We are a stranger

The road home was easier because the emperor had bestowed his best stallions as their transportation.

They were riding nonstop and no one was talking or making a gesture. Both of them acted as two strangers who were happened to be on the same path coincidently.

So far, their journey home had been smooth sailing, but without warning, a group of 10 men in black was blocking their way with a big freshly cut tree while they launched their attack with their firearms.

"It's the rebels, jump out the horse, now!!"Damian shouted and before he jumped, he aimed his gun to the closest man accurately at his heart. Nine more rebels to go.

Venusa was hiding behind a big tree trunk on the opposite side of Damian. She was firing ferociously with deadly precision at the two men who were charging at Damian. They drop dead like flies. Seven more to go.

One of the bulky guys shrieked, " Kill the Marshal!"

Before she could respond, the rebels closed on him. From far away, she saw one of the rebels was aiming at him meticulously, while the others only launched simultaneously attack to distract him.

Without thinking, she ran toward him and throw her homemade grenade to distract the enemies.

"Boom!" the impact of the small bomb had sent three of them lying coldly on the ground. Four more to go.

At the same moment, a bullet was flying in the direction of Damian's heart, Venusa was jumping toward him and using her body as a shield. The bullet lodged on her back instead. Instantly, she felt that the whole world was spinning around and the darkness was engulfing her. She passed out on his sturdy chest.

Damian was raging with madness while hugging her unconscious body, he was firing without mercy, and within minutes, all of their enemies were annihilated without dignity.

With a worried look, he was carrying her limp body to a nearby cave.

In the cave.

Gradually, Venusa was awakened from her heavenly dream. In her dream, Damian Shen was kissing her gentle and demonstrate his love with great care. Startled, she knew that the heavenly view was only an illusion created by her inner thought. But then, she caught Damian Shen somber expression when he gently put an antibiotic paste near her shoulder area. Half of her body was lying on his lusty chest as a cushion. Gone was her corset, she was completely topless while his hands touch her boobs unintentionally while he wrapped her gently.

The sight of him without his cold mask was a vision to behold. Inwardly, her heart was crying with deep compassion toward her one and only lover. But, her mask was able to disguise any emotional turmoil she experienced at the moment.

Stuttering, she said, " Thank...you.., Marshall Shen!" she addressed him with his title but at a split-second, she caught his blazing eyes.

'Was something upsetting him?' she thought to herself.

Damian Shen was mad when she addressed him coldly. But why? Isn't this was he want? He was unable to keep calm when the petite woman gawking at him with an innocent attractiveness. He had held himself at bay and not to devour her lavishly. Uncomfortably, his desire was stirred like lava ready to come out from the volcano.

" You are lucky.., It was not a mortal wound! Thanks to your special corset! I fathom now that it was bulletproof, but the impact of the bullet still shock you to faint when the bullet was imbedded halfway on your back, but It was easy for me to take it out and tended to your bullet wound.....I should be the one to thank you instead of saving my life."

After he was done with her bandage, he worked on putting back her military shirt with her corporation and buttoned it up slowly and exotically.

She gasped when his long fingers touch her sensitive area accidentally. "Let me do it myself!"

He ignored her and keep working to buttoned her up.

It was two buttons to go but it felt like an eternity has gone by. Both of them were looking at each other bodies with longing, but they denied their fluttering hearts and abruptly killed their desire with strong determination and cold shoulders.

Both were thinking that Love was not in their dictionary, love would become a barrier for their mission, and love could never exist between them.

"Let's go before the rebels send their reinforcement, our horses are unharmed and waiting outside." He lifted her gently and hugged her tightly.

Outside the cave, he was lifting her up to her stallion but surprisingly he straddling behind her and take over the leash.

She questioned him with her confused look.

"You are hurt, it's another hour to the capital city if we go slower, and I have to use the other horse to carry out our miscellaneous stuff, she will follow us because the horse we are riding is her mate."

She nodded in agreement even though she questioned her insanity for listening to him.

The ride home was tortuous and outrageously shocking for her. His bulging beast nestled on her bottom comfortably while every time they swayed forward she hissed in agony.

'Darn!' she was swearing under her breath. Their closeness was too much for her to bear, her body had become taut with her unfulfilled desire.

"Are you alright? Do you need to rest?" Damian asked only because her body had become tense.

"I am alright, Marshall.., we can't stop.., the enemies might send reinforcement."

"It was my fault not to go back with Marshal Lang.., I promised Leah that I will come back home as soon as I can, I'm sorry!" He told her with a gentle tone.

"I understand, I will do the same thing for my son!"

"You have a son?"

"He was at the same age as Leah!"

She remembered in her past life, she was so excited to give him the news that she was five months pregnant with his heir, only to listen to his conversation to another woman that was also pregnant with his child.

"His father?"

"I'm a single mom, I had left my husband because he was cheating on me!" She intentionally used that moment to curse the powerful man behind him and said," He is a womanizer and a scoundrel, he impregnates the other woman, I wish I never love him!"

A surge of jealousy run through his inner stomach like a jolt of electricity when she admitted her love for the other man. "I am glad for you that you left that good for nothing, useless man!"

Unknowingly to him, He was swearing at himself. She smiled mischievously.

"Do you love Leah mom?" She could not resist to ask him the question that had been embedded in her heart.

"I won't answer to that..., you are only my personal guard..., you have no right to know!"

"You are cheating on her, with me!! Why can't I know?" She asked slyly.

"I told you already, It was a one time deal just to satisfy our curiosity.., I am just a man with normal need.., and I didn't cheat on her because she is not my wife!"

"So..., do you cheat on your late wife with her?"

"Guard Lee..., don't test my patience and stop asking me about my personal matter!" He then has an idea to keep her quiet.

In an instant, he was galloping hastily toward the Capital city. The speed had caused their body swayed intimately as one body, which almost similar to a lovemaking movement, the only difference is that it was without consummation. Her face had turned red and she was breathlessly seeking for the moment their body slammed in impact.

Damian felt her budding desire and heard her moans with pleasure while she was moving her rounded hips closer to his swollen shaft.

He swore under his breath when his beast was seeking her warmth core. Intentionally, he was rubbing himself in between her curve buttocks and their body momentum caused him to gasp with pleasure and intense desire. He was holding himself not to spill like a teenager in heat.

Unable to control himself anymore, he stopped galloping and jumped out from the horse to head toward the nearby bushes. Spontaneously, he let his beast free like he was taking a pee, but he grunted when he spilled his seeds on the ground. He was disgusted with himself and cursed the unbearable embarrassing moment.

He got back on the horse while she was chuckling with astonishment.

"Are you sure that what we have was just a one night stand?" She mocked him mercilessly.

"I'm a robust man and I was without a woman touch for so long.., you just happened to be free and available!" he retorted to defend himself.

However, his mind was muddled with his unexplainable strong reaction toward her.

She did not possess a beautiful face or an angelic face like any woman he bedded in the past, but her petite toned body had driven his climax desire tantalizingly.

He should probably indulge himself with another woman to prove that his absurd feeling for her was only because of her delicious body.
