Shall Under Your Charm

Chapter 27

On a clear morning, Farah took a walk around the beach. He kicked off the white sand with his bare feet. Seagulls flying around, making Farah always smile cheerfully.

Dennis, the master gunner, the nickname given to him by all of Keith's men, was walking towards him with two long-barreled rifles on his shoulders. "Hey! What are you doing here yourself? Where is Gege?". Hello Dennis.

"Gege was in the kitchen, he said he'd bring me the chef's latest cookie here".

Dennis nodded his head. "Yes. You have to try it and I guarantee you won't regret it!" Dennis said with a smile. "Then, where's Ryan? Why aren't you with him?".

Farah just shrugged her shoulders indifferently. From last night until this morning Farah had not seen Ryan anywhere. "I don't know".

Dennis chuckled until he sat on the sand and was followed by Farah. "I thought you and Ryan missed each other on the hahahaha bed".

"Crazy. My relationship and she's not what you'd imagine anyway it's disgusting to be touched by her. It felt..... Weirdo".

Dennis gawked in thought. "God.. I've never met a woman who didn't want Ryan."

"I want him, but cut into pieces. Not fused with each other" said Farah with ketus.

"Is that really what you want?" A man's baritone voice interrupted them. Makes Dennis and Farah quiet scared. In the blink of an eye, Dennis stood up and left Farah just like that.

Farah slowly stood up and looked at the always perfect Ryan. Farah's footsteps very slowly moved back.

"Rab again?" ryan asked in a soft tone.

Due to her long separation from Ryan, Farah forgets how great Ryan is at controlling her and being able to analyze her thoughts.

"Gege didn't tell me you were back." Farah suddenly muttered.

"I didn't tell him. Keith also did not know of my return. I just wanted to surprise you, but I was surprised". Ryan stared at Farah. "There's a lot going on while I'm gone, huh? I left you lamenting on the bed and when I got back, it turned out you were playing with cannons."

"I'm sorry. For a few days I was terrified by your threats to torture me. And you can see for yourself now, I've gotten used to it here and forgotten where I came from".

"Wow. And also you can already boast" said Ryan chuckling. "And you learned to be a member of the Dark Devil? With that outfit of yours you're wearing?".

"If you think wearing Gege's clothes makes me a mobster, then I'll let him go right now". Answer Farah. But a second later he realized what he had said, Farah turned quickly to hide such a great shame.

Not long after, Farah felt Ryan's warm hands on her back. He is pulled back and comfortably leaned against Ryan's sturdy body Ryan's fingers gently caress Farah's hair, then slip it behind his ears, and Farah could feel Ryan's breath there.

Feeling lulled, Farah unconsciously nodded. Ryan turned Farah's body to face her, then stepped back to release Farah.

"Why do you agree so quickly? This is not what I expected. But, I have no habit of hurting a very young woman, let alone that woman is the bed warmer of my greatest enemy. You're entertaining me, baby. But your presence here is not right. Why don't we get rid of each other? I'll give you one last offer, just answer one of my questions, and I'll release you, plus a payment in cash or gold, the nominal is up to you as long as it makes sense. And I'll make sure you'll never be tracked as a source of information."

Farah's cheeks turned red with anger. He could have asked Ryan to stop talking, but his tongue was muffled from holding back the boiling anger.

"All I want is the name of one of the three men you were with the night I met you at the club".

"I won't say it". Said Farah firmly. Did she think I was going to talk about my sister and her two best friends?, thought Farah.

"It's infected your life, honey" said Ryan calmly. "Once in a while, try to see things from a different point of view. I'm interested in a reasonable compromise, the less I hurt you, the better. You must have found a smart solution to overcome the situation that befell you, right?".

"And you have a solution if I don't want to open my mouth. You're gonna sell me...."

Ryan's eyes pretended to be surprised. "I've said that before?".

"You said it once! Why do you look surprised now? Are you serious about what you say? Or, you just want to stir up my emotions like Gege told me, right?"

"Flood....." Ryan stared fixedly. The morning sunlight adds to the beautiful figure of Farah, with smooth cheeks of redness. "Although I'm a jerk, I won't sell your teasing little ass".

"Then will you let me go?" farah said expectantly. "You've admitted you don't want me".

"No. I'll release you if you open your mouth".

Ryan has to be tough against Farah because it looks like that's the best strategy. "And you misunderstood. I said you were a hassle, but that doesn't mean I don't want you. Wanted you. Have you forgotten him?"

Ryan's hand pulled Farah quickly into his arms. Ryan felt in his arms a small staggered body, his heartbeat felt in his chest. Ryan smiled wryly.

Farah, who knows little about the intimacy between two different types of human beings, still feels a strange urge in certain parts of her body. All parts of the neck up feel cold and lulled, and all parts of the neck down feel hot.

Desperate, Farah tries to distance herself from Ryan, and all she gets is Ryan's slumped palm on her back. Then it stopped at the part of his body that he never mentioned his name, and Ryan cupped it gently. All Farah could do was close her eyes and pretend she wasn't there. But shit... Ryan's hand made him always make it back to the real world.
