Percida

"I don't mind, babe." Ashton claimed her lips once again. His husky voice sounded sexier in this setting. His kiss is now gentler, almost fluid. This unfamiliar sensation Ashton brought to her is slowly destroying her defense. Is she ready to give up everything for Ashton?

She felt like her inside is burning. "I'm melting with his kisses." Cara's thoughts were clear. She wants this, she is enjoying this. But is this right? What happens after this? She let out a faint moan as Ashton's hand grabbed her behind firmly, as if he is trying to control his desires to do more.

"hm, babe." She definitely can feel the dampness of her bikini at the moment. The awakening of her core is indisputable.

Her own moans brought her back to her senses. They promised each other that no one is allowed to fall in love. Is she falling for him? Is this love? Is this lust? She is not sure of her feelings; but she is also afraid to ask Ashton about it.

"What if he is not sure about me, too?" Cara's thoughts made it difficult for her to concentrate. She parted from his lips, still panting from their pleasurable exchange.

Ashton tucked Cara's stray hair behind her ears and whispered to her seductively. "You're making me crazy for you, love."

"I'm sorry, Ashton." She responded. Her answer confused him. But before he was able to ask Cara about it, she planted a soft kiss on his lips again. She then wiped clean his lips as he smiled sweetly back at her. It was such an intimate act. Only loving couples do this to each other… and they are not even a couple. Cara held his cheeks and whispered softly to his ears.

"Limotlimot. You will forget about our intimacy today. We will be back to our normal relations when I stand up." She let go of Ashton and stood up, hastily fixing her smudged lipstick and smoothing down her skirt.

"Hey, love. What were we talking about? I think I dozed off." Ashton asked Cara, as he is feeling lost at the moment.

Cara faced him and smiled like nothing happened. "I was just asking about our next step." She said as she walked back to her seat.

Ashton feels weird about his situation and his hard on is not helping either. "Why am I so aroused?" his thoughts puzzled him. Ashton quickly took a pillow to cover his boner.

Cara saw his reaction. Seeing Ashton cover himself was a sign that he really did forget about their steamy moment together.

"Well, let's wait for Percy to recover. Then we will start with our next plan." He replied.

Cara nodded, accepting his proposition.

"Babe, do you mind? I think I need to go to the toilet." Ashton asked Cara. She clearly knows why he needs to go. She just smiled and acted normal.

Cara went directly to her room while waiting for Ashton. She also decided to freshen up since she needs to stay close to Ashton.

While taking off her clothes, she noticed her wet underwear. "Fu*k, my body was responding to him really well." Her thoughts of Ashton on the other side of the wall relieving himself made her feel more anxious. "I liked everything we did, but I can't settle with being his FUBU." Cara mumbled.

"Aghh, you can do this Cara." She urged herself to calm down and forget about that sexy time with Ashton.

Cara retired to bed with a painful lower abdomen. She definitely did not know how to release that sexual urge she had with Ashton earlier. "Damn that guy for doing this to me." She buried her face in her pillow.

Is it fair for Ashton that she undid his memory of their zealous exchange? Ashton on the other hand, clueless of what Cara did, but still his fondness for Cara did not go with the memories.

The next day, Cara and Ashton invited Percy to the maze. It was a sunny day, but Cara's disposition is not nowhere near being sunny. Although she needed to show everyone she's perfectly okay.

"Where are we going?" Percy asked the two.

"You will see when we get there." Cara smiled at Percy. She wants her to experience the mixture of feelings she had; amazement and mourning at the same time.

Standing in front of the huge gate, Percy started feeling their ancestors' powers. It made her knees weak. Cara was fast about to notice the effect on Percy. Her tears were flowing while she helped her reach the center.

"This is the resting place of our ancestors. This is our coven." Percy declared to Cara.

Cara nodded and agreed to her conclusion. "Can you feel them?" Cara asked Percy.

"I can feel my own soul in this place." Her vague answer triggered more questions for Cara.

"What do you mean?" She wanted more answers from Percy.

"I am from the fire faction. And I am the last of my family. I was not able to lead my faction properly because I lack power to lead them." Percy explained, while her tears could not stop falling.

"The leaders of my faction were burned alive, tied on wooden poles. In this very place…" she added. Curiosity aroused in her. "How did you secure this place?" She further asked, realizing they are inside Ashton's estate.

"It is my family's job." Ashton answered.

Percy raised her eyebrows. "You are the Sakalam's servant?" She was trying to confirm it with Ashton.

"Yes, the one and the only. Heir of the Crafter Co. Empire and the servant of the Sakalam." Ashton answered with a smile.

Percy found it weird, but she just smiled back at Ashton. She faced Cara. "Do you mind me sharing your room tonight?" Percy tried her luck.

"Of course." Cara answered. She was eager to share her room with Percy, since she wanted to know more about her. How witches lived in the 20th century and the struggles she faced since she was a kid knowing who she really is. These are just the few questions she is very eager to recognize from another person's perspective.

Percy's heart jumped when she saw the secret room of Cara. For a moment she thought it would be the three of them sharing the bed.

"Good night ladies, I'll head to bed first." Ashton said as he closed the door.

"So this is how it works." Percy said, while looking around Cara's room.

"Hmm, so you know my situation with Ashton." She clarified.

Percy sat on Cara's bed. "I've got to be honest. I did not readily realize that he is your assigned servant." She chuckled. "I thought you have not met your servant yet. I mean you could have not married him right?" Cara was trying to figure out Percy.

She lay on the bed "I'm not sure if I'm following you, dear." She directly said to Percy.

"I mean, you are the only witch in history to marry your servant. This is taboo for our kind." Percy said it without batting an eyelid.

Percy's revelation surprised her. She is sure that Ashton is aware, but never mentioned it to her.

Percy instantly noticed the change in Cara's expression. "You are not in love with him, right?" She wanted clarification from Cara.

"Does it matter?" Cara trying to escape Percy's confrontation.

"Well, it matters when he can't love you back." Percy replied.
