Reasons

My eyes widened, I knew whose voice this was but that could not be true, I erased his memory, I jumped up and turned around. I lost my voice as my eyes landed on James but I gathered myself to speak "What are you doing here? How did you find my place and how do you still remember me?"

He smirked, he was standing behind the couch and with a swift jump he was in front of it and moving towards me, a natural instinct could have made anyone step back but I stood there because I needed to know why my magic didn't work on him.

He just came closer and placed a hand on my waist pulling me closer to his body as it touched his, his grip was firm as if he didn't ever want me to escape but instead of answering my question he said "Let's first continue what you started."

I was at a loss not knowing what he was talking about but then his other hand gently grabbed the back of neck and instantly his lips landed on mine intoxicating me. I remembered I had kissed him to erase his memory but how did he remember everything. He kissed me gently at first but then as if he was hungry for more his kiss hardened, he sucked at my lips, I was breathing heavily but I wanted more, oh closed my eyes completely forgetting what was happening as if his kiss had shut my brain down. His tongue licked my lips and as if they knew what he was asking, they responded parting on there own, he smiled as his tongue moved inside my mouth as a response mine played with his, he finally let go of my lips when I could not breathe. His cold lips then sucked my hot skin of the neck, my heart was beating too loud that it echoed in my almost empty house, I finally managed to speak with tears streaming down my eyes, he had already seen them so let it be "Please stop it, leave me alone."

He let go of me and I stepped back, without waiting for him to say anything, I just sat back on the couch, I was too tired. I was tired of being alone, tired of fighting myself, tired of fighting for the one's I loved and tired of making people forget about me, it was so painful to be not able to say hello to the person you spent happy memories with, if you ever bumped into them.

He sat next to me maybe he could feel my pain so he simply spoke "I don't know why but I think just the way I can't read your mind maybe the same way, your magic can not work on me. You see there are other witches and wizards whose mind I can read, it's only yours I can't. Your magic worked fine on my family, they don't remember you but it didn't work on me. I felt something stop, something push me away, my mind went blank for a moment but then I returned. I followed you and saw what you did and your address was given to me by your friend."

I didn't look at him but there was pain in my voice which I tried to suppress but it had become impossible "Alright, whatever it is, just stay away from me."

He smirked "Why don't you like me?"

I opened my eyes and with a determination on them looked into his, a fierce gaze I gave to scare men away, I knew it would not work on him but at least my work will carry some weight "No, I don't, why do you think so highly of yourself, I don't like clingy people like you."

I thought he would feel insulted and leave but he didn't instead he smirked but this time it was cold, he emitted such a cold aura that it chilled me to my spine. He entangled me between his legs as he was on top of me placing the hand on the couch behind "You want to say that you are such a good actress that you fooled me with giving into my kissed and your heart beat was also just an acting."

I had to give in at this moment and I shouted "I don't want you to die, if you stay close to me, you will die and all the other people who stay close to me and now that he is back, I have to be alone or more lives will be gone."

He let go of me and stood up, I looked at him and continued "I don't want to endanger any lives so please leave me alone."

I stood up and turned to leave to take a bath when he held me from my back and whispered in my ear "I want to endanger my life for you if that is what you are worried about, I don't care what you say, I will stay besides you."

He let go of me and without turning towards him I headed to the washroom as I didn't have any more energy left in me to reason with this man because according to me he was beyond reasoning.
