---- 284. DON''T ANGER THE WIFE! NARRATOR Lavinia clicked her tongue like she was still mad, feeling him tense up again against her back. Watching him so obedient and docile was stirring a morbid curiosity. "I get your reasons, and you even sound sweet with all those stories from the past..." the woman''s voice sounded indifferent. "But that doesn''t erase the fact that you moved me like a pawn, nning things even before we got here." "Lavi..." "Lavinia.

    I still don''t know if I forgive you." Laziel pressed his lips together hard when he heard her, a little sorry for his choices. Lavinia had never been this mad at him, not for real. He stared at the soft chestnut waves; her scent was intoxicating, sweet, delicious. But he hated that she wanted to pull away from him. He needed her like air. "I''m sorry, I didn''t mean to..." he repeated. ---- He could count on one hand the times he''d apologized in his life.

    His hands tightened even more when she tried to pull away. He clung to her waist and wrapped her up, leaving her no space. Did he really take this too far? He thought... she''d like the surprise... his craziness... "Let me go already, Laziel, we''re in the middle of a war, I need to think..." Lavinia kept struggling, and a panic like never before seeped through the male''s soul. His golden eyes began to be covered by a midnight sheen. "Think about what...? No, you''re not leaving me...

    I can send the specters back if you don''t want them anymore!" He spun her in his arms, but her waist was still under his control, and his hand slid up to her chin to make her look at him.

    Lavinia was startled to see Laziel''s eyes nearly ck and his face thrown out of shape Now he was starting to look more like his father when he lost control "I didn''t think it would bother you that much, I just thought it was a game between us, like the ones we y in bed..." ---- "Laziel, really, I was afraid of dying..." "Never!" a deep, vibrant, strange voice roared at her, making the walls tremble. "I would never let you die. You should''ve known it, Lavinia.

    From the first moment they threatened you and I didn''t show up... you should''ve understood I was ying with you, that I''d never put you in real danger." Lavinia shivered, and her heart raced out of control. She wanted to punish him a little longer; since he liked games so much, give him a taste of his own medicine. But things were getting out of hand. Pushing her away from Laziel was summoning the monsters inside him. "Tell me what I have to do so we''re okay, tell me...

    I''ll do whatever you ask, Lavinia, tell me..." He pressed her, driving her back to the wall, not pulling away from her, his mouth whispering over hers, stalking her. Spectral mist poured from his strong body and trapped her like hands that wouldn''t let her go. The whole room was darkening with dancing shadows, the walls warping into a vortex of madness.style
