Chapter 32
Predicament (3)
When they arrived at their cave, Switch noticed that Anonym had not spoken a word and lightly put her down on the chair. Her face was pale and showed sweat on her forehead. Switch was sure that she was in quite a lot of pain.
Putting his hand on her ankle, she flinched.
Clicking his fingers, an instant later she let out a groan, "Better?"
Anonym breathed out and nodded, the pain from the bone going back together, had already pa.s.sed. "Thank you."
Switch brushed some of her hair behind her ear and sighed, "Killing an Emperor isn"t a wise decision..."
She put the sword down by her side and frowned, "I have lived too long to care about who I kill. Emperor, concubine, a great master...If they want me to do something I don"t want to do and force it upon me, that ends up injuring me...Then it sucks to be them! Now that I think about it, I could have gone invisible...Forgot about that...Oh well, I’d rather not run away."
She shrugged and fixed up the crown on her head.
Shaking his head, he removed the crown, and asked, " He was the most powerful person on this continent, aren"t you afraid that they"ll get everyone after you?"
Anonym looked at him, from the crown that he had placed next to the sword, she had no fear within her eyes at all. "I thought you would understand me..."
Switch was a little hurt by her words, "I worry about you, you can still die...You can still get hurt!" He pointed then to her ankle.
Letting out a small smile, she leaned forward and put a hand to his face, "It is good that my a.s.sistant worries for me..."
For a moment they stared at each other. Switch was in conflict, as she gently had touched him, yet, called him an a.s.sistant. Anonym, on the other hand, stared at him in silence, as she silently celebrated his faithfulness. Not wanting her to get hurt, gave her cold heart some warmth that made her feel funny.
Remembering her previous life"s, she had indeed fallen in love before, most of those times, they were all dramatic. You seem to care more if you are in love. What are they doing? When can I see them again? Can we be closer?
It was that dramatic, Anonym didn"t want to relive it again...But, this feeling that was warming her heart seemed to be something similar to that.
Not wanting to ponder further on it, she went to take her hand away, but he put his hand over hers instead and leaned in himself, touching his lips to hers.
Anonym was angry, not only did she not want this to happen but she was taken by surprise.
Putting her other arm to his chest, she pushed him back and he fell to the floor. His strength was nothing to hers, after all, he was just a wizard who couldn’t cultivate...
It had only been a small gentle kiss, but she wiped her mouth anyway. Wanting to get away from Switch, she stood up and just as she went to walk away, he tripped her with his own feet and she fell back into his embrace.
He didn"t forcefully keep her there, as he let his hand go over her face once again.
Being quite shocked at his sudden change of tactics, Anonym didn"t know what to do. "Are you going to force me too?"
Switch gently smiled at her, "No, my leg slipped."
Anonym"s mouth twitched to his words. They sounded like something she would say! Noticing that he wasn"t holding her down, she felt glad, she really wouldn"t be ready to leave him.
Looking at his face, she couldn"t believe that she already liked having him around that much...She didn"t want him to make things difficult for her or have him leave on his own accord. It almost felt like they had already become somewhat of a family...She wanted to know how he got that scar on his face, how he came to be here…Also, she hadn"t seen how much power this person actually has!
Through this thought, she gained an idea!
"I know how you can make it up to me." She said, slyly.
Switch let out a chuckle, as he stared at her lips, "Oh? Then how can I make it up to you?"
Anonym pushed herself up, which made them become very close, "I have an idea that will help my curiosity and maybe could stop any kind of people coming after me."
He put a hand around her waist and said, "And this idea is?"
She put her hands around his neck, trying to remember how to flirt, and continued, "You are powerful right?"
Leaning his forehead against hers, he let out a small, "Mmm."
Putting her fingers through his shoulder length hair, she smiled at him, "How about I leave them to you. But I want to watch!"
Unable to totally comprehend her words, because of his slight l.u.s.t, he hugged her tighter, "Me?"
Feeling his warmth on her body, she suddenly remembered what it was like to be entangled with another. She had forgotten how enjoyable it was because she was thinking too much about not wanting to fall in love.
Thinking about it now, led her to moving her mouth to his.
