Chapter 24: Fwb?

MIRANDA 'S POV -

I didn't even know what time it was. The sun had set hours ago. Ken had allowed me to finish my practise only after I had completed the meditation session without being restless for hours at a stretch. That was 'at least' according to him. For me, it was more than I thought I was capable of.

My entire being ached as I headed towards the door. "Same time tomorrow.", Ken barked as I replied," You told me at least 20 times and i didn't have short term memory loss disorder the last time I checked."

I quickly exited the room before he could say anything else. I stalked the halls with an audible rumbling stomach and sleep laden eyes. Upon entering my room, I saw a visibly sleepy Samarah in her PJ's.

She managed to blurt out," Kendall had come looking for you quite a few hours back." ,befor her head hit the pellow and she began to snore like it was nobody's business.

Already tired beyond measure, I took slow steps towards Kendall's room but an audible gurgle from my stomach made me realise that Kendall could wait a little longer even if she were in death's arms.

So I rushed towards the dining hall to make peace with the demon in my stomach who ate as if it were it's last meal ever. Then I fast paced my way towards Kendall but stopped at the threshold.

The lights in her room were off which meant that she was probably asleep. I looked down again catching a look at my sweaty traning clothes and quietly walked back to my room thinking that it was best to meet Kendall tomorrow.

KENDALL'S POV -

I had been lying on my bed with the lights switched off, hoping that somehow the dark would soothe my burning skin. I was aching badly for him and I knew it.

I just hoped that Miranda would appear any moment now. So, that she could stop me when the time came. (It was not a matter of whether anymore. It was when.)

Out of the blue, I smelled him. Just outside my door. My entire being woke up in a frenzy. Taking a deep breath in, I realised that his scent was rapidly fainting now. I sat up on the bed as the realization hit me: There is no turning back now.

Within the blink of an eye, I was outside my room and into the hallway almost breaking the door in the process. With long strides, I covered the enormous hallway within 5 minutes before sniffing the air for his scent.

It was very weak but it was there. He was moving even faster than me it seemed.

I broke into a run now, almost desperately following his lingering scent. Passing by a huge black door, I followed a set of twists and turns; finally standing before an emrald green door with light trickling from underneath it.

My next breath came out ragged as the realization of what I was about to do hit me. My body fought my mind. I wanted him but I couldn't bring myself to just force him if he said no. But I couldn't stop myself unless he himself pushed me away.

My limbs quickly lost the fast pace they had picked up. Soon, I fell to my knees unable to control my internal battle. But my body never stopped. Even in this state it urged itself on as I managed to reach the threshold of the door before my limbs gave out.

I felt my vision blur as bright lights fell on face and I heard a cracking sound. Then two hands slid under my body and my heart picked up pace.

I felt as if I was floating on a cloud before opening my eyes to behold the ruggedly handsome Ken's face. I arched my back up on his bare hands managing to lift my lips to his ears as I whispered a single word, "Sorry..",making him stop in his tracks. Then I gave in to my carnal urges.

Sliding my fingers across his hair, I pulled back making his eyes roll back to his skull before animalistically crashing my lips with his soft ones.

My tongues worked on its own, wondering about his mouth but surprisingly instead of holding back, his tongue crashed my mouth with the same intensity. We continued till both of us could no longer continue, panting for breath. One gaze at each other and we locked lips again before falling softly on his bed with me on top of him.

All the carnal urges broke loose and I was no longer in control of myself. My lips rolled off from his lips and neck and continued to travel downwards until barred by the fabric on his body. I slashed of the thin material with a single stroke of my elongated nails before rushing down to bite his skin as I heard a breathy moan escape his lips.

Good to know that he was at least enjoying this because I couldn't fathom what awaited me after we were done.
