" Melvin exclaimed "who was in the room with you?" Melvin asked "my little thief" Ezra muttered straight forwardly and Melvin looked at him in shock "things have gone this far between you both?, you even brought her here yourself and without my knowledge" Melvin exclaimed "how come I am completely oblivious about this?" he cried "is this why you interrupted me" Ezra asked with a dark expression and Melvin sighed then turned serious "I found out the witches are already in the city and they are being assisted by a strong force in this city, according to what I discovered ten little kids have disappeared from the city and they are all from the lower class, so definitely Guttric city's mass killing would soon begin" Melvin said and silence filled the study, Ezra looked out of the window with no particular expression, "what about the other cities that experienced the massacre?" Ezra asked "I discovered they really want to carry out the ritual, they want to lead all living creature" Melvin said and Ezra hit the table in anger, "keep this from Hazel, we would carry out the repelling ritual to throw them out of Guttric city" he said "but the ritual wouldn't be strong if she isn't there" Melvin said "she would be there for the ritual, hide every other thing from her" Ezra said, "Really, you aren't planning to tell me?, why?, because I am too weak to handle such news" Hazel's voice suddenly came from the door and the heads of the two men shot towards her, she was dressed in one of Ezra's robe, it looked so big on her petite body, coupled with her rosy after bath face, she looked cute and lovely, her neck was exposed and one could easily sight the love bite scattered around it, Melvin made a fake cough and turned away with a blushed face while Ezra gestured that she come over, he had a sly smile on his face and she didn't trust it at all, she adjusted the robe and ignored him and Ezra frowned slightly, "I was once approached by a strange man from Verga city, he told me about the massacre being carried out in every city across the seas and mountains and he told me about the witches aspirations, he asked me to help him beg "his majesty" to save Verga city and when I rejected him he turned fierce and eventually disappeared" Hazel said and Melvin frowned "who is his majesty?, the mayor?" he asked "Ezra is the "his Majesty", he didn't explain he just kept saying his majesty" Hazel said "is the man a divination master" Melvin asked "what's that?" she asked "divination masters come from five different families and they all stay in Verga city, they can also be called seers but they use divinations to see, what they see is always very accurate and if you doubt them you aren't doing well for your self but they don't see complete at most times that is the only fault I would say they have" Melvin explained "oh, I don't know, the man was dressed so dirty and he was behaving crazy" Hazel said "there are many possibilities that he his a divination master, it's a good thing he already informed you" Melvin said "so what did he say about us" Ezra asked staring deeply at Hazel like he was pearing into her soul with a kind of smile on his face, Hazel frowned, the grip she had on the robe tightening, "he said nothing'' she muttered and Ezra suddenly appeard in front of her, she shifted back immediately till her back was against the wall and she had no where to run, he smiled trapping her there with his hand, Melvin on the other hand fled immediately he wasn't going to get his innocent mind tainted. "the robe looks good on you, it makes one curious about what is underneath that baggy cloth" Ezra whispered and she fixed the robe again, "you tore my clothes, I need a new cloth, I have to go back home" she said hastily "to that coward" he asked with a dark expression "I am going anywhere as far as I am away from you" she said with a frown and he raised her chin and planted kiss on her plump lips "unfortunately that won't be happening tonight" he said his hand suddenly slipping into the robe and around her waist, pulling her closer, her eyes widened, she was completely clueless about how he loosened the robe "Ezra please let me go, I..." "Shhh" he muttered with his middle fingers on her lips shutting her up "let's treat your hand it's making me hungry" he muttered and picked her up then placed her on the desk his hands supporting her weight, her eyes flashed with discomfort, her gaze avoiding his, the loose, oversized robe had its soft fabric draping elegantly around her curves, "Hold still," Ezra whispered, his voice low and gentle as he rubbed the wound, she tensed, her body rigid as he cleaned the wound on her arm, the wound stingd but his fingers brushed against her skin and she hardly felt the sting, his fingers sent a shiver down her spine she didn't trust him, but her body seemed to betray her, accepting his every move, as he worked, the silence between them was tense, the only sound the soft rustling of the cloth, she felt trapped, her eyes darting around the room for an escape but his gaze suddenly held hers, his eyes soft and gentle, yet piercing, "are you okay," he whispered, his voice low and playful, "it doesn't hurt right?" he muttered and blew cool breeze on the wound, she looked away, her heart racing, her mind screaming warnings but her body seemed to relax, her tension easing, as if her traitorous heart was listening to his words, believing his words, his hand suddenly slid into her robe to her slender waist and she flinched, he smirked then picked her up and strolled into the bedroom, he placed her on the bed and covered her with the bedsheet like he was putting a child to sleep then he kissed her lips, "go to sleep, you have done enough for a day" he said softly and she obediently shut her eyes but her body remained tensed until she felt him stand up from the bed and stroll to the bathroom.
