Hellbound With You (WN)

Boldly, Alicia grabbed onto his collar. Her eyes now gleaming with determination, not to be stopped by anything or anyone. Especially not Ezekiel himself. ”Listen here, Ezekiel. I no longer plan to spend my remaining days hating you or fighting with you. I have decided to do whatever I want… without any reservations. So don ’t waste your time – or mine – trying to distract me or scare me. All those tactics, they won ’t be working on me anymore. ” She told him off directly, knowing that he would find some ways to detract her from carrying out her plans.

Hearing what she said, his whole person went very still. His expression did not change much, but his eyes sharpened at what she had said. It was as though he was a predator, stilled and poised in its position, just waiting for the right moment to attack.

Then his hand was on her chin again, pinching it gently. ”Whoever said that I was trying to distract and scare you? I am just trying to make you stop being stubborn and take my words seriously, Alicia. I told you, I always end up breaking my rules when it comes to you… and you should know what that means by now. That means there ’s no more rules that can bind me from doing whatever I want with you. ” His voice pitched lower with much meaning, causing Alicia ’s heart to stutter and skip a couple of beats.

”And whoever said that I am not taking your words seriously, Ezekiel? ” she shot back, unyielding, not wanting to lose ground to him as well. ”I know that you are being very serious right now, but I also know what kind of man you are. I ’ve never met or known anyone with the kind of crazy self-control that you have and are capable of. You ’ve already proven that to me time and time again. I know that you ’ll always end up being fully in control of yourself like you always do… and that ’s why I am not even hesitating to offer up my blood to you. ” Alicia countered him smoothly as she saw one of his brows raised at her comeback.

A disbelieving smile curved at his lips. And for a moment there, she saw such a beautiful gleam flashed across his eyes. It was just too bad because the smile and that look in his eyes were extremely quick to disappear – just like quicksilver – and got immediately replaced with his usual seriousness. Alicia sighed and thought to herself on when it will be next before she could appreciate that beautiful view again.
