Chapter 871 Plain bad news
This chapter is dedicated to @Edi-o!
Back at the cabin.
It was already three in the afternoon, but Alicia and Zeke have yet to step out of the little cabin.
They had only slept a little. Most of their precious time together were spent on having more sex, cuddling, and talking. It was the best times that they had experienced in their entire lives.
"Let's go out, Ezekiel." Alicia finally said, propping her head up from her comfortable resting spot over his chest. She wanted them to maybe go out and do something else outside or they will have sex again. She wanted something different for today. It was truly such a massive surprise on how they both just could not – would not – stop, even after they had gone on for so many rounds already. A vampire's stamina is not to be looked down upon, Alicia silently thought to herself.
It just felt like they could not get enough of each other, of the sex itself as well. They always felt sated upon reaching their high, but after a break and he makes a move again, the fire just immediately ignites, and they end up burning for each other all over again.
"Where?" Zeke asked languidly, gently stroking the soft skin of her beautifully curved back.
"In the woods? Maybe?" Alicia elegantly shrugged a slender shoulder. She did not care where, as long as they went out somewhere.
"What do you want to do out there?" Zeke was curious and wanted to know. He was perfectly content and happy just spending whatever time they had frolicking in the cabin, while exploring each other's bodies over and over again.
"Hmm… maybe go for a run?" Alicia tilted her head sideways and pursed her lips in thought.
"No chance for that, Alicia." He smirked as he teased, staring at her. His eyes still gleaming, so alive, like he was staring at his newfound life. "You can never run away from me."
She pinched his cheek after rolling her eyes. "With you, I mean."
"I'd rather make love with you again, than –"
"No." she pinched him harder playfully. "I want us to go outside and do something else. How about you teach me how to fight as a vampire? Tomorrow, things might turn bad again, right?" there was a slight tenseness in her voice as she asked.
"Hmm… you don't really need any teaching, Alicia. You're already a warrior. You've got top notch fighting skills already. And we can't spar with you because of our… I think we could but..."
"Let's spar then!" Alicia's eyes twinkled and before Zeke could say a word back, she grabbed his hand and excitedly pulled him up. "I can't wait to test out how strong my vampire body is right now!"
Ezekiel could not help but bite on his lower lips. Somehow, the way her eyes gleamed as she said 'let's spar' reminded him of Alex when that guy was suddenly popping out of nowhere and disturbing him just because he wanted someone to spar with.
He could only sigh because he did not even have the heart to say no and disappoint this woman of his.
Soon, the two of them were finally dressed up when Ezekiel went to grab a handcuff from that black box under his bed.
Once they stepped out of the cabin hand in hand and with bare feet, Alicia curiously let her bare arm get hit directly by the sunlight. "Oh… so the sunlight does not really hurt that bad, huh." She muttered, "but it does seem a little bit uncomfortable."
"The sun could still be fatal. Back then, putting a vampire under the sun, naked for a long time was considered a form of torture." He pulled her under a large tree where the both of them were sufficiently shaded.
He bent down and clamped the cuff around her ankles as he spoke. "Remember that we're only going to spar with our hands, Alicia. No using of our feet because we still need our physical contact."
"Understood." She replied obediently like a girl scout and nodded her head quickly. She sounded so excited and could barely wait for it.
"Step on my feet." he said and Alicia immediately did as he had said. He could practically feel her excitement vibrating through her body.
He could not blame her though. She had been a spirit for quite a long while. He could imagine how much she must be itching to train or fight all those times being in that incorporeal body.
"Keep your feet on mine at all times or we will stop." He had to up his warning. She was too excited that he was a bit worried. She might end up enjoying their spar too much that she would forget everything else.
"Yes, yes. Let's start now, Ezekiel, please." Her eyes sparkled vivaciously as she bounced on the balls of her feet.
"Alright. Easy. Go ahead and attack me first –"
Zeke had barely finished speaking when his eyes stretched wide as her fist suddenly whooshed barely a millimeter away from the tip of his ear. He had barely dodged that one fatal attack! Could she just reel it in a little?
"Whoah! Amazing! This is amazing, Ezekiel!!!" she exclaimed then she attacked again, this time Zeke could only make himself alert. Her speed and strength were... she was just plain bad news!
Her blows did not stop coming. And the faster Ezekiel defended, her speed seemed to skyrocket as well. The movements of their hands were too fast for the human eye to follow.
A hit on Ezekiel's jaw halted the impossible action. "Opps…" Alicia looked like she could not believe she had managed to land a blow on the almighty Ezekiel Reign. "You should stop going easy on me, my love." She smirked and teased as she reached out to lick the little trail of blood that dripped from the corner of his lips.
"Go easy?" he caught her chin and pinched it a little roughly. "No one's going easy on you, babe. You're just that strong and fast that I'd probably get beaten into pulp if I'm not careful. Though I don't really mind a good beating from you as long as you compensate me for my troubles in bed later."
