Chapter 196 - Black Desire

"I could hurt you again or worst... i could"

"Liam please stop," Riley said taking his hand.

He tried to pull it off but she held it firm.

"Liam please" she said with pleading eyes, there was no way this will tear them apart not after everything they have been through together.

He looks away, not meeting gaze with hers.

She slowly reach and placed her hand on his cheek.

"Look at me" she urged but he didn't even flinch.

"Please Liam look at me... please" she said with pleading eyes.

He slowly turned to meet her gaze.

"Don't do this to me Liam..." she said taking a step forward.

"Don't do this to us" she adds softly.

Liam's eyes sadden at her words.

"Don't let someone as Omari come between us... its not worth it... not after everything we have been through" she sobs.

"Riley" he began.

"Please Liam don't... let it come between us, don't let it tear us accept... don't let it hinder our revenge on the agency... we can't-"

He cut her off as he smashed his lips on hers, Riley gasps on the sudden action making him gain more assess to her mouth, their lips both roamed together in longing, the feelings and emotions of their lost time together bubbling up.

With eagerness Riley wraps her arms around his neck tight, going on her tip toes as she deepened the kiss, Liam's hands straddled on her waist firmly, before he pulled away.

"Liam" she said puzzled as she stared at him, his eyes closed like he was refraining from something.

"Liam?"

"Riley I can't" he sighs.

"I can't" he adds opening his eyes meeting with her sad ones.

She scoffs turning to leave but he grabs by the arm.

"Then let me go!" She snaps facing him.

"I-I-I can't" he stammered.

"I don't get it... what are you so afraid of, you can't even touch me anymore" she said.

"Omari" he said, his gaze on her.

"There's this... heavy feeling... this darkness within me, I don't know I can't explain it... Babe I'm scared of losing myself to this darkness" he said.

"You won't Liam" she said placing a hand on his chest.

"Not while I'm here" she adds sternly.

His sad eyes met hers, he slowly reach for her cheeks.

"You're not in this alone" she said.

"There's no need to be scared... everything is gonna be alright".

"Promise me something" he began in a serious tone.

"Anything" she said softly.

"Promise me that no matter what happens to me you will bring down the agency and free the ghouls" he said.

"Liam nothing is gonna happen to you"

"Just promise me... please" he said with pleading eyes.

"I promise".

He nods, she went on her tip toes pressing her lips against his. He kissed back without holding back anymore, as he let his desire spawn free.

Riley moaned as he grabs her by the butt straddling her on his waist, she eagerly wraps her legs around his waist as he took her to bed.

The kiss went on in a fury match, containing their longing they both held for each other.

Liam trailed his hands to her laps gently raising her silk night gown off her body, leaving her body exposed for him.

He pulled away taking off his shirt, Riley's eyes lands on his bare chest, how she missed her eyes trailing on it and her fingers exploring.

"Anubis told me something" Riley began as her eyes met his once more, his chocolate brown eyes were dark with lust, she could already picture the wicked things he had in mind... but right now there was something more Important.

He lavished her neck with kisses and nibs.

"About the final consummation of our marriage" she moaned, placing her hands on his shoulder so she could get a better look at him.

"It's about the ghoul tradition, the real way to a marriage" she said in serious tone.

"Sean told me about something like that... he said something about sharing Claws" he states.

She nods.

"Liam, if we share our Claws right now... it could stop what ever is happening to you, it can calm the aura inside you... we can become one... and fight this together" she said.

He gulps hard.

"I don't know how i can-"

"Trust me Liam... trust me" she said gently.

He nods, he trusted her with his life there was no doubt about that.

"It's all about calling forth our Claws while we..." she bit her lip.

"Make love" he said smirking devilishly.

Riley rolled her eyes.

"The Claws will take over from there" she said.

"Let's get on with it then" Liam said not able to contain the burning desire within him anymore. He ravished her lips once again, they collided in a perfect rhythm.

Riley's body went in a white aura swirling around, Liam body did the same too, in a black coat of darkness.

Riley moved loudly as things got heated between them, his hands on her body, his lips on hers, the movement of their bodies, the rubbing together sent her body on fire as much as it did for Liam, it went on nonstop.

Unknown to them Liam's body suddenly phase to black at the back, running around and spreading. Riley's hands in ecstasy roamed his back unaware of the starting disaster.

Things got more intense as Riley wraps her legs around his waist, urging him to push forward but what she got in return wasn't what she expected.

Liam grabs her wrists pinning them down to the bed on either side of her.

In confusion she flashed her open and gasps. She was once again met with pitch black coal skin and void golden eyes.

Omari smirks broaden, Riley tried to move but her hands were pinned tightly.

"Liam" she said taking deep breaths.

"You're hurting me".

She was unable to move her body, his weight left no room for her to move. She was within his deadly jaws.

"Akila" he said in a demonic voice.
