Chapter 220 Let's Escape

Ba dum!

Ba dum!

Lumina's eyes widened in surprise at the mention of the word. "Y-you aren't thinking of–"

"Shhh!" He hushed her and placed his index finger over her mouth and shook his head.

Lumina gulped and stiffened. No matter how well she was trying to determine what was going on in his mind, she couldn't tell if this was another trick he was playing on her.

"Nix, stop playing and get off." She pushed on his chest.

Her head whipped to her wrists, he pushed her hand over her head and did the same with the other.

Feeling vulnerable, she tried to squirm out of his grasp to no avail. "Nix?"

Her heart pounded in her chest, and her confusion only doubled. He had said he couldn't commit until he could fully trust her, and vice versa.

Leaning forward, "let's escape from this shit hole."

"Waah?!" Her mouth gaped open at his proposal.

Nix studied her features and his brows only eased at how impossible their position was as if it were in the past.

"I would let you in on all about me, and I trust you would too." He whispered with a grin.

Lumina closed her eyes when she felt his breath fan against her face ever so lightly.

"What are you doing?" She struggled to be let free. If he was going to keep her in suspense, she would appreciate it if he didn't begin in the first place.

Nix watched her without saying a word, his gaze locked on her lips.

'Why do I feel like my whole body is on fire?' He wondered.

He had never been one without experience back in his world, but being over Lumina made him think of the lewdest things he could do.

"Why?" He mumbled, leaning forward so their lips were just two inches away from each other.

Lumina gulped and for a second, her heart skipped a beat with the proximity.

She had lost her sense of questioning about what he had meant, her mouth slightly gaped open.

'Get your thoughts together! What are you doing?!' Lumina's subconscious repeatedly yelled in her head to no avail.

Subconsciously, Nix jerked forward.

"Mff!" Lumina let out a moan.

Her wide eyes stared at an equally shocked Nix.

"I... I..." Nix stammered but couldn't bring out the words to justify what he had done.

'Keep your thoughts in check!' Nix tried to caution himself as he let go of her hands.

Lumina wrapped her legs around his waist, pulling him closer.

"Woah!" He gasped as he saw himself get pulled down at such great speed.

He froze the moment he felt the cushion of her bust on his chest.

Lumina had a wry smile, shrugging her shoulders like she knew nothing of what she had done.

"What am I to you?" She said in a whisper.

'What is she to me?' Nix questioned his subconscious, he had never given much thought to it, but on the mention of it, he began to think about why he had done what he did so far.

"A special person I can't afford to lose. I never knew what it meant to care for someone, but you helped me to experience that." He replied with the first thing that came to mind

Lumina's eyes teared at his words, and her cheeks flushed.

"That's such a cheesy reply." She coughed, trying to downplay his words to calm her racing heart.

Nix frowned at the way she had taken his words. He wasn't kidding, yet she thought it was a joke.

Lumina wanted to know to what extent his seriousness was and tried to play on his word, "I had heard something similar to this so many times and have been deceiv–"

Nix couldn't take her words anymore and captured those soft lips in his. Desire temporarily clouded his thoughts.

'If I can't convince you in words, I would in action.'

Lumina's eyes were wide open, she had wanted to pull away from the kiss but felt herself melting under his touch.

Pulling away from the kiss, he placed his forehead on hers. They used the brief moment to catch their breaths.

"I know I might be a jerk sometimes," Nix chuckled as he whispered.

Lumina nodded her head to his words, she couldn't agree more.

Nix closed his eyes to how quickly she had agreed. "Anyways, I would never want to hurt you."

"What I want right now is to leave this place," he said and pulled away. Sitting on the edge of the bed, his back against her.

As much as he wanted to act on his desires, he would never choose to do so in a place where he might be watched.

Lumina pushed back until she got to the headboard, sitting upright. "What do you mean?"

"We're all sitting ducks in here, it's almost like our actions are dictated." Nix pinched the bridge of his nose and shook his head.

"I have been having a feeling that they do not want us knowing the other members of the organization and would stop at nothing to keep us in check and distracted." He deduced.

Ever since their arrival, the only member of the organization they had seen is Zephyr and Obsidian was more of an experiment that had blown up in their faces.

"What do you suggest?" Lumina said with a sigh.

"We need to plan our leave within this week. While we're at it, get as much information as we can." He rubbed his hands in mischief.

Lumina shook her head and smiled at how conniving he was when planning things.

She made a pout realizing they had always been interrupted when it pertained to making out.

Nix scratched the back of his head, totally understanding the reason for such an attitude. "You have to understand where it might lead."

Lumina's brows knitted together. "Hmph!"

Nix looked up at the ceiling to distract his thoughts. "I will make it up to you soon."

"I'm counting on that." Lumina raised her chin.

Crawling to the edge of the bed, she hugged him from behind and placed her chin on the shoulder.

"If you don't live up to the expectation..." She hissed in his ear, her eyes glowed and a wave of electricity coursed through her body, jolting him.

Jumping to his feet, he pretended to warm up with a stretch and successive jumps.

Looking behind him, he narrowed his eyes at the stunt Lumina had carried out on him. "You should be glad that you know I would go easy on you."

"Were you going to kill him?" Lumina mumbled just enough for him to hear. Quickly deactivating the glow in her eyes when she blinked, she wondered how he would take it.

She was partly sad about the condition of her brother, he was a prodigy who had gone against the tricks of the organization, yet he was a victim of the very thing that he fought so hard against.

"If I had not arrived." She added and locked eyes with him.

Nix thought about her words for a while and cleared his throat. If it was only Obsidian present, he would have made use of Red to do some damage and rip a bit of him to sound a warning.

Blinding him was also very tempting at that point.

Nix gasped at the realization of triggering the emergence of the dragons in his thoughts. 'Oh no no!'

<You should have let me kill him, he's already dead anyways> Red chipped in with a chuckle.

'Shut it!' Nix hissed in his thoughts, wiping the sweat off his forehead.

Lumina stared at him wondering why he looked like he had seen a ghost.

She tried to look behind her even though there was nothing other than the wall behind her.

Shaking his head to the slight disturbance, he let out a sigh. 'You all need to know when I'm referencing you when I need you.'

<I had told him severally> Rekor sneered at Red.

<Don't act like some sort of weakling, you very well know that we thrive for the fear and kill!!!> Raiken snapped.

Nix let out a yell to clear his head, startling Lumina in the process.

"I'm sorry!" He said calmly, lowering his head at how he had just followed the only thing that came to his mind at the time to get rid of their words in his subconscious.

Lumina had her hand on her chest to calm herself. Even if she couldn't understand why he had suddenly shouted that wouldn't stop her from getting the truth she so wanted to hear dearly.

"I would be frank, I had planned on letting him go at first and wanted to prolong him being alive so you two could one-day cross paths," Nix replied with a chuckle, wiping down his face at how unreal things were.

"So what pushed you to give him a good beating until I had interfered?" Lumina pressed with a hum and a nod of her head.
