Chapter 10

Escape

Jasmina's POV

He wouldn't let me move and it was very unlike him.

"What're you doing?"

"What's it look like?"

"Um, holding me."

"Congratulations, you win." he said sarcastically.

I looked at him.

"Why are you holding me like this? This is basically cuddling. We don't cuddle."

"Yeah well maybe we should."

My eyes went wider than ever before.

"What the hell is wrong with you? No wait, don't answer that. You probably don't know."

"You're right I don't."

He brushed his knuckles against my cheek.

"I fucking love those eyes of yours."

I smirked and trailed my fingers across his forehead and down to the tip of his nose. He closed his eyes and he seemed to be enjoying the soft touches. I traced his lips and he shivered when my necklace hit his chest.

"Lo siento."

He looked up and held it in his hand.

"Lady of Guadalupe?"

"Very good."

He smirked and laughed a bit. I was still confused by his actions.

"Why are you doing this Green Eyes?"

He raised his hand to my face.

"Because you actually give me something to live for."

I rolled my eyes.

"¿Qué es? ¿El sexo?" (What is it? The sex?)

"What did I say about the Spanish? And if you said its about the sex, then you're half right."

I raised my brows.

"Oh really? Have you even figured out the other half?"

"Sort of. You make me feel alive."

"At least you are a master of sex. I said it before, you're literally the best I've ever had."

A look of pride came to his face and I smirked.

"Still like my voice?"

I couldn't take it. I kissed him hard and curled my tongue around his. I moaned into his mouth and he fisted his hand in my hair. He pulled so my neck was exposed to him.

"That mark is fading." He growled.

"Then how about you make a new one."

He obliged and sucked on my neck. I closed my eyes and moaned softly. I felt his cock getting harder inside me and I rolled my hips.

"Uh!"

"Caete!" I hissed.

"Again with the-"

I cut him off with a kiss.

Royce's POV

Goddamn this woman! She was gonna be the end of me. I flipped her onto her back and pounded into her. She was biting her lip so hard she drew a bit of blood. From past experience, I knew she was close. I moved to her ear.

"Cum! Cum around my cock!" I hissed.

She kissed me so she wouldn't scream as she came. As always I kept thrusting even after I was done. I didn't know how I was able to hold myself up. I kissed her softly and gently, slowly moving down her jaw to her throat. I had feelings for my Siren. I couldn't fight it anymore. I collapsed on her, resting my head on her chest. Her heart was racing and I reached up to touch her face. I traced her full lips with my thumb and then let my hand rest on the nape of her neck. She wrapped her arms around me, holding me close.

"Why are you holding me? I thought we didn't cuddle."

She snorted.

"Maybe we should."

I couldn't help but smile, and I was glad she couldn't see it. I didn't want to, but I got off her. We dressed and I started to walk back.

"Hey."

I stopped and looked at her. She just looked at me. I walked back to her and looked into her eyes. She stared into mine and then touched my face softly. She moved closer and I could almost feel her lips.

"Jasmina. You don't have to tell me yours. I don't expect you to either. I'm telling you because I know you're going try and get to that ship. In case I die, I wanted you to know. Sé que hay una posibilidad de que nunca te vea de nuevo." (I know there is a chance I will never see you again.)

There was a bit of sorrow in her voice. She kissed the corner of my mouth and then my cheek. She walked away and I stood there like a fucking idiot.

"Jasmina!"

I went after her but stopped when I smelled smoke.

"Smoke. Smoke!"

Everyone jumped up.

"Where's Noland?"

I looked at the Doc.

"He's a scavenger! He wants what we have!"

Jasmina was looking for a way out with Yakuza. Nikolai was banging on the wall we came in through. I was looking for Noland. I heard him shouting at his invisible friend and pulled my bandana over my face. He looked at me.

"Say goodbye to your little friend."

I pulled the trigger but I was empty.

"You're in my house motherfucker!"

I looked at Jasmina.

"Jasmina! Give me your gun!"

She didn't waste any time but when I turned back, Noland was gone.

"Goddamnit!"

I reloaded and then looked at the others.

"Get down!"

Yakuza pushed Jasmina to the ground and tried to cover her. I fired at the ceiling, knowing it would bring those creatures to us.

"Yeah that didn't open up shit!" yelled the convict.

"It was meant to asshole!" I growled.

They all stood up.

"I'm calling in the cavalry."

I gave Jasmina back her gun.

Jasmina's POV

Green Eyes started to fill a bag with the weapons Noland had hoarded. Scorpion went to the wall and kicked at it. I looked around and looked at the ceiling.

"Oiye! Someone give me a lift!"

Yakuza knelt down and cupped his hands. He helped me up and I managed to see out into the hall. I saw Noland just standing there.

"Finally found me huh? What took you so long?"

Then he was blasted to pieces. My eyes went wide and I lost my grip. I fell to the hard ground and backed away. They all looked at me.

"Ellos vienen. They're coming." I said.

Sure enough, one of those things banged on the wall. Scorpion scrambled backwards and soon the corner was bent forward. Green Eyes went forward with a flare gun. Nothing was trying to come through. He looked into the hallway and then fired the flare. I saw it glowing outside and he looked at me. He waved me forward and then he kicked the wall out. He went out first and then pulled me out. He looked at us and held his fingers to his lips. We went through the dark halls, the only light was the light on his gun. I heard a shout and stopped. The doctor was missing. He was on the other side. Nikolai went back.

"You gotta get me outta here man. Come on, come on."

Green Eyes kept going and I followed along with the others. Nikolai soon joined us be was going to turn.

"Nikolai."

He looked at me and I knew what he was going to do. I bowed my head and he nodded.

"Jasmina lets go!"

Scorpion grabbed the back of my shirt and pulled me away. We found holes in the wall, holes we could fit through. We found a way out and the doctor joined us again, but not Nikolai. We started to climb and I felt the ground shake. There was fire coming up beneath us. We all crawled out of a hole and the fire flew up. Green Eyes shielded my eyes as well as his. When the fire cleared I knew for a fact Nikolai was gone. He'd given his life to save us and kill the creature.

"We killed it."

I stood up and pulled Green Eyes with me.

"We killed it. We fucking killed it!"

He started laugh like a crazy person.

"Who's your daddy now motherfucker!? Huh!? Whose your daddy now!"

A blue blast came from behind and hit him in the chest. He fell to the ground and the red lasers turned to…

"NO!"

I shoved him aside and they were now on me. I remembered what happened to Noland. I'd rather die than watch that happen to him. I closed my eyes waiting for death.
