A MAZE OF GREED

"Don't stop, Ruth. Run, run!" Thea yelled again while moving her hands. Before Edwin turned her around and got a chance to see her face, Ruth pulled her hand up and jabbed his nose. Edwin wailed in pain as he felt his nose go numb with pain. Instinctively he freed Ruth to cover his nose with both hands. He bent over a little as his eyes watered because of pain. "You!" He hissed in anger as he leapt again for Ruth. But she managed to run before he could catch her again. Her head turned around in shock when Edwin's hand tore her dress when he tried to grab her. It also surprised Edwin as he had not intended for this to happen. He looked up from the piece of cloth in his hand to see gorgeous hazel eyes. He stood rooted to his spot as his mind went blank. Ruth managed to get out of the property and ran with Thea without looking back. The guard came panting, but Edwin didn't notice him as his eyes were still trained on the gap in the wall, through which Ruth escaped. He slowly looked at the brown fabric in his hand, and the image of those alluring hazel eyes flashed in his mind. He clutched the fabric tightly in his hand, and the word left his lips in a whisper.

ARE YOU...UPSET WITH ME?

The next day, Ruth woke up in Edwin's arms but did not want to get away from him, so she pretended to lay still.

"You do not need to pretend. If you want then you can just ask me to stay." She heard his raspy voice sending tingles to the side of her waist.

"Will you stay then?" She whispered, still not over the last night.

After that kiss and some more of them, they fell asleep in his bed without reaching any conclusions. Ruth still did not know if he was alright with what she told him.

Edwin was about to open his mouth in answer when his eyes suddenly darkened, and he went still staring behind Ruth.

And that was enough clue for Ruth. Even if he wanted to stay, he couldn't!

She waited until Edwin finished his conversation through the mindlink and his eyes turned to their natural colour.

"You can't right?"

He sighed, throwing his head back in the pillow and staring at the ceiling.

"You look tired." Ruth noticed as she looked up at him resting her chin on his chest.
