CHAPTER 11:His kiss

I ran up the stairs like mad hounds were snipping at my feet and when I burst through the door, I collided with a solid wall which caused me to stumble before a strong hand grabbed my waist and shoved me behind.

The Igris I knew was back and I couldn't help smiling, I was safe now. My relief didn't last for long, because I noticed we were surrounded and worse Igris was bleeding!

What had happened in my absence? "Igris what's going on?" I asked agitated, the creatures surrounding us shrieked and I clutched his robes tightly, "Alleya I will keep you safe, so please trust me just this one time" He said tightly, he was obviously in pain but was maintaining his stance to protect me.

"I trust you Igris, please tell me what's going on and what are those?" I whispered, "Soul crushers, they destroy both body and soul to prevent reincarnation, they are after you Alleya," He replied while surreptitiously moving his left foot. I looked down and saw he was drawing some marks with his left toe, they looked like those spells you would find in most fantasy books, what was he up to? And why the hell were those hideous creatures after me?

"Alleya please I need you to be careful for this to work, right now by maintaining eye contact with their Queen, I've rendered their sight useless and if I break that contact they would realize that you're with me which would cause a messy situation, I want you to step on those marks I made and when the portal opens think about your room, nothing else but your room," He said

"What about you?" I asked worried that this was about to turn into those cliche movies where the hero sacrifices himself to save the girl, "As long as you're alive I'll be fine, now go" He said grunting "But Igris you're hurt, I'm worried about you" I insisted " Stop talking and move Alleya, you think I care about these little cuts while the possibility that I'll lose you in the blink of an eye looms near "Igris said angrily and I quickly stepped unto the writings.

A portal suddenly opened, and I tried so hard to imagine my room, especially my bed. It worked! The next second I was in my room, I hurried to my window and glanced around. Nothing had changed and it was as though I never left, when I looked at the clock I realized that it was almost dawn.

I didn't realize that we had spent that much time away. My thoughts went back to Igris, was he safe? I mean he was immortal so those creatures couldn't kill him right?

I was restless, should I summon him here? Would it work? The problem was that if I did summon him and he appears, I've got only an hour before Mom comes to check on me.

I couldn't tell how badly he was injured since he had shoved me behind his back before ordering me to go. I decided to try, I had an hour, right? Maybe if I greeted Mom before she left the room, she wouldn't have to come into my room and check on me.

I hurried to her room glad that the idea had come to me. When I got to the door, I knocked twice before opening it.

"Good morning Mom" I greeted, she sat up with eyes wide open gawking at me. I would have laughed but I had other things on my mind that I desperately needed to do before I lost my mind.

"You're early today, pigs would fly " she mumbled lying back down after her initial shock had worn off, "yeah, I won't be surprised though" I replied before leaving the room and heading for mine.

As soon as I stepped into my room, I locked the door and sat on my bed. After taking a deep breath, I called out to him "Igris are you there, please come to me" I said softly, holding my breath.

Nothing happened, "Igris come to me", I said louder, nothing happened again. I felt the true claws of fear grip my heart, I didn't want to even consider the possibility that he wouldn't answer my calls.

It was already half an hour and still no sign of Igris, I was numb with fear. There was nothing I could do to find him, I didn't even know where he had taken me to last night.

I walked over to my window and looked at the sky, hoping that I would see him but nothing happened.

Suddenly I was flung back and my windows were closed immediately, I was stunned by what had happened but before I could comprehend a figure materialized from the dark corner of my room.

Igris! I was overjoyed and rushed into his arms hugging him tightly, "Standing by that window is dangerous" he said frowning "I was worried about you since you didn't answer" I replied too happy to care "It's an honor to have you miss me this much Alleya" he drawled, I glanced at him grinning, "Why wouldn't I miss you, you scared me to death" I whined, "My apologies darling, I had to control myself before answering your call" he said while running his thumb over my lips.

"How did you escape?" I asked curiously as he carried me back to bed. "With you out of danger, I could do as I please." He replied, "But you were badly injured," I said, pulling aside his robes to search for the cuts, "The healing process has started already, I'll be fine," he said, but I insisted on seeing how badly he was hurt.

"Stop it Alleya, self-control has its limits and I've already crossed mine a long time ago," He said huskily. I frowned, when I understood what he meant I blushed, thoughts of his injuries fleeing my mind.

"I'm sorry Igris," I said, moving to stand up but his grip tightened. "Kiss me Alleya," he said staring into my eyes, my heartbeat skyrocketed till I could hear each thump, I had always enjoyed our kisses but had never initiated any.

I looked at his lips and then back into his eyes, he was watching me with such intensity that had my thighs clenching. Lifting my head, I placed a soft kiss on his lips, and when I looked into his eyes again, they were half-mast and the glow was back.

"Put me out of my misery Alleya please," he said deeply, his voice barely audible, that was the push I needed and I kissed him with every ounce of passion in me.

Igris responded immediately, he kissed me with an urgency that had me wanting more, I moaned as his tongue teased mine, his hand caressing my thighs while the other crossed my legs behind his back.

His mouth left a trail of kisses from my lips down to my breasts and I could feel moisture increase in between my thighs where the ache drove me insane. However, I was too dazed to figure out when he had taken off my top.

"I promised myself not to lead you on till you were ready but there is something about you Alleya that mocks my goodwill" he murmured before taking a sensitive peak into his mouth, the lace not even protecting against the heat from his mouth.

I gasped as a jolt ran straight to my love hole making me call out his name, my hands gripping his head like a lifeline, "Alleya you don't play fair" he groaned, his hand moving to my center and teasing my clit.

I was on fire, everywhere he touched burst into flames only he could quench. His lips returned to mine while he continued teasing me down there, I started feeling an intense build-up that I couldn't control making me rock his hand in desperation to ease the ache.

I was pushed to the edge with a madness that made me wanton and when he dipped a finger into me, I tipped over, riding the waves that had my body shuddering violently. His kiss had become tender and he broke it off before watching me as my body fell apart in his arms.

I lay my head on his chest briefly while trying to catch my breath. When I had gotten a grip of myself, I tried adjusting properly to look at him, "Stop moving Alleya I beg you" He said in a strained voice, I turned sharply worried that I had hit an open wound.

"I'm so sorry, are you in pain?" I asked watching him with concern, he smiled " I am in pain but not the pain you're thinking of darling but if you could stop moving then I'll have ease" he said

"I don't understand," I said puzzled, he held my left hand and carefully placed it on his thighs, I blushed to the roots of my hair as I realized how stupid I was, I had forgotten that he was real which meant he felt everything a man should feel, but my goodness he was big!

I suddenly felt naughty, I wanted to see Igris lose his precious self-control, looking deeply into his eyes, I ran my hand down his length in one stroke and he jerked sharply, his eyes flashing in warning though he said nothing. I repeated it and he groaned, his eyes closing as he lay back on the bed.

For some reason watching him react this way turned me on and I continued, getting into a slow rhythm that had him pulsing in my hand. Slowly, I increased my pace and his eyes flashed open, he snatched my hand away and flipped me over before capturing my lips in a fierce kiss that drove me wild.

However, the kiss ended abruptly and before I could make a head or tail of what had happened, Igris was gone.
