Hellbound With You (WN)

Burrowing her head in Kai ’s shoulder, Kelly cried hard, her body shaking, and her tears flowed nonstop, quickly making his clothes wet. Kelly had never cried in front of any man before. She was always that girl who acted and looked tough and all cool, but once she ’s inside her room alone, she would sometimes cry silently. No matter what the situation was, she was used to toughening herself and hold back every tear when someone was around.

But now, she couldn ’t stop crying in this man ’s arms. She knew that the extreme panic and fear had overwhelmed her entire being, but she also knew that she was unable to stop the tears because of this man holding her. The moment he held her, her walls and defenses crumbled. His embrace and touch were so gentle they seemed to be whispering to her it was okay for her to cry. She never even cried this long before. She would always, always force herself to stop, a voice inside her telling her the words, ’okay, that ’s enough, it ’s time to wipe the tears and rise again, ’ even during the times when she felt like she hadn ’t had cried enough. But this time, the voice didn ’t come.

All she could feel was Kai ’s wide palm patting her back so gently as if to him, she was some fragile vase.

After what seemed to be a very long time, Kelly ’s tears finally stopped. She started to hiccup as she pulled her face away from his shoulder. She hadn ’t heard him spoke again after saying he was sorry.

”You should ’ve told me to stop crying, ” she uttered between her hiccups as she looked at him. His eyes still pained, but they were no longer mixed with those dark and dangerous emotions.

He lifted his hand to her face, and his fingers shook a little as he wiped the remnants of tears on her face. ”You can… cry on me all you want. I won ’t stop you even if you drown me with your tears. ” His voice was low and still filled with hurt.

His words made Kelly smile. She reached out and settled her hand below his ear. Her thumb was caressing his strong jaw. ”Thank you for coming for me… for saving me… for being here, holding me… ” she uttered, and she planted a kiss on his lips.

Kai ’s grip on her tightened, and he was about to kiss her hard when a sound made him pull away. He had knocked the guards on his way inside the house. It seemed some of them finally regained consciousness.

”I need to take you away from here, now. ” He said, and after glancing at the bloodied man on the floor, Kai stood and dashed out of the place as he carried Kelly in his arms.

Kai headed to a red sports car and was about to put Kelly on the passenger seat when Kelly refused to let him go. He looked at her, and upon seeing Kelly ’s playful smile, he sat on the driver ’s seat, with her on his lap.

”You used this car to come here, right? ”

”Yes. ”
