166 Truce
(Tom’s PoV)
I was right when I thought that I knew the man; Siji, I mean. I always knew he wasn’t the common ghost that we knew, that he was something more than that. To my surprise, I was right. He was the adviser of First Army, or White Army.
The last time I saw Siji was when he sent me back to my body, but at that time, I thought he was only a bodyguard sent by her ancestors to protect her. Only after I knew her identity as the Master of White Army that I realized how much my girlfriend had changed.
Of course, she changed to be a better self.
However, the moment I laid my eyes on her, my surrounding seemed to blur. I was a bit surprised when I saw Sanjaya the moment the door was opened. Seeing that he remembered me and acted guarded against me made me a bit uneasy. He didn’t even ask why I remembered him and how I got here, instead he asked why I was here. It was as if I was not welcomed in the house and he was guarding a very precious treasure.
Since I didn’t really like him, my answer towards him was a bit hostile, too. For a second, I thought that he was the Master, but thankfully Siji said it was not him. I really forgot that the one I saw that night was a woman.
Then, I heard her voice. My whole body stiffened for a split second as I recognized that voice. How could I forget her voice? My body acted before I knew it and I had barged my way into the house. Sitting on the couch with a pair of curious eyes was the one I had longed to see for months. Her wavy hair was tied in a bun with some shorter strands framed her oval face. Her curious eyes widened as she got up and walked closer to me hastily, anxiety was clear in her eyes.
I stood rooted on the ground, waiting for her to reach me since I was too afraid I couldn’t hold myself back if I were to make the first move. But, she stopped. She might be thinking that it was not me, and on the next second she would think it was me.

.....
As her scent drifted into my nose, I nearly lost my mind. Why did she have to smell so intoxicating? Was this the effect of being abstain from any sexual intercourse for months? But, even when I was still in the hospital, no matter how sexy the nurses there, I wouldn’t feel aroused at all. And because my memory of Jane mostly had been taken away by that creature, I couldn’t think of her at all since I couldn’t picture her in my mind.
Now that she was in front of me, I could feel her warmth, smell her scent, and touch her body, I could feel my own blood and heat went south and nearly blanked my mind. I had to fight so hard with myself to control my primal urge.
She had that effect on me! But, I didn’t know it would this strong.
Easy, boy, calm down. Easy! I reminded myself over and over.
Until I felt her tears and heard her sobs. All the pervert thoughts flew away, leaving only worry and anxiety over what made her cry.
“I thought you forgot about me.” She said between her sobs and I secretly breathed out a sigh of relieved when I heard the reason she was crying.
Pushing myself so that I could see her, I saw her eyes were red as tears streaming down her cheek. Not only her eyes, even her cheeks and nose were red. Seeing her like that, I felt guilty for making her worry about me. But, she was so cute, reminding me that time when I saw her crying in our room.
“How could I?” I wiped clean her tears with my thumbs as I smiled gently at her. She was still saying what made her anxious and I couldn’t help but laugh when all the reasons she said were exactly like those in the drama in the television.
She was so cute like that, but I knew better than to tease her at this moment. I didn’t want to ruin our reunion with my teasing. However, there was one person who ruined that moment.
Sanjaya.
Long story short, we had a long talk while Siji and Jane were waiting in the kitchen. I was still feeling displeasure with the presence of Sanjaya, especially when he reminded me that he was Jane’s fiance.
Like, who cares? Even though you are her fiance, but I am her boyfriend, the one tha she loves! So, what are you gonna do about it?
But, what he told me made me stunned. When I was struggling with my recovery, my dearest girlfriend was facing a hard time because her father was kidnapped. Sanji told me the story and proposed a solution, that instead of fighting over her affection, we needed to shower her with affection so that she wouldn’t feel that lonely.
I was her boyfriend, and he was her fiance. No one would step back to let the others claimed Jane’s sole affection. Seeing her expression when we were debating earlier, we knew that she was unwilling to let one of us go.
I was jealous, of course, but for now, her happiness was my priority. I would sign this truce between Sanjaya and me. Finding her father would be our mission since I was her General, too.
Ah, speaking about being General, there was no doubt she was the one at the second trial back then. She was speaking casually but the tone changed into the one similar to when she was talking back then; commanding and charismatic.
In a second, warm glow enveloped us and when it dissipated, I could feel something different from my body. I felt my body lightened and as if power was overflowing from my body before it slowly became steady. It felt so refreshing.
And I was not the only one who felt that, apparently Jane and Siji felt that, too.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Human, she is powerful. Maybe more powerful than you.” I heard Putra commented.
I agreed inwardly. Did I feel intimidated? No. I felt so proud of her, instead. She was strong, beautiful, but cute. She had soft spots and could be seen as weak, but that’s when she kicked asses. But, of course, I had reason why I wouldn’t feel intimidated.
Because, no matter how strong she was, she was still vulnerable inside. Our mission, Sanjaya and I, was to make her feel comfortable with her vulnerability, to prevent her from hardening her heart because she would feel that she was alone. We needed to make sure she was not alone, that we were here, that she could always depend on us.
That’s why, no matter how strong she was, no matter how monstrous her power was, no matter how wide her influence later was, we would always be by her side, supporting her.
With that in mind, Sanjaya and I reached for an agreement.
However, my strong and cute girlfriend did have her own dumb moment. I was sure our voice could be heard from where she was sitting, but why did she look as if she didn’t hear anything? Her face even flushed a bit, I wonder what she was thinking about.
In the end, we were the only ones left in the house. Sanjaya left to take his things since he was going to live here -I thought he had been living in the same house with her. Siji also left with a meaningful smile on his face.
Since those two had left, my desire lit up again when I saw her like a lamb ready to be slaughtered. I just missed her so much that I needed to touch her, feel her body against me, to make sure I wasn’t dreaming.
No, I couldn’t hold back anymore. I walked up to her, picked her up, and put her on the island table. Making sure our bodies were sticking closely, I dove down and sealed her lips with mine.
It felt so good kissing her like this, when both of our bodies felt warm. I used my several months frustration in the kiss while at the same time, I restrained myself. The warmth from our bodies had turned into scorching heat that travelled to my crotch. A part of my body down there started to stir alive and hardened with each kiss.
She was gasping for breath between our feverish kisses, moaning a bit, but I was sure she didn’t realize it. Her head tilted backwards as my lips travelled to her neck and sucked on there lightly. Even though my memories were taken, somehow my body still remembered where her sensitive spots were.
The state she was in now really couldn’t help with my predicament. Her body flushed red, her breath sounded erotic, and she was clawing my head with passion. Her legs were clamping tight on my hips and I nearly lost my mind and ground myself to her hot core.
Easy, Tom. Easy. Don’t let the beast out now! I reminded myself over and over. It was not easy, though.
