Hellbound With You (WN)

”You need something from me? You?! ” Alicia swallowed hard even as she asked him. Even though she should not be surprised anymore, his answer still caused her emotions to flare up once again. ”What is it that you need from me? ”

Ezekiel turned, pulling her along with him towards his room. His free hand went to his shirt, unbuttoning it as they walked along.

”That I can ’t answer. ” Was all he said.

His answer made her grit her teeth and she was about to come at him when he abruptly turned mid-step, causing Alicia to crash right into his now bare chest as his shirt hung open.

She leapt back as far as she could instantly – given his hold on her – as if the contact scalded her.

The look in Ezekiel ’s eyes was serious. He seemed to be wanting to say something, but he was again probably thinking about all sorts of complications first. Damn him! Could he not just blurt things out without thinking first? Does he need to be so responsible all the damn time?

A sigh escaped his lips then he ran his fingers through his hair. He suddenly looked tired of something or exasperated? She could not quite tell the emotions as it was so rare for him to even have emotions crossing his face. All she knew was that she was seeing something so human in him again right now. And that was a miracle in itself.

”Look here, Alicia. You said you ’ll shut up. You agreed earlier. ” He reminded her.

She pressed her lips tight and glared at him, as hard as she could.

He then turned away again and opened his closet. He brought out clothes for him to get changed into. Alicia noticed his white shirt was dirtied with patches of dust from the dungeon.

But that did not concern her. She was still filled with frustration, anger and everything negative. She was unable to calm down at all. As she looked at him, all Alicia wanted to do was pin him down or do whatever that was needed to be done for her to be able to force him to answer all her questions. She continued furiously wracking her head for ideas how to go forward with it.
