SPELLBOUND

Chapter 305 - Crucial

Evie was caught off guard at the sudden kiss that had attacked her. It was another wild and sizzling one that Evie could not help but think if this Gav of hers had also forgotten how to kiss gently. Though she could not quite say she did not like it at all. In fact, she was surprised to know how much she is loving this wild and rough side of his. But… if he kissed her like this any longer, there was no way she would be able to even resist, as she would definitely be seduced instantly, helplessly, and completely!

She did not plan to do anything as of yet, as it was still broad daylight. Evie was planning to wait for the night-time to come before attempting to do anything. Not that she was being a prude or anything. It was only because she believed that it would be a lot better if the settings would be almost exactly the same as that night that she was trying to recreate.

But if he was already going on like this… how could she stay true to her plan? If this goes any further and with this level of intensity of his, they might very well…

Just as Evie was about to reach out and wind her hands around his head, Gavrael suddenly pulled way, surprising her even as her eyes flew open. Then he suddenly let himself fall on his back and laid all sprawled out on the rock, covering his eyes with the back of his palm.

Gavrael was suddenly and strangely being overwhelmed again. He felt as though his emotions were getting the better of him and he was a little afraid again that if he fails to control himself, he will be taking her right then and there like some barbaric hungry wolf again. Even though she did not seem to mind or even be angry at him about all that had happened last night, if he lost control and do such things to her again, and on top of it, in this broad daylight, he was certain she would be thinking of him as a lost cause! In his mind, he did not want her to have a worse impression of him than he already did at this moment.

Slowly, he took in several deep breaths, inhaling and exhaling slowly, trying his best to control his emotions and most importantly, to curb that raging fire of desire that was wrecking a havoc in his system. He did not want to do anything to ruin this blissful day. This was the very first time he was able to be with her in broad daylight like this, without losing his temper and turning things sour. So, he must at least be on his best behaviour and compose himself. He must not cause anything that could ruin the bliss of this moment he is sharing with Evie.

This had been one of the things he had been dreaming before. To be with her like this and roam around freely in broad daylight, without bothering about the time and not during the duration of the night. Now that it is finally happening, he wanted to savour it. He wanted to savour being with her like this, just sitting next to her and feeling her presence.

"Gav?" Evie held his hand that was covering his eyes but before she could remove them to look at his face, he suddenly made a move to grab her and brought her close into his embrace.

Evie was stunned but she stilled as her ears that were pressed against his chest picked up the sounds of his loud and skipping heartbeats. Listening to them was soothing to her and she then relaxed her body and laid on top of him.

She felt his fingers caressing her head and she revelled in his gentle and pleasant touch.

For what seem like a long time, the both of them just laid there, enjoying each other's presence without saying any words to each other until Gavrael finally pulled himself into a sitting position and rose with Evie still in his arms.

"I think we should head to Crescia now if you don't want us to end up returning to Kirzan before nightfall." He said and Evie reluctantly pulled away.

"You're right." she replied before moving out of the comfort of his arms and standing up.

Gavrael stood up and carried her in his arms again, and in no time at all, they reached the Mist Forest.

"Gav… somehow, I am getting the feeling that something's a bit off." Evie whispered lowly into his ear as she clung onto Gavrael.

"What is it?" Gavrael landed on one of the large branches of a massive tree and looked at her.

"The beasts. It's strange that we have yet to encounter even a single one of them. The savage orcs should also be somewhere around here right now." She muttered below her breath, but he could still hear her clearly. Gavrael narrowed his eyes after hearing her say that because she was right. This should be the very place where those beasts were constantly rampaging around. This was their turf.

"Could it be that they've sensed your aura and are all scared away by you? Or did you cast some magic to drive them away?" Evie raised a brow at him. There was no sign of worry in her eyes at all.

He remembered that Evie always clung to him nervously every time they passed by this place in this Mist Forest. She was very frightened by the orcs and that was why she preferred to ride a dragon and fly over this section of the forest sometimes.

"I didn't do anything. And the orcs aren't afraid of anyone, even of a dark fae. The savage orcs are a little intelligent but not the other beasts. Instead of running away from danger, they would foolishly attack… So, I don't think I'm the reason why they're gone." He explained and Evie creased her brows.

"If that's the case, then why?" she wondered loudly, "could it be that Onyx was the one who had scared them all away?"

"Perhaps…?" he replied though quite unsure. But in his mind, he did not think it was as simple as that. Usually, the dragons will not do anything to the beasts as long as they do not attempt to cross the entrance of the gates of Crescia.

"Alright, we better go ahead and find out what has happened." Evie then decided and Gavrael leapt forward again, keeping her securely wrapped within the circle of his arms. His mind was now occupied, his focus became sharper. He could not believe he had missed out and failed to notice such a crucial matter!
