Chapter 2
"Numair- We have to stop" said Daine, pulling up her breeches defensively. Numair scared her sometimes, the way lust consumed him like a raging fire and eradicated all logic from his mind. That Numair was just too different and difficult from the scholarly, bookish, scatter minded person he usually was.
Numair grunted, Daine had to admit quite disgustingly like an animal on heat. She liked his kisses but definitely not the way he had been advancing on her, it was too predatory for her liking.
He pulled himself away.
Diane turned away, she didn't want to face the hurt in his eyes. It was true that today she had meant to hurt him and she was being more mean than usual but she surely had expected him to be more considerate of her feelings! He had always given in to her!
It was no use, the hurt resounded in his voice. Choking back his words, Numair did sound like he was about to cry..."Why-Diane? I thought we discussed this yesterday night"
"You didn't speak anything to me" came the curt reply
"You sounded vague, unclear, incoherent and-"
"I told you that if we were to redraw from this relationship and not go forward, more feelings- more harm would be done"
"You did not!"
"Daine!-"
"All you said was that I would be more hurt if You stopped advancing and you had done enough harm to me!"
"Is that not true?"
Numair looked clearly confused.
"I don't even LOVE you!" She broke, yelling out at him, " How am I supposed to get hurt if you stop advancing?! I would be relieved instead! Now I have no more time for you and your needs, whines and girlish petty desires!"
With that Daine stormed out but a hand caught her arm.
"Please Daine, Im sorry I phrased it wrongly. I was proud to admit the truth"
It was Numair.
"Whats the truth then?!" She retorted, jerking her arm away forcefully.
Daine faced him defiantly and was shocked to find that he had teared up. The tears he had forcefully wiped away still stained his dark, sensitive face.
"I love you", came the quiet reply
"I can't live my life without you thats why more hurt will be done. If you leave me now, I will rather die. A death by magickus aldidae Isis"
"If you care, at all"
