Senseless

KILLIAN’S POV
I had totally forgotten about Sonia. With the fast pace of everything. The news, royal matters and of course that impromptu night with Rosalind. Now here she was bubbling with joy after the news of the moon festival was announced.
I walked to Aunt Lily. Who seemed very pleased today.
“Killian,” she smiled.
“Aunty.” I returned the favour with a smile. I knew how to put up appearances as well.
“What exactly is your plan with Sonia?” I decided that going straight to the point was the best approach, especially when it had to do with her.
“I don’t know what you are talking about. All this is probably just a coincidence.” She shrugged, no doubt enjoying herself.
I nodded.
“If you say so, then that’s alright.” I turned to move but she stretched her cane.
Aunty Lily leaned forward to me and whispered, “She’s here now. This could as well be a chance for you. Be smart about this, Killian.” She said softly but firmly enough to tell me what I needed to know.
She walked away after those words.
After some minutes, Sonia came to where I was and whispered to me.
“I see Cillian is still as quiet as he has always been. I thought a bit of ruling would louden him up a bit.” She said after waving at him from where we stood even though I told her she didn’t need to.
Her hair was back to its bright blonde now, like it had been for the time we knew each other, and that was quite a while.
“I thought you were studying abroad or something?” I asked, trying to get her to talk about the real reason why she was here even though I had my own hunches.
She picked up a big stick of cotton candy from the stand in front of us and chewed a little of it and closed her eyes dramatically. She always liked sweet stuff.
“Hmm… it’s almost like I never left.” She smiled, taking a bigger bite of the candy.
Her eyes glowed in its bright yellow as she took more bites of cotton candy.
“Seeing as you still enjoy this shit, it’s hard to argue.”
She glared at me. Sonia treasured sweet things, especially snacks and cotton candy. I mean she absolutely adored them. She hadn’t changed one bit.
“And I see your taste in things are still as unflashy as ever.” She hit back.
This was one thing with Sonia, she just never gave up and she’d rather eat silver than let someone give the last punch.
I looked her in the eyes, a cold stare. She matched it, unblinking. Then she smiled and skipped to the gardens.
I followed, wondering what exactly Aunty Lily was scheming. I would find out soon enough.
We dated for five years before she left for art school. She was one of the few beings that could look me in the eye apart from Cillian.
Sonia and I had broken up when she left for school abroad. She had wanted us to continue but I knew the drill. Long distance relationships weren’t my thing. I found them rather cringe. But she was back and looking sexy as ever.
I had been ignoring it since she came but the gown she wore exposed enough cleavage to make a dead man speak. She was built differently but I was patient to see where this would go.
“You still play tennis?” I said, swinging the bat on the table.
“Ha! Not really, but I can still beat you anytime.” She bragged.
She was indeed good in the game. She had thrashed me in tennis for as long as I remember. This was pretty much the only thing in the world that someone could beat me at. But that was a long time ago.
“I even brought my rackets.” She smirked.
“No need for that, let’s play a fair game.”
I summoned a servant and had them prepare the whole set up.
Sonia disappeared and returned with a headband.
“Shall we?” I bounced the ball in my hand.
“Wait. Who goes First?” She asked, twirling the racket in her hand.
“I’ll go.”
“Hmm… let’s flip a coin.”
I fished out a coin from my pocket.
“Heads or tails?”
“Tails.” She said as always.
I flipped the coin and it landed on tails.
“Yay,” she cheered, took the ball and the game began.
Her first serve was not as strong as I expected, so I pounced, but she was fast. The tennis ball bounced back and forth between us at high speed, canceling each other out.
Then I caught her making a slip-up with a careless backhand. I did a flick, knowing she would never reach it from her position. Instead she skillfully flung her racket towards where the ball was going.
The ball made contact with it and shot back towards me. I hadn’t been expecting that move, the ball bounced off my side and fell off.
“Woohoo!” She punched the air.
“Let’s go again.” I said picking up the fallen ball.
She beat me three more times and I decided it was time for a little break.
