Cherreads

Chapter 7 - His Treasure

The grazing of his lips on her cheeks was pure bliss,her sharp intake of breath,his sweet smell,his hot breath on her neck made her trembled in haze of sensations.

When his soft lips touched her chubby cheeks,her heart beat faster,her body shook.She almost wanted to hold his head firmly to that spot.His sexy red lips on her fiery red cheeks.

Before Celina Could think more on it, the sound drew nearer the thugs drove in high speed, recklessly amid bushes to the paved path where their prey was.

Leon taking her hand in his,as they ran as careful as possible.Leon didn't want her to be hurt in the thick bushes with thorns underneath it.

"I have been here before"her handsome stranger whispered.His voice dark and sexy.

The low tone he was using made her breathless trying to calm her nerves.

it was damm hott.

Celina flushed,biting her lips to stop herself from turning fully to him and whispering back.

"I think this route would lead to the roadside"he paused as he made sure he was holding her hand firmly.

Celina nodded afraid to speak because the thugs were already out of the car and with lighted torches.

They were searching for them.

They were hiding in the thick bushes.

"Look"Leon whispered softly, she was hot already as his lips were grazing on her hoodie which enclosed her face from her eyes to her cheeks.

"Don't be scared,I don't want u panicking,but they are around this place".

Celina gasped low covering her mouth with her palms.leon wanted to kiss her fingers to reassure her that he would protect her,but the moment isn't right, Just him touching her can reduce him to a puddle.He didn't want to endanger them, forgetting their situation by indulging in his fantasies.

Celina noticed their car was still moving around that means some thugs are in the car, while the rest are on foot.They had a back up.

Leaving no chance for escape.

Nervousness and trepidation filled her heart, beating wildly in fear,until she felt someone tapping her back gently.

Without removing the hoodie she knew he was looking at her,like the way he has been doing since with the same intensity.

He was so gentle, as his hands moving in slow movements as tears filled her eyes at the mess they are in because of her!!

"It's going to be okay"Leon paused allowing the words to sink in,he couldn't touch her anymore.It was making his insides melt.

As he retracted his hands from her back, taking her palms in his and rubbing them slowly.

"You trust me don't you?"She nodded like a scardy cat.He felt she was scared.

leon continued,"I need words love!...I won't let them hurt you".His voice was firm, filled with a promise.

"Y..e..s..y...ye..SS..I believe you"Celina whispered as she tightened her palms over his in affirmation.

"I believe you"Celina repeated with firm trust.

She had never trusted anyone more than her handsome stranger that calms her nerves in chaos.

"I just hope I didn't miss this route,I don't want you to be in any danger". Leon sighed deeply, wanting her to be out of harm's way as far as possible.

"I trust you"she whispered her tiny voice like music in his ears"even if u do it's not your fault".

Leon wanted to comment,he didn't want that!?

The words were at the tip of his mouth to say,he didn't mind getting hurt just to protect her If he misses it he would love to tell her to run to a safer place while he would do rest of your thug.

Before he could find his voice, Leon heard footsteps sounding like soilders on foot ready to go on a war, matching towards where they hid.

In the barest whisper Leon said with urgency

"Once I said run..lovee. U run".

Before the thugs could walk a couple of steps to the bush, because they were alerted by sound, smiling in fulfillment they have got them.

One of the thugs yelled as they heared movements of people running " Call out for backup!!! Release the dogs!!".

Akash screamed who's the leader of the thugs.

Leon and Celina ran very fast as they called, there were bullets sounds in the air.It seems the men were shooting without a target,incase any meets them,Leon yelled still holding her hands"Go as low as possible and ran faster love".

Celina was running at his front the way he wanted it.He was right after her back checking if there were thugs he would sight them easily at the front or at the back.

His ear was alerted for any sharp sound like footsteps apart from sounds of gun in the air.

"Ohh God"Leon screamed kneeling in despair "I missed the route, it's in the cliff side".He was dismayed utterly shattered,his body shook on fear of something that would occur cos of his lack of good directions.

Celina knelt too,shocked at his reactions and didn't like how he felt so horrible towards himself.holding his face"It doesn't matter!"her hands shaking slightly"I trust u,we would be okay".

Leon half yelled"Am stupid! So damm stupid We can't go through the cliff.."His eyes turned darkened while he fisted his palms hard.

"You could get hurt"as his jaw hardened, clenching his teeth"am fucking crazyyyy!!what was I thinking". Still holding his face in her hands tenderly, whispering to him sweetly that it's okay,it was obvious he has lost his control overwhelmed with negative emotions.

"I can't imagine u hurt"His eyes softened a litte bit, clenching his white set of teeth hard" I can't imagine seeing scratches and blisters or worse Injurues on you.who knows what's lurking there?!".

"It's okay, I don't mind"Gripping his palms tight

Softly rubbing them together"look at me..I can't let you be their target"crying as tears slid from her face"I can't lose you!You have done alot for me!.."with cekiyvoice full of fear,her hand shaking"Going back to distract them!!!they might kill you".

Leon breathed heavily,he wasn't scared for a very long time.until now,he fucking didn't want her hurt!! His pretty damsel was right?,he cared no less if he was taken...

What scared him?What would make his heart rip out in shreds was what if she couldn't successfully escape?! and the thugs found her...

His heart rate beating fast as he remembered screeching sounds..loud noises ..red blood on tiled road and then total Black out.

Leon took his hands roughly from Celina's palms, holding his head in his hands, almost screaming loud which made Celina shocked at the same time scared something bad is happening to him. As his breathing went in fast rate, Celina hugged him tightly not wanting to let go.wanted him to be okay.

His voice hardened, panting "I won't let any brute or any man at all lay a finger on you"Celina body shook at the weight of his words, hugging him tightly,her emotions making her feel fully protected under his care.

Taking her hands in his as he rose up from their kneeling posture with determination,her body entwined in his.

"Believe me love I would protect u"Leon vowed protectively as his eyes filled with deep care and utmost desire to keep her safe.

Celina's smiled hugging him lightly "so will I".she firmly said in her tiny voice filled with determination.

With this in mind she was running ahead of him just a pace from where he was running,He kept looking back and front,both sides.

One striking thing on his mind

"Protecting her....His treasure".
