Hellbound With You-Chapter 873 Last night

This chapter is dedicated to @Edenn! Thank you so much for the supergift!

The temptation was so strong that when he pulled her against his body, she suddenly felt like she had gone all boneless and weak again. She was just feeling damned strong and invincible not just a moment ago, feeling as though she could stand her own against the world. But just the next second, she now felt like her knees could not even hold up her own weight and just wanted to tumble onto the bed with him and forget about the world already. All she wanted now was to be frisky and have some fun time with this delicious man!

Only this man could do this to her. And she did not know how to even resist him because her body was obviously helpless under his spell. She just melts like butter in a hot pan whenever he was there seducing her with his deep, grey eyes, or his wonderfully mellow voice or his perfectly chiselled body.

But just as she was about to go on tippy toes and kiss that sinfully inviting mouth of his, then wrap her legs around his waist so he could bring her inside the cabin again, he lifted his head and looked to his side.

That sharp and alert reaction… Alicia already knew that someone might be coming – or they might even be nearby already – because his aura, his expression… everything about the carefree Ezekiel had suddenly and sadly seemed to have disappeared in the blink of an eye. It was like the stoic Ezekiel had taken over the reins again.

"Someone's coming." He whispered lowly into her ears.

"An enemy?" Alicia already had herself prepared.

"No."

"Oh…" Alicia scolded herself for actually feeling a bit disappointed. It seemed as though she was itching to fight whoever it was that would dare come over and tried to separate them again. She was itching to beat them up hard and mercilessly if they dared to come at them again. But if it was not enemy, was it okay for her to be seen like this now?

He guided her behind him. His broad back shielding her from the view of whoever it was that was approaching fast towards their cabin. And this one gesture was enough for her to understand that Ezekiel did not seem on planning to show her newest 'upgrade' to whoever this visitor was.

"What is it?" his usual, unfeeling tone echoed out once the visitors arrived. She could tell that there were two people that had arrived. One was a vampire, and the other was a male witch. She could tell just by listening to their heartbeats.

"Your Highness… uhm…" that voice belonged to no one else but Lucas! Alicia would be able to recognise his voice even if she did not see him! "Alexander wanted me to send you a message."

"Get on to it, Lucas."

"Alexander said that you and Alicia must arrive at his home for the twins' baby shower tomorrow. He said excuses will not be accepted."

Ezekiel was silent for a short while. "Is that all you have to report?"

"He also said that you have nothing to worry about. That he could assure your safety while you and Alicia are in his home. Also, he said he was going to handle everything else with his wife tonight."

A somehow awkward silence reigned until Lucas' voice echoed out again. "That's all, boss. We're… going then."

"Lucas." Ezekiel spoke. A voice that was not hard nor loud, but it held such a chilling weight.

"Yes, Your Highness." Lucas was at attention, waiting for his Lord's commands.

"The next person that comes over near to this place might never return alive." The statement was delivered lightly but with a lethal promise of sure death!

Another short silence passed before Lucas could respond. "Understood, Your Highness. I will definitely warn anyone who dares to disobey. But before we go, may we know your response? I'm afraid you can't reject Alexander's invitation, unless you want him coming here himself."

"Tell him we'll be there." Ezekiel replied, knowing that if he did not give a favourable answer, Alex would not mind running over here to get his answer. No matter if he ended up disturbing both Ezekiel and Alicia's personal time.

"Understood, boss. Well then…" Lucas and the male witch with him finally left the clearing.

Alicia remained quiet and unmoving behind him until she heard him drew in a deep breath and turned around to face her.

"It seems like we don't have a choice but to accept the invitation for that baby shower. Is that alright with you?" he asked her. His expression and tone were back to the dirty-talker Ezekiel. She was amazed at how he seemingly switches so effortlessly between one persona and the other. But her heart could not help but just melt at the realization that Ezekiel was only showing that side of him to her alone. Her heart warmed at the knowledge that this dirty talker was only hers and hers alone.

"Well, I don't really want Alexander coming here. I bet you don't want that as well and that's why you agreed… and…" a gentle smile curved over her lips as she continued emotionally. "I really wanted to see Abi and her children too. Though I wonder if it's okay for me to be there? Is it okay for everyone to see that I'm… I'm a vampire now? Also, Abi must have thought that I'm long dead."

He fiddled with her hair again. "It's fine. I have a plan about that. And don't worry about Abigail. I'm certain Alex had already spilled some of the beans to his wife long ago. It's impossible for that guy to keep a secret from her. Now, it's time for you to forget about everything else but me." Then he lifted her in one swift movement and Alicia enthusiastically wrapped her slender but strong legs around his waist. "This is our last night here. So... prepare yourself, Alicia." Came his warning. His voice was dark, low and full of promise on a long and passionate session ahead.