The servants poured two glasses of juice for us as we settled down under one of the trees.
“Told you I would beat you.” She smiled, taking a sip from her glass.
I took a sip and frowned. The damn juice was too sweet. This was exactly why I usually just stuck with brandy. Oh well.
“Wanna tell me why you really came to Southern Paw?”
“Maybe just to beat you again.” She smiled.
“I’m serious, Sonia.”
She pouted.
“It’s been a while, Killian. I wanted to surprise you.” She said, moving closer to me.
Her body was warm.
“I miss how much fun we used to have.” She bit her lips and traced a line down my chest with her nails.
“Really, you came to…?”
“Mhmm.” She nodded, biting her lip.
I smirked. So this was it.
I understood Aunt Lily’s plan now. Not bad.
“Let’s take this upstairs.”
In my chambers, she went wild. She tried to kiss me but I grabbed her by the neck and squeezed. She whimpered, that was her kink – getting choked.
I took one of the candles from the night stand and placed it over her naked back. She moaned when the hot wax dropped on her body, enjoying the pain.
Then she turned around and pressed her lips on mine.
I pulled her hair so i. could see her face
“Is this why you came back here? To fuck? Tell me how much my aunt offered you to come here right now.”
ROSALIND’S POV
After the high priestess left, I turned to see Cillian staring at me from where he stood.
My heart rate seemed to increase at the sight of him staring. I tried to relax my breathing, then I remembered seeing him with that other wolf that night. It annoyed me. I wanted to just walk up to him and ask him who the fuck she was.
I blinked and Cillian appeared in front of me.
I panicked but when his palm rested on my shoulder, my body automatically started to relax.
I had missed his touch, no matter how angry I thought I was, my body still warmed up at the sight of him.
“Aunty Celia insisted I went on a date. I guess you saw me with Elizabeth the other night, that explains while you’re upset and I understand.” His voice was straight and sober but I could sense the hint of pain in it even though it was very small.
“There was a lady with Killian, who is she?” I asked, remembering how comfortable the blond haired wolf had been with Killian like they had known each other forever.
“That was Sonia. They go way back. She was his girlfriend, his first girlfriend. They dated for a while before she travelled abroad. She was in art school and now she’s a model. I’m just a little surprised to see her here and at this time too. But I have my suspicions.”
I nodded and he continued.
“She could be here because maybe she just missed home and wants to come back, or maybe she’s still on tour but decided to drop by? Or she’s here with an ulterior motive. I think soon we’ll find out.”
I nodded. There was a lot on my mind.
“I’ve missed you so much.” Killian said all of a sudden. His voice was heavy and hungry.
Just the utterance of those words were enough to spark something in me and I could feel myself getting hot for him.
“I thought you would have company, since you had been going on dates.” I said stubbornly.
He came closer and the scent of him grew even stronger. He took a deep breath and exhaled deeply, longingly.
“Nobody gives off this same scent. And this is the one I want.”
I could feel my legs get weaker with every word he was saying. I had missed his touches too. His soft and tender kisses, his strong arms…
KILLIAN’S POV
“I was bored.” Sonia shrugged when I let her go.
“And I do like your aunt very much so I decided to come back here. It was like killing two birds with one stone. Apparently she thought I needed money and I didn’t want to disappoint her.” She smiled.
Anybody else would have been shaking from the way I had interrogated her but Sonia wasn’t just cool, she was even playing around.
I looked at Sonia in her red lingerie. She always wore a matching set. It had been her style since forever and red was her favourite colour. It always looked good on her.
On a normal day, I would have probably fucked her senseless but I wasn’t very keen on aunty Lily having her way like that.
I saw Sonia off that night before coming back to my chambers.
“I would have liked a goodbye fuck but it seems you’re becoming too responsible.” She whispered when I hugged her goodbye.
I smiled and she put on her glasses and got into the car.
“See you around.”
As I saw her off, I felt a very tingle on the back of my neck. I knew what it meant.
I was being watched.
