CHAPTER 11
MARSHA'S POV:-
I opened my eyes and gasped loudly for air. Breathing heavily, I held my hand on my chest. I did not know since when I was not able to breath. But my lungs were on fire. Once my breaths were even, I stood straight and looked around. I was sitting in a garden. And it felt as if I had seen that garden many times.
I froze as two arms sneaked around my waist. The arms were long and strong. I started breathing heavily again as I felt someone hugging me from behind. "What is it, Mira? Did you not remember me?" He whispered in my ear. I shut my eyes as suddenly I started to feel something throbbing between my legs.
"Stupid Mira. How can I react like this? I am not a teenager. So what if I am a virgin. That does not mean that my panties should be wet every time a man would hug me." I thought to myself. He brought his nose towards my neck and buried his face in the crock of my neck. He inhaled deeply as if he was filling his lungs with my scent. I had to dig my nails in my thigh to control myself from reacting.
"Who are you? And how do you know the name Sierra called me with?" I asked him and he chuckled. He unwrapped his arms and turned me around. He cupped my face with both of his hands. My heart was beating wildly inside my rib cage. He came closer to me and pecked my forehead. He almost pressed his body with mine. He let go of me after a minute. I gulped hard as he took a few steps backwards but only to drool over me, from head to toe. My palms got sweaty as he kept staring at me as if he was a hungry wolf, staring at his prey.
He then came closer again and pushed me. I gasped and waited for my body to collide with a hard floor. But instead of a hard floor, I fell on a comfy soft bed. He hovered over me and pinned me with the bed. He stared into my eyes for a minute. Then he leaned in and pecked my neck. I gasped as he started peppering kisses all over my neck. It felt as if he was enjoying this torture he was giving me. "You asked me as if you don't know me, Mira. You know me. Not with your brain but with your heart. Ask your heart, am I familiar?" He whispered softly and got back to his work.
Then he started sucking the skin of my neck. I moaned softly as he grazed my sweet spot between his teeth. "I know what pleases you more. I remember your weak spots. I know everything about you, Mira." He whispered and let go of my hands. My brain wanted to push him away but my heart wanted him on me. I moved my hands but instead of pushing him away, I interviewed my fingers with his soft hair. The torture he was giving me, it was sweet and familiar. As if I had known this feeling.
He pulled himself off of my neck and stared into my eyes. His eyes went towards my lips then back at my eyes. His eyes were pleading and his smile was begging something from me. A permission to let him do what he wanted. He wanted to taste my mouth. I gulped hard and cupped his hands with shaky hands. I looked at his lips. My throat went dry as I looked at his juicy lips. They looked delicious and welcoming. I looked up at his eyes. He leaned in and I held my breath. This was what I wanted. I wanted to taste his mouth. I waited, but it never came.

I woke up again and felt myself cuddling with a hard pillow. I was still sleepy. I did not know why but I was tired. I was not able to open my eyes fully. But somehow, I managed to force myself to open my eyes. I looked at the man who saved my life in that house. The very man I had seen in my dreams twice. I cuddled up with him. More like wrapped around his body. I wanted to push him away but I did not even have strength to raise a finger to poke his arm.
I started shivering with the crisp of the chilly air of winter. I sneezed twice, that was when he also opened his eyes. As he noticed me shivering. He covered my body with the comforter and pulled my small figure even closer. He wrapped his arms and legs around me. As if to protect me from everything that could harm me. His warmth felt so familiar. I did not know but could not help it. I snuggled more into him and buried my face in the crock of his neck.
I just did not know why, but I did not feel awkward being this close to him. He was not wearing any shirt but still it did not feel awkward to me. His warmth made me feel better in that chilly weather. I did not understand why I was cold. I never hated the winter season. In fact I was one of the people who enjoyed the winter season. Cold really never did any harm to me.
"You tried to fight a demon when you had neither experience, nor any information about demons and how to kill them. Did you want to commit suicide?" He asked me in a calmed tone. I tried to answer him but I was tired.
"You can sleep as much as you want. No one will hurt you, Mira. I promise I will protect you. I promise I will not let anyone hurt you. I will not make that mistake again." He said in a sweet tone that made my heart flutter inside my rib cage. His warmth was making me feel funny things inside my stomach. Like something was tickling my stomach from the inside.
"Close your eyes, Mira. Go to sleep. You need your strength back to be able to wake up tomorrow. Don't be afraid of me. I would never harm you. You know that too." He whispered into my ear. My heart was drumming crazily inside my rib cage as his hot breath fanned over the cold skin of my neck. I also wrapped my arms around his neck and my legs around his waist. I did not care about anything at that moment. I just closed my eyes and after seven years of hell, for the first time I slept peacefully.
