Death's Game - Episode 16

 

Previously on Death's game

I flinched away and fell on my butt as I gasped at such cruelty. Where they really his parents?

"Why mum?" he asked looking at Parish for an answer but all she offered was a smile and he turned to Alex "why dad?" Still no answer. Derick looked so heartbroken, he wasn't even bothered that he was bleeding to death. In fact he looked like he welcomed it and my heart broke seeing him like this . I had never felt so pathetic all my life because all I could do was hug my knee to my chest and cry as I watched the drama unwrap itself and fade away.

"Mil, wake up. Snap out of it"

"So cruel" I mumbled over and over again still rocking my body in solid arms. "Why?" My lips quivered, how did he survive this long? I looked up at a worried Derick. I was afraid for him.

The scar. I pulled away from him, grabbed his left hand and twisted it in my hands. It stood out smooth, thin and long. Mum had told me about it, I had totally forgotten. I traced the cut gently and leaned in to kiss it. "I am so sorry".

I expected him to pull away but when I heard him groan I didn't want him to stop making that sound. My whole body went on a frenzy.

"Sorry, kind of sensitive there" Derick blushed a little

. Cute. I know this was supposed to be a delicate issue but I had never felt so close to him, I couldn't control my body and I wasn't quite sure when I left the couch and was straddling him.

"Mil, you alright?" He asked uncertain

"Since when do you ask me that when we make out?" I giggled so very distracted by his firm lips and before he could answer, my lips were locked in his tasting paradise.

"Mmm" a moan escaped my lips and just when I was about to pull him in closer. He pushes me away. I was confused and maybe a little angry

"What, don't you want me?"

"I do want you" he replied quickly. He looked almost shocked I had asked.

"But what?" I stammered

Truthfully I wasn't sure I wanted to here the answer especially if he was going to say he didn't love me or something along those lines. I wouldn't handle it well.

I held my breathe just incase of what I was yet to know but the answer didn't come.

"Just spill" I shouted to angry to care I was still straddling him.

"I don't want a pity make out session" he shouted back and my whole demeanor shifted from anger to understanding. How could I have neglected how he felt or even forget the situation.

"I am sorry" I whispered and his face fell. He still didn't get it. I shook my head and lifted his face to meet mine.
"I am sorry I forgot the situation but I can't help the fact that I feel closer to you and happier. That was no pity make out session that... this" I leaned down to capture his lips softly "is how much I want you, need you and love you. I just feel whole with you now" I completed my speech from my heart. I never knew I was such a romantic.

Derick took a long look at me as if trying to piece everything I just said together and grabbed me by the waist, stood unexpectedly and on reflex I wrapped my hands around his neck and my legs around his waist.

"I think we should take this to the bedroom" he whispered in my ears causing me to shiver as he walked up the stairs. "Girls shouldn't know how to use words so well.

. You got me flustered" he looked me deep in my eyes. Was he serious?

"My Derick, flustered?" I blushed "so what now"

"Now, I am going to teach you a lesson on why you shouldn't get a man flustered"

"And why is that O'scary Derick"

He smirked "Because I am going to make love to you and you will never look at another but me".

"oh, but I never planned on looking at another or are you scared I might leave you" I said smugly. I was never ever going to leave him for another and the truth was his words hit at my core, made my body long and I couldn't stop my tongue from darting out and moisturising my lips like I could taste the words he spoke. I lifted myself up a bit to taste him again but this time it wasn't sweet, I needed him. This kiss was primal as our tongues tasted each others mouths. I held unto him as tight as I could like I could never get close enough.

**********

"I was thinking" I looked up to find him smiling down at me while I trailed a finger on his very sculptured chest with our naked bodies melding perfectly into each others. "That was fun" I smiled

"Want to go another round?" I smirked when I saw his amused face.

"Anything for you babe" he responded with a kiss.

Please stop this nonsense now. Death was back.
Why did I think this would last long. I sighed. I guess the real world had to show up sometime.

What now?

I need you to save some people. His voice stern.

He was serious.

Um, am I the only one who sees the wrong picture here?
