Then all of my thoughts fall on me, and I freeze.
No, she couldn’t…
I think she did.
“She helped me find the waitress position. She knew I was working that night. Oh my God, what if…”
“What if she was the one who lured Marshall? Is that what you wanna say?”
“Yes! What if she worked with him behind my back?”
“Then why did she kill him just now? Why didn’t Marshall write about that in his journal?”
Well, I have to admit that his words make so much more sense than what is going on in my head.
“Ok, yes, you are right, but I still don’t think that Marshall appearing that night at the restaurant was a coincidence. Bianca started to know me really well. She knew what kind of men attracted me.”
“But what she didn’t know was if Marshall would fall for it.”
“Why do you have to be so right all the time? You organise the ideas in here too much,” I say, frustrated, pointing to my head.
“That’s why I’m here for, love," he says, taking my hand into his.
I smile. It’s so annoying that he makes me melt whenever I hear it.
Love.
“Why are you calling me that?” I ask him, curious about his answer, leaving aside our serious discussion for a couple of seconds.
“What?Love?” he asks with a raised eyebrow and a cute and sweet smile.
“Yes. You didn’t even ask me…”
“I don’t need to ask you to know that you’re my girlfriend,” he interrupts me. “I told you before that you’re mine. I’m just claiming you by calling you like that. Let it be clear whose you are. And let me tell you something else," he says, getting close to my ear to whisper. “I will make you scream my name for everybody to know what they’re losing. To let them know who's got you. You have no idea what plans I have for both of us. All you have to know is that they are magnificent from all points of view,love.”
He slowly bites my earlobe, sending a tingling sensation in my whole body, making me moan softly.
We are lucky that the others’ voices covered us. Otherwise, they would’ve heard me.
“What if one of us doesn’t get out alive from this madness?” I ask seriously, and Lucas takes both of my hands.
“We will conquer together, Anmara. I won’t promise you, because I already learned that promises are usually empty words, but I will protect us with all the weapons I’ll have available. Always, especially you. You didn’t hear me when I spoke? Nobody will stay in our way. We’ll rule over hell if we need to. All for us to be together, safely.”
He jumps with his lips on mine, kissing me like this is our last day together, and I hold onto his neck to not fall on my back. I kiss him back, getting a muffled moan out of Lucas, followed by his hands squeezing my arse hard. My moans are blocked by the strong kiss. His tongue starts to play with mine in a sensual and deadly rhythm.
His lips break away from mine only for them to touch me slowly on my neck and the place behind the ear that gives me goosebumps. I have to bite my bottom lip to stop my pleasure moan from reaching the other side of the door.
“Whose are you?” Lucas whispers in my ear.
His breath, this close to me, only hardens mine through his simple whisper.
The response is blocked in my throat, while I’m trying not to make any strong sounds, as one of his fingers is running over the most sensitive and wet part of my body.
“You don’t wanna answer me? Do you want me to make you scream the answer for them to hear you, love?”
“N-no,” I say, already breathing heavily while his finger gets under my pants.
“Then tell me: who do you belong to? Who claimed you and left his mark on you? Who would kill anyone who tries to break us apart?” he growls in a dangerous whisper, suddenly taking his hand out of my pants.
