Chapter 2 - Chapter 2

MORGANA

He wrapped his hands around my waist responding the exact way I wanted him to. It was a very passionate kiss because I had never felt like this not even with Logan. 

His hands trailed down to my breast as he fondled it. I grasped immediately as I didn't know how to react. Then he pulled away from my lips. 

"Are you okay?" He asked, his eyes staring intently into mine but I didn't give him an answer. I tried to withdraw my hands from his neck but he didn't let me. He grabbed them and put them back. 

His gaze went to my lips again and this time around I couldn't help myself as he covered them with his lips. I felt the world tilting and I was hopelessly lost in it, his mouth was warm and tender. 

My mind became hazy as the stranger took my body, joining us together and making us one. I moaned in delight as I was unable to keep in the pleasure I felt. 

********

I woke up covered with the stranger's clothes. I wondered if he had left so I immediately put on my clothes to go find him but he didn't go far. He was just seated at the front of the cave where we had spent the night.

"You're awake?" I asked when I found out he was in deep thought and hadn't noticed when I sat close to him. 

"Yes." He responded, smiling at me. 

At that moment, I didn't know what to say or how to respond to this side of him. I didn't want him to talk about what had happened between us because I knew it was crazy. I didn't regret it even though it was one night I would never forget. 

"About what happened.." He started but I stopped him. 

"You don't have to talk about it, if you don't want to." 

"Well, I do want to talk about it." He turned to face me with the same breathtaking smile on his face. "I loved it and I would like you to stay with me." 

I blushed for the first time in a long time. I had sex with a stranger and he said he loved it. I didn't know how to respond or react to this but I knew I felt excited for some reason. 

"I would love to take you back to my park." He said and suddenly my smile disappeared. I remembered why I was in the forest in the first place, I was on the run for Logan. Now, a stranger was willing to take me to his park when he didn't know anything about me.

"You don't even know me." I responded. 

"Well, I know you were running away from something or someone and I'd like to help you since you saved my life." He said. 

I abruptly raised my head but looked away immediately as his gaze was too intense for me to handle. I had to be careful or a recap of that beautiful moment would happen again.

I would love that though. 

Shit! I was losing focus. 

"What's your name?" He asked me. 

"Morgana." I answered.

"Wow. A beautiful name for a beautiful woman." He responded, making my heart skip a beat. I couldn't explain why I felt this way with a mere stranger. I didn't even know these feelings existed in me after what I had gone through in the hands of Logan, my supposed mate. 

"Who or what were you running from so late at night." He asked me again. At first, I felt like I was giving too much information to this guy but I knew I was going to lose nothing. I actually felt relieved speaking to him about my life. 

"My mate, Alpha Logan made my life a living hell, he would punish me and treat me like shit. He's sleeping with my step sister." I suddenly blurted out. I didn't mean to give out that part of information but again, I thought to myself. 

He's just a mere stranger. 

"I'm sorry you had to go through that. I promise to take care of you from now on." He said, assuring me. 

"Don't make promises you can't keep." I said and turned away. I wasn't sure I believed him, after all we were just strangers to each other. How could he make a promise like that? I wouldn't lie, it felt good to have someone make that promise even though he wasn't going to keep his words. 

"I'll go get us dinner. Stay here and do not move." It was more of an order than a request. I wanted to go with him but I couldn't, the thought that he had made a fake promise got me a little upset with him. 

I waited for some hours and when he wasn't forthcoming, my fear increased. 

What If something bad happened to him? What if his enemies caught up with him again? I was beginning to get worried and have bad thoughts about him. 

I got up and went into the forest unaware of where I was headed to exactly. It was dark and I still couldn't figure out the route he must have taken. I was about to call out his name when I came to the realization that I didn't ask him his name. 

I must have been a fool to give out all that information about me when I knew nothing about him. 

Suddenly, I saw a fire light lit up somewhere in the forest and I smiled. It must have been the stranger. He came back for me just like he promised. I ran towards the fire hoping that he would accept me with hands wide open. When I finally got so close to him, I froze at the spot. 

"My dear Morgana. It's you again. I'm so glad I met you." The heavy baritone voice that I was so used to said. I had run into the devil's trap. 

It wasn't the stranger but my fated mate, Logan.
